For Raishan getting hit with Feeblemind would be such a slap in the face. She always regarded herself as better, smarter, more clever than the others. To be reduced to a brainless giant lizard instead of being the mastermind dragonic sorcerer she was by a little girl? No magic, no mind. The greatest of insults.
I think Marisha crawling back to the table might actually be what her earth elemental form looked like emerging from the ground for the first time. I'll have to go back and compare, would be a really subtle Easter egg if that's the case
I feel like they should have kept keyleth using feeblemind cause it was such a good comeback to raishan who is known for being an intelligent dragon and somewhat “all knowing”.
It is rather specific though, non dnd fans probably dont know what feeblemind is, and unless it would have had more foreshadowing or explanation, it would have seem to have come from nowhere.
I’d say it was done better in LOVM because… Keyleth legit beat Raishan at her own game. She outwitted… or rather, she _deceived the Deceiver,_ got her to lower her guard, and ensured she couldn’t escape her fate. She let herself get “killed” on purpose, all so she could take those ashes, absorb the disease from them, and bring it right back to its intended carrier. Raishan mocked Keyleth for letting her guard down the ONE TIME she doubted her distrust of her… and that came back to haunt her.
This is why Keyleth is my favorite character in VM. She's insanely powerful, and when she believes in herself, she is unstoppable. I admit, I do miss the Feeblemind, and it would've looked awesome to see animated, but the show made a really compelling narrative...and it worked!
I'm convinced keyleth is gonna feeblemind something in show. they introduced that lobotomy crown to the show when execution would've served the same purpose narratively, and it would make sense for keyleth to learn to feeblemind from that
Seems like a bit of a reach, if she had learned something so specific after that it would have been hinted at somehow. Think they just wrote it out wholly due to how relatively harder it is to represent in animation cinematically
@@crystallxix1493 I don't think she has learned it, I think she will. I can understand it'd be hard to represent against a dragon, but if it's against someone who is only a spellcaster and doesn't really have other ways to fight (like Delilah), it becomes a lot more clear
@cobaltbeau Seems like a weird addition, especially when already she has a clear power up path to follow through her Aramente. It's possible ofc but it really does sound like more trouble than it is worth. Keep in mind that they have a very limited amount of screen time and something like that would have to be foreshadowed and developed properly (especially if it gets used to defeat Delilah)
In a 3.5 game, we were playing the revised Isle of Dread, with a major plot of a pirate attack with zombie gas pearls attacking the main town on the isle (its a thing). After sinking two of the three boats attacking with control water, the last boat with the big bad lands with demons and pirates and it becomes a nasty slog with almost everything dying. The big-bad pirate captain demon goes to use the zombie gas pearl, and the cleric gets off a feeblemind to break him so he can't use objects. It falls from his hand and he gets ganked without being able to use his last spells or items. Feeblemind is a clutch spell. I don't know how it is in 5E; if they've moved it to 8th level most people won't ever experience it.
Keyleth's feeble mind cast is absolutely a top 5 clutch spells in CR history
Dude, you are working overtime for these. I am so loving your "from table to screen" vids. So nice to see where they came from.
More to come!
right? and this one would be so hard to pace from all the differences. great work!
I remember the hype Merisha had was palpable. I think I stood clapping

These may be 6 great voice actors But that was not acting. She literally fell out of her chair!! From just emotion
Taliesin hugging Marisha, Laura covering her mouth. There showing real emotions while playing this game.

The moment the Ashari said they gave Raishan her disease, I had to pause for a minute cuz I realized that’s how they were gonna do the Feeblemind
if she was already feeblemind she wouldnt done half the shit she did in the show.

@adamushu yeah, I agree. I don't think there was a consise way to translate it into a visual medium without it feeling clunky and awkward

Yess I love this!
That was a beautiful moment; one of many, in that campaign. Did that just work? Hell yeah.
So essentially nothing like what happened on the screen

I am so excited to see the table to the actual stream side by side
I totally forgot the “I have all these spells that I can’t use now.”
“That’s karma for trying to kill Pike when she’s not here!” THATS RIGHT LAURA
Yet another awesome table-to-screen, mate! Much love to you, fellow Critter, for keeping this going! ❤
Thanks, will do!
Is that Patrick Rothfuss?
Yup. He was a guest character on this episode.
He seems like a really nice guy to hang with and play DnD. He is totally in the moment
Rothfuss was Kerrek, a paladin.
Always good to have some help when fighting evil dragons. 🐉
DRUID DOWN‼️‼️

Unfortunately, that Patrick Rothfuss bullshit doesn't work on Mercer like it does on Perkins. Fortunately, he didn't need it this time.
Is there a Chandelier in the room?
Do wonder what kind of disease was infected her in the serie
Wasn't Reshan a zombie dragon? Not a Draco lich... far beyond things with this dragon...
What's the difference?
