I love when the high rollers go in detail about what they're thinking and how their character thinks about a situation. Gives alot of insight into their characters mindset and they mindset they are trying to roleplay
Every time Tyria speaks about her past and how she feels it makes me sob. Amazing story telling by Mark, so emotional. I hope Tyria gets what she deserves and needs
I know I’m behind but I’m also worried about if she becomes a banshee then she could end up hurting a lot of people… she said she’s mad at the guards and she seems unaware that her husband probably became possessed and maybe freaked out and left… it’s all so sad ;-;
I’ve been rewatching Lightfall in between episodes of Altheya because I just can’t get enough! And I really enjoy Cam Buckland and Rowan are completely different characters with different personalities you can still see that bit of Trott in them both😂
Thank you everyone really enjoying the campaign. As a suggestion of a symbol for Osseus, a skeleton to represent the House of Bone, with a chain around 1 ankle for House of Shadows, a Bandage on the other leg for house of Shrouds, 1 bat wing for House of Blood, 1 insect wing for House of Rot, and the skull has a crown to represent the Grave Father. Hope this helps spark some ideas and keep up the amazing and fun work.
I highly recommend watching the VOD of this episode if possible, simply to watch the donations and witness their reaction to Fart Shartly. I don't think Mark has ever lost it that hard.
The background soundtrack you guys have been using is so great! Also beautiful map! Love all the little details in your production, it makes the watching/listening experience so much better 💖💖💖
Watching the reborn part I wonder if Xantheus has the reborn soul of the big evil gold dragon(forgot their name) and that why he is able to withstand the lethal effects of crown steel
The discussion about RPing religion was very real for me. I have not been able to properly play a religious character yet because I cannot imagine being someone who would just believe without proof so I end up either playing it as naive and brainwashed or believing that the gods of DND are just very powerful magical beings that need to be placated and feared because they have POWER but they don't deserve worship. Although I don't really believe anything even a real deity deserves "worship" maybe "service" but why, because you would get something out of it in the end.
Don't get me wrong, I still like Critical Role, but that religious discussion at the end did a lot to tip the balance on who is my favorite. Much more complex, deeper, and actually philosophical than a "Fuck the gods because it's cool to despise them."
Talking at 34:50, Rowan and Xantheus were definitely there in time to see the whole thing when Gruff got knighted in the last show. Rowan had already found and used the bathroom and grabbed Xantheus on the way back. No need to change it to be sadly dramatic just because..
@@bessieburnet9816 Her 'at rest and comfort' was the second point they brought up only when Ophelia never backed down about this being a choice. Their first was they were scared she'd be strong and powerful. They only stopped trying to talk back about it when she said comfort and forgetting who SHE is and what happened to her is what she deems the worst thing to happen to her and that just having it all happen again is a fear. (Not saying the party shouldn't have debated it btw, just that their first instinct wasn't 'put her to rest for peace', it was to stop her anger. But I liked watching how they all considered 'oh she's got a very good point and has thought about this' and it showed the downsides to their belief system.)
@@edholmes8726ghosts don't have the power to decide though. they are beings of hatred and rage manifest, not a conscious thinking person. rational thought isn't possible for a being made of rage
Clearly the best choice is for Tyria to be left alone in a rage induced coma for an undisclosed amount of time until the party eventually maybe get around to killing her husband 😂 (I agree House of Shadows was the best choice!)
ANTI SPOILER BARRIER
THANK YOU SPOILER BIRB
Good birb
Birb for president 2024
Praise be to birb
To the top
I love "bleed me dry" as a House of Blood expression of frustration!
"Hello, my name is Gruffudd of Tremorrow. Knight Errant to the Order of the Loyal Hounds and Hero of Ashen Rest" sounds great imo!
I love when the high rollers go in detail about what they're thinking and how their character thinks about a situation. Gives alot of insight into their characters mindset and they mindset they are trying to roleplay
The whole Xantheus being drunk thing had me in stitches. The way it kept coming back. These guys are god tier at role playing
i like that after the episodes katie tweets a cute doodle and tom tweets the most horrific die i've ever seen

The Awoken be like: "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me."
I don't get the reference, but that's an awesome line.
Any 40k reference is a great sight 😂.
We've progressed from straight up jorkin, to borfing
I love the slang Tom brings to the table
Rowan: Destroyer of porcelain thrones
The storytelling is phenomenal! I can picture everything happening like I’m reading a book. I can’t get enough! ❤

Ser Griold aro icon!!! we stan!
Are we sure it isn't just Lucius in the woods? Multicolour, missing livestock??:D
Controversial but this is the best HR party yet, for this “season” Gruff is my favorite. He’s a real inspiration for dark times
You ever feel a feel. This made me feel a feel.
27:57 aro/ace Sir Greold let's go!
Ace representation for the bloody WIN 🖤🤍💜

Was expecting a "Oooooooooohhhh who lives in a Pineapple under the sea!"
Very true
Me too

Would they really have such a nationalist concept?
1:31:18 The lore for the Rustwale woods is so sick!!
I gotta say, it's kinda of cool how the usual D&D trope of the Dragon's Horde is translated into the opulent residences of the Dragon Nobles.

Hopefully that moment gets made into a Short. It was glorious.

Mark's Alan Wake impression killed me!
I would gladly lay down my life or die for Dame Cassandra. I already love her so much
FOR THE EMPRESS!!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!
FOR THE EMPRESS!!
I’m so sad I was just in the UK for the summer but the live show comes just months after 😭😭
i was like… why does this seem familiar. I FORGOT I WATCHED IT LIVE 💀

Sister brought back by God, I think she's a Saint now ❤
The Gravefather isn't a real god, though
Lol, gods of giants, the shiny pebbles in the night sky
I don’t know it, but I really hope Mark’s been reading Kingdoms and Warfare and Ophelia is setting up her own organisation.
🔖 2:41:00
Lmk when y’all come to ‘merica so I can show Tom a true ‘Merican accent.
SIR GRIOLD ACE REP!!!!!
Honestly, if i was Tyria, I would make her same choice

...have som wotah...❤
Tyria seems pretty decided… (sorry about spelling)
Anyone else think eldrack is emberisa's child
It has indeed crossed my mind
Xantheus x Obsidious 🛳️
BIG horn
I need Ophelia to start clapping back on these Catholic analogue dragon peasants.
Absolutely! I was fully expecting her to tell the group that it wasn’t their choice to make…
@@edholmes8726 The party have a right to make sure that this is what is truly beneficial for Tyreia and that she'll be safely at rest.
