If you enjoyed this, and know some other moment from the show you'd like to see drawn, write it down here, I might pick some c:
Cary Atherton can you do the scene in hipper Duke when Molly and jester come to the aid of rissa and fuck with the two gnome bullys
Kiri's good bye ;-;
The hospital scenario.
"Will you hold me through the show?"
How about the next time they run into the bandits, don’t know what the scene would be called.
"Everyone's fine"
Cut to Caleb lying a pool of his own blood.
that moment killed me to death omg
@@lafken2 take them out take them out! LoL
Again, Caleb lying in a puddle of his own blood "again"
Nott: "He's very fragile"
Meh, Beau caught one of the bolts, he's fine :D
Molly using his tail to hold things is honestly everything I could've wanted.
I know!! I play a tiefling in my home campaign and I find myself trying to remember that I have an extra extremity I can use to hold things!
My character, lawrence, has used it to slap people. It doesn't actually hurt, but if he's in a situation where he does it, theres a garuntee that the person already hates him and BOY HOWDY does it piss them off.
Teiflings are fucking awesome. Lawrence's main weapon is his vio-lent, a metal violin. Use heat metal on that bad boy, and it packs one HELL of a punch.
Also. Hellish rebuke. Can we talk about that? I've used it on several occasions as literally the most violent startle response ever (he's had 3 actual death experiences involving enemies attacking from above, even if you're just really tall, he's not taking ANY chances)
Not to mention the ability to escape into fire, as long as you dont wait till you're at critical hp
@@bowtiemouse the saddest part being that the phb actually classifies the tails as non-prehensile, meaning unable to grab stuff. But I feel like that is one of those things that should be ignored for the sake of coolness and fun, as long as you don't draw any mechanical advantages from it
My tabaxi rogue (not a furry I swear) uses his tail to hold a knife, and my DM even lets me use it as a weapon
it's so adorable, I love it!
I love how Molly always has this air of chaotic energy and yet is probably the most moral one of the group before Caduceus
Being the most moral one of this particular group was not a high bar to clear :P But yes I love Molly. He was the best of them.
Caduceus was, of course, also that, but man. So much potential.
Missed my favorite line of the whole encounter " Do not criticize new management till it has time to take full effect!" swear I'm using that if I ever get another management position
Edit holy halibut 4 years later 1.8k ❤️much love critters
Considering they ran into them again, the manegement were right to be criticized.
@@JutlandAngel Yes, but only after it had had time to take effect...
@@JutlandAngel to be fair, they did stop as soon as new management realized who they were attacking was "the guys who ashed Trevor"
.....That line was weirdly prescient for someone else.
When you're an impoverished lad from the sticks, you think sticking up a group of travellers will be an easy way to earn some money, then all of a sudden the head of the gang disappears in a cloud of carbonised dust, one of your teammates gets belted out of nowhere by a giant floating lollipop, and a teifling with a huge spiked glaive and a very threatening level of sexual energy says he might give you a bath, that's probably a bit more than the lad can handle.
"A very threatening level of sexuality" lmfao
@@theaeon we all know Molly fucked lol
Didn't the lollipop launch Trevor into the air before he was cremated?
Imagine if these guys showed up a third time and helped the party deal with Lorenzo shouting "this is for the purple guy!"
"How the hell did these guys defeat us?!"
"NEW MANAGEMENT HAS TAKEN FULL EFFECT"
Who is coming from what?
weeeell
@@Eidenhoek if only the past knew what was coming
@@matthewletexier and with thi weeks episode (a little earlier if you watch on twitch) that again is kind of interstingly true
"We were barely paying attention!"
Easily one of Molly's best moments.
"You were barely paying attention"
Let's not dash aspirations of new management it's been two days.
"Everyone's fine"
"Yeah 👍"
God that got me good lol press f for Caleb

I love Caddy, but gods do I miss Molly.
Mm, this aged well.
Problem solved.
@@dndknower yay
@@dndknower ... But we don't get to see the hijinks anymore.
@@trishapellis this is two years old, dang. Anyways, that's the point. Nothing lasts forever :(
Things I love:
- "I've never drawn Fjord plz help" and the fact that Fjord has a name tag.
- Caleb lying in a pool of his own blood.
- Molly holding the weapon with his tail at one point and transferring it back to his hands.
I had to watch and re-watch it several times. This was fantastic. :)
Not only is it a nametag, it's also a reference to the vehicle brand...
"Are you going to bathe me?"
Molly: *grins* Maybe...
This is the moment that cemented Molly as my favorite of the Nein. They're all amazing, but he is such a good dude. He doesn't care those people just tried to rob them, he saw them for what they were, poor peasants who had no real other choice to turn onto thievery on the Amber Road if they wanted to survive. He knew that (despite Caleb being down) the group would be able to squash them in two rounds so he decided to give them a life lesson and had a gold coin as a bonus.
Mollymauk Tealeaf lives for the present and the present only, and if you're willing to help yourself, he'll be there for you.
I still remember watching Matt avoid playing Boulder Parchment Shears with himself.
He actually rolled dice to pick randomly from two unnamed npc's, lol.
I see a lot of Mollymauk videos that mourn his death, but all too few that celebrate his life. Thanks for this.
Cut to later in the campaign and they find that the new (former) bandit leader has found his true calling as a cleric, and has leveled-up so quickly he can perform True Resurrection for them.
All he demands in return is their pants, and he gives Molly a gold piece on his way out.
Molly is delighted with this transaction.
...
... *_I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I?!_*
How's that dream working out for you?
@@MisfitSass *_Oof._*
@@MisfitSass well your name fits
That dream died pretty hard
@@woodywoodmc2209
I mean...
Molly: Aight here's the deal. Everyone's fine?
Beu: Yeah! *Thumbs up*
Caleb: *silently bleeds out of his fresh arrows wounds on the ground*
"You're going to bathe me?"
*Sinister look*
"Maybeeee~"
*small wimper from bandit*
God I love critical role xD
I would've bathed them all of them one at a time and take my time with it as punishment slow degrading with everyone watching
ALLBLAZING 1 keep your kinks to yourself, sir. This is not porn hub or deviantART
@@violetpencil9614 you forgot Tumblr in that and I use xvideos love 😉 but I suppose I can keep PG for now
@@violetpencil9614 it just occurred to me that they shot Caleb about 4 times so yeah" scrubbing the bandits with a long scrub brush"
Defacto leader: um are you putting this on the internet
Me: xvideos and this is what you get for shooting Caleb I fucking love him now face the wall
Defacto leader: do you have to be naked too
Me: are you uncomfortable
Defacto leader: yes very much so
Me: then good now it's time to get the front
Defacto leader: can go the way Trevor did
Caleb: SUFFER!
P.s I lied about the PG
ALLBLAZING 1 You sir are a very kinky man and I believe I have no power to stop you. In fact I believe I accidentally encouraged you
As much as I love Caduceus, a lot of my favorite scenes are directly tied to Mollymauk.
I'm just gonna put this out here, I love the way you incorporated Molly's tail. It's just one of those great attention to detail things that makes this great!
MOLLY!!! **gross sobbing**
I just saw that episode it hurts so baaaad
Man I'm going to miss Molly
carlos salazar im just really, really really hoping they somehow resurrect him ;-;
Cary Atherton: If they do he might be mind wiped again...
That's the only way I wouldn't be upset. Molly is great and all but if death is meaningless, how will they ever learn not to attack a group that out numbers them with 3 of their own out of commission and another on free captives duty. They didn't have a chance.
Zear To be fair, Molly is the ONLY pc who has died more than once so the precedent is there.
JND true but it’s a pretty sad assumption that Molly’s backstory had more than just him dying and coming back. Chances are he died from something other than a stab through the heart last time
I only just noticed now that when Fjord suggests a bath, he's not faking his accent. He's talking like he did in his dream.
Buddhabright Sounds a little like Thor to me (because of reasons). We still don't have enough details on his background to know why he'd hide his real accent. That or Travis purposely used a voice that sounded like Grog, I understand he voiced the character for quite some time.
True. It's too weird for him to change the accent for a dream sequence - he wouldn't be faking it then, of all times.
Return of Grog voice!
He slipped back into his Grog voice for a moment haha
I just realized that when Fjord says "Bath" his accent slips
*Spoilers*
Molly was the greatest character
I'm sure gonna miss him
Inkboy ! I certainly do.
Re-watchin now and realising that molly missed the name of the BPS (game that everyone knows) beacuse he only remember things from like 3 years ago and a lot of stuff still very new to him its an awesome detail
*cough* also Taliesin forgot
but that would be an awesome in-game touch!
1:02 Not sure if Travis slipped into his Grog accent or if it was Fjord letting his accent show for a moment...
Did you notice that Fjord is wearing a Ford tag
This has become one of my favorite animations. I remember watching this live and giggling but this emulates exactly what I saw in my head and I love how Molly used his tail to hold the weapon when handing out the gold pieces.
Molly was the best character of the bunch. Feels bad to have such amazing story potential slip through our fingers. Damn it, guys. Why would you leave your plot armor at home?
Joshua Genal im ok with his death it will make all the other characters better people, as mollt was the best of them, always looking for the small man or the needed and sharing coin with everyone
FUCKING SPOILERS GOD
honestly I'm looking forward to what Mercer can get out of this. Molly's backstory makes it clear that death isn't really the end. Who knows, maybe 50 episodes down the line we'll see some entirely new person in Molly's body, just walking around.
Molly and Jester are my absolute favorite of the bunch. Jester is definitely not really named jester, someone said she calls herself that to make people happy. She's incredibly naive and mischievous at the same time. It's sort of adorable. She's developed a lot since the beginning. And, Molly, he was... Interesting. I liked him.
I don't know if Jeffe wants to bring him back. Mr. Clay used a decompose cantrip on him, and Jaffe said he did it as a sort of peace of mind thing. I'm surprised his necklace didn't stablisie him though.
It's in his character to come back, we just don't know where he came back.
This is fucking great, man! I especially love Molly just casually holding his weapon with his tail like he does it all the time
Moments like this are why Molly is my favorite and always will be. Long may he reign.
I REALLY wish Molly didn't die we needed more of these moments.
I'm gonna miss Molly....
"Everyone's fine"
"yeah"
Except Caleb it seems
I loved it! Also, I’ve never seen anyone draw Beau’s hair that long, and it looks beautiful that way! Great timing and well done all around!
Caleb laying on the ground dying is hilarious
Man i miss Molly. Love Mr. Clay though. Miss molly though.
Draw the second encounter with them! :D
I really want the bandits to show up again in another dozen episodes. "OH not again.... hey, wait... Where's the purple guy? He was the one who was always nice to us...."
Caleb: He's gone and unless you know a someone who can bring dead back to life in the next 10 seconds you will be joining Trevor.
@@tigergamer998 ouch. Stone cold.
I love how he was holding the weapon with his tail at the end it was adorable
long may he reign
Omg Trevors turned to ashes.
He sounds so sad. I've never felt pity for a bandit but this one I would give him a hug
"Are you going to bathe me??"
"Maybe~"
Your artwork is amazing, it looks simple to my not artist eyes, but it's really expressive and all of them look very different and easy to differentiate, and all of the faces are so on point (and I especially love Molly's tail twitching and the cut to Caleb bleeding omg I died)
Thank you for this
This was really good! I love the expressions and the designs of all characters in this. Molly shoving Beau's face was the best to me.
“Are you going to Bathe me?”
Molly: “maybe...”
the puple man, that allways left things better than he found them.
I love it when talented artists like yourself capture these Critical Moments in these animated sketch vids.
There will never be someone else like Molly... it's saddening
I mean...
Kingsley...
Anyone?
@@alexandertiberius1098 I want to ask "who?", but I don't think I actually want to know.
Did you not get to the end of the campaign?
@@alexandertiberius1098 Not yet.
Then I'll say no more.
Long may He reign.
Molly saying: "Would you agree previous leadership of this group has probably failed you on some level?" While said leader is a pile of ash is such an absurdly hilarious scenario.
“You’re gonna bathe me?”
*softly* “Maybe...”
"Do agree the previous leadership of this group has probably failed you on some level?"
I love how much it forshadows
This video creeps its way into my recommended videos at least once a month and I watch it every time. Seriously, fantastic job with this! Every part of this!
This is freaking amazing dude!!!
ahhhhh
the red eye on his hand on the snake tattoo be hittin different
The fact they teach bandits to change their ways and THEN BECOME PIRATES is beautifully ironic.
Their moral compass, Mollymauk Tealeaf, died. Of course they fell.
God this scene is the best possible thing!! Molly was the shit!!
Shine bright circus man. Long may he reign.
Rip Molly mock press f for paying respects
I am Embermane f

I am Embermane f #eyesnevershut
F for fuck the bastard who killed molly
this was amazing beyond words
As not a big Molly fan even I can appreciate how delightful this is, Talesin really had his moments with this little purple gremlin.
gods I love Molly. hope nothing bad happens to him
1:06
everyone's fine. everyone is completely fine.
And several episodes later it turns out all they learned is: Don't steal from the MIghty Nein.
Just more Molly leaving things better than he found them.
Ohhhh.
I just realized a big weakness with Molly that I never thought about because blood hunter was something that I just assumed used charisma.
Blood hunter is wisdom.
Molly was a split stat char. Everyone had that over them.
Caleb's recent "and you will be fine because you are traveling with two very powerful healers that will come over and heal you now" thoughts while fighting Lorenzo
He always leaves every place better than when he found it
As much as I love and miss Molly, the Nein very much needed a therapist
Awww, Molly. How many more of these could we have had.
God I love Mollymauk... shine bright you circus star
Man, Mollymauk content hits different these days
This is one of the reasons why Molly will always be my favorite (other than Caleb)
caleb on the ground produced the best wheeze laugh ever out of me, i folded
I like to think spirit Molly pops in every now and then like "Alright, how are my family doing?" and sees stupid shit like them accidentally stealing a boat. If a ghost could piss themselves laughing it's definitely happened by now.
Molly really was a good guy.
I'm reminded of secondhand lions and Hubs McCann's "what every boy needs to know about being a man speech."
andythepanhead YESSS!
I miss Molly. Come back to us!
I do think the bandits were naked at this point (but for obvious reasons, they can't be drawn like that) but it makes the question "would you agree that the previous leadership of this group has probably failed you on some level?" hilarious.
I’d say God bless Molly but he basically is one anyway.
Caleb being on the ground, stuck full of arrows caught me off guard. 🤣🤣
Just finished this episode last night and this is spot on beautiful and perfect. Beau coming in with the "...well YOU were barely paying attention-" was so good and you animated it excellently to a T. One of my favorite moments, only followed up by them only giving a single silver piece to the beggar's child before they entered Zadash. One gold each for bandits that would have killed them would they have had the stones to do it, but only a silver piece for a beggars child so that no more beggars children come running to their cart before they get into town.
If I was DMing and they gave a gold piece, they would have had a "popularity" problem on their hands lol but it's also funny to imagine that their morals are so misaligned with reality that giving one gold coin apiece to some stupid bandits who lost their leader and telling them to go on their way and do good from now is a good deed, but that only giving a silver piece to a mud soaked child of a single mother living on the outskirts of town in pure squalor only makes sense because all it really means is that this group truly doesn't know what the hell it's doing.
And that's with the exact same brains behind Vox Machina with them. Circumstance is everything, ja?
Actually it makes sort of sense. A gold will get you some new pants, a hot meal and a good bath... All worthy pursuits. A silver would not. Vise versa a gold for a beggar child would have the poor sap robbed blind in seconds.
omfg the 'ford' emblem on Fjord's cape thingy
This is great! You need to tweet this to Tal!
Long may he rain
I loved this! :D
"Now for this you promise that your terrible bandit days are over, 'cuz you're really not very good at this."
The bandit stared at the gold coin in his hand and contemplated his life choices. The stranger was right. They simply weren't good at being bandits. It was time to stop being terrible. They would use these gold coins to invest in some proper armor and weapons training-- then and there, he resolved that from now on his group would be the *best*
Even bandits can be swayed with the right persuasion checks!
its too soon.
Matthew Newlin i originally started it to cheer myself up after ep 25 c':
imagine molly if he was alive for the mist/mistake situation. imagine him questioning marius.
I remember watching this scene the first time, I was at work so I couldn't actually laugh out loud but I really wanted to. Thank you for the wonderful animation, loved the splashes of color, fine work all around.
Just how,are we supposed to get on without this character?
*Rewatching this and realizing that Fjord slips out of his accent here*
.
.
.
*Mind blown*
Awwww man I miss Molly so much...he brought so much happiness and life to the gang
I cried again.
I miss Mollymauk.
Hey, I think you did a great job drawing Fjord! And the entire animation as a whole is super fun.
Can’t wait till you do the second encounter they had with these bandits.
Oh god the cut over to Caleb when they said everyone was okay got actual laughter out of me
Are you gonna bathe me?
Mayybeeee
