I think that was very in character for Grog. Matt plays their characters pretty well. Another example is Matt's Pike with the very long "I-i-iiii..." when she started her sentence, which is a thing Ashley does a lot.
It's one of those, "Tell me you know your friends extremely well, without telling me you know them extremely well" *proceeds to play as your friends' previous d&d characters perfectly*
I absolutely adore the subtle joke Matt made about the Croissant shape and only Marisha laughed at first. The only person to understand his humor right away was his wife, its adorable
Oh God Braius said 12 because of Sam's bit about how Braius has 3 fingers on each hand so he counts in things divisible by 6. Or I'm overthinking this. Either way, glorious.
the way matt-as-pike does ashley mannerisms SO WELL brings such joy to my heart. the way he says "...you went to. the. moon?" with the facial expression and the shoulder and the pitch-up was literally perfect, i adore how obvious it is that he adores them and their characters with these cameos+call-backs
It's so beautiful when Brius mentions arm wrestle in front of Grog, Travis visibly gets excited almost like he is in character at the same time Matt delivers perfectly that excitement in game. See 7:21 for that perfect moment.
Kinda sad when you realize that the next time they’re seeing Pike it’s when FCG is dead 🥺 I believe last time they met Pike was when they were reviving Laudna
I’d say maybe a little of both? Sam is currently recovering being treated for a form of throat cancer, and he said he essentially had to relearn how to speak.
I also think it's an absolute treat for the players. You level a character up to world-saving hero and then get to come back around and see how they're still a part of the world. You can see their eyes just light up when Matt drops a VM or MN cameo.
"Give me 10 minutes."
"I'll give you 12."
*literally hear the gears turn in Grog's head* 😂
*Grog.exe has stopped working*

And when he went “okokok” as Pike and the entire table started giggling

@@tiaravasquez9152 Yeah. They also played those characters for years, even before the show started, so they knew the characters extremely well.
I love how Travis makes chetney a fan girl over Grog
Sam did the same with tary and scalan
I love that Ashley keeps the Stonejaw mistake alive.
The fact that Grog(gery) flawlessly remembers his title means something😂
That Intelligence of 6 does allow him to remember a few important things.
@@Nauibotic Apparently in their last Taldorei book, Grog have a whopping intelligence of 8 and can even read (with difficulty).
He has an intelligence of 8 now, I think he knows what he's doing!
The fact that Travis reacted exactly the way Matt RP'd Grogg's response to an arm wrestle just shows how well they know each other. Precious :)
Chet: "He (Dorian)'s extremely valuable."
Says a lot about Chetney's character growth considering his and Dorian's first interactions.
look how proud Travis looks
I absolutely adore the subtle joke Matt made about the Croissant shape and only Marisha laughed at first. The only person to understand his humor right away was his wife, its adorable
I don't get it.
@@krennopher1269both the moon and croissants are crescent shaped
we call them medialunas (half moons) here in argentina so i caught that immediately lmao
Canonically Grog is 8 feet 7 inches tall, so he just put on the helmet to one-up Braius even more 😂
Oh God Braius said 12 because of Sam's bit about how Braius has 3 fingers on each hand so he counts in things divisible by 6. Or I'm overthinking this. Either way, glorious.
Yea I think you’re right!
Oh, wait, you're right, I didn't realise that, you're smart 😮😂
It’s definitely the divisible by six but I’m fairly certain the fingers part is a coincidence because it’s for the number 666
@@royalrosepetal I mean, if you orient Asmodeus' symbol a certain way, it matches with Braius' head shape and horns.
Good to see Grog's Tutoring lessons actually paid off.
Travis "I believe him"

Matt had Grog go to 5 INT where D&D usually grants mental bonuses with age lol
OUR BEST BOY IS BACK, BABY!!!
Orym saying Dorian is part of Bells Hells without missing a beat is chef’s kiss.
Travis' JOY watching Matt be Grog is phenomenal.
Agh, this episode was so much of what I’ve been wanting. Robbie is back full force, Grog and Pike, plot is hitting end game
the pure joy radiating from Travis is my favorite, he has waited so long!
I love how bag Travis wants to play Grog again.
You never forget your first, right?
You can tell Matt brought Grog back just for Travis 😂
It's so beautiful when Brius mentions arm wrestle in front of Grog, Travis visibly gets excited almost like he is in character at the same time Matt delivers perfectly that excitement in game. See 7:21 for that perfect moment.
the fact that Marisha is the first one to laugh out loud at the croissant joke is peak "couple goals" energy
"GROGGERY"!? I love it!!
It’s so good to see vox machina around, warms my heart to see the buddies and grog still being grog
"Whats Grog, 6'8 6'10? For anyone wondering Grog is 8'7 so he TOWERS over Braius who's 6'4 (without the horns)
I have to admire Fearne's dedication to not only attempt to seduce the members of her own party, but the previous party members as well.
Also steal from them.
I love Ashley's in joke with Stonejaw
That was so brilliant on Matts Part. Travis is so happy!
Cant wait for the fan animators to get to work on this one. 😆
My neighbor only knows the Prime series. Showing them this is a joy!
I love him, your honor
Does Groggery Strongjaw have a beard?
Kinda sad when you realize that the next time they’re seeing Pike it’s when FCG is dead 🥺 I believe last time they met Pike was when they were reviving Laudna
Grog is a master blacksmith right?
grog is 8foot7 but sure
Where is Scanlan tho
Right? I hope we get to see him next episode, he's my favourite
I have a sneaking suspicion Scanlan is on infiltration duty…
There will be a three set teams and a number of episodes that they will reprise their old characters.
VM
MN
BH
@@rotsenmerecido5334 I am so fucking excited for that! It's amazing that Exandria has grown to the point where this is an option
6:55-6:58 What does Grog say?
I believe he says “not so big now are you”
I haven't been keeping up wiht Sam is that just his voice now? Or have I just never heard him do a deep voice before?
I’d say maybe a little of both? Sam is currently recovering being treated for a form of throat cancer, and he said he essentially had to relearn how to speak.
@@randmperson2 Yeah, 50-50. Met the man again over the weekend. Actually, I pretty much met or re-met all of them save Ashley over the weekend.
🥐
I like Mat as DM but don't like the fact he constantly have to bring back old characters to keep this campaign going.
I think you have it misconstrued why he brings them back.
I also think it's an absolute treat for the players. You level a character up to world-saving hero and then get to come back around and see how they're still a part of the world. You can see their eyes just light up when Matt drops a VM or MN cameo.
