Only a few minutes in but already on the floor 😂 poor Taishen, coming from literal utopia where nothing bad ever happens and there is Skrimm, telling him he has to kill everything fast so it doesn't kill him first. Poor boy has the biggest existential crisis 🤣
It makes his quote with the bear cubs even better when they were arguing about killing the cubs, killing the mom, that killing the mom kills the cubs so just kill the cubs now. ‘Why do all the options involve death of everything’
18:06 "don't you think he might be a little... Daunting?" *Loud gasp* 20:12 "I don't wanna shoot Skrimm" "DON'T KILL ME KILL THEM!!" 20:27 Taishen and Skrimm attempt to negotiate 35:29 "Miss March kill the one on the left" *aims for Skrimm* 37:00 Barnabos is bad at guessing games 40:00 Queenie's messed up flag idea 43:16 it's suggested Skrimm trade his tackle box 43:53 "I think Skrimm has a crush on Barnabos" 52:14 "Miss March if you're nasty " "*whisper* am I nasty?" 1:01:22 Derek rps fried calamari 1:11:16 Skrimm Stabbaskotch: art of the deal 1:25:30 Jornir needs opalescent feldspar 1:36:28 "you were going to shoot me" "only cause Barnabos said to!!!" 1:44:20 witches 1:51:54 skinning alive 1:52:58 "we are so inept our dungeon master is playing the heist mini game in chat" 2:21:51 "you know what type of whale that is" 2:24:03 Meepo 2:29:04 Barnabos and Skrimm fish a lot 3:10:00 "I put up the peace sign" "that's was a middle finger"
Nikki: "I don't really like Dreading Twists, i think dreads are already powerful, i dont really like the dueling twists, and I personally wouldn't do it in my campaigns" Me, who has watched her counter dread twists of fate numerous times in her own campaigns "oh yeah, no, for sure."
I know as much as I love critical role definitely found my new favorite D&D group I know like 90% of the references they're making they're always funny and just overall 10 out of 10 in quality, comedy, story, and action
Watching this after having gone through Witchlight and Stardust Rhapsody, I take it there is some unspoken rule that every campaign needs a character that can and will eat literal garbage
icebound is such a lovely campaign!! i'm kinda saddened by the lack of animated shorts from this campaign, though. even if icebound is the more serious one, it's still so so charming and there's been so many moments worth only on the first six episodes icebound is my first campaign of loa and i'm so in love with the story, the characters and derek's dming too. i've been watching the witchlight shorts for a while and i got motivated to start with one of the campaigns by skrimm's fishing short, since then icebound took me by storm (hehe, get it?) i'm really excited for what's next❤
I was expecting Barnabos to trade a fresh pike for some dried provisions. I'm thinking that armature thing is in that super creepy tower to the far south.
Nikkie’s approach to improv seems to be “I can no-but longer than you can” and she wins when the other person just says “okay fine what you’re saying is canon”
Nothing has even started and Nikkie is already messing with Andy😌 perfection 43:45 Queenie: *i know what you are* but ya I think she’s right. 48:40 is it bad that I joined in😃 And I know I’m like a year late but happy b-day Nikkie!! 1:05:03 Taishen’s voice is the best voice I have ever heard 1:21:51 Skrimm always has a question😑 1:29:26 me and Queenie have the same brain. 1:50:21 Taishen being upset is scarier than when i forget to do my homework 1:53:00 that’s Derek’s way of saying “Hurry the fuck up”🤣🤣 2:10:37 my thoughts actually Andy. 2:17:37 Skrimm’s paniced voice is so cute and I don’t understand why🥲 2:22:08 Oh noooo😭 I know what’s happening. Queenie whyyyyy 2:29:10 It’s canon now. 2:33:43 Derek is so damn confused🤣🤣 2:34:15 NO. UR JOKING. SAY SIKE. PLEASE 2:35:52 Omg. Taishen is gonna get corrupted by this damn group😭 2:46:32 Derek: Describing this plant* Andy:*trying to be very quiet(but fails)while opening a bag* Me:…why is this funny??🤣 2:47:23 WHOA! THATS SICK!!! 2:48:48 🤣 I love Queenie’s jokes, they always make me laugh when I feel sad! 2:51:56 Queeni: ITS BECOMING INCREASINGLY OBVIOUS, I CAN DENY IT NO LONGER…..I am small😃 2:59:59 Taishen cussin’ is my new favorite thing 3:04:18 even Andy admits he likes the ship of Skrimm and Barnabos🤣 3:04:55 Taishen:I am uncomfortable with the energy we have created here😃 3:05:02 Same energy as: MOOOOOOOM PLEASE HEEEEELP. 3:21:41 Skrimm is gonna get killed🤣
Coming from Uprooted and Witchlight, I gotta say - I absolutely adore this. Derek is a fantastic DM and I love all of these characters. Barnabos is dad. He tried so hard to teach his idiot feral turd son how to fish, and when he didn't catch anything Barnabos put a fish on his line to help him feel better. Peak dad behavior. Taishen is mom af. He worries about kobolds not wearing enough clothes in the ice and offers tea as a means to solve any issue (and it works a really surprising amount of the time). Jornir is the jaded funky pagan uncle who brings the most chill vibes but also Doesn't Quite Get The Joke But Goddamnit He's Trying™️. Queenie is grandma (she's not related to anyone by blood) and she not only always has candy but also gives the best hugs on the planet and adopts anything with a pulse as her grandchildren. Skrimm is the aforementioned idiot feral turd child and also anxiety (and chaos) made physical. He needs a hug right in the soul and to be safe and loved and well fed. Someone please give him a hug. *Torbek voice* he yearns for physical touch
Love how Derek worked in Jornir's rune reading from way back. I've been listening to you guys while I work on a costume project based on one of my D&D characters for Halloween, loving every second!
I love how Jornir is like the old man and has no interest in the shenanigans but also enjoys them as well. Also Taishen with the Kobolds was hilarious and i LOVE Andy's portrayal of Skrimm.
Afghanistan, Iran, Greece, and some parts of Italy consider the thumbs up as vulgar, but these days, American media's everywhere, so they'd probably not get too bent out of shape unless they're super old.
At 2:35:33, I imagined Jornir asking Queenie "What woud a cat do in ah fight to teh death? Put on ah oversized feathered hat, grab a saber, and jump into cute lit-al bewts?"
3:41:00 around here makes me sad for the young person, to get their vocal cords removed is a travesty, but to also potentially lose qny of your family is even worse.
I think it's the out of character jokes that adds to this. And I the actual visualization of the violence that makes VoX Machina harder to watch for me anyway
Taishen is just so innocent XD. He just doesnt understand half the stuff Queenie was trying to say but he was still happy
He's lived a very sheltered life, the sweet boy😅
He is a reptile *i think* so it makes sense he wouldn’t know about sperm
Taishen getting so angry about the fact that the kobolds were wearing shorts is the sweetest and funniest thing I’ve ever seen
Jornir chuckling at Taishens “ruined” joke was adorable.
1:43:00
You know ever since Skrimm and Barnabos started fishing, Barnabos hasn’t been talking to his lover in the shell 👀 Queenie might be onto something 🤣
Skrimm the homewrecker! Egad!
@@MagnaFaeSkrimm’s cute so that’s just understandable
HAHAHAHA
Tai Shen has mega mom energy- “you’re wearing shorts! No shoes! In the frozen wastelands! Have a cup of warming tea!”
I love the "Ms March if you're nasty!"
And then Barnabos asking "does that mean I'm nasty?" Every time... cracks me up 🤣
"I think yes!"
"I always thought I was quite respectful."
😂😂 the background chatter is so good
Skrimm is just Booker, but free of baby sitting duties. He has become baby and is able to be chaos incarnate without responcibiliy.
Booker is Skrimm's fursona, it has been said
Ice ice baby
🤣@@cloudykid7278
2:28:43 I watched the fishing segment over and over again, each time watching a different person's face as they die laughing.
Anybody: Does something
Barnabos: *Do you want a witch problem?!?* Coz _THAT_ is how you get a witch problem!!
Archer ants meme
And yet, uncrushed eggshells are the only think I can think about while watching EOM.
Only a few minutes in but already on the floor 😂 poor Taishen, coming from literal utopia where nothing bad ever happens and there is Skrimm, telling him he has to kill everything fast so it doesn't kill him first. Poor boy has the biggest existential crisis 🤣
It makes his quote with the bear cubs even better when they were arguing about killing the cubs, killing the mom, that killing the mom kills the cubs so just kill the cubs now.
‘Why do all the options involve death of everything’
I love how Nikkie has turned Skrimm fuckin off fishin into this whole romance conspiracy with Barnabos 😂
Taishen completely buying into it was amazing.
18:06 "don't you think he might be a little... Daunting?" *Loud gasp*
20:12 "I don't wanna shoot Skrimm" "DON'T KILL ME KILL THEM!!"
20:27 Taishen and Skrimm attempt to negotiate
35:29 "Miss March kill the one on the left" *aims for Skrimm*
37:00 Barnabos is bad at guessing games
40:00 Queenie's messed up flag idea
43:16 it's suggested Skrimm trade his tackle box
43:53 "I think Skrimm has a crush on Barnabos"
52:14 "Miss March if you're nasty " "*whisper* am I nasty?"
1:01:22 Derek rps fried calamari
1:11:16 Skrimm Stabbaskotch: art of the deal
1:25:30 Jornir needs opalescent feldspar
1:36:28 "you were going to shoot me" "only cause Barnabos said to!!!"
1:44:20 witches
1:51:54 skinning alive
1:52:58 "we are so inept our dungeon master is playing the heist mini game in chat"
2:21:51 "you know what type of whale that is"
2:24:03 Meepo
2:29:04 Barnabos and Skrimm fish a lot
3:10:00 "I put up the peace sign" "that's was a middle finger"
2:52:38 "I'd do it with a group" "gross"
Players ask for 16 Kobold names on the spot. Derek ready for it and has 16 names prepared. Love it!
Nikki: "I don't really like Dreading Twists, i think dreads are already powerful, i dont really like the dueling twists, and I personally wouldn't do it in my campaigns"
Me, who has watched her counter dread twists of fate numerous times in her own campaigns "oh yeah, no, for sure."
Derek's kobold voice is just perfection. Also secundus is giving me inquisitor from venture brothers. I wanted him to yell "ignore me" just once 😂
This show nearly knocks me on my butt with laughter every single time😂😂
We're so glad you're enjoying our brand of goofy!
I know as much as I love critical role definitely found my new favorite D&D group I know like 90% of the references they're making they're always funny and just overall 10 out of 10 in quality, comedy, story, and action
@@thefallenonelucifer6 agreed ! I recognize most pop culture références.
2:11:48… sucondus nuts-
Watching this after having gone through Witchlight and Stardust Rhapsody, I take it there is some unspoken rule that every campaign needs a character that can and will eat literal garbage
And 2/3 of those are Andy’s characters lol
1:52:11 I would make a LOVELY pair of shoes, thank you VERY much! -- Skrimm, 2022
Queenie: You know what sperm is?
Taishen: No? Is it from the sea?
God I'm dead😂😂
The emotional roller coaster of the ermine conversation verses what followed immediately after S E N T me
“you’ll see that it’s neither.” “well, because he pushes aside the ash and sees [REDACTED]”
honestly a good way to defuse the sadness :(((
Poor Taishen wants to be friendly, but his companions keep threatening everyone with violence.
I love Taishen's innocence, please may nothing hurt him
Oh my god, I really love the random convos Queenie and Barnabos have, really the highlight for me LOL
the ice ice baby part literally made me cry from laughter oh my god Derek was so confused
icebound is such a lovely campaign!! i'm kinda saddened by the lack of animated shorts from this campaign, though. even if icebound is the more serious one, it's still so so charming and there's been so many moments worth only on the first six episodes

i'm really excited for what's next❤
"Intelligence checks? 7, 5, 5? Good grief."
😂😂😂 That was way funnier than it should have been.
I was expecting Barnabos to trade a fresh pike for some dried provisions.
I'm thinking that armature thing is in that super creepy tower to the far south.
Me: *vibes to the intro song on full blast*
Derek: ITS THE 11TH DAY!!!!
One word for this one.... ouch 🤣
i love how mikey is able to play gricko: lover of monsters, and barnabos: slayer of monsters. the versatility he has is remarkable
And Chuckles: Bane of Gideon
And Jericho, the prison of monsters
Poor taishen is slowly being corrupted by the party
32:25 Taishen politely angers about the shorts
I just realized who Skrimm reminded me of! Rizzo the rat from the Muppets!!! Specifically from the Muppets Christmas carol
Outrageous isn't a slender dragon man carrying a dead carribou, it's a rabbit girl carrying a dead carribou.
Nikkie’s approach to improv seems to be “I can no-but longer than you can” and she wins when the other person just says “okay fine what you’re saying is canon”
If anyone's here from Flordellums's short the audio starts at 2:29:02. Hope this helps!
1:38:40 Hoary Boulder.
The kind of guy to hang out with someone named Coultenet.
Nothing has even started and Nikkie is already messing with Andy😌 perfection
43:45 Queenie: *i know what you are* but ya I think she’s right.
48:40 is it bad that I joined in😃
And I know I’m like a year late but happy b-day Nikkie!!
1:05:03 Taishen’s voice is the best voice I have ever heard
1:21:51 Skrimm always has a question😑
1:29:26 me and Queenie have the same brain.
1:50:21 Taishen being upset is scarier than when i forget to do my homework
1:53:00 that’s Derek’s way of saying “Hurry the fuck up”🤣🤣
2:10:37 my thoughts actually Andy.
2:17:37 Skrimm’s paniced voice is so cute and I don’t understand why🥲
2:22:08 Oh noooo😭 I know what’s happening. Queenie whyyyyy
2:29:10 It’s canon now.
2:33:43 Derek is so damn confused🤣🤣
2:34:15 NO. UR JOKING. SAY SIKE. PLEASE
2:35:52 Omg. Taishen is gonna get corrupted by this damn group😭
2:46:32 Derek: Describing this plant* Andy:*trying to be very quiet(but fails)while opening a bag* Me:…why is this funny??🤣
2:47:23 WHOA! THATS SICK!!!
2:48:48 🤣 I love Queenie’s jokes, they always make me laugh when I feel sad!
2:51:56 Queeni: ITS BECOMING INCREASINGLY OBVIOUS, I CAN DENY IT NO LONGER…..I am small😃
2:59:59 Taishen cussin’ is my new favorite thing
3:04:18 even Andy admits he likes the ship of Skrimm and Barnabos🤣
3:04:55 Taishen:I am uncomfortable with the energy we have created here😃
3:05:02 Same energy as: MOOOOOOOM PLEASE HEEEEELP.
3:21:41 Skrimm is gonna get killed🤣
Coming from Uprooted and Witchlight, I gotta say - I absolutely adore this. Derek is a fantastic DM and I love all of these characters.
Barnabos is dad. He tried so hard to teach his idiot feral turd son how to fish, and when he didn't catch anything Barnabos put a fish on his line to help him feel better. Peak dad behavior.

Queenie is grandma (she's not related to anyone by blood) and she not only always has candy but also gives the best hugs on the planet and adopts anything with a pulse as her grandchildren.
Skrimm is the aforementioned idiot feral turd child and also anxiety (and chaos) made physical. He needs a hug right in the soul and to be safe and loved and well fed. Someone please give him a hug. *Torbek voice* he yearns for physical touch
Damn it Nikkie. We Ice Ice Baby'd at the same time.
I fucking love Nikkis character xD "he tugged my tail I didn't mean to break up a family" xD
I love you guys. Best RP I've ever seen. So much fun.
48:38 LOL that little music change was rad
I can't believe they didn't turn the cabin boys smoking barnabos' pipe into a joke 😂
1:06:20
Her name was Feista and she was ginger and the BEST of the crew! She was the Boson’s cat. 😿
The one non-canon thing in this campaign so far that I've kept Cannon in my head is barnabos' slim Jim sized nipples
Along with the fact that they are North facing
"Ancient Estuary" 😹
As Marylanders, we have an obligation to shoehorn Old Bay into our fantasy D&D world.
@@LegendsofAvantris Fellow Marylanders!
Ohhh! Fellow Marylanders! :o
the "am i nasty?" "does that mean i'm nasty?" at queenie's introduction will always be my favorite bit 😂😂
Wait wait is Derek using actual ASL or ESL? That is so freaking awesome!
It's neither (from what I can tell. I can say that it's at least not ASL)! Regardless of whether it's ASL or ESL I also agree that it's really cool.
knock knock, citizens of dracar
whos there
secundis
secundis who
secundis nut
Holy sht what an awesome episode this was, my jaw is on the floor! Great work 💚
Taishen and Queenie share a braincell, don't they?
Innocence and the lack of innocence, bar those they're about the same person yeah
"Holy hells you found a person!" -- Skrim going full introvert.
1:52:44 Taishen's little ," 😟what?" Broke my heart, protect him at all costs😭
Love how Derek worked in Jornir's rune reading from way back. I've been listening to you guys while I work on a costume project based on one of my D&D characters for Halloween, loving every second!
41:00 Queenie wants to "Raise A Black Flag" you heard it here first friends.
And my god the device!
Queenie: Theres about 200 in the swarm
beekeepers of 30,000 in one hive: 😐🤨🤔
Large magic bees
bestie im sorry to tell you but unless that hive is absolutely massive, theres no way to have that many bees in one hive
barnabos x skrimm: new otp 🥰
real note though that fishing bit was CRAZYYY i love y’all’s humour 😭😭
2:30:20 someone help the twins theyre dying 😂
2:30:15 Rich and Mikey both doing the same thing while watching this nightmare lmao
No reason to laugh this hard at.
"Did you eat my Whole burger?"
"I did..."😊
FIESTA! NOOOOO QQ
They became a flavor fiesta
I love how Jornir is like the old man and has no interest in the shenanigans but also enjoys them as well. Also Taishen with the Kobolds was hilarious and i LOVE Andy's portrayal of Skrimm.
3:21:48 i heard there’s a country (which I won’t name) that believes that 👍 is = to a middle finger… probably not true but it’s been said.
Afghanistan, Iran, Greece, and some parts of Italy consider the thumbs up as vulgar, but these days, American media's everywhere, so they'd probably not get too bent out of shape unless they're super old.
@@BigGrabowski never knew that…
Queenie, being the embodiment of chaos this episode was great. her getting stabbed came out of no where, and gave me a freight. loved it!
i love this campaign! Very nICE!
Queenie just taking her clothes off xD I mean he said show him your goods xD
Queenie must be friends with Peggy 😂
When they said something about big bellies I knew it was hill giants
It should be said, that while not wrong in saying that Opalescent Feldspar is Mica, a more common name for it is Moonstone.
The more and more I watch the more Jornir has my heart 😂
Taishen and Queenie's friendship is everything 🫶🫶
At 2:35:33, I imagined Jornir asking Queenie "What woud a cat do in ah fight to teh death? Put on ah oversized feathered hat, grab a saber, and jump into cute lit-al bewts?"
Note to self, the party starts this episode at level 4
Loving the campaign so far🤘story is awesome…..but hearing Jornir laugh for the first time at a rune pun was the best part of my day!!🤣🤣🤣
Andy wearing a Coheed and Cambria shirt solidifies this is my favorite DnD group ever 😫💖
Nikkie bringing up Hoary Boulder warmed my little FFXIV nerd heart
The hug, freaking kills me
3:41:00 around here makes me sad for the young person, to get their vocal cords removed is a travesty, but to also potentially lose qny of your family is even worse.
I love how Maces character this time is basically Uncle Iroh.
I can only imagine the only good joke of space balls when the cobolds appeared ‘dink dink, dink dink diiink dink, dink dink’
Taishen is the bestest boy, and I love him so much.
If I was the dm I would have 100% killed queenie over that ridiculous hug
How DARE you besmirch the honor of Queenie or Ms. March if your nasty!!!!
I wish Derek would find a way to implement a way to silence Queenie when she just rambles like Nikki does to gricko 43:11
Sending two low Int characters to do the negotiations. I can’t see how this could go wrong. 😂
One trusts everyone, one trusts no one. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG. 😂
1:01:32 I love this group so much
The last hour had me on the edge of my sit
So many episodes I missed. I gotta catch up!
They’ve got to be Verbeeg
I haven't been a DM but when queenie pulled that shit with the kobolds I'd have had them all roll for initiative.
Douli used create bonfire cantrip
2:12:56 Queenie!😂
Derrick has to have played Return of the Obra Dinn, if not needs to
I feel like they missed any easy joke on secondus mount like giving it the name deez nutzz and bolts
I wish I was playing with them as the witch class I worked on for over a year just to make a few jokes with theses guys.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO FIESTAAAAAAAAAAAA
Queenie fujoing out with Taishen is so peak
It's like Queenie is trying to kill them 😂
Did anyone else know exactly what Jared meant when he said the bones weren’t at all like an ermine and get real confused by why the party was laughing
In all honesty, I like watching Icebound more than Vox Machina 😅
I think it's the out of character jokes that adds to this.
And I the actual visualization of the violence that makes VoX Machina harder to watch for me anyway
Am I the only one who almost cried about the cat?!
