I like to imagine that it's purely out of a (friendly) spite for Lou and Aabria going 'WTF are you talking about Bolo as a dragon makes NO sense' during the wrap up/ roundtable that Brennan's like 'yeah I'm gonna commit to that bit and none of y'all are ready for this.'
The pronoun for the wizard threw me off. If I heard that accent and Brennan had refered to the wizard as 'she', I'd have clocked that from space. RIP Bolo, now joined by Slitch as the best NPCs that are almost certainly dead and gone too soon.
@@BrenttFeasetrue resurrection expires after 200 years, and it has been nearly a millennia since Downfall. Technically, Wish can do anything, but that logic could apply to making an exception to any rule of the game.
Gone too soon seems like an understatement for something that happened almost a millennia before the game which is approaching its 10 year anniversary IRL and covers about 34 in-game years
Also, pretty sure that dragon was essentially disintegrated so there's no body to recover, resurrection magic might still be offline, and whatever God has her soul needs to think, hmmm yes let this one return, who schemed for decades on how to kill us, especially right now while there is a scheme to kill us all.
@Failed_Vestige_of_Exandria Galadriel is an elf in the Lord of the Rings. She's in both the book and the movies, and she's quite wise. I don't have the ring, so I'll diminish and remain the best Galadriel I can be.

it was born in the calamity, was taken to the feywild for safety and grew up without a mother or father. it has daddy issues that Zathuda took advantage of as well.
So I have a feeling that that child is now canon and will be showing up in one of the campaigns A sliver fay dragon conceived on the eve of the calamity to the silver dragon bolo a protector of aorea and the fairy laquitias someone who accidentally caused the calamity. that if she/he fallows any of the traits of their parents would be a quick talking, flamboyant person who pretends to be human reporter with one hell of an accent Story rights itself
@@sevansnake369 hell they could probably show up in the main campaign and i would not be surprised. its a dragon and a fay to boot. that bastards near eternal.
4:07, Now, I'm just picturing Loquatius and Laerryn about to die as Avalir collapses only for Bolo to fly in as a dragon and grab them (or maybe only Loquatius).
Bolo's arguably one of CR's best NPCs but when Brennan said that she was the silver dragon in Downfall, I just quietly said "oh fuck you" out loud while watching that because it was such a good reveal.
We do know Bolo, if she’s Bolo Maximus, did have a family: Gorus Maximus (mother) Vitalio Maximus (father) Morbo Maximus (sister) Silio Maximus (sister)
I mean what if Bolo had a way to immediately cast wind walk on herself(maybe the other 2 dragons but doubt that) then her vanishing away could be the spell taking affect and then they can just dash dash away with that sweet 300 ft of movement speed.
Because literally everyone including the cast missed it. I briefly considered it when I heard the "my name was--" when she died, but the pronouns caught me off guard. I don't think anyone would know about this if it's not explicitly stated.
@@codex_jinora Still, putting it explicitly in the title and thumbnail is a dick move, and anyone that hadnt watched the 4sd yet has been robbed of that surprise. Im clicking "dont recommend this channel to me" because I cant trust this channel not to spoil me in the future
Gee, thanks for the spoilerific thumbnail there chief. Haven't had the chance to watch the second or third episodes. This could have been a nice surprise, but nope.

cerrit and bolo flying out of avalir passing by each other and spiderman pointing at each other
🤣🤣🤣🤣 holy shit! That would be hilarious.
Cerrit: Do I know you?
Bolo: We met at the party.
Cerrit: ohhh. (Flies away faster)
Or, if not the Spider-Man pointing meme, the Vanya and Five from Umbrella Academy driving by each other meme would also work.
@@AbyraeThis one would be more accurate honestly
"My mother was a dragon, my father was a reporter, but I'm ok with that now!"
"He covered wars, you know?"
Fairy Dragons are an actual thing in 5e, so someone could totally make Loquatious' dragon child in a homebrew campaign.
😂😂😂

Bolo is definitely dead, she died on-screen. But that doesn't mean she couldn't be resurrected if her remains are recovered within Aeor...

@@codydwyerify I forgot True Resurrection had a time limit.
I imagine bolo was there for every city that fell between avalir and aeor.
you mean she's some sort of... Bolo the Fall Omen?
Don't ever let Aabria know about this new theory. 😅
It's not theory it's confirmed bolo the silver dragon
Oh she knows.
I'm sure she felt it in the air
Don't ever extrapolate Aabria with Galadriel. She's a decent player, I just can't with her as a DM.
@@chriskuhn6130 maybe get off of that obsessive dislike wagon of yours. Your comment is irrelevant to the original comment.

I was watching the live episode and dont worry chat caught that the dragon was bolo
See… I heard the accent and I wasn’t sure in that episode
I legit thought he was just making the point that it really was an Aeorian accent. lolol
As soon as I heard the accent and they took on the silver dragon form I was like "this mofo actually made bolo a dragon didn't he?" xD
"Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I was in a crashing flying city, I'd have two nickels...which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?"
Sam’s campaign 4 character will be cholo descendent of bolo and a reporter who is half fairy half dragon
Bolo wanted to be a reporter - as in report to Aeor all Avalir secrets.
Gloomgut's origin story 🤣
Pls somehow get this to Matt this needs to be canon 😂😂
Canon
Gloamglut* I'm not sure if my spelling is 100%, but the phonetics fit better 🙂 I LOVE the theory, though 😁
would just add another unique piece to Fearne's collection, since she does want to steal that dragon
it was born in the calamity, was taken to the feywild for safety and grew up without a mother or father.
it has daddy issues that Zathuda took advantage of as well.
I hope Bolo and Loquatius sired a line of gnarly Changeling Dragons that look like shapshifting Khezu from Monster Hunter.
I know it's a month later but this still haunts me as a reference and will make me chuckle if we get Khezu in Wilds.
When Bolo is just Critical Role's Yelena from the MCU 😂 the diction was super similar i love that for Bolo
I’m glad I randomly got a reminder of Bolo lore recently before this reveal. xD
Oh I cannot WAIT for when Bolos child gets put into some super serious position later on :D
They definitely smashed.
So I have a feeling that that child is now canon and will be showing up in one of the campaigns
A sliver fay dragon conceived on the eve of the calamity to the silver dragon bolo a protector of aorea and the fairy laquitias someone who accidentally caused the calamity. that if she/he fallows any of the traits of their parents would be a quick talking, flamboyant person who pretends to be human reporter with one hell of an accent
Story rights itself
100% bolo and quay's kid is showing up when brennan gets to run his divine gate side story
@@sevansnake369 hell they could probably show up in the main campaign and i would not be surprised. its a dragon and a fay to boot. that bastards near eternal.
This is fucking PERFECT! Brennan's dedication to a bit is just...unparalleled...😅😂🖤
Doesn't this imply that bolo was a spy for aero?
Yes it does
was that ever in question? xD
considering Brennan explicitly states it, I don't think "imply" is the right word :p
This all came full circle and i hope Sam sees this. XD
Can you destroy? 😂😂😂😂
I heard her say “my name was” and I thought it was just another sad moment.
God Brennan I love you.
4:07, Now, I'm just picturing Loquatius and Laerryn about to die as Avalir collapses only for Bolo to fly in as a dragon and grab them (or maybe only Loquatius).
THIS YOUR HOUSE😐😂
I mean. The jabberwock ferns dad rides could be the child of bolo! It is a dragon!
Ok, *turns my Aeorian apprentice mage survivor from a Human into a Silver Dragonborn* :3
gloamglut is loquatius and bolo's child confirmed
Bolo's arguably one of CR's best NPCs but when Brennan said that she was the silver dragon in Downfall, I just quietly said "oh fuck you" out loud while watching that because it was such a good reveal.
Half fae half dragon you say? Like a certain sorrow lord's mount perhaps?
“Silver Dragon” aka (I don’t wanna paint that much.) 😂
Bolo is one of the best things to come out of a simple RP moment!
We do know Bolo, if she’s Bolo Maximus, did have a family:
Gorus Maximus (mother)
Vitalio Maximus (father)
Morbo Maximus (sister)
Silio Maximus (sister)
I thought i recognized the voice!
I mean what if Bolo had a way to immediately cast wind walk on herself(maybe the other 2 dragons but doubt that) then her vanishing away could be the spell taking affect and then they can just dash dash away with that sweet 300 ft of movement speed.
We're all Bolo
Fearne’s fairy dragon
Maaaan, I went to bed too early that ep!!! I couldn't stay awake any longer and crashed.
thank you for this comp
I don't think anyone knows what Brennan possibly theory suggested: Gloamgut, is a Fae Dragon right yall?
I absolutely love this
this is the origin of Gloamglut
This makes me want to rewatch calamity
I wish i had been watching live to see the chat when that happened 😂
My wifes's call of the netherdeep character is a draconic sorcerer changeling. Do you have aby idea what you've done 😅
So... she was Bolo the Bad Luck Dragon?
where can i watch the entire video ?

This has zero plot relevance, it’s a joke reveal of a joke character

Gee, thanks for the spoilerific thumbnail there chief. Haven't had the chance to watch the second or third episodes. This could have been a nice surprise, but nope.
