Watching the grin spread on Dustins face as he realises what's about to be shown with the names is great XD
I loved the moment you realized what the villagers would be because it hit you then you realized you had to shut that down quickly but she already figured some of it out. Have fun with the other moment you had to shut down;)
I remember watching this part in C1 and just being floored
Adding In the kill montage with the Rhakshasa and Duregar was pure Gold
Yup. The monsters they showed in the storytelling scene were creatures they actually fought in the campaign. Maybe with the exception of Scanlan's of course. 😅
That has GOT to be Hotis, but are his hands facing the right way? Rakshasa are backwards.
@@danielvanpatten5815 it is hotis since he credited to Matt in the credits, but the hands thing might be due to copyright
Especially that duergar! Vax: "You just one-upped *Grog* ." Grog: "That was *AWESOME* ! Keyleth, I never knew you were an *artist* !" 😅
Grog's and Keyleth's "weirdest kills" We're both during the Kraghammer/K'Varn arc, which took place before the Briarwood arc. That one they won't adapt for...reasons. Although Beholders and Illithid are both unique properties of Wizards of the Coast and not homebrew or mythical monsters, so they'd need to pay for them too, I believe.
when you think about the enormous increase in sells for Wizard of the Coast > because of critical role <
they really should make a exception and allow them to use names like Beholders, Illithid, Durogar and the iconic vecna
@@HugoBolzer WotC probably would, but it gets into messy territory regarding book and miniature sales. CR probably doesn't want to double check with WotC every time they or a third party company wants to make CR stuff. But I can see them making an exception for Vecna specifically, at least in later seasons. Right now they are going with the "Whispered One." Which is what they used in the first Tal'Dorei book.
I only hopped in 100 episodes into C2, what're these reasons
@@Step43099 i found critical role by accident it was during a Live Show when the cast was on costumes and and Jester was a transformed into an mammoth and described her kill
UA-cam video name:
"INSANE Crowd Reactions | Critical Role Live @ GenCon C2E73 Highlight"
jump to: 9:41
and enjoy
@@Step43099 a lot of creatures that are trademarked and also an ex cast member who they had a falling out with. Best to just avoid it.
Yeah, once I saw those people come in for the "event" my immediate thought was "oh no ...... The tree."
Fun fact, the little girl was played by Scanlan's VAs's daughter.
@@DungeonDragon18 So sam reigel. I am almost entirely certain we are all critters here, You can use his name 🤣
I saw them come on screen and immediately went "oh no...."
My heart was singing for the Vax and Kiki moments. They were my OTP in Campaign 1, and it makes me happy to see it developing all over again. Also, feral Kiki snarling and SCARING that doggo, making it WHIMPER. I do love that she’s been given her moments of truly being the GOAT of Vox Machina, especially with her Daylight moment in the previous episode.
Some of my favorite moments of Keyleth are her turning into that saber-tooth tiger. Especially since most of her magic is plant based.
14:40 Critical Role , Episode 4 - 2:47:27
in Kraghammer Arc - in the midst of a duergar warcamp in the thick of battle a "Bulette" appeared
Grogg got the killing blow, and killed it exactly this way
Thank you, I was trying to remember when that happened, I could've sworn I've heard Travis describe this moment :D
I was thinking it was an Ankhegg...
@@AdamBobst a Ankheg is a praying mantis kind of creature
_"The ankheg was a huge insectoid monster with many slender limbs and large antennae. It burrowed underground and hunted from below"_
During the Traven keeper build few years back they had some animators on the show. One of them hates drawing horses but attempted to do one on screen half way through gave up and made one that looked like the purple tailed horse scan poly morphed into. I lost it when they showed it on screen. Easter eggs run deep in these episodes.
And its called an Equi'boa; an equine 🐎 and boa constrictor 🐍, in addition to the Uk'atoa reference
I love that their strangest kill stories were from earlier in the campaign that we didn’t see the adventures of…..except Scanlan, I don’t remember that ever happening.
That may very well have been Scanlan lying to freak them out. Or it was a deep cut only for them to reference and giggle at.
To be fair the Legend of Vox Machina started off as a one-shot Kickstarter that grew into the amazing series we see now.
I very much remember the Keyleth one.
@@TheSkyrider27 I mean those things happened during the live steam of their games.
@@amyrenaud3638 what was the timestamp on that one?
I really hope the rakshasa nod means we'll be getting *that* scene in season 2 or later...
I don’t think in campaign it’s handled waaaay later. Might be a season 4 or 5 kind of a thing.
@@daimonclarke It was during the Chroma Conclave. I think.
The Rakshasa was Vax, Kiki, Orion, Kash and...nat 1 Wheaton, can't remember the character name, in the slayer's take, so we're probably not going to got that arc.
@@Kasino80 I mean that the fact that they showed Vax already having taken out the rakshasa after it swore to come after him might mean we get a very specific scene that happened much later than the Slayer's Take. Trying to be super vague, because that would be a pretty rough twist to spoil for people if they chose to do it. But if they want to get the mileage out of a specific NPC's arc, it would be a shame to miss out on it.
I was also wondering if they will introduce Zahra and Kash since they skipped the slayers take. They were a huge part.
Oof, the ending with the Sun Tree. Just as jarring as Mercer described it in the tabletop session stream.
In the game the there was a bear hanging from the Suntree too. I guess the writers decided that would be a bit much.
The Briarwoods never saw Trinket in the show
@@Witheringdawn2 That also makes sense.
@@Witheringdawn2 man the attention to detail on this show 👌
They also didn't have a representative for Pike since she was already gone before the Briarwoods appeared at the dinner (she was helping rebuild the temple in Vasselheim). They instead had a body resembling Tiberius, since he was present for the fight with the Briarwoods in Imon.
There was at least one three-jawed monster in Campaign 2. Matt likes that three-jawed horror image, usually accompanied by a high-pitched horror trill. (which makes Travis freak out every time)
Three-jawed toothy maw.
@@johnekare8376 entity
Considering how large of a man Travis is, he's quite easy to spook.
@@chazzwozzio visage
I swear, this is a group that loves to freak Travis out. And Travis now gets to freak out fans along with him.
Can't lie the Sun tree with ...hanging 🥺 that lead up ...yeah. (beautifully animated)
And Female Scanlan 😍❤ hehehe
Was it female or just elvish Scanlan
@@whocaresreallly5886 🤔 hmm good point, needs a rewatch 😁 (not that I needed an excuse)
by the way the whole "Polymorph" scene had a little easter egg (unicorn serpentin)
UA-cam Video: "Tavern Keeper Build | The Legend of Vox Machina" and jump to 55:02
@@HugoBolzer 😳 i thought it was odd ... that's so cool!!!
@@whocaresreallly5886 Female Elvish Scanlan 😉❤ (15:24 time stamp).
I saw Wendy’s face in the thumbnail and GRINNED.
Loving y’all’s reactions!
Her reactions are great!
RAKSHASA!!! *jazz hands*
That ending was The Sun Tree IIRC and it was the end of that particular session.
And I believe Marisha was the first one that figured out that it was their lookalikes hanging from the branches, so it's neat to hear Keyleth have that final line of the episode!
@@masquerademage I can't be totally off here but I think the audio team just cleaned the audio from the stream and put it here because the delivery is practically the same
The tongue kill was the bullette down in the underdark before the briarwoods.
So was the Duragar in the lava :D
i could have sworn that was the Ankheg since the Rakshasa happens after the Briarwoods when they join the Slayers Take
@@dagan2000 I don't think that was a Rakshasa though, look at the hands, they're not backwards... I think that might be just a Tabaxi that just got in Vax's way
@@nuru666 i'm certain that was absolutely Hotis. that whole "I'll be back' routine was a dead giveaway
@@dagan2000 The slayers take actually takes place before the Briarwood arc, when they go to Vasselheim with the Horn of Orcus from Kraghammer.
Those wolf creatures are actually a reference to the draington brigade one-shot they were created by a meteor mutation but they reskinned them for some of Delilah’s experiments
@@rogue7723 well probably are in the show but they are super similar to what Matt described during the one shot
When I saw the end of this episode well lets just say Grog is not the only one who would like to rage.
Natural 20! "What does it look like?" Vex's arrow flies straight up the fleeing monster's butt!
I just saw who the child (Pike look alike) invited to dinner was voiced by .... 😳 Sam's kid getting a really short part.
...I think that means Sam has killed both of his kids in the show...His son was the fisherman's son in episode 1.
@@Zsil33 😲 those poor kids 🤣🤣
They're called Shoosuvas, and yes the Mighty Nein fought them in Asarius to get a discount on the moorbounders.
i find it sad that Grogs singular moment of brilliants was cut...
The Recognition of "Yep, thats a Giants keep"
5:09 Aaand... it's got a _toothy_ _maw_ !
I swear, someone just needs to build a paper weight for Matt of a toothy maw. 😂
I loved the throwback to Keyleth killing that Duergar in the lava by pushing it down as its laying in the lava. that actually happened in the first campaign. here is the link to that moment. ua-cam.com/video/cemCmD27Rnc/v-deo.html
I started watching you guys at your reaction to the trailer for LoVM, and now I'm addicted. Wendy makes the best faces!
I really hope we get to see Keyleth talking to the Sun Tree, I really enjoy watching your reactions because you have someone that's watch campaign 1 and someone that hasn't. It makes for a nicely balanced review.
Great presentation guys you two just earned a new subscriber. I can't believe more people aren't reviewing this show I use to play D&D and I love the Easter eggs as well as the writing an magnificent voice acting an character development.
Bidet to you too Movie Couple... Been following you two since I discovered your WoT content (long time/multi-time WoT reader). Now I learn you're Critters too... New Favorite channel. I binged Campaign 1 starting in October and finished mid-January. So glad I discovered Critical Role
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Bidet to you. 😆😆😆
@@laurafiller1849 Kord's Strength to you
The Dark mage is probably a Necromancer. Its just a guess since she seems to have power over undead and her companion is a vampire. I have no insight from the podcast since I just started them after watching the show.
It's not a bad guess.
You're in for a wild ride my new friend ;)
Wendy's guess is Delilah is a wizard or warlock - but haven't quite figured it out yet. Don't spoil it for Wendy just yet though. 😉
@@TheMovieCouple Oh but she's a [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] oh and also [REDACTED]
Percy's gun is called the list because of the names on it...little lore detail that i like XD
If you are familiar with Campaign 3, do you think the young Girl with Black Hair who was hung at the end resembles everyone's favorite Creepy Witch?
I can't help but think how proud of itself that dog monster was, it was creepy as hell but such a good boy
I love her reaction to the Sun Tree scene. I remember that from the original Sun Tree scene in campaign 1 and the scene in the Legend of Vox Machina gave me goosebumps. I'm loving this series. The Brairwood arc is my favorite in Campaign 1. I believe that is when Grog killed a Bullette. Love your reactions.
i think this episode showed, that we wont see the kraghammer arc or the slayers take arc. because we saw keyleth kill the durugar king here, which she did when they originally went to rescue kima (sorry guys i dont think we will see a k'varn fight). then im pretty sure that was vax killing the hotis (the rakshasa) so we probably wont see the tasks that got them into the slayers take. at least not the original way they did it. cause i assume we will still see zahra and kash at some point, so it probably wont be the same slayers take arc.
For the creatures, it reminded a little of the Chimera template where you can add other creatures to it. It seem to have wolf like face like the demigorgaan from stranger things and the scorpion tails as well.
With those tails I was thinking more Displacer Beast
The ones that took the book were undead displacer beasts and Wendy was right The Mighty Nein encountered three of them in Rumblecusp (not undead)
FUCK. I did NOT clock the dinner guests until now...
You're not wrong about that 3 jaw thing being in campaign 2. In that instance, they weren't wolves, but the Sahuagin (water-creature-people) that attacked the Nein after the peace talks before Traveller con I believe were described as having jaws like that.
Forgot to mention that I find how they chose Scanlan to be the one to study the book out of all of Vox Machina to be pretty clever. This is because that fact will set something up for another major arc. 😉
Scanlan is trained in Arcana i think. And he is often the go-to when they dont go to Allura or Gilmore, and so on.
@@r.s.2890 Yup also

... it sets up Scanlan's return in the final (Vecna) arc when he returns to the party. Remember Meatman and his discovery?
@@OneWingedAngelsBand i remember. And dont worry on spoilers for me. I'm up to date on everything. :) i love seeing all the references and easter eggs o the show. ... when i catch tehm anyway. XD
We went from conjuring to lovecratian resident evil 4 or resident evil village is more accurate given briarwoods.wierdest kills and gilmores bit and the polymorph scene were funny also vax and keyleth might become a thing but thats my 2 cents on it.
I forgot the name of the animals they fought in C2... they had like 3 tails or something and could go camouflage.
These are different. These are undead creatures Lady Briarwood sent.

do you guys already reacted to netflix 2022 movie preview teaser??
One good thing did come out of the Tree part, if you've seen Campaign 3 you know.
🖤🖤🖤🐀
Hotis mentioned! Which means the vengeance arc is a go!
Bidet!
Bidet!
@@TheMovieCouple Also can't forget the full title... Grand Poobah de Doink of All of This and That...
- adjusts the fancy hat -
The little girl was played by Sam's daughter
That is both awesome and really dark lol
@@masquerademage They also killed Sam's son and Liam's daughter in the first episode, so I wonder if they're writing another doomed kid for Liam's son to play so they can have a complete set
@@DungeonDragon18 watch Ronin voice _something_ at some point! That would be hilarious
Next week... we had better get Snanbo!
Is Scanlan’s new spell Polymorph or Alter Self?
Probably where he picks up polymorph, setting up some other shenanigans that should happen soon.
I tried to google it, but what is a critter? Great series so far, loving it.
Nickname for those who watch and support the Critical Roll show/podcast/folks.
I think it's the nickname for the fans of CRITical Role.
Those two just gave you the perfect answer.
This entire cartoon was a Kickstarter that Criters funded. Like in a day.
That came from Matt Mercer's imagination. Makes me a little worried.
if you want to see the grog tongue ripout: ua-cam.com/video/LmJXpqjQtw8/v-deo.html
percy's punisher phase is cool and all but in terms of overall usefulness the green elf has the most useful skills. like one shoots guns, another has bows, another daggers, another a axe, a healer and a horny little guy. not a lot of firepower....
Hey Dustin question, what's your opinion on them not putting tiberius in these? With what happened in the show and reality I'd understand but alot of things happened because of tiberius especially when in the future when he sacrificed himself in the battle with the white dragon
The problem with that is that Orion holds rights to Tiberius. I believe that was actually an issue that they had to deal with legally with the Vox Machina Origins comics, though I could be mistaken?
@@Anduril74871 oh I did not know that. I have the first two comics and enjoyed them. Just didn't think that would've been the case since their are probably fans of him
Orion pretty thoroughly burned his bridges with Critical Role, and he left pretty early in the Briarwoods arc anyway. I don't blame CR for just pretending he never existed.
@@DungeonDragon18 that is true when I first started watching he was the one who made me cringe the most whenever he spoke.
I may get a strike from UA-cam from this, but I have to admit one thing. "I love this shit!" SD
I think the scroll was "seeming" so we can get the cows
It’s polymorph, for Scanbo
Polymorph only transforms into beasts. True polymorph, which is a max lvl spell, can do things other than beasts (aka animals). But, seeming doesn't make you go that big or small... so maybe it's a combo move for the animation?
@@mathsalot8099 i wouldn’t be surprised if it was that way, just so it’s an easier visual thing for people who aren’t as familiar with the intricacies of DnD spells. The way it’s done with the huge unicorn seahorse thing definitely feels like some pretty direct lampshading for the Scanbo shenanigans
I see a lot of Critters who haven't seen Campaign 1 and non-Critters asking what's going on with Percy. My tip is to pause the scene in Episode 3 where they show Percy's shadow. Then add it with what you see in the later episodes (Episode 6 particularly). From there you'll be able to figure it out if you add it all up. 🙂
Keyleth, the wisest character in the group, fails her perception check again.
she’s not the most perceptive though considering vex has the observant feat
@@rileyk.1963 Observant only boosts you _passive_ perception. In the case of Perception Skill they should be about equal (or Keyleth should be higher because Vex shouldn't have Expertise yet)
