CR: to the City of Beasts/Pandemonium
E47
7:25 the octopus hats are great.
Really cool fight against the giant crab monsters. Beau almost being pulled apart, then backflipping over them while bleeding and punching them, yes.
1:13 Jester killing one with her giant lollipop, then "oh hi Fjord" and jumping on top of the other to Inflict Wounds, yess
1:19 Caleb is still wearing octopus!Frumpkin as a hat? :D
1:42 Yeah the Travelers actually answers ^^
1:55 That signal happens a lot though ^^
3:23 Caleb wants it be known that he was thoroughly washed in the ocean xD
3:39 Aww, Caduceus feels helpful. And then he gets high in the crow's next and asks the Wildmother what Vandren is doing! (everyone's faces, heh.)
3:45 Caleb and Nott are so sweet.
E48
(I did not listen to Sam's "message to Liam" from the bathtub, embarrassment squick triggered like whoa.)
0:18 Caduceus likes to have pet projects :)
0:44 Aww, Jester's mom is so sweet.
1:24 Beau to Caduceus "I feel like we're bonding" heh
1:56 Jester tells Beau she is beautiful, yess
2:00 Beau trying to be diplomatic, she is the best
2:02 wait, the teas are actually mystically made from buried families? I thought that was a joke/exaggeration.
This wizard is asking all the hard questions :D
2:24 "at a certain level of arcane practitioning morality becomes a bit ambiguous" well that is reassuring…
2:38 Huh, Caleb&Yussah is somehow intriguing
2:45 Caduceus "I watched Beau tell the truth, it was very impressive […] I could tell you were struggling" ^^ Beau is my second favorite.
3:15 "the problem with friends is that you have to care about them" that was a great conversation between Beau and Caleb
3:24 aww, Jester got cookbooks for Caduceus (who never imagined there would be cookbooks, heh)
3:50 people looking for Trent's apprentices, oh shit. And then Nott to Caleb, "fuck [your desire for secrecy about your backstory], it's your people that have done this to my people" oh nooo
3:57 "Yes. It's a chair." Poor Matt ^^
4:00 Nott has a son?! (besides Caleb, heh)
E49
0:16 Jester: "so hey, what the fuck?" ^^
0:27 fuuuck Nott was drowned no wonder she hates water
0:29 turned into a goblin after goblins tortured and killed her, wooow another tragic backstory.
(As an aside, in general I'm not a fan at all of "evil races." I'm very curious what Matt does with the goblins.)
0:31 and the goblins kept her as a slave afterwards?! For half a year? Ouch.
0:44 "don't talk in full sentences, why didn't I think of that?" xD
0:49 Aww, Beau, emotions are hard. I love her so much.
0:51 I thought that fan theory about Caleb Widogast being a fake name was plausible, and it was right! "Bren Aldric Ermendrud"… okay, I prefer Caleb ^^ Jester's reaction was great.
0:52 Caleb reaching out to Beau for support and Beau supporting him awwwww
1:16 "We're all invested in, like, your happiness, I guess" Beau <3 And asking Caleb not to run and to believe in his friends, yesss.
1:18 yeah Beau knows a lot of dangerous historians xD
1:19 Caduceus always wanted to threaten to turn this cart around ^^ (though that might have been Taliesin)
1:47 Beau from the Cobalt Soul :D
2:35 I cannot wait until we get to see the corrupted forest around the Blooming Grove :) And maybe we'll meet some of Caduceus' family before that.
2:42 "Nott and Caleb it is" with the perfect music underlining it
2:43 Taliesin in comic relief mode :D
~3:30 dire honey badger Jester :)
E50
0:24 "turn it into a cow" is a great strategy ^^
0:29 crystal cave!
1:10 Caleb with Slow, Caduceus with Bane, good combo :)
1:34 oh no, road trip…
1:40 what to do when bored? Have Beau read smut out loud, perfect.
2:29 "Come forth, loud meal" xD
2:50 surprise guest!
2:55 Enlargened Nott "Don't make Mommy mad"
3:03 "Would you like to follow us to the light at the end of the tunnel?" xD
3:11 That was a short guest appearance ^^
3:33 dragonfly!Caduceus!
3:38 cow!fire giant xD
3:50 Nott is the only one still on the other side, with two fire giants between her and the exit tunnel – oh shit xD
4:00 oh shit she runs across lava! And Laura has to hug Taliesin, aww.
They made it :) for now…
E51
0:22 communication problems ^^
0:25 "we can kill three people, that's fine" #outofcontextdndquotes
0:31 Jester reassuring Caleb that she doesn't actually think he stinks anymore ^^
2:26 I didn't find this battle especially interesting, and I think I missed parts of it because I was distracted by other things *shrugs*
3:28 cool bird, but yeah not the most gripping fight either. Alt-Roc *g*
4:00 "people like us" ^^ And they tattooed a bugbear, heh.
Meh. This is the first episode in I don't know how long that I sped up because I didn't find it that interesting.
E52
0:18 Caduceus: "still baffles me that anyone can't [magically disguise themselves]", heh.
0:25 he prefers not ever seeing M9 again to gold, heh
0:37 goth!Jester! And Beau as a red dude tiefling, with Molly's dick xD Aww, Liam made Caleb into Jester's twin.
1:10 Nott is searching for her husband, not dead xD And that's a hot minotaur indeed.
1:13 Victor's heir! xD
1:16 Travis signaling stop because he's laughing too much, hah
1:27 foodshake to confirm some excellent haggling
1:33 "Deucy"? Is that new? ^^
1:40 Fluffernuttaaaa
2:42 Caduceus "Sunbreaker" Clay *g*
3:41 a rise in demonic activity? Huh…
3:51 Jester is the worst at advertising xD
3:59 …oh yes, they are meant to rescue Nott's husband ^^ (pretty sure he's not in the city yet, that would seem weird with travel times.)
E53
0:13 Uk'otoa is still waiting… The conversation between Fjord and Caduceus after that dream was great too.
0:24 Yeah it was a wet dream, there's a puddle right over there ^^
0:26 the great intelligence/leadership debate! (also, why don't they just ask Caduceus to use Divination again and this time ask where Yeza is now?)
0:36 Yeah, what if the spy is someone they don't want to give up? I have no idea how they get that idea.
0:38 Sendings are hard ^^
1:05 Yannik, Yarnball, and Clarabelle ^^
1:32 another chair, they're connected ^^
1:41 it was three kobolds in a trench coat!! :D
2:24 everyone is horny for Beau, agreed
2:36 poor Caduceus just wants to eat breakfast ^^
2:41 Beau calling Jester Jessie, is that new? ^^
3:31 Dairon! :D She was very cool in that fight.
The Search for Grog:
Aww, the old intro, nostalgia :)
0:15 and before, everyone laughing about Travis' drawing that card ^^ Travis' face, omg. And everyone making fun of him.
0:20 skeleton!Vax aösdlkfjaösdlkf
0:36 "You let him have this?" xD Word, Highbearer Vord
1:02 The Raven Queen's cleric acknowledging that the RQ owes VM a huge debt? Didn't Vax make a deal?
1:06 love it when Allura trolls people
1:08 Gilmore <3 Subtle topic change, Percy.
1:17 Aww, Trinket offering to carry Grog. And Percy, "I am helping, I'm helping run things." I missed that asshole.
1:44 and Percy has met a lot of egotistical pompous assholes ^^
1:55 Liam you little shit. Taking care of your sister from beyond the grave.
1:57 Githyanki! Or, well, close enough, apparently there are two related Gith* races.
2:02 "How do you know you lost friends here?" "I don't have any." ^^
2:58 "To compartmentalization" Keyleth has the best toasts
3:02 out of nowhere, five bugbears appear and tear off Percy's arm xDD
3:06 "I'll regenerate your arm, I'll bring that back I guess" KEYLETH omg
3:07 Percy clapping, perfect
3:58 actual dancing xD
4:15 BAMF!Percy
4:23 Liam's character died, again ^^
4:25 Grog is back!
4:34 Grog is back, first two attacks both nat20s :D and he gets the HDYWTDT. Can't script this.
Also, man Marisha looks great in that cape. But she always looks great.
That was fun. Great to see VM again :)
Speaking of seeing Vox Machina again: the Kickstarter for the "Legend of Vox Machina" animated special already raised almost 6 million dollars in a few days (original goal was 750k), so it will be a series :) It got funded in less than an hour. The Kickstarter Q&A they did after the first few hours was adorable, they were so overwhelmed.
(What I also realized though is that as much as I loved Critical Role season 1, the plot was great and exciting and I liked the characters and their interactions and the NPCs etc., purely character-wise I liked nobody from Vox Machina as much as I like Beau and Caduceus. Which makes me even more excited for the future adventures of The Mighty Nein.)
