schneefinkYesterday I went running for the first time in months :) My mom signed us up for a run at the end of May so I should start training. It was fun and I enjoyed it, and then today I woke up sick again, so it probably wasn't a good idea just yet…
More Critical Role episode commentary:
E54
0:15 Dairon is Beau's case worker ^^
0:26 Taliesin's face! :D I really hope someone draws Fjord directing Caduceus to scowl.
0:37 Beau&Dairon :DDD Love their conversation. They are concerned for each other! Dairon gives advice, it's not what Beau wanted to hear! Man I love Beau so much.
0:43 (just ignoring the implication that Jester listened to all of this)
0:44 "Please. Live." Asdfäalök
0:47 Caleb doing accents xD
0:51 Matt: "Aww, you're really sweet, Caduceus" <3
1:13 I hope someone draws Beau pulling up Frumpkin from the well in a bucket :D
1:34 Beau smiling threateningly :D
1:59 Yess Beau and Dairon will hopefully meet again :D And Beau gives her Avantika's cipher, smart. "Be patient, listen, stay alive." And later Beau actually meditates :)
That fight went okay but I already read spoilers about the next episode…
E55
0:16 "Clerics together forever!" "What could possibly go wrong." Uh-oh…
0:44 Beau just casually wondering if Caleb can talk to dead people now ^^ and Nott ghost-trolling Fjord, heh
0:50 of course Jester has a dick sense ^^
1:01 Nott finally tells Caleb about the letter she sent to Astrid – might have been a mistake, but at least Caleb is not his real name
1:03 "Light them up, pretty" uh-oh :D
1:14 I'm confused, if Caleb needs to speak to cast a spell, why would being deaf hinder him?
1:23 of course charmed!Caleb makes the strength check ^^ Travis can't deal
2:35 Jester closing that rift was very smart
2:43 unarmed strike by Marisha ^^
3:07 everyone's reactions to Caleb's failed death save are great
3:22 of course the one Wisdom save Yasha makes is against Caduceus!!
3:36 they are all so stressed…
3:39 Matt to Taliesin "I cannot kill you!" uh…
3:41 Finally Yasha snaps out of it!
3:48 Shit, if Beau had failed that wisdom save… they would probably all be dead.
3:54 BAMF!Beau tearing out a demon's heart :)
4:03 "It's an explosive arrow. …oh no…" Beautiful faces. And then Caduceus' death, Jester's Revivify, and Caduceus' vision were all beautiful.
E56
So Sam's ad is terrible but surprise David Hewlett appearance ^^
0:27 password Pussy…
0:28 Matt!Caduceus is pretty good :)
0:30 "Hey Caleb, you been mind-controlled before?" "not through arcane means, no"
0:35 another Traveler worshipper!
0:43 so the Traveler himself was young when he first met Jester? Or just looked like that
0:44 ew, shitting in wells is not chaos it's just unhygienic
0:49 competing over their god's attention ^^
1:00 "If you ask, the worst they can do is say no, and throw you in an Imperial prison, and you'll never see your family again" Beau's mom had interesting sayings ^^
1:59 everyone must have thought the M9 are very weird/assholes for wanting to bring their moorbounders along…
2:02 Beau is always down for a fight and/or a flirt with a pretty woman ^^
2:15 very curious about this "consecuted" thing. Also, maybe do some more research before showing your ignorance constantly like this…
2:25 Having Beau and Caleb play slaves of the others? Uh…
2:32 actual footstool!Beau and Caleb polishing Fjord's boots… Caduceus and Yasha look uncomfortable, no kidding
2:36 so, uh, maybe the M9 should have been better prepared for what they actually want to say to her…
2:39 (oh perfect, let the CHA 6 character talk to her *facepalm*)
2:44 "Okay, a couple of things" uh-oh xD
2:50 Matt's face over the map looks cool. And everyone's reactions when they understand what Caleb is planning…
2:56 Heroes of the Dynasty, huh? :)
E57
0:23 yep, war is hard to end and means a lot of death
0:27 so the beacons are tools for reincarnation! ("consecution") – so stealing a beacon is literally stealing souls… and they seek to become "umavi", perfect souls
0:31 "would someone please cut off the leather straps I had to wear to disguise myself as a slave and you then used to actually pretend I was a slave" "you look so pretty though" uh, Jester, not really the angle Beau was going for. ("sorry about that" ok…)
0:34 Caleb appealing to the Bright Queen not to kill all of the Empire but just the bad people, interesting. And Beau backing him, and then Caduceus
0:36 the Bright Queen is 1200 years old, whoa
0:45 Beau/Bright Queen please
0:53 yes more aftermath of the slave play, good
1:19 Aww, Nott has friends
1:23 guess who doesn't have a word limit anymore ^^
1:29 Jester: "If you're not nice to my friend I will cut you"
1:30 Veth and Yeza's reunion is very nice
1:38 Caleb and Yeza meeting
1:42 so the Assembly were trying to steal souls out of the beacon?
2:18 they reached the 8.8 million stretch goal! 10 episodes! :D
2:22 wow, that is one big flask
2:50 Jester opening all the windows and Caduceus closing them again ^^
2:59 "Chemistry's good, killing's better" ^^ I love how impressed Yeza is by his wife
3:02 aww, molecular structure tattoos would have been great
3:07 "leave every place better than you found it is really the only direction I have at the moment" Beau <3
3:10 Hey look Caleb trying to be more open.
3:13 uh-oh, not the chair xD
3:14 good points by Yeza about the Empire/Dynasty conflict
3:25 Aww, Yeza is sweet
3:28 Caleb straight-up telling Fjord he appreciates him, heh
3:30 o.o poor Jester knows nothing about relationships… and learned about romance from porn xD
3:33 Caduceus and Yasha – such a shame that Ashley isn't here. (soon!)
3:39 Caleb to Beau: "I need you to trust me. I need you to be my friend." <3 Beau: "I've been your friend this whole time. … I care for you a lot." Caleb: "I care for you." Beau: "I'll trust you. Do me a favor, start trusting yourself." Caleb: "I respect you greatly. Thank you for your time." "You don't have to thank me for my time like you're a social worker!" Hug <3 And clasping hands! That was beautiful :D
Btw, speaking of the chair, I really enjoyed the #CriticalFools Twitter hashtag, about the real CR BBEGs :)
I bought the Cobalt Soul notebook and it's so pretty I barely know what to use it for. Maybe notes/ideas when our next D&D campaign starts. Which is probably soon – speaking of, I want to get a new dice set for the new campaign, I should start looking. If I had a lot more money I could get the dice set CR Kickstarter reward... (Ten episodes funded, it's going to be great.)
