I dont think it was at will

#

Undead get it added to the list of spells they can learn

#

But who would actually use a spellslot on that

worthy rain
#

undead adds it to learnable spells, not just 'you have it'

knotty hill
#

If it was cast as a spell, then Laudna needs a drink after this fight.

armor of agathys is undisputably better for upcasts and use all around.

with Travis's build, with a 16 cha 17str/con bard, with multiclassing and taking false life, I'm sad to say they still haven't given any thought as to how to play the game they've been playing for at least 6 years now.

#

To be fair, this is Robbie's first character I think :p

stoic leaf
#

They arent the optimizing type

#

Its their game let them live

worthy rain
#

fighter with 16 str, 15 dex, 11 con, 15 int, 10 wis, 13 cha
uses a rapier, isn't an eldritch knight.

stoic leaf
#

And why does that matter

worthy rain
#

read the numbers

trim basin
#

He's a little baby Blitzcrank / Amumu hybrid

knotty hill
#

He wanted to make a fun Gildaroy type of character.

stoic leaf
#

Still don’t understand why it matters

knotty hill
#

Completely useless but lies about all these amazing things he's done

worthy rain
stoic leaf
#

This is a game, broadcast by voice actors who play the game because they enjoy it, while they do focus on combat they are more focussed on what makes sense RP wise for their character

#

I don’t understand what qualifies you to be so judgey

#

They have reasons for what they do

worthy rain
#

Objectivity. Numbers are numbers are numbers.

stoic leaf
#

And? No need to be rude

worthy rain
#

Mathematics is not rude.

stoic leaf
#

Yes but the way you are pointing things out is

worthy rain
#

There's a little problem with that, as mathematics is not rude, which you have agreed with.

knotty hill
#

Yes, but throwing them up as evidence of how they're apparently incompetent for not playing as best as possible, is.

trim basin
#

GET ON THE BALCONYYYYYY

knotty hill
#

It's just a fun game. Travis wanted to make a dude whose old saving grace is being able to lie and tell people he's infinitely more capable than he actually is.

Enemy's gonna be gone, leaping off the second balcony

#

Bertrand Bell is, by design, a horrible fighter.

stoic leaf
#

Which he is supposed to be

worthy rain
#

if Bertrand is not to be a long staying fixture, then sure, it does its job

#

but there are still so many things even aside from Bertrand that gives me an actually painful headache

stoic leaf
#

Well tough luck for you i guess

knotty hill
#

He made this character for the search for Grog, and wanted to keep enjoying his Gildaroy Lockhart build.

stoic leaf
#

Not your game, dont like it, dont watch

ruby quiver
#

As I said earlier, we know for certain that the CR crew does not care about optimization as much as they do roleplay and flavor

ruby quiver
#

They aren't bad or incompetent for choosing the things they want

#

That's not how dnd works

stoic leaf
#

Exactly

worthy rain
#

Liam is well versed in their characters, which I can enjoy

knotty hill

Orym should have taken Blind Fighting for his fighting style at this point lol

Maybe he'll take that feat.

Ok, looks like he's atleast able to see.

We have seen how thr investigation went

trim basin
#

It's tropey, though 😦

stoic leaf

How

trim basin
#

How is it tropey for a villain to obscure themselves and try to run out into an alley by way of a back exit?

stoic leaf

Just wasnt sure what tropey was

Cliché.

Also pretty sure they didnt see the balcony

So atleast she's aware.

I guess she's not in Kansas anymore

I wonder if irl shes running to bertrand?

#

Or can she sense death?

knotty hill
#

Goodbye Grandpa. 😿

#

😢

crude sonnet
#

Wait

#

What did Bertrand say?

stoic leaf
#

Liev tel

#

His ex lover

crude sonnet
#

Ah

knotty hill
stoic leaf
#

Me so sad

#

Im also more interested as to what this means for imogens powers

knotty hill
#

So, she’ll atleast know that something is wrong.

stoic leaf
#

I think she knew exactly that it was him too

#

What is even more sad is that if the dwarf Doesn’t take the body then they will find his body on their way to the window wall

knotty hill
#

I figured Betrand wasn’t a long term plan, but…

#

I just wanted the idiot to find a nice cottage in Vasselheim to retire to.

stoic leaf
#

Way to tug our heart strings

trim basin
#

The important takeaway here...

Don't let the bad guy escape in his smokescreen

knotty hill
#

Can’t wait to see what Travis cooked up for us next

stoic leaf
#

Plus it was fight or flight

knotty hill
#

Maybe we get lucky and Bell had a Pariapt? Pls

stoic leaf
#

Its funny cuz everyone was like “Get bell out!” And now that he is people are like NO!

#

We got to see the projection lighting tjo

knotty hill
#

I just want him to retire happily, surrounded by friends and family.

#

He helped to save Grog and rescued Percy’s arm from a bunch of hob gobs

#

I wanted a hook…. But not like this.

worthy rain
#

I mean

knotty hill
#

Lol apparently this was always the plan.

worthy rain
#

it's not like 11 con and not having staying power is a surprise

knotty hill
#

Travis has an actual C3 character already. But wanted them to come in a touch down the road. So he brought back Bertrand to bridge it over

worthy rain
#

veri nais

knotty hill
#

So, I’m guessing that next week, we’ll be without a Travis for a bit

#

Robbie is gonna break my heart next week

stoic leaf
worthy rain
knotty hill
#

So. Maybe we do keep Bertrand’s Bells

stoic leaf
#

Im saying is that we are trying to enjoy a heartfelt moment

#

A character just died

knotty hill
#

Dorian is gonna be devastated. Dude’s defined himself by his friends and allies. And he let Bertrand go off by himself

stoic leaf
#

I think they’re all going to be devastated

#

Cux while he was a bit of a prick they all still somewhat loved him

rain dove
#

Betrand got killed?????!? WHATT 😭 😭 😭

#

I was just talking about how amazing he is

#

I’m excited to see what Travis wanted to bring to the table long-term

restive lance
#

Same. Fun way to be part of the early story before you come in with your main

#

Bell was great, such a fun character

#

My first hint that Travis wasn’t afraid that he might kick the bucket came from that Gambler’s Blade, though—he always went all in on the “bet”!

#

+3 to attack rolls & damage, but -3 to death saving throws…

knotty hill
#

I saw a cute idea that maybe Travis will be playing Bertrand’s kid with Lieve’tel.

ruby quiver
#

It's cute until you realize the kid could be looking for their dad

hazy kindle
#

I doubt that

restive lance
#

hrrggh

worn violet
ruby quiver
#

Can't wait for laudna to make a corpse puppet out of him :] I mean what

knotty hill
#

The only tie in needed right now is wanting to kill this guy.

knotty hill
#

It’s a given for the rest of the group. So whomever is going to join them needs to be somewhat lukewarm to that idea.

worn violet
hazy kindle
#

she is clearly hexblood or reborn or whatever it was called

I am dearly hoping for hexblood

#

The vibe she gives off is definitely more hexblood tho

trim basin
#

She's still presumed VHuman because feat, since there's not yet evidence anyone other than Imogen has a feat.

ruby quiver
#

She could be human, hexblood, or reborn

worn violet
#

Matt could’ve let her start with a feat too

#

It doesn’t have to come from VHuman

hazy kindle
#

she has darkvision but I think that might come from class as well

trim basin
#

It's possible, and I'd love for her to be a Reborn for the sake of going all-in on staying on her feet... But at present, only Imogen and Laudna have mentioned feats.

#

Darkvision comes from Shadow Sorc

ruby quiver
#

Something I could see Matt letting her do is go Vhuman then become a lineage

#

And letting her keep the feat

hardy dagger
#

She's confirmed to have the Hollow One supernatural gift, at any rate

ruby quiver
#

Especially since she is also hollow one yea

trim basin
#

I doubt she's Reborn because she hasn't rolled any d6s to try to save a bad roll on an ability check.

worn violet
#

I’d be more inclined to think she’s hexblood over reborn tbh cuz she’s giving me major hag vibes

hardy dagger
#

Plus the fact she can just kinda...pluck her fingernails off

trim basin
#

Hexblood is possible because she's shown the ability to do telepathy and has mentioned plucking off her nails, but it's seemed more like she's just casting the cantrip, Message.

ruby quiver
#

I just feel she and Matt are just a little bit too casual about how easily her body falls apart for her to just be a human with hollow one

#

Like her fingers and the lock pick this episode

worn violet
#

Yeah, that’s an explicit thing Hexbloods can do, vs the potential implied flavor that a Reborn might be able to do it.

ruby quiver
#

It might be message but it's a little bit tough to tell because both have the same word limit

trim basin
#

They kept asking Laudna to "Message" Bertrand during the textile heist, rather than having her hand him a fingernail.

ruby quiver
#

It would also work out for her being a warlock. Hex might not be from her class

trim basin
#

Still, occam's razor, she's most likely VHuman

worn violet
#

I wouldn’t say most likely

#

There’s a wide variety of what she could be

ruby quiver
#

Matt often allows characters to start with extra things (items and other abilities)

#

Letting Marisha be a hexblood hollow one who started as a human would track

worn violet
#

Agreed

#

Guess we’ll be able to deduce if she’s Hexblood or not once someone pings something to check

ruby quiver
#

Nope

#

Cause she will ping as undead

#

Due to hollow one

trim basin
#

Creature Type will show Undead no matter what, yeah

worn violet
#

True, I forgot it did that

trim basin
#

No Fey, no Humanoid

hardy dagger
#

Maybe someone will try to cast Hold Person or another humanoid-centric spell down the line?

worn violet
#

So we really won’t know until she pulls off a nail and tells someone to hold onto it for her

ruby quiver
#

Speaking of Laudna however. I am so excited for the dynamic between Laudna Fearne and Ashton

restive lance
#

isn't she a hollowed one because she used Unsettling Presence against Lord Eshteross?

ruby quiver
#

Hollow One isn't a race

#

It's a supernatural gift, which goes on top of race (or lineage)

restive lance
#

Ah! I didn't know!

knotty hill
#

Maybe that'll be a thing asked on Talks. Atm, I'm thinking she's Vuman like Imogen.

ruby quiver
#

It's definitely one of the options if not the most boring one

pure ginkgo
#

Honestly when she used Unsettling presence for the first time I conflated that with a changeling's terrifying visage... but I'm hoping it's not too late for that to still be the case... Like... perhaps her race is ambiguous because Marisha wants to convey that in a subtle way? a bit of a stretch I know

worn violet
#

Yeah, changelings don’t have that feature anymore

trim basin
#

That got cut in the process of moving from WGE to ERLW

worn violet
#

What would be real interesting to me is Travis playing the person who killed Bertrand

#

But there would likely be little reason for the party to ally with him lol

knotty hill
#

And Matt hasn’t handed off an NPC as a PC before.

#

Plus they can pull out a lot of stuff the party cannot do

trim basin
#

I think someone here said the person that Orym/Dorian/Fearne are looking for, "The Anger" or whatever, may be Travis' actual character.

dire inlet
#

I wish this to be true, because Bertrand is irritating

...not that irritating as Fearn though, but still

crude sonnet
#

How is she irritating

dire inlet
#

Strange, but of all the PC of three campaigns, Fearn is the only one sharply unpleasant to watch. She is cute by appearance, but catches the worst line of behaviour I've ever felt
I didn't watch EXU, perhaps she is different there, but here it's... ugh
Not charming at all

crude sonnet
#

I don’t believe she’s meant to be charming, also that entire thing made no sense and still doesn’t tell me how she’s irritating

dire inlet
#

I'l try to explain, it's complex feeling about her

ruby quiver
#

She's very much so meant to be "cute on the outside. Absolutely messed up on the inside"

#

She is very dark

crude sonnet
#

Mhm

dire inlet
#

(english is not my native language, so I'm slow)

I don't feel good about such persons - so absent-minded, indifferent, unpredictable in moves without any attempt to think over the consequences
"Oh I did it. Why, is there something wrong? No way, you're just too serious, don't blame me, I'm doing right"

crude sonnet
#

She is very chaotic, but that’s also the point

dire inlet
#

I understand that this may be just the first impression, but still
For example, Jester doesn't irritate me, though she is true chaos

ruby quiver
#

Dark unsettling sweet is how many people describe her

#

Jester is joyful sweetness

#

In many ways opposite of fearne

dire inlet
#

yes

#

Fearn is a creepy thing with cute face you definitely don't want to be around
Unpleasant one, sorry

ruby quiver
#

Creepy cute. Like a 8ft tall goat standing over your bed in the middle of the night.
That's fearne

dire inlet
#

I don't even understand why Orym is travelling with her with all that)

For now I feel the best to Laudna and Ashton
They're just making my day each time they're up and interact with someone

#

In Fearn's behavior there are some feats people act irl (lack of logic but confident as if no one is able to notice bad move, and similar things) and it triggers too
perhaps too personal impression

I hope there was no offence

worn violet
#

None taken, everybody is entitled to their opinions re: the characters

#

With that being said, the players don’t owe us, the viewers, anything. They’ll play what’s fun for them, and I can respect that.

dire inlet
#

Fair point, never intended to demand anything
They're doing great with themselves and this is admirable

stoic leaf
#

They bonded a lot in exu

#

That’s why they are together

slender fossil
#

So apparently I made a poor choice going to bed an hour and a bit early last night lol

knotty hill
#

Fearn's actions are perfectly in line with how she's literally alien to Exandria.

#

She was born and raised in the Feywild.

#

She went from a world so vibrant and ever shifting, where literally the grass will strangle you for being rude. And ended up here after her grandmother(?) sent her through a portal.

#

She acts like she's from another world, because she is.

Do you think Travis will keep playing and create a new character or he will exit stage left?

Ite already been confirmed that Bert wasn't his "real" character

restive lance
# night spire Do you think Travis will keep playing and create a new character or he will exit...

When given the option to create a character, he was inspired to bring Sir Bertrand Bell back for this purpose, and we discussed the means of his exit. Travis proposed the “grim end”, but agreed he would not know how or when… (3/4)

Yea. Betrand was always temporary. Probably why he was lvl 5. So that we’d have atleast something of a heads up that some plan was happening

#

😢 still wish that he didn’t get ganked in a back alley.

night spire
#

I say the odds of Travis being there next Thursday is low

knotty hill
#

I wanted him to go home to a nice cottage in Vasselheim

#

Seeing as how Travis never knew when Bert would bite it. His actual character is probably around the corner

night spire
#

That doesn't flow as easy in the story. He either had an idea for his true C3 character that was far off or he and Laura need a lil of a break for their child

#

why even bring in a lvl 5 character, to kill them off and bring in a lvl 3

knotty hill
#

He has an entire character already put together.

You can suspect something will happen—grow attached to the character regardless—but still be shocked by the manner of death & how it hits you.

Especially when the character is humorous & loveable (in his own way)

because

she used a thing called "unsettling visage" and idk if thats a racial thing I've never heard of it

#

and like

#

she has a feat at level 3???

#

so is she a vhuman?

hardy dagger
#

Unsettling Visage is a feature for the Hollow One supernatural gift

knotty hill
#

Yep. She's basically a zombie.

#

She won't age and anyone who checks her will ping her as Undead. And as an action, she can freak people out 1 time per long rest.

can hollow be restored to full life

knotty hill

🤷

worn violet
#

They’re humanoid so yeah, I think most rez spells apply to them

#

They only register as Undead for the purposes of detection

#

But aren’t actually Undead

hazy kindle
#

Hollow doesn't change creature type.
If laudna is he hexblood as many suspect/hope she'd be fey not humanoid

#

(Healing spells still apply)

knotty hill
#

I still personally do not see her as Hexblood at all. But 🤷

I see it now

stoic leaf
#

Ah

worthy rain
#

stoic leaf
#

#

Time goes by crazy

worthy rain
#

7 and 50 sec

stoic leaf
#

Loll

#

Why does everyone want travis to play a lycan

#

People love werewolves too much

worthy rain
#

bloodhunter? or proper werewolf

stoic leaf
#

Mixed tbh

#

Some say blood hunter some say werewolf rogue

worthy rain
#

rogue

stoic leaf
#

A rogue would make sense IF he was worried ahout filling the party

#

But as we have seen they are not

worthy rain
#

I wanna see Travis lose his shit over hitting sneak attacks

stoic leaf
#

Which i like

#

I want him to go full paladin no multiclass

#

Or a sorcadin ahaha

#

Three sorcerers

cursive karma
#

He should play a Dhampir because vampires are cool

worthy rain
#

C2 had no rogue for like, a moment, and they broke a passage for a room to be stuck in the void

#

rogues are important

cursive karma
#

Maybe I should play a Dhampir because vampires are cool

stoic leaf
#

Which VM did too but idk

worthy rain
#

and so did M9

stoic leaf
#

They messed up their first espionage without a rogue

worthy rain
#

rogues are not 'evil is mandatory'

stoic leaf
#

They were morally grey kinda

#

Where VM had a strong sense of morals and character

worthy rain
#

maybe Travis is gonna roll up with Fizban usage

no, it's at the very right

stoic leaf
#

No lol

knotty hill

It's possible that Travis could do a Fizzy thing, but unlikely.

Since this character was already set before Fizzy

Though idk that could just be it but we shall see

worthy rain
#

I do appreciate how Liam and Talliesin know what they're doing for a large part
Liam knows their stuff in and out
Talliesin did something for 'on your turn' only, on a different turn.

stoic leaf

And travis is going

modest summit

I appreciate that they had Travis there at first and he left now that the game began. A nice subtle nod that the player is still there but the character is gone

If it was meta gamey they would of looked for bertrand in the street

slender fossil

You had a dream like all the others - oh I definitely wake from it

slender fossil

Maybe we should check on him, after all isaw he was at peace

stoic leaf

It was also a nightmare which she says she usualy wakes from

Good luck with the tenants.

spaghetti is going everywhere

the situation is going from a smooth line to spaghetti

knotty hill

This is the exact reason my Warlock has Gaseous form

burnt badger
#

lol no we've been through this

knotty hill
#

Just mist into rooms.

worthy rain
#

well, they're only 3rd level

#

gas is a 3rd level spell for 5th level characters

#

also, multiclass delays their progression

knotty hill
#

Only for Laudna, but yea. Still such a nice spell for B/E

burnt badger
#

ah yes property damage

stoic leaf

worthy rain
#

weekend at bertie's

tranquil sparrow
#

damn. I caught on early after they started having drinks that Travis seemed to be playing an ending

#

But I hoped it wasn't true

burnt badger
#

Travis stated he wanted bertie to meet a grim end to matt and bring in his actual character later

#

now how long that takes no idea lol

knotty hill
#

Which is presumably tonight.

stoic leaf
#

Omg travis

worthy rain
#

oh my god Fearne

#

Liam's laugh is amazing

knotty hill
#

Travis didn’t know when Matt would end Bertrand. So, presumably tonight we meet the actual character he made

burnt badger
#

going back to my previous prediction/hope travis will play a wizzard

stoic leaf
#

Wizard rogue multiclass

#

Jk

knotty hill
#

I’m torn because I want him to be Bertrand/Lieve’tel’s kid. Also vengeance Paladin.

stoic leaf
#

No one will ever play a kid

tranquil sparrow
#

She ate his peanuts? lol

stoic leaf
#

Not for a main campaign

burnt badger
#

full blown palidin was my second guess

tranquil sparrow
#

the kid would be an adult right?

stoic leaf
tranquil sparrow
#

I"m not familiar with C2

slender fossil
#

I really need to re-watch weekend at Bernies, stands out in my head as one of the first comedies I can recall making me laugh to tears

stoic leaf
#

But what i mean is they would never play a child of another character

knotty hill
#

Betrand’s not a C2 character lol

#

Betrand was c1.

tranquil sparrow
#

C1. mb

stoic leaf
#

Unless its a oneshot

tranquil sparrow
#

I've only gotten to C1E9

stoic leaf
#

This reminds me of when you have a nightmare and tell your parents and beg them to let you sleep with them

tranquil sparrow
#

yeah

cursive karma
#

Will Travis’s new character be back for revenge for Bertrand’s death?

tranquil sparrow
#

that's one way to spin it

burnt badger
#

nah it's going to be like cad no relevant relation to the previous character

stoic leaf
cursive karma
#

That’s true

stoic leaf
#

It is very rare that characters are related to other characters past, the only one that defies this is orym

#

Having relations to keyleth

burnt badger
#

and it was very minimal at that only being from her tribe and nothing else

stoic leaf
#

Well wasnt he a bodyguard for her?

tranquil sparrow
#

I was about to ask if he was from her tribe. She was an Earth Gensai?

burnt badger
#

Air

tranquil sparrow
#

I know she was a druid

Half elf from the air ashari

tranquil sparrow

I don't think I've caught her racial type yet

Lol

#

Ye ye

violet falcon
#

It really didn't hit me hard because I knew all of this was going to happen.

burnt badger
#

yeah

tranquil sparrow
#

There seemed to be a parallel between the figure in Imogen's dream and Bertrand, especially since matt was doing those two scenes simultaneously

#

which is why i asked

stoic leaf
#

She sensed him die

burnt badger
#

I have a feeling it's due to her subclass

stoic leaf
#

Yeah she has a psionics subclass

#

So it definitely seems to relate to this

knotty hill
#

Aberrant Mind. Or atleast something similar.

burnt badger
#

yeah it's aberrant mind

tranquil sparrow
#

i forgot I had Prime. starting at the beginning

knotty hill
#

Just now noticed Laura found a yellow scarf for herself lol

If only Laudna was 3rd level warlock. She'd have Spider Climb to help her fix the ceiling.

It sounded like it goes all the way to the base of the spire.

stoic leaf

Oh true i forgot these are spires

knotty hill

Idk how tall it is, but that's a quarter of a mile drop.

So that tells me he can possibly come back in here

There's some pathway they can go to find him. Whether or not they do this ep?

New Betting Pool: Travis' new character appears at the final seconds of this episode.

Travis will pop up at the end saying "COME ON GUYS! HOW CAN YOU KEEP WALKING PAST ME?!"

On Thursday night?

knotty hill

It's happened before where a character wasn't introduced because the party just did not go that direction. We know Travis is still on the set. So I'm sure he's prepped to step in.

WHAT DID LAURA JUST SHOW ASHLEY

Oh right I remember

Yeah that

Because they didnt go a certain metaphorical path

trim basin
#

Oshad Breshio / The Anger = Travis' actual character?

stoic leaf
#

I though they were two people?

trim basin
#

He just said "Also known to some as"

stoic leaf
#

Oh im half awake

trim basin
#

Previous interaction definitely seemed like two separate entities

knotty hill
#

Yes, but I'm talking about a player being sat just off screen, waiting for their chance to pop in, and just didn't get to because the party didn't go that way.

#

Not like how Colvil coulda happened.

tranquil sparrow
#

that would be a bummer

stoic leaf
#

Ooo wait ashton works with the corsair? Orrrr

burnt badger

now that i think about it my new guess is travis will be back by the end of the month

Comes down to when Matt introduces him.

Hang on have I just zoned out, do we know anything re: the family stuff Orym was talking about?

Wasn't there something about The Envy last episode or the one before? Awfully close to the Sorrowsworn names

Oshad Breshio (How closed caption spelled it) is a bodyguard for the (Lahaan, brain is forgetting this one already?) family.

heavy lotus
#

Yeah. I mean like, the Mahaan(?) family and then the thing about "something similar happening to a family from where he's from" and seeing if they're connected

knotty hill

Orym's looking for someone called "The Anger"

Okay

You and the chosen creature can speak telepathically with each other while the two of you are within a number of miles of each other equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 mile). To understand each other, you each must speak mentally in a language the other knows.

Unless the 30 are super weak

Just a thought. Them sending Bert off to anyone in Vox Machina is a pretty darn good way to ensure he’ll come back.

Get him to Pike in under 10 days and he’ll be fine.

If they think he’s good for a 1000 gp diamond. Just get him there.

I don't think I'd call it a certainty. From the way his body was described as smiling, I have a feeling his soul might be at peace (maybe with the Raven Queen) and not willing to return.

But I like that it leaves the option open.

plot twist - Bertrand IS travis' real character, just he's got a sekrit gig and has to disappear for a bit and will return when the rest are level 5.

Lol

I absolutely love how Travis came in with a character that he knew would die soon. It's such a good way to get the group together and give them motivation to stay together and move the plot forward

#

I think Matt mentioned it was mostly because Travis wanted to play a character who gets introduced a little later than everybody else

#

So he just played Betrand until a good opportunity to introduce the actual character he wants to play.

Which he didn’t know when he’d die

Until they say either way. I will headcanon that when Betrand arrives in Whitestone, Percy and Vex are still their heroic selves and get Betrand revived in Vasselheim where he remains.

I really hope so

#

Tbh I really liked Bert even though I don’t really know anything about him from c1

When Percy lost his arm in the pits of Pandemonium, it was SIR BERTRAND BELL whom then charged in to single handedly defeat 3 bugbears, in order to retrieve it.

This was a one shot story post campaign wasn't it

#

The pandemonium thing was in response to grog and the deck of many things, yeah?

#

Yeah, Search for Grog was a one-shot

#

They played it as a one-shot after Grog pulled the Void card at the finale of the first campaign

I’m finally getting around to finishing Campaign 1

#

Just saw them down Vorugal

#

Now they’re planning for Thordak

#

That Cloak & Dagger episode was… oof

#

Emotional

#

I've realized, especially thanks to fizbans... Thordak's story is Ashardalon repurposed.

#

If I run sunless citadel again and put it in Wildemount, it'll just be thordak's name in the citadel.

#

I’ll probably finish Campaign 1 by the end of the year lol

#

Might jump to Exandria Unlimited after this

#

I’m just waiting for C3E4 to come out on YT

#

How deep are you in now?

#

I think Travis will come back with his character on 12/02

knotty hill
#

Why? That's a lot of time for Matt to sideline him

#

Considering there's no episode on the 25th, not really

knotty hill
#

It's 3 whole sessions.

#

Wasn't Tal out for that long?

knotty hill
#

Molly died in episode 26, Cad came in episode 28

#

And Tal needed the time to actually make a new character, while Travis has just been waiting for Matt to off Betrand and intro his actual character.

#

I would assume that this week is when Travis's PC comes in, with how the game ended off.

night spire
#

He is the CEO now... he may not come back

knotty hill
#

He's been the CEO

#

6 years now

ruby quiver
#

Yea him being the CEO isn't the reason for anything

#

And Matt has literally stated why Bertrand died and that Travis does have another character coming in

worn violet
#

Yeah, it was just a decision based on Travis’s want to play a character that the party would meet partway through the adventure

#

iirc, at least

knotty hill
#

Yep. He wanted to come in later, Matt didn't want to play without him, so they brought in Bert to bridge the gap.

I still like my "conspiracy theory" ;)

critical role campaign 7 is just
"Hi we're the cast and we've just programmed the AI for our characters"
