Undead get it added to the list of spells they can learn
But who would actually use a spellslot on that
undead adds it to learnable spells, not just 'you have it'
If it was cast as a spell, then Laudna needs a drink after this fight.
Why lol
armor of agathys is undisputably better for upcasts and use all around.
Laudna apparently
Because False Life + Hex. No pact slots.
She has a sorc slot
But that one might be used too
Possibly
Matt just straight going after them with this combat lol
Ikr
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.
all he needs is a balanced encounter and he's got them on the ropes
To be fair, this is Robbie's first character I think :p
That is incredibly rude i dont think that’s necessary
They arent the optimizing type
Its their game let them live
fighter with 16 str, 15 dex, 11 con, 15 int, 10 wis, 13 cha
uses a rapier, isn't an eldritch knight.
And why does that matter
read the numbers
He's a little baby Blitzcrank / Amumu hybrid
He wanted to make a fun Gildaroy type of character.
Still don’t understand why it matters
Completely useless but lies about all these amazing things he's done
this is what is known as a bafflingly terrible ability score array, for a rapier fighter.
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
Objectivity. Numbers are numbers are numbers.
And? No need to be rude
Mathematics is not rude.
Yes but the way you are pointing things out is
There's a little problem with that, as mathematics is not rude, which you have agreed with.
Yes, but throwing them up as evidence of how they're apparently incompetent for not playing as best as possible, is.
GET ON THE BALCONYYYYYY
Very that
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
and just like that its a ship
Bertrand Bell is, by design, a horrible fighter.
Which he is supposed to be
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
Well tough luck for you i guess
He made this character for the search for Grog, and wanted to keep enjoying his Gildaroy Lockhart build.
Not your game, dont like it, dont watch
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
Which is why we love the show
They aren't bad or incompetent for choosing the things they want
That's not how dnd works
Exactly
Liam is well versed in their characters, which I can enjoy
lol, who gets stabbed by Bert tonight.
Bertrand finally deals significant damage in a fight
Omg ahaha no dorian
Omg someone said Bert and Fearnie
Ahahaha
top shelf
Orym should have taken Blind Fighting for his fighting style at this point lol
Poor guy
Like a bulldozer in a china shop
Truly
They sure are having a lot of fun for a group that got a poor gnome lady murdered
RIGHT?!
They will be back to that in a sec
Lol
Ok, looks like he's atleast able to see.
I was afraid of Ashton hitting Orym
No splatting.
Imogen with higher AC than Bertrand lol
Custom imogen spell!
Homebrew spell osnap
Big bad left off the balcony through the side room after casting Darkness 100%
Orym is adorable
Mannnnn I am so disappointed in them not looking at the balconies and thinking "Hey did the big bad try to run away under cover of darkness"
Most of them arent super smart
We have seen how thr investigation went
It's tropey, though 😦
How
How is it tropey for a villain to obscure themselves and try to run out into an alley by way of a back exit?
Just wasnt sure what tropey was
Cliché.
Also pretty sure they didnt see the balcony
Shadow Sorc confirmed
Yep
Yeet
And explicit confirmation of her split
figured
She's got just the 1 Shadow Sorc level
Spicy snack lol
Laura head of the class
Atleast Darkness only lasts 10 minutes
lol
Shadowcreepers
Description very similar to older editions' Dark Stalker / Dark Creeper which got turned into Darklings for 5e
I think they are darklings but homebrew
"We're indecent" - understatement of the century
That was amazing ahaha
Laudna, you just shoved a 90 year old off a balcony lol
80 yr old but yeah, she is close in age
The most she can be is like 40-50
30 years isnt bad
I'm getting Beast vibes here lol.
Hes ready
Reasons to have minor illusion. Headshots
Shadecreepers
I ate one. 🙂
...wut?
I love it
Cake Bosses
Ahahaha nah thats esteross’ company and his crew
I love them now.
Ive always loved them
Castle Eshterossenloft
Quickest way to my heart lol
Cooking.
He's this built and battered war torn fighter. He also makes cakes
Dead Eye for the Orc Guy
Ooooo dorian and imogen spicy
They are so mean to Bertrand lol
To be fair he has been quite rude to them
Bertrand's Bells!
Ask not for whom Bertrand's Bells toll...
I quite liked the sorcerous blades or whatever it wss
Fearne most honest healer ever
Call this party Tom Robinson cause all they do is bust up some Chiffarobes
Gimme dat hook pls
Earth wind and spire by fire
Time for sleeps
Goldman Sachs? No, Goldsack Murderers
I feel a bad thing to happen.
Oop
Laura's gonna kill her husband
He's going out Cyrano style
Ok, nvm. I thought maybe it was Imogen doing a thing in her sleep
who dis
The dwarf from b4
ah gotcha
Who killed Dannis
DIE
I dont want him to die
his roleplaying is delightful though
It is
Goodbye Bertrand Bell
Sleep well
Ooo can imogen save him??!?
THE LIGHTS
Projection!!!
holy shit the lighting
So atleast she's aware.
I guess she's not in Kansas anymore
Ah
So, she’ll atleast know that something is wrong.
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
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.
Way to tug our heart strings
The important takeaway here...
Don't let the bad guy escape in his smokescreen
Can’t wait to see what Travis cooked up for us next
Not that they knew anything
Plus it was fight or flight
Maybe we get lucky and Bell had a Pariapt? Pls
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
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.
I mean
Lol apparently this was always the plan.
it's not like 11 con and not having staying power is a surprise
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)

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
veri nais
So, I’m guessing that next week, we’ll be without a Travis for a bit
Robbie is gonna break my heart next week
Really? Still keeping this up?
what are you adding to any discussion with this
So. Maybe we do keep Bertrand’s Bells
Dorian is gonna be devastated. Dude’s defined himself by his friends and allies. And he let Bertrand go off by himself
I think they’re all going to be devastated
Cux while he was a bit of a prick they all still somewhat loved him
Was... 😢
I’m excited to see what Travis wanted to bring to the table long-term
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…
I saw a cute idea that maybe Travis will be playing Bertrand’s kid with Lieve’tel.
It's cute until you realize the kid could be looking for their dad
hrrggh
Yeah, dealing with a dead party member is often awkward/strenuous enough. Introducing their relative as a party member sounds like things could get even weirder in party dynamics.
Can't wait for laudna to make a corpse puppet out of him :] I mean what
The only tie in needed right now is wanting to kill this guy.
YES
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.
I swear, she has to be Hexblood
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
She's still presumed VHuman because feat, since there's not yet evidence anyone other than Imogen has a feat.
She could be human, hexblood, or reborn
she has darkvision but I think that might come from class as well
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
Something I could see Matt letting her do is go Vhuman then become a lineage
And letting her keep the feat
She's confirmed to have the Hollow One supernatural gift, at any rate
Especially since she is also hollow one yea
I doubt she's Reborn because she hasn't rolled any d6s to try to save a bad roll on an ability check.
I’d be more inclined to think she’s hexblood over reborn tbh cuz she’s giving me major hag vibes
Plus the fact she can just kinda...pluck her fingernails off
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.
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
Yeah, that’s an explicit thing Hexbloods can do, vs the potential implied flavor that a Reborn might be able to do it.
It might be message but it's a little bit tough to tell because both have the same word limit
They kept asking Laudna to "Message" Bertrand during the textile heist, rather than having her hand him a fingernail.
It would also work out for her being a warlock. Hex might not be from her class
Still, occam's razor, she's most likely VHuman
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
Agreed
Guess we’ll be able to deduce if she’s Hexblood or not once someone pings something to check
Creature Type will show Undead no matter what, yeah
True, I forgot it did that
No Fey, no Humanoid
Maybe someone will try to cast Hold Person or another humanoid-centric spell down the line?
So we really won’t know until she pulls off a nail and tells someone to hold onto it for her
Speaking of Laudna however. I am so excited for the dynamic between Laudna Fearne and Ashton
isn't she a hollowed one because she used Unsettling Presence against Lord Eshteross?
Hollow One isn't a race
It's a supernatural gift, which goes on top of race (or lineage)
Ah! I didn't know!
Maybe that'll be a thing asked on Talks. Atm, I'm thinking she's Vuman like Imogen.
It's definitely one of the options if not the most boring one
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
Yeah, changelings don’t have that feature anymore
That got cut in the process of moving from WGE to ERLW
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
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
I think someone here said the person that Orym/Dorian/Fearne are looking for, "The Anger" or whatever, may be Travis' actual character.
I wish this to be true, because Bertrand is irritating
...not that irritating as Fearn though, but still
How is she irritating
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
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
I'l try to explain, it's complex feeling about her
She's very much so meant to be "cute on the outside. Absolutely messed up on the inside"
She is very dark
Mhm
(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"
She is very chaotic, but that’s also the point
I understand that this may be just the first impression, but still
For example, Jester doesn't irritate me, though she is true chaos
Dark unsettling sweet is how many people describe her
Jester is joyful sweetness
In many ways opposite of fearne
yes
Fearn is a creepy thing with cute face you definitely don't want to be around
Unpleasant one, sorry
Creepy cute. Like a 8ft tall goat standing over your bed in the middle of the night.
That's fearne
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
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.
Fair point, never intended to demand anything
They're doing great with themselves and this is admirable
You need to watch exu then
They bonded a lot in exu
That’s why they are together
So apparently I made a poor choice going to bed an hour and a bit early last night lol
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.
"All I got from that is that it's easy to do here!"
Yup. She’s a fey in a humanoid world.
Sam riegel revealed that fcg is a homebrew cleric domain
It’s called empathy domain
Hopefully that’ll get released soon
Maybe
That was very brilliant.
I have a feeling i might end up crying nect live stream
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
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.
I say the odds of Travis being there next Thursday is low
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
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
He has an entire character already put together.
Matt could have had an NPC die the same way
He told Matt that he didn’t want this character to come in immediately. But Matt wanted him present for the first few games
What
So Travis offered up Bertrand to die
What even is your point
That I think travis wont be there for a few episodes
He will probably sit out one (or most of one) session
When Dorian came out and not travis... the chat went crazy
Hell definitely not be there for the opening. But I don’t think he’ll be out for more than an hour
I disagree, if its this prepared he will be, because remember when scanlan left
It was pretty toxic
Dorian is not gonna have the best time next game.
Him and Imogen both are gonna feel responsible
Change is always difficult. My top 4 are still there, so I am happy
Taliesin, Liam, Sam and Matt
I feel like they all will, i mean FCG is empathy personified they are gonna feel horrible
Ashton probably will be sad and try to seem unbothered and mention a metaphor
Everyone in episode one: Bertrand is a temporary character and is probably going to die
Everyone this episode: I can't believe Bertrand died
I was kinda hoping he would stick around, and just not level until the party caught up, or something
I thought we might see him for a couple more sessions so the party had a bit of time to get more attached
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)
https://youtu.be/g9yhSa7wVkg help him. lol
The team trying to communicate with Orym.
Got to get some Campaign 3 animatics out before all the good scenes are taken.
Campaign 3 Episode 2: Trial by Firelight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWOivwWvtt0
um
so I'm on the start of episode two rn and like
😭 I'm so confused as to what is laudna
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?
Unsettling Visage is a feature for the Hollow One supernatural gift
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
🤷
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
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)
I still personally do not see her as Hexblood at all. But 🤷
I’ve been looking at a calendar and next Thursday is the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the day of the signing of the armistice that ended world war 1. Sunday is also daylight savings. How will that effect Critical Role?
i don't believe they ever have taken it off
I believe the last time the eleventh was on a Thursday was in 2004
no, but they don't only post content on thursdays
Thursdays at 7:00 PM Pacific Time! Countdown timer and timezone conversion here! Watch live at http://www.twitch.tv/criticalrole or http://www.youtube.com/criticalrole
(also they pre-record it these days)
That is true
Most likely
I think so
It’s confirmed, v-human telekinetic feat
Laudna had spell sniper
They all seem to have a bonus feat /supernatural gift?
Those 2 are the only ones explicitly who have them
supernatural gift comes with the race choice, and variant human get free feat.
the rest of the stuff like ashton and FCG are predominantly homebrew stuff
Sam said that he wanted to play a healer but more like a therapist.. Matt did what Matt does
I'm not gonna read up due to spoilers as I'm watching the YT VOD, but just wanna say I love Ashley as Fearne. She's so much more vibrant than she was with Yasha and it's a joy to watch.
I like Yasha's quiet weirdness, but it's fun too see Ashley playing a more talkative character
I like seeing Ashley fully embracing the wierd.

You can also find all my links here: eran.geek.co.il/links
I sort of wanna do a top gear style "Tonight, person does X!" thing for each episode. I can make that a gimmick, it's not too late...
I just found an animatic for bertrands death with the song "you are my sunshine" fully crying
bertrand's death killed me
not as much as his constitution score did
And you didn't want to share it with the group? haha
I didnt know i can gimme a sec
I wanted Lieve'tel back but not like this D: Rest in peace old man.
yay! wounds
Our opening villain will not die well.
2 more days until we're brought to violent tears.
what's all this about 2 days?
Thursday
ahh
Tonight!
Stream was supposed to start by now...right? Or did DST throw things for a loop, again?
We're funny like that.
It’s started
There’s only the netherdeep preorder thing up, right?
Ah
what, 8 minutes now? hooweee
7 and 50 sec
bloodhunter? or proper werewolf
rogue
A rogue would make sense IF he was worried ahout filling the party
But as we have seen they are not
I wanna see Travis lose his shit over hitting sneak attacks
Which i like
I want him to go full paladin no multiclass
Or a sorcadin ahaha
Three sorcerers
He should play a Dhampir because vampires are cool
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
Maybe I should play a Dhampir because vampires are cool
I dont know if this group needs a rogue tho cuz i think they are going down the hero path
Which VM did too but idk
and so did M9
They messed up their first espionage without a rogue
rogues are not 'evil is mandatory'
But m9 weren’t necessarily true heroes
They were morally grey kinda
Where VM had a strong sense of morals and character
maybe Travis is gonna roll up with Fizban usage
1 minute
Time for sads
2 actually
I dont think so
1:40 now
no, it's at the very right
No lol
It's possible that Travis could do a Fizzy thing, but unlikely.
Since this character was already set before Fizzy
alright friends i'm not ready for today lol
My point exactly
No one is including cast
Happy CR day!
Happy cr day’
travis is at the table though interesting
Ooooo robbies hair
We on ad
It’s started
The box is massive
at the far right
The light change looks good
oh my lol
Forgive me if I missed something, but technically, wasn’t Bertrand just “unconscious”* at the end of last episode?
Correct
*with a couple lethal stab wounds alone in an alley
We just saw him metaphorically go into thr vortex
He is dead. Very dead.
It's ugly in that kinda cute way!
I love how the lightning is right now. lol
Is iit character from both campaigns on it?
We've got 1 goth group and 1 normal.
everyone is just shouting over eachother
Starting off chaotic
Yea, merch overload lol
Laura is just losing her shit and it is amazing
spaghetti everywhere
Boo still merch pitching.
Ooooo this intro
I think it’s Thursday night
100 thousand viewers
Time for cry
Oof. When will we have the new intro?
Just on Twitch.
alright, on twitch, no bar to be behind on, wth
Probably not til sometime we have travis’ character
Though idk that could just be it but we shall see
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.
And travis is going
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
Very that
148k viewers
Did you count YT? Does it give a count?
Twitch has 103 YouTube has 45
I wonder if they will see or find the body
I think that's some kind of record for a non-special event stream.
Starting out sounding very meta gamey
You had a dream like all the others - oh I definitely wake from it
Except it wasnt
Maybe we should check on him, after all isaw he was at peace
It was also a nightmare which she says she usualy wakes from
Good luck with the tenants.
i'm loving this
Liam is right
What did liam say
THIRTEEN NPCS GET THEM GOING or something
thirteen NPCs definitely
spaghetti is going everywhere
What does that mean
the situation is going from a smooth line to spaghetti
This is the exact reason my Warlock has Gaseous form
lol no we've been through this
Just mist into rooms.
well, they're only 3rd level
gas is a 3rd level spell for 5th level characters
also, multiclass delays their progression
Only for Laudna, but yea. Still such a nice spell for B/E
ah yes property damage
Lol
everything is right in the world lol
pet
Mister
ah, wildfire druid right?
it's her spirt part of the wildfire subclass
Yes
such a good boy
Such
She doesn't always remember that she has him, unfortunately.
poor dorian is going to be holding on to this for a while i can tell
Core aspect of your entire subclass < Turn into snake
Yeah thats the only annoying thing about 5e so many things to remember

Oh nu
🤭
oh fearne my beloved
Fearnie
Yes Fearne. Typically people take issue when suggesting to leave friends on the ground.
I just finished E3. Bertie is dead?!
Yes
weekend at bertie's
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
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
Which is presumably tonight.
Omg travis
Travis didn’t know when Matt would end Bertrand. So, presumably tonight we meet the actual character he made
going back to my previous prediction/hope travis will play a wizzard
Maybe estaross introduces them
Ooo that would be amazing
Wizard rogue multiclass
Jk
I’m torn because I want him to be Bertrand/Lieve’tel’s kid. Also vengeance Paladin.
No one will ever play a kid
She ate his peanuts? lol
Not for a main campaign
full blown palidin was my second guess
the kid would be an adult right?
Yes
I"m not familiar with C2
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
But what i mean is they would never play a child of another character
C1. mb
Unless its a oneshot
I've only gotten to C1E9
This reminds me of when you have a nightmare and tell your parents and beg them to let you sleep with them
yeah
Will Travis’s new character be back for revenge for Bertrand’s death?
Doubt it
that's one way to spin it
nah it's going to be like cad no relevant relation to the previous character
Word hasnt even gotten out yet
That’s true
It is very rare that characters are related to other characters past, the only one that defies this is orym
Having relations to keyleth
and it was very minimal at that only being from her tribe and nothing else
Yeah
Well wasnt he a bodyguard for her?
I was about to ask if he was from her tribe. She was an Earth Gensai?
No
Air
I know she was a druid
Half elf from the air ashari
I don't think I've caught her racial type yet
Keyleth was a half elf
that I knew. I didn't know she was half air gensai. I don't think that's mentioned by C1E10 is it?
No shes not
Air ashari is a tribe
Was someone’s find my phone alarm going off?
A druidic tribe
I gotta start from about 50 minutes behind everyone else because of work. 😢
Idk
Not much happened, imogen woke from her dream, and her and laudna went to his room and grabbed the others they found him and brought him to mr E
Is it possible Laura is Bertrand's daughter?
Not at all
@stoic leaf I'm starting from the beginning. God bless Twitch
Ah sorry
No worries, but now I'm going away from the chat :p
I only watch this chat
Oh that hit me hard ❤️
same
Well, it is the spoilers chat.
It really didn't hit me hard because I knew all of this was going to happen.
yeah
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
Matt said it was bertrand
She sensed him die
I have a feeling it's due to her subclass
Aberrant Mind. Or atleast something similar.
yeah it's aberrant mind
i forgot I had Prime. starting at the beginning
Just now noticed Laura found a yellow scarf for herself lol
Im thinking that she was born aberrant mind
I missed the character cosplay OP
Its one of the CR pet ones
Thats a good point orym, this was a bonding moment, albeit a very sad one
Sleepings for the dead love it
I love her lol
Me too
If only Laudna was 3rd level warlock. She'd have Spider Climb to help her fix the ceiling.
Im interested to see how a conversation about how dorian feels about the situation goes with fcg
And give Orym and Dorian more nightmares
And travis’ new character in the shadows
the fan art would be glorious
😄 Smiley day to ya
Ashton is the friend who gets the group starbies
Ashton is the best. Make friends? BRING FOOD
Breakfast sandwiches sound great
FCG being a therapist
Was just gonna say that
Still wanna know whether or not that brain lens of Ashton's is just aesthetic or backstory.
Sam doesn’t seem to know what to do
He doesnt
baby mister
What was that
Marisha’s physical acting is great
I love this group
All this talk of food is making me hungry, I’m going to eat something
You got this imogen!
I need to get better at getting a name when my PCs ask for names like that
Mood
Countless generators for countless names. Some say it's the best fantasy name generator site around, which is very humbling to hear.
right, Fearne is a satyr
Renamed as a Faun.
Yup
always has been ahaha
Satyrs are only male in greek mythos
Classy imogen ahaha
I know. I need to do that thing Matt suggusts where you get a list of names before your session
Yet?
What are you planning, Marisha?
Still putting down money for Laudna going Talisman pact, with Pate.
The faces she made
Animate dead 👀
Pact of the chain maybe?
Probably chain
Also an option.
I think that marisha liked frumpkin so would make sense
Lol the coin is awesome.
frumpkin was the best boy]
Simon 😄
Dorian looks so beat up at finding Bell
Oh he is
(sorry, i'm a bit behind yall)
they searching the hole in the Weary Way?
Yes
cool
Do you know what else is dropping?
The viewer count
Lol I love that coin
Well yeah cuz they were only there for the reaction to bertrands death
Do you guys think that could go to the underdark?
It sounded like it goes all the way to the base of the spire.
Oh true i forgot these are spires
Idk how tall it is, but that's a quarter of a mile drop.
I saw in chat that it would have dropped for 37 seconds
Fearne…. The wind doesn’t do that here lol
Yes! Have the druid jump of the massive cliff
Yep. Fell to the base
is she dead?
No
Maybe travis’ character knows about their predicament
Like knows a lot about shadecreepers
maybe hes a swarmkeeper ranger
I would love a ranger
As long as he uses hunter’s mark I’m fine
Mark you mean?
Ikr
Have they gotten to break yet?
No
No
We have about 9 mins
Cool, I might catch up by break time then
Break is at 2.5 hours.
I'm at 1:55 now watching at 2x speed so I'll be caught up by then
We're at 1:55 now.
^ Gotta remember the 15 minute pre-show reel
I’m at 2:11
Always confusing.
Man, Matt could do a fantastic Sharn-centric Eberron campaign if he ever wanted to do a Not-His-Own-Setting campaign
Wah, stream died.
Dugger the sallow dwarf
Dugger the Duergar
Not a duergar
Yeah they are darker, more on the grey side and they arent always gaunt
Ashton is throwing around money today
Yup
They sound like duergar. But we'll see.
There's a Fey creature that looks like a dwarf that I looked up last week but I can't remember what it was
Fomorian?
Dantalolum ?
Break time
Is travis absent for this episode?
We dont know yet hut atm yes
Ok thanks
Travis come back
Yw
pls
Nah, not Datanlolum
Travis is atleast on set.
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?
I have a feeling Mr. E is going to feel bad after the death and his morning was spent finding them a new person
Oh, Spriggan
They're more gnomish than dwarvish, but they are thick-bodied for a gnome
Sam must be prevented from doing ads going forward.
Between this and the "I love" ad... stop him
SPONSOR MEEEE
Ok, the stat card change there got me lol
Matt just describing a character, as the sheet falls away to Fearne's.
Oh? Body snatcher?
Discussing sending his body back to Vox Machina ;_;
😄 Kiki! Want a body
Give Laudna 3 more levels and she can chat with the dead
Yea, 10/10, Vex is the most powerful ruler of Vox Machina.
Yepyepyep
No question.
lol
I dont wanna wait for our lives to be OVAHH
Those new microphones are pretty good, huh?
They pick up SO much
Marisha dancing suggestively to "Follow the curvature"
Anyone know if CR has commented on what dice tray they use? Or is it custom for their game?
Gosh darn it sam
For the most part its wyrmwood
Hrm. ok. I would love to find a similar tray
True
They kinda costly
I have a December bday. I get to pool my bday/Cmas money. I can usually afford big stuff
Thanks Dyno!
The cheapest personal tray is $81
"Wur stir shur"
lmao
Nah, the "Worcester" part is just Wuh stir. The first R isn't pronounced at all.
Omg fearne
really? I've been saying it wrong this whole time
ashley is killing me
Perks of being deaf i g
Same my stomach hurts
It's a weird Northeasterner thing.
Also, Fearne is hands down the best.
Ya like jazz ? 🐝
Ashton? Fair
It really is
Us northeasterners have a lot of weird names like fluffernutter
"fool of a took!" EXACTLY what I thought of immediately
New Betting Pool: Travis' new character appears at the final seconds of this episode.
Or better yet, not at all
Travis will pop up at the end saying "COME ON GUYS! HOW CAN YOU KEEP WALKING PAST ME?!"
i have a feeling he won't show up until after christmas break
If hes meant to be in this episode then matt will make it happen
I doubt that, thats too much
Got one hour left
he's probably doing CEO stuff
On Thursday night?
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.
Body guard!
WHAT DID LAURA JUST SHOW ASHLEY
When was that
a guest in cr 2
Sumalee IIRC
Well they also had a guest they could of had but didnt
Because they didnt go a certain metaphorical path
Oshad Breshio / The Anger = Travis' actual character?
I though they were two people?
He just said "Also known to some as"
Oh im half awake
Previous interaction definitely seemed like two separate entities
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.
that would be a bummer
Ooo wait ashton works with the corsair? Orrrr
now that i think about it my new guess is travis will be back by the end of the month
wooo stih sure.
If not today then next session
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?
Oshaud and the anger are the same person, they are a bodyguard
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.
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
Orym's looking for someone called "The Anger"
Dont think we know
I don't remember anything about "The Envy"
Yea
that's new iirc
@burnt badger Yeah, Pate de Rolo
Laudna is gonna be to blame if construct monstrosities take over
Because "he's about as useful as a de Rolo"
i'm ok with that percy was very useful lol
Pate de Rolo is the dead rat puppet wearing a raven skull
Its a joke because hes about as good as dead because she doesnt know percy is alive
Didn't.
She does now
but yeah i forgot about the joke lol
Frequent Spire Miles
Jester would not survive this man
Ephred the Shadow Baker
Mannnn when she said "I'll give you something in return" I could've sworn she was about to say "Have a Werther's Original"
Ahahagah
YOU OFFEND THE MAN, ORYM
Ooo ashton speaks marquesian
About half of them do, which is nice.
Pie is a great way to use loose bits of stuff. Now a muffin? That's where you get good pastry. lol
...the bird is named Heron...
I'm sorry, what range? Wow
Probably miles equal to proficiency?
Oh nvm
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.
...Laudna is the only one with darkvision?!
Nice little level of Shadow Sorc
Travis’ character HAS to come in there
Nahhh
Its legit 30 people
Time to murder a bunch of commoners
Awe
You know very well they aint commoners
30 vs 7 is a lot
Yea, that's an uphill run, even with everyone at their best.
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
…and such, we anchored Bertrand into the story and watched where things went! Do not fret… Travis will return in the near future with his “true” C3 character, and it is gonna be a BLAST to see the paths collide! (4/4)

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.
Shadow Baker
am I the one who remembered Shadow Broker at this moment?
*who
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
Why? That's a lot of time for Matt to sideline him
Considering there's no episode on the 25th, not really
It's 3 whole sessions.
Wasn't Tal out for that long?
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.
He is the CEO now... he may not come back
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
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
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"
Soon
