Dammit, unsatisfying end to that battle 😩

Hey, at least he didn't use the mage to do literally any AOE and kill off Jester. I don't think they could even revivify her yet.

They don't need the fork to Plane Shift. Scanlan can cast Wish, which has no components and explicitly says copied spells don't need them.

Yeah, the martial classes really were the ones shining. I at first thought the boss was probably a bit too strong, but it was really just the way those three grouped up and that fact Pike never healed anyone that caused the guest characters (who were much weaker) to go down. Grog + Percy + Vex absolutely melted. Even Keyleth was a bit weak but only because she turned into a Goristro instead of something like a Pit Fiend.

If they can, I'd love to see the miniseries get a score by Justin Bell (the guy who did the Pillars of Eternity soundtrack), his song "Twin Elms" is one of the most iconic things of the show.

I think episode 27 was just the point where it all boiled over. Honestly he wasn't bad for the first 5 or 6 episodes, in fact he was kind of my favorite right off the bat. He did start to get pretty lovely after that though. I recall many times in the underdark ark where was wanted to use telekinesis for the craziest poo poo.

Poor Ashley, took a really weak feat at 8 and a redundant feat at 4. She's got such weak stats that mean those ASIs were really important to her. If she took +3 STR and +1 DEX she'd have a slightly better AC and would be hitting much more often.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but they kept calling it a devil toad so it's probably unrelated.

Incidentally, I've located the possession demon. It's called a dybbuk, and it turns out Mercer was cheating a bit since they can only possess Large or smaller creatures (stone giants are Huge) and the turning should have worked since their type becomes Undead during the possession.

It seemed to me like he justified the dybukk not being affected because it was immune to fear effects.

I’m watching the end of the original Avengers right now, and I had totally forgotten that Ashley has a bit part (although as a Critter I choose to view it as a cameo). Obviously she only has like 2 lines, but that’s still awesome; Marvel is about as high profile as you can get.

She had some scenes cut, and had a slightly bigger role. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhV6QZfbcs0

Wow, I would've expected the thing to make Critical Role would've been something like the cast's schedules making the show unfeasible to film. Never expected a Wendy's one shot would cause this much drama.

This seems like more drama than when Orion left the show.

If Matt truly doesn't throw the party a way out easily, they actually can get out of this if Matt does level the party up a bend the rules just a little bit. https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/word-of-recall could get them out, if Matt rules that Cad has his "sanctuary" set as his home cemetery by default.

credit to the party for at no point fireballing anyone during diplomacy, they've come a long ways

my new take is that trent is a garden-variety evil scientist-archmage but da'leth is the more dangerous one

Yeah, I have no idea what is angle is. I first figured he actually wasn't all that bad and Trent was planning a coup or something within the Assembly. My current theory maybe Da'leth is actually planning a coup within the empire and using the war/cult as a distraction. Everything just seems too convenient for him.

I went with celestial pact of the blade warlock, having a lot of fun with it. The tricky part of Celestial is I think not making the patron completely boring, since they're going to be Objectively Good unless you're getting some real leeway. Seems fun to give a non-good character, though, or just have a real clash of personalities. My character's patron is an extremely judgmental unicorn.

The big problem I have with Celestial Warlocks is that they don't get an expanded of different spell list outside the small selection from the pact. So you have a goody two shoes patron teaching you wild poo poo like Crown of Madness or Bestow Curse.

Of course, if you did something like Divine Soul Sorcerer where you gave them the Cleric spell list, they'd be super busted because the selection is so huge.

This dude is one of the insane shitstirrers that always leak out of the woodwork on Twitter. Insane people who want to redirect legitimate conversations about these kind of topics onto themselves. They're not too unlike the insane Trumpers who like to invent victim complexes to "prove" Hillary ran a pedo ring out of a pizza shop. Usually they are noticeable when they focus entirely on themselves in the narrative - rather than facts, examples, or what actually happened. Not a surprise he really could only grasp at straws for all his examples. It's a shame, because if/when (not even necessarily at CR) real issues crop up, these assholes will be in the back of people's minds creating doubt.

This has to be an excuse to do the crossover they (promised?) to do. If they do it, I'd love to see fully powered VM squash Vokodo. There's no way they set up the Keyleth hook and don't have at least her show up.
