his spidey senses are tingling

ID and (better quality) stills under the cut!

[ID: An illustrated gif of Orym of the Air Ashari from Critical Role. He is standing in front of the red moon, Ruidus, and its red storm. He is hurt and clutching his bleeding  sword arm with his other hand. He’s leaning slightly to the left, as if listening to something, and his eyes open to stare at the viewer after green squiggles indicate that he noticed something. End ID.]

OKOKO SOOO

Uh this session was a weird one due to the fact our dm was stressing out :[ so take what happened in this session with a grain of salt

We all ran from the demon angel child who is a sadist btw. And we split up, with Micha, who is one of our party members, a aasmiar paladin who isn’t the sharpest tool in the box, hiding under a rock.

Vansel and Ozzie ran off and Ozzie was approached by a bounty hunter who was in the competition and asked if he could kill Ozzie. and Vansel responded with ‘kinky.’

Also turns out that when people die in the competition, they are sent to a waiting room. And you never actually die, you just feel the pain of your head exploding (which is what happens when you get caught by the angel) Two of our party members have died and sent to the waiting room, Scarlet and Sebastian and they are now just sitting there lmao.

Fun fact: Vansel got to sing Shakira in the competition. idk why.

SO YEAH! :]

YAYYY DND UPDATE!!! (i have not played in like a year so i am living vicariously heehee)

first off i’m sorry to hear about your dm :( i hope they get some rest and feel better soon!

splitting of the party woop woop!!! we love the overlapping plotline possibilities heehee

also! i love the concept of like. the purgatory waiting room! that’s a great way to keep up the tension without risking an actual tpk! i wonder if there’s some deep dark secret there…..?

also with vansel singing shakira: we love dnd characters making pop culture references /gen it reminds me of my campaign (the one w leonora!) where our warlock failed a stealth check and turned it into a performance check and just started reciting the ATLA intro lmao (it worked, in case you were curious! the rest of us managed to sneak by and he was able to convince everyone to go get shitfaced so we could rob them)

ahhh that was long but i love your updates!!! glad you got to play a session today :D

Eleven things I noted about CR2E87 “Punishment and Politics” and the Talks Machina about it :

During Sam's ad (NordVPN), Taliesin was mouthing 'help', then tapping with his fingers on the table what I can only assume is Morse code for "SOS" or "HELP"

This fight was TENSE. Because Obann the Punished was a new form, so it got all of its hitpoints, and it had many. But the Nein were at half health globally, I think, and the casters were starting to not have many choices. And though the Cadogeist came back to help (Matt's meta way of helping his players because in game Caduceus didn't roll that great at persuasion), it was life or death at one point. In moments like these I'm glad to watch wayyyyyyy after the ending, because in meta I know that this is not a TPK.

Marisha, when Beau and Jester are uncounscious, and Caduceus is inside the monster : "...I was literally just talking about how I don't have a backup character anymore." Travis then (jokingly) strikes her from the side for saying such things ! (sidenote interesting, because it means Hazel Copperpot was the backup ? How fun to imagine her with this bunch !!)

Matt, resigned, as the Cadogeist kills Obann, and his friends are shouting at him to do the thing : "... How do I want to do this ?" Yayyy !! This is so great !

Oh my god, if Pumat had been dead, I would've killed everyone in this room and then myself.

ARE THEY MEETING THE KING ? They are, aren't they. Oh no. They're not prepared at all.

Yasha, who has missed quite a bunch, to Fjord : "Why are you speaking so differently ?" Sam, quick as lightning : "He got kicked by a donkey in Zadash. Messed up his whole head !" Matt just spit out his drink at that.

The Mighty Nein *reluctant but give their weapons up* Jester : *just give all of her weapons, her shield, her golden orc mask, her hair hoil, and even tries to put Sprinkle the weasel there, like it's a weird garage sale*

For the first 30 minutes of Talks, Marisha and Taliesin answers questions while trying to figure out why the Hannukah moose puppet has a battery, and what is its purpose.

"Nothing worse than a punk turned into a cop, man."

Oh shit !! Beau did use Jester's family name, Lavorre, in front of Trent ! Apparently Marisha didn't realize in the game (and neither did I), but live on this episode of Talks when a question about it was asked. WOOPS.
