#arrival at kraghammer

Greyspine: Okay, you brought me a drink. You have my attention. What brings you to the mines?”

Scanlan: We…should have talked this through before. 🎶

Percy: Well, several things actually. Several things bring us to the mine. My name, of course, is Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III.

Grog, Vax, Vex, Keyleth, Tiberius: You can call him Percy!

Restarting Arrival At Kraghammer is like an emotional fleecy blanket.

percy saying “my name is percival fredrickstein von musel klossowski de rolo the third–” and tiberius and scanlan saying in unison “you can call him percy.” 😂

Critical Role: Campaign 1, episode 1: Arrival at Kraghammer rewatch (Part 3)

Live commenting on Twitter somehow seems easier than commenting on Tumblr for some reason.

Rooms are negotiated. “I was told there would be no math.” Grog shows off his scar in the middle of his chest (possibly from his near death experience that Pike saved him from?). His drinking dwarven buddies love it, although Adra the owner of the bar is a little more taken aback.

There was a halfling a few weeks back who got into some fights who was staying at the Firebrook Inn. “I like that one.”

The champion fighter Balgus is asleep drunk.  LIAM: “Save it for a rainy day.” TRAVIS:  “Does it rain down here?” TALIESIN:  “I don’t think they have rainy days.”

I just noticed Gil in chat is complimenting that Matt actually has a stein. (Everyone else is drinking out of bottled waters this first episode). I’m so glad that they got rid of chat in the videos but there are some interesting historical artifacts in them when you pay attention.

Something is going on down in the mines and caves. Goblins...Sam/Scanlan becomes intent, but also something more...

“that is not...what it’s called”

matt’s about to throw down

SAM: I might as well try one of the doors that's locked, and see if I can pick it, but I'm not good at that, so I'll try.

MATT: Okay. Do you have on your person any sort of thieves' tools?

SAM: I have a forgery kit, a poisoner's kit--

MARISHA: Forge some thieves' tools real quick.

SAM: Climbing gear? And a whip.

LIAM: Matt, I have one of the earrings, and I say: Scanlan, what exactly is the purpose for this little escapade, and will it be ending shortly?

SAM: Can I reply?

MATT: You can, through the message-based ear enchantment.

SAM: Just trust me that I have no idea what I'm doing.

Episode 1: Arrival at Kraghammer

-can you fuckin imagine the expression on Vax, party-rogue's face when he watches the dumbass gnome turn invisible and wander into the back rooms of the mansion, without any apparent means of getting further

-overall I liked Scanlan a lot more than I thought I would, I think because his player is willing to let him fail instead of making him a vehicle for snappy oneliners. Also I love a bard who can accidentally end up doing the most damage in the party

-"how about we just say we're brother and sister, creepy?" Is a wholeass sibling mood

-Percy is a very sweet boy

Me: *Decides to listen to cr campaign one from the beginning on a walk tonight.

Orion Acaba: *speaks*

Me: ugh.

One thing I just caught was Beau was from Kamorda (mentioned in the Labenda Swamp fighting the Gators).  I thought this sounded familiar and remembered that it was actually mentioned in Campaign 1 when they are speaking with Balgus about his wine.  He mentions “ thistle branch, darkblood wine”.  We know that Beau’s family are winemakers so I kinda wonder if he acquired the thistle from Beau’s family.  Nothing ground breaking, just a connection i noticed.

Man: Not very often we get visitors with that kind of mug. Let me buy you a drink!

Grog: My kind of people!

Critical Role Episode 1: Arrival at Kraghammer

I started watching Critical Role a few months ago, mostly ‘best of’ compilations or picking random timestamps, then began watching live around ep 105. I finally decided a couple of days ago that I want to start from the beginning. (I have seen very few moments from episodes 1 - 25). I don’t know how committed I am to actually completing this, but I just wanted to make posts for myself noting with timestamps my favorite moments, or whatever I find funny or interesting, so that I can go back and find them whenever I want.

Critical Role: Campaign 1, episode 1: Arrival at Kraghammer rewatch (Part 4)

“What time of day is it?” No one knows, but it’s probably early evening.

Grog tries to sweet talk Balgus by waking him up with Scanlan’s help. Vex whispers frantically: “Lost cause. Lost cause. Abandon ship!”

ICONIC line: “I have an intelligence of six, I know what I’m doing!”
