Matt has gotten better at making his NPC names impervious to jokes. This is not a good thing

I rly can't get over laudna in the last episode fr

Shes always struck me as looking for a kindred spirit, someone who can relate to her very specific life death experience, like she has Imogen and the other hells and they are all misfits and have their own things in common but its not the same

It really felt like she was hoping to relate to the skeleton crew (heh...skeleton crew...thats a pun) but was confused and disappointed when they...didn't really share her feelings about undeath

Shes often so bubbly and enthused about her death and the things that came with it but everytime we get a crack under the surface I go crazy, the only way she can survive it is to embrace it but it's a curse, she called it a curse and of course it would be, especially when she didn't choose it, and to me it feels like she's desperate to find someone who can understand fundamentally what it's like to be what she is. Especially after Issylra and FCG's couple of turn undead spells. I don't think you could help feeling wrong after stuff like that happens

I'm a little confused. A lot of critters say that the gods have it out for Laudna specifically, and I can't find where that idea comes from? Like the closest thing I found is that she's a Hollow One and things that affect undead are usually holy/divine. But that doesn't mean that the gods hate Laudna or that Laudna's suffering is because of the gods, right? (I'm a little scared of those Laudna stans tbh)

If I had to guess where it comes from, it, like the similarly inaccurate statements people make about Ruidusborn, comes from the longstanding tendency by the uncreative, dull, and whiny to make their blorbo the most wronged little lamb who ever lived.

Clerics mechanically get Turn Undead as an ability, which affects Laudna, because she is undead. I do want to point out that Marisha specifically chose to make Laudna more undead than Hollow Ones typically are mechanically, ie, our boy Jumanji Costco would be fine in the face of Turn Undead; and that area of effect abilities such as turn undead are not what I'd consider "targeted", ie, if Imogen were to cast Reverse Gravity in an area containing other members of Bells Hells, and they became affected by the spell, I would not say this was Predathos having it out for Bells Hells specifically. I'd also note that a spell that literally creates undead, Animate Dead, is a general cleric spell. A loyal level 5 cleric of the Dawnfather has the capacity to have a pet zombie. Is this the greatest use of their abilities, probably not, and will their god provide them with consequences, possibly, but it sure is a thing they can do, so I think the gods on the whole are really up in the air re the whole undead thing. I also think that we need to acknowledge that within the text, at this point Laudna's met four divine champions, two of them have quite literally contributed to her continued undeath in significant ways, and the other two of whom have been like "yeah we are on the same side, politics, strange bedfellows, etc, etc, I'm frankly way more interested in Fearne."

One can argue Laudna's suffering is because of the god Vecna, though as a point of order the main portions of her initial suffering occurred prior to him achieving godhood, so really, it was the lich (undead) Vecna and the necromancer (currently undead) Delilah Briarwood who seem to be largely at fault. Undead are merely a classification of entity. Just as using Turn Undead against a horde of undead may result in Laudna being turned as well, if one were to cast Moonbeam on some hostile shapeshifter, Chetney would also be affected. As Gilmore as played by Aabria said, power is simply power; intent comes from the wielder. Someone could use Turn Undead specifically against Laudna; someone could also use powers from the gods to heal, buff, or resurrect her. I doubt the Raven Queen is like, jazzed and hype about Laudna, but her specific tenet is "Undeath is an atrocity. Death is too good a punishment for those who pervert the rightful transition of the soul" and Delilah seems to be the one causing the soul transition perversions.

I suppose one could argue Laudna's suffering is the result of the gods in the same way that if I were injured by a window box air conditioner falling five stories onto my foot, while both gravity and the fact my parents decided to have children contributed significantly to this moment, no one who was not embarrassingly unserious and extremely fucking stupid would put these things forth as the culprit in this hypothetical.

Do not be afraid of the Laudna stans. Either they're lovely people who just really like Laudna and are talking about her character arc or making art or something and agree this is a terrible take, or they are, as said, embarassingly unserious, extremely fucking stupid, uncreative, dull, and whiny. I can provide tips to avoid them or to annoy them as you wish but like, is it even worth bothering with the latter.

[ofsinnersandsaints]

For the fjorester wedding one shot I demand the return of Jumanji Costco

[demenior]

hi! do you have a favorite lesser villain / group / minor character from C2 not listed in your DCL that you would like to see humbled in some way OR have their motivations explored further? (this is for wildflowers, a handful of names would be fine!)

Gosh I'm trying to think of who would even count as a minor character...

Off the dome, I have no beef with anyone in particular.

Of the C2 characters I do like (and I may list people that we might not consider minor, feel free to ignore) that I would love to see more of: Pumat Sol, Darrow!!! 💕, Marius, Jimedi (Jumanji Costco lol). Gelidon. I'm sure he's on my DCL but Sabian absolutely fits here (tho technically he never appeared in campaign so idk if he counts)

Basically any wizard character could use a humbling lol. (Yussa, Halas, etc)

I'm assuming these are all considered major antagonists but: Avantika and her crew my beloved. Undead Avantika my beloved. Everything about the pirate arc is my favorite. The TombTakers and their parallels to the Mighty Nein were fantastic. The laughing hand and everything about him my horrific beloved.

Please let me know if you need any more info! ☺️

[fjord-mustang]

Every now and then I think about Jumanji Costco and wonder what the fuck was up with his undead thing?

[strwpup]

today on thinking about how much molly would’ve thrived in the pirate arc:

molly would’ve known pretty quick that jumanji costco was undead right?

like cad has channel divinty: vibe check, but molly had proficiency in tracking and detecting undead

what would he have done with that information? how would that whole island have played out?

[justalittlebluetiefling]

Jamedi Cosko I miss you

[weaseltotheface]

Laudna deserves to meet another hollow one

What is jumanji costco up to these days

Me, reading the Explorers Guide To Wildemount section about Hollow Ones: JUMANJI COSTCO

[handbellanon]

Avocado and Jumanji Costco...it's all coming together

[criticalrolenpctournament]

NAMES POLL: ROUND 2, POLL 1

Why it's funny:

Jamedi: Jumanji Costco

Culpasi: Coooold Pussy

[fragilefears]

Oh hey... so, following a rabbit hole of link-clicking - that began with reading about different schools of wizard magic in D&D, and somehow lead me to the Critical Role fandom wiki for Jumanji Costco Jamedi Cosko ...

And would you look at this?

He follows that statement to Jester with asking her how far north she has traveled outside the empire... which makes me wonder if this has anything to do with recently-more-relevant excavation sites in the “Biting North” and begs the question if whatever gives him his rather Undead Vibe is connect with this excavations too?

I have so much damn curiosity about what Vess is doing in the North and what the Nein will be facing as Caleb tries to obtain a power source for his anti-mageTrent collar.

[picturefirelizards]

I got the explorer’s guide to wildemount and I finally know what the fuck was up with Jamedi Cosko so now I can rest easy
