It's been a long day, but now it's time for some . . . #CriticalRole!

Sam: **says he's gonna make Ashley sing the D&D Beyond song with no forewarning or practice**
My Co-watcher: Bye!

#CriticalRole

(Speaking as a singer, the chorus is /much/ easier to find the melody to than the verses, but like most songs, we kick off with the verses, soooo . . .)

#CriticalRole

. . . I know this isn't what Matt said, but I absolutely heard monkey espionage. :D

#CriticalRole

Jester: 'o shi- I left my agoraphobic mom at the party-'

#CriticalRole

Essik: "History is full of people who have not paid for their sins."

#CriticalRole

Gods, listening to Caleb and Essik is like watching mirror images.

#CriticalRole

Caleb: "Make no mistake, we do not trust you."
Essik: "Good. It will help you survive."

#CriticalRole

"We should probably discuss that. Make a plan . . . that we definitely will not follow." - Beau

#CriticalRole

Listening to Caduceus say he won't stand by & watch vengeance wreaked but if /someone smarter than him/ can point out a safe way to do it . . .

. . . this sounds like /Tal/ hinting at the fact that /he/ knows of a way to (secrecy & assassins, etc.), but Cad can't.

#CriticalRole

(i.e.: his inner Percy is showing, but that ISN'T who Caduceus is)

#CriticalRole

Also, Caduceus is serving up some therapeutic REALNESS. The thing he was trying to talk Caleb through is 100% a clinical mental health counseling technique. So interesting to see it in D&D.

#CriticalRole

Fjord has the pained face of Guess Culture clashes, ahahahahaha

#CriticalRole

Awwwww, I think Fjord/Travis is leading Jester down the garden path of chatting before they regroup. <3

#CriticalRole

OH NO, Veth's gone all Frankenstein's Monster Lawyer in her return Message conversation XD

#CriticalRole

No, but seriously, Fjord is 110% trying to get 1:1 time with Jester.

110%.

#CriticalRole

It is aMAZing how fast a Game of Telephone happens with this group of seven people, even when /almost all of them are there/

#CriticalRole

One Veth at a time

#CriticalRole

On a more interesting note, it's /really/ interesting to listen to the group talk about short v. long-term impact of the two nations' actions, the value of vengeance, etc.

#CriticalRole

The fascination of the group re: what it's like to be in the Vault of Amber.

"You have a very forward sense of branding, Caleb." - Beau
Do I? I'm not using my real name." -Caleb

#CriticalRole

Widogast's nacho combos.

. . .

#CriticalRole

Speaking strictly on a lore level: There's actually something kind of cool about having a series of tweaked or higher-end spells named after a wizard . . .

. . . none of which are his real name.

It's kind of like a spellcraft pen name.

#CriticalRole

I want a set of Jester's Tarot SO BADLY

#CriticalRole

Realistic adult conversations! Here, on #CriticalRole

YEZA AND VETH ARE THE EFFING CUTEST

#CriticalRole

BOAT TIME

#CriticalRole

WOW, Beau doesn't know how to respond to late teen punk kid with just as much attitude as Beau has

#CriticalRole

**Caduceus gives Beau the fan**

Me: Oh NO-

#CriticalRole

"The Mighty Nein does not like animals." - Liam

XD

#CriticalRole

Hot Take: Veth's primary love language is Physical Touch, and second is probably Words of Affirmation.

#CriticalRole

"This is a glowing example!" - Beau
"I cast Dancing Lights around Beauregard." - Caleb

#CriticalRole

Ooh, Conjuration/Transmutation.

#CriticalRole

From a Natural 1 to a 26?! Was that right?

#CriticalRole

Okay, now that I know what's in the box, I'm going to sleep. It's late in this time zone. Don't forget to love each other. <3
