Marisha: "I would just bamf back" Matt: "and any additional damage would go over" Marisha: "yeah I know" Matt: "you ded" Marisha: "im dead? Instead of bamfing back?" Dense as the rock she hit.
The best few seconds is from the moment she realizes she's dead until the moment Matt clarifies that she can be brought back to life. Marisha's ego crumbling 😂
I just had to come back to this. I still think abt this scene. I think of this whenever I read abt a cliff, see a cliff, see a photo of a cliff. This was AMAZING. Marisha and therefore Keyleith is a legend. 🫡. One of the best scenes of Campaign 1. Fight me on that
Vex: "Yeaaahhh, there's a treasure down heeere! Can you swim and get it for me!" Kay: "YEAH! Oh, yeah! I'll be right downnn!" (One Tennessee) (Two Tennessee) (Three Tennessee) BAM! Druid faceplants into the ground beside Vex. Vex: morale check to stop from screaming uncontrollably
7:19 "Don't touch my dice in anger." -- That's friends for life, right there. Anything less, and it would have been "DON'T TOUCH MY DICE!" {disemboweling noises}
I do not know Travis Willingham. I will probably never meet Travis Willingham. The deranged cackle of Travis Willingham at "scatter of red mess" makes me want to face my next morning. sometimes that's all it takes
Matt's great but in theory she should have slowed down after turning into a fish because she's not falling in a vacuum. It def would have hurt but it shouldn't have killed her
of all the vox machina members that could have survived jumping off a 1000+ ft cliff, the one who could turn into a flying creature would definitely have been my first choice. and yet
My brother did something similar. Huge underground lake and he was next to the wall of the cave. He decides to climb. He makes every one of his checks. I had him check against the slipperiness of the rock, the lack of jagged edges, Constitution checks for climbing for two hours, plus increased difficulty as the cave wall started to curve over the lake. He looks down and I say, "all you see is inky blackness." He says, "well the water's got to be down there somewhere," and jumps off the wall. Two hours will get you a good thousand feet at least, so I rolled a couple of fistfuls of dice, did some calculus, and gave him the final damage ("halved of course, since you hit the water".) It was a Wiley Coyote moment. "You splat face first against the smooth surface of the lake, then slowly sink into it." His defense: "You didn't say it was that high."
Marisha kinda pissed me off in this moment. She was was trying to make it like it wasn't her fault that she decided to do a stupid move and died because of it.
Accidentally spoiled this for myself by searching fall damage mid session as I'm falling 6000 feet into a valley 😂 I panick cast earthbind just before I hit the ground and my DM allowed it because it says the target is moved safely to the ground and I was technically airborne 🤣
I understand that this was six years ago and everything turned out fine. But Why, of all the possible avian creatures in the World that are available to safely fly away, would you choose to turn into a Fish?
Marisha is an idiot and a terrible roleplayer. Why would she not shapeshift into a bird? I just cannot believe how dumb she is. Matt was VERY lenient in saying she still had a body. She should have been pink mist.
Revivify doesn't have a hit point limit, but the spell description _does_ say it cannot restore missing body parts, and a fall like that certainly would have mutilated the body. I think Matt let it go because everyone knew it was a stupid mistake and they had a fun way to RP out of it.
@@katherinelikesstuff I get your point, but at that time - relatively early in Critical Role's popularity, less than two years since the beginning of the stream - he was getting a ton of grief from viewers re: the "Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend" trope. He and Marisha are both still sensitive about it, to this day. So he had to make it at least somewhat credible…
He should have made her die for the metagamy "we are basically gods" and the arrogance... but that's expecting too much. Also, kinda fitting that the group bimbo dies in a most meningless bimbo-style way rather than in a meaningful struggle over a mighty enemy.
