Bell's Hells Gets TOXIC☣️- Hemsworth's Witcher Look Leaks! - D&D Alt Players Handbook! 

that's a good way to stop having them come in as guests. Be better

Oh, we LOVE the toxic nature of this. Things being perfect is boring, this opens up so many awesome doors and potentially amazing choices down the road!

yeah, won't be the first time that people comes for Marisha x'D poor girl x'D but she just gives a fuck and keep playing :P

And not they shared a photo of Liam & Marisha looking very happy

@Chilliconkanye super cool comment bro.

@@cooperalt7980 thanks man

This was not "Toxic" fans, this was the normal fan group getting very concerned...concerns that were shared out loud by LAURA BAILEY at the end of the episode when she accused Laudna of gaslighting and lying to her.

@@TheCharacterSheet I think what he means is your titles can be misleading, that's all. but they serve the purpose to get clicks. I just think in the current climate of the ttrpg community being so hostile lately overall, its jarring.

@@TheCharacterSheet no no she accused laudna of lying to Imogen. And they were laughing and having fun. Don't be that guy please

@@TheCharacterSheet I mean they are a digital entertainment company and maybe Marisha decided it would be a different tack to try and explore Laudna's darker side and introduce some interparty conflict. After 10 years the whole schtick of "everyone loves each other unconditionally no matter what, conflicting personalities and nonsensical, often selfish actions aside" may be getting old for the actors to keep doing believably. Plus it tracks that she would at times be forced to do evil things in the service of her very evil patron. Not all warlocks are Fjord after all and throw their falchions in the lava about it. Some like the power they get and are willing to do whatever is necessary to keep it.

@@primordial994sadly, RU-vid drama content gets more clicks than cozy feel good vibes. Human nature? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah in this very fictional, extremely non-real world case, a relationship going toxic like that opens up a bunch of very interesting topics and possibilities for Bell's hells

All the more reason for Sir Tarryion Derrington to swoop in and save the day.

Honestly, we hadn't considered that, but given how Dorian accidentally escalated things trying to fill that role you may have a point

@@Ozgarthefighter thanks

The only reason we'd disagree is that we think Robbie may not have a huge amount of time blocked out for this

Spoilers for campaign 2: I don't think we'll see a part 2 for BH. Succeed or fail, I think they'll end once they deal with Ludinus. We might get a Delilah epilogue like we got for Trent at the end of campaign 2. But we're at about the same spot in the campaign as where M9 discovered that Mollys' grave was empty, which was the start of M9's final arc. (Even though time-wise, they've only been together 3 months, which for campaign 2 happened just as they left the temple of Ukatoah, back in episode 41 - this campaign of flying by!) I would guess they have probably another year, maybe less. 36 episodes, which would be 141 total like C2, would put them out to late March/early April of next year. If they want to launch Daggerheart with the start of their next campaign, it would be appropriate to do it on the 10th anniversary, so let's say they wrap up in December-Februrary, and then they start C4 with Daggerheart in early March (probably the 13th, the Thursday before their 10th anniversary). I also think they might need to stop their month-end break, if that's the goal. There are only 30 more episodes between now and March 13th 2025, if they keep to their same schedule. That seems rushed. They would need 15 more to get up to C2's total, which feels appropriate for where they are in the arc. Without the end of month breaks, going to the end of February, they can get 7 more in, so that's pretty close. 132, halfway between C1 and C2.

Ah, I can kind of see how the title could be misunderstood, just be aware that we always use Critical Role when talking about the CAMPAIGN. Whenever we are talking about the cast, we are always extremely clear about that for distinction. (i.e. our interviews with Taliesin or Laura, or when Laura and Ashley were dealing with Toxic fan reactions from Last of Us 2)

Yeah, but at the end of the episode after Matt says they are ending, Marisha doubles down and claims Laudna doesn't feel like she's lying or doing anything wrong, and Laura disagrees

@@TheCharacterSheet often times the only difference between being a hero and a villain, is perspective. From Laudna’s perspective she is still riding that line, however Imogine and the party, looked to have some real doubts, and with Dalaliah gaining more and more power, I’m beginning to think, there will come a point that you won’t be able to tell who’s in control of who. An abused mind, will cater to their abuser just like they have been taught, Laudna spent a lot of time with Dalalah before the adventure, and she is her security blanket, that even if everyone leaves. She still has Dalalah, and when you have a abuser like her, she will worm her way through Laudna’s head until, she sees eye to eye with Dalalah, all she has todo is bide her time and she will meet her goal, especially when your traveling with a group who’s mission is to stop the coming calamity. All that does is speak opportunity for Dalalah. Laudna is becoming more and more of an unhinged loose cannon. Think of Dalalah as a cursed sentient magic item, often times the wielder has no idea they are being manipulated, they feel as though they are there actions, often times convinced that their actions are just by the sentient object, Dalalah is no different, with the exception, you can’t remove her from her host.

@@roninhare9615 I don't think that they will force an unhappy ending for Laudna. Matt will give them a way out. Whether they can make it work or not is another matter. But he's repeatedly said he will work with the players to help build the story that they want to tell. If Marisha wants Laudna to have a chance to be free of Delilah, he'll find a way to make it make sense in the story.

Yeah, as we said before, we are not complaining about this, we think it's awesome. We Love where this is heading!

I will put it in the description right now!

@@TheCharacterSheet You're amazetastic mate!

That is definitely a fair reaction. Weirdly, we hadn't really thought about how messed up it is that Orym is carrying around the sword that literally killed Laudna, and Chetney...and Fearne...and himself...and at that point we did get on board

That is fair, to be fair!

True, it was the Critical Role Trifecta

Thank you! My thoughts exactly!

We love the storylines it opens up!

It does kinda seem like they immediately pulled the rug out from under him

Agreed, Orym, even if he may be misguided or possibly blinded by revenge, has finally come out of his shell in some very very interesting ways!

We took it as exactly that, Marisha was trying to "Delilah" it up to reflect what was happening in game, but we get how that can also be seen as just problematic behavior lol

I totally agree with you. And regarding spider-climb, who hasn't ever knocked a spider off the ceiling? Geez...

It was a very intense thing, and we can see how it definitely would not be to some people's taste, although we did enjoy it!

It's really only the last hour that focuses on Marisha's character. Up until that point it's very different in tone. But that last hour really leaves a lasting impression.

@@malkovich8 Got it. Maybe I'll just skip the last hour when I get to it, then.

The last hour is some of the most riveting stuff to happen in quite a while!

@@TheCharacterSheet That's not saying much 🤣

Yup, Marvel Multiverse!

We are specifically talking about the Characters, not the cast. The Characters themselves got very toxic last episode, which made for a GREAT episode.

We think it did set an odd tone of invinciblity from poor decisions that kind of plagued campaign 3 for several months, but honestly this current outcome, where Delilah could basically tear the group apart at any time, is pretty fascinating

But TBH, I think having Delilah around to muddy the waters makes for some very, very, interesting character choices and interactions as was extremely evident in this episode.

I mean, literally right back at you. We are reporting on characters in an actual play, not the cast themselves lol.

SPOILERS: I mean, Laura Bailey literally called out Marisha/Laudna for it at the end of the session...and the party CAME TO BLOWS over it. We literally don't even see how this could be clickbait when even the CAST is agreeing with it :D

I do kinda agree with the poster. I would of agreed it was just functional fun but Marisha argued with the dm about spider climb then after he mad a ruling more in her favour then rules as written she still had a snide comment about it. At that point you can’t say “its in character” Still they aren’t exactly toxic much maybe the emotions of the moment got away with her.

Agree with you. It's fiction and cool down shows that the player's irl are not effected and were in fact thrilled by the pvp.

@@TheCharacterSheet Your thumbnail of the video makes it seem as if the cast is becoming toxic, not the fictional characters. Only followers of CritRole will have an inkling of what you mean, and even then only those caught up. I do stand by my comment, an evil character doing something toxic, oh noes! Who'd'a thunk it?

Laudna literally attacked Orym, almost got taken over by Delilah, lied to Imogen, and then caused a massive rift in the party. That's pretty toxic, lol. We are talking about what happened in the game with the characters.
