@@lautarosola386 me too! I didn’t catch all of it as it aired until the middle of the night but I caught the dragon fight and most of the one with the TT and it was so chaotic and crazy
Im still catching up but I saw it live right as they started to engage with Lucien and co at the end. GOOD JEEZ that was stressful. Beau almost died and I was dying bc I couldn’t pause it like I thought it be able to and I really needed to pee. Very stressful
Got an honorable mention: When the group was running away, and Lucien’s Magic-Negating Field was *literally* a hair’s width away. Matt’s response was perfect. “You lucky f*ckers...” XD
I cannot remember being so anxious and agitated whilst watching an episode of CR. It is a testament to Matt's ability to create amazing antagonists. I paused Twitch several times to get up and walk around before coming back to finish the episode.
For me the only one comes close is the Might Nein's encounter with The Laughing Hand in the King's Cage. That shit took years off my life. But this episode had me in cold sweats for the ENTIRE SECOND HALF.
@@angrychef1786 I stopped at intermission on the live broadcast as it was late where I live. I watched the rest on VOD and that is when things got intense.
*campaign 1 spoilers* There were a few fights in campaign 1 that surpassed this level for me (the Herd of Storms fight, the first Raishan fight, the first Vecna fight), but this one was by far the most tense of campaign 2 so far.
@@tamllinn I did look it up eventually, Vox Machina were around Level 14 when they fought the first Dragon, and Level 16 by the time they fought the boss. Mighty Nein were level 13 in this battle, so perhaps SLIGHTLY underleveled had they been taking Gelidon on with just their party, but with the Tomb Takers, they made up the difference.
@@bleachbleachBLEACHER I wouldn't say they closed the distance much. Vox Machina still barely beat the weakest dragon Umbrasyl(?) and barely beat Voragal even with a powerful abyssal demon.
I'd like to remind everyone that Matt updated Blood Hunter And one of the features he added was the Brand of Castigation, a mark that you leave on a target after you hit it with an attack. It allows you to always know the direction of the creature until you dismiss it, or dispelled. So...Lucien knows where Fjord is you guys
@@_____2219 Do they have spell slots for that though? Do they even have it prepared? Not to mention, Lucien is at least a 14th level Blood Hunter, so even if Caleb uses Arcane Recovery AND has it prepared, it's not a guarantee that it will be dispeled, the roll can go wrong Not to mention, they could assume it's some Nonagon shit rather than Blood Hunter stuff, and that because of that, it can't be dispeled, and just don't try
@@mrhappy6677 Cree's is limited by Channel Divinity (she is a blood cleric in case you didn't know, really cool subclass), and has a 10 mile radius, not to mention it's the aproximate direction and the tracking itself only lasts for an hous. Lucien's tracking has no distance or time restriction, and he can know the direction, no aproximation
I legit clocked in a full on workout while watching this episode, because I didn’t know what to do with myself from all the stress of the last 2 hours of the episode 😅
Stayed up til 3 in the morning to finish watching this episode. SO WORTH IT Edit: Also, Sam shouting "Mask!" at Liam when he left for the bathroom is such a mood. Take care of your glorious husband Sam.
The scariest part is this was just the beginning of the MN escape. Two major fights, low on spells, only had short rest, and the TT can scry for their location. I can't wait to see what happen next.
The only good thing about this is that Lucian's Brand of Castignation is pretty useless for him right now. Cree can scry on them from their blood, so the Brand tracking them is redundant
Weren't they about 3 hours away from Aeor, according to Lucien? With their headstart, they may be able to reach Essek and the Kryn base before the Tombtakers catch up to them, assuming they'll even keep chasing them.
As a guy who used to play the Paladin I can attest to halflings and gnomes using me as a meat shield and/or hiding spot is par for the course during my home games.
Probably gonna need a part two to this. There were just too many great moments in this episode. Two off the top of my head would be travis' greater restoration freak out and the major image dragon
Group of wolves run past headed north. I really wish someone would've cast speak with animals. Jester: What are you running from? Wolfs: GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
Was watching this episode at work with headphones. I screamed when Sam rolled his 20 and I didn't know the boss was behind me, and he was giving me a weird look. Lol
You know what would be a great RP moment with Sam? If the one time he DOES use luck Matt can describe it as the Traveler giving her a little boost for being a tricksy person and entertaining him through their journeys. The boon of the Traveler.
This episode was astounding. I'm super conflicted on what I want to happen, too. On one hand, the City is believed to be bad, and shouldn't be allowed to return. But, on the other... I want to see it return. I'm curious.
This was a gut-wrenching, heart-stopping episode!! And in the end, they ended up with a backpack with torn straps, provisions, and a threshold crest. And the Tomb Takers have a bag of holding Lucien can easily cancel the magic on to get the amber necklace and everything else in it.
Actually, Lucian would need to flip the bag inside out. If he ended the magic, I believe that all of the stuff would be shunted into the astral plane like what would happen if the bag were destroyed
Covid really erased so much of my memory over the years, I had forgotten so much had passed. These moments feel new then come in as familiar, kinda like a stale muffin but its still good? Anyways thanks for the recap videos! Theyre great!
Anyone else notice the D8 Ashley rolled is shaped like a potion bottle? Pretty sure that was a Kickstarter project I saw a while ago, dice shaped like various potion bottles, it looked pretty cool.
@@ferfer4410 I thought that might be the case just saying european critters almost never can watch the live or only at the expense of their sleep schedule, like in germany critical role airs at 4 am till approximately 8 am, normal people usually wake up at that time
Counter Spellception. A spell that gets counter spelled, the counter spell is counter spelled and that counter spelled is counter spelled. Everyone at that table better spin their totem to make sure we're all in the real make believe world of The Mighty Nein and not the dream make believe world of The Mighty Nein. My God, I think I broke something in my brain for that joke.
In-game, I sort of pictured it as three consecutive “boom, boom, BOOM” as the abjuration magic was routed from each caster. That tops Scanlan’s “I counter-spell the Counterspell” from the first campaign.
I mean when we were sailing one time I rolled a Category 5 Hurricane. Something you can't hide from, can't reason with, and can't just punch into submission.
i... honestly don't know what the Mighty Nein are gonna do now, they're on an untreaded path that's got _very_ prickly bushes around and many pairs of sharp yellow eyes staring at them also that Dodeca-Heal Yourself bit might be the best i've seen on the show to date
Great episode but boyyy I wanted Matt to bring out the combat timer 😂 I was actually hoping a certain character would get eaten 😂 but in seriousness W t f 😂
@Jim Tent and, most importantly, the FIREWORKS. They lost probably hundreds of gold pieces worth of fireworks because of the Tomb Takers. If I didn't like them before, I definitely hate them now.
@Jim Tent Sadly dispel doesn't work on magic items, only spells (like calebs storing thingy). Antimagic zone would do the trick though (the thing Lucien has)
Rewatching these after the campaign ended. I don't think anyone ever asked how Veth's potion actually worked and how it was supposed to be used. Dang it
