Jesters Scry is Revealed | The BIGGEST plot twist of Campaign 2?? | Critical Role C2E114 Highlight 

She would make a fantastic drag king 😍

"you have a mustache. to much hot coco"

I could almost see jester’s horns

She looks amazing as a gentleman tho.

I was late to the start of the episode by a few seconds and didn't even recognize Laura since I missed her costume reveal.

"Thanks" - Keg

Somewhere out there. Keg is aroused.

--------------------------------------------------------- Thanks - Keg

We that ain’t keg

Now that is retconning I can get behind!

Really Taliesin, you think you can just come here and try to cover yourself?

or maybe matt just decided he wanted the accent to be consistent

@Zachary Bynx I don't know actually nobody ever invites me to them for some reason

It is true that if one has an accent and are around people for an extended period of time that do not, or have a different accent, one’s accent tends to change by varying extents becoming more similar to others’ one is around.

I mean molly had to get it from somewhere

Would have been hilarious if he failed a DeX save on the icy roof and he Homer Simpsoned his way down.

@@D.Jay. I like to think the reason he ended jesters scry then was so that she wouldn’t see him faceplant into the snow below.

The accuracy. It hurts.

He definitely foreshadowed it well. Not enough to give it away, but enough that as soon as they saw, all the clues became immediately obvious.

OOOOOHHHHH SHIT!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN UNUSUAL WAY TO DESCRIBE THAT......!!! HOLEY SHIT!!!!

Like normally he describes her floating high above the clouds the zooming over to where her scry focus is, but naw he just lobbed her twenty feet vertical

​@@cryofpaine Not enough to give it away? mate: "Without YOUR scent, i wouldnt have been able to follow HER" is a PRETTY FREAKING OBVIOUS tell! That AND the "this one here", immediately followed up with him grabbing the book and stating "I now have back what she stole from me" which again, is a huge tell, especially when Marisha spent like an hour red thread conspiracy theory connecting a couple episodes ago, bringing up the fact that Mollucien had stolen a book from who they guessed was Vess. That entire scry was a major, MAJOR tell, and none of them picked up on it.

This!

I was about to say he's so used to that outfit that sometimes he sleeps in it, but I almost forgot eldritch beings don't need sleep

Problem is, at least in that moment, she didn't seem very appreciative. ;)

@@Quotenwagnerianer That's definitely going to change with when Caleb uses magic to tell bed time stories to Jester. Bigger payout.

@@spartanchief2 I can imagine Jester adding some thaumaturgy flair as well.

*cough*

@@maducrutz9384 lol

Like with Avantika when he was like "nonono" when she approached him. I love it ahen he has real reactions in the heat of the moment.

marisha is your fav player?? may i ask why? honestly curious. i dont get it. maybe ive been watching too much S1 lately

@@adamantz7682 a.) She's all in, always, and still plays the game. One of the things I dislike in Critical Role is when they players are actively trying to subvert their own interests. "Oh, but can I even do that?" Marisha and Travis both tend to play the game fully to "win," (achieve the most positive outcome for their characters) but they accept Matt's rulings and don't re-adjudicate things. That's great when a person is playing, and as a DM, which is the only role at a table I've had for like... lol, almost my whole life, it feels great to have a player so invested. What's even better is how big of a fan of the other players Marisha is. It happened a lot less in Campaign 1 for pretty good reasons, but when Marisha's character isn't the star of the show, she's such a fan. Her face and reactions when other characters - NPC or PC - do stuff where her characters aren't inherently involved are those of a person fully bought into the narrative. That's so valuable, so rare. Truly, only Travis comes as close in a way that I can relate to. I think Tal as well, but his investment manifests as a kind of nervous anxiety that I can't relate to. b.) She's more willing than anyone else to let her characters grow, and specifically start out as people she and even we don't necessarily like. c.) Marisha "choreographs" her fights as Beau. It happened a lot less when she had the 9 pages of features and spells of Keyleth to deal with (heheheheheheh. Rhymes.), but I love how she narrativizes not just Beau's techniques - which are pretty fun to visualize - but how her character expresses through violence. When Beau falls below half hit points, she loses all pretense of form and style, and it gains a very Charlie-Cox-Daredevil energy that I'm fully here for. Marisha Murdock is a What If series I would very much watch. Disney? Make it, you cowards. d.) People roll their eyes about it, but Marisha has been setting up Beau as a plot detective for like... a hundred episodes. It started out as an incessant need for dirt and gossip, as it would, but she's evolved into much more of a Spymaster. Without Marisha's instincts, they would not have learned of Essek's involvement with the Cerberus Assembly when they did. There are other examples. e.) She's deeply funny. Not always in a "haha, she tell joke, she maek reference" way that some of the others are, but she makes funny decisions and she's perhaps too conscious of self to imagine her errors aren't also hilarious. That isn't unique to her in this cast, but I clock it with her more than the others.

@@thestranger954 On another of Nico's videos, he has a hilghlight of Avantika's death, and Travis and Marisha have *very* similar in-the-moment reactions.

@@SeanBoyce-gp Exactly. They rock at roleplay and the amount of investment they've in the story really jives with me.

Spooky

Coincident?

it's spelled "arousing"

Just this huge pale giant of a woman flailing her arms around nervously

@@alessandrocoatti5186 "I don't know what to do with my hands"

@@3SmoothYoda3 i can think of a couple scenarios where she'd know exactly what to do with her hands

@@alessandrocoatti5186 woah there bucko, ey now...

I love when Travis gets totally pulled into a scene. That “shut the fuck up!” reaction at 9:08 was so pure.

They've done this sort of thing before.

Oop, well now I am sad and my heart is warmed

I don't fully think Mollymauk ever really existed. Mollymauk was essentially a delusion Lucien suffered for a time, probably as the result of a botched Astral Projection.

@@SeanBoyce-gp Mollymauk definitely existed, but not the way most people do

"Mollucien". we have to make it official

He could step on me and I'd probably thank him :c

* Notices the scry * OwO, what's this?

There's no such thing as an inappropriate age for feeling giddiness for someone else's happiness.

kree didn't take the blood vials with her, the gentleman gave them back in zadash (tho the m9 have mollys blood, if they find a way to use it)

@@ratexplains correction, kree gave the gentleman two dozen vials of blood and told him it's all the original vials, and the gentleman had no way of checking

I missed this Hannibal reference now I feel bad

It wouldn't matter she was dead already and he was gone.

@@MortyTheReaper Nah dude, it's way easier to follow a fresh trail.

They would still have to take care of Vess.

With hindsight of course its obvious, hindsight is 20/20, in the moment though there was nothing to make it explicitly obvious, they had no indication he was near them and no reason to really think he'd be near them. So far as they knew, he was further north doing stuff with the Tombtakers. Some people mention how Matt described the Scry but I figured it was different was because of something lucien did, especially when he started talking to Jester. I assumed he was ahead of them and had already stolen something from Ves earlier on.

First time watching it I knew he was upstairs, but even if they'd figured it out, Vess was dead and it was a full blizzard outside. Matt was giving them hints and a real chance to catch Lucien early, but it would have been really difficult. They would have all had to scatter and probably roll at disadvantage to have any chance of one of them finding him, and then he'd have curb stomped whichever player that was, since it would've been just one maybe two of the M9 vs probably all of the tomb takers. Anti-magic field means they can't call for help.

purple kinda sus

@@NicoNeilson However i did see Green go into space, maybe he is form the moon?

From somewhere else I read, and I checked it in twitch chat. "Blue see purple vent."

@@NicoNeilson where are the aftermath episodes?

@@AsianHazza09 I made a post about it last week, but basically I've gotten and new job IRL and its been messing up my normal routine with making videos. I'm still working on getting back into the groove of things :)

im so worrieddddd

I don't know how many times during this campaign I wanted to shout: 'MATT FUCKING MERCER'. Probably a dozen at least now. Gosh he is so good, I wish one day I can be such a great DM and make my players so excited. Because for now they are just mildly amused.

Ye, same here: "What are you doing, he must be RIGHT HERE, stealing the book from DeRogna. Rush outside and locate creature!" I never imagined she would be dead though.

Omg same

better yet, he could literally just snap his fingers and the book will be in common XD he's planning this from the beginning

caleb’s lowkey smooth hahaha

One could say his game... is fire.

Pft

I mean, he could do a Sam-Scanlan/Tary. Maybe play both for like an episode or two and have either of them leave (probably Molly, Caduceus isn't done with the Nein, he said it). And so, the character who leaves, it's fine for One-Shots or if the character who stayed dies.

@@perezortegavalentin9343 Yeah, but then... that'd still be unsatisfactory? Because we only got a tiny bit from Molly, the Nein would just CLING to him; the reason they got so much character development was... because he and them weren't finished with each other's stories. At the very least, until Cad feels his time to go back home, i don't think Molly should be brought back.

but he is not playing Molly he is playing Lucien

@@cussundriakneal9904 The Nein would cling to him indeed, but what if he just fucks off. I don't know, maybe he ends up being Molly with all of Lucien's memories and shit, and while he loved being with the Nein, he just has so much shit in his head tries to contact other people that knew Lucien, so he leaves the nein or something. The specifics are kinda messy to imagine, but they could happen in a way that makes much more sense than what I said.

“he cant play two characters” sam and travis want to know your location, they just wanna talk

Ye, because the last time a villain invited them to chase him worked out so well :) Let's see if they've learned their lesson and what are they going to do about it?

when did they do that? like at what time.

There are no evidence that Lucien was passing as Vess during the dinner. For all we know, he was waiting for her in her room.

@@bdletoast09 fair, then it's just my crackpot theory

what Animation are you talking about?

@@hiimdavis4758 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8SPpFGPXMGg.html

@@hiimdavis4758 It was by Danica Dickinson, actually. I thought I saw someone call her El for some reason, but I guess I got mixed up with a different animator.

@@kieransaul2711 oh ok

@@glamorlock Thank you

I mean its not Molly but blood curses and stabbing was kinda his thing

I think, I'm not 100% sure but all they have to do is kill him again and wait 50 days then it'll be Molly again.

You only knew Molly for like 26 of the now 114 episodes, sky's the limit.

Molly was never himself infact. Lucien is real Moly was only a fragment of who he really was

I think Molly would absolutely kill someone like Vess if he thought she was in the way of her goals. The Mighty Nein would do it. Vess sucks. Lucien, however, doesn't yet know it's the Mighty Nein in pursuit. I am extremely excited to find out if he recognizes them. I want to know what he is like!

I needed it yestreday

@@NicoNeilson aw thanks for the heart! yeah me too, there was so much...elevated tension 😳

This aged well

Tracking works both ways. If you have someone’s blood (or hair) you can use it to scry on them and track them. But the owner of that blood/hair can just as easy use magic to track down the parts you have. Think of it as two magnets that are both pulled towards each other.

The blood was left with the gentlemen if I recall. They asked to take back their own blood and Mollymauk's.

They took back all of their own blood and Molly's so my guess is that Cree took more of Molly's blood to track the vial of it that the Mighty Nein have OR that Cree swapped out the actual vials since she knew that nobody else under the Gentleman's employ was a blood cleric

@@orioninfernal7269 they recently confirmed that the vials are for sure not as full of blood as when they were first gathered, so I think she definitely has some on hand to keep track of them peeps

But that's what makes it all that more special

You're in for a treat!

Taliesin's hands? He has benign tremors; his hands always shake. It's more noticeable when he gets excited or stressed.

Oh. I didn’t know that. Thanks for letting me know

You called Taliesin "Tal'Dorei"?

Oof. Autocorrect
