SPOILERS FOR CAMPAIGN 1 AND DALEN'S CLOSET ONE-SHOT "The person that killed your family, destroy your home town and not herself but, by proxy, killed your wife, may come back to life" I think Percy's measures are quite justified
@@daytonpannell uh, this is Campaign 3, all campaigns happen in the same universe of Exandria and most of the player characters from past campaigns are still alive and (like here) they can run into them sometimes. But its not like, a direct continuation.
i didn't catch ashely and travis being like "hey look at the people who played our character's partners last campaign being cute" and now im in tears so thanks
I absolutely love how Marisha has now effectively forced her husband to roleplay as her problematic flying dead rat familiar! Well played Ray, well played!
That entire first half was just beautiful. Seeing Laudna actively fighting against her own traumatic memories, realizing that what she remembers is no longer there, that instead of being dead and broken, Whitestone has been healed. Much like herself. The broken, cracking voice delivery and body language was easily some of Marisha's finest role-playing, showing us that she's finally willing to let the mask down. And boy did it ever once she began embodying the Sun Tree with the veil crumbling (SYMBOLISM!) and feeling that it's so warm. The painful memories are still there, but she's rewriting them as she goes. And the child... she wasn't scared. She liked Laudna as is. Everywhere else, she would be kept at a distance. But in this town that is no stranger to death and life and in-between, Laudna's just another person here. Just another fun-scary lady. That right there, as well as Vex and Percy greeting her properly, says it all. A daughter of Whitestone was welcomed home that day, and she would always be welcome whenever she wished to come back. But not now. Not when they gotta resolve that weird moon shit.
A general fascination with and embracing of the macabre would fit right in with the Victorian vibe Whitestone's always had while also making sense with its in-world history. Also, while who knows where this campaign is going, it'd be adorable if Laudna and Imogen sunset the campaign together by going full cottage-core and getting a home together in Whitestone.
I love that Matt took every instance of Laudna giving Pate a voice and personality and just said "LETS DO IT". He didnt hold back on how weird he was or how he's just a pervert, he was like "This is who Laudna made, ok."
Somehow we need a sequel to the familiar one-shot Marisha did, with Sprinkle, Nugget, Mister, Pate, and Trinket's kids. I don't care what the excuse is.
That nat 1 on trying to compel Laudna back was definitely deserved. Edit: To be fair, he did say in the latest Four Sided Dive that he immediately realized it was a bad idea as soon as Laura went off on him about it a moment later.
Absolutely. I hope that in the future, Imogen has some CHOICE WORDS for Letters about that because she was NOT happy that they thought that "compelling someone to return by magical means" was the best way to appeal to a tortured soul who spent 33 years in her own perpetual purgatory even when alive. That was not fun, FCG. That was scary-scary. (Though it does make sense in-character; he just didn’t realize how harmful that could be.)
@@AdamEspersona i feel like its very FCG too, theyve always had this weird thing about souls and wondering if hes a living being etc so having him try to force someone to live again really fits. cant wait to see imogens scolding tho
@@AdamEspersona first of all, i agree trying to compel Loud-Nah via magic means was not good, nor smart (might even say scummy), but i would say it fits into FCG's character just fine, either by his naive demeanor (he literally doesn't know better), or due to his glitchy status, IIRC the fight against Delilah left him very stressed out and he even began glitching by calling Paté "Escargot" and giving an improper recollection of something that Laudna told Orym and not FCG.
@@vanerek oh yeah, there's that too! I want to believe that Sam forgot that it was Orym and not them that Laudna talked to. Because just being able to "hear" things even when in stasis (such as how they somehow know that Orym had a husband before anyone else mentioned it, or other such details) feels rather unfair. And probably just something to weaponize should they go berserk again. Overall, I thought that was just unfair. I remember when in C1, Sam-as-Scanlan gave his big goodbye in E85 and he was even mentioning Percy's parents by name. He was never told their names, he was just reading what he copied off the wiki XD
@@AdamEspersona Isn't resurrection just that though, a spell to forcefully get someone back to life? I mean yeah, trying to command Laudna was a bit much, but they all tried to get her back by any means necessary anyway. But I'm also curious if it was FCG being naive/desperate, Sam just making a poor decision for the sake of creativity or actually having some hidden reasoning that led to this roll.
Red poppies are often worn as a sign of rememberence for fallen soldiers and loved ones during WWI. Liam going the extra mile every time he sits at that table.
@@rebeckarydberg I think it would be unfair for someone else's offering to be punished for FCGs roll. I think if anything Matt wouldve made an adjustment to the DC based on the Nat 1, then Imogen's offering should be a clean slate.
@@Aurora7 His roll, and the gross ugliness of trying to compell a dead friends soul in a sacred moment by a trashy mental trick, from a cleric who should know better( ok, yeah, a possible aeoran death bot).
Honestly, you can’t fault Ashley for wanting in on the chaos when trying to steal from her own character. As well as requesting a gun for her fire monkey to start an Exandria of the Apes.
i like how open-ended they left it. Idk if the crew have an idea of the Arcs for this campaign so far, but this felt like the ending of one. They managed to get outta bassarus, they've saved Laudna and have the freedom of an airship but Delilah absolutely has them in her crosshairs now, they've lost Eshtaross and have the ticking clock of the Solstice, Yu and Thull over their heads. It feels like the part of an open world game where the opening act in the starter town ends and the player is let loose into the world.
One of the saddest parts is that because Laura rolled low, Matt says that the shadows are holding her words back from the ears that need to hear them... meaning Laudna never heard what Imogen said. :(
God their costumes are so hilariously incongruous with all the drama lmao (Also with the face decoration, Ashley kinda looks like Diana Leah [new lead singer of Delain])
Thank you SO much for making these. I get totally amped for the next CR episode every time; such a perfect way to get a solid reminder of all the stuff that went down! Keep up the amazing work.
Well I'm glad that Laudna is back, Bell Hell's are all back together. We can now have a fun session with everybody. Nothing bad in the future at all. (Several hours later) ... Well... Hell... Side note: when he pulls out the maple ginger cookie recipe, that was the twist of the knife for me.
I remember trying to watch this at my grandpas house while we were visiting him and everyone else was sleeping! I had to charge my iPad in a really weird position on the couch and I was so tired! I stayed up until the break I think then went to bed. The costumes are AWESOME! XMen was my favorite show as a little kid in the 90s on Fox Kids! I can still hear the opening intro music to this day! Also hilarious how everyone is half costumed after the break. The studio must’ve been really warm! And then their costumes must’ve been sweltering! I don’t know which one is my favorite!
Now, I'm sure I'm not the only one who comes here every week to see your fantastic timestamp titles, but I don't think I've ever agreed with one as much as the one for 8:02 this week.
They could have sryed just because they know them now, i dont think the ring add much to it, plus its a magic item that exist a lot in the universe so i think it need to be a one of a kindish object… again i’m not sure maybe it could indeed help 🤔
Oh he absolutely did, I have zero doubts. Spoilers for Campaign 1: The man wrote up an actual demonic contract for them to sign, you think he can't write up a cookie recipe?!
Having not watched since like episode 13, coming to this and seeing them all serious and dramatic in these ridiculous costumes is just the goofiest thing lmfao
I’m pretty sure that the horse’s tension is all rigged by rubber bands. I’ve got a dice catapult that I believe is from the same folks, and it gets a *ridiculous* amount of tension. Launched my lightest die nearly 30ft.
Oi real talk, if you dont like potatoes you aren't human. Potatoes are a hod tier food that go with every meal and every experience and is perfect in any and all its forms. Even scalloped.
