Vox Machina: they defeat Beholders, Demons and Dragons in a couple of minutes, but it takes 8 minutes, three people and three spells to unlock a barred door, and Scanlan gets injured in the meantime :D
MASSIVE END OF CAMPAIGN SPOILERS AHEAD It took 48 ingame seconds to kill Vecna, so it technically took Vox Machina over 10 times longer to get this door open than to defeat a literal god.
Starting at about 6:45, when Scanlan, Vax and the Unseen Servant can't budge the wooden bar, Marisha sums it up perfectly: "Man, Laura and Travis ain't missing shit".
+Mike Jones that's two unnecessarily rude comments i've seen on these videos so i'm letting you know that you are getting reported and blocked from this channel.
Funny thing is that there is actually a monster analysis on this door on Criticalrole stats blog page. www.critrolestats.com/blog/monster-analysis-door
A section of the book (The World of Critical Role) also listed doors as their enemies! It's even funnier in the audiobook (read by our very own Zahra, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn!)
*DM:* "Okay guys, now you will face the destroyer of worlds, the blight of the multiverse" *Players:* "Yeah, we got this" *DM:* "But to get to him, you first need to open a sturdy looking door" *Players start sweating profusely*
Thank you kindly, sir. I was looking for this moment specifically. Dear god, the Legend of Vox Machina version is just slightly LESS dumb? Ahahahahahaaa.
I love this scene. This is just the stupidest thing that has ever happened. Scanlan got injured while trying to open a damn door. That took so much effort. I love it. Never stop laughing.
I just got into d&d bc my girlfriend plays. So she suggested watching critical roll bc we play ffxiv and talisen (percy) and Sam (scanlan) were both in it for the base game before it expanded. So I've been watching vox machina after I get to the parts in critical roll. I'm onnthe last episode now. And its funny. She didn't even know I love laura Bailey so much. I watched qnimes with her in it just bc of her. Fruits basket was the first I watched of hers and me and my mom watched it together so it's special.
I'm watching this and thinking to myself, "this could have been a non-issue with the Knock spell, a 2ND LEVEL SPELL!! And they had to resort to Bigbys Hand, a fucking 5TH LEVEL SPELL!!!!" So much cringe, and yet so funny.
