I'm embarrased that it took until this episode for me to realize Taryon Darrington is Iron Man. Inventor with a suit of armor. Parents are Howard and Maria. Oh Sam... you nerd.
Liam, on stealth check: "I rolled a 2, but it's a 37..." *Matt, realizing that a rogue literally tripped on every rock falling in a giant hole in the ground, without ever being heard or seen...
Every d20 roll in skills which rogues are proficient with are treated as 10 if it is below 10. Combine this with expertise (doubles the proficiency bonus for some skills) and you get the high level rogue that literally can’t fail some skill checks.
@@ataberkdedemen9802 true but Liam ignored reliable talent for Nat 1s. So 2-9 counted as 10, but for RP Nat 1s stayed as 1s (probably still total of 16 despite that)
They bring it up in campaign two. Laura's character says that line as they all toast, and then Taliesin's character quickly chimes in about how stupid that sounds. It's very funny knowing the origin.
Terry: "I would like to remind you all that someone has been watching us for this whole last year" Percy: "They're right *THERE* [points directly into the camera]"
I always love when Matt supports his players like “you don’t need to worry about that” or when players are bummed about their attacks he says things like “that’s not bad” or “every bit counts”
@@SPACEHARICE I mean, in world, that's what's actually happening. Basic AC (armor class) is based on your Dexterity and the type of armor you're wearing, so either you're really dexterous and practicing the 5 Ds of Dodge Ball, or you got hit, but your armor is doing its job and you didn't take any damage.
I love Travis. Did everyone catch that? "There's no such thing as family problems being solved forever." Grog, thinking about his uncle's severed head in the bag of holding... "Really?"
Having Travis and Sam sitting so far apart is like the teacher splitting up friends. They still talk, but now they just talk across the room to each other.
I havent reached the new campaign yet, but I believe that Sam and Travis are the two best players in this one for various reasons, and any time one or the other is involved in a caper it is aswesome. Even better when its the two of them together. Through in Ashley with either of them as well because she bounces off them well.
In terms of d&d and for good showmanship this is far better as if you want to have their great moments they need to be talking across the room and involving everyone audience included rather than sitting next to one another whispering and keeping those great moments more to themselves
Wookie_oo7 I agree, Sam Travis and Ashley have really good chemistry together, everything they do is always fun and they’re always so into their characters

@@alex_ho Ooo I know this one actually. It's because if they used full running speed, you wouldn't be able to catch up to them if you made a wrong turn or went off their path for any reason and they are faster than the walking speed because... who would want to walk half the zone with an NPC. I know they could make it faster than it is now, but my guess is that they want it to be new player friendly so that noone would fail over and over again and then they would have to memorize that path or w/e. But yeah, after 12 years whenever i see an escort quest, a part of my soul dies.
Is it just me or did Grog learn from the encounter with Shauna the Barkeep by doing what she instructed Tary to do? He asked for the Goliath's name... That is subtle roleplaying [especially as I can't see anyone else has brought this up?]
@@MasterCrander I am convinced that Travis is the best PC I have ever seen. He has perfect distinction between himself and Grog whether it be in combat/shopping/dialogue/or even monologue. It amazes me how he can go from making me laugh to making me cry in the same episode and still make it 100% believable
The Look on Matthew’s face when Pike deals 42 points of radiant Damage from a single Guiding Bolt. Rolling 6 sixes out of 8d6...The stars have aligned for that hit.
I just thought of something: Remember when Tary remarked that friendship was approximately worth 210,000 gold? Irony right there, the debt being 230,000 gold.
It is very strange coming back through and finding all these little things that are big things in Campaign 1. Deastock is near Zadash, there's every chance that Taryon has met some favourites from Campaign 2. (I wonder if Matt's worked out where Tary and his family are by Campaign 2? As much as he's said he doesn't want any direct cross overs, if the M9 end up in Deastock.....)
@@collinthompson9072 I mean to be honest, it's kinda been implied that he did not stumble upon printed matter on the subject, or at least not extensively, considering his entire perception of what he should be like as an adventurer and whatnot was a dashing guy wooing women wherever he went, not other guys. This said... am I the only one who noticed they just went directly referencing Lord of the Rings there? XD
plus the fact that it was all yes& improv from sam and matt is exactly why they are my two favourites when it comes to witty rp. this whole moment has been a wonderful exploration into sam's mind and crass genius.
Yeah, meanwhile she never even tried to follow whatever Matt was talking about. She just randomly does things without thinking of the consequences, and then gets mad at Matt whenever he calls her out on it.
@@ronaldfarber589no, he gave her leeway when she died jumping off the cliff. Normally in their resurrection rules, she wouldve needed to pass a roll to come hack to life. Matt just skipped that there. I know it wouldve sucked to loose a character like that, but you know what? Dont jump down a cliff and turn into a goldfish 99% in if you dont wanna loose your character.
@@gorgitthat’s wrong. Revivify doesn’t have all the pass roles, it’s just the one role DC they need to pass and Vex passed it. They used revivify before plenty of times without any of the ritual stuff, it just needs to happen within a minute and every time it happens the DC goes up
1:55:30 Can you imagine the pre-wedding discussions tho? Kima: I'm not wearing a dress though, Ally Allura: What? Then what will you wear?! Kima: My armor. Allura: Absolutely not! Kima: Absolutely YEAH!
I mean, everyone with the exception of Tarry has a Vestige...(and Scanlan had one too) so...thats on Matt for making that many. Someone had to have 2. As Matt himself said, let that be a lesson to DMs out there when making magic items for the party.
@@ajmrozinski2551 I think the one that pushes it over the edge is the boots of haste, but frankly anyone else with that would be even more OP. The only ones that would really benefit from the boots would be Percy (who arguabily should have gotten it as he is probably the least powerful of the non-magic characters, but never really showed interest on them), Vex and Grog. Both Vex and Grog have offensive Vestiges. Vex also had powerful arrows and other items, so she would be as strong as Vax and we would be talking about her instead. As for Grog...with the magic swords he had, the Gauntlets and other things he carried...he would be insanely overpowered witht the booths of haste. Motherfucker would attack like 6 times in a turn, he would deal like 200 burst damage. As for the snake belt...its not strong at all, mostly a scouting item, really. He didn't use it on any fights, now, did he?
@@ProfiteerProphet The extra hasted action only allows you to make one extra attack, regardless of how many attacks you get per action. And with Vax getting doubled speed with the wings AND flying means that doubling that again with haste makes him insanely busted, and thats before taking into account that rogues get to take an extra dash movement for a bonus action which puts him at a potential 480 feet of movement per turn if he chooses. Bumping someone from 30 feet grounded to 60 feet grounded is much more reasonable that bumping Vax from 60 feet flying to 120 feet flying. Laura even mentioned in a previous episode when talking about the boots "sarcastically" that it would be nice if someone would share out their movement items. Travis even made a great case for the Whisper dagger in that he spends a lot of time chasing enemies and not being able to catch them (Travis looked extremely bumbed and bored in a couple previous fights like he was having no fun at all because of this, hence why Matt gave him the feral leaping boots), But Liam said no, daggers are my thing (that was his entire justification for keeping whisper), even though he shouldnt be bamphing in close to enemies anyway since he has no hit points. Liam is just selfish and wants all the mobility for himself at the expense of other peoples fun.
Taryon: "For the past year, I've had one half of a communications bracelet. Somebody's been watching us this whole time." Percy: (points at camera) "OH MY GOD they're right there!" XD Well played Taliesin
And this right here is why folks aren't as fond of the other players. Always asking for extra bonuses to rolls (watch the next time Marisha has to roll something and there's a very high chance she says something like "just straight X?" like she wants to get some random bonus to the roll), trying to roll for things from previous scenes that are over, trying to get more out of abilities than what they actually do, and while they all have issues with knowing their characters/stats, those 2 are by far the best at it. I mean the first time Pike ever cast Beacon of Hope (which is a great buff) was when she was being controlled by Liam and Laura, even though she had access to that level of spell since the beginning of the campaign.
@@scottshaw8864 - From the way Marisha asks "just straight X" it always sounds like she just making sure she's not supposed to be adding anything, not if she CAN add anything. Like she's checking real quick to make sure she's doing it right. Liam is also really good about asking what he can/can't do and having a back up plan if he can't. And Laura has recognized her 'favorite terrain' thing to the point where's she roasting herself about it. I get being irritated at some things and to each their own, but the degree to which people look down on so many members of the cast for not meeting their own standards is getting pretty silly. Everyone has issues knowing their stats etc because they have a million things to keep track of, those things are always changing, and not everyone has an A+ memory. And going back and forth about all the way they could be better players is moot anyway because, as they've said from the very beginning, they play for fun. They're not Rules Lawyers. They're not Power Players. They're not sticklers. They have fun, play pretend, and improv with their friends. And all the hand-wringing and finger-wagging from so much of the fandom hasn't fazed them in the slightest after *years* so I have no idea why people are still at it. (Sorry, Edward, this wasn't all aimed at you per se. I only meant to reply with the top part and then the bottom part came spilling out. I've been reading too many mean/superior comments below these videos for months now, I should really stop.)
And Taleisin is... a unique player. I love his style. He’s not a selfish player, but not in the same way Sam and Travis are. Part of it is his character, but he plays the part so well and adds an intelligence to the party that compliments Sam and Travis’ characters so well.
@@brittanydiamond6772 I feel the same way. As a DM I have no problem when my players try and see what options are available to them. Sometimes I forget things, sometimes they do. Sometimes the rules don't support something that should be logical. Sometimes people come up with unconventional approaches. That's how this game works. You have to test things, see what works. They don't stay bogged up in long debates over the rules. They may try and argue a point but then Matt says his point and they move on. That's how the game works. The level of hate people have for half the cast of a show that takes hours to get through even a single episode of makes no sense to me. It's to me, extremely indicative of some serious character flaws that probably makes them more of a pain at the table than these players ever could be. If you spend months or longer watching a show about make believe, and spend most of it criticizing the way the cast plays, there's something really broken inside of you and your criticisms are very likely just a projection of either yourself or the biases you've formed from your own experiences. Either way you're letting it have an unhealthy influence on you.
@@brittanydiamond6772 I agree. I play bloodbowl have done for 5 years and I will STILL confirm with my opponent That Ive calculated how many dice Im about to throw...... EVERY TURN. Its to make sure we are both happy before I roll. Ive played with players that just pick up dice and roll so fast that they made mistakes but the game has already rolled on before Im able to realise and pull them up. By this time it can cause real arguments.
@@jgamer2228 the dad basically told him he wasn't shit and didn't accept him for who he was, a flamboyant nerd with the heart of an adventurer only for him to then have him abducted in the night and dragged home to try and get him into an arranged marriage. Bet money if vox machina hadn't caught up to him and basically been at his side the dad wouldn't have gave him a choice in this matter.
@@ProperlyGaming Gonna second this, hard agree. Tary's dad didn't get where he was by being any kind of nice or any kind of good. He got there by digging a hole deeper and deeper to keep up appearances. He got there by lying and manipulating. He got there by letting his mouth write checks that his ass couldn't cash. There's not a doubt in my mind he was more than happy to sell his own son (and let's be real, that's what an arranged marriage is. It's a parent selling their offspring for profit.) just to keep up his posh lifestyle.
Dear god I wish that Taryon had responded to his sister’s “consider the bloodline over one selfish action” speech with this: “I’ll consider that when you and Papa start to consider me as a person rather than an object to be bartered”. Because that is literally all they’ve done since he got there! Guilt trips and emotional blackmail and “you now have a purpose in this family/your arrival is a great boon to us”. Good on you Matt for making me hate these bastards so much!
Lessons learned through TTRPG: Parents, a) never live your lives vicariously through your children, and b) never force your children to live their lives for you.
To be fair, he did rob his family and leave them with basically nothing, then blew all that money in less than a year. He's nothing close to innocent here
@@captainbirch2.079you’ve made multiple comments implying Tary intentionally left his family with little to no money. You seem to be the only one that didn’t get the major part in this: he literally had zero clue that they were going broke.
Running tracks are 400meters. It takes 4 times around a track to complete 1600 meters which equals one mile. When someone says a quarter or half mile or a mile etc, its easy to convert into meters by how many times around a running track that is.
Still, she plays her leadership features, you know the ones she had to prove in the years-long set of ordeals, as well as she plays a PC with the Wisdom of 22 when jumping off a 1000ft cliff 😂 The "inspirational speech" was hardly a speech and definitely had nothing to do with being inspirational, unless cringe counts for inspiration.
It was one of the options for Taryon's book name a few episodes back. The name they went with for the episode plays way too well with the events in it.
When Sam tells Travis he’ll give him a Jump coin and Travis asks if he’ll sing “Jump” by Van Halen when Grog uses it, I so wanted Sam to say, “What am I, a bard? No.”

Corpse: {Gives brief description} Party: So this is like that babygod we fought Matt: It isn't like that babygod {Party gets to bottom of hole} BABYGOD
Well to be fair Scanlan did that in secret and the next time it is brought up everyone acted as if they knew. It's a latter day meta effect where players only remember the information and not whether the PC actually did.
I love that Matt quickly glanced up when Marissa mentioned freedom of movement canceled out difficult terrain. Its like he was looking to see how they reacted and if they payed attention to what she said. It’s definitely something he likes to use in battles like this.
When Grog said "really?" at there being "no such thing as solving family problems forever" XD. All I could think was him going: "I killed my tyrant of an uncle, my family problems have been pretty solved ever since"
Dotey, take this down. As I stare into the void, this gaping hole of unknowable depth I am reminded of the guardswoman I mated with. Like this hole, the abyss I gazed into returned the sentiment and the bottom never revealed itself to me by sight. With the terror mounting as we head within I worry that, like then, I will not reach the bottom. However the stakes are much higher now, as instead of the possibility of making life, there is a high chance of death. I fear for my companions, risking themselves for me. I've leared so mu-oh tgat's right... Dotey's still at Whitestone...

williamwall first of all yes Matt is amazing, second am I the only one who thinks that would be the very first question someone would ask upon hearing “I like to read”… Just saying not much of a curveball.
The demon watching them at the Slayers cake for the last year oddly loved it because it already binged all the seasons of great British baking show on Netflix
Roll 2, Reliable Talent treats rolls 2 to 9 as a 10 so the roll is considered 10. Proficiency +6, Expertise +6, Dex mod +5, Pass Without Trace +10 = 37.
John Jones Late reply, but technically reliable talent includes nat 1’s as well. “Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.”
desperately trying to finish campaign 1 as fast as I can so I can start and catch up on campaign 2 to have something to look forward to every Thursday!! Can't wait!!!!!
@Hylian Hero You are a strange creature, I'm watching CR and dread the moment I'll catch up, having to wait a week to get a new episode is a rather bad prospect.
I mean percy is still wanting to hunt Scanlsn down for the gun he traded with grog for, even though percy shouldn't know anything about it. Pike and grog are still emotionally hurt by his sudden departure. Vax, Vex, and Keyleth all seem kinda done with the whole deal. So it isn't alls that surprising that they wouldn't send baked goods
@@walfman100 I'm sure Percy keeps a VERY close list of all he has given guns to considering how much he despises his invention. It's not surprising that he has figured out that Scanlan took a gun especially considering how much Scanman wanted one.
@@walfman100 he actually knows by registering every gun he found on Ripley's team, and Scanlan stole the gun after Percy saw and could count them, so... Going by how much the bard wanted one, someone as intelligent as Percy would certainly have figured it out.
names for fantasy cocktails that my group came up with: 1. Sparkling Starburst 2. Hunter's Brew 3. Fairy Dust 4. Honeyed Words 5. Knight's Oath 6. Pillow Talk UPDATE: i shared some of these names on a mixology video, if you are old enough and would like to bring deeper immersion to your games... here are the recipes. Hunter's brew: 1p Jaegermeister 2p ginger beer, stir the Jaegar over ice if not chilled beforehand, strain into collins glass, add one large ice spear, top with ginger beer and garnish with a black spruce sprig if available, (or mint if you're not from the arctic circle... pleb.) Honeyed words: 2p vodka 1dash cinnamon schnappes 3p sweet mead and a pinch of grated nutmeg, shake the vodka and schnappes, strain into a coupe, float the mead on top, dust with nutmeg, express and garnish with an orange peel. A clove is optional. (Resist the urge to use a cinnamon stick) Knight's oath: literally any mulled wine served hot during winter in a beer stein. Bonus if spiked with cheap apricot brandy. Pillow talk: 2p cognac 1p Grand Marnier 2 dashes absinthe stirred over ice and strained into champagne glass, fill with champagne, express and garnish with orange peel like usual.
My favorite from my players was the special for their tavern the Arse's Whisper, since none of them knew what they were doing for brewing and had a bag of holding filled like Grog's with rotted body parts, called the Dumpster Dragon. They basically threw all their gross junk into barrels of ale and sold it.. they then wondered why they became the hottest bar among the necromancer community LOL.

His speed while hasted with the wings is 120 feet, and if he takes the dash action as his main action and his bonus action, his distance covered in a 6-second action is 360 feet (movement, action, bonus; 120 each), which works out to 60fps, or roughly 41 mph. Still an incredible feet, but he's not out-racing modern high-performance sports cars.
With a fly speed of 60 boots of haste bring it to 120 which he can move with his movement, action, bonus action, and hasted action. 120 * 4 = 480ft / 6 seconds which translates to 80ft per second or 55ish miles per hour
Matt has been quoted as to having regretted giving his players such powerful items, but to be fair these characters were all originally from Pathfinder where their items had different effects, or their effects were less strong. He has gone on record though saying to think twice before giving your players items that increase their spell DC - Keyleth's Spire and Scanlan's Hand Cone.
The boots of haste are a less-than-balanced conversion from Pathfinder, which happened to synergize a little too well with the Deathwalker's Ward armor that was initially intended for someone else and the basic rogue rules and it's too late to really rebalance any of them. As much as the actual roleplay doesn't reflect it, Vax is the anime protagonist of the group
this is too relatable a;lsdfj i've only been able to stay awake for the entire show a handful of times, & i've been watching live since the beginning of this year :/

24:05 Keyleth: "There's no such thing as family problems being ok for forever" Grog having straight up murdering his POS uncle thereby fixing his family problems forever: "Really?" That's how i took that "really?" anyways.
Liam impersonating a fiend watching Taryon's bake blondies killed me!"I WANT A BLONDIE!!!"I can see it now 6 rough and tough pit fiends and archdevils getting together to bake every Thursday to follow Taryon's recipes on the live stream. Asmodeus turns on the arcane feed, "Hey Orcus 'Slayer's Cake' is on, everyone shut the hell up. Tiamat warm the oven!"Tiamat annoyed retorts, "we are in the nine hells it's already warm!"All the blondies come out burnt and crumble to ash and they start bickering about whose fault it is like an old couple.
While that is a fun idea.... If I'm not mistaken, Orcus is a demon lord, and Asmodeus is an archdevil(THE archdevil, really) so i don't think they would get along.
So Taliesin measures health in terms of kittens and Travis measures area in terms of football fields. I'm just waiting to find out that Sam measures time in times he can play a song or something like that.
Mike Burkholder Also he's really good with that old man's voice! I was dying laughing all through the bar scene. I couldn't take him seriously with that hunchback walking 😂😂😂
@@sorbet_salamanderd2014 no idea if you even still watch but one halloween episode he dresses up as artagan from the feywild and a bunch of serious convos happen but i couldnt take him remotely serious in the costume
It changes from episode to episode.... They do such noob things or forget the basics every other episode ... Like Keyleyth jumping off a 1500 feet cliff and committing suicide :P
I'm so glad I watched the Legend of Vox Machina before listening to Campaign 1. I have a clear vision of what the characters look like, what the locations look like.
I started watching Campaign 1 when the pandemic started and then took a long break as my work scheduled changed - I'm just now coming up on the end of it with the goal of being totally caught up to where they are in campaign 3 by the end of 2023 - because I've been barreling through episodes over the last several months I've never stopped to watch the fan art during breaks until today and I am blown away by the commitmnet and dedication critters show to the NPCs. We may only get to meet them for a short period of time, but the art shows just how instantly they become a part of the vox machina story, of our stories. I love seeing that and may have to go back once I'm caught up to see all of the art. I love this community so much. Safe travels, adventurers
