Sam’s flask says “Spot the Difference” between a picture of Marisha’s meme face from Undeadwood ep.3 and a turtle with its head pulled into its shell. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

Beau: "I pick and choose my apologies." Caduceus: "I give mine freely." Two characters described in two lines.

Beauregard: gains literally 1 Wisdom Also Beauregard: _"Ah, I have unlocked 'apologies', this will be useful in the future.."_

Travis, beginning of the campaign: “shopping? Kill me now.” Travis now: “Pumat! LET’S GOOOOO!”

The girls: Hell yeah badass tattoos! The guys: Deep emotional communication

Nott: Gets a face tattoo Nott cosplayers: Hoo boy

Boy time: having emotionally vulnerable conversations about religion, destiny, and self image Girl time: passing out getting group tattoos on the docks

Taliesin: "Can we make a therapy character class, by the way?" Sam: write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!

"If you're poking holes in a bucket, it doesn't matter where the hole is - just how many." Caduceus once again showcasing his high wisdom.

"I pull out Molly's tarot cards" Talisen: *light's up in surprise and delight*

The Campaigns questions in a nutshell: 1) Do you know Pumat Sol? 2) What is happening with the chairs? Newest one: "Who are the members of the Taldorei Council?

im obsessed with the casts mission to get matt to tell them about their old characters lmao

Man, imagine if Caleb had learned from someone like Yussa instead of getting sent to Torture Hogwarts

The CR fandom: headcanons jester with soft, dainty body type Matt at every chance he gets: "jester is fucKIN RIPPED"

Beau: I apologise... Everyone: - take 6d6 psychic damage-

When Taliesin says, “I’ve seen people who have only found out their kids have tattoos at their funerals” I have to wonder: Was that a Taliesin anecdote or a Caduceus anecdote? Because, it could honestly be both.

I lost my sh** when Travis pretended to be poor little Sprinkle reaching for a morsel of food. "Please" *tiny paw grab*

Fjord: "I'm kind of perfect" Also Fjord: *has 13 Strength, 11 Dexterity, and 7 Wisdom* My man had so many options

My mom: Be careful, D&D leads to some pretty dark stuff! It's associated with cults and people have committed suicide!! Mr. Liam Christopher O'Brien: Wait! I wanna roleplay fish n' chips!!!

If this campaign ever gets animated I hope Sprinkle gets the odd focus like Scrat from Ice Age. Just trying to survive in the background of the main charaters story.

The girls: CHAOS CREEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW *_*Falls unconscious*_* The guys: Heartfelt talk to one another

Jester saying "I will send you a message the minute we know anything." is the best threat I've heard through the entire campaign

I was waiting for Orly to say "Capn that's a weird accent you got there"

Matt gushing over imaginary small animals with a russian accent is not something I knew I needed, but boy did I need it.

Matt: "As you return with greasy fingers-" Liam: "You don't just skip over a chance for me to flex my acting chops."

Great save from Jester. "Who's familiar is this?" "Oh hey, look at this weasel!" *utterly distracted*

"What's your Armor Class, Caduceus?" No player EVER wants to hear that out of the blue.

There's something really talented about Liam being able to do awful accents while still keeping in-character with Caleb.

Sam: "Okay, I'll do charisma." ( Nott's card appears, showing a Charisma score of *5* )

Yussa: "Then you are a smart goblin." Jester: "Halfling..." Me: crying

"I wanna role play Fish and Chips! Back. It. UP." "I roll for vinegar!"

Beau getting a tattoo like Molly and Taliesins reaction to her saying "I pull out Mollys tarot cards..." ouch, my heart.

Getting emotional seeing these fictional characters go from “just a bunch of assholes” to morally dubious and confused friends to a family that’s trying to save the world

M9 girls: On a boat, getting tattoos from sailors to become stronger. M9 guys: Go out to eat and talk about their problems, feelings, and the future. I love it. Also, I'd gladly give up one of my current players to have a player at the table who shouts "I want to roleplay fish and chips!" Liam is a treasure.

Argh! Couldn't stay conscious for my tattooing. Killed my whole family.

Sam: **implies the Marisha was in cheer when she was actually in dance, an honest mistake** Matt, protective husband: uHm, ACTually...

Throwback to like episode 5 where Marisha totally called there being some sort of force causing monsters to become hungry and agressive.

If there's ever a Legend of the Mighty Nein cartoon, Patric Warburton should voice Pumat. *"Oh, right, the potion, the potion for Caleb, the potion specifically designed to help Caleb, Caleb's potion... That potion?"* *"Yes, that potion!"* *"Gotcha covered."*

Beau: "You think she's confiding in him?" Nott: "...I mean, she confides in everybody..." Travis and Liam: [delayed wheezing laughter] Matt: [laughs and gestures "Well, you're not wrong..."]

After slapping Beau's new tattoo, Fjord is lucky he didn't receive a K.O.-Regard.

1:15:05 i love that detail of caleb rubbing at his arm and looking disturbed as balls at the idea of gem tattoos. Liam's such a great RPer

@26:20 Hunger. Molly. The devil toad and Mollymauk's question back at the very beginning. "Why *now*? He was fine, normal, for so long. Why now?" Ah, and Marisha caught it.

"Nott, you have to understand the difference between an opportunity and a temptation. That was a temptation." Taliesin is a gem. This was incredible. And nobody even batted an eye. I think they're too used to his massive amounts of wisdom.

48:19 Yussa: “You are a smart goblin.” Jester: “ *Halfling* ” Can we take a second to appreciate this small moment? This and the entire scene of them convincing Nott/Veth not to give in to Halas was absolutely brilliant, but this one quiet little line made my heart squeeze. I love supportive friends!!

seing Talesin light up and being proud when she takes out Molly's card is just the sweetest thing ever...

Matt playing a powerful wizard headmaster that loves kitty cats was fucking amazing.

plot twist: the person scrying is the ASPCA scrying to see if Sprinkle is ok

The paper attack is so damn wholesome. Matt's "The universe always finds a way to humble me" after a failed cool move, everybody laughing and Travis going "First, are you okay? :)" Also Matt's answer was just perfect. This crew just feels so personable, it's nice.

They finally made the charismatic character do the talking and he immediately forgot why they were there and it ended up on Nott and Jester again 🤣🤣🤣

"I pull out Molly's tarot cards." The hush that fell over the table at that moment...

I would love it if the only Vox Machina member on the council was Grog.

The Good Garden speech is one of my favorite moments of the campaign. Taliesin just improvising a mighty proverb to lift Caleb's spirits and help him feel loved.

Orly coming to wake the mighty nein with breakfest he made himself going ”mmmm made breakfest” just to see them all dissapear in thin air kinda broke my heart a bit :(

Local Goblin is APPALLED That DM Committed Stabbing During Shopping Trip

I'm such a big fan of every one of Yussa's friends calling him a fool upon introduction

"Whoa whoa whoa. I wanna role-play fish and chips." I completely agree Liam.

Travis just DYING into his mug as Caleb tries to do Fjord's accent.

awwwwwww man i was so hoping for Orly to have hired a group of familiar looking lads who might or might not have tried to rob m9 in the past as additional crew

Everytime they honor Molly, you can see Talesin just glow with happiness

What people think boys talk about: food, crushes and dumb stuff What boys actually talk about: faith, destiny, failure

Updates on Sprinkle every 18 episodes are amazing.

Caleb: How were you guys planning on beating that? Caduesus: Together Caleb: We'll lose Fjord: Then we'll do that together too.

Popular opinion: Orly is entirely too precious and Matthew is amazing for bringing him to life.

I love Taliesin's head bobbing up and down as Laura explains that Jester is hopping excitedly. It's such a small detail but it made the scene in my head fill with that much more life as I pictured Caduceus' eyes following the little blue trickster.

I love this so much because I think that excluding Yasha, Beau was actually the one who was most affected by Molly's death. She isn't vocal about her feelings in the same sense that some of the others in the MN are, but it's in the nuances and the little details, I think. How Beau was the one who kept his trinkets and tarot cards, and the gift Calianna had for him. They weren't best friends or anything, but they got along really well and I think if Molly had stayed alive, they would've grown to be very close due to their similar natures. I don't know where I'm going with this, I just think it's so fitting that Beau chose to get a tattoo that honours him in a way, and the fact that she's been sitting on it for a long time shows just how much it means to her. I often imagine her visiting his grave every now and again by herself and saying, "fuck you Molly" in a quiet, shaky voice before dropping to her knees and just kind of sitting there, tears stinging her eyes but instead of crying she just sort of meditates and steels herself, bows her head in respect for her friend whose sacrifice made her want to leave every place she goes a little brighter than she found it.

When Matt does the Gilmore Voice as a joke, it's like an awesome cameo of Gilmore, and I'm just like, "Oh right. I forgot Gilmore was played by Matt and wasn't a real person..."

When he said "Woah woah woah, I wanna roleplay fish and chips" *I felt that* 😩

The whole “what do you think they’re talking about” interaction is golden, and then Cad hearing it all 😂

I love the way Matthew looks at Marisha when she gets her tatoo. It just says "I love this woman so much" and I live for it😭

24:22 "If you're poking holes in a bucket, it doesn't matter where the hole is. Just how many." Bravo, Taliesin.

I absolutely love how at the beginning of every session everybody are uncertain of how to start the game, and Sam just makes AAAGH sound to make an entry

Matt: "It's good to have a Marisha in every party." Me, who takes detailed and funny notes: ✨😊✨

Fjord and Beau give me MAJOR sibling vibes, I know everyone is saying Caleb and Beau are empire sibs and I love that but also her relationship with Fjord is amazing.

I love how Caleb, of all of the characters, is canonically bad at accents

Tharizdun aint got nothing on being more terrifying than your DM asking you "What's your armour class" out of no where in what appeared to be a calm and safe situation 😂

I think part of what is so lovable about Orly and Pumat Sol is they are such genuinely warm and friendly characters. It is always so fun to see them acted out.

I’m so happy that Caduceus recognised how much Caleb has been putting the group first. I feel like the others are incredibly mistrusting at times, and I suppose I relate to Caleb’s wanting to be understood and be able to show the care he feels to his friends, but that for now at least it remains difficult for him

Matt at Episode 1: So this campaign is going to be more of a gray area rather than good guys vs bad guys... Matt at Episode 83: I have decided that I want everyone to die.

wow. Beau dropping that "Power word: sorry" never saw it coming

Yussa: "You're a smart goblin" Jester: "Halfling" Yussa: smiles "halfling" And with that, Yussa has become one of my favorites. Just the immediate acceptance and correcting himself. I love him

As a tattoo artist who is always doing voices... imma be doing Orly’s when we get out of this lockdown. My clients goonnna be like. WTF? Thanks Matt

Beau: An apology, genuine, and heartfelt Cadeuces: Look of sheer joy and disbelief, as if he saw the Wildmother herself materialize and say thank you for his tea

Marisha Ray is verified as the adult of Critcal Role, gets a fortunes worth of platinum and first thought is, "do we need to pay taxes"

halfway through the ep rn and i cannot believe these people mighty nein: caleb maybe you should go with us thooo to see the assembly's reaction me: my brothers in christ they're his abusers

Oh wow, so many strong moments in this episode. Matt, Travis, and Taliesin's reaction to Beau's tattoo choice made my heart absolutely soar. Caduceus's speech to Caleb was definitely something I needed to hear tonight. I know I'm a year off, but thank you for this.

Take a shot every time Matt says "and because you rolled so high"

"Nott, you have to understand the difference between an opportunity and a temptation. That was a temptation." Cad having a high Wisdom is just a reflection of Taliesin's actual wisdom.

One day Jester will remember she has mail at the Pillow Trove.

Dairon: "I have only told a few individuals about this supposed Kryn traitor responsible for bringing the beacon into the empire." M9: *All look like this is entirely new information*

48:14 When Jester said “Halfling” I just- my heart is so full of love for her

AWWW, poor Orly, he just wanted to eat breakfast with his new friends

3:33:28 Marisha opens a pack of gummies and everyone "sneaks" a bite then Sam looks at Marisha like "these are disgusting" the reply "What are you talking about they are good"

The happiness in Travis's face when he hears Orly's voice is the best thing ever

The moment during fish and chips where Caleb said “You two are alright.” And Fjord replied with “So are you. You should give yourself more credit.” Hit me so hard emotionally

“We need a therapist class” we have that, it’s called a caduceus

So a person connected to Ludinas is involved with a plot to release something that could harm the gods... The amount of layers Matt has put into this story, mind blowing.

Taliesin's reaction to Beau bringing out Molly's tarot deck and saying what she wanted for the tattoo design was so sweet omg

"You gotta' know the difference between an opportunity and a temptation." That quote's gonna be with me for the rest of my life

Gotta love how tattoos k.o. them faster than an anicent unkillable amalgamation.

i let out the loudest, saddest, "oh no" when they teleported away as Orly came out with breakfast. Matt, you can't do this to us, man.
