I love the balancing act of Malcolm and Grimoria's drives to investigate, Leo's paranoia, and Edgar's need for proof/evidence before making assumptions

Tonight is my 1-year anniversary of my Twitch sub, which also means I've been caught up and watching live for a year after 2 years of watching the 1st and 2nd campaigns!!!

Just posting because I love this community and love how much my life improved by joining (barring the emotional damage done to me in certain episodes but I do love drama).

Love ya Critters!

#critical role #1 year of watching live!!!! #critters are so cool

Matt replied to a comment on X/Twitter asking about last episode's combat ending

IMAGE BELOW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BELLS HELLS EPISODE 91!!!

A good GM knows that there are times when story is more important than rules, and this is a prime example.

Critical Role Spoilers (All Campaigns)

I keep seeing posts about some of this and it's making me put the dots together and see a weird coincidence.

SERIOUSLY SPOILERS BELOW DON'T READ UNLESS YOU ARE CAUGHT UP ON ALL CAMPAIGNS OR DON'T MIND SPOILERS

I think there is a curse on being the person that is best friends/starts the campaign with Barbarians on Critical Role

Campaign 1 (Grog): I believe he started the campaign with Pike, Pike died pre-streaming. Also is bffs with Scanlan, who died ("FIX HIM 😭") and even though he was brought back, proceeded to leave the party for a while

Campaign 2 (Yasha): She started with Molly at the circus. Molly died. And yes, due to nonagon stuff his body did come back, Molly and Kingsley are not the same

Campaign 3 (Ashton): Started the campaign with FCG, who just died in a blaze of glory. While we don't know what comes next, the pattern above holds true

Moral of the story: beware, dear CR cast members, if you start campaign 4 with the party's barbarian. Who knows what your fate may hold...

I was rewatching some old 4-Sided Dives this morning bc I'm still in a weird mood since Thursday night. I'm watching episode 8 and -

Then a little bit later:

CURSE YOU 4SD FOR SPEAKING IT INTO EXISTENCE!!!!

#cr spoilers #critical role #bells hells #4 sided dive #sam riegel #taliesin jaffe #marisha ray #matthew mercer #cr fcg #fcg #original convo was about what marisha was doing backstage when laudna died #why did they speak it into existance?!?! why?!?!?

Some outcomes of Critical Role episode 91 (that happened either because of or completely separate from the big thing)

SPOILERS!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Starting with the ones not due to FCG's sacrifice:

Liliana has some level of trust and attempts at redemption with her daughter (those 31's on deception and persuasion Laura you legend!), which means a major player (and VESSEL?? tf was that about) who was formerly (and maybe kind of still) on Ludinus's side is swapping over

Ashton and Fearne are about to be exhausted from being Titans (Ashton much sooner since they powered up in ep. 90)

Zathuda is both proud and angry towards Fearne which is both terrifying and a bit heartwarming(?)

Nana (I think/hope it was her bending fate) was able to help Team Infiltration escape the Weavemind after Orym reached out

Now for the other outcomes due to FCG's sacrifice:

Orym's deal with Nana should be void since the group cannot return as they were (VM Spoiler Note: Liam's PC was finally saved from a deal leading to a life of service by Sam's PC after he wasn't able to in C1)

Chetney is ALIVE! I'm counting this as part of the sacrifice bc due to weird leveling circumstances Sam sacrificed his one brand-new 7th-level spell slot to take Revivify, which is a major thing to give up

Otohan is DEAD! GONE! That is a MAJOR player off the board and another one of Ludinus's high-ranking members off the board

FCG is dead, seemingly unrevivable based on how Matt phrased it (asking to make sure Sam understood what it meant). That will have MAJOR implications going forward.

On a D&D technical level, there is no primary healer meaning that Fearne has to take some healing spells or the party can't heal at all (pretty sure they used up all their potions during that fight).

On a character level, this is going to be devastating. Ashton, who started this whole adventure with FCG and has been saying for a LONG time that FCG was going to get themself killed, was unconscious when FCG made the ultimate sacrifice. Sending works, which means when they get back to Exandria, Imogen will probably be the one to let FRIDA know what happened.

On a slightly lighter note, I feel like Travis is going to shine next week. It's been said before and I'll say it again, Chetney is the heart of Bells Hells. He knows how to be there for this family and I have a feeling that will come to the forefront as we see the aftermath

I'm sure there are more outcomes, but these are the ones on my mind after barely sleeping last night following that episode. Sam knows how to play this game well and cuts straight to the heart while doing so. It was masterfully played and while completely devastating to watch, was also incredibly heroic and beautiful.

Good game, great players, amazing DM, and of course thank you Fresh Cut Grass for being a Faithful Care-Giver until the end

SAME HERE!!!! I'm an east coast US viewer and I try to nap before the show so I don't feel as exhausted in the morning. Then today Critical Role has to be all crazy cryptic with their newsletter and 5 hour episodes and an early break...

... to stressed to be well-rested

I was gonna take a nap because I am dead tired but then Critical Role was all like, "tee hee! 5 hour ep! stay hydrated! super early break!" and now I'm too anxious/excited to sleep. Still as dead tired as someone's probably gonna end up by the end of the night, though.

Cutest Omar moment of 4SD:

[ilanarose7]

To add more angst and love to this:

Ashton was technically still in their Titan form, in which they don't feel any of their chronic pain.

This was Ashton's first hug in gods know how long that didn't cause them any pain

Ya'll I cant stop thinking about the fact that Ashton has said time and time again that he does not liked to be touched. Touching hurts them in ways that is both deeply personal and intricate to their character and yet at the prospect of finding Fearne around the corner, they throw it to the wind to hug her
