Murph: And that's where we'll end our session! Jake: (yelling) NO-O-O! [Emily and Caldwell shout and make sounds of distress in the background.] Jake: Good lord. Good lord. [Murph laughs.] Caldwell: Ya killed me, Murphy! Jake: I have to… take a bath! [Murph cackles. Emily laughs.] Jake: I need to go on a long walk, man. Caldwell: Sweet P! Jake: You ruined my night, Brian! Caldwell: Auhhhgh

[loudestlibrarianongodsgreenearth]

oh. okay. it’s fine. whatever

[your-turn-to-role]

also i didn't say it when i got to it bc i was distracted by the everything but i'm really glad they kept vax getting the kill on thordak and gave that moment the emotion it deserved?

bc like yeah pike having more of a role now she gets to be a series regular is awesome, don't get me wrong, and im super psyched to see where her character goes from here

but there are two wins against the dragons that need to stay. that, and what keyleth's gonna do to raishan

(and yeah in the original campaign liam did a lot of the work to create exactly that vibe during the combat, but it got to go so much harder with the soundtrack and the animation and the flashback and it was so goooood)

(though for those who do want to watch, have a truncated (most of the dice rolling and rules quibbling taken out) version of the campaign thordak fight, because i'm still not over the quiet "vax, be careful!" and "you did it" from vex)

Campaign 1, Episode 80

[ravendruid]

We can raise them by setting them on fire.

That is indeed how you raise baby dragons.

[gorgynei]

episodes with comparable pre-break lengths:

c1e52 (the kill box)

c1e79 (thordak)

c1e80 (raishan)

c1e113 (the final ascent)

c2e140 (long may he reign)

c2e141 (fond farewells)

btw break not starting until 3 hrs 20 minutes in is CRAZY. thats up there with the longest first halves in all of critrole and by far the longest first half for c3. basically we are getting some good combat tonight

[starrazorr]

i am WAILING over this revivify on scanlan. pike with the “i want to do what you asked, but i can’t raise kaylee on my own,” weeping as she holds him, scanlan coming to and reaching up to brush away her tears and saying, “don’t cry, i’m just a little cold” and she laughs through her tears oh my god people who don’t like pikelan have NO TASTE

[mountainofschist]

I’m starting C1E80

[stone-stars]

i am simply having a lot of feelings about beverly choosing to be a hero because moonshine answered when he reached out and was in need

Transcript:

[Unknown Tome plays in the background.] Bev Sr.: [yelling] I'll tell ya what to do, Bev. Ya turn around, and ya face Thiala. The one who took our home from us. Pick a side, Beverly. Beverly: [softly] … Yes sir. Murph: Um, he holds his hand out to you. Caldwell: I start walking. Uh, and as I'm walking I-- I try to reach out to the spores. I try to reach out to the amulet. I just try to reach out to anything that isn't this. That isn't this duty. That I've always felt deep down. Murph: Moonshine, you feel Beverly in this moment. [Moonshine gasps] Just-- it's faint, it's far away. Beverly: [voice breaking] I don't want to go. I don't wanna go, but I have to. It's my duty. I have to do this! Moonshine: Okay, youngin, I want you to know, I will love you whatever you choose to do. But, here's my two cents. [Unknown Tome fades out.] Moonshine: A child has a duty to his father. [The Blows of a Friend, And Not a Foe plays] Bev Sr: Thanks, Bev. I always-- I knew I could make the deal ‘cause I-- I knew you’d stop me. Moonshine: But a hero has a duty to the world. [Fabric of Fate plays] Melora: Beverly? Beverly: Yes? Melora: I wish you could grow up in a normal world, but the Gods have not blessed you with a normal life. You are afflicted with duty, things thrust upon you far beyond your years. The world should have protected you, but you have been asked to protect it. What an honor, what an injustice. Moonshine: Now, I’ve got my opinion of which you are. [The Writing on the Wall plays] Murph: And you begin to make out what they’re saying. They’re all saying different versions of the same thing. You hear old people, young people, children: Different voices, in prayer: Please, please let my family be safe. I don’t want to die. Give them strength. God bless our Titans in our hour of need. Protect us, Titans! Murph: You realize that these are prayers about you, or to you, by people around Bahumia. You see that the glowing script on the walls begins to make sense to you. The writing is constantly changing to match the words of these prayers depending on what language they’re speaking. And all signs point to this being the way to the Court of Gods. It would make sense that Gods would hear the pleas of their people as they went in to decide their fate. And here you, having a piece of this divine heart, are able to hear the people around Bahumia and their faith in you. [The Bahumia Theme replaces The Writing on the Wall] Moonshine: But it’s time for you to decide. Beverly: [tearful] Where would I be without the wisdom of the crick. [Moonshine gasps. They both laugh softly.] Moonshine: [also tearful] Where would I be without Pelor's light? Beverly: Deeper in hell than we already are, that's for sure. Moonshine: That's for sure. Caldwell: I nod to myself. I stop walking. [The Writing on the Wall returns] Caldwell: Can we write back? Murph: What do you write on the wall? Beverly: We are here. We are here for you. Murph: You feel an overwhelming sense of relief. What you have just done is essentially somebody praying to god, and god coming back and being like "I’m- I’m here." You hear the whispers come back in your head: Different voices: Oh, thank the gods. Thank you, Titans. Thank you! Protect us. We have faith in you!

also was NOT expecting this, and as much as i’m curious to know about the whole letter, part of me kind of wishes this is all we’ll ever get (it already is A LOT)

[your-turn-to-role]

liam: i don't think there's ever been a moment in this show where the group has all but one been whammied like that!

he, is right!

worst place they've ever been in was the first raishan fight with gnomes twins and gilmore all unconscious at one point, but they still had keyleth percy grog and kima up

[critrolecloset]

sam wore this rugrats chuckie shirt by the nick box on c1e80. the shirt was a part of the summer 2016 collection and is no longer available.
