#Matthew Mercer what the fuck

[quinn-of-aebradore]

Liam: yeah there was this mysterious attack on Zephrah and my husband and father in law died

Matt: yeah alright great, that attack was an attempt to lure out Vax to defend Keyleth so he could be transformed into a component in a machine to free a god killer by Ludinus Da’leth, who Caleb is currently pursuing

HELP

[vandersprodigy18]

You know, i was JUST thinking about how much I missed the Arch Heart and specifically how Abu portrays him and then Matt comes out with a steel chair

[pocketgalaxies]

matt said i'm gonna bring back the chair in the middle of the room except this time it's a loom for human flesh

The GM Flow

MATT: Because there's two people who GM games, I will say, when I started this adventure, like my intros and stuff, I was nervous, I was fumbling over words, I was forgetting things, I was very much just trying not to buckle under the pressure of expectation, trying to do this good for you guys. And then as the series goes on, as you get comfortable, at a certain time, especially towards the end of a major narrative, you hit that GM flow stage.

AABRIA: Yep!

BRENNAN: Yeah.

MATT: And you're just like, "Okay, what are you gonna do? Great. Let's spin that into weird.

How can I fuck with you? How can I ruin your thoughts right now? How can I take your heart and pull it outta your chest and you'll love it? All right, cool.

It's your turn."

THE TABLE: *erupts*

LOU: *recoils*

The Ravening War was slated to be six episodes long and Matthew Mercer introduced a whole-ass underground civilization that exists in this interwoven web of consciousness that is warm and welcoming in the most terrifying way possible on episode three

WHAT IN THE CRITICAL ROLE JUST HAPPENED TO ME

I'm watching cr2 for the first time and I'm at episode 98

And Veth is talking with Yeza about maybe settling down in Nicodranas... And he just asked her to be careful and not put herself in too much danger

And after what happened this past monday ((we are all still crying)) Matthew Mercer from early 2020 hits me with a line directed at early 2020 Sam Riegel

"There are a lot of tales of heroic sacrifices"

...........

I'M SORRY???

RIGHT AFTER FCG'S HEROIC SACRIFICE???

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[alliekitaguchi]

the critical role cast is laughing. marisha is laughing. matthew is laughing. laura is laughing.

matthew just confirmed that vax has been punished every time he saves keyleth because he's breaking the rules. he's breaking the rules of the gods to save the love of his life, regardless of the consequences because she's his everything.

and they're LAUGHING--

[ludinusdaleth]

an alliance is formed.

-Critical Role Campaign 3, Episode 49, "The Aurora Grows"

[undead-knick-knack]

The party is split up like children in a bitter divorce

[emiko-matsui]

unlucky jack 🤝🏼 ill luck henry

sea shanties about how much these old sailors' lives just fucking sucks sung by their close and loved ones in worlds created with the help of brian murphy and emily axford and written by their own players

[your-turn-to-role]

Keyleth tries to interrupt Ludinus doing his evil stuff -> Power Word Stun on Keyleth -> very very deadly attack barrage on stunned Keyleth -> Vax appears in a swoosh of raven feathers deflecting a (probably?) deadly blow -> "Don't even dare" -> Ludinus needed a "divine spark" and had prepared for this -> Vax gets laser focused by magic machine bullshittery -> Vax gets compressed into an orb/sphere -> orb Vax gets inserted into the machine as the last piece Ludinus needed to activate it -> something happened but we're not sure yet what we'll have to wait at least until next week for more info

hope it helps :)

OKAY

THIS IS FINE

god the person in the notes on that post saying this was just like how vax died but in reverse was R I G H T and i hate it

(for those who don't remember or didn't watch THAT fight. campaign vax did not perma die bc of his deal with the raven queen. his end of campaign death was just a formal goodbye bc he was already dead. his actual death happened in the first fight with vecna. when he got hit with a 22DC hold person he couldn't physically break out of. and being under hold person, means that disintegrate automatically hits. and if disintegrate takes your hit points below 0, you are not only dead, you can't be revived by any spell except for true res, which is the only resurrection spell the raven queen does not allow)

(and technically, disintegrate was cast on him twice, before it took effect. bc keyleth saved him the first time)

VAX’ILDAN JOINS THE BATTLE 

[missing-a-place-ive-never-been]

i legit started tearing up with Vex's 'oh..'

matthew is an ac-tor

[pocketgalaxies]

matt: this woman just called you "little girl" and is creepily eyeing you up and down, it's unsettling

marisha: nah beau is into it. anyway–

[lavendergoth]

Holy Shit, the dragons look so fucking good, the voice acting, the animation, the music all killed it.

And all the time, I’m just thinking about Matt sitting in his home planning this epic encounter for his friends and now he gets to see it in this near perfect form. He deserves every bit of it. They all do but Matt!!!

Your Chroma Conclave is killer.
