a silly thought experiment/au on how a traitorous shadowhand, a leashed attack dog, a desperate alchemist, and an underpaid mercenary may meet differently through a series of unfortunate circumstance and timeline fuckery

huge fan of the Certified Silly lucien moments in the book

You know what? I’m gonna say it. Delilah Briarwood was the most normal of the leadership of the Cerberus Assembly.

She just wanted to save her husband. The rest of them are trying to eat the gods. Or bringing in a living eldritch city to devour everything. Or indoctrinating kids and making them kill their families.

Awful people

Exandria if Fjord and Jester had been allowed to seduce Ludinus and Vess:

[road-rhythm]

Jester: Were you hitting on her [Vess DeRogna]? Were you hitting on her? Caleb: Do you think that would have been useful?

No idea how I missed this bit in 2x99 my first time through

[strwpup]

so a friend and i were talking about who the current archmage of antiquities must be over in the CA

and she said, well, it would be vess's annex, right?

and i started searching the wiki for every known annex, and i started looking through the transcripts, and i learned that only three annexes have ever been mentioned by name. zana deelio (da'leth's annex), vence nuthaleus (former da'leth annex).

and motherfucking enchater pumat sol.

now im not saying this is cannon, but, pumat sol is an annex of the cerberus assembly and his contact was vess. and the wiki states that annexes are directly beneath the eight chief mages of the CA.

i cannot prove myself right but ALSO im not sure it can be proven wrong. so,

I’m dumb and nearly forgot to ask why the Somnovem didn’t accept Vess as the Nonagon once she exploded Lucien’s soul.

Saw some art that reminded me that Vess DeRogna existed which is literally something I haven't thought about once since her death. It's just so funny to me that this super powerful member of the Cerberus Assembly died in an incredibly horrific way, but is only mentioned a couple of times before the end of c2, and then literally never again.

"do not trust ludinus."

vess predicts the events of campaign 3.

-Critical Role Campaign 2, Episode 109, "Frigid Propositions"

[pocketgalaxies]

absolutely terrifying to know that they just like have vess derogna's fancy lil beacon tripod in their haversack. just begging for a happy little scry the moment it's pulled out

ROUND 1, POLL 16

Which NPC is the best overall character?

[impossiblehobbit01]

Every once in a while I remember that we got absolutely no closure on the whole Vess Derogna situation. Like, we're told who replaces Trent but we don't really know who replaced Vess or if the Nein got the situation resolved??? This whole thing is hilarious to me I love it

[essektheylyss]

I've gotta be honest folks, I don't have a witty comment for this one, primarily because [Essek voice] "What happened to Vess DeRogna?" lives in my head rent free.

Here, relax and have a whiskey cocoa.

Vess DeRogna, Archmage of Antiquities, 100% had started to suspect Ludinus Da'leth's true age, and that's why they hated each other's guts. If Lucien hadn't gotten to her, she'd have had months left at most
