Critical Role, Campaign 3 Episode 90
Nord VPN again ... so what this -- ah, I see ... Sam, you chaos gremlin ... yes, that's right, Samuel, you can't mess with these people ... Marisha: "I don't trust you, you piece of shit." Nor should you ...
Laura pronouncing EU as "ew" and Liam not quite getting it ... XD
Oh, so does this mean they really ARE splitting up for this part? Oof ... you know you're not supposed to DO THAT ...
Roll for which group goes first? Hmmm ... the bombers first, then ... okay ...
Ira you creepy fucker I swear I don't trust you as far as I can throw you ...
So ... it's a familiar familiarity then, Matthew?
Ashley sleight of hand Nat20? Awww ... and apparently she may just have given that old beggar a small fortune round here ...
The objective of the plan ... hmmm ... meanwhile it seems FCG may be grating on Ira's nerve some ...
Barking? Really? Probably not good ...
Perception check time ... hmmmm ... fancy insect skull ... viculch? Okay ... these things are MASSIVE ...
Oh crap ... Gloamglut? The fay dragon? Not a good sign ... Fearne's dad's close, clearly ...
Over to the other group? Okay ...
Sprawlgrotto? That is impossibly difficult to say, clearly ...
What to roll? Crap ...
Invisible shenanigans ... yup ...
Wow ... Marisha rolled SO SHIT for having advantage ... thank the gods for those Nat20s ...
Lots of myceit ... harvesting fungi? That's not, like, weirdly existentially odd for them?
Seriously, was Matt reading too much Dungeon Meshi when he came up with this stretch of the campaign?
Scry ball is pretty close now ... but still not EXACTLY where they're going ... O.O
Music? Interesting ... whoa! Street busking! Cool! A didgeridoo? Awesome ...
No way to know if they're under any casual observation ...
Awwwwww ... the twinsies continue to be so cute together ... :3
Con save for Chetney's flatulence ...
Okay, so ... are they close to their destination or what?
That is one HEAVILY GUARDED entrance ... any other ways in?
Awwww ... flirty witch girlfriend shenanigans ... I love them ... :3
Wow ... Matt's sexy pre campaign days on a t-shirt ... well done, Sam ... LOL
Already halfway though their invisibility? Not good ...
Whoa ... are they in the mad god's brain? Is this like Knowhere? Laura, your brain worries me sometimes ...
Ashley, what are you doing with that hood? :3
"Passing miners"? Congrats on dodging the Galaxy Quest ref there guys ...
So they're on high alert, then ... hmmmm ...
Uh-oh ... incoming ... and they're zeroing in on Ira ... great ...
"A dark armoured figure"? Crap ... shit! Zathuda? Balls ...
Weird ass Predator looking Hulk mofo ...
Sunder Lord? Interesting ... wait, so this might be the Sunder KING? Okay ... so this is Cruth, then ... the Reiloran big bad himself ...
Bollocks ... have then been sniffed out?
Everybody knows you don't give dogs chocolate! Even freaky alien ones!
Speak With Animals? Hmmmm ...
Oh for the love of the gods Sam, not again ... ewww ... and it's WET?!!! Come on Riegel!
Fearne is clearly DETERMINED for this thing to just be a GOOD BOY isn't she? I really DON'T think this is gonna work, Fearne!
I don't think that griffon meat's gonna work out, Ashton. It's WAY too old ...
Speak With Animals AND Command on the thing? Good luck with that, Letters ... or Fast Friends? Hmmm ... wow ... hope this is a good choice ... yeah, he Commands it to "GIT!!!!" And it works? Blimey ...
Wow, that was bloody close ... phew ...
HOLY FUCK did Ira just pull a Jedi mind trick on that guy? O.O
Flip flop, back and forth ... here we go ...
Cupped? Hmmm ... is that an "underboob" joke, perchance?
Yeah, I mean ... SURELY the rope itself would be invisible too since it was covered by the same spell ...
Spiderclimb PLUS Invisibility ... okay, here we go, then ...
Not NOTHER shite roll? Two 2s? Balls ... Marisha, WHY?!!!
Wow ... this has gone all kinds of Abbott & Costello ... oh thank the gods FINALLY a good roll ...
This plan keeps getting more and more convoluted and I love it ... LOL ...the stink of desperation is STRONG now ...
"Matt: "You're Batman-ing this! Like Adam West!" XD
I cannot believe that actually worked ... or did it? O.O
Oh yeah, OF COURSE they got spotted. That WAS a massive fuckup ...
Phew ... that was like SCARY close ... and NOW he checks for traps? Oof ... at least they're in ... so what now?
Aha! So Chetney could follow her scent? Cool ... oh WHAT?!!! A Cytaa? Is that HER Cytaa? Okay then ... Gona? Cute ... So yeah, this could work, then ...
Awww ... yeah, let her hide in Laudna's birdhous backpack! Yeah! Oh yeah ... yeah, better on their shoulders, rather than in there with Pate ... O.O
Time running out for Orym's Invisibility ... great ...
Back to the bombers, again ...
A new wall ... a "BLAST WALL?" Oh, that can't be good ...
Oh, so this is going to be a PROBLEM for them going forward?
Passwall? With the Staff? Would that actually WORK?
This shit is FIFTEEN FEET THICK?!!! Bloody hell ...
Oh, an Illusory spell? Yeah, that's best ... nice one, Ira. And now he's making will-o-the-wisp lights too ... FCG: "I don't know why I bother."
Some kind of seriously ugly drilling machine ... that thing is just NASTY ... 3 Reilorans and a Hulk? Hmmmm ... potentially risky ... is this gonna be a problem?
Oh, so THIS is gonna be the bombsite? Hmmmm ... good point, though ... they definitely need to deal with these guys too ... ah, so we're DEFINITELY doing this then ...
SIX big bombs ... of course ... why am I not surprised?
Time to fight, then ... AND THAT'S when we take a break? Of course it is ...
And we're back ... with the OTHERS again ... yeah, not really surprised ...
Chetney wolfs out in the dumbest possible way and I love it ... XD ... and somebody's coming ... great timing ...
"Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinstoooonnnn ..." Yup ... way to creep Matt out, Travis ... XD
Now Matt's doing secret sneaky DM stuff ... O.O ... oh dear ...
Balls ... GUARDS ... and they're like TOTALLY blocking the way ... how to get through? Wait ... Chetney's going to use his TOYS to do this? How?
Wow ... the Master Toymaker did BEAUTIFULLY there ... way to go, Chet! And now they're through ... sweet!
Grim Psychometry ... ON THE CRYSTAL?!!! Really, Chet? This sounds like SUCH bad idea ...
Aha, so they're like ... Reiloran SCIENTISTS, then? Hmmm ...
Ah, so THIS is the Bay? OKay then ...
Organs? BABY organs? Eep ... O.O ... in general this is all REALLY CREEPY ...
Oh dear gods what the fuck is THAT THING?
Hunter's Bane? Yeah, do it, Chet ... no hits ... phew ...
A fucking JUDICATOR is being autopsied? Holy fuck ...
Ah ... so that's who they're looking for ... and she's IN THE VAT!!! Great ... still alive, but ... yeah, this is clearly pretty bad ...
And we're back in the dig ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
CHARM!!! Yup ... and it WORKS!!! OKay ... oh, not on IRA though ... jump in front of him? Fearne, honey ... wow, I can't believe that worked ...
Okay, thats ONE down without a fight ...
Wow ... Ashton is, like, REALLY bad at Deception ... O.O
Wow ... Ira just set the timer while THIS SHIT'S going on ... oh fuck ... this is all going south SO FAST ...
Three minutes = one minute of game play ... oh boy ... rush it, guys!
Oh, so Ira is going to ABANDON ASHTON? Wow .., oh, no, THAT'S more like it ... the Juggernaut is now a SNAIL ... nice ...
And now they're running ... and having a jolly little convo while they're at it ...
BOOM ...
Dimension Door to the surface just as the bombs go off? Phew ... and now eveything is just CHAOS ... Fearne is FALLING!!! Shit! Oh, NICE SAVE, Ira! And now they're just BOOKING IT!!!
Fuck, this is gone all kinds of fucked ... wait, he wants to UNROLL THE HOLE, put Letters in it, roll it up again with him in it, and then RUN AWAY with it? That is one hell of a Hail Mary ... roll for Dexterity, then ... so that just HALVES THE DAMAGE ... oof ... and now he has to do a STRENGTH CHECK to see if he can HOLD ONTO THE HOLE?!!! Oh my fucking gods ... if this tanks they lose the Hole forever ... 16? Wow ...
That's a lot of dice for damage ... that is NEVER a good sign ... even half of THIS is gonna hurt ... and now he's SMILING ... 158 points of Force Damage? Holy shit ... even halved, that's stil 79 points each ... ouch ...
But at least they still have the Hole ...
And now 25 points of BLUDGEONING damage each ... oh boy ... is it over, at leaat?
Oh bollocks ... that FUCKING DRAGON again ...
Oh for fuck's sake ... flip flop AGAIN?
And the blast shakes the whole place EVEN HERE ... more chaos ... and the vat is CRACKED! Okay ... Orym goes for it, meanwhile Chetney just shouts out for an evacuation ... so that leaves just the Mystic AND the Shrike ... hmmm ...
Battlemap? Aha ... cue Wizzkids plug ...
Unsettling Presence? Cool ...
Invisibility definitely really helps with Stealth checks ...
Getting ready for a scrap ... and a timed attack ... okay, then ...
A SIXTH LEVEL Psychic Lance? Bloody hell, Imogen ... and now the Mystic is Incapacitated ... nice ... 29 points of SPsychi damage!
Orym Hexes the Mystic and goes for an attack ... it hits! Oh yeah, he is gonna FUCK THIS GUY UP ... 18 points! Action Surge! Yeah ... oh yeah, he just MURDERS that guy ... holy fuck ... and now he's going for the Shrike instead ... holy shit, tiny Battle Master is a BADASS ...
Laudna Banes the Shrike, then Chetney casts Blood Curse of Binding on it ... oh, the new Scythe! Sweet ... and it hits! 19 for the first hit, 17 damage for the second! Wow ...
And NOW it's time to roll Inititative ...
Nuts ... the Shrike's up first ... and it smashes the glass tank with the ... THING in it ...
Some kind of giant BUG ... OH MY FUCKING GODS what the hell IS THAT THING?!!!
Laura asks them to hold for a moment ... cue several folk singing Girl From Ipanema ... XD ... oh, sounds like a Hail Mary ... Synaptic Static? Whoa ... so that's both the Shrike AND that bug beast ... 25 points of Psychic damage each ... and it fucks 'em up for fighting, too ... PINK LIGHTNING? Awww ... that's cute! :3
Chetney casts Blood Curse of Bloated Agony on the beasty, then attacks with his Scythe ... and CRITS!!! Nice ... Double damage means 25 on each of the two hits! Yeah ... and then his scythe SHATTERS right away? Fuck ... unbelievable ... he just GOT THAT!!!
Orym jumps on the still prone Shrike and attacks again ... 10 damage, then 15 on the second, 13 on the third ... and he gets the HDYWTDT! Yeah ... ANOTHER murder!
Laudna skitters across the ceiling over it and casts Blight on the vidulch ... 8D8 of Necrotic damage? Nice ... 25 altogether? Pretty sweet ... then she Quickens and hits it with an Eldritch Blast ... first misses, but the next two hit! Yeah ...
The beasty's turn and it's GETTING UP ... oh this is UGLY ... but it's also HURT ... okay ... IT CAN MULTI-ATTACK?!!! I'm sorry? Oh yeah, this thing is just unleashing a big can of whoopass on EVERYBODY, innit? Wait, AND it has Corroding Spit? Seriously? Come ON Matthew! But apparently because it wasn't "done", it is also falling apart with each turn ...
Imogen blasts a Lightning Bolt right through it ... at 4TH LEVEL?!!! Wow ... 23 points of damage! Just send those dice to dice jail, Laura! She Quickens, then casts Shocking Grasp on it ... 21 more points! Yeah ...
CHetney RIPS HIS OWN EARS OFF to reveal flames as he casts Crimson Rite! Okay ... 26 points of damage, plus another 16 from the Rite ... HDYWTDT!!! Yes! He just tears the vidulch CLEAN OPEN and it just spills itself out all over him ... charming ... oh for the love of ... DON'T EAT THAT, Chet!
They break the vat open and release their intended rescuee ... yeah, get to healing, guys! So Evoroa is free, and awake, but definitely still HURT ...
Oh yeah, grab the Aeorian tech thingy, yeah ... into the Bag of Holding with it! And some fetus bottles for Laudna ... lovely ...
Oh wow ... so they just put the white hot masks DIRECTLY onto the Judicators' faces, huh? Charming ...
Checking in with the others ... back at the bomb site, then ...
Oh yeah, I would say that blast was a RESOUNDING success ... meanwhile Letters and Ashton are just DEAFENED right now ... great ... Fearn tries to getto them both now ...
Oh thank fuck they're back together again ...
Fuck ... the Red Glow? Not good ... and here comes the SCREAM!!! Fuck ... whatever that was it wasn't GOOD ...
Yeah, better beat a hasty retreat ...
Another explosion ... a PINK explosion? Great ... oh yeah, that was DEFINITELY LIliana ... and she's STILL ALIVE ...
Backtracking out through the builsing in a hurry ... thank fuck for Invisibility ... yeah, they BARELY make it out ...
Crap ... soldiers, just EVERYWHERE ... try another route, then ... yes, UP not down ... good thing for all the chaos, clearly ...
Boot the door! Yeah, here we go ... young half-elf? Hmmm ... just keep going! Yeah, balcony! Go! Oh ... well THAT'S a long way down ...
So apparently the scream was Liliana ... oof ...
DOWN!!! QUICK!!!
Phew ... they manage to make their escape into the city ...
Liliana (psychically): "Did she KNOW?!!!" Matt: "And THAT'S where we're gonna call it a night!" Cue CHAOS from the party ...
Fuck ... another exhausting session ...
