Inktober Day 21 – Bad Dog 🐶 My guess is that Nugget got into Yeza's lab and is being given a stern scolding about not going in there because it's dangerous?

matt: i'm forgiving to a certain extent with forgetting about pets, because it's not fun to get caught up in a story and then punished because your cool thing killed your pet

sam: i disagree. i just disagree Fundamentally.

sam: if laura bailey can't take care of her imaginary dog with her imagination, she should not be able to have that dog

matt: ok cool! then kill it!

sam: awww...i can't do that to laura OR the dog......

matt: AND YOU THINK WHY I CAN'T DO IT?????!!!!

"You Pooping?"

Yes, I am back at it again with the critical role art! I am going to be drawing everyone in the main cast, eventually. I will also redraw those I have drawn to match this style!

Now with:

Preliminary Polls 55

[whirlingbadger]

[acesandwords]

Cast: in this episode, they meet an animal seller and they buy 3 new pets!

animators: please no. do they have to?

cast: Yes, that weasel is plot critical

[mightypieworkshop]

For today’s Shadowbeantober prompt, you all are welcome to conjecture as to how Smol Essek found himself in the position of walking a blink dog…(I suspect Jester had some major part in it!)

[somewhatsentientspellbook]

damn parents and/or governments and/or gods

[flurry-of-beaus-pop-pop]

Me, watching Campaign 2, with Jester getting Nugget, realizing that we never found out what happened to Nugget after they had to flee (unless I missed it)

[mercy-misrule]

I loved all the thoughts about Luc's future class as influenced by the actions in c2

Obvs rogue like Veth, but then there could be wizard or specifically rogue as arcane trickster, as educated by Caleb

But then folks were like, what if being rezzed by the wildmother could influence him to cleric or paladin of melora

and some people suggested Ranger, with the bow and Nugget as a companion beast

And other people had a thought, which I really liked, what if he became a sorcerer, changed by dying and being brought back in the fire plane

It also made me laugh, like what if this kid did the worst multiclass of all time, just one level of everything.

"i play back the footage."

"wait, it rolled even when you weren't cranking it?"

"you wind it up and then it goes for a little bit."
