Vox Machina struggles to survive after their battle with the Duergar King and Queen, our heroes broken and battered. Tiberius and Lady Kima turned to stone, and Vax’ildan and Scanlon badly wounded, the party flees the Duergar keep, not knowing where the Sorceress Queen Ulara has stolen off to with their Goliath companion. Realizing how far they’ve pushed themselves, they seek respite in the shadows and thankfully cure their stony friends with the blessings of the goddess, Sarenrae (tenuous though they may be). Relying on Vex’ahlia’s knowledge of the underdark and her knack for tracking her prey, the weary travelers press on into the deep. They come across yet another abomination in the dark, and battle the queer creature in a sea of bone and glass, Percy felling it with a thunderous crash from Bad News. Finally leaving the wretch behind them, they spy a fire twinkling in the distance...

It's hilarious how Laura goes from aggressively caring for her fictional pet bear to constantly forgetting about her fictional pet traumatized weasel
-
Trinket falls... Vex:I would like to rage.
-
Classic D&D campaign. A holy warrior of good who you were sent to rescue: "I don't like her." A tentacled abomination of the underdark that you found in a cave: "WOOHOO! Yeah! Go Clarota!
-
Ah yes, back when the game was still casual enough that Travis could blow off a game to see the Avengers movie.
-
Matt's obvious pleasure in Vex figuring out she still has hunter's mark and can track the queen is the best thing ever
-
I like how you can just tell what NPC Matt is acting as before he says anything with the ways he contorts his face and body language. Truly a glorious actor and DM.
-
"Disadvantage because you're wearing heavy armor" will be carved on Pikes tombstone.
-
Matt Mercer: Gives an epic 5 minute long speech telling a tale of might, magic, woe, and justice as he expands on what is clearly an incredibly deep character steeped in lore. Matt Mercer 30 seconds later: *goofy bear noises*
-
I like to imagine that Clarence dies a little bit inside every time they make a bad pun
-
Pike is like, the ultimate soccer mom. "You can do it, honey! There's always next time! hugs"
-
Commoners: have 4 HP Matt: "Kittens have 5 HP" Therefore, most commoners would lose a fight with a kitten
-
“I CAN USE MY HUNTERS MARK” Matt: about friggen time
-
Here's a little story for you. After watching Critical Role a few times I picked up the 5e phb, my first rpg in around 30 years, and dm'd a homebrew adventure for my 4 kids and wife, using Mercer's style. We only stopped after 5 hours. 5 hours of quality family time, during which I took them all from a shipwreck equipped only with rags to the brink of death multiple times in intense encounters. My 6 yr old paladin eventually found his courage, wearing ringmail and armed with a javelin, leaping forward at a direwolf to protect his family. My 12 yr old wizard found a spellbook covered in fur suspiciously like our pet dog, that clung to his head with 10 tiny pink arm/legs. A giant eagle almost killed the entire party using hit and fly tactics before they had found missile weapons, but my 8 yr old cast entangle to hold it down. My wife couldn't believe how amazing it was. Thank you Critical Role!

I'm so sad that no one laughed at Scanlan's "This is a Grizzly situation" joke, it was a goddamn masterpiece.
-
I can just imagine Travis walking in and being like “what’s going on? What are we doing?” And everyone kinda being like “Well... we kinda lost you”
-
The look of disappointment on Matt’s face when they made the joke about Kima and Clarota was friggin priceless
-
DM: It's scared of her. Pike, in a cute voice: Yeah! That's right!
-
I love the reaction whenever Matt says "how do you wanna do this?" It's like some kind of Pavlovian Conditioning.
-
The best thing about becoming a Critter this late is that I have immunity to week-long suspense checks
-
Keyleth: Murders dwarves, children, etc Also Keyleth: How dare you congratulate us for killing the evil king!
