Critical Role Animatic : Nott is an Alcoholic

[@giraffedragon6110]

I like to imagine Nott was like “my flask is gone?.... I’m about to scream..... *inhale* WHHHHYYYY!?”

[@themightytrainthurnax6613]

I have a question... For god... WHY?!?!

[@slogyourgrogyouoldseadog]

Wwwwwwrrrrrrryyyyyyyy?!

[@UncleFester84]

40 minutes later: Nott: So for what part of the ritual did you need the vulture? Caleb: None, i just wanted to keep you from doing something stupid

[@enderbrightrubysheen]

Wasn't Frumpkin a vulture at the time and the ritual was find familiar? To turn Frumpkin back into a cat-cat?

Ugh, lost my flask... Killed my whole family.

Underrated comment 😂

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Just dont throw me under a bridge.

[@littleblueclovers]

“Don’t hold it in your lap because I don’t want you to fuse with him.” “... WHAT?” Inspired me to create a wizard that just lies about magic rules to mess with those around him.

[@SPACEHARICE]

I made a bard Sorcerer who was just decked out in illusion and deception and would cast "fireball" doing no damage at all all but looking really cool I got the DM in on it so hed pretend to get me to roll damage but really everything I did did nothing. one time I convinced a dragon I was Muhammad

[@SPACEHARICE]

to them I was a elf male whos old but really I was a small Nome who was in her 20s everyone found out when I got her killed dropping the illusion.

[@buterassassin1952]

AHarice their responses?

[@SPACEHARICE]

@@buterassassin1952 Well they thought i was turned into a different creature but the dm explained to the group you find a book labled tricks and illusions by Azrèal they found out the my entire character was a lie and that they dont know how far this went. i told everyone what me and the DM did was a good day because my new character was a rouge warlock who hit sky high levels of damage

[@Steelrat1994]

@@SPACEHARICE Illusions are just the best. I use mask of many faces all the time as a warlock to infiltrate, escape, fish for information, frame people, etc. I once used a major illusion to frame the head of a noble family: I've been starting riots on a harvest festival and once the mob was at the boiling point I made an illusion of her teleport to the stage and blast the crowd with shatter(in reality I blasted the crowd) and then call them all a bunch of ungrateful pigs and so on to really piss them off. I also whispered all that to my DM and my party really thought it was all real and only figured it out a few sessions later. I am still sooo proud.

[@drakevegas7073]

2:26 I love how that's just Sam's actual reaction to what Liam was saying. He totally broke character because of how weird that was.

[@Scrubwick]

Sam/Nott: I will pass the time sipping on my flask. Matt: You go to reach for your flask and its not there. Sam/Nott: I freak the fuck out. Well that's certainly accurate to the character.

[@deathbykonami5487]

The slow build when Nott said "I freak the fuck out" was primo.

[@ericthered2963]

Nott: "I hate this town!" Caleb: "Hold my vulture." Nott: "What do you mean? Normally it's hold my beer?" Caleb: "No. Literally hold my vulture." Nott: "=_="

[@thatguy763]

Vulture: “Hold my beer.”

[@laffinggas8068]

There is no beer to hold that's like the whole problem

[@christopherbacon1077]

I like how Nott keeps referring to other party members as "shifty" when she's the least trustworthy of the lot

[@medramonmasquedecendres2966]

First Scanlan and his Drugs and now that. Make you wonder what Sam have been through to want to express this kind of thing in his characters

[@weebjeez]

@Natasel alternatively, it's just that he was always strait-laced, and this concept is more of a "being someone else" aspect of the character. Like how I play Barb when I've been described by multiple people as being "teddy bear-like"

[@MrGoodroe12]

None of you people have considered this possibility: Sam Riegel us just what he appears to be. I mean do you remember THE ENTRANCE that one time...

[@Starhartdeer]

I love when Caleb calmly bullshits people :) Also love when Nott freaks the fuck out XD

[@oakenshadow6763]

The best part is, Sam knew! He knew, but Nott didn't. He's that dedicated. "Hold still for 40 minutes." Just said so straight. 2:36

[@RockLegend2A]

"He's that dedicated." Keeping track of what you know vs. what your characters knows is how you're supposed to play D&D.

[@Taneth]

I'm pretty sure Sam knew who had it the whole time, and he's just that committed to the bit.

[@ladylightning1741]

Nott: CALEB HAVE YOU SEEN MY FLASK?! Caleb: Mom, I'm trying to do some transmorgification here.

[@jennycomelately]

I love how she gets on all fours and starts sniffing around.

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

Twist: Nott ate the Flask after getting drunk.

[@shaderax_storm6165]

Would the alcohol still be endless in her stomach? I mean magic objects can survive lava and stuff, so in the tummy of a goblin mummy should be yummy! If the lid was off... She could open it with mage hand, jobs done

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

@@shaderax_storm6165 hope all that alcohol doesn't get mixed with her stomach acid.

Dude, your rendition of Matt is spot on! Great job!

[@AegisAuras]

“You were chugging in it.” “That seems likely.”

[@gingergrant1057]

Dude, you encapsulated her character perfectly. How do you do this?!? (At least before Veth became a character.)

[@Random_Kelsey]

Another job well done! I instantly clicked as soon as I saw it uploaded :) There's so many small moments full of greatness one tends to forget, so thanks for helping to keep them in memory!

[@apollomars1678]

i loved the face of Yasha, while she suspected EVERYONE about the flask, she stole, while Sam KNEW this.

[@Yaboyazrael]

Would you say she’s nott sober?

[@Dakuu75]

Dude, poor Nott. She traumatized by something, is that why she's an alcoholic. Fucking-hell, I know how hard fighting the DTs can be, sheesh.

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Not going to lie, in some of your earlier animatics your expressions were a bit flat. They conveyed the situation well enough, but often it felt like there wasn't a lot of diversity to their facial expressions. However in this regard it is clear that you have put in effort to expand your repertoire and frankly it shows. THESE expressions really make the characters come alive in this situation and makes them feel a lot more animated. Well done!

[@SirenChats]

100th comment :) Also yes she's a alcoholic that's a given by the intro

[@revolutionarylizard4439]

She is nott an alcoholic

[@pumpkinlife103]

I guess I'm the only one attracted to nott, was always hot.

[@KumaoftheForest]

Does she ever get her magic flask back?

[@newsance2u]

Yes but then Nott gives it Yasha to help her stop drinking and in episode 109 when they were going over loot they stole back from a monster that took stuff from them Nott said she didn't need it anymore and gave it to Buea since she's the only other person in the party to care about alcohol. She did say she may take it back if they can ever change the enchantment to be something less strong

[@Sirius10117]

@@newsance2u Close, but we are only on Episode 107. What you said happened in 106.

[@MetalFire1998]

It's also important to mention that nott drank because of backstory stuff (heavy spoilers) halflings have advantage on saving throws against fear effects. Wich kinda symbolises their innate bravery. When Nott was polymorphed into a goblin she lost that. But alcohol does the same thing: it gives you advantage on saving throws against fear effects. I honestly think that is one of the best roleplay decisions i have seen a player ever make. It's simply incredibly well thought out.

[@harryguidotti3815]

Did they ever get the flask back?

What episode was this from?

[@kennymonty8206]

Didn't they get kinda pissy when Nott was fiddling with Fjords personal belongings? But, I guess it's fine to take her stuff. Haha.

[@EmilM-pb2hn]

.. well maybe 100 episodes and a few hundred hours later will do that. The difference was just, the party knowing each other versus the party not knowing each other well at all.
