In Beau’s defense, Cad cast three different spells on her all at the same time. That would fuck anyone up.

[@procrastinator99]

@@taylamuller1811 And I like to imagine (even though it was never stated at all) that the effects interact with each other strangely, either weirding or adding extra (more subtle) effects. Just because I think it's hilarious.

[@grimlock1471]

Don't care. This is awesome.

[@jamesross6219]

Comedy gold. Proof positive that improv runs deep with the group. Taliesin suggesting a scene, Sam giving it fuel, Marisha running with it, Travis becoming her “yes and” man, and timely “audience ideas” by Matt & Liam. 15mins of solid entertainment.

[@kaeleastlord]

Matt has said that Travis throws him off more than anyone, including Laura. He's so "in the moment" and willing to do something stupid, like touch a ruby that he has no idea what it's going to do, that Matt is literally scared when Travis does something.

[@SPACEHARICE]

@@kaeleastlord hes the parties instigator always has been Wheres sam pushes others into the pit

[@some_other_guy]

I love how it's not just comedy gold but roleplay gold as well. Marisha didn't have to play it off like someone tripping balls but she played it so well. Matt feeding her some visions and stuff to play off as well, just such an impressive cast.

I could understand fjord maybe, but beau the parent of the group? she acts like an angsty horny teenaher, if anybody is the parent its Cad, excluding this singular drug dealing eque moment

[@cryofpaine]

@@MisfitSass Cad is the grandparent. Super chill, lets the kids get away with pretty much anything while the parents are trying to rein them in. And Beau tends to take a bit of a motherly role, but a young mom who is trying to still be cool. Someone kind of thrust into a leadership role by default, rather than growing into it.

[@SPACEHARICE]

It's strange because orginally it was fjord and molly.

[@noodle13_91]

AHarice aw Molly I’m gonna fuckin cry

[@chillycharizard5985]

I love friendships where both are smart and capable people on their own but when you put them together they are the equivalent of "My last two braincells" Fjord and Beau are those friends.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

I think that’s Beau’s daddy issues combined with Fjord’s insecurities. They are following each other in a bumbling circle, and it’s glorious to watch XD

[@Asmodeus696]

I think Marisha probably would have been happy to be a super-spy with a slightly crazed look on her face, but then the rest of the party focused on Essek. That was clearly where the metaphorical main course of the plot stuff was, which meant she and Travis were suddenly the B-Plot, so she seamlessly pivoted into being the comic relief for the rest of the scene, and it was glorious!

Kristopher Chavez Jester is like 20 though

[@FoxHound-ut1hu]

@Kristopher Chavez I would say Fjord would be one of the older kids in this analogy since he humors the rest by going along with there shenanigans but tends to be the adult in the room with Cad and Caleb when shit is serious. Though Caleb also has a very childish black and white mentality to a lot of things especially earlier in the campaign.

[@FoxHound-ut1hu]

@Kristopher Chavez ya he has a laugh with them but for beau anyway he is her rock, teaching her how to people and not be as much of an asshole, building her confidence by making her first mate and most of all laying down the law when she is being stupid and short sighted.

[@FoxHound-ut1hu]

[@TheOnlyRealIRONicMAN]

In this moment, he and everyone present, both on the table and in the audience as well as most people watching the stream, expercienced quite a hilarious and joyful moment. However, Marisha said on Talks that Talisien was kinda unhappy how the usually very inquisitive Beauregard "utilized" those two buff spells, True Seeing in particular, being a 6th level Spell.

[@HenriqueErzinger]

@@TheOnlyRealIRONicMAN I don't think so. Two of the parts that were cut from this were: 1. In the middle him saying "this is all I ever wanted" 2. At the end of everything he says "best level 6 spell I ever burnt" Not even counting how much he breaks laughing the whole time

Joseph Yayen I see your weasel and raise you 12:09.

[@mrcv9576]

It just hit me that had Beau not told Caleb to send Frumpkin to go into the Cerberus Assembly’s boat and spy on Essek, they would’ve found out about Essek at the party after Caduceus cast True Seeing on Beau. And I’m so curious as to what that situation would’ve been like.

[@DaniGeez]

Mrc V it would probably be the same. They would still plan during the party a way to kidnap him and question him. Beau would probably yell first and freak out even more and then try to be subtle while telling the others. I hope

This is a masterclass in improv and the "Yes, And" technique, but what just puts it over the top for me is Travis' expressions. The dude has some of the best facial and body comedy of the cast, and it's on perfect display with this scene. I don't even know how many times I've watched it.
