Critical Role Animatic - Rumblecusp Walk

[@aurawry]

“Help, it’s again” is such an iconic line

[@AnimeWolf5193]

Right up there with "We're running; it's bad!"

[@buttoningrex850]

It's one of the best lines from caduceus

[@bellringer53]

It's now one of my most used gifs!

[@BryonYoungblood]

Taliesin's delivery was just perfect and it fit how chill Caduceus is too.

[@sarahmaydwell1422]

I have a caduceus themed tattoo sketched out to get professionally drawn that has "Help, It's again" in the steam coming off a tea cup

[@wxisssxhnee7431]

Lol😂

[@BryonYoungblood]

Right along with "Help, it's again!".

[@IncorporationXII]

Honestly this animation just solidifies for me that the rumblecusp arc could also be referred to as, “caduceus and the no good horrible very bad week”

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

The universe had to balance out his Good Boi-ness somehow.

[@kyle21843]

yeah he was having a rough time there. my favorite is when he was being magically drawn to vokodo and beau catches up to him and the dialogue went Beau: CADUCEUS! Caduceus: Hey! :D Beau: *WHACK* Caduceus: Oh! D:

Great issue to have :)

[@ToaLewa6]

I think Jester poking fun at Caduceus makes him feel that Cain instinct he got to re awaken when they met his family and I love it

[@scolkereybel]

Honestly, at this point in the campaign, I think there only three people Cad knows aren't murderers, two being Veth's husband and son, and Kiri. So to reiterate, the only people Cad knows aren't murderers are either a former political prisoner of war, or children. When this adventure finally blows over, Cad deserves a long, no-murder detox Edit: Cad never even met Kiri, so really the only non-murderers he knows are a former prisoner of war, and a child that shot a crossbow bolt at a fire elemental. He needs to meet new people.

[@dantevitale5714]

wrong, He only knows two, he's never met Kiri lol.

[@TheLegoLord100]

You'd hope at least some of cad's family would fall into the categories, but some of them have definitely killed before, others can't be called reasonable

[@nephilima3956]

Years after this, people will still tell the tales of a rogue Firbolg who singlehandedly butchered half of Wildmount and nobody will know why.

[@aromaladyellie]

I love how not only was the "help, it's again" so calm, but his *original pleas for help* were said in a barely more panicked tone of voice as Cad already speaks in xD

[@BryonYoungblood]

It just fits Caduceus because of how chill he is, even if he has some moments where he really lays the heat even if he doesn't raise octaves too much.

[@TheRuneTail]

Caduceus: “I know plenty of reasonable people who’ve never killed anybody.” Fjord: “Name one” Everyone: Kiri, Veth’s family, etc

[@GeassEnabler]

Luc has already killed several monsters dressed as Yeza

[@adaauvel1389]

I can't remember if Cadeucus ever actually met Kiri, it's been too long. But she has 100% stabbed SOMEONE with that dagger by now.

[@onesaltydoge3105]

Some of Cads family might fit, though I'm not sure Cad would think they are reasonable lol

[@GeassEnabler]

@@onesaltydoge3105 they might very well have killed people

[@TheOuchee]

Taliesin has given us so many great lines such as "life needs things to live", "help its again" and many more. Truly he is the dungeons and dragons of all time.

[@zenebean]

Jester teasing Cad is so good, I just love that he was already so done with the island

[@jevanking4768]

Cad- help it’s again Me when there’s a new video- yay it’s again

[@saphriaofhogwarts]

1:45 Caduceus looks into the camera like the cast of The Office. Angry Caduceus is amazing!

[@jevanking4768]

1:41 especially with the colour and expression I have to imagine this is what sprinkle would constantly look like if he were turned into a human

[@PattPlays]

big sprinkle energy literally

[@jodah_eternal]

@@PattPlays soooooo about sprinkle....

[@silvercandra4275]

I just want to remind everyone that after he kept stepping into the mud and getting stuck in there a few times, someone (can't remember who, might have been Keyleth's mom) picked him up in bird form and started carrying him, but did it in a way that caused his hair to flop in his face. Cad did not have a good time on that damn island and I both love it and feel terrible for loving it, because poor Caddy doesn't deserve anything but good.

[@adamhertlein9661]

[@TheFansOfFiction]

0:08 this implies that every member of his family is either unreasonable, or has killed somebody. At least one of his siblings (Colton?) definitely seemed reasonable to me.

Caduceus’ Not So Good Very Bad Day

[@Blobby90]

I know this is a Cad video but Laura Fucking Bailey really created a gem of a character. One who can surprise you with her heart and capacity for caring whilst being the buff blue chaos gremlin of the group rivaled only by Nott/Veth. I also love how normal her life was prior to the campaign save for Arty. An adorable but mischievous little girl who was a little lonely and sort of became a cleric by accident because this Fey loved her penchant for playful chaos

[@Blobby90]

💖 back at you

[@Angelic_Anon]

i LOVE how Caduceus was throughout all of this, poor guy had so much going in in rumblecusp dshgoidshg

[@hystericalcrafts8603]

[@tmcandy2760]

Awe this is so good!!!! A part of me was hoping you'd capture Taliesin's energy on the last scene cuz apparently Cad was GENUINELY confused why he kept getting stuck. But honestly him just being all disappointed and disheartened was JUST AS GOOD!!! 🤣🤣🤣
