Critical Role C2 e83 -Spoilers! -Always check for traps-

[@watsonholmes3903]

By the gods the way that Liam was mimicking holding Nott brought me flash backs of Scanlan and Vax. It just hurts my heart as I hear the echoes of the past, even if I know all ends well.

[@WexMajor82]

Not only he plays a rogue. He plays a rogue that can manipulate things at 30ft of distance. FFS

[@mindhackz]

He does these things on purpose. He intentionally ignored Liam’s warning because he didn’t think of it so he committed to it. He always is in “what would my character do” mode. It can be annoying

[@rizahawkeyepierce1380]

Man, watch Liam throughout the whole thing - he's such a good actor. I'd love to see him on stage. (Also, his Gaara makeup makes his expressions so much more intense.)

[@damian_bubble6287]

I had serious flashbacks at this scene. Man Sam why do you do this to us

[@bezretmet]

because nott is also a bit chaotic stupid.

[@TheDjMoo]

I remember watching this and as soon as Nott went in without checking for traps I guessed there was going to be an instant death trap. And then Matt's face confirmed it. One of the Ten Golden Rules of D&D - CHECK. FOR. TRAPS.

[@trndrd]

It's really annoying and slows the game to a crawl when every time the party enters a room they are checking for traps.

@@trndrd well shit like this could happen if they didn’t

[@trndrd]

@@shai8800 passive skills are there for a reason. You shouldn't be rolling perception, investigation or insight for every interaction.

[@shai8800]

@@trndrd it might be annoying for you but for them they obviously like to do it. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be doing it so often

[@trndrd]

@@shai8800 they do it from necessity.

Nott the Brave: amazing character, shitty, *shitty* Rogue.

[@Matisyahuwu]

Watching the campaign wrap up and that was the goal I think 😂

[@virginiamooney4105]

It's hilarious how Marisha called it right before it happened.

[@rcweasel4663]

I like coming back to this vid from time to time just to remember the deadly nature of A) not checking for traps and B) the strength of the spell Power Word Kill

[@roxelmillian7242]

Know whats wild..... That's the second time Sam's character has died in a necromancy place. (Scanlan- Death at Raishans necromancy section- campaign 1) And now Nott/ Veth in Hala's Necromancy chamber. How the circles have turned.

[@DaniGeez]

Another fun fact: Same episode number in C1

[@roxelmillian7242]

@@DaniGeez OMG. You're RIGHT holy crap!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@Kirboobles]

This is happening to our own rogue right now in our campaign, which resumes in roughly 2 hours. Wish our kobold friend luck :)

[@lfleming221]

Also, poor Caleb!!!

[@trndrd]

A Power Word Kill trap is the cheapest way to kill someone.

[@Linkolnverse]

What was the word that Nott heard? Is it part of the spell that went off? Is there some lore based explanation that we can figure out what happened exactly or which spell? Is it something we'll find out later and Nott is possessed slightly?

[@dalmascansunset974]

It's power word: kill. Under 100 hp, you're toast.

[@michaeletzkorn]

I think it was "check for traps"

[@OffbeatWorlds]

One thing I kind of miss from campaign one is the devastating emotions whenever a character died, because most of the time Pike wasn't with them and couldn't instantly heal whoever died. Now they have two clerics with them all the time and it's not nearly as big of a deal anymore. Death lost it's impact in this campaign. Also Matt isn't doing those dice challenges anymore, I really liked the added tension and drama of seeing if the spells would even work.

[@DaniGeez]

You're right about that. Angst and death scenes/resurrections is what fuels me and my jam. So 2 clerics means they're more prepared. I'm still waiting for that big death impact, but maybe the next one they wouldnt have diamonds ready or they could be seperated? We'll see what happens with the next death.

[@thefracturedbutwhole5475]

I think he doesn't do the dice challenges for revivify, I don't think he ever did them for revivify in campaign 1, but it was hardly ever cast (the only revivify I can remember from campaign 1 is the Keyleth - goldfish cliff dive death and there was no dice challenge it just worked) it was usually always raise dead or ressurection that had the dice challenges.

[@marcelofosco2193]

Yeah, i also think that death should have more of an impact, but man, if Nott perma died by a fcking Power Word kill trap it would have been preety anti-climactic

[@MillionBitGamer]

He did do his quick revival dice roll as Jester cast it. His big ritual typically only takes place for spells like Raise Dead, which has not been necessary yet for the MIX. Also two clerics to cast it doesn't mean the clerics will always have slots or have the diamonds. 10 days is a lot of leeway for them, yes, but death definitely still has its impact and is never guaranteed to work under Matt's rules. There's always a roll

[@Prismaticsanimationportfolio]

@@DaniGeez well I'm late but we ended getting twince with molly atlest both times make me ball

[@RoninXiC]

Just killed a player in my campagne with exactly this trap. WHY DO THEY NEVER CHECK FOR TRAPS!?!

Potential spoilers: No Sam Riegel character can survive episode 83, huh
