Critical Role Grog and Taryon Darrington goes Shopping

[@matthewbrown7431]

I love how quick Taryon was to go for the “everyone dies” plan

[@TheSaphireKatana]

I love liams reaction to how quickly Sam's approves of the plan as if he just saw a completely new side of Sam

[@dawidpotega882]

my favorite part is how Grog is trying to impress the new guy by knowing what to do at every moment of their trip to buy things from bargaining to dealing with the guard accident. "ok listen rookie now in the next 10 seconds everyone we see has to die" he says while panicking internally. And Tary being the actual rookie who looks up to each member of Vox Machina be like "ok i will listen to everything you say, partner" which i think this could have been explored more because no one really respected and looked up to Gror as much as young Taryon did

[@wjhd6823]

I feel like the incident with the guards is one of the few true windows into what their homebrew games were like before CR.

[@aurorasummer5233]

nah

[@bigdrew565]

​@Aurora Summer I'd imagine they were more batshit insane.

[@IrisCorven]

Holy shit, I will never get over how quickly this escalates. "PUKE ON THOSE F*CKING GUARDS."

Taryon is literally just a bigger Scanlan without music.

"That is a man." Players spend a moment of silence before realizing that's all. XF

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

I love how every time they try to make a deception chat with leprosy it goes horribly wrong and they keep doing it

[@Xackadee]

Those few seconds where Taryon just rolls with it and goes "We're partners, right?" - fully committed to killing everyone with Grog until they realise that the shopkeeper hasn't seen this happen yet - are my favourite. Liam's reaction to that especially where he's clearly so shocked and freaked out but also so incredibly entertained that Sam's going in that direction.

[@MrSovietunion78]

6:12 Sam's face is perfect for a Mercer T-Shirt.

[@lauravturner]

So... We learned one thing from this experience... Taryon has no gag reflex...

[@arielbarrios3843]

It cost you nothing to say that. You're right tho

[@thegamingknight2096]

Tary is a sub

[@namejeppe7]

Some day he's gonna make his husband really happy

[@David-yd7cj]

F in chat for the best bit that the clip ends just before, where Taryon immediately outside throws up in panic and terror

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

I _lost_ it when Sam rolled a Nat 20 on that constitution throw. No vomiting happening today!

[@greedavaricious7760]

7:57 Talesian’s face was god damn gold

[@Javid_74]

Gosh when grog says "what's wrong with that?" about Doty being mute. Any quirks with anyone are simply different people to him. I wish we all had friends like Travis.

[@weebjeez]

On one hand, I get you. On the other, I feel like that was Travis saying "So what if he's mute? We don't want him answering questions, anyways! What's wrong with that?"

[@jman8725]

Plus with grogs minus 2 intellect he probably doesn't even know what being a mute is

[@thomashorwath7148]

I feel like many D&D players, were they in Sam's and Travis's shoes, would get mad at the DM around 7:58. "We left instructions with Doty to make a sound if the guards approach, and for some reason he attacks them? We did everything right, Matt! Wah wah you're a crap DM." Part of what makes CR so great is that the players simply put their trust in Matt and react to what Matt says, rather than griping over what should and should not have happened. (Of course, it helps that Matt is quite good at picking realistic outcomes for player actions.) I hope to be the kind of player mature enough to react the way these Sam and Travis do when things don't go according to my plans...

[@DetectiveLance]

I mean, technically, Doty DID make a sound....

[@TheSaphireKatana]

Your dnd experience with players appears to be very different to what I've been through

[@kittenkat2301]

@@TheSaphireKatana sadly my experience is also what OP describes. Very few players know "yes and". Instead it ends up being a fight as to why something should/ shouldn't be happening or players saying "i don't know that but my character would" back talk.

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

@@kittenkat2301 I definitely used to have this problem. Getting too far into the winning and not enough into the playing. It can take a real mindset adjustment but it's worth encouraging it if you still play

[@kaerouse48]

If this isn't in Season 2 of "Legends of Vox Machina" then a 3rd Season must be made just for this scene alone.

[@Jerry_the_Head]

The first clip that got me into critical role

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

I love a great "JUST BE COOL! JUST BE COOL!" scene.

[@BlueflameKing1]

All of sam's characters have amazing moments with the barbarian characters. First scanlan and grog, then taryon and grog with this glorious disaster, nott and yasha with the conversation near the bridge, and just fcg and ashton in general.

[@MrSovietunion78]

And Liam's laugh sounds like a dolphin.

[@tarjah8030]

Aww! It was cut off too soon--- right before Tary throws up in the street, finally! haha

[@parkersummerlin865]

The one dislike is the shopowner.

[@ClokworkGremlin]

Wait, but the shopowner is Matt.

[@lary6420]

One of the funniest series of events in that campaign. Matt is trying so hard not to burst out laughing while everyone else is going full on lmao mode from this.

[@murlend8455]

Still my favorite part of this situation is that both Tary and Grog have bags of holding and Grog has definitely put corpses in there. I just love that the panic swept through them all so much, golden moment.

[@alisonlazarus4625]

Look. We've all had moments in D&D where we've had to hide a corpse, and we've all made bad choices in those moments. Don't judge. It could happen to anyone.

[@TXCryptic]

“And what ever the fuck dodie is.” GREAT LINE

[@mishiara5499]

I cannot wait to see this on legend of vox machina

[@carlosangel9404]

This turned into a Stewie and Brian Family Guy episode very quickly.

[@RedHood5229]

when i first watched this, i was literally on the floor dying of laughter. lmao

[@nickllama5296]

The roleplaying was just fantastic. "On a scale of 1 to 2, how do you think it went?" "2 is the higher of the two, right?" *blank stare* 🤣🤣

I think the Bad Luck Bandits from Campaign 2 fit that role even more

[@Thunderboom5]

I hope they adapt this scene in the animated series.

[@Comicsluvr]

The end bit with the guards was EPIC!

[@breadtoast1036]

wow a mere 0.5 secs away from travis saying he was gonna swing his axe down on the guard

[@NaivokWolves]

2 of the best nat 20s rolled in the whole series right here, lol.

This is such a goated critical role moment good lord

2 nat 20s that led to a terrible outcome....

this is definitely the funniest moment in CRC1

[@jakisz]

Please, please, in the love of all that is good, let this be on the animated show.

[@tobiaskissel6303]

I wish they thought about the bag of holding. Grog carries it after all. He always wanted to put someone in there and see if they survive. (which they wouldnt)

They had learned from a goat in the home game that the bag of holding has an air limit lol

Thank you so much for that laugh where I am crying. That gets funnier every time I see it. I even looked up animations of it.

[@patriciolozano3726]

I think this is probably my favorite scene (regarding comedy) out of all of the Vox Machina Campaing because it is so chaotic, everyone is laughing and its just a shitshow all around. If anyone has anything funnier from C1 I would love to see you try to top this

Why do they never seem to want to admit to being adventurers in these situations? It's like the border crossing in campaign 2, with the magic cart. We are but simple merchants You don't have any merchandise Yes, we are going to get some It's more suspicious to claim to be merchants.
