[@kmacgregor6361]

Well, based on what they know at this point it's most likely just an adult dragon. 250 yearsish. Ancient at 800. It should be roughly the same CR as the remorhaz encounter.

[@rassyu2]

Remoraz's are more deadly than a same cr dragon. 5e dragons are meh overall and boring.

[@TsarofScars]

@@Ascaron1337 A CR 11 Remorhaz is more dangerous than most adult dragons. Heated Body is an absolutely brutal feature, as well as the ability to burrow and travel completely unseen, allowing them to make attacks without being spotted and therefore avoid reaction effects like Cutting Words or Sentinel at Death’s Door that require previous sight of the attacking creature. They're fucking deadly, mate. Not to mention immunity to fire and cold damage is far more than a dragon's immunity to a single damage type. A remorhaz is immune to everything a white dragon is, as well as immune to fire damage, and deals damage every time you hit it. Also, auto-restraining on a hit (which is a +11 and rather high for its CR) is fucking brutal because the grappled creature can't move, has disadvantage on attack rolls, and the remorhaz has advantage to swallow the creature with its next turn. TL;DR - it's considerably easier to TPK a level 9 party with a remorhaz than a dragon. CR don't mean shit.

Liam’s really good at Caleb’s little fidgets. I choose to believe that Caleb didn’t consciously notice that he was doing that, like when your hands go on autopilot when doing a mundane task. It was a sort of...”phantom pain” response, if that makes sense and I looooove it. And as someone above me said, Tal does this too.

Ever since Mollymauk and the Iron Shepards, Mercer really forgoes the whole subtle hints of “don’t fight it” and just outright hammers it into their heads.

[@spedwyrm7427]

Since all of Mercer's encounters, regardless of creature makeup generally devolve into slogfest combat unless they've been a previously established creature in the other campaign they also soak up anywhere from 50 to 500 hit points worth of damage before they fall over and die gets a bit monotonous as well as predictable. If the players can't pick up on that by this point, then that's their problem not ours. I just sit back and watch the Carnage unfold. I'm still waiting for the establishment of the Goldfish School of either druidcraft or monk tradition...just saying

[@thedarkness125]

@@spedwyrm7427 this is actually untrue. I would argue he does a fairly decent job of balancing encounters vs the action economy of 7-8 player characters. Most of the time the group will have a single combat encounter in weeks of ingame time and it will typically be a hard or very difficult one, bigger boys will be deadly even for 8 PCs and in the sections they enounter multiple times or a large number of foes many will be fairly squishy with a couple probably tanky boys for a medium difficulty enountr mostly meant to waste resources and spread them thin. The overwhelming majority of encounters in crit role are social or puzzling. Sure some thing are easy yo look at and go "okay matt that seems a bit much" but for tge sake of making it interesting for his players most of the time it makes sense. At levels over 10 it becomes especially difficult for this number of players to be challenged even by higher CR crratures in groups. In game almost all combat incounters are over in under a minute.

But I give you that: The M9 are not particularly smart / good players. Their decision are often pretty bonkers. Remember the blue dragon in the golden thingy? They could have easily killed it, yet they panicked and used their actions to run around and finally even ran away entirely, nearly losing Jester and the Gnome + missing out on all the loot of the dragon and the lair. Same with Yasha's "betrayel". Although I don't know if that was semiscripted. I don't think so, tho. It was very, very close in there and Matt had to be very careful not to wipe them.

Right?! And how he again pulled seven random books out of the ether.. 😳

[@chrisb4726]

Right? Everyone was transfixed.

[@Winter_RainDT]

Right? That's top tier improv. My eyes have never been opened wider - and I'm Asian.

Delta Cruz what I assumed happened is he had at least a bit of the information on hand in case they went to the Archive, so he was able to improvise the details. At least that’s what I would do, Matt’s way better at this than I am for sure.

[@captainkiwi77]

Rob Paul well he’s said he often keeps lists ready for creating npcs and books on the fly

I can imagine this little gnome going to Whitestone and inquiring about their beliefs in a cheese moon and Percy just being like "wtf? Who told you that??"

[@jamiel6005]

lmaooo

[@gebdemedici]

I'm pretty sure Percy has died of old age by this point since he's just a regular human. Vex'halia might still be alive given she's a half elf tho.

[@thenevermer]

@@gebdemedici they're still alive canonically

[@gebdemedici]

@@thenevermer Damn. How? I thought this adventure took place like 80 or 100 years after Vox Machina ended.

[@thenevermer]

@@gebdemedici Mighty Nein is around 20+ years after Vox Machina. Campaign 3 Bells Hells is around 8 years after Mighty Nein.

So I've noticed something about the character's gods. The Traveler is like an older brother who is very protective and quite smart but still likes to pull pranks with their siblings. The Wild Mother is, well, mom. Good talks, better hugs, always there when you need her. Uko'toa... Uko'toa is an abusive dad who thinks you owe him everything just because he created you

Pinky: Gee, Caleb, whatcha wanna do tonight? Brain: Same thing we do every night Caduceus, try not to destroy the world! *music starts*

[@diablopro3438]

[@bombomos]

This is too perfect

[@critter8132]

This is Caleb's constant inner monologues head cannon

[@CoachEd]

Matt: How do you wanna do this? Travis: I. CLAP. ABOVE. IT.

Reani about Nobles stealing : "So they're evil?" *squinting* Ava : "They are immoral, unscrupulous." Reani : *Squinting intensifies*

2:03:47 Liam immediately stops laughing as soon as Caleb and Nott get "banished from the steeple". That was a little too real xD
