Fjord and Jester Workout | Beau Beats Up an Old Man | Critical Role C2E89 Highlight

[@monkeystar3652]

I love that anytime Fjord's pride is in question, Travis rolls a 1 😂

[@biobiobio7777]

Almost the polar opposite of when he played as Grog. Anytime he had to hurt/break something he would roll an unnecessary natural 20.

[@jonsimpson6240]

Or, you know, three natural ones in a row...

[@anxiety6312]

Poor Fjord even after being ReFjorged the natural ones still kick him in DA PRIDE!!! knew that those natural 20's will have a price in the future when he played Grog but DAMN!

[@abraxesprime7832]

The “I feel like my pride is hurt” was very sad

[@yoshiguy123]

@@biobiobio7777 I don't know how true that is. I just started c1 a bit ago. He lost that initial fight against that half-orc, he lost the arm wrestling contest with like 10 terrible roles in a row + help from everyone.

[@nondescriptindividual3793]

So Beau beats up an old man, Fjord gets his ass absolutely kicked, And Yasha nearly mentally breaks a woman even though she lost. What an episode.

[@dracowolf3212]

I feel so bad for Fjord. Mercer got the worst possible crit where the NPC could double smite

[@MegaJufy]

Travis has the best worst rolls this campaign. Three ones out of four rolls at the games early on, hernia during a light workout, and gets blasted into oblivion during a fight club. Fjord will be the character to accidentally kill himself soon.

[@VegetaLF7]

True. Though the true enemy of Vox Machina will forever be the dreaded door, just as for the Mighty Nein it is the nefarious chair. Campaign 3, whatever team comes next must deal with the unholy alliance of a door and chair working in conjunction. Also while beating old people senseless.

[@peter_parkour]
