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.

Jester when she talks about the traveler totally gives me "my dad can beat up your dad" vibes and I love it

I don’t always personally. Sometimes it feels like she throws shade at the Wildemother and Cad for following her.

[@christofferhougaard]

@@Ravenishish Haha. Alright. Is the show worth watching though?

[@Ravenishish]

@@christofferhougaard t'was only in the comics if I recall and the answer is no. It was blatant pandering and there's a reason that the title of Batwoman and Batgirl went away for a while (albeit Batgirl came back after not too long)

Matt: ...despite how you looked down on him at the start. Marisha: I never said that. I did, though. I was crying at that

It's better because when she said she never said that, Matt went "I know." and then when she said she did though, Matt said "I know."

That cut from „you’re going to do so good!“ to „...you take 92 points of damage“ is the funniest stuff 😂😂😂 poor Fjord.

[@Phoen1xChan]

That fight Beou had took about 24 seconds btw. Imagine seeing all of that, in the span of 24 secs.

I love how Jester's not-so-covert attempts at flirtation set up the dice gods to chop down Fjord's already STELLAR self-esteem down a few more pegs. xD And then the arena happened.

[@ElricTheWhiteWolf]

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.

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.
