Matt chooses VIOLENCE | Critical Role - Bells Hells ep 97

[@Lucajuca012]

YES, I was missing the marisharaygun highlight videos because i loved those. Now i have a good replacement!

[@markr8259]

What happened? Did they just quit or did someone force the channel to stop?

[@riv7509]

@@markr8259 something happened technically and they couldn’t edit for a couple weeks. They made a community post saying how once they miss a week (most coming out Friday or Saturday) there’s no time to catch up before the vod comes out Monday. They mentioned how it was most likely going to be their last time because they didn’t have time to catch up

[@ultrabigfella]

​@@riv7509however, there's the happier theory that they were hired by Beacon to work on the recaps made for CR.

[@Xaychedelic]

Just wanted to say I appreciate the service you're doing for the critters now that marisharaygun had to step down from making highlights. Thank you for all the hard work!

[@iitstre_4550]

What actually happened? Do you know? I’m very behind on the campaign, so I’ve been focused on catching up, not much time for highlights right now. But I did notice that MRG wasn’t around

[@crowflight719]

Robbie on dual lightning: "What do you get when you mix purple and yellow?" You get a shade of brown depending on the shades of purple and yellow. Be cool to see. Thanks.

[@aaronbourque5494]

Ah, but why mix them when they can just swirl around each other, always chasing, never catching.

[@choco1101]

I totally thought we are going to the "what happens when I toad gets hit by lightning..." quote

[@kaniamia]

@@choco1101”You know what happens when you mix purple with yellow? The same thing that happens to every other colour when you mix it with its colour wheel opposite.”

[@reneehoenicke4765]

Say what you will about Avalir, but they didn't strap a GRAND DEMON to their engine and let it feed on people 😂 Aeor is NUTS bro. It also definitely makes me miss FCG more because if they had come with we probably would have FINALLY started getting some answers

[@joemcgurk7226]

What I love to think about is the fact that Aeor survived a *century* into the Calamity before it fell. When you look at it from the perspective of "Well, Avalir was pretty tame compared to this", you then gotta think just how much absolute horror Aeorians must've went through in those hundred years after Avalir fell, and the depths of morality they stooped to because it was probably what they thought was their best chance at fighting or even just surviving what they were up against.

[@hadesblackplays]

i insist, the dorian/imogen lightning bolt was pretty great, orym doing slashes and killing the abomination always cool af, but the real mvp of the episode was travis choosing to get chetney into the room.

[@bookmarkyourthoughtsblog]

I'm just loving all the extra Caleb X Essek lore drops. I miss those two beautiful wizards!!

[@DovahkiinMaster172]

I’ll be honest, the Ruidus stuff hasn’t really been gripping me too much lately, but this Dominox stuff in Aeor is so fucking cool. Matt remains a genius of storytelling.

[@chrislunsford8316]

Who else was watching Liam the whole time they were being all giddy about all that lightning damage?

[@Miv51miv51]

I love the way Ashleys brain works.

[@iitstre_4550]

Sometimes I take psychic damage from Ashley, but once I recover; I can’t help but be totally in awe of how she gets from point A to point B

[@WhereismyCoffee]

You doin gods work, my dude. Thanks, missed highlights like this!

[@OctopusOwl]

I need Brennan Lee Mulligan to come back as Asmodeus for the big Assault

[@danielstephens1185]

06:30 Tal's shock at realizing, yeah that thing *is* heavy!

[@iitstre_4550]

Travis’ face after becoming Fjord was so fuggin funny! 😂😂😂 Also, he’s right, ass IS his specialty

[@istanon]

I think Matt may have recently watched American Werewolf in London for Chetney's vision. The kids kind of remind me of the movie theater scene.

[@dannybob42]

Why have nice friendly lore in the ruined city when you can have THE HORRORS! The team should combo more, still waiting on a Titan power combo, but that Dual Lightning was pretty epic, until the inevitable fireball - like it just had to be the classic Wild Magic fireball. Also Pate nooooooo! I don't trust Tevan either, one reason is obvious shipper protectiveness (Ashton we see you protesting the boyfriend comment) but also Calamity memories with Asmodeus, not a guy to trust even if Fearne wasn't the vessel for the Primordial Titan of Fire he wanted to use against the Prime Deities. Also sir, there's no pact! The mark was an invitation to pact but nothing's been agreed, no contract signed like Percy did, leave our Fearne alone! But man, Dominox, 18+ WIS save Grand Demon of Loathing, Matt killed FCG and now he's weaponizing the Hells' emotional baggage that's just mean. And cliffhanger on Dorian getting a Dominox vision of his brother before the live show, we are in 'Dear Matt, what the fuck man?' territory, and Ludinus is still rummaging around somewhere too! Gonna be a Hell of a time at the Greek

[@joshuastrittmatter4188]

I still have faith BH can win this bout. Villains beware, ‘cause you’re’bout to be DEAD.

[@dannybob42]

@@joshuastrittmatter4188 ​ oh I trust them to kick ass, maybe get some more important loot and lore stuff from Aeor (like there's a lot of untapped dunamancy still to deal with Ashton, what happens if they encounter a beacon? Plus Laudna will have a lot of Delilah senses with all the powerful magical artifacts) it's just a matter of a Grand Demon and Ludinus in the same space, even with Essek and Tevan and whoever Sam comes out as in the Live Show it would be a tall order to fight both. Plus if they seal Dominox then Ludinus has more freedom to mess around in Aeor, and we don't want to help him in his plans; in the long run it bodes more to try and convince Dominox to help with killing Ludinus, though I doubt it's the negotiating type.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@dannybob42 I'm pretty sure that Fearne kissing the Mark was her agreeing to the Pact, whether she meant to or not. Hence why when Tevan popped out, he said, "The Pact Begins." So yeah. There is now a Pact in effect.

[@dannybob42]

@@ForeverDegenerate no terms were laid out, it was a ‘call on me if you wanna talk about it’ thing, if I recall Nanna Mori called it an invitation when inspecting it too, not a contract

[@sage264]

Sam Riegel my love i miss you

[@AssortedAmazingness]

I kind of want to see Laudna use Void Puppet, and instead of like FCG or whoever, we see Ropey and Boaty come flying out 😂

[@iitstre_4550]

I’d pay good money for more Ropey and Boaty stuff 😂😂

[@AbadonXXX]

Oh no, demon engines from warhammer have arrived

[@si-rani3870]

I love how Laura knows to look at Talesin and see what Ashton’s reaction is to Fearne having a boyfriend. It’s perfectly high school and I’m here for it 25:10

[@Werewolfoverlord12]

So I know he said the devil is terrifying but... we all know Tevan's hot right? Like fearne has her monster lover license at this point. XD

[@Menhtrol]

Am i crazy for really wanting to see them do a full team combo kill on the final boss? 😆

[@TheHauntedKenku]

Matt stop playing dead by daylight 😂😂😂

[@eraddication]

oh my fucking gods were they using this demon like the Tree of Names???

[@grandpa6065]

this either predates the Tree of Names or came after the Tree died

[@Billejeangirl30]

42:42- 42:56 I mean I can't be the only one who thought the same thing Ashton did, right?

[@Sentinel_00]

Marisharaygun highlights was my go idk what happened after ep89

Travis is randy for combat in this one

This is my favorite comment ever

[@timd4524]

He's picked DM violence more this campaign, and it shows in the views. You don't send an epic level character unless you're trying to kill characters. Goes against the tenants of Dungeons and Dragons from the beginning.

[@mayaenglish5424]

Except for the fact that this is what his players wanted from the start and they clearly love it so... maybe don't project lol.

[@iitstre_4550]

@@mayaenglish5424Your comment literally doesn’t invalidate OP’s comment in any way. The only projection here seems like you 😂.

[@mayaenglish5424]

@@iitstre_4550 ? If the DM is doing stuff his players enjoy, how is that "going against the tenants of dungeons and dragons." Especially considering, from what I've heard of earlier editions, DnD used to be a meat grinder lol. If anything, they are moving slightly closer to form. The number one rule of DnD is have fun with each other. They're having fun with each other. You don't have to like the show, personal taste varies, but saying it's somehow because they're playing DnD wrong is just weird.
