Murph is the angel of mercy

[@ibo1321]

Starting her shopping list with the fragmentation charge and then putting the focus on the thermal detonators was the best play I think Emily could have done

would love a cut of brennans confidence falling during this fight, from "i've never been less sure of a pc victory" to "jesus, i'm fuckin' ruined."

Emily just running over 'fragmentation charge' in the list of things she's buying very quickly and casually.

[@ExactlyMC]

They actually said in adventuring party that their (gunner channel) strat was to bring it up to buy but have everyone really talk over/bowl over it with jokes and other stuff so brennan didn't have the chance to pick up on it. Definitely worked lmao

[@TheEllie138]

We love Operation Slippery Puppet 👌🏻

[@gentrygilpin5851]

A resigned "I am the angel of mercy" is peak Murph energy.

Almost expected him to follow up with "it's a living"🤷

[@rakkasaniron1696]

Emily Axford continuously returning to the well of ripping the legs off of a turtle to feed her pet nightmare dog is some truly genius comedic sense.

[@africanviolet4773]

“I have a really good magnet to decorate your drone with” is on par with “a count can coup”

[@OdeOneEleven]

3:26 Emily can barely contain her excitement for the absolute chaos she's going to inflict on Brennan.

[@Brisarious]

I feel like Emily must have practiced "actually, I have the money. Let me get 2 thermal detonators" before hearing about the 20% markup

[@damiand6818]

I look forward to having "How did you know there would be a Plinth!" clip. That entire sequence with operation Slippery Doll (..Or whatever it actually was called) is maybe my top D20 moment. As a long time GM I know the feeling of players accidentally having something (item, plan, spell, etc) that is somehow the literal perfect thing for an encounter and just having to be 'well alright I can't say it doesn't do what it does'.

the way tailspire has given brennan the fucking NERVE to constantly end non-finale episodes during the height of combat……he won’t let us live

[@Rylee_G]

The only reason I'm half okay with it is because I need a week to make the operation slippery puppet/plinth comp

[@felixjimmyleon]

Let's be real this is just like the time Ally resurrect themself at the Fantasy High Season 1 finales. Brennan needs the break to recoup from unexpected game breaking.

[@sarahbearbabygirl]

slippery puppet was so great tho, i watched it thursday morning at 7 am during breakfast and was literally SQUEALING with excitement during it

[@Reven619]

I KNOW I was fuming, driving home listening to the audio, and THERE IS STILL THINGS TO KILL and Brennan is calling for the episode to end. Love talespire tbis season but how dare

[@Thea1d2r3i4a5n6]

critical role has a clip where they dodge a bullet for looking like they praised drugs but these guys out right cheers for it, this is why i love these guys

[@elbruces]

I was half expecting Lou to turn to the camera and go "remember kids, drugs are how to achieve your goals, and that is the official opinion of Dropout TV!"

[@Torlik11]

It probably help that they have their own website with subscription. CR make their show on youtube and twitch, two websites that have strict rules about what you can do and say on it.

[@Jeffry_Ab]

CR has to deal with sponsor requirements and twitch TOS, those limit you a lot in terms of what you can get away with, but yes, the unhinged shit that comes out of D20 as a result of that is why I love it so much

[@deathbykonami5487]

Just goes to show that Critical Role needs their own thing, like D20's Dropout. No more parental guidance bullshit from KZbin and Twitch. Ffs, parental guidance never works anyway, I hear f bombs (and worse) coming from kids that are barely out of grade school.

[@felixjimmyleon]

I think we need a video that is just Brennan saying he's not sure about PC victory with a direct cut to his face when the girls break the game. (and maybe a wasted edit on top of that face)

I didn't notice Ally's Cocteau Twins reference the first time.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

I feel like Riva should have been able to switch between drones but have it be really difficult/risky. Like it takes 2 full rounds, and there’s a chance she gets locked out of the og body, or not all of her consciousness gets attuned (no memories, no wisdom/intelligence, etc.). It was such a cool idea and outside combat is totally reasonable. I wish Bren and Siobhan had had more time to figure out a way it works.

[@eliza6971]

This might have been my favorite bc episode ever 🥲
