Orym is not ok 😢 plus Fearne's power play 😇 | C3E108 Breakdown | Luboffin |

OMG I completely forgot to talk about Braius and Morri 🤣 I'll have to talk about it next week. Let me know your favourite moments I might have missed too!

[@hollymac77795]

OMG that talk between Braius and Morri was something. Hopefully we’ll get a few answers to that next episode. They are living up to Matt’s slip up of dirty assed voice actors along with nerdy 😂

All the Dr who fans after Zathuda gets loomed: moisturize me!

[@bookmarkyourthoughtsblog]

I am SO glad Orym spoke up. I feel like a lot (not all) of the party want to do certain plans based off of what THEY want and not what's best for Exandria. And I like that he isn't necessarily saying he won't do what the Archheart suggested or etc. etc. ... he's just saying let this not be such a joke of a thing to talk about, which I'm so glad. Again, always love your videos! It's fun to see what you and others in the comment section have to say!

[@michellemahar9030]

My concern is that both Fern and Orym won't survive this and it will leave Dorian incredibly hurt and bitter.

[@TakeWalker]

"I barfed down there, I threw up!" nothing could have prepared me for that XD

These videos are a lovely way to relive episodes without a full 4+ hour rewatch 🎉

[@leeway3739]

I am relatively new to your channel so I didn't know you had been on hiatus, but I love your breakdowns and recaps. I sometimes find it hard to follow the story completely all the time, especially when new things are happening (like Downfall), so I find your way of bundling information a really helpful supplement. Thank you!

[@mattball8622]

I love when the spirit of Fearne just fully takes over Ashley and she starts just delighting in whatever horrors Matt is describing. Fearne has a lot of (understandable) risidual anger and she gets to be mean sometimes. As a treat.

[@Tilla00]

I remember that I just had this gut feeling when we very first found out that Ludinus wanted to release a God eater and kill the Gods, that this campaign won't have a "happy ending" like C1 and 2 (Yes I know there is sadness in the endings, but all in all, it was a happy ending imo). And as the campaign went on, I felt a little better. Now after the Archheart showed up to talk to Bells Hells, the bad feeling is back in full force. But I'm here for the ride, and I'm gonna laugh and cry with them through the remaining episodes

[@guamae]

Just want to add my voice of support, I'm glad you're back making videos again! 😺 I also like the new schedule of theory-videos on Mondays, and recaps on Wednesdays.

[@Jimersion]

Am holding out for the Nana Morri plushie.

[@baxjjohn]

I believe it was the Archeart, because the Feywild is the Archeart's realm. If by any chance it was the Lord of the Hells (who to our knowledge is still inprisoned in the Hells) the really Archeart would have reacted

[@hollymac77795]

Fantastic recap. Can’t wait for the next episode and your recap of it. It’s been quite the campaign so far

[@goatelope7539]

I love watching these videos. Both the commentary and the recaps are very cool. Well done I think you

Hey Luna, long time watcher of CR, but recently found your channel! I’ve added it to my weekly checklist! The main episode, the new Cooldown, then both your recap and breakdown episodes. I’ve really been enjoying myself, so thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.

[@Luboffin]

Thanks got being here! 🥰

Thank you for the breakdown and that great clip from Dimension 20. Had to rewind the vid at the end to look at your gorgeous little fur goblins ❤

So happy to see you back making these videos. You do such a great job with them.

[@willow8783]

I agree that, even though the Arch Heart is the god of the fey, I think it was really him reaching out there. Unless Asmodeus, while being hunted down by the Primes and other forces to be locked away behind the eventual divine gate that was put up, was able to find the hair the Arch Heart tossed into the sky and sent into his realm that became the star and ring- it's definitely a hard sell. What I DO think is that the prayer that Braius painted out in his little message that Asmodeus answered DID let the Lord of the Hells know that at least one of his siblings is plotting against the others in a plan to leave Exandria... and he knows it isn't one of his Betrayers. I'm sure good guy Asmodeus won't do anything with this information that'll sow distrust and discord amongst the Primes leading into this upcoming battle that would make them extra trigger happy for Calamity 2.0.

[@PrincessDalathiel]

I've been rewatching the episodes of campaign 2 where they go through aeor, and something occurred to me about the nature of Predathos. To oryms point, there's so little that can be said for sure about what it will do, but we have 2 or 3 points of connection that are very interesting: molasmyr, ruidus, and possibly aeor. What they all have in common is very weird genetic mutation. I think that's the strongest evidence on the table to the nature of Predathos, pointing towards very real side effects to non-deities, even if Predathos isn't interested in eating them after.

[@TheyCallMeCarg]

There's one word I'm very surprised to not have come up this entire campaign (and if it has I missed it and I'm sorry) - deicide. Releasing Predathos is potentially inviting deicide on a mass scale, yet everyone talks about ending the gods in the same way people debate whether or not to implode a derelict church. Putting that word out there, I think, would bring things into focus.

[@vincentabramo7175]

I am not sure about Bells Hells anymore.. Orym & Imogen seem to be the only beacons of light within the group. I'm questioning the group's morality, even in the face of Ludiinus & the Ruby Vanguard. They are certainly not fully righteous but calling them "heroes" seems to be a stretch.

[@TempestRyu]

Omg the cute little fur babies at the end 🥹🫶🏼

[@kalemas1]

Marigold really wanted to be part of this episode

[@charleswolfmusic]

Came for the recap, stayed for the marigold tail shots! 😂😂

[@jrmcerry9605]

I thought it interesting when Zethuda noted that fae lack empathy. It creates a different perspective for fearne and his dynamic

[@daveisghost5173]

The art piece part reminded me of something straight out of the mind of Clive Barker. Just have chains and hooks having him stretched out with his face in the middle and that is some straight up Hellraiser stuff.

[@davidgolfspro]

The loom was horrifying. While I understand Fearnes' choice to let the Fey dragon go, I do wish it stayed as its own choice. For the first theory, I really like the idea of Nana Mori working with Zathuda. While being a creature of chaos, speeding up time for a person sounds like a complication I would expect from a Fey deal. However, with all the complex plans taking place in preparation for the Apogee Solstice. The theory does feel inline for something that could happen. I think it is a great theory. For the second theory, I think the Arch heart was the Arch heart. Having seen downfall the values displayed by the Arch heart felt consistent with what we have seen recently. While the devious temptation is present, i don't think it was Asmodeus. Overall great video, have an awesome day!

[@Dunybrook]

Matt is absolutely tricky enough to fool us by using the same actor for both the real Arch Heart and the faux one. The party already has one dragon they can summon at will with Coriolis so Gloamgut would be a welcome addition. They are going to need all the help they cn get.

Hi

[@RouththeRLPanda]

I think the players dont quite understand. Ira and Nana both are really not good people. Not even by their kinds standards i imagine.

[@phongle7245]

orym is starting to "crack" down. He never talk about his emotions or his opinion, so slowly we will see more of this.

[@lordofillusions]

Honestly, I'm getting really tired of the Critters glorifying this party descend into madness and evil. I want to see more heroism from Orym and the others. I want Braius shut down from devil worship, I want the necrophilia relationship between Laudna and Imogen to end. Laudna's imprisonment of Delila was horrific, even though it did give her control. I feel Imogen would be a better... um, more heroic, in a different party. (I really enjoy watching these players, but these characters in Campaign 3 are my least favorite.) When I watch this campaign, I'm reminded of a paraphrased quote from the "Superman/Shazam" short: "Being evil is always easier. Being good always takes more strength, so be strong. Be good." Is it a coincidence that the players are exploring characters at their most corrupt (Orym and Darius being the exception) during a campaign where the main plot is the removal of the gods? (rhetorical)

[@cloudstone123]

This is the episode where Orym finally annoyed me. Earlier periods of self righteousness were less annoying than this but here he went into being unreasonable, and I am also annoyed no one pointed it out. It seemed like something Talesin's character might clue in on. It is just like life in general where you never have guarantees of a positive outcome that favors you except the stakes would be higher. There is a lot more pressure but the same principle exists. He said 'don't let it be a coin toss'. Okay, but what if that is the only option because you don't have perfect information? What if the guarantee you want doesn't exist and never will since there is a time limit? Does it mean you are going to be gambling with a huge number of lives? Yes. But the choice at this point is binary. Do something and people may die or do nothing and everyone will die. I'm a do something person. Now Liam may be thinking as Orym that choices like this are too big for one person to make. That is true. I can picture that. But every leader should expect to face this kind of choice at some point. You don't put it up to some kind of vote where everyone in the world has a say. There isn't always that kind of time to find the information you can only hope exists so you can make an optimal choice. It may not exist at all. Sometimes you have to suck it up and go with what you have and hope it works out then deal with the fallout later because the cost of doing nothing is just too damn high.

[@colejohnston8924]

@@cloudstone123 I think you may have missed why Orym started talking in that scene. The group was talking about going forward with Imogen and Fearne as the vessels as the first plan. That's why Orym spoke up because to him releasing Predathos is not a first option at all because of all the unknowns and the Wildmother telling him not to let it. Orym even said that if it's not possible that he will stand by their (Imogen and Fearne) side and do whatever he can to help them if it comes to that. His outburst wasn't a self-righteous this is the only option move it was a hey that can be a fall back but going into this with the intention of releasing Predathos is a huge coin flip that we might not have to do if we can stop it in the first place. TLDR: Oryms plan is stopping any Predathos release is priority one. If that's not possible Imogen and Fearne being vessels can be a back up.
