Sam’s drinking canister says “I have gas” For any new viewers, Hi I’m Flando Maltrizian. I do this thing where I post timestamps to help myself and other people navigate these 4-hour long videos. Most people use them to find the place they fell asleep while watching live, to help speed up rewatch/catchup sessions, or to find good jokes and dramatic stuff. You can click on the blue timestamp numbers on the side, and the video will automatically go to that time and start playing. Good to be back for C3, see y’all in the comments. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

[@D_A_D_]

Travis is an expert at playing up the weaknesses of his character. Grog was a complete badass, but everyone's first thought about him is, "MAN, Grog was stupid." Fjord was a genuine super hero with such immense personal growth, but everyone remembers him being scared of turtles. It makes his characters so relatable and memorable.

In one game of the oxventurers (on OutsideXBox and OutsideXtra), they ended up fighting possessed furniture made from an evil tree in a forest they had previously visited. I thought at the time, "Love this, and there is no way Critical Role would ever do this" Oh, how little 2019 Brent did know....thought then again, there was the honey heist, and the nightmare before Critmas....but also, I didn't know about those then, so....have I Riegeled this reply yet?

[@M00nSlippers]

It's Marisha (Laudna). Her accent is described as Midatlantic by the Captions, which was sort of a fake stage accent that wasn't natural but rich people and actors, especially in the south would use it to seem fancy. Laudna kinda has a voodoo bayou vibe too.

The fact that the EXU participants showed up must have thrown off a lot of bingo lists. That being said, this also means Dariax may return as NPC.

[@mikenrad3507]

i didn't even consider this as a possibility! hope so!

[@MarkZeroGaming]

Oh I'm hoping we get an episode where Aimee shows up to play Opal, and Matt looks at the camera and says "we have another guest tonight..." And then gets up, out comes Aabria to helm behind the DM screen, and Matt sits down at the table to play Dariax with the whole crew!

[@coryfinch6729]

@@MarkZeroGaming this would be good in theory but I'm assuming that Aabria would have to still take the story in a way that Matt planned for? so maybe it would have to be a very railroaded episode? Also if thats the case maybe there wont be many surprises for Matt as a character? i'm probably wrong

[@tubeplunger]

@@MarkZeroGaming If Aabria helms the DM screen for CR im jumping out the window. Hell no.

Marisha losing it completely when FCG names the smells his creator loved. Completely contagious. Priceless.

[@criticalwhiskey]

tbh her and robbie's reaction alone might be funnier than the actual joke

I’ve just realised that once again, Taliesin has created another character whose Mini will be a nightmare to paint due to that left side that was described.

And to cosplay. 😂

@@mineola_ Check his Twitter, Tal is already drinking the cosplayers tears. He knows *exactly* what he's done ,)

[@mineola_]

@@MidnightHeir 😂 I'm pretty sure it's his mission by this point. But the people brave enough to attempt it will look dope as fuck though!

i'm betting on lot of people learning how to make sillicon prostetics creating a full head cap with tony stark style "hole" covered by a shiny layer to pull this off

Matt’s Herculean restraint in including neither a door nor a chair among the evil furniture.

Hed knows that we would have only asked for more doors (moredor) So his plans for doors went away (gonedor). Ill se myself out

There should have been a rake :)

[@finalfiend335]

its too early to start planning for campaign 4. the tpk door would be legendary though

[@TaraDjoric]

Carpet! Combat!

[@allisonm4493]

See y’all in about 3 years when the campaign’s over and we’ll come back to these comments to cry… We’ll remember the simpler times, the secrets yet to be revealed, the events yet to unfolded. Here’s to a new group of characters to meet and fall in love with, and the story of our new favorite unnamed adventuring party

[@nicolerobertson2654]

See you then!

[@MrK133n]

This is the way.

[@kairoikki6981]

God, I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens!! Comments like this just get me so excited for what's in store >:3

[@Slyphantom]

Hey guys. Here from 2024. Man. This brings me back. Its been hell of a ride. Especially when that one character died. Oof. No spoilers on who or when though. 🤫
