I've watched several reactions to this episode and no one has yet mentioned that the writers had Percy spend the first half the episode lecturing others about controlling their emotions only to have him go full murder hobo at the end. Absolutely delicious irony.

[@AnxietyRat]

Exactly! He was ribbing them about the proper etiquette before the feast....and then ended being the one to break ALL the rules.

[@DeathKitta]

And I can't blame him xD

[@drago2drago]

Yaboyroshii called it out

[@katienichole6905]

Fun stream fact that I love While the context of "your soul is forfeit." is slightly changed up, it was a combat encounter and keyleth was next in initiative And marisha just went "I spent my turn staring at Percy who just screamed 'Your soul is forfeit!'" "Is that all you do?" "/Yeah/!"

[@WizardCM-1337]

Roleplay influencing combat that heavily is just 👌

[@bellareichardt1733]

I remember being confused why Marisha got so hung up on that line. At the time, I thought Tal was just trying to talk shit during battle. I truly wouldn’t have given it a second thought if Keyleth hadn’t been so concerned

[@BeinIan]

@@bellareichardt1733 I had the same experience, but I guess in-game it makes sense. The characters know there are beings that literally consume souls, so "Your soul is forfeit" sounds less metaphorical to them.

[@katienichole6905]

@@BeinIan plus they'd never seen it from Percy before. Not the characters or cast. We spent two episodes in Legend with Percy being quietly background. In the campaign, it was into the twenty something episodes of the same with him just being a bamf in combat and having hilarious quips. The cast spent two YEARS with chill, background, unassuming Percy And then he blew a hole in a man's chest the size of a baseball and then kept pulling the trigger on an empty gun while screaming THAT. A+ choice from marisha, she was just as shocked as keyleth. Taliesin the king of keeping is close to the chest.

That's not minor illusion that's his belt and I believe it's name is Simon.

@@chasethemaster3440 That's good characterization right there. He carries himself like he's above everything, and he has nothing to fear from anyone.

The artists did a brilliant job.

I'm still impressed that they managed to make the Briarwoods but also No Mercy Percy even scarier than they were in C1. Fun Fact: Matt didn't know the NPC would look like him.

[@FrikInCasualMode]

Yeah. "Spot the Matt" is definitely a thing now.

According to Matt he’s in every episode available this far, and something bad always happens to him. It’s a reference to the cabbage merchant from Last Airbender

The snake is an enchanted belt and his name is Simon named after a child they saved pre stream.

[@emberise6613]

Adam's reactions to the Briarwoods and Percy are just perfection. Yes. He's absolutely my favourite character in campaign 1, him and Vex, because, well, Jay has pointed out Laura Bailey's insane D&D skills. But I'm so glad that the show manages to cultivate that utter detestation of Delilah Briarwood so quickly and so well, and also managed to make Percy likeable enough in the first two and a half episodes and gave him enough clear trauma and motivation that when he goes dark af at the end there people are still vibing with him. One thing I do regret is that because of the fast pace of the animation it just wasn't possible to do as much build up to the Briarwoods. Watching campaign one and seeing Taliesin just sort of straighten up and start paying attention when Matt mentions their names in passing for the first time. And then there are a couple more small mentions and a whole other arc of the campaign goes by, so you've almost forgotten them, and people gradually noticing Percy's complete PTSD brain melt whenever they are mentioned is just... Taliesin sells it. He just sort of freezes in his seat when Matt says the name. And then he addresses it in character with Percy's est attempt at casual and brushes it off and... the level of roleplaying right there is what hooked me on Taliesin and Percy's character. It starts out so subtle and builds and builds and builds... until. Jay, don't know if you'll read this comment, but the Briarwood arc is absolutely worth watching. It's still my favourite arc of the VM campaign, when they said they were going to do it for the kickstarter I was so excited and it's already working so well. Also excited about Sylas's sword. Damn I need to rewatch campaign one, but I am also not caught up on campaign 3. Also low key want to play D&D with you guys now. You sound like you have a really fun group. I hope you get back to playing soon.

[@MrKrory]

"No one knows how to create a character better than Taliesin." I'd say that Liam is a pretty damn good contender - Caleb was by far my favorite from Campaign 2... but yeah, man, Caduceus was... he was something special.

[@jocco13]

I'm sorry but the I wish you would find somebody to mourn you speech is second only to the cupcake for me lol

[@leonielson7138]

7:56 Adam: "Excuse me, what?" That's Simon, he's been a part of Vox Machina this whole time. For his origin story, or at least how Vax came by Simon, you'll have to get 'Kith and Kin' by Marieke Nijkamp.

[@mayaenglish5424]

8:17 THANK YOU! I've watched so many reactions and so far no one else has noticed the beautifully dark shot of Percy seen through the red wine! I was like, Come on people, It's so poetic! Pay Attention! lol 👍

[@mayaenglish5424]

The belt that turned into a snake is named Simon and is a magical item. And they decided to turn it into a one eyed trouser snake in the animation because they're all 10 year old's lol. (The eye patch is new).

[@DocEonChannel]

8:00 It's not an illusion, it's a belt that turns into a snake. Just a minor magic item that Vax picked up at some point. Got used, like a handfull of times in the whole campaign. :)

This story arc is where I fell in love with critical role. This and the Chroma Conclave arcs are my favorite.

[@Vision_Backup]

It seems like it has already happened in the show canon. If you look at the banners when Allura walks in (around 5:10 in the reaction) it's of a giant bird over a field of 7 cows.

[@TheSpyder52]

"No one knows how to create a character, better than Taleisin." Truer words.....

Just a side note the Dude is not just a vampire he is a Vampire Lord. He is levels above what a regular vampire is. In this world the vampire not only has to bite you he has to drain you completely to make you a vampire.

[@silentjackm.d4490]

Something I do love that they portrayed here technically in D&D higher vampires are pretty much unstoppable like they are meant to be one man armies calling upon the dead and actually being immortal. They can only be killed by direct sunlight or holy objects, which I did find cool that they actually show that vampires can move around in day it's just they can't be exposed to direct sunlight so if it's cloudy vampires can come out to play

[@CRWM987]

Campaign two is so good. If you watch it you'll fall in love with it. I'd even be down for reactions to those, every like 10 episodes or so. Some of the shit that goes down deserves reactions.

None of the reactions I've seen noticed that Silas had no reflection when he and Delilah were walking in the hallway. She did, so she's not a Vampire, which raises more questions from me tbh as a viewer of only seasons 2 and 3.

[@AnxietyRat]

No, she isn't a vampire. Just Sylas. This isn't a spoiler...you can TELL her magic is dark visually in the show. She is a necromancer. Which is debatablely MORE dangerous than a vampire in some ways.

[@beeta137]

I remember people in the in-video stream chat assuming both Briarwoods were vampires when campaign 1 originally aired, with ONE person correctly guessing that Delilah is a necromancer right off the bat. So... the reactors aren't alone. =)))

[@AnxietyRat]

@@beeta137 oh, for sure! I remember that as well. Slight spoilers for the sun tree episode. I watched the sun tree episode the other day and They(chat) also fully thought that the "gallows tree" was percys family...and not the warning to VM it clearly was described by Matt to be.

[@christopherhodges7607]

Best part is that Lady Delilah Briarwood is voiced by Grey Griffin, aka Azula from Last Airbender.

[@brettcoon9773]

If you want a good title for this episode as well, this is a great example of Percival's nickname "No-Mercy-Percy". Taliesin has some mythical way of critting and doing massive amounts of damage and being SCARY, then action surging and doing it ALL over again. *Edit* I just realized I'm dumb and that's the name of the thumbnail picture of the video......

[@knuckles543]

Nat 20 Sharpshooter feat, no disadvantage on long range if it’s within the range stated in the book (I believe it was 320ft), can forgo advantage to add a +10 to an attack roll Bad news (his big gun) rolls at least a D10 per shot but could only fire twice before reloading (which was a bonus action for him, as part of his gunslinger class, is now a feat anyone can take called “Firearm proficiency”) He got a new small gun called animus at one point (D8 per shot) and then he got a relic (the vestige) that let him absorb a number of spell slots (i.e a lvl 5 spell gave 4 or 5 slots) and he could then add those slots for an extra chunk of damage (it was like 3D8 per level at least) 4 shots per normal attack Action surge gives 4 more attacks and one more bonus action (another reload) With all that (and his “golden snitch” dice; sadly now lost to us) he could do upwards of 120 damage per turn Dude could rival and surpass Grog and Vax in damage

[@GodBear97]

And "No Mercy Percy" has arrived!

[@unicyclist97]

[@alysoncarter7074]

Other things you may find fun :The belt 'Simon' has an eyepatch cos he's a one eyed trouser snake lol. In the live show Vax was not only unconscious but fails 2 death saving throws due to the 2/3 attacks Silas was unloading on him, if he had got that 3rd one in Vax would have been dead, and if it was a huge attack = perma-death ( we all thought he would die, he does this amazing pre death monologue I was in tears)

The Briarwood's appearances are pulled directly from Travis and Laura's cosplay on a Halloween Episode of the live-stream. They nailed it so well they literally defined the visual look of the couple, better than Matt ever had.

[@SupergeekMikeDowntime]

Mechanically, I assume Grog IS raging during these fights, but “I would like to rage” is reformatted as a power-up for the show (although I suspect it will map onto the moments when he went reckless in the campaign lol). I also DO like that they include it as a power-up catch phrase so viewers who go on to play D&D might carry it with them into their games - as you said, you’ve gotta declare your rage somehow!

I was a little on the fence on this series, but seeing your reaction videos in my feed, I caved. I am happy that I did. Finding out that Travis Willingham was in this just had me busting out laughing.

I’m having as much as you guys are with this series and enjoying your reactions, too boot.

[@Nargon46]

I'm so proud of everyone involved in this show. And the Briarwood arc is perfect for Season 1. I started listening to Critical Role starting in Campaign 1 Episode 1, and the Briarwood arc is when s--t gets real. Now I have only 6 episodes left of C1. 10000% worth watching/listening to! This show has so many great in-jokes, genuine heart and soul, incredible music, and the characters are spot on (as I would expect them to be). Long live Vox Machina!

[@NotjustNay]

Hey guys, at 8min mark when the belt turned in to a snake, that’s actually a belt vax had in the campaign that had the ability to change to a snake (magical items are the shit) mat does such a good job with the items in his universe.

You have probably heard this from others, but Season 1 and 2 are both going to be from Campaign 1. The Mighty Nein wont come into play for a while. I'm guessing they can do at least 3-5 seasons on Campaign 1 alone and then start a spin off series, "The Legend of the Mighty Nein."
