This scene 6:34 where Delilah asks if they met before and puts the wine glass down covering Percy in blood was such a powerful shot. Brilliant symbolism there.

You, my dude, are the first person I've seen to point that out. I've been wondering if other people caught that -- I loved how they animated that moment. It really was an excellent bit of color symbolism right there.

That "Now your soul is forfeit." line gave me chills the first time I heard it in this episode.

If you notice Pike is holding concentration in the spell she cast on Grog;s Axe. Once Delilah stabs her with her spell the concentration drops because she failed the concentration check. It is so cool they are putting those little things in.

She’s also playing around with her wine glass during the conversation. Usually when people lie, they stay still to focus on the lie, but Delilah uses this so many times she doesn’t need to think about it.

Episode 1: Matt-NPC gets pissed on by Scanlan. Episode 2: Matt-NPC gets his ale barrel stolen by Grog. Episode 3: Matt-NPC gets tossed into a wall like a ragdoll by Grog, and called "fuckstick". I think they're really driving home how much shit the DM has to put up with from this group 😂

[@thomasdahlberg5920]

I mean, as every NPC in the world, yes. Yes, he did. My personal favorite was the 2 random guards Doty beat up while Grog and Tary were shopping, who Grog proceeded to kill. For no reason. But the way it played out was absolutely hilarious.

[@brandonvangieson8087]

Something I love that they really went hard on is how terrifying "No-Mercy" Percy is. Without spoilers for the campaign, it is always stressed that Percy is not a good guy. Talleisin I think said at one point "What's more noble? A good person or a bad person who desperately is trying to do good?" His execution so far has been spot on.

Also, I love the “Blue Screen” moment Percy has upon hearing of Sylas and Delilah walk in.

Entirely watched it from beginning to end multiple times. So when you see a close shot of Allura staring when the broken door flies by you can see in the corner a torn banner of a large bird (Roc) with cows at the bottom. That is a callback to the Cows & Consequences episode from the stream. Also, Seeker Assum and Lillith played by Kit buss was in that fight as well.

technically if they go in order the cows should be the next episode as they did that while awaiting their judgement from Uriel

[@bpita0202]

@@TheAciddragon069 I have a feeling that will be skipped as it’s the most “filler” episode of original run. Tal was out sick and he was sort of the most important piece of what happens next, so the cows side quest was a way of delaying it until Tal got back.

[@Zenshu1]

@@bpita0202 also vox machina were the heroes of emon at this point in the live stream(they had a parade and celebration and people recognized them on the streets and all of that), in the series they are pretty much unknown by anyone from what we can tell by interactions (or lack thereof) on the streets and the way the other Merc bands laughed at the name vox machina in the first episode so there would be no reason whatsoever for the local farm hands to come trying to beg vox machina to save their cattle from the Roc in the series, the local farm hands probably have never heard of vox machina and if they had it's that they are a bunch of worthless ingrates that are banned from all the taverns in emon for skipping out on bills.

1 positive outcome from having a very truncated and brief relationship with Uriel is that they will not have a strong rapport with him. So he is going to be WAY MORE PISSED at VM in this canon. Episode 4 is going to be way more intense than the original campaign. Can't wait.

yeah, the first arc felt a bit rushed, but that also means they will have a lot of episodes to explore the briarwood arc.

in the same way though by not being as close and this being the second time hes been controlled. it makes his outcasting of vox less impactful. he turned against those that helped him TWICE and that leads to a lot of his later decisions.

Correct, Percy is the inventor of guns in Exandria. At several points in Campaign 1 Percy makes a point about how he cannot allow the designs to fall into the wrong hands and let others build his inventions, about how devastating that could become if it gets out.

"These are Emon's 'Protectors of the Realm'?" The level of disgust and contempt that Matt puts into that line is great. Sylas has no concern for safety against these people, they're a minor inconvenience for him, to be humiliated and then destroyed to prove his own power.

[@Zenshu1]

I loved this episode, there were a few tiny things that disappointed me though I understand that they don't have the time to put everything in, I was really disappointed not to see the epic multiple crits in a row from vex on Delilah when she was rushing in to save her brother, and the reveal of Percy's mask and smoke felt a little less impactful happening immediately instead of later on after what appears to be just a decent into madness. Again overall great episode and I understand why the things that got changed had to be changed but I still feel a little sad about not seeing some of the more impactful bits make it in.

[@yiklongtay6029]

I think there was a possibility for the double crits to be redirected toward Silas since he is the damage sponge. That's not bad. Just replace Keyleth's eagle assault with devastating arrows from off-screen. Then the two arrow wounds and the single gun shot gets healed together afterwards

Welcome to the community! The Briarwood Arc starts around Session 24 of Campaign 1, and I think runs to about Session 38, or about 49 hours of play time, if I remember correctly, though not all of that time was directly related to the Briarwoods. The whole of Campaign 1, some related one-shots, and the first 19 episodes of Campaign 2 are on Geek & Sundry's channels, both Twitch and KZbin, where Critical Role streamed for several years both when it was owned and run by Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton, and for a period where it was owned by Legendary (a media company that has produced movies you've almost certainly heard of and possibly watched), and partially run by them (Marisha Ray (voice of Keyleth) had the Creative Director position for a couple of years, I think, and was showrunner for some of the shows on the channel) before splitting off to start their own company and channels. There are also Q&A videos on G&S that they used to do the week after CR episodes, called Talks Machina, and a variety of other work the cast did on the channel, both RPG related and otherwise. Several of the cast played in a game of Dread. There were some escape rooms. Both Taliesin Jaffe (Percy) and Marisha played in some sessions of a Vampire the Masquerade game, L.A. by Night. There was a geek news show called Signal Boost that some of the cast participated in. They had a weekly comic book show that Taliesin co-hosted called The Wednesday Club, which isn't on their KZbin channel, but might still be accessible on G&S's Twitch channel to subscribers, I don't know. The Wednesday Club's VODs might have been only available to subscribers of Alpha (Legendary's streaming platform for geek things, not just G&S, that I don't think exists anymore). The remainder of Campaign 2 is on Critical Role's channel as others have said, along with some Campaign 1 related one-shots that were played after they went independent. There are indexes on Critical Role and Geek & Sundry's websites for the content on their channels, I believe. There are also Critical Role fan sites that have pretty comprehensive information. Critrole Stats has lots of statistics about the games, their rolls, their playtime, etc... there is, or at least, there was, a publicly accessible and searchable fan-made transcript archive, I believe, that Critrole Stats has a link to. There are even resources for identifying cast wardrobe in some cases, for interested people.

No mercy Percy will never not be fun to watch. I love that Tal played an edgy AF character and still managed to make him look cool and not a dumb murderhobo. Percy is deeply flawed and yet he always worked with his friends and formed strong connections. To me, he is the quintessential Guts from Berserk! I love Tal for it. Also in the actual DND campaign, Tal was one of the few who really controlled the battlefield. He was a strong roleplayer and a strong combatant who understood his powers and made really good use of them to turn the tides in more combat scenarios, even in ones they would be fighting Enemies that aren't impacted by his gunshots. He used his maneuvers to the fullest to help the other party members in clutch moments.

This is basically episode 24 and 25 of campaign 1, and episode 25 is when I started watching live! Let me tell you, the whole chat and cast were freaking out over Vax being alone with the Briarwoods. Even Laura said she spent the entire week in between sessions worrying about her fictional brother. And Liam himself thought Vax was dead when he went unconscious in the courtyard, and may have let slip some feelings he had wanted to stay hidden up until then. If I had one complaint about this episode, it's that they left out how much Vex was panicking when she felt Vax go down, and how she SCREAMED when she saw the Briarwoods standing over his unconscious body, and rolled 2 nat 20s on attacks against them!

[@Zenshu1]

scanlan has got to learn to stay with the group the look on his face at the end was funny

[@belindaluna2067]

On the contrary, he might be the only one who's not arrested right now.

Who saw the flag in the keep that shows the cow from the Vox Machina episode with the cows and Roc monster

[@TheAciddragon069]

technically if they go in order the cows should be the next episode as they did that while awaiting their judgement from Uriel

In the stream the Briarwoods had to escape because they were about to lose. Also. Since they skipped the find Kima arc does that mean we won't get bearded Grog?

[@Starsaber222]

They could find that item somewhere else.

[@OneWingedAngelsBand]

If you think the ending of this episode is shocking, I rewatched the actual episode in the stream and it is much, much worse. 😱 SPOILER WARNING . . . . . . . . . . ... In the actual game, Percy threatened to shoot the guy's other hand off. 😈

[@arcticfoxinsox]

I forgot about that! Oh man!

[@hawkthorn33]

Gee you are acting like you do not have a spare 400+ hours to watch them all... Also, No Mersey Percy has entered the building...

This might be a spoiler, but Percy's pepperbox has a name . . . . . . it's called 'The List', and 5 of the 6 barrels is etched with the name of a person Percy wants to take revenge on. Two of the barrels bare the names Delilah and Sylas Briarwood.

[@N7AslansHobbit_Ry]

This is so weird.. again the videos are showing up in a weird order in the playlist.. awesome episode and reaction though!

[@TheMovieCouple]

It’s not going in the order that I put it in anymore. What’s it showing up lien for you? For me it’s showing up newest to oldest (though I ordered it the other way around)

[@N7AslansHobbit_Ry]

@@TheMovieCouple okay the first time I looked it had the trailer and cast video in the middle again but I just looked and yeah it's going newest to oldest instead of oldest to newest.
