The smoothest intimidation in critical role ever

C2E35
Mighty Nein carry out one of the smoothest intimidating displays ever seen in dnd. How far is too far?

[@green_dragon_knight]

It takes a great voice actor like Travis to show the full, horrifying potential of the Actor feat, paired with Mask of Many Faces

[@hero3250]

Fjord does not have the actor feat

[@green_dragon_knight]

@@hero3250 I think you’re right, I can’t see it on critrole stats. I guess Matt was happy for Fjord to just be very good at accents /mimicry without taking the feat

[@SupremeDouchebaggery]

It's a good way of showing early that fjord was good at accents, considering the reveal later.

[@SirGrimm]

@@hero3250 is it not part of the mask of many faces? pretty sure you can mimic the voice of the face too, not 100 percent as I havent played with it nor hand any in my game use it

[@drakekalluna8150]

@@SirGrimm Mask of Many Faces just gives you Disguise Self as an at will spell without a spell slot requirement. But early in the campaign and I believe later as well, Fjord talks about watching people and that he learned how to mimic people from just watching how they move, talk and interact. I think it's when he leaves the party and goes towards the Menagerie Coast during their first real downtime in Zadash.

When Nott thinks you´ve gone too far, you've probably gone too far.

[@ZypherWildfire]

Is this extra stuff all edited in by a third party? I don't remember seeing these additives such as the post-its or the caracter portraits in the few times I caught live or rewatched on Mondays.

[@ProffesionalNerd_nori]

@@ZypherWildfire Nah it’s all an original clip. They only did the fun post-it’s for a little bit in c2, but I kinda wish they brought them back cuz they were funny. The character names and art are in c3 but only at the beginning of the episode and after the break.

[@Blue_Lunacy]

This is a good clip to remind people that Travis know how to intimidate really well. And that calculating side of him could be one of reason why he is the CEO of CR company. Also, the top table went along with the each other without missing a beat. It was beautiful to watch.

[@anjelica948]

Travis has that magical ability to observe people and realize exactly what is needed in that situation and step into that role fearlessly and without hesitation.

[@HailHydra27]

Nah Travis is CEO because they needed to set up a company bank account and he was the only one free to go do the paperwork

[@ReverseUnicorn]

For the record, the guy they are ruining is an a-hole who had control of an enslaved Marid, a water genie. And had been trying to intimidate Jesters mom into seeing only him. Jester's the one who forgot her accent in the above clip.

[@MisterSmith00]

Oh, yeah…he was a creep & well on his way to villainy. However…! …and this is purely looking at the campaign baddies; “Algor” was just a piss drop in the bucket compared to some of the nasties the Mighty Nein encountered. Lost a hand..lost his home…lost his name…it was a fair deal.

[@Klespyrian]

He was seeing an expensive prostitue and got jealous, so they chopped off his hand, ruined his life, and sent him away from his home forever. Oh, and destroyed his reputation so everyone thinks he intentionally did all that the M9 did. Yeah, no. The punishment did not even close to fit the crime. The M9 are vicious and it was pretty gross through a lot of the campaign. Edit: To clarify, it was entertaining. But they often did extremely immoral things.

[@ReverseUnicorn]

@@Klespyrian No, he was trying to force a PERSON to see only him, against their will. He was also partaking of slavery, something you ignored. Him just being forced to flee with the lose of ONLY his hand was a light sentence.

Late campaign Fjord was a great character with a wonderful arc, but early campaign Fjord was a badass. And I completely forgot how early on Jester knew about Fjord's voice.

[@GhostlyGaminggg]

She knew the whole time

[@smutnejajo5149]

I still don't know how she found out, she just mentioned it one time

[@danielstephens1185]

1:09 I think he actually intimidated Matt too there! Lol

[@MerryMoss]

Daaamn, I forgot how creepy and badass this was! And when Caduceus started to decompose the hand...... yuck 🤣

[@Blue_Lunacy]

It is also rather crazy how five out of seven members of M9 have spell/ability to change their appearances. I would love to see campaign with these characters where they have to utilized the disguises to accomplished the goals.

[@ShesAaRebel]

The fact that they all forgot that they have an ally in a water genie they helped rescue baffles me. Would have really come in handy while fighting a WATER GOD at sea.

[@elizabethkblanco4620]

That’s what frustrates me but alas none of us are/were actually playing with them.

[@AddieLoS]

To be fair, it's been a long time irl since this happened, and I'm pretty sure the cast doesn't rewatch this stuff, so outside Marisha and Sam's note taking and maybe Dani reminding them, they're not getting too many reminders of this kind of thing, especially since they were already a good way into c3 when they did the brief M9 reunion.

[@carlotta4th]

My memory might be faulty here but don't they basically ask him if they get an iou and he's like "nope." But they let him go anyway?

[@jasonreed7522]

In all fairness its amazing how much you forget in the heat of the moment in this game, especially stuff from long ago, this was around episode 30 and the campaign was 141 episodes long, not counting breaks thats about 3years with this being like 8months in. On the other hand they had an invite to a water genie's palace in the water plane and never followed up on it. Admittedly they players could have known out of character when marisha goes back over her notes, but then decide that in character they wouldn't have thought of it. (They get deep enough into role playing that they regularly separate player and character knowledge like this)

[@somerandomserbian7077]

remember when they stole stuff from the lair of a white dragon? remember the rainbow dispelling stone that was chucked into the void in the Happy Fun Ball? it could have completely shut down Lucien’s plan to kill the Eyes of Nine. it hurts me still

[@matiasurrutia4116]

travis getting matt back for those kiki impersonations

[@GarlicAvenger]

When the Goblin Rouge (technically) in you party, is the one backing away saying "you people are fucked up..", you know you're doing something DARK. lol.

[@loganwestfall6290]

You know you've probably gone too far when the goblin in your party says "this is f*cked up" !

[@MsLeVagabon]

Doesn’t beat Caleb’s « I’ll go to work if I have to » but it gets very close Funny to think this is the guy that ordered the ring of fire protection that Fjord would end up « investing » in

[@anjelica948]

Or the moment during the reunion when Caleb tried to intimidate a Literal Betrayer God without batting an eye. Still though, this was a great moment with Fjord/Travis.

[@quietlodestar]

im pretty sure it was lord sutan that ordered the ring, the guy who they framed in zadash

[@MsLeVagabon]

could have sworn it was this guy, since the ring was supposed to be picked up and never was since the nein made him leave the menagerie coast asap maybe I'm remembering it wrong, its been a while @@quietlodestar

[@quietlodestar]

@@MsLeVagabon i actually always misremembered that it was the high richter prucine, who was killed by ulog the dwarf with a fireball necklace, and thought that the irony was that she couldnt pick up the ring of fire protection because she had been killed with fire before she could. but i checked the wiki and it said it was sutan who is just in prison

i only got into cr a few months ago and have only been catching up with the hells campaign but clips like this make me want to ditch it all and start m9. absolutely brilliant team

[@DaveJ188]

Do it, I haven't been able to catch up on C3 and never finished C1, but was never more than a day behind C2.

[@corner_stories]

That's great. All 3 campaigns have their own flavor. All of them are good.

[@matthewlane8955]

I love all three campaigns, but there is just something special about campaign 2.

[@nohtopia]

these replies are the sign that i needed to catch up with c3 ASAP so i can have time in between streams to start c2 🤟 give me like two weeks

[@weebjeez]

Perfectly cut "Jorge" that made it seem like Travis/Fjord was calling him a whore.

i got literal chills when i first watched this moment, shoot i still get chills. It was so great xD

[@jaeded2391]

See this is what happens when you mess with Jester's mom.
