My favorite CR moments are *backstory drop* *everyone’s eyes get wide* *scrambling for pencils*

[@whysrumgone]

Made better by the fact that it was the note-taker herself dropping the backstory this time. Every one who scrambled has relied on her notes for most of both campaigns

[@TaylorHam]

I thought Avantika's death was so heartbreaking for her character. All her ambitions, all her plots, cut through with a few punches. Such a smooth talker and at the end she couldn't even utter a single scathing phrase. This wasn't just an execution, it was a humiliation, a perfect destruction of what makes Avantika Avantika. Well done to matt, this was incredible.

[@mixmastermind]

Like a sword straight through the Gordian Knot.

[@zedre7633]

It seems Marisha really does have a way of stripping the sweet talk and wit away from her targets.

[@derse1292]

Very true. Makes me wonder if she might pop up again later as a lingering soul with a vendetta against the Nein.

[@squattingheads]

pretty sure that wasnt her. One of the crew was missing right? guess she switched places

[@clancyknox883]

squattingheads, outside of a Mislead spell I don’t think that she would have got the chance and I don’t think she was of sufficient magical power to do this. But you never know with the trickster god that is Mathew Mercer.

Beau: “I’m from a secret order of the monks of the Cobalt Soul, known as the Expositors.” *frantic note taking* I keep watching that moment, it’s so funny.

[@pebble_highleaf]

Yooo, y'all know Cad wasn't down for that shit. You could see the confusion and then horror on his face when Matt's decision was made. He was actually scared/horrified.

[@silversalmon9909]

I think it was because it was an unnatural death. Not a hungry animal just sustaining itself with food, or protecting itself. This was politically motivated, the man-made worlds ideologies resulting in her death. Probably very disturbing.

[@quietlodestar]

@@silversalmon9909 but it was an animal (though an intelligent one) protecting itself and its territory. There are animals that will kill potential threats that may overthrow it as head of the pack. If a lion is head of a pride he will chase off male cubs once they have grown to near-adulthood so that they don't overthrow them.

[@deffdefying4803]

@@quietlodestar Caduceus is very heavy on people dying at the right time for them in the natural cycle, rather than at the behest of someone else. Avantika’s life was cut short, in his eyes, rather than cut at the right point.

[@quietlodestar]

@@deffdefying4803 he is very acceptant that the nature of nature is one inherently violent. animals are constantly brutalizing and murdering eachother. thought this was stated in more recent episodes. it may be that when first leaving the grove he thought that death should be a natural and peaceful process but as he came face to face with the violence he and others commited and the dog eat dog world outside of the graveyard, he somewhat changed his philosophy. violence is as natural as it gets and animals' lives are constantly cut short by others.

[@MisterSmith00]

To have Avantika, who has already been established as a highly skilled, calculating & deadly individual, ultimately outplayed is simply VICIOUS. I mean...if Beauregard actually gave a damn half the time, she'd be just as formidable and terrifying. Her cold reveal of her affiliation with the Cobalt Reserve was chilling, and her subsequent knuckle-cracking & cut-off jabs were just ruthless...perhaps that's why she considers those in power with such disdain...she fears that she could be good at it.

[@LoneTailProductions]

I've had these exact thoughts, if Beau really wanted to go off the deep end, she'd be a force beyond reckoning. Especially when it comes to getting the information she needs. I think she fears she'd like the power WAY too much.

[@victorym744]

Aw man. GREAT ANALYSIS. I always wondered why Beau never used these tactics so often; but I have renewed appreciation for her. She didn't really revel in her achievement *too much*. I wondered about that; now i have an answer.

[@LazyPoet101]

Avantika's death was crazy! It was between her and the party and with a natural 20, and a failed charisma save could this only happen. I mean, she was ultimately against the party so she had to die at some point in the campaign, it was better that it was in a RP environment instead of battle in my opinion. Great vid!

[@NicoNeilson]

thanks! It's definitely interesting to see a villain death not take place in a battle

[@TheCart54321]

I mean you're right and wrong in my opinion it was kind of a letdown that they didn't kill her in battle or something really cool like that she went out bye simply a neck break it would've been nice if she was guillotined or hanged like that

[@deffdefying4803]

@@TheCart54321 Honestly I like the fact that it was just a neck break. Avantika was her own spindoctor, she talked big and thought of herself even bigger, but by contrast her incrimination and death was humiliating and for all to see.

[@rb4121]

@Cool Dude Do you know how much more intimidating her death was than by a guillotine or a gallow? This man went up to her, lifted her with one hand without a problem and just broke her neck like a goddamn twig. No actual trial, nothing, mess up under his reign and you'll be done for, that's pretty scary.

[@SPACEHARICE]

It's quite fitting for a villian dedicated to fjord to be beaten this way.

[@minusxero]

I'm kinda disappointed you cut out the best line: "You've got 60 seconds, but I've got more knuckles." Fantastic work as always, though!

[@waddledee474]

I love the juxtaposition of super spy beau over the nott and jester detective agency. This whole case was so...clean. 'Erybody was amazing, and they couldn't have done it without everyone doing their part, but I've got to say: Marisha -- MVP.

[@deffdefying4803]

Jester and Nott's Detective Agency is a rollercoaster, while Beau's mercenary spy tactics are more like a black car following you slowly as you walk down the street, keeping a middle distance.

[@Kabal07]

Marisha got deeply affected by it, at least in my perspective. Damn.

[@rettwoods]

Nico Neilson Damn. I know how many times one has to watch something when editing. That’s a bunch!

[@LoneTailProductions]

I feel like Marisha was so excited that the inquisitive monk that is the Cobalt Soul paid off SO highly.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

I thought this too. She has mentioned she felt like Beau might have been somewhat in awe of/inspired by Avantika. Ultimately, even if she was misguided and a little cruel, she was a powerful woman who fought hard to achieve things in her life. She looks genuinely upset in that moment. I think it's also easy to forget that you're not in a civilized place on a place like Darktow. You think it's going to be jail time or maybe a grand execution at some later date. Not the King snaps a neck right in front of you.

[@Kabal07]

[@GermanGoodGuy]

maybe it never comes up again, but either the Plank-King or one of his subordinates are bound to pick it up.

[@kaigillam]

That's not the way pact weapons or Hexblades work. The Hexblade patron itself is an entity that creates sentient weapons, not a sentient weapon itself. And pact weapons are simply weapons that Pact of the Blade warlocks can summon, they're not special weapons in and of themselves.

[@GermanGoodGuy]

Kaihu That might be true for some pact weapons, but this is different. I don´t think that Avantica´s pact was too different from Fjord´s and even as he takes different weapons as his pact weapon, they just basically fuse with the base-falchion. Yes, the diety might have some kind of control over who can pick it up and use it, but in the end, it needs followers to free it and will take the opportunity the same way it did when Fjord picked up his weapon after his friend´s death.
