The Weavemind | Critical Role - Bells Hells ep 116

[@fariz7727]

Beau stun + caleb disintegrate is the perfect combo since being stunned auto fails Dex check disintegrate works perfectly

[@HoeJo-j2m]

Dude I'm telling you mighty nein is definitely the strongest party out of the three .

[@shortsinthedark8906]

Yes , caleb is no joke plus they have two(kind of) healers and a high level monk and kind of unkillable yasha (might be wrong but I think she doesn't die as long as she can keep her rage up and she can keep it up for indefinitely) fjord and veth for the ranged heavy damage

@@shortsinthedark8906 I’m not sure for her rage after death thing but level 15 barbarians only end rage if they get knocked out or they end it themselves so…..maybe??

Thanks for getting the nuanced moments. You got their micro expressions. I love it. 💛

Caleb makes me want to play a wizard every time I see him fight.

[@Avalon247]

Caleb is a Lumen Sage with the heart of an Umbra Witch

Thank you for including parts of the cooldown :)

Liam got cast as Dr. Strange in the new Marvel Rivals, so he pulled out his Sorcerer Supreme with that Time Stop/Double Fireball Wombo Combo.

I can already hear Caleb saying Halt as he Casts Witch Time.... Liam plays Bayonetta, confirmed

[@DreamEngine707]

Caleb and the Archheart having the BIG BOLD MOVES of their fights was not on my bingo cards this year.

[@drhouse6165]

Sam knows he has halfling luck. He famously refuses to use it. (except when it's over a cursed dagger Veth couldn't drop)

45:35 wonders if Matt got inspiration for the Qu form “All Tomorrow” with their mastery of genetic alterations?

[@Krymson22]

Damn you were fast with this one

[@CritRoleClips]

I try to be fast with each video but other things get in the way unfortunately 😔

[@brendanJ466]

​@CritRoleClips we appreciate the work and time spent. Absolute dopamine go to, when I don't have the time to put episodes on

Might Nein still the best cast of characters

[@rockandrollfantasy86]

Laura's French is actually pretty well pronounced for an American.

[@Thinkingmakesitso.]

Did anyone get the translations for when they spoke in French?

[@dannybob42]

And the Nein do it in one less! In the most Nein way possible That 150 gold's gonna go to Luc's college fund, if Veth doesn't bet that away in the future. I hope for Yasha's sake they have savings. Another battle, another map, but something tells me the biggest maps are yet to come... Weavemind talk a big game but the Mighty Nein are the gods of one liners. Even 'there's no chairs in here' hits hard, Cad was on fire too Sam how dareth! Not liking doughnuts, and wiping off the sugar! Back in the French Purgatory for you! Caleb Widogast doing his Wizard(gast) thing, Essek would be so proud, and other emotions Let's NOT throw the game Travis! We actually kinda like these characters, including the one you keep trying to kill every day. Plus you wouldn't want to risk Fjord and Jester's lives again when the Fjorester wedding live show is sold out. Because that is it now, all other enemies are gone; Otohan and Ratanish are dead, Liliana turned, Zathuda loomed, Ozo sock puppeted, and Weavemind dusted, all that's left is Ludinus and maybe Predathos: and that's terrifying. Both VM and the Nein needed their clerics, their Divine Interventions, and the Hells have neither, they're 5 levels lesser and up against someone as if not stronger - even if everyone but Otohan was planning on turning on him - as the others, likely with backup and a massive map because we all know Matt is saving his best and worst for the end. They can do it, they've handily beaten his Simulacra twice before, but they have to be on form; since VM had the vestiges to buff them and the Nein had the synergy to bounce back from their bad rolls, all the stops need to be pulled out and it just makes me so nervous because I want them to make it out alive and make the right choices. It also is terrifying that this means this is the endgame of the endgame, Campaign 3 is almost over, it could have already finished recording for all we know! I don't want it to end, there still feels like so much stuff we were yet to uncover, stuff the characters never got to realise about themselves; we never went to Hishari, we didn't tell FRIDA about FCG, we haven't gone to PopCon! All we can do is wait, and pray, lots of praying, join me in the prayer circle.

[@EBProGamer]

I really love all the characters of campaign 3 however this is my biggest criticism of it. The main threat was pursued way too quick and too soon Therefore a lot of character focused stories were just left unfinished. That's why campaign 2 was my favorite. It was a character focused story that really smoothly weaved into the main threat

[@dannybob42]

@@EBProGamer yeah, I can't fault Matt for wanting to do something different from the Nein so it stands out (though if he kills/gets rid of all the gods all his buildup for the Chained Oblivion is for naught) but the large overarching plot did create the air of prioritizing it over the characters. The table are having fun at least and maybe them not being fully realised adds to the stakes but I can understand why it feels a bit lacking in that department

[@HoeJo-j2m]

​​​​@@EBProGameri mean they kinda got almost all characters Laudna : we got to see her backstory and closure with Delilah Chetney: we get his story 2 times finding other lycanthropes + deanne and Santa Ashtyn : since we got to know his past and why he is the way he is + the whole Titan thingy(we didn't get hishari though) fearney was in exu still we got to know fearnes parents, Fey realm , morrigan , sorrowlord Orym : also in exu still we got to explore the ashari , why his hubby was killed , him becoming the saviour blade , Imogen : almost all her stuff is stretched out through the campaign Fcg : we got to explore as much as we could before the whole thing happened But I can understand what you are trying to say. The thing is mighty nein didn't have a ticking bomb like bells hells do. Bells hells characters stories are way interconnected to each other than mighty nein so exploring it as a whole makes sense.also mighty nein were together in game for at least close to a year . Bells only a few months Matt tried to create a main overarching threat from the beginning of the campaign(I also read there were a lot of people not liking the story telling of mighty nein either because it was scattered or there were arcs). Although I found it kinda slow at the beginning i really like where we are now My favourite party is still mighty nein though , the way they bounced off each other was *chef's kiss*. vox machina we didn't get to see much character growth since they were already kind of a family but mighty nein we got to see them becoming a family. Bells hells i don't get family vibes.

[@dannybob42]

@@HoeJo-j2m I think in a way the difference is that the Nein were able to effectively pursue their own goals but also along the way got what they _needed_ which allowed them to be better and move forward, the Hells haven't all gotten that catharsis yet and there are some mysteries that still tug at them for answers. I would say Laudna is perhaps BH's only fully realised character, FCG perhaps realised himself in death but it was more via the tragedy of sacrifice than character completion. Orym and Imogen's arcs definitely hinge on the final battle, Braius' may hinge on the aftermath, but the others they're kinda in limbo because while they have goals there's no time to pursue it in the grand scheme of things and what they're pursuing isn't promised to give them the catharsis they need
