There's a Bad Moon on the Rise | Critical Role C3E11 Highlights & Funny Moments

If I had a nickel for every time a mysterious antagonist that the gang was fighting suddenly recognized Ashley’s character mid fight while she had no knowledge of them I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I want a Chetney apron where it's like a full frontal shot of Chetney's body with the hammer and chisel tastefully cover his junk. And it should totally say "The Woodshop's Open"

[@fratguide9835]

I love Robbie, he reacts to however the rest of the cast acts like "Wow so neat, yall're zany, I'm so happy to be here" He easily sips his water while Travis describes Chetney stripping. He's also adorable.

[@robinmatz6686]

Or how he mouthed "Defying Gravity" when Laudna fired that nat20 EB

[@alvintollah]

Probably the most hype episode so far. I mean, I'm sure like a lot of other people, I had suspicions of Travis and his class, considering the high STR. But still, the reveal and its description by Travis is sooo good. Especially when his voice goes deep. Love it! Also love the compilation, dude! 😁👍

I'm thinking she's going to be a hag, what with the whole "grandma" thing

[@202215jaffe521]

From Fearne stat I am think Fearne could be multi-class to a warlock with her grandma (hag or Archfey) as her patron. And I guess her family is sort of a royal family in feywild?

[@Thiccremoch162]

@@202215jaffe521 Laura could do that, but they already have a class crossover with Laudna and Imogen so idk if they would do that. Plus warlock is one of those classes where they differ a lot when In terms of flavor and themes, but not so much mechanically, so I don’t know if Matt would vibe with two Eldritch blast canons in the same party. That being said, Fearne warlock with her grandma as a patron would be awesome and I’d love to see it happen, Idk if it’s likely though

[@georgebeswick7549]

Either that or a hag like someone else has said hear. But I'm putting my money on Arch Fey

[@202215jaffe521]

@@Thiccremoch162 The reason for me to think Ashley might try to multi-class is under Exandria setting, only Ashley did not play multi class character (Taliesin played Owlbear in Darrington Brigade and Marisha is playing one right now). So might be?

The fact that Robbie is consistently able to drink anything while Travis is talking is a godsdamned miracle, that'd be playing with fire for me I'd be too worried about doing a spittake every five seconds

[@garrettcarter5622]

Well, I guess we can finally quell our fears that Chetney was yet another fake-out character doomed to die before Travis' real character showed up. Now that he's finally a werewolf, there is NO WAY Travis is letting this character die without a fight.

[@alexanderburke2973]

Man, if this was at a live show, the audience would've blown the flipping roof off at the reveal.

[@PeTTs0n88]

Yeah, everyone can be clever and say they saw it coming (easy to be clever with the power of hindsight), but that would've completely shattered any venue they would be at. ^^

[@kl-1447]

And even though several people had predicted it (to the point is almost ended up a meme) it still was an epic reveal

[@Hexen_Wulf]

@@PeTTs0n88 I had no idea. I suspected he may not be a rogue, or that he may be more than he appeared to be, I would never have guessed he's a fucking werewolf bloodhunter. In hindsight, like you said, it explains so fucking much, but at the time I was blown away.

[@PeTTs0n88]

@@Hexen_Wulf Yeah same here, I did react on the slightly weird stat distribution with high STR but didn't think too much of it. Suspicions that Travis had something up his sleeve? Sure, but this? Nope, I loved the reveal. ^^ And I dislike speculating *too* much too, it kinda ruins the fun of the moment. :)

[@PeTTs0n88]

Awwww nice, I didn't catch the Travis and Ashley simultaneously going "damn it" after the "does he have clothes on?" 😅 top notch compilation as usual! And this was a hell of an episode - was sitting Marisha style on my chair throughout almost the whole damn thing! ^^ Aside from these highlights, the "porn" (Matt slipped) in the book (in the end when Imogen was searching the library) was great too.

When Nightmare King smells the air and says: “Calloway” I would not have been surprised if Ashley had said: “you like? it is Calloway N°5 Eau De Parfum”. Also, can somebody tell them to hoard every heal potion in the city? I don’t think the universe will give them natural 20s like it is Ophra’s show again.

I'm disappointed Sam didn't try to jokingly attack Travis as a turtle. 🤣

[@Hexen_Wulf]

Okay, I just had a realization. I think Laura and Matt based her character on the book The Girl With The Silver Eyes. It's a girl with psychic abilities who runs away from home, and finds out later that she got her powers from her mother, who was taking an experimental pregnancy supplement before she was born. She later goes on to find other kids like her, and they basically save the day. I forget how.

Rewatching the Tuya scene, knowing it's not just a one off bit but that Chetney goes back, makes it 20x more delightful, and it was ready great. Edit: NOT ONLY does Chetney go back, but Tuya hires someone to take him out. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite unimportant subplots.

man i'd love to have subtitles for some of the really quiet scenes like 11:05 especially when they talk over each other and with matt in the background it's super hard to understand

[@marisharaygun]

i totally get that. i would put subtitles if i was 100% sure of what they were saying, but with moments like that i’m not always fully sure, and i’d hate to caption it incorrectly. but the gist of that moment seems to be that laura is trying to tell robbie that if things start going badly he should hit fcg so he takes damage in polymorph and comes back to his robot form, but sam makes a joke about how robbie should just run away and i don’t think he actually ends up understanding what laura was trying to tell him lol. then marisha and sam mime throwing turtle fcg like a frisbee

Matt made a good play, if they can't think their way out of it, then it should stay. Although in fairness he is new to DnD so maybe he doesn't know that polymorph can be undone with enough physical damage.

@@mayaenglish5424 i see what you're saying, but i definitely think it was less her trying to explicitly tell him what to do and more her trying to explain to him that turtle fcg could be turned back into robot fcg if needed, as i'm assuming robbie does not know that's how polymorph functions

[@mayaenglish5424]

@@marisharaygun True, that's why I added my caveat at the end. But also why would Dorian or Imogen know that about polymorph either?
