3:30:36 fun fact from cool down, that exchange between Travis and Abu is likely because they literally had dinner the night before and Abu was basically like “Yeah I’m just hanging out around Cali for a bit, nothing much going on 😗”

fun story from the cooldown - matt planned abu's appearance over a long, long distance phone call which resulted in a large bill that marisha saw. she said she instantly went to 'who the fuck is this?!?' so they basically lived the 'he must be cheating on me' meme cuz matt was just planning a DnD sesh with his buddy Abu XD

Man, the Matron better go to Laudna with benevolent intentions that don’t involve her dying or suffering the same fate as Vax. Laudna did not pass through self-worth conflicts, forced body possessions and Exandrian Azula all to break free of being a slave and finally wanting to live with Imogen…just to be taken away from her and made someone’s slave all over again. I’m genuinely frightened for Laudna’s safety now that the Raven Queen officially has her sights on her. She deserves nothing more than a happy ending with Imogen after everything she’s been through.

I also hope the Matron looks kindly on Laudna. Also, i personally hope the Matron lambasts the Arch heart for basically trying to abandon Exandria. I agree that children need room to grow, but as a parent myself, you don't just run out on your kids because things get crazy difficult. A true loving parent finds a way to make it work without abandoning their kids to the whims of the world. The Wildmother understands that they're too tightly linked to Exandria to just abandon it.

She spiked the stuffed animal and then did the d generation x thing of telling everyone to suck it. Awesome!

[@TheLastDarkOne]

The flashbacks Travis experienced as he shook his head. Bad times for him lol.

Thank you, Laura! 3:00:15 "Just tell us...!"

[@CheeseWyrm]

I LOVE CR, & each of the players in their own inimitable uniquenesses .... but gee Taliesin does frustrate me sometimes with his futzing around!

[@Mightymajin]

Am I the only one who was completely confused about what the party's plan was for the fight against Zethuda?

[@zoerudy8802]

@@Mightymajin bold of you to assume there was a plan

2:58:00 SPOILERS Matt’s face because he knows Abu is listening to Sam smash the archeart head

I love the Arch Heart SO MUCH, he too chill for a god

WE PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS ON MONDAY NIIITE

[@dmitrysturgeon2823]

We now have an actual god saying the words “you are made of us” so I think Imogens fear of Prodathos of eating the people is not far off!!!

[@HPFireYT]

Spoilers for the last hour . . . . . I love the portrayal of the Arch Heart so much. They really are a wild entity of so much power with this huge curiosity of what could be.

[@BadtimeBard]

I think Robbie took the interaction with Braius and Nana to heart because cute lil blue boy is not sitting at that table this episode 😂

[@kylebernard7755]

first, props to Abu, he is amazing. I watched this live and rewatching did not lose a shred of impact. The thread that runs through the entire campaign is the possibility of betrayal, With the exception of Dorian and Orym, all of the PCS have turned on the group to some degree or another, Now the greatest possibly betrayal is offered. The Arch Heart, he who gave uncontrolled magic to the world wants to run and abandon the children of the gods, leaving behind Wizards and Mages the only magic users. Holy smokes, no way that can possibly go wrong. There are a lot of paths where Bell's Hell's become the villains for the rest of history, however long that may be. For the most part Bell's Hell's have made the Mighty Nein look like a church choir, choose wisely folks.

So kind of Gloamglut to stand in for Marisha while she’s busy 😂

[@dannysanchez9140]

Post-episode: I would accept nothing less than the Poem to kill a God from the blessed Matron, she better be the second. If it’s not the Law Bearer.

[@quis778]

But just how did none of them ask a literal god, the only one who would know, what predathos actually even is ?

[@guyfromdubai]

*spoiler When Abu started talking about the shape of the Lord of Lies in thw stars, I was totally expecting to see Brennan come up behind him. Still an amazing performance

[@sebastianevangelista4921]

I suspect that Asmodeus will be the final boss of this campaign and I fully anticipate Brennan returning when that occurs.

[@christinasingh997]

I'm split, but I don't think that they should risk taking in Predathos. It'll make them targets, but I think it'll be worse than Delilah's control. She's nothing compared to that thing. On another note, I really feel iffy about Ludinus and absorbing capability, however that goes. As in he will absorb the 'vessel', before or after they take in Predathos. I'm so unsure. It's crazy whichever direction this could go.

[@Dunendil]

I'm probably biased but Sam's crazy, no one can top Matt's voice, not even Abu. Sure, Corellon's voice sounds like thunder on a rainy spring morning, but Matt's sounds like sunshine through your childhood bedroom's window.

[@stephenwmsmith]

Marisha got the Mike Wazowski treatment during the starting battle.

[@Shunnimi]

You know it's serious game when they are talking about "he may or may not go through that hole" and Laura doesn't laugh

[@sebastianevangelista4921]

Good point

[@weepdalek]

Just did some maths. Ludinus has between 298 - 344 hp.

[@seeker38]

You get to be a chonky Wizard if you keep eating magical items.
