Reminder that, this door traumatized Vox Machina so much that when they opened a door without issue in Grog's Bunions and Flagons, they were flabbergasted that a door could just open, not be locked or trapped.

[@ChargerBulldogs19]

I loved Liam/Vax’s response to that- “this is a utopia!”

[@madisonperry7447]

In late campaign when they were in the realm of Sarenrae and Pelor, as they approached the entrance to Pelor’s home the doors just opened on their own. One of them ( I think Liam) said “wow this really is heaven, the doors just open!”

[@theflyingwelshman5338]

There was one point where Percy opens a door with no effort, only to be met with pitch black on the other side. When Grog teasingly asked “What do you see, Percy?” Percy responds with “I see a door that I have conquered.”

[@georgerobins4110]

Reminds me of something that happened in a campaign I was in We were, like, so damn sus of this door and kept rolling all sorts of rolls (and failing them lmfao) until one of us just decided to use a fire spell to knock the damn thing down The narration of the DM went as follows: “As the door smoulders and falls off its hinges… you notice it was unlocked” Not a single one of us thought to try to just… open it 😂

[@MrNickster115]

I love how disappointed Percy was when he fell out too. He was already like “Ok I got this” then the universe humbles him

[@keeperofthefate]

Not stupid. Sometimes you roll crit fails. I still remember my first character from Warhammer Fantasy Role Play first ed. Elven war dancer with fighting skill of 90. That meant, if I rolled below 91 on 1d100 i would score a hit. In theory my guy could always land a damage in melee combat. But I always got 1/3 fails and had a lot of double-o's (100), which meant I had critical failures.

[@JaxiPaxified]

@@keeperofthefate By that logic, you would need a fighting skill of 1 to theoreticly always hit ;) (sorry I'm really just nitpicking.) Sounds like you got really unlucky! I had a halfling rouge (known to be lucky) that I nicknamed "The Unlucky," as I rarely rolled over a 10 on the d20 with him.

They picked it and found a very short hall and a locked door - they picked it - finding a very short hall and a locked door. This happened thirteen times.

Thanks AQ! You know these connections to the campaign so well! Your recall and talent with video creation is truly a gift to us all. I suspect these correlation videos are bound to draw new batches of Critters into the fold, mainly from the LOVM series' new fans. And, as an OG Critter, I marvel anew at the improvisational genius of the CR cast. It's really no mystery why we're all fans!

Looking up "Thunderwave"... if he had stood below the door's bar at a slight angle, 'All unsecured objects are automatically blown 10 feet away from the caster'. So the bar would have flown out of its hooks, and they could have opened the door. :D

That proclamation "I fell out of the window" got me so hard I almost peed myself.

[@thegriffin88]

I was so happy they included this. I was laughing so hard about it and nobody around me knew why because they didn't watch the show.

Vecna's big mistake was not putting enough doors in hos tower

[@charles-co2vh]

This just makes me wanna start a game with players locked behind a door like this lol

[@vigilantcorgi2901]

its amazing that after all these years.... they still dont know how to open doors

[@ellemars1817]

The boing sound as Scanlan's foot disappears. 😂 And I wonder what Orthax was thinking of Percy at that moment lol

[@amandawray08]

Thanks, ArseQueef! These are great!

[@hkazu63]

I must say, “thanks ArseQueef” is not something I expected to see today, but the sentiments I agree with.

[@MangoLeaf9103]

Thumbnail is too perfect!! I need to see this from the start

5:15 the absolute DESPAIR Matt displays realizing that they are still yet to get through just the door of this part is purely amazing and then later the speed at which he perks up and goes "how do you wanna do this" shows how done he was and just wanted them to succeed at that point

[@benvoliothefirst]

These clips do such a great job of showcasing how much Neal Acree's score adds to the whole feeling.

[@rocklee775]

I really wish that first bit had made it into the show but i love that they kept the same spirit either way.

[@ThisIsMego]

I fucking LOVE that they put the "Vox Machina bested by doors" meme in there.

I'm crying. They need more seasons.

I honestly can understand having a door beat you, a couple years ago, I was playing Grey Wolf in my church and I was turning a corner running at a decent speed and hit the corner of a door that had been left open. I bent my glasses and cut the top of my eyelid under the brow and had to get it glued closed. For the next month, I would randomly bump into doors or get hit by people opening them.
