eisfuura, bard and fighter?

Eisfuura: Who is your favorite NPC?

Appropriately enough (since this is a bird question) it’s Kiri!! She is one of my top favorite characters in the whole M9 campaign. I really hope we get to find out in C3 what she’s up to these days and I can’t wait to see her in the M9 animated series. (Also I’m glad we’ll get to see her goodbye to Jester animated because I can’t believe they parted ways with her while Laura wasn’t there! I understand why they did it, it would have been too dangerous for her where they were going, but I’m sad that Laura wasn’t there to RP Jester in that moment.)

Bard: What is your favorite “how do you want to do this?”

Ooh okay. I don’t know if it’s my favorite but the one most burned on my mind is Imogen lightning bolting Evil Sun Tree in Darkstone because that was the end of a MERCILESSLY INTENSE fight to determine whether my favorite character of all time was going to be allowed back in the game. And it was SUPER CLOSE, she was barely alive and only survived because she had to spend her last Mote of Possibility (which she was probably saving for Laudna’s resurrection ritual) to make Delilah reroll her last attack on her.

Also there was some really nice symbolism there because she opened the fight with the words “Delilah Briarwood, we’re gonna sunder you.” You know, like lightning does to a tree. And that was what she did in the end, with all the love and fury in her soul.

Fighter: What was your favorite funny moment?

Oh no there are too many individual moments to choose so this is more like “funniest running gag” even though most of the scenes involved with it are actually traumatic but is endlessly hilarious to me though how much of a ruckus Bells Hells cause whenever they go to Whitestone. Especially from Percy’s point of view. They barge into his office at 7am with a dead body demanding he bring it back to life, unwrap it to reveal what at first appears to be the corpse of his wife before he realizes that no it’s actually it’s the anonymous girl whose murder has been haunting her for 30 years why do they even have this?? also HOW is she somehow inhabited by the spirit of his worst nemesis? Against his protests they bring her back to life (?? this part is debatable) and she in turn immediately resurrects a dead rat which she insists is a long-lost relative of his, and then makes him hug a tree. They refuse his offers of hospitality but steal a bunch of linens from the castle and sleep outside in the main square. They leave. They come back and inform him they need to go to the moon. They break into a room in the castle that he has specifically sealed off and invoke the spirit of his worst nemesis IN HIS HOUSE. They destroy an armoire to make a sled and break all the castle windows with rocks. Before they leave for the moon one of them turns himself into a living bomb and detonates right underneath the thing that is the living heart of his city. Also, they picked a fight with a blameless crepe vendor in the street.

BH, why are you like this. (Don't ever change.)

Also something about the contrast between how Laudna is perceived by the de Rolos when she's dead -- she's this object of pathos, a symbol of the guilt and trauma of a horrible thing that happened 30 years ago that they feel both responsible for and a victim of, and can never fully atone for -- and when she's revived like oh she's not just a dead doll that looks like Vex there's a whole personality there and it's bonkers and delightful and she has a pet dead rat and friends who love her so much they crossed continents to bring her back to life -- is so good. (Not necessarily funny just really good.)

How about wizard: what's your favorite party name?

That's really hard! I think probably The Menagerie! It works so well with the wild collection of inhuman characters. Itvalso fits the sort of, here's what we have on display nature of their first daggerheart game.

Howdy Astoria! :) For the ask game, aasimar and sorcerer!

Hi!

Aasimar: that's really hard there are such cool places. I love Nicodranas and Jrusar equally. Jrusar has such a cool infrastructure with everything being built into the mountains and all the gondolas linking the peaks. I really hope the Hells get back there. And Nicodranas is a really cute seaside city, not huge, with a massive lighthouse that looks like the wildmother. I want to visit both!

Sorcerer: Sam's ongoing bit where he was turning into a sunflower absolutely killed me. "Some bits are just for you." Incredible. He's amazing.

Satyr, Dragonborn, and genasi for the critrole ask meme!

Satyr: A friend showed me a very cute fan comic of Jester in the early days of C2 and told me I'd love her. They were right!

Dragonborn: I answered over here

Genasi: It's Laudna, to no one's surprise. I loved her from minute one, and my love has only grown as I've seen her evolve through the campaign. I love a spooky weirdo. Especially a spooky weirdo with a heart of gold buried under a pile of gore.

For the Critical role ask meme: Dragonborn, goblin, and bard

Dragonborn: I started watching when C2 had about twenty or so episodes and I watched pretty regularly until about the pirate arc, then got back in for Veth's arc, dipped again, and then when C3 started I have watched every episode every week. My work schedule was bonkers during C2. Schedule is still erratic tbh, but C3 has all my favorite characters, so I don't want to miss anything.

Goblin: Non main campaign character like, sidequest stuff? Okay this has got to be a toss up between Arlo Black from Candela Obscura or Hazel Copperpot from Darrington Brigade. Arlo is so weird and I love how blase she is with a nightmare world, and Hazel Copperpot is hilarious. The newscaster bard is such a fun idea and the performance was flawless. I want more Darrington Brigade.

Bard: favorite How Do You Want to Do This is hard because I get so stressed during fights that all of them blur into a "oh thank god that's over" so I barely remember the specifics. With that in mind, I think probably the Uk'otoa two shot had a great one. The mass heal cast through Jester's duplicates already felt like such a victory that I could really revel in the full team getting their shots in, with Fjord ending it and reaffirming his allegiance to the wildmother with that baddass one liner.
