This is a thing that many-a-person has said, but I love the development of Ashton into a bit of an unwanted heart of the party. He is surrounded by some of the most presumably positive and/or grounded people, Laudna, Orym, FCG.

And yet, there is nothing more inspirational than reformation.

There is nothing more inspirational then a person who thinks that they are a scrape of the bottom of the barrel telling you that they and thusly yourself can be better, can do something, stand for something.

There is nothing more inspirational than a broken person telling you that brokenness does not mean an end to good.

And there is nothing more beautiful than scars.

[big-moon-little-moon]

a list of people (and non-people) who know Imogen and Laudna are dating as of episode 72 (two months after the kiss)

Chetney

Paté de Rolo, Laudna's dead rat familiar

Ulli, a skysailing instructor from Zephrah

Deanna, because she has absolutely scryed on them and put two and two together

F.R.I.D.A., because Deanna was very excited and told them

Zhudanna, because she thought they were a couple this whole time

Bruda, a cursed pirate skeleton lady with a gambling problem

#any day now the rest of bell's hells will find out #any day! #prism is not on the list because she probably also scryed on them but just thought #'hmm this doesn't look very sisterly to me. marquet's family relationships sure look different than where i'm from! interesting!' #the skeleton lady is the first person imogen told too #which is just peak imogen #10/10 no notes #bells hells #c3e72 #cr spoilers #critical role spoilers #imodna #southern gothic #cr campaign 3 #cr laudna #cr imogen #imogen temult #i know in game not much time has passed but it's still funny to me

Okay but Robbie and Anjali being on Candela Obscura is NOT helping the theory that Dorian and Fy'ra Rai will make appearances back on Critical Role with Ashton, Laudna and Orym

#this is all very much speculation but I find it so suspicious #that two of the biggest people who played the biggest role in EXU prime are back at the same time that Team Marquet needs three guests #critical role campaign 3 spoilers #critical role spoilers #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #critical role #orym of the air ashari #imogen temult #anjali bhimani #robbie daymond #fyra rai #dorian storm #cr laudna #FCG #fcg critical role #bells hells #candela obscura

Ok, I’ve sat on this for too long…

We’ve got Team Wildemount who we’ve been following for the last few weeks, and I know everyone (including myself) is anxious to know what’s become of Ashton, Laudna, and Orym. First thing, I think the extended stay with Team Wildemount is partly due to Christian and Aabriya’s schedules, but also because of Creator Clash. We may be hopping over to (what people have been calling) Team Marquet soon, now that the pre-recorded episodes have caught up post-Creator Clash, but we’ll see. And that brings me to my second and main point:

I don’t think they’re in Marquet.

I think they’re in Tal’Dorei, specifically at the Pools of Wittebak. Check out Matt’s description of where Team No Healers ended up at the end of episode 51:

“you see yourself kind of sitting on the edge of a rocky cliff almost. The smell that hits your nostrils is kind of sulfurous and acrid, acidic almost... and you look around you and there are these pools of strange colored liquid… you both see this almost chasm like space below you. You can see these little bits of natural geysers kind of *poof poof poof poof* poofing steamy water… as you scan the horizon, in some distance you see, just above the cloud line, the red moon Ruidus standing, and a singular red beam that just vanishes below some far off mountain line… you are in some sort of odd valley-like chasm.”

Now check out the Pools of Wittebak page in the Critical Role Wiki:

“The Pools of Wittebak are located in the Cliffkeep Mountains, between 100 and 120 miles east of Terrah… The pools are a series of large, mineral-rich geothermic puddles across the mountainside…”

So I’m not saying… I’m just saying…Geothermic puddles… near (ish) Terrah, where spooky Earth Elemental Plane portal stuff is apparently happening. And may perhaps be related to a certain Punk Rock’s backstory…

“otohana found dead in kreviris” it was always funniest as a hate sex situation! just a displaced religious fanatic and the soon-to-be vessel of their antigod (who thinks they’re an unstable sadist but also the closest person who understands what it’s like to be hopped up on psychic moonjuice). evil old geezer snaps and tries to kill their spitedriven work situationship’s twenty eight year old daughter the minute her friends constitute a real threat, gets smoked by a tiny robot. decade long recurring stress-hookup does not care one bit.

Actually loving how the different critical role campaigns exist in relation to themselves, each other, and the world at large, and how their different narrative structures ripple outward.

Campaign 1 was story driven. Not to say the characters weren’t deeply important and dynamic, but their growths were largely driven through and by the plot. They were on a mission and grew along with that mission, and as a mission driven archetypically heroic party they also left very few loose threads by the end.

Campaign 2, meanwhile, was more insular and character driven. Where Vox Machina traveled all over the world and planes outside the main setting of Tal'Dorei, the Mighty Nein largely stayed in Wildemount, allowing for a more intimate and political look at it’s cultures. Instead of story and characters revolving around plot, plot revolves around character. We only got to see Yasha’s tribe in the epilogue, because her growth didn’t require facing them. We didn’t face Uk’otoa, because Fjord’s arc culminated in embracing the Wildmother, not in facing his former patron. Similarly, while the entire Assembly was an antagonistic force, only Trent was dealt with directly, because he was the only one directly tied into one of the pc's arcs.

The larger world building let us know about Molaesmyr and Ludinus, about the Luxon, even about Ruidus to some extent, but the Mighty Nein weren’t a typically heroic party here to save the world and solve every mystery, but a group of broken people finding it in themselves to heal, and to end their journey ready to face greater threats in the future. They were still getting the Assembly and Uk'toa, they just weren’t doing it in the main narrative, because they were irrelevant to the growth of the characters. Of course, that also left a lot of threads hanging, which brings us to campaign 3.

By now, it seems pretty clear that campaign 3 is another plot driven story rather than the more meandering, character driven narrative of c2. That leaves the cast free to pick up on the many larger mysteries in world building left in the wake of the last campaign. What is the nature of the Luxon? Of Ruidus? Of Aeor and the aeormatons? Half the party was just plopped down not far from the ruins of Molaesmyr, Ludinus' former home - will they go there? One of them is tied to the Luxon and dunamancy, another to Ruidus and Predathos - will we get to know the true nature of these entities?

Much like c1, the characters of this campaign are driven and shaped by events rather than shaping their own events. The difference is, c1 began as a blank slate, whereas c3 has history. Powerful allies and enemies alike are tied to former campaigns because such is the nature of the world. Mysteries left to solve were introduced earlier but approached only now because this is a campaign whose narrative and characters are served by approaching them. The world is dynamic. Alive. One story merges into the next, and new heroes are born on the shoulders of the last, ready to be shaped by their own narrative.

#critical role meta #critical role #cr3 #cr2 #cr1 #you know the drill time to go insane about narratives again #any of these plot threads could have been pursued in campaign 2! #most of them - the luxon‚ ruidus‚ ludinus‚ even molaesmyr (if they go there) - had plot hooks! #story wise it would have made sense to go there #but character wise it would not‚ and c2 was a narrative all about character #its been said before but every mission they took on after mollys death was about character #going to the ocean for fjord and xhoras for veth #saving the empire for beau and caleb #facing obann for yasha #fixing the grove for cad and hosting travelercon for jester #facing lucien - and saving the world - for the friend they lost and who shaped all of them #were their party more like vm it's likely they would’ve taken the plot hook of the war #There’s also a whole post i want to write about the nature of c1 vs c3 #and the fandom idea that c3 isn't centered on marquet enough #when i feel they are about the same in terms of travelling to and invoving other places #c3 just happens to come off the back of the much more insular c2 and as such the difference is very stark #anyway. put a pin in that. maybe i'll write it later #nella talks

Meant to post this a while back but anyway I made some outfits for Rodika~

In order left to right top to bottom it's: campaign outfit, training, modern, pre-campaign casual monastery outfit, full monastery outfit, and casual lounging.

Also the purple quarterstaff was her original one, but got replaced a couple sessions ago after the party's fighter/smith made her a cool new magic one out of gloomstalker bone ^-^

#My art #DnD #Dungeons and Dragons #Drow #OCs #Rodika #I feel like I should update her outfit now that we've made it to Marquet and are halfway through the module #But I barely draw her anyway so it doesn't feel earned yet yk? #I'll probably change her shoes tho to the ones in her pre-campaign looks because those look way better #Call of the Netherdeep

My wish has always been for Dorian to come back asking for help in the Silken Squall, and the solstice provides a perfect opportunity for that

#cr3 #dorian storm #PLEASE #i want to see the silken squall so bad #Dorian realizes communication is down and magic is weird #he and Cyrus get worried about home #they realize they either need help getting there or something bad has already happened they want backup for #the crown keepers have something going on with Opal rn and can't help. and their home hovers around Marquet #so of course they go to jrusar to settle cyrus's debt and find word of bh #possibly they find someone who can scry and show them where the group is #otherwise they may wait in jrusar until the group comes back or they find a way to contact them #then we get an entire silken squall arc #dorian gets to come back for a while and have closure on his arc in the main campaign

I adore how every member of Bell’s Hells can be described as monstrous in appearance, they truly are hellish.

Laudna and her form of dread. A tall, spindly, and unnaturally flexible and twisted body, adorned with either a mantle of branches, or a mourning veil dependent on how much she lets the dark necromancer inside of her take control.

Chetney and his grisly transformations. Losing control in both the bright, and red moons alike, skin ripping replaced by fur, and strangely stretched bones twisting until they form something far more animal than human.

Imogen and her scars. Although ever present, the unnatural light brightest when she casts magic, and her loss of control results in mass destruction. A rising figure barely contained by flesh, ripping reality, with eyes and scars aglow. Red and purple.

Fearne and her fey monstrosity. When she’s in the fey wilde, her pupils stretch themselves into goat-like rectangles, and she gets ever-so furrier, hair longer, and scragglier, sharper edges than before. And in case you ever forget about her form there, she has a claw like hand to curl around your throat to remind you while you're encased in her flame.

Ashton and his head. A hole in a person’s head allowing you to see through their skull, and skin decorated with gold, showing you the lines where their body fell apart. When they prepare to attack, through the glass shines various lights indicating precisely how they will decimate you. What’s worse, they were soft once. Can you imagine the slow spread of stone over flesh? Inhuman.

FCG and their eyes. When a switch is flipped, his eyes go from a nice, pleasant blue, to a murderous red. An amicable personality turned sour. The scariest part? It’s a design feature; not bug.

Throughout this post, you were likely wondering about Orym, who’s kinda just a guy. A halfling man with a history of loss, attempting to do good.

But we’ve all heard the poem, haven’t we?

“Demons run when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun, when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies, night will fall and the dark will rise, when a good man goes to war.“

why didnt they just........ set the fucking campaign in tal’dorei if they so clearly wanted to go back so badly

#genuinely idk why matt is surprised by any of this this seemed inevitable since orym existed as a character #since laudna existed as a character #i dont think pc ties to past campaigns are inherently bad #and i think from a player perspective it makes a lot of sense that they want to revisit those consequences and that world #but it feels like it does an immense disservice to marquet as a campaign setting #esp again as so many ppl have said already bc almost all of the pcs are visitors/lack strong personal ties here #which THEN furthers the sense that these are white tourists visiting Exotic MENA Place #on an abstract level i dont mind them going to kiki but in this campaign in this setting it threatens the integrity of the entire thing #cr discourse

[crittique]

at this point im starting to think more and more that this campaign is matts revenge on players for not remembering exandria had two moons
