Yes, last Candela Obscura ep coming SOON ... but I heard it's only the FIRST story, apparently there are more on the way?

Oh sweet, Daggerheart? Cool. Can't wait ...

And so we begin. Again. And I'm like STUPID excited about this one ...

Yay! Zephrah! Sweet! I've missed this place ...

And yes, Orym is home ... I'm so happy for our boy ... super nostalgia for him ...

Wow, that's a SHIT roll for Chetney's sense of smell, Travis ...

Strength Save? Already? Gah ... roll good, guys ...

It fucken wimdy ... and now we're losing THREE OF OUR PEOPLE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Oh, so it's just a welcoming committee? Sort of?

Yes! Hello Orym, yes, he's a welcome defuser of tension, definitely.

Maeve? Half-elf? Wait ... HIS SISTER?!!! Really? Awesome! Awwwww ... hello, cutie! :3

Take forms? Oh, so she's a druid? Cool! I mean yeah, of course she is, but still ... COOL!!!

There's a Nexus close? Crap ...

Whoa ... Maeve was AT THE BATTLE!!! Okay then ... and now it's all fucken CRAZY ... yeah, it would be ...

No communication with Whitestone? Crap ... but not unexpected ... and folk got scattered? Again, not a surprise ...

YOUR mom ... oh, so she was WILL's sister ... yeah, I get it. But slso awwww ...

No, I'm ahead of you, FCG. They're IN-LAWS.

Yeah, he was in love, very much ... and my heart's breaking all over again just remembering ...

Matt once again reminding us that Zephrah is one of the most beautiful places in all of Exandria ...

Maeve (regarding Laudna): "Is that her? She looks cooler than I thought." Awwwww ... :3

More reunions ... yeah ... awkward ... but yeah, hello Leeta ...

Red dragon? Thordak, yeah ... cool ... Nice trip down Campaign 1 memory lane ...

KEYLETH!!! Yay!

FCG tries to bow and just faceplants cuz he ain't got knees ...

Ouch ... that's gotta hurt ... that looks NASTY ...

Oh yeah! THE Staff! Nice!

Yup, just as we thought, it's that nasty shit poison again ... a remedy? Blue Perennium flower? Oh boy ... no, not LIKE THAT!!! Matt is irritated by the smutty jokes that now ensue and I don't blame him ... oh, how many PCs is he gonna kill for this? XD

So this COULD heal her? Oh yes ... so ... quest time again, maybe?

It grows in places marked by strife? Hmmmm ...

So there are THREE others hurt like her? Two dozen more dead? Ouch ...

The last thing SHE saw ... yeah, OF COURSE it was Vax ... this is gonna be hurting her WAY worse than her wounds ...

The white light? Hmmm ... so what, Illianna might have sent them all away to SAVE THEM? Interesting ...

Ah yes ... so here we go ... revealing Imogen's connection indeed ... Keyleth: "But you're here to help?" Oh yes ...

So the Ruby Vanguard are OPENLY recruiting now? That can't be good ...

Orym: "I've been struggling with the blood in my eye for weeks now. I've never been so fucking angry!" Oof ...

Keyleth: "Sometimes it's just what you need, so don't let go of that anger. Learn how to use it."

Orym: "I promise you I'll give you every last breath to make this right."

Keyleth: "Together we'll rain the fury of every power in Exandria down on these ... shitheads."

Get hold of the toxin, reverse engineer an antidote? Smart, Chetney, smart.

Yeah, Keyleth never really had that much to do with the gods, generally.

"The Ascension and the Sealing". Oh yeah ... so cool ...

Letting the Voice of the Tempest rest, then ...

Laudna: "We dropped the airship." Leeta: "That was you? That was GREAT!!!" Yeah ... :3

Ah yes, finding out what happened after they all got shunted away at last ...

27 ... Whispers! Yay! What's Leeta hiding, Fearne?

Wait, MOLES? Really? Like another Bor'Dor situation? Hmmmm ...

Thollo? Okay ...

The Scattered War of Gwessar? Intriguing ... so the Grey Valley is ... a creepy, fucked up place ... sounds about right. And apparently this is the SAFEST place for them go look for the flower? Ye gods ...

Liam: "We all know what you WANT to hear, Travis Willingham." XD

The Hishari helmet? Intriguing ... oh, here we go, then ... so Ashton COULD finally get some answers after this? Cool ...

So, going to meet Orym's mum ... sweet ...

Home sweet home! Cottagecore? Cute! :3

Awwwwwwwww ... she's the sweetest mum ever, hi Alma! Oh yeah, she DOES know Fearne already. And she's definitely fascinated by FCG ...

Oh yeah, Laudna does love her some biscuits ...

Oh, intriguing, the possibility that Chetney might hit on Alma ... XD

Such a lovely cosy place, I love it ...

Muffins? Really? Cool ...

No stealing stuff, Fearne. "I would never steal from a mother." Okay then ...

Yum! Freshly baked goodies! Yay!

Alma: "I worry about you, Orym. You carry a lot of weight on your face."

Whoa ... the Ashari have means to delay births to prevent babies from becoming Ruidusborn? Intriguing ...

Alma:"Just don't be a hero if you don't have to." Orym: "I just do what I have to, mom."

So Orym was a truly TINY baby? I mean OF COURSE he would have been ... awwww, the cavalcade of baby memento-based embarrassment for Orym, I love it ... XD

Recipes to go for FCG? Adorable ...

Chetney's carved a little wooden Orym for her? That's so cute ... is this Chet flirting? Wait ... Orym ACTUALLY HAD C-POP toys when he was little? Oh my gods ...

Orym: "Did you invent Optimus Prime?" Chetney: "I killed him, too." LOL

FCG trying to work out if Orym looks a little like Chetney ... 4 perception roll? Yeah ...

To Torth's shop for fresh armour, now ...

Sage and herbs in the metal AS IT'S BEING TEMPERED?!!! Intriguing ...

Old Fanny Z? Hmmmm ...

Oh, this place looks FASCINATING ... oh, and Fanny is too ... wow ... oh yeah, she is just FABULOUS, definitely ... XD

Fanny: "Anti-hero chic?" Oh yes ... that's perfect Ashton, definitely ...

Marisha: "Whitestone's for lovers, Zephrah's for fuckers." LOL

Meanwhile Laudna's flying Pate on a string like a kite. Pate: "Hey, there's a big hawk up here, circling! I think he wants to be friends!" O.O

Big-ass backpack? Okay ... so they need to fill THIS with the flowers ...

Oh boy ... a shit ton of healing potions ... NEVER a good sign of things to come ...

Whoa ... so Orym's fighting style is like THE regimental style of Zephrah? That's so cool ...

Maeve can do the tree portal thing too? That's so cool!

Matt: "And we're gonna go to break!"

Oh, so they're actually Blue Perennum flowers? Ah ... so basically Matt dug his own grave there ...

Liam: "I'm just glad we don't have to find some Taintweed." Snort ...

Always nice to get to see a pair of Jesters drawing little cartoon dicks in the air ... XD

Back to the game ... and the Grey Valley ... hmmmmm ...

The smell of ash and BURNED FAT?!!! That's not, like, foreboding at all ...

The whole place is COMPLETELY monochrome ... fascinating ... in a really creepy way ...

Perception check for blue flowers ... 30? Fucking hell Orym ... no joy, though. Not here ...

FCG doing a Divination spell on the inside of Orym's shield to find the way from the Changebringer ... oh ... is it working? Intriguing ... cool, another genuine divine visitation ... ooooooh ... and a marker? Cool ... go west, young man!

Chetney trying to get a read on the burned fat smell ... what ... a Religion check? Hmmmm ... oh, it's a smell of demons? Oh shit ... not great ...

Hello again, Pate ... he turns invisible and goes looking for possible demons and blue flowers ...

Single file, to hide their numbers ... and Pass Without A Trace? Okay ... sneaky sneaky ...

Lightning split trees? Yeesh ...

Bits of tarnished metal? Hmmmm ... that's suspicious ... not fresh, at least, but ...

So it's a helmet ... with a skull still in it? Not good ...

Nothing inherently fancy about any of it ...

Pate sees fuck all ... with a Nat 1 ... oof ...

FCG casts Death Ward on Orym in order to make sure they can get him back to his mum ...

Something's flying in ... TWO somethings, in fact ... bug and black ... black SMOKE?!!! Oh hell ... they don't spot thd party, but ... creepy ...

Chetney climbing a big rock to get a look round ...

Smells like a volcano? Lovely ... that's not a good sign ... and part of the forest is smoking ... great ...

Everybody's doing Pate impressions while Matt looks stuff up ... it's adorable. XD

Oh, the TREES are smoking? Hmmmm ...

FCG casts Owl's Wisdom on Fearne? Intriguing ...

Orange glow under the tree bark? Hmmmm ... FCG casts Detect Thoughts ... nothing in particular ...

Some kind of potential damage site? Hmmmm ...

An ash MARSH?!!! Seriously? Urgh ... hard going now ... no surprise there ...

Back onto solid ground without incident ... phew ... or not ... some kind of ancient battlefield now ... lovely ...

Something got badly charred here ... and there's some kind of dark crater? Hmmm ... AND there are flowers ... okay ... is it a trap?

Bollocks ... turns out Pate is colourblind ... THAT'S not exactly useful for finding the flowers ...

Pate land on the bush ... and falls into it. "They're thorny!"

Chetney goes in to try and see what's what ... and starts doing an English accent when he finds himself interacting with Pate.

So THESE are the flowers ... BINGO!!! Chetney starts cutting blooms, also casts Hunter's Bane just in case ... and he gets a little prickle of SOMETHING ... hmmmm ...

Oh fuck ... some of the bodies start moving ... great, it's undead time ... and there's something else there too ...

Okay, this thing definitely SOUNDS like a demon ...

Chetney pretends he doesn't actually see this thing znd starts to nonchalantly walk away ... yeah, this thing ain't convinced at all ...

Oh yeah ... "Roll initiative." HERE WE GO!!!

Battlemap time! Wow, that shit is BLEAK!!!

Top of the round, then ...

Here come the undead! Aaaaaaaah! Chetney's under attack ... crap, and he is now GRAPPLED ... oh shit, they're Ashari! It's some of the missing warriors!

Chetney: "Nuke us!" FCG: "I'm a healer! I don't Nuke!" Chetney: "Bring the falling fire!"

FCG casts Compulsion and they both FAIL!!! Now they're dragging Chetney through the nasty ashen mud ...

Imogen's up ... Laura has a very dubious plan ... Watery Sphere? Interesting ... she tries it on the demon ... a strength save? 17 plus more ... nuts ... then she uses her Telekinetic Shove to try snd free Chetney ... nope, it's like FREAKISHLY strong ...

The demon just SINKS INTO THE GROUND ... andnow it's FUCKING CLOSE to them all ... CRAAAAAAAP!!! A Soul Rend Vortex? WHAT THE FUCK?!!!

38 points of Necrotic damage to Orym and FCG, 19 to Fearne ... ouch!

Ashton RAGES!!! YEAH!!! Yeah, he's making some crazy gravitational wave as he charges the thing ... Density Well? So cool ... BOOM!!! 18 points of bludgeoning damage AND it's knocked prone ... AND some fire damage? 8 points! Nice .. but it's fiendish, so not yhat much of zn effect ... another attack ... another 19 points of damage because it's BIGGER than he is? Awesome ...

Orym performs a Disarming Attack to free Chetney ... yes! Success! AND 11 damage on the undead! Second hit ... only 8 points more? Not so good ...

Oh man ... Orym KNEW this guy? Crap ...

Chetney wolfs out ... he charges and while taking damage from the undead (8 Necrotic) as he moves away, inflicts LESS damage on the demon within ice attack than he'd like ... hmmm ... how CAN they kill this thing?

Fearne speaks Infernal? Of course she does ... "Stop it!" And here comes Mister ...

Laudna casts Mirror Image on herself, then ... oh man, that is HORRIFYING ... oh! Hey! It's the wolf! Laura is DEEPLY impressed! Matt: "That's your girlfriend!"

Here we go ... the wolf attacks the demon ... 14 piercing damage! Nice!

Oh crap ... now there are creepy shadow wraiths coming out of the marsh... great ...

A TOTAL MISS on Imogen! Phew ... now Ashton ... Erratic Defence? What is THAT?!!! Cuts it down to 11 points of Necrotic damage, but Fearne's fancy aura softens it ... now he's just chucking one of the wraiths around ...

An attack on FCG ... but Silvery Barbs from Laudna AND Fearne's spell saves the day AGAIN!!!

Undead longbow attack? Really? Both miss, though ... but the other one hits Orym with its sword ... crap!

Orym strikes back HARD!!! 15 points of damage! Nice ...

Spiritual Weapon from FCG ... a chainsaw? Really? Crazy ... attack on the undead! 7 points of radiant damage? Hmmm ... not THAT impressive ...

Imogen tries to get the Watery Sphere to actually DO SOMETHING this time ... okay, that's more like it ... ooh ... 4th Level Lightning Bolt AND it's Quickened by Ashton? Wow ... double hit INCLUDING the demon ... okay ... NINE D6 OF DAMAGE?!!! Fucking hell ... 24 points ... wow ...

Demon boy VANISHES again and reappears in front of Fearne? NO!!! Shit ... 10 slashing damage PLUS 13 Necrotic? Oof ... second attack CRITS ... 13 slashing and 21 Necrotic? AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! Damn, that hurts ...

Soul Rend? Crap ... EVERYBODY but FCG has to save ... oh man, this is all round SO BAD ... pain all round, but SOMEHOW Fearne still maintains her concentration ...

Ashton hits HARD on one of the wraiths ... POW!!!

Orym jumps over Mister and charges in to pull Bait and Switch on Fearne, then attacks the demon! POW!!! 18 points of damage all round! Oh shit ... another Ashari inside the demon? Not good ...

Chetney tries to just JUMP attack the demon ... in the end just GRAPPLES it ... okay ... second attack then ... still not that heavy with the ice damage ... hmmm ...

Fearne casts Daylight right on its chest ... oh shit! Oh, and that HURTS IT BAD!!! Nice! AND it repels EVERYTHING!!! Okay, then!

Mister chucks some flaming shit! XD 7 points of damage ... meh ...

FORM OF DREAD!!! YES!!! Always awesome ... Laudna sends Pate into the Watery Sphere and then twins a Shocking Grasp through him ... NAT 20!!! Oh shit! Pate: "Special delivery!" She electrocutes the guy ... and gets the HDYWTDT!!! Nice ... oh shit ... TWO kills? Way to go, dead girl!

Now the wolf attacks the demon again ... 11 damage! Sweet!

Undead attack on Fearne! Crap ... Laudna casts Silvery Barbs, but it still hits ... 12 slashing damage! Double crap ... and she's unconscious! NO!!!

FCG casts Mass Cure Wounds! Phew! 16 points all round! Nice! Fearne's back up!

Buzzsaw attack from FCG! Oh, Divine Strike? No ... ALMOST killed that zombie ...

Imogen chucks a 4th Level Witchbolt at the demon ... 42 points of damage ... and she gets the HDYWTDT!!! YESSSSSSS!!! Oh yeah, she full on LIGHTS THIS FUCKER UP!!! Oh yeah, the demon is TOAST.

For the sake of brevity, Matt lets the rest of the thralls die ... yeah, seems fitting ...

Orym finds a fading spirit within the demon's body ... oh man ... it's tragic, but bittersweet ... at least he gets to put her to rest in the end.

Ah, they at least found enough flowers before they died to fill a 3rd of the satchel ... cool. Meanwhile Orym's looking for personal effects, then performs last rites in the Ashari manner.

Moody, mournful wind ... hmmm ...

Matt: "And that's where we're gonna end the night."

All round, EVERYBODY is in awe of Ashley saving the day so it wasn't a TPK ...

Critical Role Campaign 3 Episode 36

Malibu Barbie? Interesting thing to call Matt ... MANCHESTER UNITED?!!! Hmmm ... oh no ... please no more singing ... fuck, Matt looks SOOOO uncomfortable doing THIS skit, doesn't he? Oh ... MOTHRA??? Really? No ... Sam, please stop skatting ...

Wait ... WHAT?!!! Who the fuck came up with THAT theory? What were you thinking? Was it just an excuse for Sam yo humiliate himself further?

LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA SEASON 3 GREENLIT!!!!! OM-FUCKING-G!!!!! THAT makes EVERYTHING we just had to witness worth it ...

Everybody's gushing over a t-shirt while Laura fumbles badly, that's so cute. :3

Wow, Laura how are you SO BAD at this all of a sudden? XD

"It's Thursday Night! There is magic and mystery, through darkness our friendship will rise ..." Once again I am helpless to stop myself singing along ...

Matt: "The Tal'doreian City of Whitestone." Travis: "What?" Laura: " Aaaaaaaaaaaahh!" Me: "Meep!"

Matt has trouble working out what time of day it's supposed to be ...

Chetney did Spring Break in Whitestone a long time ago, apparently ...

So much wood ... Chetney's going a little nuts right now ...

Whoa ... Grass grows wherever Keyleth walks ...

Fearne, do not try to steal Keyleth's antlers. SERIOUSLY.

FCG starts jabbering at Keyleth and talks about being an ancient murderbot. Everybody else cracks up ...

The clock tower!!! Yay!!

Oh gods, yeah ... Bertrand WAS buried there, I forgot about that ... :(

Oh man ... LAST TIME? Like with Will? Shit ... is this not gonna work? Like doomed ALREADY?

Phew ... oh thank the gods for that ...

Keyleth recognises what Laudna came back as ... wait ... IS LAUDNA LIKE RESURRECTED VAX?!!!

Fuck ... RETURN TO WHITESTONE ... I never thought Crit Role could really make me geek out again THIS MUCH!!! XD

"The Lord is in." Oh shit ... are we really gonna get to see PERCY AGAIN?!!! Is Vex gonna be here too?

Orym notices they're being followed by someone small ... Laura, what do you know?

Ah ... complications ... hmmm ...

Fuck, that's a lot of money ...

They're right, there's so much they still havd to tell her. Orym: "It's a lot." NO SHIT, wee man! Yeah, definitely, write it all down!

Chetney: "Tempest! You got this." XD

Horizon Temple sounds good, do that later.

Keyleth, to FCG: "Good luck with the ... not murdering people."

Taliesin: "This town needs a giant robot." Liam: "And I'll form the head."

Bird mask! BIRD MASK!!!

OMG it's Percy ...

Orym watches Keyleth go snd suddenly he's taller ...

Little girl ... A TIEFLING? Oooooh ... Gwendoline? Awwwwww ... she's so cute.

Laudna of Whitestone has come home ... ooooh ... this is poignant and painful together, isn't it?

Nice ... Orym really got a way with words when it counts. Roll for persuasion with advantage ... shit ... ELEVEN?!!! Hmmm ...

Oh man ... is this not going well? Oh ... wait, what ... PIKE?!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!!

Oh, that look Percy gives Chetney when he asks who did the clock tower ... I love that. XD

Chetney having trouble saying "mechanisms" ... oh dear, no don't mention metal! Fuck ... Chetney's gonna have an aneurysm over this.

Snort ... "plant lady"?

Imogen's indignation that Chetney's still not finished her order yet ...

Awesome! Percy and Vex's older kids ... oh shit ... VEX!!!!

Oh the wedding ... FCG: "It must have been quite the ceremony." Percy and Vex BOTH: "You have no idea."

Oh yeah ... get Vex to twist Percy round her little finger, that'll DEFINITELY work.

Yeah, the resemblance ... oooh ... THAT'S gotta be awkward ...

I gotta admit, hearing all this about the Briarwood calamity after seeing season 1 of TLOVM just hits different ...

PIKE!!! YAY!!! LITTLE MONSTAH!!!

I love they're getting hung up on her being a BAKER ...

Ashton's starting to get pissy about having to keep unwrapping Laudna all the time ... XD

Fearne being clueless about Pike's powers and stuff is adorably meta ...

Oh shit ... Vex makes the connection to Laudna on the Sun Tree ... Vex: "Darling, we have to help them." OH MY GODS, that's it! Vex is ON BOARD ALL THE WAY!!!

Diamonds ... hahaha, Liam suggesting Vex just starts turning out her pockets is SO on point.

Oh ... here we go ... come on Pike ...

Pike fudges the incantation ... yeah, that's just cute.

Okay! It's working! It IS working, right?

Fuck ... Delilah? SERIOUSLY?!!! COME ON!!!

Two souls ... fuck ... Pike: "And one of them's Delilah Briarwood."

Matt: "And we're gonna go to our break!" Travis starts screaming, as he should ...

Damn it ... this is another bloody roadblock isn't it? And Percy's not interested at all now. Not at all surprising really.

Imogen: "Can you talk to Delilah?" Pike: "I'M NOT GONNA TALK TO DELILAH!!!"

Persuasion check ... Liam man, roll good! Shit ...

And Percy is OUT.

Fuck ... this really isn't gonna work, is it?

Wow ... Vex is REALLY invested in this now ... oh ... wait ... okay, Percy MIGHT STILL BE in after all. Nice one, Vex!

Ashton, about Percy: "Do we need this guy? Do we need this old fucker?" Bloody he'll ... and now he's having a fucking ARGUMENT with Percy. This is UNBELIEVABLY meta all of a sudden.

Wow, Percy is TOTALLY prepared to SHOOT ASHTON IN THE FACE while he's getting up in his, isn't he?

This is some of the most bile I've EVER seen Ashton spew at someone. He is PISSED.

Interesting ... I'm starting to think Percy actually LIKES Ashton a little bit now.

Percy: "You're a small fish in a BIG pond." Ashton: "Have great fun in your castle!" Percy: "There's nothing you could possibly offer me that I want."

Yup ... looks like I may have been mistaken there ...

Ashton decides to punch a statue and Taliesin rolls a 1 ... breaks a knuckle ... oh ... wait ... IS THAT TRINKET?!!!

Matt: "This is an ancient bear." Laura: "Awwww, ancient."

Liam: "What are their names? What ARE their names?" Yes, Liam is right because the fandom WILL WANT TO KNOW!!!

Matt asking ASHLEY what they see in Pike's home is so sweet ...

Imogen thinking Vex for how accomodating she's being is chef's kiss, it really is.

Man, Vex is just HAUNTED by Laudna right now.

Spirit journey ... oh yeah, THERE'S NOTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH THIS, IS THERE?!!!

Oof ... right, Pike is TOTALLY winging THIS, ain't she?

Seriously Pickle, you really need to learn the rules here.

So how did you beat Delilah last time? Oh, here we go ...

Wow ... did Fearne just INSULT PIKE'S BAKING?!!! O.O

Does FCG have a spirit? Apparently this will put THAT ONE to bed once and for all ...

Wait ... is Vex gonna get Orym A MAGIC SWORD?

Laura: "Pike Trickfoot drinks WATER?" Ashley: "No, she's having a nippy-nip!"

Pike checks FCG for a spirit. FCG: "You can do that? As a baker?" Pike, sarcastic: "Yes, that's one of my abilities as a BAKER."

Everybody taking bets on whether he has a soul or not ...

Pike's really not gonna let them live that baker crack down, is she?

FCG and Pike in the spirit realm ... oh, this is really beautiful ...

FCG: "What does it mean?" Pike: "It means you're alive." OOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!

Whoa ... so, like ... Holy shit that means ... is FCG a cleric of the Changebringer, then?

Ooh, magic shortsword ... wait, is this basically STING?!!! XD

Ashton informing Vex that Orym is geeking out like mad right now ... Vex: "I must admit I'm used to blowing minds."

The gnarl rock ... hmmm ...

Pike asking Vex if she can cover for of 6K gold's worth of magic ... wow, I'm amazed Vex is being so chill about SPENDING MONEY.

OMG ... Vex going along with Ashton talking shit about Percy ... "He can be quite prickly ... usually up his own arse."

Pike's issuing instructions and Ashley fumbles her dice ... Pike: "Whatever that was ..."

Oh, okay ... off we go ...

Those spiritual head tethers sound AWFULLY FRAGILE to me ...

Nuts ... even in the sprit realm FCG doesn't have feet ... cue jokes about the Deadpool mini-legs scene ... ah, the tongue! Matt: "No! It's not canon! IT'S NEVER BEEN CANON!!!!"

Wow ... Chetney's LITERALLY just shouting for Laudna right now, isn't he? Like an idiot.

Fog of war ...

There is NOTHING BELOW.

Mister is a FLAME here. But Matt's STILL making the cute monkey noises. That's kinda surreal.

Chetney can SMELL STUFF HERE!!! That is freaky.

Sam, struggling with his stats: "Goddamn clerics!" Taliesin: "Haha ... revenge!"

Things are getting CREEPY ... okay, is it just me or is this weird soundtrack just SO disorienting right now?

Weird spooky cabin ... yeah, that can't be good ...

Those creepy whispers ... oh man, are those memories from when Laudna was on her own and kept getting driven away everywhere she went? :(

Body of a rat ... Pate? Oh ... Laura's reaction breaks my heart ...

Shit ... this is all just the shitty memories of when Laudna used to get hunted as a witch, right?

Sam: "This combat is SCARY, and it's brought to you by Wizkids miniatures ..."

Oooh ... another sweet map ...

Orym pills a Bait and Switch with Imogen to protect her ... sweet move!

So these things are like shadowy wraiths ... Travis is scared AND excited.

Laura's rolling balls right now ... 6 damage ... oh wait, SIXTEEN damage on the other one. MUCH better.

Chetney gets himself burned IN THE SPIRIT REALM!!!

Rage dice ... Taliesin: "HEY!!! First time ever!" Disco Ashton? Beautifully bizarre.

Tormenting Shadow? Eek!

Life Drain? DOUBLE eek!

Fearne, fending off an attack: "Eww!"

Sam does cleric stuff, and everyone EXCEPT Chetney has zdvzntage on saving throws. Travis gives Sam a look as if to say: "Hey man, what gives?"

Scorching ray ... oh crap, Fearne gets disadvantage. Ashley immediately starts trying to work out a way to weazle out of this. Liam: "I would like to win."

Wait ... DID Fearne steal Percy's plague-mask?

Flaming spectral poop!

I love how whenever Liam has to do battle math it's ALWAYS because Orym is KICKING ARSE.

Imogen gets advantage through Luck because she's within 10 feet of Ashton. Laura, chuffed: "EYYYYY!!!"

Chetney: "What's up, tiny dancer?"

Freaky bloodworm lamprey mouth ... lovely.

Ashton pulls a Thor cracking Mjolnir on Cap's shield with Orym against one of the wraith things and GETS THE HOW DO YOU WANNA DO THIS!!!

Fuck ... Chetney just got SHREDDED and it's NOT GOOD!!! This just got serious.

Sam: "Can't they just be bad at D&D like we are?" Liam: "No, they've been playing for TOO LONG."

Ooh, Spritual Weapon ... Sam: "It's the thing that black material hates the most. It's a bottle of bleach." Matt, exasperated: "You asshole."

Matt: "Okay, so top of the round--" Ashley, in Fearne's voice: "Wait, I haven't gone yet."

Ashton: "Anybody got anything for fire?" Fearne: "Actually, I have something." Ashton: "Not to START one."

Oh man ... the weird-ass mechanics of Barbarian class means if Ashton doesn't hit anything he loses rage? Oh wait, no he's fine. Never mind, then ...

Sam starts singing along to the super tense atmospheric battle music.

Orym makes a Goading Attack. Cue several goat noises from the others.

Oh yeah, 27 DEFINITELY hits ...

They're suckling on some Werther's Originals? Damn it, now I got a craving.

No! Not the Life Drain again!

The Wraith disappears and FCG screams in frustration because he can't attack it.

Oh, mechanics ... Matt remembers Ashley WOULD HAVE made her attack earlier so we're doing some timey wimey combat stuff ... it's all very complicated and Ashley gets flustered.

Mister's turn. Fearne: "Mister! Go throw some flaming shit at THAT guy!"

Now Fearne's doing ANOTHER Ice Knife attack ... HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS!!! Nice.

The shattered ice extinguishes some if the fire! Sweet!

Top of the round. Sam, doing a terrible Itish accent: "Top o' the--" Matt: "Shhhhh!"

Taliesin can't keep the rage up. They discuss if Chetney slapping him would do it, apparently it has to be a hostile creature. Sam: "Well technically Chetney can be pretty hostile."

"How does the GROUND want to do this?" No.

Ashton kicks it's arse, finally gets the HDYWTDT.

Fearne summons a tidal wave to finally put out the fire. The water still looks like flame. A blue flame ... Travis, hushed: "Fire water!"

Secret tunnel ... well that's not ominous or anything ...

Chetney looks ROUGH. FCG: "You look a little dim." Chetney: "A LITTLE?!!!"

They're worrying about Pike missing appointments. Buns to come out of ovens? Really? Ashley: "I think she's been baking with Old Toby."

Taliesin finds all the attempted healer shenanigans terribly amusing. I love how he clearly picked a Barbarian this time around so he wouldn't have to faff about this time.

Stealth rolls while Laura's gone to the bathroom. They start talking about having to roll for her in her absence. Taliesin: "She's shitting right now, so she's going to be a little while yet."

Laura comes back and is immediately indignant about them touching her dice.

Stepping out of the tunnel into some weird dark enchanted forest ... oh wait ... shit, it's a ghostly manifestation of Whitestone under the rule of the Briarwoods ...

Matt: "And THAT'S where we're going to end the episode."

The usual frustration ensues. Matt: "Well there's a lot still to come." Laura, clearly desperate: "Well let's do it now!"

Gaaaaaaah ... ANOTHER bloody cliffhanger, and another week Marisha's still not back for actual gameplay ... this is getting BAD ...
