I'm at Episode 22. There's been some epic shit, yo. The fight against the Beholder was insaaaaane, especially since it was immediately followed up by the epic escape without any room for a breather. The battle on the airship could have gone way worse. The White Dragon battle was intense with the ending, with one character knocking on death's door, another barely holding on and the fantastic counter-attack deadly blow by the guest star.
Btw, what's the spoiler tag policy in this thread? Only spoiler tag the last few episodes in case people haven't had the chance to watch the most recent ones of these long vids or spoiler tag everything spoilery from Episode 1 forward?
It gets worse before it gets better, but the show gets so much better. I wasn't a fan of his from the beginning, but by the end of his time on the show I was just using the arrow keys and skipping ahead in 5 second increments until he stopped talking. You could see the whole room tense up every time he opened his mouth.I'm on like episode 17 or 18. I can see why Orion's style of playing got tiresome. He got all weird about going into the room with the Beholder, barely showed up to the fight but got the killing blow and was kind of an ass about it. I really enjoyed the character early on but sometimes I'm like damn dude just shoot a fireball and quit trying to macguyver up some telekinesis thing that after a long winded explanation Matt has to tell you it's a concentration spell so you can't fly at the same time. People have probably talked about Orion to death though but I'm late so give me a break.
I'll be honest I know nothing about D&D but I think I might start this tonight. I've heard really good things.

I was hoping the "benefits" conversation would lead to Pike telling him, "Yes. You're assigned partner is Grog. Good luck."Dotteys drawings were hilarious. And Pikes reaction along with Tarrys. Plus the "benefits" of being in the group.
Pike "I'd never say no to you. Wait that came out wrong."

This vampire fight was intense as hell. Damn @ dem damage numbers of the lady vampire. Like almost half HP from Grog in one hit. They really need a monk to join them as someone with higher chances of evading all of those spells & such.
Btw, what was the fight after that one? They almost immediately got into some other fight with some character called Broker or something (+ his allies). I kind of missed a lot of the setup for that (I was playing BOTE simultaneously and there was some hard shit and I wasn't paying attention for a while) and I'm not sure what caused it. It had something to do with Lilith, the guest character.
Lilith was wanted for conspiracy and/or treason. Her family ruled whatever the area they are from and sent the Broker. He's basically a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter + 4 of his people would have been enough for Lillith, but they weren't expecting to fight people as strong as Vox Machina.
My main hang-up with that they joined that fight only because she was a player character. If you find out your companion that you've only known 45 minutes is a wanted fugitive, I don't think you kill her pursuers. Atleast, not immediately.
Well this shopping trip sure escalated.
explain what happened.. i literally stepped away right after he pulled out the egg.
Doty made the warning sound, and then walked in with 2 guards he knocked out. Then Grog punched them in the face to make sure and broke their jaws. Then they started panicking and for a second there Grog was just gonna kill everyone.
ep 90 spoilersThey easily handled a rakshasha when they were level 10. Why are they obsessed over this mook-level enemy. He's a featured extra. A nobody. They have slain dragons and beholders.They also complicate the platinum sanctuary. It's the citadel and focus for the strongest divine in the entire world. Why would you want to give it to the Raven Queen people which is not nearly as protected. And thats why it should have been Percy, Tary, and Keyleth at the Platinum Sanctuary. The Raven Queen plotline is the only thing that matters to Vax.
Just as I type this, Matt and Marisha just ranted along the same lines lmao
Under estimating enemies is how most of them have died. Including Vax, Vex, and Percy. They're not just fighting a Rakshasha, they're going to the 9 hells to fight it in it's own home plane. It's not going to be a cakewalk.
I mean,Why even go after him? Now that they actively brought him up over and over again its a plot point, but i'm saying after they finished the conclave arc. I guess they needed to figure out stuff to do. I know going into the hells will be rough.
I wonder how they are going to cope living in a hostile area for days/weeks at a time without Scanlan's Mansion. They haven't done that since The Underdark/Trial of the Take.
The druid envy in the group is real.
She has to have seen it before and it can't be undead, though. I can't wait to see the craziness that this will create.
Ridiculous lmao
They all bonded after the hazing and some drinks.
Am I crazy to feel like Liam/Vax is kind of a glory hog? Whether it's steering the plot his way or his almost universally dreadful long winded "conversations" where he pulls someone aside and just monologues to them and leaves, he really gets on my nerves sometimes.ep 90 spoilersThey easily handled a rakshasha when they were level 10.

She's a warcaster and most of the forms she'll take will probably have high constitution, but yeah. I'm excited for the terribly timed form drop while she's carrying the party over lava or something.It's also a concentration spell.
I picked up on that too. I thought he was going to go all in on that, and I think the rest of the cast was giving a him a knowing look when he started describing him.Watching this episode now. I don't know if it was intentional, (I'm guessing it is) but it cracked me up how all of Taryon's descriptions of his father are basically describing Donald Trump.
I believe he was swording himself.It gets better.
- The shopkeep comes out of the backroom just as Tary is fisting himself in an attempt to vomit.
I enjoyed the fun of the last two episodes, but I'm starting to feel like Milhouse and the fireworks factory with their trip to hell.

Vex really, really needs a solo plot line. Preferably one that isn't her being worried about her brother.I feel you. Matt feeds into it with thestuff, so I'm hoping it will lead somewhere eventually. They each get their shine though (except Pike), so its mostly ok.fate-touched
I could definitely forego the frowny-face conversations for sure.
Vex really, really needs a solo plot line. Preferably one that isn't her being worried about her brother.
I don't see why not. It could be fit in as an element to other quests like Grog's Uncle and the monk guy.Probably not going to happen considering how close to the end they're getting.

I don't know what the final arc is actually going to consist of, so I can't say. Her having her own plot line doesn't really need to be more than an episode or two, though, so I don't see it as unlikely.Where though? Right now there just tidying up loose ends and once that's done there's going to be a time skip and then on to the final campaign arc. With all that and Matt saying that he's going to try and get ashley some character development while she's on break from Blindspot, I just don't see how he could do all that within 3 lvls left of gameplay.
And that's not even counting if he & Marisha are going to take some time off for their wedding/honeymoon.
Grog's herd was a little shoehorned in with being so directly connected to the vestige, but I enjoyed the encounter.That was so shoehorned in.
I predict that we'll get at least three more chapters, putting us around 130 episodes total. But who knows? Maybe Matt is trying for the SDCC panel to be the final episode. Which would be really fucking cool, actually.
Chapter 7: Hortis
Chapter 8: Leading up to fight Orcus
Chapter 9: Orcus
And possibly a Chapter 10 simply being epilogue.
I think Keyleth's awkwardness is partly in character, but Marisha and her defenders really overplay that as an excuse for any weird decision or lacking of comprehension in in-game situations. I've seen her say a few times on Talks Machina that she's actually nothing like Keyleth, and that's just bullshit, lol. I'll be interested to see what happens in the next campaign when her next character is also awkward.I don't know if it's her character or just her but Kelieth is the worst.
Also death is so meaningless now. It really takes away from the game when one of them dies. I hope Matt figures out a way to deal with this in the next game.
Also I wonder how much better they would do with an actual arcane caster and Cleric there all the time. The Wiz leaving and not being replaced was a noticeable gap and then Pike is rarely around either.
Yeah, they'll take a break after this campaign, maybe do some 1 shots possibly with some different systems, and then start a new campaign in the future of this world.Do we know if there will be a next campaign?

I think there are times when she deliberately plays up Keyleth's awkwardness - usually when interacting with the party - but as soon as she starts any even slightly-important interaction with an NPC (or doing anything in a major combat) there's a completely different kind of awkwardness which doesn't seem put-on.
You can usually tell which one it is by whether or not she's flailing her arms about in bizarre poses, or trying to put on her tough-girl face.
Now that Sam is playing Taryon's awkwardness up in such a ridiculously charming way (Seriously, Taryon is the best-worst character) it's even more jarring.
On Alpha today they put out an episode of CelebriD&D with Joe Manganiello.
