Figured the first time I accidentaly stumbled upon spoilers (A thumbnail for a video) - SPOILERS below (even tho I do not know the context of it) - So its about Campaign 1 and its... Vax's ending (?), as I've said I don't know the context (at all), and it might be changed like some thing were in Season 3. It can't be that permanent given that he showed up IN Campaign 3 (I think he did anyways)

Given that this is an adaptation of a wildly popular series with a large presence on Youtube, it's pretty hard to duck campaign spoilers.

Ryan Porter

I'm sure Mosco can't wait for Elijah to get to s3e3 ... for purely scientific reasons, of course...

Kris Grimsley

No spoilers!

While I can't argue the next two episodes are great (love me some good action), that one scene alone (and what it means for the future) is just... peak storytelling, without it being forced.

David Bodor

I am so tempted to make a joke about long-cons right now.

David Bodor

If you mean the one in the church then yeah I agree, it's SO good.

It is very much a spoiler. There was a narrative reason why the episode was like this with the character

LikeCat

The way I understand the twins' ,,relationship" with their father is this: He hates them for being half-elfs and wants NOTHING to do with them, they feel the same way towards him, just show it differently... Vax outright despises him (which was shown here clearly) and do not want to be assosiated with him until it is necessery (his ,,we're his childen" line), on the other hand Vex while aware of his treatment towards them is more ,,forgiving" towards him. (Shown in the flashback in episode 3, and stated by Osysa in episode 2)

Germille drawing exagurated drawing of Vox Machina in that ,,journal"... Huh... Wonder where she got the idea from? 🤣😉

My favorite this season is episode 11 (For that 2 and a half/3 minute conversation - I come back to that from time to time).

David Bodor

Personally I'm waiting for S2E10, I freaking love that episode

Bryan Forquer

Am I the only one who can't wait till Elijah gets to episode 3 of season 3?

"He killed me with them." Grog is such a drama queen the way he said it 😂 Like, okay dude

We stan a doting Pop Pop. 😍 Saundor, though? We could all use a smaller number of his particular brand of asshole.

Yhe sequel information is very much a spoiler because that was hidden for a large amount of the campaign

Suplee215

Their father is straight up racist. Doesn't like half elves. Yes has 2 half elf kids. From a fling he had while on a diplomatic mission. Hypocrite and all that. Only took them in because it's his responsibility as a noble to do so and stuff once he found out they existed. Yea he's a scum bag.

I'm surprised you didn't recognize Vex & Vax's father's voice, Troy Baker. He was the voice of Grime in Amphibia. Saundor was voiced by Sendhil Ramamurthy (most popularly known from Heroes). I have seen folks mistake other male voices for Matt Mercer on the show, which is a bit frustrating, cause they're doing hella good work.

Christopher Malone

nothing I have said is a spoiler, merely his name and title and that he will have a part to play in the final season (maybe given the changes made that is put doubt to be honest) and that he will be part of the sequel, anything else you may or may not infer from that I cannot control

Chris (darkwater)

Vex! <3

Come on man

Lazuli _Polaria

can you maybe NOT spoil?

Liam Gradwell

I think this episode clearly states the fact that Critical Role is all about FAMILY DRAMA. 🤣

Dragon0921

Seriously, people get a little TOO excited to share some details that are borderline spoilers. 👀

Chet Bliese

NO ONE SAY A THING ABOUT THAT GUY! NO JOKES, NO "CLEVER" HINTS, NOTHING! Seriously, the comment section in Mosco's YouTube video had so many "joke" hints it gave away the plot of two campaigns.

Percy's face right after she says that, they are head over heels for each other... Even if they deny it. Perc'ahlia forever. 🏹

Kyle Hennett

Ambassador Vessar, the Twin’s Father is voiced by Troy Baker who voices Joel from the Last of Us.

Dragon0921

I think Elijah completely missed that line while she was popping off. XD lol

Dragon0921

1. Vex and Vax's father, Syldor Vessar, was voiced by Troy Baker, who's probably mostly known for his portrayal of Joel from The Last of Us. 2. Gnomes have a pretty long lifespan, up to 500 years, so it's not surprising that Pike's Great Great Grandpa is still kicking. 3. Taliesin/Percy gave Laura/Vex her titles during a live show and it was GLORIOUS! And though Syldor in the animated series was a prick the whole time, Matt made him proud to hear Vex have such an esteemed title. 4. Vex mentioned back in season 1 that their mother was killed by a dragon, which is why she's been obsessed studying them. 5. "If I could pull the blood of you from my veins and give it back, I would." is a quote she actually said to her father in the original campaign. Laura pulled that tragically beautiful line from her soul. 6. Matt revealed if Vex took Saundor's offer, he would have turned her into a part tree entity. She would have been a proxy for him and would have been more vulnerable to fire damage. 7. "Magical Green Elf Bro" will be back, don't worry. lol

Christopher Malone

Elijah meet Artagan the Traveler, he will be showing up again during the final season and is a big part of the sequel series the Mighty Nein... and he not as big a perv as he played up as Garmele he just likes to take people down a peg or two as needed and enjoys deflating egos

Rye-Ah

Idk if it's a minor detail, per se (since quite a few people will pick up on it), but Syldor (the twins' dad) noticeably only starts cooperating with Vox Machina after Percy rattles off his name and title. It really drives home that Syldor cares more about his appearance in front of political equals than his own children ("Well then, Lord de Rolo III, what can Syngorn do for you?") Side note, but when I first watched this episode, I had to take a breather after he said "no appreciation for my /years/ of civility" like DUDE. NO. "Civility" should NOT be the word you use to describe the time you spent raising your own damn children!

Nightley

Nope, their father is voiced by Troy Baker :)

Dreanner95

Due to knowing both the show and the campaign, I can't be sure but I think it was already mentioned in past episodes what happened to the twins Mom but it will be a topic in the show again regardless.

BeastialMoon

Your openings are always so silly, and such a delight. If you want to try this one again, here's an idea: Use a hand to make the "Hello there!" mouth movement, since you couldn't get your head quite up the whole way.

Vex's ,,My heart is someone else's"... Laura I hate you😂... you are truly that little seed of joy and chaos in the world that we need💙

I (unintensonally) semi spoiled myself on Germille's ,,true identity"... This is how it went: I watched this episode, then later on came upon a clip about that ending scene where he was referred to by a different name, than (months later) when I decided to finally watch Campaign 2 (currently on episode 34) a video popped up on my recommended feed feachering that different name and a Campaign 2 character... So I kinda ,,know" who he is, but like ONLY the name and that ,,connection" between the two characters.
