To Matt's annoyence... Later something similar happened with Tal's character with two very character oriented lines (Matt) „Bane is the bane of my existence" (Taliesin) „Add a D4 to that"

2025-09-04 07:26:09 +0000 UTCI hear you, but a) it was dark, b) he's a BLACK DRAGON, and c) it was established earlier in the episode that Umbrasyl has some healing magic.

2025-09-03 14:51:12 +0000 UTCGlad you’re liking the series, hope you guys get to watch the stream versions of the campaign moments! It’s fun to see how it went down, and then how they adapt it. My personal favorite from this episode is the stream version of Vax getting wings. It’s like peak siblingness. Also, it’s funny that Montana mentioned having everyone kiss everyone at the end. The stream had two instances in the stream where they joked around with Polymachina lmao

2025-09-02 16:22:40 +0000 UTCAs amazing as this fight is there was one thing that I missed. The party is visibly damaged and on the verge of exhaustion and death, but Umbrasyl for all the hits he takes looks the same from start to finish, I wish they showcased more that each hit actually did something and made progress, that it wasn't just an arbitrary - now is a good time for him to die - scenario. It's only really a problem bc they did such a good job with Vox Machina, that in contrast you really notice the lack in the dragon. Luckily they really fixed this for season 3.

2025-09-02 16:09:16 +0000 UTCSo the real cool thing about Vestiges, in the mechanics of DnD, they level up with you. You can find the stats for Vestiges in the campaign books Matt has written, but essentially the Vestiges are Dormant in the first state and must be Awakened. Lastly, it can become Exalted, usually during some great moments of character development as opposed to just leveling up.

2025-09-02 03:27:14 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, as sick as Vax's wings are, I'd have to say Hawks, simply for the utility aspect of Fierce Wings. They don't just operate as mechanisms of flight, but also function as motion/sound detection tools, weapons, are equippiable auto carry tools, armor, speed boost, etc. I think they're pretty even on cool factor tho.

2025-09-02 03:02:36 +0000 UTCDragons generally have a number of spell-like abilities and the older they get, the more spell-like abilities they can have (ie. Umbrasyl's invisibility). The shapechanging also falls into this category. However, some dragons can also become powerful spellcasters. Raishan is basically a top-tier spellcaster in the body of an ancient dragon. In the campaign, I think Grog is the one that landed the killing blow on Umbrasyl. They gave it to Scanlan in the show, partly because they wanted him to have that moment for his character development. This was a big episode for both Vax and Scanlan (Vax becomes a paladin here). Also, Mythcarver is a bardic weapon and only bards can access it's full powers. One of the abilities is the power to get 4 consecutive melee attacks with a +3 bonus to hit and damage and an extra 1d6 points of force damage, so it fits that Mythcarver can do a killing blow on Umbrasyl.

2025-09-02 00:43:37 +0000 UTCThe thing that makes Scanlan's dream about his imaginary grandkids even sweeter is that they're voiced by Sam's own children. ☺️

2025-09-01 19:02:50 +0000 UTCSo, both season two of Frieren and season three of JJK are coming this January. Which do you think is gonna take the Friday slot once they finish Mob Psycho 100, which they should wrap up not long after? My hope is Frieren. ✨
HBelmont 24
2025-09-01 18:59:58 +0000 UTCAlso since so much happens this season, just in case you forgot, Raishan(the dragon at the end) was also the poison dragon from the first episode of this season. When she stopped Scanlan’s spell, he made a comment “Wait, this dragon’s got magic too?”

HBelmont 24
2025-09-01 17:44:01 +0000 UTCIndeed. That was something Critical Role does for their C1 episode naming conventions, is the major boss fight episode is named after the boss. That received a nod in this episode.

2025-09-01 17:41:20 +0000 UTCEven more specifically, some dragons can shapeshift, some can cast spells. Raishan could do BOTH. Which is crazy.

2025-09-01 16:32:14 +0000 UTCRaishan is a poison dragon but shes also a spellcaster. Some dragons can cast spells like a wizard basically. Possibly minor spoiler that explains what happened this episode that gets clarified next episode, dragons can often shapeshift. Thsts what happened here.
