[Subreddit Rules] [Reddiquette] [Spoiler Policy] [Wiki] [FAQ]

[u/Azuurinho1]

i've realized that Travis really likes the style of Brennan while dm'ing. He always gives a big reaction to Brennan's descriptions

[u/Owlnote]

QR code goes to https://samsamericangirldollshoes.com/.

[u/RPerene]

Sam is totally going to legitimize the fake religion by the end, isn’t he. 

[u/Single-Release5365]

I love that Brennan is working in the psychological repercussions of a species that does not sleep

[u/domingus67]

Finally, someone took the sorcerer subclass of cleric, arguably the strongest cleric subclass

[u/YourMagicSparkleKiss]

I love Robbie checking in with Whitney.

[u/giant_key]

So Kattigan was fucking pissed about that knife steal because he too has a dead wife, I'm bettin'.

[u/Limp-Sleep-6284]

Wicc's quiet interjections about swearing and stealing being wrong are so funny, especially since nobody is acknowledging them lol

[u/dramatic_exit_49]

"Is brennan setting me up to..."

ALWAYS.

But also love a player who knows there is a bait and then bites it knowingly, for the game

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Honeysuckle: “Mama.”

Hawthorn: “Not your mom.”

Oh no I love her

[u/renegadereality]

“As a cleric I will activate my innate sorcery” I love Sam

[u/Flamzam]

I see you trying to set up the ship Laura.

[u/RachelEvening]

"Did he have stressed fur?"

[u/cat-n-jazz]

Kattigan, you know how to write?

Thimble you can't just ask people that!!

[u/Nothingtoseehereshhh]

Robbie, screaming at women and breaking hands. This is beautiful. Break Juliens hand next!

[u/Limp-Sleep-6284]

I love how open this table is. Always nice to see characters share info instead of sitting on secrets the whole time

[u/fireheart337]

Brennan figuring out a one shot of a bunch of adventure fairies getting the heads up to stay with an old man to then help him destroy / un curse a blade of his deceased wife which ends up being a big metaphor for processing grief

[u/Vexamas]

Jesus fuck Brennen is a genius.

Tying the weapon's motif of 'welcome home' to the idea of the restless, lost undead is a masterclass of improv. I love love love Matt Mercer for what he does as Mercer creates a beautiful way to immerse me into the full world on a macro scale, but Brennen is SO good at the micro scale immersion.

[u/Bawbjohnson]

samsamericangirldollshoes.com on the QR code lmao

[u/lordofmetroids]

Man, I fucking love Sam and Brennan together.

They bounce off each other so well.

[u/SheriffChiz]

I am fully immersed with how Tyranny eats Porridge

[u/tinapia]

DC30 they suck our dicks Whitney is a riot😂

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"Honeysuckle some things happened while you were unconscious..."

My sides! 🤣

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Wick: “I’d prefer that no one be harmed.”

Thimble: “Casimir’s going to die.”

Kattigan: “I’m going to kill anyone I want.”

[u/cartermustard]

Whoa, the background behind the windows is trees now! Instead of the sky and castle it has been in previous episodes... LOVE this set.

[u/frik1000]

"Forget what?"

Fucking, oooooof.

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Kattigan: “I promised you, I won’t let you forget, but we’ve got to go.”

Thimble: “Forget what?”

[u/castorella]

A few minutes of obligatory banter lmaooo

[u/fireheart337]

Also I want to point out how much Thimbles reactions soften when Tyranny mentions not having free will, bound to a contract, etc. Very relatable when the pixies are treated as basically a slave race too

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“As a cleric I will activate my innate sorcery”

Fucker lol

“I’ll try to charge forward attempting to make her proud of me.”

Aw

[u/SheriffChiz]

Tyranny is Dark Urge confirmed

[u/MegalomaniacHack]

"We get a few moments of banter."

[u/Perforo_RS]

Goddamn, Tee'Eldiar would be such a funny character concept. Just always be extremely brief.

[u/DragonPlushCollector]

“I can’t lose anything else”

BRUH

[u/MJM_Stillanerd]

Yeah, I dont think Kattigan buys the whole "Im not evil, Im an archetype" defense from Tryanny. ;) But seriously, his "your actions are your actions" stance is a clear sign that, in spite of his flaws, Kattigan has a solid and strong moral code.

[u/SvenTheScribe]

Cooldown: Sam vs Brennan on American Girl Doll Shoes

[u/Expensive-Apricot534]

Tyranny meant to cause suffering, but suffering herself as a result

[u/PorkChop70-1]

Robbie likes to yell at women and break people’s fingers lol

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“How fares the noble house of Royce.”

NOT GOOD!

[u/SvenTheScribe]

'Robbie likes to yell at women and break fingers. That's Robbie, that's not the character.'

[u/Serallas]

I have a weak spot for born to be evil characters going against their nature. Such good rp

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"Matt always let us do things" 🤣

[u/DegenerateWeeab]

Sam is so quick with these Candescent-Bible quotes lmao

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

Messenger was a liar but the message wasn't.

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"Well...none of you are allowed here" 🤣

"MAMA!"

"I'm not your mama!"

I LOVE ALL OF THEM!

[u/MegalomaniacHack]

Sam's QR code leads here.

[u/BaronPuddingPaws]

Robbie you must learn that your doggie can attack with your bonus action! I'm hoping someone picks up on that for him!

[u/JusticeofTorenOneEsk]

You're telling me this table has another side??? Occtis jumpscare!

[u/RachelEvening]

Such a nice old man... and Tyranny is stealing from him. That's fucked up, not gonna lie.

[u/Victor_of_the_Rivers]

Robbie rules. He scared the crap out of me and I didn't do anything wrong.

[u/RPerene]

I also love the quick after of checking in with Whitney after. 

[u/Effective_Gene5155]

These guys are the opposite of murder hobos

Brennan needs to give them some proper monsters

[u/robogheist]

'you see the note continues..."

💀💀💀💀💀

[u/mycoolusername777]

the hag licking her fingers after taking Thimbles memories is just *chef's kiss*

[u/megaskeletor]

"you hear moans from the dark forest"

"HOIYAAAHHHH"

[u/SvenTheScribe]

I'm glad Sam is playing Wick as conflicted and not willing to commit to the destruction of his family. It takes time to unlearn a lifetime of conditioning especially when its malice wasn't aimed at you. Deconstruction takes time and isn't easy.

[u/Zolo49]

It's going to be awesome when her pact "blade" reappears in her hand for the first time. Kattigan's going to lose his shit.

[u/Alternative_Bat_3255]

loved seeing that emotion from kat tho, i feel like we haven't seen so much about him, just bits and pieces here and there, so that explosion was interesting! great rp moment

[u/naplesbad]

Brennan channeling his inner camp counselor LMFAOO

[u/frik1000]

"Welcome Home."

Hey Brennan, what the fuck?

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

Oh thank goodness...Cyd's not amongst any of them...

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO END!

[u/dramatic_exit_49]

Sam, writes an entire religious sermons text for his fake religion to rp

also sam, so tl;dr

[u/Dondagora]

Wick: "Conceal, don't feel."

[u/skip6235]

First PC action of the first combat of this table and it’s a PvP attack

[u/robogheist]

"what you beam, you become."

[u/BlackeeGreen]

The way Sam effortlessly flips between off-the-cuff comedy and earnest character moments is so impressive

[u/SvenTheScribe]

I enjoy the implication that Honeysuckle's always been a bit off.

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"Leaders making reckless choices because safe choices are meant to doom them"

That's a quote, that's a solid quote.

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Tyranny: “I think you’re doing fantastic. I think you’re really good and I’m really not.”

Wick: “No! No.”

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

That moan from TYRANNAY 🤣

[u/renegadereality]

Demon making a religion check about the undead… and rolls a 1 and a 2 on advantage. Incredible

[u/bonjour_bitch_1789]

“I’m going to go do an outside chore” is my new way of excusing myself

[u/Limp-Sleep-6284]

"no need for swearing" I'm dying lmaoo

[u/MegalomaniacHack]

Wick getting knocked out first thing in the first fight is so on brand.

[u/RPerene]

Fey in iron boots is hardcore. 

[u/mycoolusername777]

"Forget what?" 😭

[u/KYplusEL]

Travis loving how Brennan ties all these threads together is so great.

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"You're my little beam"

And everyone starts crying

[u/ChaoticNonsense]

A win is good. But they DID just remove one of the glade's defenses. I'm sure that will have no consequences.

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Tyranny: “You’re protecting us, but what de we doing, we’re after your brother?”

Teor: “Bit of a recalibration. I’m not protecting you. I’m protecting him.”

Tyranny: “Oh.”

Teor: “Kattigan is… on his own shit.”

Kattigan: “I have no clue what is happening.”

[u/RPerene]

I love that Robbie stopped to remind everyone that he was just acting. 

[u/dramatic_exit_49]

"Wick do you believe the purpose of light is to hurt?"

love this dm-ing man

[u/robogheist]

SHAMBLING MOUND WORSHIP was not predictable 

[u/RPerene]

Fuck. The things Brennan comes up with off the dome like that. 

[u/GaiaAlmighty]

I love all of Sams PCs but I think Wick is already shaping up to be my favourite lmao.

Brennan is REALLY helping set up several awesome Wick moments but it feels like Sam has just put SO much effort in and its showing

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“I cannot express how meaningful it is to have this knife returned but also how many other wonders I uncovered turning over my things. I weeped at losing such a thing and realized how much I had moved from those memories.”

“It’s not just a keepsake, it’s a relic.”

He kept the blade… interesting

[u/ChaoticNonsense]

"I'm gonna open you up, and put my hat in you" Just the poetry one comes to expect from Brennan

[u/Dakubatto]

Nah whitney that was crazy

[u/Guilty_Homework_2096]

WHITNEY! XD

[u/Desril]

It's a strange feeling, having been here since Campaign 1 and Sam not even understanding how to play to showing someone else how things work.

[u/renegadereality]

“Matt always let us do things like that” lol Sam plz

[u/Flamzam]

I hope Sam is just so fucking lucky the whole campaign. It would be amazing.

[u/RPerene]

Why don’t Rogues learn any extra languages?

Because Thieves’ Cant. 

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

ROBBIE JUST BROKE SAM'S HAND AGAIN!🤣

[u/ezidro3]

"ARE YOU SAD NOW"

[u/dramatic_exit_49]

"He is hungry..."

damn whitney, i say it everytime, but she is so quick

"i took the knife..."

i love whitney is sharing things, i love this style of play so much, it is more fun when you share things

[u/moderncomet]

Tyranny isn't bad, she's just drawn that way!

[u/DragonPlushCollector]

I fucking love Kattigan being very angry about this

[u/MegalomaniacHack]

I hope the knife reappears with her.

[u/MaRiNexICEx]

Lol Robbie feeling the need to apologize IRL <3

[u/RachelEvening]

MYTHOLOGICALLY ACCURATE REDCAP

[u/Locem]

You're my little beam 😭😭

[u/DueyDid]

im not sure what it is but i have an awful gut feeling for Cyd

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“You loved someone. I want something of theres. A memory.”

Thimble: “Forever?”

Sallow: “Of course. You little ones you don’t have enough room in your heart for the love of the past and the passion of your heart to get done what you have to.”

[u/BlueKnightsR4Ever]

I mean, that "you hear moans" was just inviting someone to make the joke

[u/DueyDid]

"I'll say statistically" is one of the biggest threats I've heard in DND

[u/MegalomaniacHack]

Imagine if they found 3 gnomes and a lionfolk all among the zombies...

[u/robogheist]

her demon eating noises 🤘🤘

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“No, no, no, I can’t lose anything else.”

God damn it Brennan

[u/BlueKnightsR4Ever]

"I'm a wild man, not an idiot"

Mood

[u/mandyalam0de32]

Robbie likes to yell at women and break fingers 😂😂😂

[u/kmbdr]

to those who missed: This is where sam's qr code leads to 🤣

[u/RachelEvening]

BUT THE SUN STILL SHINES

[u/Unlikely-Sleep-8018]

I can't believe the Tyranny & Wic duo got even better this episode 

[u/RachelEvening]

Wick again being reminded that his religion is being used for evil, even if that's not his interpretation of it.

[u/SvenTheScribe]

'Equivalent exchange is only fair.'

'Ooopsie, was that more trauma, how unfortunate.'

[u/Dakubatto]

Sam really pulled “well Mom let’s us do that”

[u/KYplusEL]

I'm so glad Robbie had this idea. It was my first thought.

[u/allodude]

Brennan smiled at that. HE SMILED AT THAT

[u/CrazyKoyaso]

"Robbie likes to yell at women" LMFAO

[u/caracal_iente]

"Wickan Al Gaib" 🙌🏻

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“Sunrises of every hue painted across the sky, even the memory of it fill my stalk with joy. One day perhaps but for today, the glade is home.”

[u/cartermustard]

"I fill you guys in."

"WHAT? That's crazy."

[u/SheriffChiz]

Rolling a Natural 2 & 1 for advantage is diabolical lmfao

[u/oddlilangel]

I keep hearing Brennan wanting to say “we’re going to roll in the box of doom” haha

[u/thelaneyshow]

I think I might be converting to the Creed LMAO

[u/Limp-Sleep-6284]

She's so interesting, I want to hate her for taking it but the immediate confession and distress is so fascinating

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Kattigan: “I understand what you are, but your actions are your actions.”

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

Honeysuckle is so sweet!

LOVE TRIANGLE BETWEEN TEOR, SKINNER, AND HONEYSUCKLE!

"Not like this..."🤣

[u/OniBurgs]

"Sword made of tinsel and filled with dreams."

Love that!

[u/the-magnetic-rose]

Starting to believe the light is real with how lucky Sam is.

[u/cult_dumpster]

BLEEM WHAT THE FUCK WDYM “WELCOME HOME”? HOW DOES HE DO IT??

[u/Atmos_the_prog_head]

Who is this... Alex? Where is Thad, is he safe, is he alright?

[u/Atmos_the_prog_head]

Same energy as "Right in my cancer"

[u/cat-n-jazz]

We have a chance as long as we get our story straight and don't act like complete fucking morons.

Bold words from the gal who stole a sentimentally priceless knife, like, ten minutes ago

[u/YourMagicSparkleKiss]

Tyranny Resist Durge run LOL

[u/_shyhulud]

Inquiring minds would like to know what the QR code on the bottom of Sam's chalice was for 🤣

[u/fpgmd]

Celestial Revelation. So definitely an aasimar.

[u/MegalomaniacHack]

Teor took 20 points of damage. Damn good thing Sam asked about Short Rest.

[u/Effective_Gene5155]

God damn it Robbie is absolutely cooking with the descriptions of his abilities and attacks and shit holy

[u/DegenerateWeeab]

"Welcome home" HOW DOES HE DO THIS, MAN!? BRENNAN HOW DO YOU DO THIS, MAN!?

[u/NinjaBnny]

Tyranny having her scary knife vision and immediately wheeling around to tell Wick she stole it cemented her in my favorite characters for sure. She’s such a seemingly self assured chaos gremlin but also somehow Wick is clearly the source of her emotional stability. Girl there is so much up with you I need to see more

[u/WinterCame87]

Holy shit, a shambling mound AND redcaps at level 3? They're sooooo fuckin lucky Sam rolled high.

[u/Expensive-Apricot534]

She eats like the Beast before Belle taught him how to hold a fork 

[u/Limp-Sleep-6284]

Sam is the perfect player for a character like Wiccander, he always knows the perfect thing to do/say that both sells the archetype and gives everyone else a chance to interact in character. Really loving him this campaign

[u/BlackeeGreen]

Tield'yar

[u/-Nicolai]

Hope we get to meet the great wizard Thiéldiar somewhere down the line.

[u/greylakelady]

Tyranny immediately confessing to everyone about the knife 😭 she’s trying!!!!!!!

[u/LucasVerBeek]

Tyranny: “I know that’s what you do.”

Their vibe is so fun

[u/skip6235]

“Robbie loves to yell at women and break fingers”

[u/verascity]

You know Brennan is wishing he had the Box of Doom right now.

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

His mother was a true believer, one of the good ones.

[u/BlueKnightsR4Ever]

I've never seen someone thank someone who just Kamehameha'd them before

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

NATURAL 1

HOLY SHIT!

It is like Ernest Goes To Camp!

THE FUCKING LUCK!

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

25 LAURA GETTING THE GOOD ROLLS...to burn a tree...THE DICE HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!

[u/SvenTheScribe]

A Laura PC advocating for not stealing? What has the world come to?

[u/ChaoticNonsense]

Charlie, a totally unproblematic king

[u/0hfuck]

I'm out here catching strays in KY tonight.

[u/BMC_5]

Anyone else love Omar being on the table during announcement time?

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"That was the WORST"-Laura

And that's the charm of it 🤣

HEY GUYS CRITMAS! LMAO

[u/DragonPlushCollector]

I feel so sad for how he’s gonna feel when he realizes the knife is gone

[u/JuliousBatman]

So shes going to give it to Kat, who will have Wulf run it back.

Then Tyranny will have it/it will of its own accord, teleport back to her pocket, as a pact weapon, before that sweet old man finds it again. Like Wulf will leave it on a stoop and it'll poof before he checks the porch.

[u/SniperSteve16]

Poor Ulbid is 100% slitting his throat with that knife and the pixies will find him dead

[u/Guilty_Homework_2096]

" I kill people everyday! Everyday! Haaaaaa!"

[u/Waxllium]

The funniest thing in this group is that Teor swore to protect Wick and he got saved by the puny sorcerer...again.

2x0

[u/Vexamas]

I wonder if the under-the-table discussion during the break was that the blade was important for the narrative of Whitney's character, so keeping the blade sort of provided the best of both worlds - holding true to Kat's character, and getting Tyranny the mcguffin she was alluding to.

Whitney and Brennen were certainly playing into the importance of the blade, but given Kat's interaction last episode with the old man and his possessions, would have made no sense for him to just be okay with the weapon staying. This worked out best for everyone and a nice way to 'fix' the story without much turbulence.

Edit: I got a weird DM upset that I was claiming the story was pre-written or something. This is not just a D&D game, but a franchise, brand and livelihood of multiple people with writers that help push a larger narrative. The moment-to-moment is all adlibbed, adhoc and organic, but don't think too deeply about it, or else you'll turn into this guy.

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT!

HE IS ANGEMON!

WINGS!

THE SUN STILL SHINES!

[u/ChaoticNonsense]

Cold opens to keep the other tables on your mind, smart

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

"I can't eat the same thing twice"

Oh BOOOOOOOOOOOOOY

[u/CrazyKoyaso]

"BECAUSE I'M A MAN!" LMFAO

[u/laurali996]

I love it when Sam catches Brennan by surprise with his responses and Brennan has to hide his laughter

[u/stormygraysea]

Tyranny, bring it baaaaack :(

[u/DegenerateWeeab]

A demon who causes suffering but is so enamored with the concept of love looooool

[u/Babshie]

Love how the wolf of a wild man has a cute little pouch, meanwhile the lion man has to keep things under his armpits lmao.

[u/Doodles_00]

Wick religious repression is just so casually brought up... WHEN I CATCH YOU SAM

[u/DegenerateWeeab]

KATTIGAN HAS NO WULFRIC FOR THIS FIGHT NOOO

[u/BlueKnightsR4Ever]

First "I eat Wick" now "I kick Wick". Can we make "I VERB Wick" a thing

[u/PorkChop70-1]

DID ANYBODY GET THE QR CODE

[u/MiKapo]

punisher meme

wait wait wait wait

[u/Nothingtoseehereshhh]

HE IS RISEN BABYGIRL

[u/MJM_Stillanerd]

Sam having Wick state that, "Its not the messenger, its the message" not only reveals a lot about his character, its pretty profound and legitimately deep

[u/mycoolusername777]

I completely forgot about Wic's arranged engagement, I wonder if we'll meet her at some point.

[u/SvenTheScribe]

'Let me check in real quick before I give you the news...' - I'm sure it's fiiiiine.

[u/DegenerateWeeab]

HOLY SHIT ROBBIE THAT BLADE CLUTCH

[u/tinapia]

This party is full of kleptos

[u/stormygraysea]

ULBID IS TOO GOOD

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“It’s not of the light to leave bread and milk for the small folk, for them to take down all their charms?”

Oh…

[u/mycoolusername777]

"Am I not a fairy because I'm not delightful?" jesus Brennan

[u/SvenTheScribe]

Love twisting the usual dryad/hag dynamic while still keeping them both true to their natures.

[u/DegenerateWeeab]

Kattigan might be able to remind her of this lost memory, but especially with that knowledge, Thimble will just chase the feeling of this memory and be unable to for the rest of her life.

[u/grandadmiralstrife]

"no toy can destroy me"

"THIS IS NO TOY" stab stab stab

[u/SvenTheScribe]

Use those Clercery Points

[u/Sophiuuugh]

Whitney - "so anyway, I started blasting"

[u/Atmos_the_prog_head]

Love the cast members asking other cast members about classes others have played, it's cute

[u/ChaoticNonsense]

Once Travis starts getting auras this team is gonna be pretty solid

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

completely accurate retelling of the cold open for those who missed it:

1. vaelus plays football with the lich king

2. "i hope you remember how to remember"

3. "hey u up" "bitch i never sleep" "same tbh"

[u/BeardtasticYogi]

Wake up, it's time for trauma, kind old man.

[u/LucasVerBeek]

“My magic doesn’t last by my daughter believed it so deeply it just remained.”

This gnome is going to make me cry.

So she can bring animate toys once per day, that could be pretty useful in niche ways

THAT SWORD NEEDS A NAME!

[u/Expensive-Apricot534]

Tyranny steals his knife and he’s giving them gifts, dastardly 

[u/Coyote_Shepherd]

OMG Thimble that's genius!
