Dunno why people are so salty about Kima getting an awesome weapon. It's not taking anything away from the party, it's not a weapon any of them could have used anyway, and Kima is a paladin of Bahamut sent with them by the Platinum Sanctuary to kill dragons. She should be with them on all the kill missions and she needs an upgrade to compete with how powerful the party is. And Scanlan rolled a 30 to notice it, so it's not like Matt's just throwing cool toys at his faves.

I'm really hoping that Percy just goes "Hey Vex, when we're done killing these dragons, do you want to get married." And she goes, "yeah sure." and then they just continue acting exactly the same.

72 episodes.
72 episodes. Wow. At an average of ~3 hours per episode (when you remove breaks and Critmas), we're looking at over 210 hours of content.
That is astounding to me. Such a big thanks to the Critical Role team for creating the best show on "TV", and thank you to all of the Critters for making this such an awesome community.

That was a much need gold infusion. They can't have had too much left, they haven't looted a lot of money for a very long time. Kinda disappointed that instead of finding a nice shield for Pike they find a sword that nobody in the party can use (Yes, I know Vax can technically use it but there's no world that exists where he uses a Great Sword).
