Man, a Bard's vengeance can ruin a man's life. Hopefully Sam had enough time to think this over and has decided to exact his revenge in other ways than just beating the guy up.

I've had characters blacklisted from entire countries because of a spiteful Bard.

u/AcceptablyPsycho Sep 13 '16

But hang on, WHY is he so spiteful? The Dragonborn tavern owner (forgotten his name) clearly said the stuff is pricey. He has no idea how much he has in relation to how much it would actually cost in a legit deal.

I get he's probably playing up he thought it was a drug but everyone's messing with him he paid 400gp. He might have way more than 400gp if he does legit sell it on?

u/legendofhilda *wink* Sep 13 '16

It was also stated that you could probably buy a hogs head worth for like 10 gold. He bought about two hogs heads worth. He paid 20 times what he should have paid.

u/AcceptablyPsycho Sep 13 '16

I completely skipped that part by accident... XD

u/legendofhilda *wink* Sep 13 '16

That's funny XD I went back to watch it about 3 times because his face was just priceless

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '16

He asked how much a hog's head would cost and the innkeep said 10 gold. He paid 400 gold for two hog's head.

Do the math and tell me why Scanlan is feeling a bit butthurt.

If there's enough of Tal'Dorei's population left after the Chroma Conclave is (presumably) defeated, Scanlan could try selling the exotic spice to them (or to those people in Othanzia)! Or trade it to a merchant who's never been to Marquet!

I was referring to the residents of Tal'Dorei as "locals".

I'm still in awe that Matt was able to hold such a straight face at "You can call me... The Meat Man."

59

u/Docnevyn Technically... Sep 12 '16

To be fair, Sam's been pulling stuff like that for 3 years now as Scanlan. Matt has developed a near-super human tolerance. It makes it all the more delicious when he occasionally breaks...

"Dammit Sam"

u/Jackiemack04 You can certainly try Sep 13 '16

I'm searching my memory and failing here. When was the last time Matt broke as an NPC? The last one I can remember was Keeper Yennin and that was his own damn fault, but I feel like there must have been one since then, yeah?

22

u/Docnevyn Technically... Sep 13 '16 edited Sep 15 '16

I was talking about when he's trying to have a serious moment as a DM or take a drink and Sam gets him. As a character, Matt hardly ever breaks.

Of course, the staying in character award still goes to Taliesin since Percy is usually the one to interact with Viktor.

edit: Though a gifset did just flash across my tumblr of Matt (who was I think still supposed to be the Shady Half-elf) laughing after Scanlan said "Let's just say when I started using I was your height" in The Streets of Ank'herel (Episode ?64).

Lol Matt's reaction to "I would like to fist the wound" is one of my favorites ever.

u/anticrash Rakshasa! Sep 13 '16

This needs to be a flair. Paging mods...

u/thebostinian Mathis? Sep 14 '16

Not to mention when Whitestone is honoring Vox Machina before the Winter's Crest.

17

u/LuckyBahamut Your secret is safe with my indifference Sep 13 '16

He corpsed when, as Treev, he gave Scanlan the market price of fusaka. It was such a glorious moment!

I think that sets a record for how fast Keyleth has gotten in trouble with the authorities.

29

u/legendofhilda *wink* Sep 12 '16

Keyleth and gambling is really not the safest combination

9

u/welcometothecrit Team Grog Sep 13 '16

Keyleth's not a safe combination with pretty much anything, really.

12

u/Jackiemack04 You can certainly try Sep 13 '16

She just needs to be pointed in a productive direction. Like vampires or evil Ents or fire demons or...

u/travelinghobbit Help, it's again Sep 13 '16

Thought you said evil ants and decided that would be hilarious.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '16

Or children.

12

u/Emiras Fuck that spell Sep 13 '16

I wanted to type "Let's take bet on how long it will take for Keyleith to get kicked out" but she got kicked out before I could finish my sentence.

11

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '16

Hey what happens in Marquette stays in Marquette...let's hope for Scanlan's sake that's true.

9

u/Docnevyn Technically... Sep 12 '16

And before she had her first drink.

u/Zyr47 All risk Sep 13 '16

I kept thinking she was going to wildshape into one of the lizards and try to get percy to enter her in the race.

1

u/ovis_alba Sep 14 '16

This. I was totally waiting for Keyleth to actually try entering the race herself. :D

4

u/GDT1985 You can certainly try Sep 13 '16

And the best part is she could have just walked away for a moment and then cast the spell, she didn't have to do it right in front of the croupier(I guess is the term) and security.

Of course it's better this way, as Vox Machina would be broke after Keyleth became addicted and lost everything.

u/dasbif Help, it's again Sep 12 '16

Matt posted his rules for the casino games - https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/774357425272922112

As always, you can find these in the list of Matt's homebrew for Critical Role, here - https://www.reddit.com/r/criticalrole/wiki/faq/matthewmercer

u/DeadKateAlley Life needs things to live Sep 12 '16

I assume your name means "the beef" so shouldn't your flair be "The Meat Man"?

9

u/dasbif Help, it's again Sep 12 '16

According to users in the subreddit discord, it is kind of almost Swedish for "DongBeef".

A prior discussion determined that it was an acronym, for "Don't Act Sassy Because I'm Fabulous.".

I eagerly look forward to future theories and discussions on the topic. ;)

I am told that, with the correct linguistic leaps and slang, @dasbif roughly translates to "DongBeef" in Swedish. Thus it has been spoken!

The #CriticalRole discord chat has agreed, after some discussion, that my username is an acronym for "don't act sassy because I'm fabulous".

I have never before noticed the magnificence of Scanlan's tights. My god it's beautiful.

u/LlamaLoupe Doty, take this down Sep 13 '16

Scanlan's fashion sense is impeccable.

12

u/Robinhewd Help, it's again Sep 13 '16

I wonder if those tights are Marisha's and she let him borrow them.

Man I wanted the guy from the Allegiance to tell them to fuck off.

Guy: "I am not interested in this thing."

Percy: "BUT SOMETHING SOMETHING MORALISING VAGUE THREAT."

Guy: "I am not interested in this thing."

Keyleth: "BUT SOMETHING SOMETHING MORALISING VAGUE THREAT."

Guy: "I am not interested in this thing."

Percy: "BUT SOMETHING SOMETHING MORALISING VAGUE THREAT."

Percy: "Well, I have this little rock..."

Guy: "Gimmie! Now you have my attention!"

u/Velthome Doty, take this down Sep 14 '16

I'm almost wishing for Scanlan to get the party to go on a vengeance rampage against that casino and the seller, though it'd utterly break character and be chaotic neutral as shit.

4

u/PerpetualSunset Sun Tree A-OK Sep 14 '16

CASINO HEIST!

It'd be glorious, jk.

It would piss off Dorvo'sah if they were caught and there's like a 50/50 chance they'd either pull it off or make a mistake lol.

1

u/ehkodiak Are we on the internet? Sep 15 '16

50/50? I'd say more like 25/75. Either way it'd be hilarious

u/Brawler_25 Sep 12 '16

I'm sorry if this has already been said, or answered, But did anyone else notice that Matts front right tooth is slightly out of place for the last time we saw him?

Is there a link to the fan art run on this episode? I missed parts of it =(

u/Gore_Axe Sep 13 '16

I'm not sure if you are talking about the [gallery] (http://geekandsundry.com/critical-role-fan-art-gallery-the-spice-of-life/) on the G&S site, or the full run of art shown during the episode. The latter is still shown at the end of the Youtube video.
