    We've bought Thorum rings for our wedding rings, so excited 😀 (Yes, entirely Critical Role's fault this happend)

  2. Scott Frank Boardman

    Does anyone know the piece of music used in the background around 32:00 when they’re asking about if Imogen’s mother would help them from the inside?

    I love a slow cello if anyone knows it much appreciated 💙

  3. Rhundis

    D is fucking Devexian from Campaign 2! The way their conversation with FCG was said with an air of excitement and familiarity makes me believe this.

  4. Jeremy Olivier Voice

    I hope Travis is ok. I noticed how he said "shut up" when everyone said 7 like the Ukatoa thing, that might just be him being tired of the Ukatoa thing, but he also coughed "what are you doing" and the fidgeting with the dice and just an uncomfortable look. I saw the many yawns and he looks like he needs to slip into a nice several day sleep. I LOVED the Laudna and Ashton moment (my favorite)! Oh, and Ira is still as creepy as hell!

  8. loli poli

    Anyone else just screaming at the screen: THE GODS!!! The gods are obvious allies and they're strong af!

  9. drewcifer

    Travis and Laura making giggly glances and having full wordless conversations with a half expression or flick of the finger, gives me life.

  10. Sadders Special

    I just really want keyleth to rock up with old man Grog in toe, would be great fun watching Ashton and chutney get humbled by a old bearded Goliath

    I'm very fond of these talented actors. Critical Role has taken over my life since January 2022 and I've been consuming their content nonstop since then. I'm however struggling with Campaign 3. They've been playing their backstories very close to the chest so I feel like I still don't know the characters very well. And that means I don't feel so deeply for them. And it feels like they don't really care that deeply about each other. And below table the cast seems unfocused perhaps? For me it feels like there is a lot of crosstalk and out of character jokes that continuously drag me out of the story. Matt tries to build tension and gets undercut by a distracted team member. It is almost like they are bored. Is it my imagination? They'll play an emotion heavy moment and interrupt with a joke and then continue role playing. But with the joke in between I lose the moment. Perhaps I've been watching it too much and maybe need a break? I don't know. I love CR and hope to find my excitement again.

    I feel like destroying the keys is the safe choice. Letting Predathos get out is terminal, but destroying the keys so that they can only attempt to break them out again in a couple of centuries or so is safer. By that they are making it somebody elses choice.

  13. James Siefken

    Ashton's speech sounds good, but it ignores all those being murdered, suppressed, and crushed by the system as it is now, his speech condemns those fighting back against annihilation. It assumes things should stay the way they are.

  14. Appi

    I feel like the final battle we’ll be some Endgame “Avengers assemble!”scene

  19. Perzesser

    Meanwhile Oshad Breshio is sitting somewhere thinking: "Bells Hells surely wouldn't forget to call me, when it's time to avenge the Lumas twins and redeem myself, would they?"

  20. Moon Man

    The mortal enemy of Garfield is the Monday Critters. The battle to keep Mondays will soon be upon us lmao

  22. idrc1415

    Okay… why was Marisha crossing her eyes adorable? Like, it wasn't just me, was it? Lol

  26. imthestein

    "it's easy to make a better tomorrow when you kill everyone that disagrees with you". Well if that isn't the fucking truth

  29. S C

    Why are the captions on top of the screen, even when I pull them down? haha

  31. SmackYoBass Fishing

    2:50:11 is Matt making a deep sopranos reference ?!? Remember the last thing carmine said in the show is that he smells smoke / smells like something is burning before his stroke ! 😳

  32. Purply

    The name of this episode… I just got done with playing Metro: Exodus (The name of the Train in that game is The Aurora, and it definitely does some growing. in both senses.)

  33. One Belligerent Idiot

    Just like when they first met and we're meeting the underbelly of the city, they still need their DM to save them when they roll or roleplay themselves into trouble. Good show but this campaign compared to the others has borderline batman plot armor at times lol.

  36. CasaNERDlol

    Hey guys, did you see Ira and Tull in the intro cinematic? Ira is not what I expect….

  37. Heike S.

    Each time when Ira appears, I think of Kamaji 🤭🤭 Thank you, Critical Role – getting addicted to watching you has greatly improved my own character creation and play! You 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

    so the excavation site is 4 days away from the hideaway by skyship. the skyship has a speed of 40 knots or 46 mph. 46 x 24 x 4 = 4416. They are able to see the key from 4416 miles away with a telescopic lens, even though the "horizon" should be only 4 or 5 miles away… Flat Exandria confirmed.

    ''What was it like waking up and having them there?'' If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of my heart breaking
