"So I then had to figure out what was the tensile strength of the intestine lining of an ancient dragon. You (looking at the Vox Machina players) did this to me." Matt Mercer on the struggles of being a DM.

Something small that I really appreciated was that in the campaign, Scanlan used Dimension Door to teleport himself and Vax inside Umbrasyl. Technically, Rules as Written, you can't teleport to a place already occupied by a creature, but Matt followed the Rule of Cool here (hence the Scanlan: "I didn't think this would work", Vax: "It really shouldn't have"). Also, teleportation magic was hard to give narrative explanation and weight, so it seems that's just not part of Scanlan's repertoire in the animated series, although they gave it a nod with the Potion in the Season 1 Scanbo episode.

Little bit surprised he never caught the Scanlan Burt Reynold's joke. "You can leave when Burt Reynolds tells you, you can leave" Classic

The sword is their version of the immovable rod.

09:04 The animators and Liam captured Vax's serenity so well, here.

3:29 little joke during campaign 2: "We should get a drink! What was that place called? The Leaking Nip?" "There's The Leaky Tap, and The Evening Nip! WHICH one are you going for?" XD

00:28 That fight scene made me unexpectedly and uncontrolably weep with happy rage so hard I nearly choked on a handful of walnuts. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 When I rewatched it 100 more times I made sure to not be eating.

They actually animated the inside of a dragon's rectum! Props to the crew behind it!

This episode REALLY packed a lot in, it's honestly remarkable what they can do with 23 minutes (plus credits). They always feel too short, but holy shit every second does some heavy lifting. It does make me wish each episode was 30 minutes long though, I know this is standard for animation, but just *imagine * what these folks could do with just a few more minutes each episode. I love that even with all the amazing action and limited time, they've kept space for little moments between the characters, they all really feel like they've gotten closer since season 1, there's character growth, and growth as a party, even if we only see glimpses. If they released only one episode a week I might not survive. Yes, season 3 is further away when they drop 3 at once, but also I'm not gnawing on the furniture between single episodes, so y'know, pros and cons :p

​@@TheMovieCouple speaking of The Mighty Nein, the tavern in Scanlan's story, The Leaky Tap, is a place they visit, and the mugs you see on the shelf are based on the actual cups the cast used. From left to right, the big one was Sam's (he changes each campaign, that was actually his from campaign one), the one with the metal flaired top is Travis', the one with the pirate woman figure is Marisha's, the little cup is Laura's, and the one with the brass knuckle (or something big) handle is Liam's. kzread.infoZtTdBRvgoNA?feature=share

Have you guys seen Exandria Unlimited: Calamity? It should be your next reaction to stay on the CR train Only 20 hrs , it’s doable! Prequel 1000 years before VM, you’ll learn more about the Matron of Ravens and her impact, along with the other Gods and role of magic in this world

The THUD as soon as they entered made me laugh so hard I was out of breath. Honestly someone needs to cut in audio of Johnny Knoxville shouting “HELLO I’M JOHNNY KNOXVILLE WELCOME TO JACKASS!!!” and then play the music!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wait, isn't the Leaky Tap from Campaign 2?

It is. We can only assume the tavern didn't materialize out of thin air the moment the M9 got together, and that it already existed when Scanlan visited on his tour.

Great reaction guys

This episode was really cool. I loved the fight scene in the end. It was also really funny in the beginning when Scanlan was talking about the love of his life and then his daughter was like “That’s not my mom.” It was also funny when Percy was explaining the plan and the half-giants looked so confused. And the part when Vax when into the temple and talked to the matron of ravens, it was just cool to actually see who and what she is.

Umbrasyl could cast darkness, which gave the players disadvantages on attacks. The invisibility is a nice translation. Also, it just looks really cool when it spits acid or splatters someone while invisible.

He did actually use invisibility when Vax was scouting his lair. Ironically if Vax had taken his 14th level in rogue instead of his first paladin level just before this fight he would’ve had blindsight to notice him. It wasn’t greater invisibility like it seems to be here in the show though so he didn’t actively use it in combat.

It killed me when Wendy starts talking about how she thinks they'll wrap 12 and Dustin just gives the Critters the look. Those who know, know.

It wasn’t included in this video and I’m hoping to hear your opinion of the moment, but I loved the scene where Vex not only ripped off the band-aid and called Kiki out on her feelings for Vax… but also ENCOURAGED her to follow her heart. She gave her approval. A total reversal of how it was in Season 1. “It always matters. Don’t let him get away.” Keyleth overcame her fear of the Aramenté and has found encouragement to embrace her feelings for Vax. And Vax overcame his fear of the Matron and had found purpose and peace with his new calling. Makes me hopeful for Season 3, as the groundwork has now been laid down for them to eventually come together.

Black Dragon Backside exam into the Dragon. That was fun & funny.

9:55 tell me you haven't seen Travis pull that exact face....

I have missed you guys, glad to have you back! Can't wait for episode 12 THE GRAND FINALE! Congrats and good luck in your new job Wendy!
