Hey hey guys!
You ever succeed on a DC 20 roll with a nat 20 3 times? so that you don't lose your entire sense of self in a river that basically takes your sanity? I did, and made a song based on it.

Lyrics:
Is this what it feels like when birds fly?
I wonder for an eternal moment.
Is this just the final end of my life?
I wonder
I can see the battle far above above me
I can see the water rushing down below
I can hear a voice inside of me
That shakes my very being as it echos
Dive
Blood of the river engulfs me and sings
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Desire to let go clings tight onto me
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
I can feel the fire deep inside and breathing life into my lungs
I’ll keep reaching out and screaming now is not my time my bell’s not rung
I’ll continue fighting what fate’s writing cause my journey’s still so young
I’ll hold onto the wire though it’s dire my final song has not been sung
I won’t be changed
This will not be my fate
No! I know who I am
This will not be my final stand
Not yet
Up is down a downward spiral
Can’t remember what is vital
Every single finger's numb
Embers dimming one by one
Can I run? Run away before what happened?
If I return to moments before then
What would have happened?
What happened?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
I can feel the fire deep inside and breathing life into my lungs
I’ll keep reaching out and screaming now is not my time my bell’s not rung
I’ll continue fighting what fate’s writing cause my journey’s still so young
I’ll hold onto the wire though it’s dire my final song has not been sung
I won’t be changed
This will not be my fate
No! I know who I am
This will not be my final stand
Not yet

Your DM better have just given you a special attribute or perk that basically it just “IRON WILL: this being’s mind cannot be turned against itself, charmed, or otherwise manipulated”
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I'm right in my deduction that this hero also appeared in the Elturel song. If so, then you once again show your proficiency at slowly building up the legends of your heros through song like a true bard.

It takes your sense of self, the description says, which i would think includes your memories, so technically it would be the river Lethe.

Reminds me of my tabaxi barbarian rickert, he died saving his friends from a disintegration spell. He fell apart in his adopted moms arms( party cleric) even in his last moments he made sure his new family was safe even if it meant he couldn’t see them anymore

Please tell us your PC got something akin to an Epic Boon for miraculously withstanding the effects of falling into the infamous River Styx, because THAT! WAS! EPIC!!! Three cheers to *_Vera, the Unbreakable_* (and may she receive a life-times supply of discounted post-campaign therapy sessions)
One of my party members fell into the river Lethe last session and is desperately trying to cling to their memories while swimming to shore and this song just fits that moment perfectly

Oh I know what you mean I have a NPC loosely based off of Cami/Danerai in how epic of a Bard she is, and she's going through her own Hells and she's getting to the point where she and the party are going to also face the question of "Who are you"

Cries hearing it. Defintely emotional.
I love the mood, it's so tense and desperate at the same time
.. i have no idea who these characters are but in one fell swoop you have managed to get me sitting close to my monitor with wide eyes and screaming because of these characters being dragged into rivers or seeing their memories. you are a crazed lunatic and I want more or some context pLEAse Edit: it has been two days and now I have been dragged into the wonderful world of DND and i realized theres more songs than just ThiS oNE.

You just gotta love those moments in DnD games when you just DO IT. You set out to do a thing, and you manage to somehow surprise everyone by succeeding in the most brilliant way possible. With all the DND songs you do, part of me wishes I could see the games that inspired so many awesome moments that you went and made songs about it.
CAMI MY WIF I love how this song came out 💚 I feel the emotion within and it’s just so powerful 🥺
Beating the river Styx is a moment that deserves to be immortalized in song
AAAAAA I had so many goosebumps !!! The animations and effects were glorious, this is a certified banger! 👏
To me, Cami-Cat means actual emotions in songs
I would love to see more annapantsu and Caleb Hyles collaborations. All three always make great songs.
This reminds me of the time my Wizard needed to make an intimidation Check and despite have expertise in intimidation had just brought himself to his 5th level of exhaustion so he had disadvantage on the role. Got guidance from the Cleric. Rolled 2 Nat 20’s and a 4 on the d4 for a whopping 41 on my intimidation to make the rest of the bad guys leave. DC was 30.
Such a beautiful song packed with such raw emotion! Once again Cami exceeds our expectations and delivers another incredible song. :)
Ultra Crit Success on a sanity save seems like the sort of feat songs are written about
I would kill for full lore videos on Danarei and Vera. I dm and play D&D and have never been more invested in the backstory and journey of a character as i am with Vera.
The goosebumps i got from this pure emotional masterpiece, your DnD originals never cease to amaze me, i love every song you put out there, such talent, keep it up Cami!!
This seems like something that was supposed to be unavoidable, but you kept rolling nat 20's so the DM was forced to accept that you survived.
Woah. This is phenomenal! The emotions hit me right in the soul! I can definitely see why you were inspired to make this with those kind of rolls under those circumstances. You guys really conveyed here just how tense that session must have been
I like how these songs always tell a story, and the visuals help it along some more. How this is a continuation of a story that started being told when Eltruel had fallen, of the party that tried to avenge it, the desperation of how far over their head they truly are. It's impressive, it's beautiful, I love it.
The vocals; the imagery, sent chills up and down my spine! 🥰👍
This is why I've been wanting to DM for so long, and it's why I will be DMing for the first time very soon. This game is so special, and the stories it tells are beyond compare. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this!
The moment of "I'll hold onto the wire though it's dire, my final song has not been sung" and the string snapping always gives me goose bumps
"LET ME TELL YA' SOMETHIN' GRAVITY! Ancient, evil force of nature!" Seriously, how many people have been screwed over by basic physics?
Sounds fantastic! Good old emotional epicness from Cami. P.S.: Can we get lyrics in the description?
Hot damn this is so good. I'm still hooked on the last few songs but you just keep cookin.
I love your voice camicat. These song was epic, and the drums, just awsome
took a dip in the styx and managed to survive sanity and soul intact. impressive.
Amazing song! I always love new music from you, keep up the good work!
Amazing, and I love your characters. I see you showed flashbacks of the adventure your character has gone through.
I love the art style, especially that ending shot. Every picture evokes emotion despite me never having heard of Vera before
This is absolutely amazing! I don't have the words for it. And I've listened to this so many times already! ❤❤❤
Love it. Great work.
GOSH GOLLY GOSH THIS IS SO DANG BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD JOB ON ALL OF THOSE NAT 20s THAT HELPED TO INSPIRE TO MAKE THIS SONG!
Yoooo this one was so powerful! You could feel the raw power and emotions from the very lyrics, so much work and effort put into this song! Beautiful! 👏👏👍👍
That's so good, we can feel the emotions be it in the song or the art that gave me chills and goosebumps Nice job on this one
This is my VIBE! Can't wait for the lyrics to go up so I can sing it myself!
Keep up the amazing work I love your singing style
My heart is pounding yet at the same time I feel like I'm going to cry. This was simply breathtaking. Epic job Cami T^T
Dude, this is so freaking cool!!!
So, so good Cami! 🤘🏻
Good lord this song! Its been awhile since I last commented on one of these videos, but that aside This song is has so many levels of impact and dynamics sounds and vocals! The Art, This song essentially being a battle cry; a roar of defiance is just done magnificently! Awesome work Cami!

this is great!
Gods that was good. Absolutely perfect inspiration for my new OC, thanks :)
Wow. So good. I love your work. It inspires my games.
Hey just wanted to say that your singing has inspired me to start writing songs about my dnd adventures and recording me singing them. Thanks!
I had not seen this coming
I love it!
... I have no words. That was amazing.
Here in a little over a week, my DM is starting up this module (with his own spin of course), and I've been listening to this far too much while i prepare my own character.
Cami if you're not a DM and world builder you should be, as a DM, Storyteller, World builder, and Bard myself, your songs always inspire me to go further beyond what I think is my limit, I would more than happily play in any game you make.
Wait a second Are these the same characters from "a song of elturel"? Was this from playing decent into avernus?
amazing
A DC 20 roll with a nat 20 3 times? Now, that's a story, which i really would like to hear. (I know, the short explanation is in the description, but i am interested in the whole story - it should be at least that epic, like awaken the sleeping Tarrasque as a karaoke-singing monkey...)
this genuinely made me cry
Wtf this song triggered something for me. I teared up. Great song.
My Daughter just came running down from upstairs yelling "CAMI-CAT!!!"
LETS GOOO!
Fucking amazing! I love the vocals and the urgency that the instrumental part conveyed. Perfect! Just the thought of your character's want to hold on to who they are, being so incredibly strong that it manifests into 3 nat 20s in a row! It's so fucking awesome! And if anyone says that it was just some incredible luck, I don't care, my take is arguably better.
Proud to be Cami Cat's biggest fan! 🐱
Goos god this is good
Ahhhh this song is amazing!!! There a story about what’s going on in it? I’d love to hear it.
I really need to hear the full story behind this song, just a snippet you’ve given us seems in extremely bad ass, I want to know the circumstance I want to know everything
