this has been driving me crazy for the past week

[tsukana]

the screenshot i managed to get of the table as matt says "how do you want to do this?" for the Umbrasyl fight is INCREDIBLE because its the whole party losing their minds with relief and then. chris perkins staring into the camera office style

Every now and then I think about how epic that paladin reveal was, Vax diving from the sky in free fall, the terror of that, and opening his wings for the first time and everything it meant?

Unreal.

What a moment.

And then I remember the whole reason he was up there to begin with is because his dumb ass (affectionate) tried to teleport inside a dragon and had to cut his way out of its guts before being crushed to death by stomach lining...

And if that doesn't give you everything you need to know about Vox Machina I don't know what would.

Transcript:

[Ominous music plays softly in the background.] Hardwon (Jake): Bottoms up! Murph: You see Balnor, Bev's dad take it. Hardwon (Jake): Cheers. Beverly (Caldwell): Yep! I take one. Jake: I swig. Murph: Okay. All three of you guys drink it. Emily: Yeah. Murph, seriously: Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna roll to see who is the witch, between Balnor, Bev, and you three. If one of you guys is the witch, um, you have to play it to the best of your abilities. Try your best to be the witch, or else bad things will happen in the future of the campaign as determined by the gods. I am going to roll to see who the witch is. [Caldwell "Mhm"s. A dice rolls.] Murph, seriously: And now, I am going to, um, hand you guys dice. If you are the witch, um, you are trying to fool the other people into thinking you are indeed the person whose body you are in. So Hardwon, if you are the witch, you're pretending to be Hardwon but you don't have your memories. [Jake: Okay] So you're just like, lying along with the group, or you'll make something up, or you're just like-- you see that you're a big buff dude so you'll say something that seems in character. I'm gonna hand you guys each a d20, if you get a red one then you are the witch. [Sounds of Murph passing dice around in the background.] Emily and Caldwell: Okay. Emily: Everyone, we should just close our eyes. Everyone close our eyes. Caldwell: Yeah, yeah. Jake: Games like this make so fucking nervous. Murph: Okay. Everybody look at your d20. See if you got the red one. If you got the red one, then you are the witch. If you did not, then… you are yourself. So you guys all drink this concoction. You all look at each other. Everyone looks like normal, everyone looks a little bit nervous and suspicious. You put the top back on the cauldron, and you put the knife in the middle. So now what's going to happen is we're all gonna roll initiative, and then you decide on your turn if you want to ask a specific person a question or if you want to ask the whole group a question, and then we go around in a line answering. [Various dice roll.] Emily: I got a nat 20. What a waste of a nat 20. Jake: Hell yeah! 16. Caldwell: (laughs) I got a 16 too-- ooh! Jake: Roll off? Caldwell: Yeah. [More dice roll.] Murph: Okay. Well, let's say-- since Moonshine-- so we'll just go around in a circle now. So, we'll do-- So, where we sit in real life, we'll say we're standing at the table. Emily: Okay. Murph: So we've got: Moonshine, is next to Bev, who's next to Balnor, who's next to Bev Sr, who's next to Hardwon in a circle around this cauldron. Moonshine, you ask the first question. Moonshine (Emily): Balnor, what's your favorite food? [Five full seconds of silence. The music fades out.] Balnor (Murph): …chicken. [Everyone bursts out laughing] Jake: I st-- I st-- I stab Balnor. Murph: (laughing) You stab Balnor. Instantly, there is this shriek, and this-- I thought for a second about fucking cheating! I can't believe you just picked Balnor! Balnor inst-- Emily: I was-- I was like Balnor or Beverly IV, that's who I'm going for, because the other ones are gonna talk more-- Caldwell: It's too hard! Emily: --and we're only gonna get one question with each of them.

just chilling out watching C1E55 "Umbrasyl"

[chiakery]

Still can't believe how ridiculously hilarious the fight with Umbrasyl was. We've got:

1. Tiny Vax.

2. Percy "screaming like the little girl" while he runs at the dragon with the sword he barely knows how to hold.

3. Scanlan's VERY inappropriate attacks with Bigby's hand.

4. The Kancho style Guiding Bolt from Pike.

5. And, most importantly: Umbrasyl, the Hope Devourer, the black ancient dragon, the acid-spitting goth supreme amongst dragons who summons magical darkness basically turned into a freakin disco ball with Keyleth's Fairy Fire.

vax getting wings for the first time: not one but two dramatic symbolic moments

yasha getting proper wings for the first time: shouts "hey look over there!" at everyone before trying it bc she was nervous it wasn't going to work, rolls terribly on the deception check, everyone just stares at her, she goes "fuck it" and just starts flying
