I'm wandering in and out while my wife binges Campaign Two. The Pirate arc has concluded and now that they're back on dry land, she's just been introduced to an elderly elf wizard with long white hair...

And having watched all of Campaign Three, it is FUCKING with her.

Yussa took one look at Caleb and said, "I know exactly what your deal is, boy. I know because it was my deal too, once." He's gotta be shitting himself thinking, "this guy knows who I really am!"

Jester: We’re back!

Marion: Please take the dog

Jester: Mama! We came to see you

Marion: PLEASE TAKE THE DOG

Matt, falling into despair: It's a chair. It's a standard chair.

campaign 2 episode 48-49 mood

[okay-klepto]

Ep 48 of Critical Role is a little dry...

A lot of talking, which is okay, but they are making connection to things and talking about people and I am like huh?  Who’s that?  When did that happen?  I’m sure next episode will be more lively.  You can’t have near-death battles every time.  The magic tower was cool tho

cr c2ep48 spoilers

ok so I never do this but here are my thoughts for my own future reference

the chair could be True Polymorphed Yeza my dudes (that was my first thought when it was described) and,,,,,,,,,,,,,yikes

the mean elven lady is most likely the archmage that they saw, c’mon

imo Nott is definitely a goblin considering all the backstory she’s already told the group, about working with the torturer etc

I thought Nott only knows Yeza through having befriended him when he was captured but it doesn’t seem like the case considering she knows his apothecary and the basement etc. (will need to rewatch to confirm)

Nott didn’t have magic before meeting Caleb so she never could have disguised herself before

this points towards Veth/Beth being Luke’s birth mother and a separate person who is not Nott - and who was actually killed by the goblins

However, Yeza cares enough about Nott to still be thankful about the gifts she sends - Nott seemed disappointed Yeza told Luke V/Beth was dead so??? What did Nott expect if she knew V/Beth was dead??? It is likely she didn’t think this through, and that was the only disguise she knew

Nott clearly cares for Luke like she would her own son - would that make sense if she had never met him before and only knew of him through Yeza’s stories? I am inclined to say yes, her fantasy/guilt goes that deep

someone predicted earlier that Nott had a son in Felderwin so props to that person; being aware of the possibility made the shock a bit less heart-stopping but I was still definitely not expecting it

I’m so worried about everyone but particularly Nott+Caleb - I was NOT expecting Caleb’s backstory to get tied in so quickly

EDIT: ok I admit the more I read other thoughts the more I think reincarnated-Nott isn't totally a crackpot theory but,,,,,I still think more signs point towards Nott not actually being Beth

EDIT 2: people pointed out Nott doesn't actually know Edith so that further supports the idea that Nott was just pretending to be Yeza’s wife...

So that last episode was really something huh? I was in a state of shock for at least the next three hours. I will never get over how talented everyone on Critical Role is and how expertly the tone can shift from lighthearted and fun to dramatic and stressful. And you can bet that I was stressed! Campaign 2 Episode 48 might be my favorite of the campaign so far and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Waiting a whole week is going to be a test of survival. Here is a drawing of the Mighty Nein getting one last drink before heading out on the journey back to the Empire. Oh the good old days of Nicodranas. You will be missed. Back on land and I’ve never been so stressed.
