9th level counterspell FUCK YOU LUDINUS
The Shard of Rau'shan - or - Introducing the Emperor and the Empress
--
I drew this right after the episode aired but couldn't continue it until now. What a couple of episodes,, what an arc. I love them so much.
[Image Description: an illustration of Ashton Greymoore and Fearne Calloway from Critical Role C3e75. Ashton hovers above the magma pit, their skin glowing orange, hair burned to a yellow-white color, and clothes burning, with the crystal shard in one hand and Fearne supported up with the other. Fearne clings to Ashton with one hand and also has a hand on the shard, her dress and hair floats up around her along with globs of molten rock. Their eyes glow the same color as the shard and both have points of light shining from them like a crown. Fearne has a look of worry on her face, Ashton looks surprised. The background is rivulets of glowing magma flowing into a pool, glowing orange, reds, browns and yellows.
This episode had some incredible viusuals…
…which i’m gonna leave to better artist to actually draw
Chetney being immediately done with the lava room was hilarious Travis is killing it
Several of the big moments in the last episode couldn't have been possible without specific level-up choices.
Orym sticking with Fighter gave him all the attacks he needed to lay the smackdown on that reiloran juggernaut.
Fearne taking her second level in Rogue gave her the cunning actions she needed to close the distance AND assist Ashton in liberating the Shard from its resting place.
And Laudna choosing to max her Charisma is what put her spellcasting modifier at just the right threshold (+5) to be able to effectively counter Ludinus' 9th-level spell drop.
Funny, how all that worked out.
LAUDNA COMING IN CLUTCH WITH THE COUNTERSPELL LETS FUCKING GOOO
Travis describing Imogen as "the daughter of Ludinus's coworker" and I cannot unsee how Ludinus would be right at home in a modern corporate office setting and be just as insufferable. Upper management. The pontificating. Can you imagine this man slowly pacing the stage at a company Town Hall meeting talking about his vision to a captive audience of peons
fearne jumping into the lava after ashton and orym standing there like this for a full fifteen seconds 🙃
The whole CR table and every person watching at home when Laudna succesfully counterspells Ludinus fucking Da'leth casting a 9th level spell
