Kord: Are you afraid?

Crokas: Y-y-yes.

Kord: Will you flee?

Crokas: Would it help?

Kord: (laughs, then sighs) You are tired -- from carrying yourself? Is it your own weight, or the weight of another that has tired you so?

Crokas: (motions to the children he's been carrying)

Kord: That is what strength is for.

Better that a soul feed someone than be thrown away

I was re-watching A Crown of Candy and noticed something (spoilers):

In Episode 3, when Ruby is inside the carriage after the ambush, she casts Prestidigitation to clean the blood off her flyer. Calroy Cruller reaches in and grabs her hand to interrupt the cast. Brennan described it as "swashbuckler dexterity" that allowed him to do that.

Rogues don't have an ability to react to spell casts like that. Swashbuckler subclasses don't either.

You know what grants that ability? The Mage Slayer feat:

When a creature within 5 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.

Brennan threw a red flag out there so early. Holy shit.

critical role has made me cry a lot over the years but it’s certainly never happened before i even fully knew who the characters were, much less cared about them.
