I Am What It Says, Critical Role trash

So do I watch the second half live and then watch the first half before work Friday?

Do I just wait til Saturday and watch the whole thing?

Will I be completely lost if I jump in halfway through?

Will I be able to concentrate on work tonight and not be thinking about CR the whole time?

NGL, I considered calling out from work tonight but I am a responsible adult (sometimes) and I’m not doing that.

He got a gear from the artificer, a thread from the monk, made it into a necklace, and cast continual flame on it and gave it to the firbolg fighter (the only one without dark vision) so she would always have a light source that has a piece of all the rest of the party. I’m just.... 😭😭😭 that is so fucking sweet and cute I almost died.

I just ran the first real session of a Wildemount campaign for my group. I’m starting with the Tides of Retribution adventure and already have a decent idea of where I want to take the story based on the characters’ backstories and my own desire to not retread what’s happening in CR. Thankfully only one of my players is a critter so for most of them this is a whole new world.

They made characters from all over the continent, so there’s a lot of diversity of personalities and world views.

One is a firbolg fighter who expressed interest in the Cobalt Soul and took the archeologist background, so that’s potential fun. She legit based her character on Indiana Jones and I am here for it. She’s super to the point and values hard work. She also loves solving puzzles.

One is a Pallid Elf monk who is searching out the Claret Orders (that’s the critter in the group who specifically wanted to give me things not covered yet in the show to play with, bless him). Not a lot from him RP wise yet since his character is fairly reserved, but now that they’ve been through their first major fight, he’ll hopefully start opening up more.

One is a Half elf artificer from Hupperdook with a wife back home who gave me permission to have her wife pressed into military service or kidnapped and tortured by the Cerberus Assembly for info about a book she has. She also has parents that disappeared right after they gave her this book called Secrets without Faith, which sounds like something the Assembly would have interest in right? Her parents are still alive, but the question is are they being held prisoner or did they escape somewhere? Who knows? I sure don’t lol. Personality wise she’s super awkward (that 8 Charisma lol) but very smart. It’s charming. Also this player is a teenager and asking me to emotionally torture her lol.

The last is a dwarf cleric from Uthodurn whose god has been giving him vague visions about evil breaking free, specifically a burning feather. I don’t know if he read the bit about the Phoenix but you KNOW we’re attacking that story. His character is also super laid back, fully believing that his god will lead him where he needs to be.

The cleric and the fighter have personalities that are completely at odds, but the two of them also have the same big goal of cleansing the Savalierwood, so that’s gonna be interesting.
