Watching Percy's funeral, all I can think about is one quote (which if you don't know the context can sound kinda weird): ,,I cast decompose" - (Tbf even WITH context this line sounds so ,,morbid")

Dreanner95

I don't know if you are talking about anything about the main campaign this show is based on but the only one who actually died in this show before last episode was Vex. And Critical Role was pretty clear that while this show is based on the campaign, they treat it as its own thing which mean they will change big stuff if it seems to be better for the show.

You people just can’t help yourselves can you?

,,Thordak is your destiny" - Vax: You know who I'm serving right? (But seriously, Raishan's words - that line in particullar - was her way of letting Vax to lower his guards) And ,,Near death and certain death are quite different" - Vax: You won't say?

Dreanner95

Also it was made pretty clear during Vex's resurrection that it was difficult and the only reason it worked was because Vax bargened his life for his sister's.

Percy: is still dead Elijah: wait no that's illegal

One thing to clarify is Keyleth never actually died. She was at death's door due to Delilah's spell but Vax and Scanlan managed to save her after Vax mimiced what she did to revive Cassandra. So far the only 2 main character to have actually die at this point were Vex and Percy. Though characters frequently die in the campaign, they wanted death to carry more weight in the show.

Dragon0921

4:00 - The "raving mystic" is modelled after Taliesin Jaffe, Percy's VA. 7:56 - There's a time limit for how long someone can resurrect someone. They only managed to save Vex'ahlia because Vax made a bargain for her soul with the Matron; he only managed to do that because he was Fate Touched. Percy unfortunately didnt have that luxury. 19:44 - That's actually Troy Baker, probably best known for voicing Joel from The Last of Us but hes been in A LOT of projects. 24:39 - Larkin is an alias Raishan used in the campaign as well, only then she disguised herself as an old dwarven man. The disguise was so convincing that Liam O'Brian (Vax's VA) didn't even realize it was meant to be Raishan for a while.

Vex's and Vax's dad is voiced by Troy Baker, who also voices Joel in the Last of Us game :)

Dreanner95

Yeah, even before this episode the Critical Role Cast made clear that they want death to mean something in the show. Sometimes that means not having characters die when they died in the Campaign (like Grog, who actually died due to Craven Edge instead of loosing his muscles) and if characters die and come back, there will be consequences, like Vax taking on the mantle of champion of the Raven Queen to save Vex in Season 2. And sometimes characters just stay dead.

Yeah, it's going to keep punching us in the fucking guts. ... De-Nile? Seriously? 😋

Vex's speech to Syldor was really powerful and, in my opinion, probably one of Laura's best performances in the show so far! The sheer amount of emotion conveyed is incredible <3

LikeCat

@Dreanner95 Me reading your comment while listening to ,,My Friends by Oh Wonder": I... Don't know what to think. 😈

The Denial is strong with this one.

Just two points of correction: 1) The players in Critical Role knew from the beginning their characters could die permanently. For them, if it makes a good story, it's worth it, and they want the heartbreaking emotions just as much as the joyous ones. At the end of each campaign, they're all overwhelmed with tears, because the journey covers so many different emotions. All the players remain the same, so Taliesin will return. When, how and as who, we have to wait and see. What I will say, is we've already seen characters perma-die in the show who survived in the campaign: Archie from Whitestone in S1, and the sphynx Kamaljiori in S2. Sam Riegel is also a writer on the show, and he's particularly worked to up the death toll in the series. So yeah, all bets are off, and watching this season, I was particularly thrilled by all the curveballs it throws us! 2) Troy Baker voices Vex & Vax's dad, not Matt. He voiced Captain Grime in Amphibia. Otherwise, I knew that in spite your denial, the emotions would get to you. Laura Bailey absolutely nails her performance as grief-stricken Vex. This is a MAJOR part of her character arc, and you can feel that seismic shift in her. Very excited for next reaction! Thanks so much!

the good news is that LoVM drops in 3ep batches so this was only the second ep of this batch so we did not have to wait long to resolve this plot line... the bad news is that there is a lot of pain to come. Stay strong E.

Solus

I gotta say that Percy's death in the campaign hit a lot harder than in the show, at least for me, I think all the good and bad stuff that happens in the campaign is like that for me, the emotions hit harder than the show does because it is raw emotions from the cast, again this is just my views on it.

Rupert Anderson Jr

So far in the show, Vex and Percy are the only ones to have actually died. Keyleth was close to death in season 1, but was healed in time. In the campaign the player characters have died more often, but when your at a high enough level in DnD death is a minor inconvenience.

Kaylin Ashe

How they portray the resurrection mechanic is something I actually think is quite clever about the way they wrote this show. Normally, dnd deaths are just kinda meh once you’re past level 5 or so (when the revivification is available). But in the show coming back from the dead has required a lot of effort and/or sacrifice to pull off. While it might have looked like Vex came back without too much fuss, bringing her back required Vax to fundamentally and permanently alter the course of his life by becoming the Raven Queen’s champion and taking on all of the responsibilities that comes with. For Percy to come back, it would involve something equally harrowing, which I won’t spoil lol

Tall Geeky & Cool

So are we going with Keyleth was only "mostly dead"?

Dragon0921

More like inches away from death before Vax and Scanlan healed her.

Tall Geeky & Cool

I still consider Laura’s two speeches in this episode to be the high point of the series’ acting so far. Her emotional breakdown with Vax—centered on everything left unsaid—as well as her confrontation with her father in Syngorn, were both masterful. If the team doesn’t submit at least one of those performances to nominate Laura for a voice acting award, I honestly don’t know what would qualify.

Ryan

A whole desk full of shit that you don't need, eh? If only someone would... clean it? Me? A nerd!? ...yeah. Take a shot for every time Elijah is in denial about Percy being dead. *chug chug chug* Well, you were right! The team will be re-united. Because they'll all be together when they're dead!

Rachel Mae

Look im gonna assume good faith and I know what you’re referring to so I understand why you’re not thinking of it as spoilers but please consider when leaving a comment if the thought includes **anything** from “later on” that it should be considered a spoiler. Even if you think you’re being vague just don’t. Keep the comments limited to stuff in the episodes that have been reacted to already

Gabi

Two things: 1) Vex is the only one who has died in the show of the main group. The only reason she was brought back was because Vax gave himself over to the Raven Queen to bring her back. Percy, as unfortunate as it is, doesn't have that luxury. 2) Laura Bailey's voice acting in this episode was PHENOMENAL. I could not stop crying through her scenes, especially the speeches made in the presence of Vax and her father, Syldor. I've always loved her voice acting, but the raw emotion in these moments just absolutely blew my mind on an entirely different level. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the reaction and I'm looking forward to the next one!

LikeCat

I believe that right before Raishan steped in to ,,rekindle their deal" with Vax, he was about to go on a little ,,soul searching"/ talk to the Matron. Before that he had that vision/ nightmare (which as you pointed out, and in my opinion as well) which well yes it WAS the Matron, but both thanks to his powers/ connection is enhanced by his inate fears (not still fear of death nor her I believe) but still enough to ,,weaken" her messege to him.

Fobbles

Wym? Percy died last episode

Fobbles

Ooooo and it’s Thordak with the UNORTHODOX decision to LEAVE HIS LAIR for the attack. A substantial drop in power for anyone in the know on dnd monsters… but a total blindside move to anyone else!
