Scanlan’s Magnificent Mansion

/

Anonymous asked: Scanlan’s mansion provides some of the funniest role play from the cast, as well as some of the best moments in the series. Could you list in which episodes Scanlan has cast his glorious mansion?

Scanlan’s house is a very, very, very fine house! It’s got all the chicken you could ever want (and then more chicken beyond that), a spa that can handle an explosion of raw sodium, a kitchen ripe for destroying, a deranged family photo hanging above the fireplace…who could ask for anything more?

Times the mansion has been used: 10

Hey guys, thanks for all your hard work! Out of curiosity, do you think you could count the Blindspot references in Critical Role? Sam made a Blindspot pun one episode and I about died.

Thanks! For future reference, we track ALL media-related references over here. Here are the Blindspot ones:

  • (Ep32, 1:18:17) Matt: You’ve been too busy, being in someone’s blind spot
  • (Ep48, 2:37:05) Scanlan: Starring Ashley Johnson: Blindsight.
  • (Ep48, 2:58:13) Sam: Ashley Blindside.  Travis: Blindspot.
  • (Ep59, 1:00:05) Sam: Let Pike get rid of this blind spot so we can all be together again!

As a parallel to “Times a member of Vox Machina has consumed something” you should do a “Times a member of Vox Machina has been consumed” e.g. Grog last session or Scanlan in the ice worm.

Luckily, there haven’t been many times where a member of Vox Machina was consumed by an enemy.

  • Scanlan (Ep39, 0:40:50) Purple Worm
  • Vax’ildan (Ep39, 1:22:34) Frost Worm
  • Vax’ildan and Scanlan (Ep54, 3:09:44) Umbrasyl (though technically they transported themselves into his stomach)
  • Grog (Ep62, 1:14:40) Feymire Crocodile

Birds of a Feather

Qui11iam asked: How many birds has the cast flipped over the course of the show?

While the rogue has definitely been responsible for the most “daggers” thrown, the rest of the cast has shown that they can throw their own fair share. 

Number of party birds: 51

Number of Liam birds: 24

Feywild Advice

/

Anonymous asked: What has the party been warned about in the Feywild and what advice have they completely ignored (from Gilmore, Garmelie, Mr. BadDad, Nala, etc)?

Advice Vox Machina has not ignored:

  • Garmelie: These are best to be avoided; they’re mandrakes. (Ep59, 2:55:50).
  • Tirelda: You’ll come upon [The Gilded Run] one way or another, unless you traverse the Green Sea, but that I would not recommend. (Ep60, 1:46:07).

Monster Analysis: Satyr

/

Thanks to @BrinMataujall for the art!

  • First Appearance: 59 The Feywild
  • Armor Class 14
  • Speed 40 ft
  • Magic Resistance, advantage on saving throws
  • Magical effect from musical instrument
  • Suggested average, max HP: 31, 56

Satyrs are universally hedonists, reveling in any form of ridiculous celebration they can participate in. They’ll gladly drink, dance, and play their way through life, completely heedless of the consequences inflicted on those around them as they rush to the next opportunity to party. They also delight in music, and many satyrs are able to induce various charming, sleeping, and fear effects in listeners with their melodies.

Garmelie shares much the same revelry as other satyrs, partaking in drink, low-brow (but still entertaining) caricatures, and fondness for his ocarina and protected objects. That said, some critters have pointed out that Garmelie has demonstrated that he’s much more powerful than the average satyr. When a 17 Wis Save fails a typically 13 DC (one that would usually be cast by means of an instrument and no subtlety), that speaks to a more powerful entity. The fact that he has never done a self portrait of himself (much to Percy’s interest) makes us wonder if the book and quill were really just sentimental objects, and if the satyr is really just any old satyr.

Garmelie chose the target of his Charm spell remarkably well. The half-elves’ Fey Ancestry and the gnomes’ cunning would have protected them from his influence, and no one would have considered making the deal had Grog tried to sell them on it. Percy’s human-ness and business-like stature provided the necessary weakness and in-group persuasiveness needed for the satyr’s side of the deal to be represented.

The deal itself is also a point of interest. Although the deal took place in the pocket dimension of the mansion, that dimension is still technically within the Feywild, where deals made carry more weight than they would in the Material Plane. Once the deal was made, Garmelie quickly demonstrated his willingness to keep up his end with a series of warnings. We wait with anticipation to see what unknown component Vox Machina committed themselves to for this information.
