LAURA: Whoa, that was fast!
MATT: I know, we went through them fast.
LAURA: I didn’t even sort my dice yet!
MATT: No new cons or events. So with that, let’s
dive into tonight’s episode of Critical Role.
[upbeat music]
MATT: Welcome back. Last we left off, this
intrepid band of slowly converging individual
stories into some semblance of an adventuring
party have found themselves caught up in an
investigation. There was a carnival you attended,
which Mollymauk was a part of, that had a terrible
scenario occur. An older man who was at the
carnival had been transformed in the middle of a
performance into some horrible undead creature
that attacked and assaulted other people within
the tent. You defeated it and since have all been
under investigation and been told you can’t leave
the town. To try and absolve yourselves of any
sort of doubt, you’ve begun to investigate what
the cause is for this strange transformation.
You’ve gone around the town asking questions,
meeting individuals, eventually finding yourselves
back at the tent in the middle of the night, past
midnight, in the early hours of the morning,
sneaking into tents and asking members of the
carnival what they may know about what has
transpired. Upon speaking with a number of members
of the carnival, two of the guards that were on
site suddenly fell dead where they were standing,
writhing in pain as they passed. You watched as a
large shadow, which you had confirmed being
fiendish in nature, leapt northward towards the
Ustaloch and out of sight as both Fjord and Caleb
rushed out of the main tent to see the center of
the camp where these two bodies begin to rise up,
two more of the freshly transformed undead
creatures now angered and looking about for
something to feast upon. And that was where we
left off.
TRAVIS: Totally good.
SAM: No problem with our setup.
LAURA: That was the third spell, by the way.
Detect Good and Evil.
MATT: Okay, there you go. So how many spells do
you have left?
LAURA: No spells. I’ve got cantrips though, so
don’t worry, guys.
MATT: Well–
TALIESIN: No burger left. Just onion rings.
LAURA: Just the fried piece. Not even an onion
left in there.
MATT: I would like you all to roll initiative,
please.
TRAVIS: Oh, right off the bat?
MATT: Yeah!
