Episode 31: Trick of the Light

We return to tonight's episode of Critical Role. What a wild couple of episodes it's been. Hoy hoy!
Once again, we see that (in our previous episode) the heroes of Aramán have seen (after their various quests throughout the world of Aramán) returned to discover on this momentous night that there were three objectives in front of them:

  1. to spy on the great meeting of the Sundered Houses (to see if the House Tachonis could indeed be backed into a corner by all of the achievements of our heroes)
  2. to infiltrate Obrimus Manor (to rescue Thjazi's co-conspirator, Mara the Wing)
  3. to protect and ensure whatever magical goings-on were going to occur at this opening night of the play, "KoTher'ai", which (due to the machinations of forces both near and far) promised to be one of the most momentous, magical evenings in occurrence.
  • the Sundered Houses were successfuly spied upon
  • Mara the Wing has (to our knowledge) been at least momentarily rescued (not without great cost, though your characters do not know it, Teor Pridesire has left this world)
  • at our play, we see that paint rendered from an ancient River Styx, composed of blood (the Gavzidra), was painted by a young daughter of the families Lloy and Fan into the murals of a Hallowed Round that is indeed now hallowed (the story of Vokjan's revolution calling out to the souls of those orcish heroes captured in an afterlife that had been severed from this world (following the death of the gods) no more).

In addition to the most momentous magical discovery of the last 70 years (the fact that the Shapers' War did not destroy the afterlives) a hanging question that has haunted this world for 70 years and spurred the retribution and violence during the Ghost Wars and all manner of horrifying things. That question has been answered. Those souls are not lost. Perhaps souls never can be. Perhaps only lost for a time.
You also see that as those souls of orcish spirits cross the proscenium of the theater that they are rendered in celestial status. Here in this story being told by their descendants in this place of their heroism, they are filled with light. More than that, as the magic became unstable, we saw in the letter of this "professor" (some other co-conspirator of Thjazi Fang's). We saw in this letter of the professor "A Stable Trinity of Bridges". One Anchor, the Pariah Blade, now painted and held aloft as a symbol rather than just a sword, by young Shadia Fang, as a member of the chorus.
The paint rendered in the workshop of Tsul'rekshi into a series of murals depicting the great stories of the history of the Rungjani.
And the Stone of Nightsong (used here for its connection to Faerie) has just been sundered by a Sister of Sylandri, smashed apart, sacrificing a dream she has held for 70 years, because to seize that dream would be at the detriment of these still-living people. What a choice Vaelus has made. She risked her life to do both. But only able to do one, she raised her censer on high, and in the city that we first met her coming to seek the Stone to return it, has chosen to destroy it.
Alongside Azune Nayar, speaking a word in Navika'an (the language of his people that he has not had much occasion to speak) saying, "Remember". That word spoken in Navika'an, the lost language of dragons.
As a dragon reared its head from Lake Nahami (a dragon that had been asleep, perhaps since long before even the Shapers' War) arose to take that shattered remnant of the Stone of Nightsong, push it into the ground, and create a cavern of moon crystal (much like the one that our Soldiers Table saw in Hawthorn's Glade). Where the forest of Tintazi meets Lake Nahami, an anchor to the spiritual energy of Faerie has been created (more powerful than any we have yet seen in the story we are telling). It is that anchor that stabilizes the connection between the afterlife of the Runjani (or the once-afterlife of the Rungjani, I should say) and the playhouse (The Hallowed Round) and by extension, all of the living world of Aramán.
For all of you. Murray! You see everything stabilize. Those tendrils reaching out. That connection has stabilized. I cannot begin to tell you all of your worst fears of what was going to happen tonight (the reason that you had a hundred Magpies in the wings, all of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the-dead-pour-forth chaos and ruin)? I had all of my notes ready for that to happen if you went home with your family, and instead those bridges stabilized.
However, Hal and Thaisha (and Murray as well) you see that while the connection is stabilizing (which means that the planes don't come unfurled and the dead don't pour forth into living Dol-Makjar). The living world of Aramán is fine, the people here are watching a nice play, but you see that same sense of crisis on the other side still unfolding (of the spirits feeling panicked). Their celestial status is wavering as they cannot tell whether they should walk the Path or stay and defend this place (and I think you both see paint still bubbling up as raw, untapped, magical energy that seems to require what paint perhaps always requires, which is direction and intention).
For those of you here, we will begin, first of all, with a little bit of business. Hal, you need to roll hit points.
The second act of the play commences. And this is the act, by the way (because the end of the first act ends on a high note) which if the first act ends on a high note (oh no, we're watching a tragedy! because it's setting up for the fall in the second act), and we see that this is what begins to happen (the story of Vokjan MUrzat being betrayed by those close to him to the priests of Azgra) and as the story commences, it becomes harder and harder.
Turning it over to Hal here for a second, what do we see in that second half of the play as it begins to unfold?

Campaign 4: Every New Character & Their Actor

CRITICAL ROLE CAMPAIGN 4: Every New Character & Their Actor

article by Rotem Rusak

Critical Role‘s Campaign 4 is just around the corner. The fourth core chapter of the beloved TTRPG actual play series is on the way, and this time, it will be helmed by Brennan Lee Mulligan—yes, for the first time in 10 years, Matt Mercer won’t be the game’s Game Master, he’ll be in the player’s seat. Of course, he’s not the only one. Critical Role recently revealed an all-star cast of season D&D players who would be taking a seat at Campaign 4‘s table. But who they would play remained a secret… Until now. Critical Role Campaign 4 has officially revealed the character name and official character art for each of its 13 cast members/players. Let’s take a look at all the new adventurers we’ll meet in Aramán.

In Critical Role Campaign 4, the characters will be divided into three groupsOpens in a new tab: the Soldiers, the Seekers, and the Schemers. In short, the soldiers are “are the people who are interested in a traditionally charged combat and conflict-driven story mode—where the non-violent answers were few and far between.” The Seekers are “people that tie directly into lore, cosmology, magic, big questions around problems facing this universe that are in the weave of the dance between divinity and arcane, and magic, and demons, and fairies, and dragons, and these big kinds of questions. It’s very classical fantasy.” And the Schemers are into “intrigue, espionage, skullduggery, and relationships with each other and other NPCs and instituations and the machinations of power. Their adventuring looks like cloak and dagger.”

We believe that the Soldiers will wear orange/red. The Seekers will wear blues and purples. And the Schemers will wear teal/green.


Matt Mercer Will Play Sir Julien Davinos. If we’re correct in our estimations, Matt Mercer’s character will be one of the soldiers. Sir Julien Davinos also appears to be a human fighter or maybe a rogue.

Travis Willingham will play Teor Pridesire. He seems to be a Leonin paladin or maybe a monk. We believe Travis Willingham’s character will be part of the Seekers.

Laura Bailey will play Thimble, who seems like she belongs to the Schemers group if her grin is anything to go by. We think Thimble is likely a fairy rogue.

Taliesin Jaffe will play Bolaire Lathalia. If you ask us, Bolaire Lathalia is Jigsaw from the Saw movies OR perhaps a changeling warlock, we’ll take either. Taliesin Jaffe’s character looks to be part of the Soldiers in Critical Role Campaign 4.

Ashley Johnson will play Vaelus, who appears to be a drow cleric or sorcerer. Ashley Johnson’s character looks like they belong to the crew of Seekers in Critical Role Campaign 4.

Liam O’Brien will play Halandil Fang. Halandil Fang is a future Tusk Love cover model and/or/plus a half-orc bard. We love him already. We bet Liam O’Brien’s character joins the Soldiers in Critical Role Campaign 4. He is giving Chris Pine in the Dungeons & Dragons movie.

Marisha Ray will play Murray Mag’nesson who appears to be a dwarven wizard or maybe a bard. We’d bet that Marisha Ray’s character will join the Schemers.

Sam Riegel will play Wicander Halovar who looks like a aasimar wizard or maybe a cleric. Sam Reigel’s character will most likely be a Schemer if his outfit has anything to say about it.

Luis Carazo will play Azune Nayar coming across as a human paladin and definetly a Soldier.

Robbie Daymond will play Kattigan Vale who looks like a human ranger or maybe a druid or barbarian. We’re into his vibes. We’re also into Robbie Daymond’s character seemingly being a Seeker.

Aabria Iyengar will play Thaisha Lloy who seems to be a half-orc sorcerer or warlock. Aabria Iyengar’s character looks like she’ll be part of the Soldiers in Critical Role Campaign 4.

Whitney Moore will play Tyranny who looks like a tiefling cleric or maybe something unexpected like a monk. We feel like Tyranny is absolutely a Schemer.

Alex Ward will play Occtis Tachonis. Occtis Tachonis reads like a human artificer/alchemist to us. We bet that Alex Ward’s character will be a Seeker based on their mystical-looking pets. These cuties could be his familiars or maybe homunculi. He could also be a reanimator artificier, one of the Unearthed Arcana classes from D&D.

Mighty Nein Fan Animation: The High Seas

The High Seas: Critical Role Short Animation Tribute

The story we've been waiting to share is finally here.

Today, we're proud to share High Seas, a fully animated tribute trailer inspired by Critical Role's Mighty Nein campaign.

Over the last six months, a team of student artists worked together through every stage of production, from concept art and storyboarding to animation and compositing. Along the way, they refined their craft and gained valuable experience working as part of a production team.

High Seas is a celebration of the characters, adventures, friendships, and unforgettable moments that made the Mighty Nein such a beloved story. It’s also a testament to the dedication of the artists who brought this tribute to life.

Thank you for watching and supporting the project.

⚓ Watch the trailer and join us on the open sea.
