Caught up on last week's episode: really good! I appreciate how Ashton keeps surviving things they should not survive. They should mess with the table positions more often since it seemed to give everyone a little juice.

A solid, tense episode. Hilariously, Team Demolition did the most infiltration-oriented things, while Team Infiltration had the most combat.

I think going for the revive is a mistake, since she for sure has the anti-revive toxin that she's probably hitting everyone with.

Yeah, honestly, revive seems like a bad call - Chet won't be able to continue to fight if he gets revivified! He'll just go down again!

He'll just go down again! he hits just as hard at one hp and can absorb 3 of her attacks per round, if otohan only downs him with one hit, FCG can just bring him back up with a healing word bonus action. DnD action economy is key here.

That was both incredible and unequivocally (once Mercer allowed it, because of course any GM worth his salt would allow it; I wouldn't even have made him roll) the right play. FCG was dead in a round anyways. Everyone in the party was probably dead in two or three, tops. Masterful MVP moment.

Yeah my guess is either the damage went completely through or narratively he just chucked that poo poo. Because as you say, any real DM would accept such an iconic and heroic moment. I don't think C3 has been fantastic but that certainly was one for the history books. Another great thing is Sam might have saved Liam's character from Nana Morri.

lol giving that NPC, of all NPCs, a healing potion better than the best one in the vanilla game is particularly rude

It seems pretty late in the campaign to try and spin up a cold spare sheet. I wonder if they bring in a temporary guest for a while. Comedy option - vox machina have made it through the portal and Scanlan gets separated somehow.

My main concern is that absent FCG they're really low on healing. Fearne can heal, technically, but that's basically it?

So I fell off a few months ago, just taking a break from the show. Until today when I decided I wanted something to listen to podcast style while doing stuff. Man, I picked a hell of a week to pick this back up, didn't I?

Watching it again, I think that the coolest thing about Sam's Gambit at the end of that episode was that it was clear nobody else at the table aside from Matt had any idea he could do that. Also, there is nothing I want more for them to meet a new NPC about halfway through the next episode and then hear Sam say "DOTY 2.0, WRITE THIS DOWN!!!" just to troll Laura and then reveal Sam's actual new character.

Not sure that's true, as the turn previously both Travis and Laura look at Sam and ask him "can you detonate?" Maybe they weren't imagining this outcome, though. That was a very close combat until near the end; I'd say that things took a bad turn when Ashton opted to push Otohan, which allowed her to exploit her movement without triggering bunches of attacks of opportunity because she was no longer surrounded. They needed to neutralize her mobility advantage by forcing her to take 2-4 attacks every turn if she moved; forcing her to concentrate attacks on the fighting types while protecting the casters was key, especially given the special ability of her off-hand weapon. Ashley's insistence on running adjacent to her didn't help, either. With the hound and Ashton's rage power, getting advantage was happening often enough without needing everyone surrounding her, and for the second phase of that combat the key point was to control who she could attack at any given time. Those Mass Cure Wounds were also good, as they were pretty much "heal enough for the PCs to take six more hits across everyone." The other lesson here is that the PCs didn't focus enough on buying healing potions. A few Superior Healing potions with Matt's "bonus action to drink" rule might have been enough to turn the battle.

He was like, "I want to be careful not to blow up your arcane core." Then later when they rescued Imahara Joe, Orym blew up all those arcane cores and it hosed up all the Paragon's Call in the area.

I knew from the title alone that someone was going to die. I think that's one reason why I put off watching it, even re-watching episode 90 again. That was a solid episode, and a good way to go. Beautiful speeches by Sam. A better way to go than many of the other characters who died for real. Some people say that Bells' Hells could have played better, and maybe they could have, but they had just done two earlier missions, which went kinda okay (taking 80 damage from the explosion hurt a lot), and they managed to largely get away from the enemies and evade the search - and there was going to be a lockdown and search, and made their best efforts to get away. At some point, there's just not much you can do, and dealing with a level 20 fighter which gets FOUR Action surges, a heal of at least 50% health, and resistance to all attacks just had a small margin for error. The team played the opening perfectly, taking the backpack out of play immediately.
