Christmas in May. We decided that we would make a mess at the studio instead of Matt and Murch's house for once. There's still a pile of cardboard from, I think, our past Christmas. I need to handle that. How to handle our yard first? How's that going? We fill up the trash bin or the yard bin. once a week.

Good times. Yeah. So in, in, in, in, in, it's just, it's just, We've got to send a lot of stuff over the last couple months, and we're aware we don't actually probably have time to open everything, but we're going to do our best to at least the crew has been generous enough to kind of figure out some interesting stuff and put it all together in sort of an order of interest.

It's terrible. It's not our call the Twitch stage. It's insanity. I know. This is true. I don't know where things end up once they land on that stage. We finally have a storage place to put our stuff in the show that. We now have a crate.

And that means I've been outside a lot more. Walking around, occasionally galloping after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit, you know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I got to say, looking a little bit sad. I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive. So that's why I wound up signing up for Fabletics as a VIP.

It let me overhaul my springtime outfits without obliterating my bank account. New VIPs unlock major savings on that first purchase, so trying new fits feels way more doable. When I signed up as a new VIP with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80% off everything. It made it easy to grab a few new pieces without overthinking it. And the quality really surprised me. Everything feels premium and soft and breathable,

but you're not paying those premium prices. What I like most, though, is how versatile everything is. You've got stuff you can work out in, but also wear out. There's matching sets, lightweight hoodies, joggers, teas, you name it. The kind of stuff you can throw on in the morning and not worry about later. When I'm at home, my favorite thing to pull on is the oversized hoodie. It's so comfy I could just live in it 24-7. It's perfect for walking my dog on like a chilly night.

But what I'm out and about, I've really been loving the ribbed Johnny Collar polo. It makes me look like I should be taking a high-powered meeting by the pool at the White Lotus, but hopefully with less murder involved. I don't know. It's insanely comfortable. I highly recommend it. So shop now at fabletics.com slash critical role to get 70 to 80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP. Take a quick style quiz and be sure to select critical role when prompted to unlock your 70 to 80% off. This is a limited time offer, so don't wait.

Again, that's fablatics.com slash critical role for 70 to 80% off everything as a new VIP. And now, on to the show. Greetings, adventurers. Lately, I've been getting a bit more intentional about what I wear from day to day, because instead of just falling out of whatever laundry baskets nearby, I've been leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together because it just makes getting dressed simpler when I have a plan. Quince has been my go-to to help with that, because the fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean,

and everything just works without me needing to overthink it. And Quintz has all the wardrobe staples you need for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from just $34. They're lightweight, they're breathable, they're comfortable, your legs, and torso will thank you, and he will still look put together. And clean 100% Pima Cotton Tees with a softness, well, you've got to feel that to believe it, believe you me. Their pants also hit that same balance. They're relaxed, they're comfortable, but still polished enough to wear basically anywhere.

And everything's priced between 50 and 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen so you're getting premium materials without the markup. And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees, I spruced up my wardrobe with a pair of the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants, and the Heritage washed denim shirt. Not only do they feel great, but I unequivocally look good as hell while wearing them. That's just science.

These are her own patterns. Matt, I am working on a special one for you, which will come at a later time. So special. It's made of gravy. I don't know what that means. I don't know why it was so funny what it was. It's been a long couple weeks. We're going crazy.

When you say long couple weeks, do you mean 104 of the ones? Thank you so much for Randy. Okay, ready. What's that? Here's Scanlon Shortholks. Oh, yeah. Trinket on a bonsai. Oh.

Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the pity chuckle. Denise, Denise also capable of rolling a 43 on stealth. Every week. All right, bitches. Do you want to open the coconut and lichy, the salted caramel and vanilla? That's my top choice. Or the black forest.

I think salted caramel is really good too, though. Black forest or salted caramel? Dark chocolate and cherry. Or salted caramel. That's a rough choice. You pick. I used to do these. Your choice.

You have to decide. There we go. There we go. That's a good. Is that your final answer? That's the final answer. Remember that show? Okay, we'll put this one.

Oh, God. What's in here is cool, but I want to see if there's a name anywhere. No. I'm gonna be an adult now and do a Tim Tam slam. Maybe buried underneath the box. Out of red line. This is happening. Oh, God.

There we go. That's amazing. I like that. We're doing that. Thank you, Shonzie. Thank you so much. Oh, man. I'm on a back. I haven't had a sugar snack in weeks. Dude, me neither.

All right. Do we just pick one? I don't know. Surrounded by hot final figures. This looks like something. Tam-Tam. Sure, I'll take this one, whatever this one is. Tam-Tams.

Tam-Tams. If they're, wait, I don't, I can't tell. It's from Mark Ball at Crofts. This is for Bax and Percy. Oh, of course. This is from Marisha. Ooh, ooh. Thank you.

Hi, Matt. Lately I've been having nightmares. My dreams you're playing the new Mansions and Madness expansion, but with unpainted figures or even worse, sometimes professionally painted figures. These minis just don't match up to the amateurish paint job that I did on the course set. I don't want to live in a world where you have to play Mansion Madness with Miss. Oh, oh, you think you guys send the actual original set with the painted minis? Which I still use. Oh my God!

And donated $50 to the Nature Conservancy under the name for Marisha Ray. Oh, thank you guys. Which is fantastic from Mark Ball. That's incredible. Mark, it's amazing. Thank you, Mark. And the new Beyond the Threshold, Manchin's Madness expansion. Oh my God. Oh, my, wow.

Oh, my, baby minutes! Oh, I'm so happy. Oh, wow. Oh, these are so... You make me a happy man, Mark. That's awesome. I really want to play now. Oh, I stepped on a lot.

We haven't messed with this expansion. This is new to the second edition. Oh, this new expansion? Yeah. Oh, the newest one? Oh. I love that. This is all stuff we haven't played yet.

So this is from Lisa. She said one of her customers brought in to selling consignment. And she said they're pretty much the coolest Earth elemental mini she thinks she's ever seen. And she thought we could put them to good use. So let's see here. What you get, Lisa?

Oh, those are sick. Oh, look at that. Elementals. Oh, that's amazing. I've seen you do that. There's one. I'm going to put you, you have the other minis. Oh, slick.

Hmm. Oh. This is amazing. This is amazing. I love the green gems to get. It's shining. I just go to put this from her hands. I'm sorry.

No, it's good. Here. I'm trying to use like, You can kind of see a little bit backdrop now. This is really hard. It's really hard to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I find it every week like does the thing with the wormwood and I can't, it's hard. That's awesome.

That's so cool. Lauren G. Myers sent Talison and I, Skullcasts. Yep. Wow. Wow. Thank you so much. That's really, really cool.

Are you gonna make a... I don't know. I'm definitely going to do something exciting. I'm not, yeah, something exciting is going to happen. Yeah, I might be able to do something with this soon. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Tapp my microphone like a terrible problem. Oh. Yeah, thank you so. Oh. This will be added into something fun. What is? Oh. Man, I recognize these.

It looks like there's another round. Oh my God. Oh my God. Screw those bastards. There's two. Oh, there's two. Oh, what are these? Oh, what are these?

Oh, a little unicorn! Let's see, because we already got the first round. I took the white one last time. She said sorry for her crappy writing that her two-year-old was demanding her attention at the time of writing this. Dearest Matthew Mercer and Marisha Ray. It's all for you. Having watched the villainous box, or the voxmachina, uh, methodically, hang now, wait.

Oh, destroy the dragons, therefore. Right, hang on. Oh, she wanted us to have a complete set. Oh, that's so sweet. And... It's so much work! She knew I didn't, knew I didn't want to give up Reishon to Patrick, which I still haven't yet.

haven't yet. So that we could actually give the original to Patrick and that I can have a second, Raichon. This is amazing. I can't believe that you went through all of this again. Does it say that we have to give

the Pegasus to somebody specific? Or does it say that if you're at the opening of the Crimance Presence and you really like the pink Pegasus, you can have it. Fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's yours. an alicorn to represent Gilmore.

Oh, Bruchamp. That's amazing. Oh wow. How's that reading for you? And the, and apparently the, wait, gray elephant. Wait, there's a great dragon. Hmm. Oh, Joe, we're missing a great elephant.

Right, also the great elephant. is for Talasin is right? That does say. It does, I think it does. And why in Blender Bus away from becoming a quarterman? That's pretty cute. Nice. Highly entertained.

Anyway, thank you so much, Stacy. These are all Stacey and Glenn. Thank you. Thank you. We will read your letter in detail later. This one doesn't say who it's from unless it's from the company FieldNotes brand, But it's a bunch of little field notebooks,

and I can only believe that somebody wants the rest of us to take the heat off Marisha and start taking notes. Yep, yep. Just not as good as Marisha takes. Well, we kind of have, like, you know, pillars. I promise I will be nottaker next campaign. You're good as a notaker.

You do take really detailed treasuring notes. Yeah, you do take detailed treasury notes. We're all going to do like the opposite of what we did. So I'm going to use my brain. Super detail. You know. There you go. All right, we have a bunch of things.

presence here from it looks like at ACL underscore Teen Killa. That sent a bunch of bags of varying skull splitter dice. What? Like different colors and types so you can, Lori, you can tear through as many to your heart's content of various dice sets. Laura doesn't get them all. All for me. No, we have two large bags. If you guys have plenty, we can go through and distribute. Send them down before Bailey steals them all. I'm going to put over here. And a letter that I'm not going to say, because these nudging things that you players need to remember anyway. Here's a wonderful present from Kristen and Brad.

And I'm going to read this letter because it's short and it's perfect. Hold on some bylar. Sorry. Okay. I don't know what that is. I'll eat it. We figured you guys were getting tired of looking at potion types all the time. So we made these super awesome bottles for you to use on your adventures. One set for each table. Each bottle contains the appropriate number of deep.

I was literally working on. Rating from Common to Supreme, good luck and keep being awesome, Kristen and Brad. Yup. Kristen and Brad are super duper cool. And super rad. And by the way, I don't, have we ever had a Supreme Healing potion?

Yeah. We have with 20 D4s. 20 D4s? That's. That's, 20 D4s. Yeah, Superior 8, Supreme 20. Oh, I don't know. We've never had a supreme.

I'll double check. I have been working on putting one of these together and now I don't have to it's very pleased. Oh, that's so cool. Oh shit. Have some, oh God. Oh, no. Bailar, no.

I don't know who this came from. Have some bylar. That's numb. But this is a journal, it's a leather journal and they got Kaitiakie Stamped in it. Oh my god. What? You see him?

I think there's probably. I think I saw a mark back there. Oh my god, that's awesome. Is that spelled right? Is that how you spell Pai-Tiwake? That is the official Maori. What are you done? Oh, wow.

I changed it a little bit originally, but that's the original spelling, so it's accurate. That's amazing. The green ones don't taste as good as the pink ones. I have a present for us here from Derek Wilson. Cart underscore exists. He sent some customized coasters, two for each of us. Some of the quotes you might remember, they stand out, like Scanlan,

You Spice. And Matthews say, how do you dur-da-dur? But some of them are lesser-known grogues, as I have the intelligence of six. I know what I'm doing. Keylet's says, we're all cows. Just embrace it. Percy's medium iconic. I'm in the pajamas with the butt flap.

The butt flap is down. Pike. This temple goes to a six. Vexes say, I'm going to attack it twice because I'm original. And Vaxa says, she's working for the Illuminati and we're basically the A team,

so I think she might know a little better. Thank you very much, Derek. Those are awesome. For you. Oh, thank you. Actually, they're not. They're for Grog. I don't know what we should do it here.

Actually, I've got a thought. We should, well, I'll show one of them just like so they get the notion of it. Although I think Kila might be. Okay, I found the right note. So at ACL underscore Team Kila, it's actually from Sweden. It's a greeting from Sweden. And this is a box of their love and glory of grog. So most of these gifts are for grog.

So the bag, too big bags of dice. Oh, he's not hairy. They're for Grog. There's a drinking horn in here. That's for Grog. That's for Grog. So I'm going to put those in here, and you can bring this along to Travis and he can enjoy and distribute as he watches to see

kids. No, no, Travis said that anything that he got when he's not here, it goes to me. So I will take those home. Oh, and I got it. Oh. He gave me metal dwarven dice as well. Awesome. It's fantastic. That is really really cool. Oh, my gosh. Yes. More metal dice. This is from, hold on, I got to see who it's from. This is really cool. This is from Jay, Anthony, Pierre Pills. and the rest of the community, who sent, number one,

a fan fiction that I will definitely read that they say is phenomenal by Sarah Louise Harper. And also, this is so cool, I wish Sam was here, I'm opening his present for him, because I like opening things. What? What? It's a rap for his giant mug. Whoa! That is incredible.

Look at the leatherwork on that! I know. Amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. Never ever. What a shame. He said he made it before he realized Saganlan was gone.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. How cool is this? This is for you. That's bad. Little holders too. And this is for you. Insane.

Where's this little mug? Is it over here? Let me check. I'll get it. I'm going to do this and hopefully not make a mess. Oh wow. We've lost Matt. The mug, oh yeah, the mug's probably

in the, yeah. Oh, that's awesome. John and Deb O'Brien sent a copy of one of their favorite bands for us to listen to. So thank you so much, John and Deb. And then, oh, I see what you're doing. We have to put it on.

So he'll have it in the next show when he finally brings this mug out again. This is a gift. Oh my God. That's amazing. That's so cool. We're not gonna tell about it. No, just we'll just show up and have it.

Oh man. That's amazing. This one, this one's for you, I believe. Oh, that's for Liam. I keep doing that one around. I don't have anything. Take that one. I'll take it.

Oh, as I get in the way. Okay, Matt, this is from Beth Sleven. Sleven? Sleven. Beth's 11? From Joseph. We need to remember it's from Joseph. She sent us something in a diapers box.

Dikers! I don't know if that's... Maybe because she's... I think she's sick and tired of us getting up in the middle of the game. Message, message received. That will be the last time you saw any of us get up in the middle of the game. Ah! That was...

Excuse me. What? What? What? Check his sound. That's ridiculous. What? Oh my god.

That is fantastic. Oh my god. All their t-shirts and this is the best one. Look at that. Oh. That is. Go jogging in that shirt. Yeah, okay.

Oh, my. This is from Irish Mike. Two Talasin to conquer your fear. You must face it. Stay beautiful. And I got a bag of Swedish fish. I fear these, but not for the same reason. Thank you.

Thank you very much. That is fantastic. I'm going to be in trouble when I bring these home. Oh, oh, that's so exciting. This is right on service. We have a cool of them lives where many of my kin live. I want to put it on there. Oh.

Aha. Okay, so Beth wrote a letter to Matt and I, but the gift is for Liam. Beth is thanking us for the game. She says, Inclos is a in this box is a handmade gift for Liam. I began making it just after he defeated Thorac.

I thought it fitting that the slayer of Thorac should have one of the eggs. to keep as a trophy. What? There you go, bud. Oh, boy. Oh, dear. Oh, my gosh.

Elliot Co. All right. Incredible work, Elliot. That is amazing. Wow. I am so pleased with both. And that's so. One day at home.

I know I want to move this before. One day at home. I'm just like, you know, I'll just make up some magic shop with some dude named Gilmore. Years later. Oh. I wish we had like a. That's amazing.

I know I kind of want to just fill up. I wonder if it'll fit in one of those boxes, like above Trigigiget's like. It's been big for one of those. We might be able to pop the, oh, I mean the crust of ching. Here, here. Gilmore can maybe go right there next to another. Gilmore.

Just Gilmore is world famous. I just want this in front of our house now. I know, right? You just couldn't get in your living room. I wouldn't blame me if you want to take it. Oh, man. Let's live on set for a little while at least, and then I might take it home.

Oh my god. It's all carved in. It's for Sam. It's really, really cool. What lunacy is this? But if this is something for Sam, Oh, yes please. Oh, yes, please.

Oh, my God, so many critters were involved in this. So many. Which is this? Like, this is a list of critters involved in making of this kit. Oh, wow. Are this the quilts? Yeah. This is for Sam.

We should show it on air, right? Oh, I feel like Sam should be the one that opens it up. that opens it up though. It's his quill? But like don't we want to acknowledge the work put into this? Maybe we can give it to him on Thursday. Okay. Okay. Because I love mine. God, I recognize so many names on this list. Oh God. Yeah, we'll bring it out to what we'll do. We'll bring it on Thursday.

That's okay. Oh, yeah, sure. All right, let's look at the land. Oh, yeah, read the card. Read the card. Oh, this is adorable. They put Risha on here, which I haven't been called Risha, since it's like high school.

That's incredible. Yeah, that's cool. All right. There once was a DM called Matt. He could swap characters at the drop of a hat. His city he burned, but his stress was returned, and his story never once fell flat. Aw.

That's so cute. Read, read, read. What can I say about lovely Laura? Her friends in the fandom adore her. Her comics are quick, her winks are slick. There's not a soul alive that abores her. Oh. If you read that sarcastically,

Absolutely fine. Marisha, a word to the wise. There are those in the world who despise. Rise above the hate, spread love to relate, or just crush them with your strong as heck thighs. That's amazing. Is that a feat you took? Strong thighs?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tudely thighs are the air. Who are these from? It's hard to write rhymes. about Talison, wild imagination, he's boundless in. The true executive goth with words, he's no sloth, but his deeds you can find no malison. That's so cool.

I could think of a few. I could think of a few too. That's great. There once was a swell guy named Liam. Many players just wanted to be him. He often played risky, but never played briskly to his haters. Come on, it's a game.

That's a, yeah. No, seriously, it's like for death. It's not to be joked about. This is Dungeons and Dragons. Thank you so much, V. This is so cute. This is from V. V.

Dahn, jan, jan. Oh, these things here. Are there more? You have so many more boxes. I just like making Max Deuce. Actually, I'm getting a little warm. I know, right. I know.

I was okay. And then I realized, I was okay. And then I realized, oh. No, no, I'm cooking a little bit. Okay, what's on a little? This is from Lightning Source, The Book of... What?

What is it? What? The fifth edition game supplement, The book. The Book of the Tarasque. What is, oh no, that's the scary guy, right? No, no, he's fun. He's a teddy bear of D&D.

Is that the big scary figure that I saw at your house? No. He's lying, Laura, he's lying. That one you mean? Yeah, that one. Oh, that's so cool. It's like a... It's like a Tarasque Coloring Book slash Adventure Module.

Oh my god, this book is so cute, it's so awesome! Why do you... With a Ford by Ed Green one. Yeah, baby. It's coffee. Got some... ...forgotten realms blood in this. No who from?

We get mystery coffee? Mystery coffee? Someone sent Shozzo Fine Quality coffee. There we go. Maybe there's weed in there. That's how people... There we go. Seen weed. You didn't hear that from us. Sorry guys. I just had heard that on the internet. I'm genuinely excited. I'm genuinely excited because the base rules for the tarasca in fifth edition are all right, but like there are some cool elements of the tarasque from previous editions that didn't make it in. This has a whole separate page for optional tarasque rules, which include things like it's tiered regeneration, which I kind of missed. What? And other cool elements, the rush that, oh my god, trampled. Oh, I'm so excited. I don't like that.

He's so cool. I don't know this book existed. I'm so happy. Who sent this? I don't know who sent this. I don't know who sent this. This is from Lightning Source, I guess. No, is that the book that's...

Congratulations, the adventure that spanned nearly a year, taking our intrepid heroes across the planes of existence to the very threshold of death's door and back has finally come to an end and closed as the mounted head of the final member of the Chroma Conclave

to fall to the valiant fox machina, Rishon, the deceased deceiver. This is so cool. What an adventure this has been. This little undertaking started just as a fun project to work on with my sister and thank you all for the wonderful work that you do to bring this amazing story to so many, but it quickly turned into something much more important than that.

It was a spark that reignited my passion for my craft and rekindled my love for the wonderful shared storytelling experience of Dungeons and Dragons. And for that, I can't thank you enough. With the death of the final member of the Chroma Concordeaux. Oh, what she's so. Wow. Wow.

Look at the. Look at the. disease. All the difference. I love that they're to scale. You just gotta, like, lance those. Wow, you just gotta lance them, you know. Sometimes you gotta go to the doctor even if it's too big,

but you just gotta get up. Do it at home with like a pencil. You know, it's satisfying. You gave me that mirror. Oh no, oh no. Yep. With the death of the final, that's just scary. Don't do this.

It's like a skeck. It's like a skecky. With the death of the final member of the chroma conclave, it brings this wonderful project and my own adventure to a close. It has been a truly incredible experience to be able to share my sisters and my talents with you all and with the amazing critters. We now embark to find our next project and see where that will take us. If I could make one request, when you get all of the mounts hung, could you get a picture of the set, please? Oh, don't worry. That would make me and my sister two very heavy critters.

Oh, don't worry. I love in the back, it's written here. How do you want to do it? Kerrick, 127, 2017. They signed it, and they have weathered the iron storm, starved the hope devourer, thawed the frigid doom, eradicated the deceased deceiver, and extinguished the cinder king. They are vox mocking. Wow. That is hot. How cool is that? Also, it says, Leanne, the officer still stands. Do you know what this is? If you were your kids with like a custom trophy mount to commemorate their victory over a mighty foe, they'd be happy to send one your way. I'll take that.

You are one of my favorite villains. Yeah. So far. I was hoping you'd live to the next campaign. Oh, too bad Vox. I'm going to killed you. Yay. Yeah.

That's okay. It was a fitting end. We saved thousands. Wow. You did in the long run. You did. Wow. How cool is that?

Check it out. How heavy is it? It's pretty light. Oh, that is so light. The Thorax is a big heavy one. Yeah. I love that they're all kind of to scale. Yeah, within their own.

Wow, I can't wait to see all of them hung up next to each other. I know. Also, I can't wait. I hope to live to see that after civilization falls, you guys trick out your Mad Max car with five dragon heads on it. Don't you even worry. I feel like these are just too fragile to be in a car fight. Well, if we all have shotguns, we'll keep the attacks away.

Not fighting with the dragon heads. They're just an intimidation tactic. No, I'm saying, but they're hanging on the front of your Mad Max car. They're going to get damaged. one of the fireplaces. Yeah. We'll figure it out. But they'll be witnessed. They will be.

They will be in the game. Shhh. Yeah. We're nice. They can put them on the opposite wall in the Oh, is there. Where should I put this so it doesn't get damaged? This?

This is going on. Well, let's. Well, no, no. I'm thinking now that we have all the heads, and if we get the new set finished, we might put them all up in the new set. There's the new set. There's the wall as well.
