critical role spoilers – Pass Through Fire

tal ain’t slick

farewell

Matt: We’ve known each other for a long time and we’ve played a lot of games together, and I want you in every game I play.

tanoraqui:

so. like. the au where they oneshotted all those ‘death knights” and charged past to Vecna, and then halfway through the fight, three black-armored figures troop through the doorway – can’t you just hear the cast all, “shit, more knights?” “Wait the ones on the stairs?” “Didn’t we kill these guys already?” “It’s Vecna. They’re probably undead. Pike, can you-”

And Vecna (Matt) just smiles, gestures, and the armored figures pull off their helmets. The first, shortest, a gnome with a pert nose and three dagger cuts in her armor, the third a slice through her throat that’s still bleeding sluggishly. (Sam, Scanlan, gasps; Liam looks queasy.) The second, a young human woman with dark hair with one white streak through it, two arrows through her chest and sharp grey eyes clouded over. (Laura’s face buried in her twin’s chest. Everyone shouting.) The last, a tall man still marked by the axe-gash across his chest, dark-haired and dark skin turned grey with death…

Vecna, smiling upon seeing them all in distress: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you’d like to see your loved ones one last time before you join them in death.
