The introduction of the most powerful item in the book to Season 1 of Critical Role. Vox Machinas fates were changed after this.

Taken from Season 1 Episode 81 "What lies Beneath" Watch the full episode here: • What Lies Beneath the Surface | Criti...

Critical Role is made by Geek and Sundry...I think...Although Now it seems to be made by Critical Role, they bought their own studio, so yay. They own it and often monetize my vids through youtube, All ad revenue goes to them, so If you click an advert or two, More Critters are spawned into existence. If you remember your life before CR, then be sure to tell your friends who don't know about it yet, CR is not something that needs to be secret, Go forth and spread the Gospel of the Mighty Nine and Vox Machina.

The best part about this is that Travis has legitimately no idea what he has.

A way to anti-metagame I did with my players one campaign was I described a deck of cards in a leather pouch. They all went crazy thinking it was The Deck of Many Things. Before anyone opened it, one of my players rolled to see if he could identify if it was magical or not. He rolled too low and the party didn't really think to test it a different way. They went the whole campaign without drawing a card until the final boss. It was a pretty bad situation, so one of them pulled a card to try and shift the game in their favor. It was a normal deck of cards and nothing happened.... Their reaction was great and I have no regrets.

The day where everyone metagamed to try and stop a tragedy.

My favorite part of this is Laura. She doesn’t yell “GROG”, she goes straight to “TRAVIS NO” Edit: lol 2 years later and this apparently turned into a fight about rules I just thought the moment was funny friends

The very real possibility that Matt could have introduced the most destructively powerful magic item ever designed into the campaign only for Grog to immediately destroy it in lava is just so hilarious to me

Liam: "It's THE most powerful thing in the book!" Travis: "Really? the most powerful thing?" Liam: "Yes!" Travis: Looks at Matt "WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME THIS?!?!"

"You see a deck of cards." Every group has the same reaction.

Grog: Theyonlyactiveundermymagicaltouch. Rothfuss:..... HAHAHAHA.

Rothfuss' immediate head-in-hands panic laughter is the best. "There's nothing I'd rather be here for."

Finds the deck of many things. First thing that comes in his mind is to throw the deck into lava XD

Rothfuss: Just think! You can do that 12 more times!

for the record, Grog pulled the "key" card which creates a magic weapon that youre proficient in of the DMs choice. 1 of the much more tame cards he could have pulled
@michaelbootes4822 5 years ago

The entire history of this item is everyone else trying to stop Grog from using it but when Grog tried to destroy it in the Lava a mystical Laura Bailey appeared and berated him for it.

i just love how Travis had NO idea what he was holding :)
@Troommate 5 years ago

There's another reality where Grog threw the cards in the lava and that was the end XD.

Love how Laura broke character to stop him from destroying a magical item, only for that magical item to be the (one of many) bane of Vex' existence
@sunburntsatan6475 5 years ago

Travis really stays in character. Even when Laura was frustrated to the point of addressing Travis by his actual name (even though she typically stays in character fairly often), he stayed in character. What a legend!
