Trying something new. RP scenes in combat are hard because
they’re broken up by the mechanics & chatter. Sometimes it’s difficult to
get the full impact. I’ll be doing scene cuts to pare scenes down to the core
roleplaying that makes them powerful, based on transcripts I’ve finished.
Exactly how necessary this is was made clear to me by Izzymatic’s fabulous
drawing that I discussed in the full transcript.
If you like this transcript, please consider donating to Critical Role Transcripts, @CRTranscript, to help them provide
closed captioning to Critical Role. We’d like to share this wonderful show with
as many people as possible, regardless of hearing ability or English language
skills.

3:06:14 Taliesin: “Okay. Before I start to do anything,
I’m going to look him in the eye and say,”
Percy, his tone escalating from indignation to shouting:
“What is wrong with you? Don’t you see there’s nothing here for you? Run
away before you die! There is no option!”
…
[Attack: 6 shots, 4 hits, one miss, one jam: crit 16 damage,
sharpshooter miss, 8 damage, action surge, 10 + 4 fire damage, sharpshooter 21
damage, sharpshooter with ice – gun jam.]
3:08:12 Matt: “First and foremost, how do you want to
do this?”
…
3:08:28 Taliesin: “Okay, I’m going to do something
weird here and I’m going to hold you onto this. I’m going to get a little
weird, and I’m just taking strait chest shots, and I’m just firing chest shots,
and I’m just making a hole the size of a baseball in his chest. And as it
happens, as I keep unloading, the gun still breaks, and I’m still pulling the
trigger.”
3:08:51 Percy, screaming: “You fool! Your soul is
forfeit! Die! Die!”
Taliesin: “And I’m going to look at the other two, and
start pulling out my bigger gun.”
…
3:09:05 Taliesin: “And putting on the fucking
mask.”
…
2:09:26 Taliesin: “So mask, gun, fuck it.”
2:09:28 Matt: “He’s standing there, smoking, giant
hole, center, Tomb Stone style, in the center of the chest. Oh no, there would
be no dripping, except for the cauterization of the heat around the explosion
in his chest, and it’s just a blackened, cinderous tube, where once there was a
chest cavity. The Broker kinda,” choking noises and Matt mimics falling
back. “And just falls onto his back. With this smoldering spiral of black
smoke pouring forth from the chest wound, on the ground. As you stare at the
other two, screaming that out, you can see the old woman, who’s still on the
ground, looks extremely out of place and freaked out. The masked individual,
from what you can tell behind the eyes of the mask, does not seem to be
emotionally effected by this.”
…
3:12:25 Marisha: “Upon seeing Percy going absolutely
insane, and screaming, ‘Your soul is now forfeit,’ out of shock, my anti-life
shell dissipates, and I spend my action staring at him.”
