Episode 26: Council of Heroes
Folks, it's my delight and privilege to invite us [you?] to a big ol' heapin' helping of Critical Role!
What an adventure do we have in store tonight.
Last we left off with our Schemers. You had just prevented the assassination of King Augustus Valian of Timmony. And are witness to an assassination not being prevented (but instead canceled) by one Photarch Yanessa Halovar, who appears to have resurrected herself with the beaming power of the Light.
Azune, you look down at the ground, still stick with the blood from your sister (who you have healed; saved her life) and she has vanished using a dangerous spell glyph to disappear in this moment.
Hal, you've rushed across the Archanade at the gala, celebrating the soon-to-be opening night of "KoTher'ai" (your play at the Hallowed Round). Looking out and forward, you see that you've essentially defeated this minister in private combat (and no one even knows that happened; they'll just see a shattered library).
You guys watched as: an invisible spellcaster vanished, Mayali Nayar vanished, but the Dominate Person was broken on King Gus' druid advisor, the Hounds of the King are back up.
I think you guys see in this moment, the crowd looking at the radiant appearance of Yanessa Halovar descend as Filoneus drops to his knees in reverent adoration of his mother. Yanessa Halovar looks out and says,
"All shall be made whole. The Beam reaches us all in time. This act of darkness and wickedness will not be allowed to stand."
You see that she reaches out to King Gus and heals him back to full health. Gus looks at her as people begin to weep and applaud.
You look out and see some of the bystanders here. Many of them seem touched with a true religious zeal (as they have witnessed a miracle) and for the first time since the age of the Shapers have witnessed a resurrection occur. King Gus looks, and she says
"Death has no place on the path of the righteous."
Filoneus says,
"She has returned!"
And a cheer from many of the faithful and some Halovar soldiers goes up. Gus turns to look and says,
"No place in the path of the righteous.."
and walks wordlessly away from the Photarch towards his fallen knight at the threshold (who was referred to as Carbrady; killed by an assassin). Gus just moves there, leaving the interaction with the Photarch.
I'm so excited for this episode!
Same. Do you think Brennan will play Teor’s brother (if they cure the petrification or will they bring in a guest player?
I think Brennan will play him, if nothing else because of how many players there already are with the convergence.
I might be misremembering things but I thought Occtis was disguised the whole time they were at the Einfasen estate (I'm not gonna attempt to spell the actual name). Ingrid Einfasen shouldn't have known that he's traveling with them?
That’s what I remember, too. Occtis made a second Kerzingblad, but that lie may have been discovered. We still don’t know who exactly notified the Tachonis twins.
I just got to the post-break scene and I'm crying laughing that my husband is concerned. Kattigan what is happening??
(Also is that Liam's laughter in the background? Love it when they're there!)
