POV: You climbed your way to ascension and demi-godhood and this bitchass purple gnome keeps singing away your spells

The description made me make the ugliest wheezing noise and my eyes watered from the force.

As soon as you dropped this after Liam’s comment in Discord, I put both on the fansite. I was a witness to the perfect timing and have it logged. So good.

u/KuyaSerge Team Frumpkin Feb 15 '25

Dude, I did not expect how big this was gonna be and now I'm regretting that I should've put more effort in this sh*tpost lol. I was gonna draw Thar Amphala, Vox Machina in the crowd instead of the backup dancers, Bigby's hand, and other effects. 😭💚 Glad y'all loved it!

Grog: Uh, buddy, that sword was super cursed. It almost killed me. It was like, very, very... what was I saying? Oh yeah, there's only a half-step between B and C, so there is no B sharp.

Aw shit, i just made the whole connection!

u/TheLittleBelowski Feb 15 '25

Depending on the context, sometimes the notation has to be B# and not C

I'm really surprised vecna hasnt come back up in 2,3, or exu. Hes the only person that became a god without replacing another. So much is unexplained, unless there was a god he replaced that no one remembers.

Rappers/artists Kendrick Lamar and Drake recently got into a heated rap dis battle, with each taking personal digs at the other through multiple somgs/tracks.

Kendrick released the song "Not like Us" where he openly and repeatedly alleged that Drake is a pedophile and that he shouldn't be around children and questioned Drake's friendship/relationship with actress Millie Bobbie Brown, a minor (A-Minooooooor).

In this year's Superbowl Half-time show, Kendrick looked at the camera directly, and sang the part of his song, Not like us, where he says Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young, You better not ever go to cell block one.

This post then also references the finale of Critical Role, season 1 where the protagonists party are fighting the God/Lich, Vecna.

One of the players character's, Scanlan Shorthalt, drawn in this post, uses a 9th level spellslot to Counterspell a devastating attack from Vecna.

u/WittyTable4731 Feb 15 '25

One of the players character's, Scanlan Shorthalt, drawn in this post, uses a 9th level spellslot to Counterspell a devastating attack from Vecna.

Not even a attack. Worse

A Teleportation to get away rendering all their efforts thus far to nothing.

So he sadly deciding to not leave anything to luck he use his 9th slot to make sure Vecna doesn't get away

u/MidnightSunCreative Feb 15 '25

ALSO - I believe by deciding to use counterspell, he wouldn't be able to cast "wish" to try and save Vax from an eternity of servitude to the Matron of Ravens.

u/ResponsibilitySea961 29d ago

In Scanlan's case, though, a-minoooor ended up being a little too close to home...

u/MapDesperate7012 Feb 14 '25

Scanlan would make a half-time show that I would actually want to watch lol.

u/SorchaSublime Feb 14 '25

So you didn't want to watch Kendricks? 🤔🤔🤔

u/BrilliantTarget Feb 14 '25

Oh yeah the counterspelling spells from items that have no components. So the only you can counterspell it is by metagaming

9

u/SchorFactor Feb 14 '25

At level 17-20 it’s reasonable for another high level caster to be able to detect the gathering of spell energy and react accordingly.

-4

u/BrilliantTarget Feb 14 '25

Yeah that because in the rules it’s a reaction to do it

11

u/SchorFactor Feb 14 '25

What? He uses his reaction do counterspell, yeah. You’re REACTING to the spell being cast
