Once upon a time, a group of curious storytellers breathe life into epic tales set in the wide fantasy world of Alexandria.

This is Liam O'Brien here to welcome you to Critical Role.

We'll dive into the story in just a moment, but first a few notes.

This is the audio-only version of our broadcast that streams Thursdays at 7pm Pacific, over on Twitch.tv slash Critical Role and YouTube.com slash Critical Role.

If you subscribe to our Twitch channel, you can watch the video on demand immediately after the broadcast, and it's also available Mondays at 12pm Pacific on YouTube.

And of course, for all you wonderful podcast listeners, freshly minted episodes release right here on the Critical Role Podcast Network one week after our broadcast on Thursdays.

With all that said, let's get into the story.

Hello everyone, and welcome to tonight's episode of Critical Role for a bunch of us nerdy ass voice actors sit around and lay dungeons and dragons.

Like that. Before we get into tonight's episode, we do have some quick announcements to get through beginning with our first of two sponsors tonight.

Skillshare, Sam, if you don't mind.

What? Oh shit. Oh. I guess he wants me to read.

Oh, I have papers. This episode is sponsored by Skillshare, an online learning community with thousands of inspiring classes for curious people.

No, no. Oh.

I guess I'm supposed to read in a French accent.

That's awful. Skillshare offers amazing classes designed for real life, including graphic design, photography, and music.

Sadly, if one class, Sam could not find on this site, it was MIMING, which is why he's terrible at it.

Come on, Sam. Why don't you mind juggling chainsaws?

What about driving and rush hour traffic?

Yeah, that's a truly terrible. But don't let that dissuade you.

The membership says lowest $10 a month with annual subscription.

Why? Skillshare is a great way to learn and unlock your creativity.

So why don't you try needing to poop with no toilet inside?
