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, where a bunch of us nerdy-ass voice actors sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons.

Before we jump into tonight's game, we have a few announcements to get through.

First and foremost, we have two fantastic sponsors tonight, up first our friends and sponsors of Campaign 2 this far, D&D Beyond.

D&D Beyond, I just ate some pie because it's pie day.

Mmm, well, taste real good.

Is this the bit already? Nope.

The D&D Beyond team is growing. They are currently on a quest, get it?

To find a senior product manager and two product designers to work on making all their exciting plans into a reality.

They shared with us also, this is actually kind of cool.

The last developer that they hired was a critter who heard about the job opening right here on Critical Role.

We got someone a job.

That's awesome.

And I'm exciting that the team is growing because it's more people for me to command when I become president.

Wow.

And your dreams.
