History Awesome / CriticalRoleVasselheimArc

* Loot! Thanks to Laura rolling a natural 20 on perception, Vex spotted Rimefang's treasure horde: 4,032 gold coins, a big diamond, other valuable gems, and three magical items.

* The duo of events that led to the Rakshasa's KarmicDeath -- Tiberius succeeds in preventing it from [[VillainExitStageRight escaping the battle]] with a level '''6''' Counterspell (against the level 7 Plane Shift), and Vax gives it a mighty Sneak Attack for threatening their loved ones earlier as it's escaping.

* Kashaw's exit -- he gives Keyleth a BigDamnKiss. Scanlan could learn a thing or two.

** Tiberus, again, uses up sorcery points to fire off a double fireball, [[spoiler: which kills the creature. He uses the "How Do You Want to Do This" moment in an attempt to rectify a misunderstanding regarding the hydra's radius. He casts Control Flame to concentrate the blast so it doesn't hurt his teammates. It is a cooler visual anyway, with the concentrated explosion shattering the walls Keyleth made and leading the hydra to impale itself on a broken shard.]]

* Kashaw's exit -- [[spoiler:he gives Keyleth a BigDamnKiss]]. Scanlan could learn a thing or two.

* [[spoiler:[[CommutingOnABus Pike suddenly returning for the episode was a total surprise to the party and Critters alike.]]]]
* Percy has one with his [[spoiler: acrobatic arm shot.]] Laura/Vex even punctuates it with, "That was awesome."

* Dark as it may be, Vax knocking out [[spoiler: Vox Machina Fanboy Kynan]] deserves a mention. Thanks to some great rolling, he ends up doing over 50 points of damage.

* Earthbreaker Groon, the HighPriest of Kord, gives the nod of approval to the victor. This is a tremendously big deal. Just the way that Matt stages Groon's entrance is really cool.

* Kudos for the ranger! Vex's Primeval Awareness is how they spot their query and her favored-terrain bonus see the group safely though a dense forest. They make better time thanks to her guidance (a big deal given their time limit), bypass a ruin housing a "spooky blue thing" and avoid dropping into a frozen lake.

* Zahra Jedi Mind Tricks the Giants.

* Mary manages to roll high enough to beat Rimefang's intimidation roll with her persuasion, resulting in the frost giants joining the battle!
* During the battle with Rimefang, the wyrm tries to fly away to get a better vantage point... only for Scanlan to use Bigby's Hand to grab and force him back down to the ground thanks to Scanlan revealing his newest feat: War Caster. Sure, it results in Scanlan nearly dying when the dragon retaliates against him, but still, [[IAmNotLeftHanded never underestimate the bard]].

* The party is trying to rent horses but the guy they find will only ''sell'' them to hedge his risk. While Vex and Lyra try to haggle, Zahra just drops back and subtly casts Suggestion. Not only does the guy rent them, but he does so at half-price. This is Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn's first D&D success and its basically a JediMindTrick. She look so pleased with herself and Travis hugs her.

* When fighting the hydra, Tiberus casts telekinesis twice in order to grab two of its heads, smash them against each other and then tie their necks in a knot. Not only does this do 14 damage to each but they grapple each other, which means they can't attack that turn.

* The soundtrack for the show is expanded to include music from PillarsOfEternity, which Matt Mercer did voices in (and Marisha reviewed with HotPepperGaming).

* Taliesin rolling ''three'' natural 20s during combat. Rolling a 20 during combat is difficult enough, but to do it three times... that's epic. This results in Percy going on a shooting rampage [[CrowningMomentOfFunny in his jim-jammies]].

-->'''Scanlan:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny You will leave when Burt Reynolds]] ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny tells]]'' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny you to leave!]]

*** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny There's also his back-and-forth debates with Matt reminding him of what limitations he has. Poor Orion was so confused.]]

* Doubles as CrowningMomentOfFunny but Victor the black powder prospector. Just that entire scene with the contrasts between the collected and proper Percy, and the wild and wily Victor.

* Dark as it may be, Vax knocking out [[spoiler: Vox Machina Fanboy Kainan]] deserves a mention. Thanks to some great rolling, he ends up doing over 50 points of damage.

** The best bit is that she probably saved Percy's life, since she used Hellish Rebuke as a reaction to kill Rimefang during its turn. This is very relevant, as Percy was one death saving throw away from the dying and right next to the dragon, which probably would've attacked and killed him right then and there if it hadn't been for Zahra.

-->'''Zahra:''' Yes, I ''fucking can.''
** The best bit is that if she hadn't, the party might have died there as Percy is one death saving throw away from dying, Scanlan almost died, Lyra was unconscious and Vex was almost unconscious. Grog was the only one who was doing well hit point wise in the fight.
