00:00Everybody rock in your chairs for three seconds.
00:01Three, two, one.
00:04Perfect.
00:05Hi, we are the cast of The Mighty Nine,
00:07and we're here to discuss the top Googled questions
00:10about The Mighty Nine.
00:17Is The Mighty Nine in the same world as Vox Machina?
00:20It is.
00:20Go on, world builder.
00:21Yes.
00:22It is.
00:22Out of this world.
00:23What's the name of the world?
00:25I don't know.
00:25Have you?
00:26No, I mean, it's Tal'Dorei.
00:28It happens in Tal'Do- no, it does not.
00:29Exandria.
00:30What are you?
00:31What's happening?
00:32Are you deliberately trolling?
00:33Kind of.
00:34Yes, it all takes place in Exandria,
00:36while Vox Machina takes place primarily in Tal'Dorei
00:39and a little bit of Vassilheim in Assylra.
00:42This takes place in a different continent called Wildemount,
00:44in which the politics are a little different.
00:46Where does The Mighty Nine take place?
00:48As previously stated.
00:50But it's a good chance to mention the Kreen dynasty.
00:52That's true.
00:53Oh, yes.
00:53Yes, in Wildemount, there are two major factions at play
00:57with this story that involves the Dwendalian Empire
01:00and the Kreen dynasty.
01:02And you'll have to watch the show to see
01:04how good of friends they are not.
01:06You gotta take a gamble and throw it over your head once,
01:09see if you hit them in the eye.
01:10All right, the question is, is four out of half-orc?
01:12Half-orc, half-fucking-stud.
01:14Yeah!
01:15Oh, baby!
01:16In seconds, let's go!
01:17I definitely heard.
01:19Heard it here first.
01:21What city did The Mighty Nine first meet in?
01:23Ooh.
01:24Trostenwald?
01:25Trostenwald.
01:26Well done.
01:29Trostenwald.
01:30Wow, the velocity on that.
01:33He did cosplay as Gambit.
01:35I did.
01:36That's all you gotta do, kids.
01:37Why are The Mighty Nine called that?
01:39I love the way it's phrased because it sounds almost cynical.
01:44We actually had a text thread about this trying to figure out
01:46what the group name was gonna be.
01:48And we came up with all sorts of amazing suggestions.
01:51And then I feel like you just took it over.
01:53I will agree with that.
01:54But it's because Zemnian is an adopted version of German.
01:59And thematically, it is a big fat no to the corrupt powers that be.
02:05That's right.
02:06And it just rolls off the tongue.
02:07It does.
02:08What food is Jester known for eating?
02:10Sweets?
02:11Donuts?
02:12Candy?
02:13Pastries.
02:14Pastries?
02:15Cupcakes?
02:16Cinnamon rolls?
02:17Lollipops.
02:18Boom.
02:19Done.
02:20Bear claws?
02:21How tall is Molly Mark?
02:22Six feet in heels.
02:25He's very tall.
02:26He's at least 5'11".
02:285'11".
02:295'11".
02:30Which city is Essek originally from?
02:32Rossona, which is the capital of the Kryn dynasty in Xhorhas,
02:36which is an area deeply scarred since the Calamity in the history of Exandria.
02:40But it is a perpetually knight-covered city.
02:44It is the seat of the Kryn dynasty.
02:45It's pretty cool.
02:46You should check it out.
02:47For bonus points, can anyone spell it?
02:48R-O-H.
02:49No?
02:50S-A-H.
02:51N-N-H.
02:52A-H.
02:53Sam got it.
02:54None.
02:55Go for it.
02:56What weapon is Yasha most known for wielding smolder?
03:01Ooh!
03:02Well, there's two.
03:03Yeah.
03:04We have the skin gorger.
03:06Skin gorger.
03:07Just to make sure that you knew what it was.
03:12And the magician's judge.
03:14What is dunamancy?
03:16Ah.
03:17You should answer that one, Marisha.
03:19Yeah, go for it.
03:20Magic.
03:23I mean, not really.
03:25You can elaborate.
03:27It's cool magic.
03:28No, it's a fundamental magical force that is mysterious across most of Exandria that is steeped into an entity called the Luxon that is a mythological core of the Kryn dynasty's religion,
03:41but it is more or less a magic that can seem to tamper with time, space, gravity.
03:46It is quite powerful and mysterious.
03:48So dunamancy wouldn't exist without the Luxon?
03:51You don't know?
03:52Okay.
03:53He'll never tell us.
03:54It's like the Infinity Gauntlet.
03:55You get it all together, but it's already there.
03:56Here, Sam.
03:58This question is, what did Jester, that's Laura's character, do to Braeus, my character?
04:04Absolutely nothing.
04:06She's never done anything wrong in her entire life.
04:08She ruined his life.
04:11Whoa!
04:12He was assigned to protect a temple, and Jester destroyed it, thereby...
04:19Should've done a job better.
04:20...getting him fired and causing him to turn to the dark side and follow the Prince of Darkness.
04:26But it wasn't malicious.
04:28I mean, it was intentional.
04:31Break you down to build you up again.
04:33It's true.
04:34It all works out at the end.
04:35It all works out.
04:36What is the dynasty's word for souls that have been reborn?
04:40Consecuted.
04:41Consecuted.
04:42Very good.
04:43Ding, ding, ding.
04:44Well done.
04:45R-O-H.
04:46There we go.
04:48Oh, what language does Caleb Widogast speak?
04:51He speaks the language of Xemnian, which is remarkably similar, but not identical to German.
04:57Slightly different accent.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Yuck!
05:00Oh my gosh!
05:01It's coming back.
05:02What is Molly Mock's real name before he became Molly Mock?
05:05Well, Molly doesn't know, so I don't know why you should either.
05:08You will find out, but I will say, uh, it's mysterious.
05:11Oh, he doesn't want to answer.
05:13No, I don't.
05:14I feel like this is like a spoiler.
05:15Marisha.
05:16Yes.
05:17What kind of monk is Beauregard?
05:18A badass one.
05:19Oh!
05:20Yes!
05:21She's a monk of the Cobalt Soul, which is kind of like a investigator librarian monk.
05:32The Cobalt Souls, they're like keepers of knowledge.
05:34They've got awesome libraries.
05:36And she's a badass.
05:37Yeah.
05:38What class does not belong to?
05:41Not my character, not the brave, best character, is a bit of a trickster, a bit of a thief,
05:47a bit of a scamp, a bit of a...
05:50A scamp?
05:51Yep.
05:52She's of the scamp class.
05:54No.
05:55From the school of hard knocks.
05:56She's roguish.
05:57She's thievey.
05:58She's, I don't know, I don't remember.
06:00Enamored of minotaurs.
06:01An alcoholic.
06:02There you go.
06:03She's of the boozer class.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Fourth level boozer.
06:06Who are the Cerberus Assembly?
06:08Bastard people.
06:09The Cerberus Assembly.
06:10Yeah, pieces of shit.
06:11Well, they're a bunch of mages.
06:14They're one of the powerful units of eight archmages within the Dwendalian Empire.
06:20Who are not just seats of power, but have influence over various aspects of culture and the throne's influence within the Empire.
06:28They're right behind you.
06:29I'm not scared.
06:30Ugh.
06:31For the important, hard-hitting questions.
06:33Ooh.
06:34Is there any romance in the Mighty Nein?
06:37I love how there's no reason to drop the card.
06:42You're sitting still.
06:44Is there romance in the Mighty Nein?
06:47No.
06:48Yes, there is.
06:49You bet your soggy bottom there.
06:51You bet your soggy.
06:53There's feels.
06:54There's lust.
06:55There's jealousy.
06:56There's slow burn.
06:58There's some boy-boy.
06:59There's some girl-girl.
07:00There's some boy-girl.
07:01There's some sweaty, dark alley hookups.
07:02That's crazy.
07:03Wow, yeah.
07:04What ship did Ford once serve on?
07:07Uh, Bo Yasha.
07:08100%.
07:09Yes!
07:10Let's go.
07:11Let's go.
07:12Let's go.
07:13Let's go, Queen.
07:14Wait, what was it called?
07:15Oh, I can't answer my own question.
07:17I should know this.
07:18We made a whole show about it.
07:19Well, it wasn't the Squall Eater.
07:21No, your original ship.
07:22The original ship.
07:23Tell him.
07:24Travis, it's your question.
07:25You wrote this in your backstory.
07:26He doesn't know it.
07:27The number of times you must have Googled this to get it on that list.
07:30He knows it.
07:31I forgot.
07:35What is the name of Yasha's patron?
07:38Oh!
07:39You know this one, Travis?
07:41I do.
07:42Yasha does have a Patreon.
07:44She really does.
07:45It's called Yash Queen.
07:51Yasha's patron, if you can call it that, is named Oban.
07:55Isn't that a brand of alcohol?
07:56Yes, it is.
07:57It's a scotch.
07:58It's a delicious single malt.
07:59It's a lovely scotch.
08:00Laura, answer this question.
08:01Oh, okay.
08:02What do Molly's tattoos represent?
08:04Regret.
08:06Wow.
08:07No, they represent change.
08:08It's all things that begin anew.
08:10We had to flip it a bit in the animated.
08:11Look, that's what it says in the animated one, because I just watched the episode.
08:15Well, if you read the comic book.
08:16If you read the comic book.
08:17No, you would know that it's just a bunch of seriously wonderful life choices that may or may not have ended well.
08:22And one for you, because Yasha's cool.
08:24Oh, so it represents bullshit.
08:25It represents bullshit.
08:26That's what Holly's really good at.
08:27That's what all tattoos represent.
08:30Leave it to Laura to make this cooperative game competitive.
08:33What organization does Bo work for?
08:37Oh, the Cobalt Soul.
08:40But there is an even more like subset of the Cobalt Soul, which are kind of like the spies of the organization.
08:47And they're called Expositors.
08:49And you kind of get to see Bo come into that.
08:52Hang on.
08:53Wait, wait.
08:54I'm going to give Travis his wish.
08:55Oh, God.
08:56Did it go right in Matt's face?
08:58Did it go right in Matt's face?
08:59It gave up.
09:00It gave up.
09:01I don't know why.
09:02It's not me.
09:03It's not me.
09:04It's the card.
09:05What weapon does Jester often summon with her trickery?
09:09I like you had to fight down the Jester voice that started off.
09:12You really did.
09:13I'm trying.
09:14I'm trying so hard.
09:15It is a giant spiritual lollipop made out of pure magic and sunshine.
09:22And it will cut a bitch.
09:24What?
09:25Oh!
09:26Foreshadowing.
09:27Oh.
09:28What is the name of Caleb's cat?
09:33Can anyone answer?
09:34Oh.
09:35It's the name of my cat from when I was a little boy.
09:38Frumpkin.
09:39Frumpkin's a cat.
09:40Oh.
09:41Hey.
09:42That was gentle.
09:43You can ask this one.
09:44Okay.
09:45What is Bo's signature combat style?
09:48Oh.
09:49She's like so good.
09:53I mean, you know, she's like pop, pop.
09:55Yeah.
09:56She's a monk.
09:57She's badass.
09:58She's light on her feet.
09:59Parkour action.
10:01Topping up, jumping on top of a roof.
10:04Topping, yeah.
10:05Topping.
10:06Topping up.
10:07Topping it up.
10:08Don't forget DMS.
10:09Dope monk shit.
10:10Dope monk shit.
10:11Melee mostly.
10:12I think don't monk shit is the official title.
10:13Dope monk shit.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Yeah, just put it back there.
10:16Just put it back there.
10:17Okay.
10:18The sword does Fjord wield.
10:20I know the second sword.
10:21I don't know the first one.
10:22You don't remember the first one?
10:23Other than it was gross and you didn't want to touch it and smell like fish.
10:25It was a falchion.
10:26But it didn't have a name, right?
10:27It does, technically.
10:28It does?
10:29The sword of Fathom.
10:30Fathom.
10:31That's such a good name.
10:32Covered in barnacles and stuff in the line.
10:34And then what was the second one?
10:35The gambler's blade?
10:37No.
10:38Bertrand Bell.
10:39The star raiser.
10:40Star raiser.
10:41Yeah.
10:42Dwefvar.
10:43Dwefvar, yeah.
10:44What god does Essek worship?
10:45Caleb would ask.
10:46Oh, that's a trick question.
10:47Quick question.
10:48Quick question.
10:49Trick question.
10:50Essek worships no god.
10:52Whoa.
10:53What is resi...
10:55Nope.
10:56Nope, yeah.
10:57And take two.
10:58Back to one.
10:59What is residuum?
11:01Nailed it.
11:02Residuum is like a rock.
11:05It's like a crystal, but it enhances magic.
11:10Where does it come from?
11:11Yeah, it's like an element.
11:12Where does it come from?
11:13Well, it comes from many places in Exandria, but a lot of it comes from Whitestone.
11:18It's like cubic zirconium.
11:20Yeah.
11:21But worth a lot more money.
11:23What weapon does not use most often in combat?
11:26Her signature weapon of choice is her charm.
11:29Oh god.
11:30Barf.
11:31But she uses a hand crossbow.
11:35And fingering.
11:36Cut and asked.
11:39What class is Caleb Widogast?
11:44He is a master practitioner of all things arcane and magical and feces.
11:49Oh!
11:50Oh!
11:51Jesus!
11:52Geez!
11:53This is getting intense.
11:54But learned magic versus like innate magic.
11:56Yes.
11:57Yes.
11:58How did not first meet Caleb Widogast?
12:00How did you two meet?
12:02Burning man.
12:03What were you wearing, Noel?
12:06We were both, both of our characters were on the run outlaws from various forces that were trying to capture us or chase us away and we bonded in our outlawdom.
12:17What accent does Jester Lavor have?
12:20Oh!
12:21You know, nobody knows.
12:23It's not actually from any particular place.
12:26It's just kind of like what came out of my own mouth.
12:29It's an amalgamation of sounds.
12:31Bulkslavgarian.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Two wild and crazy guys.
12:35Slightly Eastern European, generally.
12:38Who was Beau's mentor in the Cobalt Soul?
12:41So she was originally, I guess, under the mentorship of someone named Xenoth.
12:46He's not a great person, but once again you'll find...
12:48They also don't make good TVs.
12:49You'll find that out on your own.
12:52But she really kind of came into her own under Expositor Dairon.
12:58Who's a badass.
12:59Mysterious badass.
13:00That's a hardcore card.
13:03I know, it's got wicked velocity.
13:06Oh man, what are we gonna do with that?
13:07How did Molly come back to life?
13:09No, no, no.
13:10Sometimes, sometimes you just keep going.
13:12It's a surprise.
13:13Ah!
13:14Nice!
13:15Oh no!
13:16I almost gave you a haircut.
13:17Where's Yasha Nidoran from?
13:18She is from the Wastes of Xhorhas.
13:20There you go.
13:24Oh yay.
13:25How tall is Ford?
13:26Tall enough.
13:27I don't know.
13:28I love it!
13:29That's exactly what I was gonna say.
13:30Six feet in the middle.
13:31Yeah, baby.
13:33I don't know, but those boots might have lips in them.
13:36What is Essek's title within the Korean Dynasty?
13:42He is the Shadow Hand.
13:44The Shadow Hand?
13:45Wait.
13:46Why is he called that?
13:47That was not your last name?
13:50Essek Shadow Hand?
13:52He's Essek Thalyss.
13:53I don't know what that is.
13:54Damn Thalyss.
13:55Now once I think about it, I know that.
13:56Of the New Hampshire Thalysses.
13:57Yeah.
13:58We've talked about this.
13:59The New Hampshire Thalysses.
14:01Yeah, he's the Shadow Hand.
14:02The Shadow Hand, his position more or less represents
14:04a master of dark arcana and intrigue.
14:07Hand stuff.
14:08Can attest.
14:09Hand stuff?
14:10Yes.
14:11Yeah, he's the green card because he's master of hand stuff.
14:15He does shadow puppets.
14:16Yes.
14:18He's really talented.
14:19It's all under the table.
14:20What was that?
14:21Well, I was trying to make a dog.
14:22No gang size, but relax.
14:24What is the name of Yasha's tribe?
14:26I'm gonna make it up right now.
14:28Oh, oh, oh.
14:29Is it the Dodgers?
14:30No, but I do think it starts with a D.
14:32Mm-hmm.
14:33Wait, Matt, you know it?
14:34Yeah.
14:35Yeah.
14:36The Dolorov.
14:37The Dolorov.
14:38The Dolorov.
14:39Yes, yes, yes.
14:40Wow.
14:41What does that mean?
14:42Does that mean anything or is that just cool?
14:43I made it up.
14:44Okay, cool.
14:46Makes it very real.
14:47Yeah.
14:48What is the name of the pirate city?
14:50This is from our campaign, so for anyone who doesn't know,
14:54I don't think we've explicitly said this in this now
14:5720-minute long video, Mighty Nein is based off of our D&D campaign.
15:01Oh, yeah.
15:02Yeah, that's true.
15:03We did that.
15:04So you can go watch it on Critical Role's YouTube channel.
15:08Good.
15:09Good.
15:11So the name of the pirate city based off of our campaign is Darkto.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Yeah.
15:17Yes, it is.
15:18T-O-W.
15:19Whoa.
15:20Did that one have an arc?
15:21Was that better?
15:22It did.
15:23It did.
15:24What is the relationship between Yasha and Bo?
15:26What?
15:28Well, they meet necessarily.
15:29Stop it!
15:33It's complicated.
15:35It's complicated.
15:36It's complicated.
15:37We don't know yet.
15:38We don't know yet.
15:39We don't know yet.
15:40You gotta feel it.
15:41You gotta feel it out.
15:42Feel it out with your fingers.
15:43Feel it out.
15:44Complicated.
15:45Combative even at times.
15:46Yeah.
15:47But passionate.
15:48They totally get together.
15:51What is Caleb's ultimate magical goal?
15:54It is to bend reality to his will and also hand stuff.
15:59It always comes back to hand stuff.
16:01It really does.

16:03Well, we're, I mean, it's all the, oh god, I'm just dying suddenly.
16:07Tiefling, which are kind of, it's basically sexy people with weird horns and multicolored hair and tails on occasion.
16:12He's horny.
16:13Yeah, very horny.
16:14Wouldn't that be fun to have a tail?
16:15I've always thought about it.
16:16It would be pretty fun.
16:17Yeah, man, I would love it.
16:18It would be so useful to have a tail.
16:19If it's prehensile.
16:20Otherwise it just gets in the way.
16:21Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:22You can put a lot of jewelry on a horn too.
16:23I know, there's so many.
16:24More piercings.
16:25More piercings.
16:26It would make pants so hard though.
16:28No, you just Velcro.
16:29No, he's kind of cool.
16:30Just Velcro?
16:31Yeah, yeah, just like you put it on and it goes over the tail and then you Velcro it in the back.
16:33Oh, Velcro's way smarter than like having to like wiggle the tail in every single time.
16:38Fantasy Velcro.
16:39Oh, what is this?
16:40Hey, who was Ford's original patron?
16:42Yeah.
16:43Ford doesn't have a Patreon.
16:44Ford has only fans.
16:45Only fans.
16:46Only fans.
16:47Only fans.
16:48Only fans.
16:49Only fans.
16:50His patron's name is Uk'otoa.
16:53Uk'otoa.
16:54Uk'otoa.
16:55Uk'otoa is a demigod that has been locked away, but you'll have to watch the show to find out what that means.
17:02I think the term is Sneesnake.
17:03How old are the members of the Mighty Nine?
17:06Oh.
17:07Do we have hard ages for them?
17:09I don't know if we ever just said it.
17:11Probably, yeah, Beau's in her early 20s.
17:14Yeah.
17:15Essek, is Essek like 28, I would say.
17:18But wait, he's like a dark elf, right?
17:21Yeah.
17:22So he could be 200.
17:23Oh, that's true, but he's a young one.
17:24He is.
17:25He's young for that lineage.
17:27Yeah, he's close to like 70-something, I think.
17:29Who's the eldest of the core group?
17:31Caleb's early 30s, I think.
17:33That might be you, then.
17:34But what about Nott?
17:35Wait, halflings age normal human way?
17:39Spoilers.
17:40Oh, I mean, uh.
17:41There's a goblin!
17:42She's a goblin!
17:43Get the tape!
17:50We never said our ages.
17:51No, we didn't.
17:52I don't think we need to.
17:53We don't, okay.
17:54You know, six or seven.
17:55Only because we definitely know the exact number.
17:58What race is Jester LaVore?
18:00She's the same as Molly.
18:01Which is just fun and colorful.
18:03She's a cinnamon roll.
18:04Who trained Caleb Widogast?
18:06I did!
18:09Drama!
18:10I'm shooting it!
18:11Professor Fearne!
18:13Who did it?
18:14I was born in the darkness.
18:16We're so bad at this.
18:17It was Herr Trent Ickathon.
18:20Ew.
18:21Of the Cerberus Assembly.
18:22Of the Cerberus Assembly, yeah.
18:23Ew.
18:24Ew.
18:26It's the last one.
18:27It's the last question, y'all.
18:28Oh my goodness gracious.
18:29It's because we didn't answer.
18:30They're all falling asleep.
18:31Do we win a prize?
18:32Do we get a prize?
18:33We do, not you.
18:35What weapon does Molly usually fight with?
18:38Molly has a pair of twin scimitars that he found in the back of a trunk in a disused prop wagon.
18:46Yeah.
18:47They're actually kind of bullshit.
18:48It's all from him.
18:49The real weapon is X-rated.
18:51Doesn't something happen when you rub the dual scimitars on your nipples?
18:54Wouldn't you like to know?
18:56There are two piercings, though, that he does fight with.
18:58Anyway.
