Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins--Mollymauk Tealeaf

Product Information

At some point between 834 and the first half of 835 PD Molly heard about how the lawmaster of Nogvurot was scamming his people by making them believe he had connections with the royal family of a foreign empire (when in fact he was just taking their money). Wanting to scam the scammer, Mollymauk and the carnival traveled there, with the tiefling pretending to be the duke of Ashtania, a member of the non-existent royal family. He made the lawmaster believe that he and his friends were there to support him in exchange for half of his profits that month. Molly and his friends from the carnival stayed for three weeks, [32] entertaining the people, and at the end of it they betrayed the lawmaster by telling the townsfolk that he had been scamming both them and the duke; the scammer was banished from Nogvurot, the people recovered part of the money that had been swindled from them, and the carnival members left the place with some profit. [33] Campaign Two: The Mighty Nein [ ] See " An Open Window" (2x114) at 03:08:57. When asked about the ritual, DeRogna answered "I'm the one who did it." After Lucien's defeat, Caduceus successfully used Divine Intervention to allow a second chance of success for Caleb's Raise Dead to return Molly's consciousness to his body. [124] Jester and Molly got along well during his time with the Mighty Nein. When dramatizing her Hellish Rebuke in Infernal, Jester chose phrases to make Molly laugh; without Molly there, she generally just screams.

Campaign Two featured all eight primary cast members from the end of Campaign One, in addition to occasional guests. Ashley Johnson was absent for several lengthy periods over the first 86 episodes due to her filming schedule for the NBC drama Blindspot, which ran from 2015 to 2020. [12] Two of the player-characters for this campaign are based on characters their actors had previously created. Jester is based on a character Bailey had portrayed in two one-shot adventures, one with GameSpot and one with Kinda Funny. Mollymauk was originally designed by Jaffe as a possible replacement for Percy, his character in Campaign One, in the event of Percy's death. [13] [14] Main edit The party take two weeks of rest to pursue individual goals before regrouping. Fjord wants to head toward the Menagerie Coast to investigate an explosion on his ship that started the sequence of events that led to his bargain with Uk'otoa; it is implied Fjord unconsciously entered the pact to avoid drowning. The party agree to head to Nicodranas on the Menagerie Coast, where Jester's mother, a prostitute and entertainer, lives. Jester uses the spell Sending to inform Yasha of their destination before the party head southward.

Dairon reveals she is in Asarius investigating a possible connection between the Assembly and the Kryn Dynasty.

Matthew Mercer as the Dungeon Master, who organizes the gameplay, describes the effects the player characters' actions have on the world and narrative, and plays the NPCs. [24] [25] Molly thought that his death enabling Beau's survival was worth it, and Taliesin joked that Molly would forever have a "one-up" on her. [67] See " Curious Beginnings" (2x01) at 2:42:45. Mollymauk imposes disadvantage with a use of Blood Maledict, consistent with the Blood Curse of the Eyeless Molly and Fjord had a friendly relationship, often being roommates at inns. Fjord wanted to learn about Molly's ritual with his swords and asked to join in. He hoped that Molly might have knowledge about magical swords that could be helpful to him as he searched for the meaning of his falchion. Before Molly's amnesia was revealed, Fjord realized Molly was lying about where his swords and his powers came from. For unknown reasons, he decided not to confront Molly or tell anyone else. Every night is a party in Hupperdook, so the Mighty Nein partake in the festivities. They spend the next day tracing Beau's stolen coin purse and discover gnomish children took it. Their parents were arrested for worshiping the Changebringer, an outlawed god. Although the party is on a timetable, they decide to help the children by finding a way to free their parents.

Before leaving the town of Berleben, Fjord confided in Molly about his concerns about the new eye in the center of his falchion. [63] Molly attempted to charm him in response to get more information, but it failed. [64] The campaign is an actual play which follows the Mighty Nein, a party of seven adventurers, in their travels across the continent of Wildemount. It occurs at a time of very high tensions between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty—two of Wildemount's major powers, which are divided by the Ashkeeper Peaks mountain range. Over the course of the campaign, the Mighty Nein work towards rooting out political corruption, especially within the Cerberus Assembly, and establishing peace between the Kryn Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire after war breaks out. They also thwart apocalyptic threats such as Tharizdûn's attempt to escape his imprisonment and the Somnovem's attempt to return to the Prime Material Plane. Sumalee Montano as Nila, a firbolg druid whose husband and son were taken by the Iron Shepherds [26] In " Vox Machina vs. Mighty Nein" (OSx40), a non-canon battle royale between members of Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein, Mollymauk appeared as a level 15 version of himself, with the following statistics:

Travis Willingham, Ashley Johnson, and Laura Bailey are absent this episode. Guest stars Ashly Burch and Khary Payton. Live show was broadcast from Gen Con. [54] Campaign Two had eight cast members—seven players who form an adventuring party and the Dungeon Master.

Avantika and the Mighty Nein encounter a Clovis Concord ship and threaten the crew into submission. They loot the ship, and Jester tattoos one of the crew members with an image of a googly-eyed Captain Tusktooth. A brief scuffle with a guard yields a box of magic paints. Squall-Eater and The Mistake arrive at Darktow. They meet with the Plank King, ruler of the island and in some respects all piracy in the eastern Lucidean Ocean. Avantika pays tribute but the King whispers to Beau there will be a significant reward if she brings him information of any underhand dealings by Avantika. Temples of the Baha'i Faith (a religion teaching the essential worth of all religions, and the unity and equality of all people) are required to be nonagonal, an essential architectural character stipulated by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, a head of the Baha'i Faith. In the Baha'i Faith, the number nine represents completeness. A storm passes over Zadash and Yasha leaves during the night. Caleb peruses a local bookstore in search of "historical romances" because he had earlier found useful spells written in them. Fjord, Beau, and Caleb attend another meeting of rebels and take on a job for the group; they must infiltrate the houses of city officials with Ulog to find evidence of corruption between city officials and nobles.Mercer notes that a character's death can come from his own bad planning just as it can come from a player's risky decisions, and regardless of how it happens, if it "doesn't feel narratively fulfilling" or generally isn't fun, he says he'd likely adapt the campaign's future and relax on the 'perma' part of the deal. Were the worst to happen in one of his campaigns—a total party wipe—he has a few ideas about how he'd handle it. The party later discovered Molly's grave empty and his body apparently alive and well. [122] They later learned that Lucien, who had previously inhabited Molly's body, had regained control after his resurrection and thus Molly's consciousness had not returned.
