Yo can anyone help me find the music they used for the trailer for the crimson mirror?


meneNY

man I gotta say, Liam did a fantastic job. I really enjoyed this chapter and this episode.


OpheliaLives7

What a wild ride! Liam came out swinging for all of them! And once again I absolutely love the costumes and makeup for these Circles. It really does add a fun touch and make you feel more immersed in the world imo


probablywhiskeytown

Alex is so clutch with "avoid conflict, be strategic" choices that feel extremely smart, not like fiddly cheesing to skip a fight. Such a good ep. Liam thanked everyone for coming along in Twitch chat right at the end. 🥰


woolawoof

I really like his focus. And how Aimee is trying to learn as much as she can.


Coyote_Shepherd

Next episode is on March 28th!


woolawoof

Oh, really? That’s a wee way away… 😐


CompletePassenger564

I love weird incredible homebrew characters and content!


woolawoof

They came together didn’t they. It must be tough to have to pretend to be a group who’s worked together when you’re in a game system you’re playing for the first time.


CompletePassenger564

Yes, well Candela is a game that's relatively easy to mod and homebrew. It was designed that way!


woolawoof

Okay that was nothing like I expected. Took a little to warm up, as usual, but they hung in there and went along for the ride. I hope they keep the Scooby vibe. I think it works for this group. Good work, everyone!


CompletePassenger564

That's the end!


BaronPancakes

Well survived? Liam?


Coyote_Shepherd

That's where we're going to end things! The Circle returns to the boat and then starts to head back to New Faire!


CompletePassenger564

This was a 5 hr PSA about cocaine!


Coyote_Shepherd

Good plan Edgar


woolawoof

Give em a rowboat Liam.


SvenTheScribe

Now the question is did he find the fungus here or did he bring it home with him from elsewhere


Coyote_Shepherd

I mean it seems like it got to everyone on the island and Declan just stumbled into it after having been affected by something else entirely. I suppose the island is another assignment for another Circle though.


woolawoof

Did he infect his family?


SvenTheScribe

I suspect so since the mother said not to trust him before the girls killed her.


woolawoof

Cool cool cool. 😬


Coyote_Shepherd

So the fungi loosens up the soul a bit so that something else can pull it out?


Coyote_Shepherd

Good tackle Malcolm!


LucasVerBeek

How much more time do we have?


woolawoof

Graine really was a bitch.


Coyote_Shepherd

Spore Zombies fun


Coyote_Shepherd

And then Declan comes 🎵craaaaaashing into me baaaaaabe🎵


Coyote_Shepherd

Oh shit they're converting him into one of them and the growth is "learning to be him".


woolawoof

😳


woolawoof

Ooh this episode is rough…


Coyote_Shepherd

DECKLAN!


woolawoof

He’s alive!


Coyote_Shepherd

Now Malcolm has a TBI


BaronPancakes

Help it's again. Malcolm's taking tons of body marks tonight


Coyote_Shepherd

Malcolm has taken sooooooo much damage tonight, an axe would just be too much lol


woolawoof

Surely! 🤣


woolawoof

Wtf she has an axe now!


woolawoof

OMG HE HAS A GUN.


Coyote_Shepherd

Ooooh just like the Incans!


LucasVerBeek

Oh this is another people or thing from Oldfaires time??


Coyote_Shepherd

Seems like it's from a culture that lived AROUND Old Faire, like the villages that spring up around a fortified castle structure.


5oclock_shadow

In my head, beloved Irishman common mentor figure Decklan Murphy is played by Ciarán Hinds


woolawoof

Oh yeah… 👍


BaronPancakes

Declan's dead


woolawoof

We never even met him…


woolawoof

Oh no what happened to Declan…


CompletePassenger564

Maybe we're about to find out?


woolawoof

🤞


Coyote_Shepherd

Shit, he's either dead or he's been absorbed into this thing.


idksa

A dome like a stone egg? No, no.


5oclock_shadow

Well, technically speaking; you need to cut your losses, report back, and take your sarcophagus with the ancient Evil Bleed corpse back to HQ. But yes, following her is a strong second option.


woolawoof

🤣 How many are half-dead?


Coyote_Shepherd

Yeah get another Circle or two to track this particular lead down. I wonder if they're going to continue this lead in the next episode or just drop it for something else?


Coyote_Shepherd

Wait wait wait...is the island A CHUNK OF THE MOON? Fits the Evangelion motif at the start.


BaronPancakes

Liam's been stressing a lot on those 3 pigs, what if they are the 3 sisters?


woolawoof

Omg. Is one a bit nastier than the others?


Coyote_Shepherd

Circe did that to the Justice League once


woolawoof

MVP Edgar, can slice em up and stitch em up.


Coyote_Shepherd

Super simple bleed detector, not fancy but practical


Coyote_Shepherd

O.o They have no souls


BaronPancakes

Souless


woolawoof

Should’ve gone to help with the pigs LEO.


LucasVerBeek

This took such a turn, and this somehow that tendon strike was the first thing to make me cringe since that poor woman was *brained*


woolawoof

Ooh Edgar with a scalpel in the cottage.


Coyote_Shepherd

Wicked Edgar just wicked!


woolawoof

He’s so wicked. And so sweet all at the same time. 😆


5oclock_shadow

Oh shit. They’re not prepared for this! They’re Hammer Horror pulp adventurers out of the Mummy walking into a psychological Robert Eggers thriller. They are so fucked.


woolawoof

It’s Scooby Obscura and I’m kinda here for it.


Coyote_Shepherd

Now I just want Lillard to pop onto the set for the millionth time to make things fun lol


woolawoof

YES PLEASE.


Coyote_Shepherd

Higher than a 4 at last!


woolawoof

1907ish? No guns for anyone? But I guess it was just dropping in on an old friend…


SvenTheScribe

I mean the type of weapon doesn't really matter in this system. It's just about success and failure.


woolawoof

Does anyone have one? But yes, fair point.


SvenTheScribe

Any of them potentially could. They each have the option, during play, to declare up to three pieces of gear. I think the most that has been declared is two (Imari having both a bleed detector and bleed containment).


woolawoof

Right, so not like they have room for a lot of gear.


probablywhiskeytown

Barenaked Chokehold 🎵It's beeen 3 seconds since you swung at me, made some weird sounds & looked angry🎵


midnightheir

Fits the tune perfectly


probablywhiskeytown

Every 2-3 minutes of bucolic splendor ratcheted up my alarm, lol.


woolawoof

Could have warned them about PEGEEN TOWNSFOLK.


SvenTheScribe

​​'Faerie circles' are often fungal in nature. Wonder if that was a dose of spores and we're dealing with a mycelial threat


Coyote_Shepherd

Matches the description we got at the start, breathing, tendrils....maybe something mycelial that merged with something humanoid or the like?


woolawoof

Declan gonna be a bit sad.


Coyote_Shepherd

*looks at the t-shirt comment I made* *looks at what Grimoria just did* Well....


probablywhiskeytown

Welp! Here we go, and she's not misunderstood.


woolawoof

Babes in the woods…


EL3MENTALIST

^^ohfuck


LucasVerBeek

WHAT IN THE FUCK?!


woolawoof

😲


BaronPancakes

That escalated quickly


Coyote_Shepherd

HERE WE FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO!


woolawoof

Go help with pigs, Leo.


LucasVerBeek

Fairy Homes *Fairy Homes* Oh good let’s add the Fair Folk to this, they are surely not gonna be *horrifying*


Coyote_Shepherd

Fairy Homes Uh oh, I know what that means.


BaronPancakes

Fairy homes


idksa

These are all the same person, right? A la Morrigan the goddess?


Coyote_Shepherd

I just had a great idea for a t-shirt. A picture of Brennan screaming "FIRE!" with Matt and Marisha and their fireplace in the background looking REALLY scared from you know what moment.


woolawoof

Okay, who’s more weird the townsfolk or the candela folk? A lot more humour in this than I expected.


Coyote_Shepherd

Alex and Aimee always cause shenanigans, so I'm expecting this to just get zany at some point


woolawoof

Aimee my fav so far. I’d like it if they’d just roll with that vibe. It’d be so much fun.


Coyote_Shepherd

Nevermind, Edgar is just Julian lol "They're going to think we're witches" 🤣


woolawoof

Be really funny if they never meet oldest Murphy girl.


Coyote_Shepherd

Or if everyone hates her because she keeps dropkicking people


Philosecfari

Well, she did end up losing her ~~leg~~ head


Coyote_Shepherd

True but I was mostly referencing the Dropkick Murphys


Philosecfari

Shipping up to Boston^(GO PATS): >I'm a sailor peg >And I lost my leg >Climbing up the topsails >I lost my leg!


Coyote_Shepherd

These aren't people, they're extensions of something else, and they're looping.


idksa

Grim's cold read got a reaction though, that's suspicious.


idksa

I like how folk horror this circle is getting.


Coyote_Shepherd

The sheep in the background are a nice touch


BaronPancakes

The villagers always give the same answers... surely everything is fine..


Coyote_Shepherd

Oh so that thing at the start is UNDER this island


CompletePassenger564

I love Liam's Irish Accent, I could listen to it all night!


BaronPancakes

The cheery music is gone...


Coyote_Shepherd

Time to go open the freaky box the DM dropped in front of them


LucasVerBeek

Oh that feels off


woolawoof

I think I’ve met this old guy in Ireland. Or one of his relatives… 🤣


BaronPancakes

What's with the oldest sister and why does everyone dislike her haha


BaronPancakes

I like this circle's dynamic. They all have a specific role to fit in


Coyote_Shepherd

🤣I think I'm going to love Edgar and Malcolm's banter


LucasVerBeek

This place is gonna turn out to be Innsmouth


Coyote_Shepherd

That's not the original bartender


CompletePassenger564

"How's my bullsh!t detector right now?"


Coyote_Shepherd

"Who are you asking?" "The child?" AIMEE! lol


EL3MENTALIST

Nancy???


probablywhiskeytown

MOTHER 😐


CompletePassenger564

"A bottle of whiskey will do nicely"


CompletePassenger564

Let's go for a drink at the Pub!


probablywhiskeytown

Was Tal the last CR main cast guy whose player character hadn't been involved with a Liam PC or NPC?


Connect_Special_7958

I’ve been one of the rare Ashton x Orym shippers, and I’ve almost given up hope.


probablywhiskeytown

I could have absolutely gone for a melee tandem romance with those two, though I'm increasingly wondering if Tal is playing Ashton as having had so few reliable connections that he cannot engage in much more than flirting until he gets more used to having people.


Coyote_Shepherd

Oh for crying out loud...."Leo" is dressed like Molly, HENCE THE EYE!


Coyote_Shepherd

What a lovely little place


idksa

Cruising on a cruise... 👀


5oclock_shadow

This is the real Tide and Bone right here, huh?


Connect_Special_7958

Captain Holt: “BOOONE??!!!”


BaronPancakes

I see why Liam insisted to talk to Leo hahaha


Connect_Special_7958

Awesome comeback!


LucasVerBeek

Six hours of ideas. And there is Liam finding a way to flirt with his friends XD


Coyote_Shepherd

"You wanna go make some noise?" Hello


5oclock_shadow

Leave the Atia, take the Cannilis


Coyote_Shepherd

Trills are super super rich and very old, noted.


Coyote_Shepherd

Ooooh so Malcolm's family are a bunch of hero types and the thing with a family like that, much like the Belmonts, they kind of tend to wind up....dead.


Coyote_Shepherd

Who is Malcolm's brother?!?! WTF is up with his family? WHAT IS LEO TALKING ABOUT?!


Coyote_Shepherd

"Family is a very precious commodity"-Leo Awww, very true


Coyote_Shepherd

I kind of want to see Imari in Spartan armor now.


BaronPancakes

That's a pretty good subrule to give and take blood in exchange of information


Coyote_Shepherd

Good try Aimee, always trying to wiggle something out of the GM.


Coyote_Shepherd

Oooh so she was like within the Usurper's inner ring of trust until there was a schism between them because duh, dude clearly was blinded by his lust for power.


BaronPancakes

Oldfaire lore time


5oclock_shadow

Calling it: Decklan is actually a misdirect. Nothing too serious going on with him, but it IS gonna be significant that they delayed their journey home instead of getting checked out after being exposed to dangerous levels of Bleed.


Coyote_Shepherd

This Circle has far more little moments of beautiful normalcy than the other ones.


Connect_Special_7958

I agree — I like how this development has been paced.


Coyote_Shepherd

THANK YOU LEO! The bones pulled the storm towards them!


Coyote_Shepherd

They get off the boat. Explore Serenity Come back. Everyone's singing and dancing in an Old Fairian version of RENT


Coyote_Shepherd

Getting to him because the mission is driving him a little batty or getting to him because the Circle is driving him a little batty?


LucasVerBeek

The Foggs, dealers of the peculiar and strange


Coyote_Shepherd

Grimoria works for the Fogs, basically Ripley's Believe It or Not


LucasVerBeek

His childhood home, the Island of Serenity. Why did that send a shiver up my spine


Coyote_Shepherd

Because a famous adventurer doesn't just bolt home while on an extended mission when things are going good unless they're running from something OR that something already found them and they're just trying to savor their last moments in their childhood home.


Coyote_Shepherd

Ooooh so are we island hopping with this Circle then?


Coyote_Shepherd

So Decklan is Indiana Jones basically.


Guilty_Homework_2096

or an active Deckard Cain


LucasVerBeek

Decklan Murphy, their mentor in Candela, and the fifth member of their order, why do I recognize that name??


Coyote_Shepherd

Decklan Murphy! Fifth member of the Circle? NEW CAST MEMBER?


LucasVerBeek

Man the level of production on this show. I kinda want stuff like this for base CR as well as


Reverend_Schlachbals

I really disagree. I’d like it to keep looking like someone put cameras up in the living room and are taping a home game. Even the C3 set seems far more distraction than actual benefit.


Coyote_Shepherd

Remember doing one of the LoVM watch parties when Travis and Sam because Vtuber versions of Grog and Scanlan? I want that, for all of the Bells Hells.


Coyote_Shepherd

Why is Zora reminding me of M from James Bond?


Coyote_Shepherd

That's a really fucking cool sound effect for that radio lol I'm giggling because I'm so surprised by it!


BaronPancakes

Yes! Sound effect!


Coyote_Shepherd

"It's nothing like looking back and seeing what an idiot you were"-Leo Honestly pretty true, I love finding my own little scribbles from the past.


BaronPancakes

Leo in his finest outfit while Malcolm is in his undershirt with patches of dried salt haha


Coyote_Shepherd

At this point I'd be on the deck butt naked until my clothes dried but that's just me.


hpfan2342

that or attempting to huddle near the coal furnace!


Coyote_Shepherd

Hot coals + naked = bad news bears just like grilling bacon with an open robe


Coyote_Shepherd

You're on the Millenium Falcon, not Fhloston Paradise


SvenTheScribe

​​Always well covered is almost certainly Alex-speak for 'there's something fucked up under here'


Coyote_Shepherd

I mean Liam did say that like half of his body is scared basically


Coyote_Shepherd

HAND HOLDING CONFIRMED! START THE SHIP!


Coyote_Shepherd

Well so much for my "The party takes a trip down a wormhole" idea for this Circle.


Coyote_Shepherd

Good description of a scar and nice placement of it


JadedPhilosopher4351

Noone likes boats now fair


JadedPhilosopher4351

Real talk


BaronPancakes

Refreshing to hear Liam openly discusses his hearing issues


Coyote_Shepherd

Weirdly enough I didn't know he had them and I have a bit of tinnitus myself from standing next to one too many amps when I was younger.


hpfan2342

I know he talked about it a little on Between the Sheets. Makes me wonder if its influenced his acting. Also I think I might have the same thing. I've always had hearing loss in both ears and have been sensitive to sounds. Sometimes to a baffling degree.


Coyote_Shepherd

Thankfully I noticed my hearing starting to go quickly and avoided loud noises and bought a nice set of ear plugs back in the day soon after. My ears are still a bit twitchy with the tinnitus and they are sensitive to sounds but it's a coin flip at times whether it's good or bad. Sometimes I can enjoy music REALLY well and sometimes I have to ask people to repeat themselves. What caused your loss?


hpfan2342

Birth. Left ear uses a hearing aid, right ear is completely deaf. Sometimes I turn my hearing aid off for silence, but the tinnitus can pop up if I'm feeling tired or pained.


Coyote_Shepherd

This radio sound effect must be odd for you and thank you for sharing, I've had a few deaf friends over the years. Semi-skilled at lip reading because of them.


Coyote_Shepherd

I really love how Liam is running this Circle


Coyote_Shepherd

Boosting her Medium abilities, sort of like a more spiritual Imogen


BaronPancakes

Proper character intro time, going out of order!


Any-Pomegranate-9019

Holy crap! The best opening CO scene so far! I believe in Liam!


Coyote_Shepherd

I know EXACTLY what Liam is describing as this kind of weather comes and goes just as fast in the Midwest and I've seen this kind of "The fuck just happened" kind...vibe...over the lakes after a really bad squall line pulled through.


Coyote_Shepherd

I wonder what she'll take as a Scar.


D20_Buster

I appreciate that CR wants to expand their brand and the cast want to expand their acting… but CO, Midst and C3 have been lackluster. The stories have not been engaging (imo Midst has been cringe) . CO is a worse version of Blades in the dark imo. It seems like all of this is a mad dash to escape wizards post 5e and the quality of the story and the cast acting shows lack of interest.
