Jester tells a tale, but how far off-course will the retold story sail? The cast of Critical Role gives the game "telephone" a story-telling twist when Laura Bailey records a Wildemount story, passing it on to a cast member who can watch it only once before retelling it to another who passes it on, and so on! How much of the story will survive the chaos?

This Narrative Telephone originally aired Tuesday, April 28th at: twitch.tv/criticalrole

    Laura forcing the entire cast to do Jester impressions while trying to retell the most rambling story ever is THE most Jester thing she's ever done and I am so here for it.
  • @ryutheslayer123
    I completely forgot that Jester has the ability to say 10,000 words in the span of 10 seconds
  • @leonielson7138
    Laura: "Heart-shaped rock." Liam: "Hut-shaped rock." Sam: "Rock-shaped hut."
  • @lauren-ko7mr
    shes russian! shes italian! shes yiddish! shes french! shes from brooklyn! shes jester!
  • @Verillionmiles
    The Traveller just sat on Jester's bed getting progressively drunker and trying to recite the same story clearly.
  • @pigeon5935
    Laura: So my mom was preoccupied working Everyone: Ruby of the sea is the best lay ever
  • @blimpvapor
    I love that at the end of Ashley's story there's no treasure. You find this hippogriff named Shmoopie, give him the desert plum, and then just hang out and have a good time.
  • @teagannam
    From Laura to Liam there was an instant jump from Jester telling a rambling fairy tale to Dr. Doofenshmirtz doing a rambling monologue and I am HERE for it
  • most everybody's Jester impression: [varying degrees of eastern European accents] Ashley's first attempt at a Jester impression: [heavy Brooklyn accent]
  • @biker9476
    Jester is literally that kid going “have you ever had a dream where-you um- you cou- um you, you, you could do anything” while everyone else goes cross eyed.
  • @straystars19
    Ashley Johnson going "HELLO my name is Jesturr" five times in wildly different accents really does give me life
  • "Four days north of Nicodranas lays a dessert..." matt.exe stopped responding
  • “Why is this video an hour long?” watches jester telling the story “Oh god”
  • @agent00puffball
    After Liam's story: Hey this might actually go pretty well. After Sam's story: Nope never mind.
  • The genius of this is: every story derailed still sound exactly like jester, so it's almost impossible to know what was added by the others. Jesters so chaotic it all would be realistically from her
  • Everyone: “The desert four days north of Nicodranas.” Matt: confused geography noises.
  • @OneTrueBelmont
    Laura Bailey's Traveler: Fairly good impersonation of Matt Mercer Sam Reigel's Traveler: Obbey the Rat.
  • I love that Laura started with "if you eat the plum, you will be stuck in the grove forever" and later Taliesin calls it the Persephone Plum.
