The Mighty Nein have arrived, survived, and thrived in Hupperdook. What is it about gnomes that makes them hardcore partiers. They learned some hard truths about drinking in a party town; number one being: Don’t drink around pick pockets. Also, try and avoid fighting prison automatons. There’s something about rolling balls of bladed death that captures the imagination, and shrapnel to the face. There was fights, there was high emotion, and a tearful goodbye and Matt Mercer managed to create another tsunami of tears with Kiri’s goodbye. We also saw Nott pick a pocket and become a new firearm owner. This leads into our Question of the Week.
Question of the Week looks at Percy and Nott. Will Nott’s theft ping Percy’s radar? Will we see the Heir of Whitestone come out east and deal with a reckless goblin? Place your vote and let us know what you think will happen.
Remaking this poll and adding more time. =)

The first shout out this week goes to Dani G and this image of Beau. The lineless technique works so well here. It brings out memories of Samurai Jack. The facial expression and the attitude is captured in her pose. This is a great depiction of our favourite trash monk. You could easily see this as a sticker or a pin. It recreates all the confidence that Beau projects, yet still shows she’s just a kid with that hint of freckles under the eyes.
It’s a wonderful image, thank you for creating this.
Been really wanting to practice lineless art again. So here's a Beau! ?#CriticalRole #criticalrolefanart pic.twitter.com/sC7Wla6EPQ

Our second shout out goes to everyone’s favourite Birb. Kiri the Kenku created by Leesha Hannigan is beautiful. It is probably the best depiction of a Kenku we have ever seen. The details in the feathers, the eyes, and claws are a perfect morph of corvid and humanoid. The background gives a bit of an ominous tone to the image, but the eyes show youth, they show optimism and hope. It what could lean heavy into a darker theme, actually inspires a smile. Maybe it’s the bias of the character we’ve seen develop on the stream, but it’s a great piece that shows how beautiful our lil’ birb is. Kiri is hitting an almost Gilmore level type of adoration, and we are all for it. This image helps put Kiri into the upper echelon of brilliant NPC’s we have all fallen in love with.
Leesha, you have made an awesome piece. The life like details are amazing, thank you.
I had to find time to paint a little Kiri! ? #criticalrolefanart #CriticalRole pic.twitter.com/3cS70nrH6c
