Waste and Webs

 is the tenth episode of the second campaign of Critical Role. The Mighty Nein delve into the sewers of Zadash in search of the mysterious beast that has been terrorizing the Crownsguard...

Pre-Show
On the Twitch stream, a Critical Role fan art slideshow played before the episode began. The slideshow repeated partially until the episode began. The slideshow featured a new song by Colm McGuinness ("KawlumPlaysGuitar" on YouTube) called "Welcome to Wildemount" ("a lead-in of hype").

Announcements

 * Tonight, we have dual sponsors:
 * D&D Beyond is offering up a new discount code for 25% off on any single purchase in the D&D Beyond marketplace. Use the code "invisiblewand" at checkout.  Sam does a D&D Beyond ballet to the tune of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a: No. 2b, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
 * Far Cry 5 is available on March 27, 2018 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Vax'ildan does the sponsor ad from the afterlife...which the Raven Queen gave him literally four minutes ago.  Go to farcry.com to learn more and pre-order a copy...but there aren't any computers where Vax is.  The latest installment of Far Cry is set in the fictional Hope County, Montana, where a fanatical doomsday cult known as "The Project at Eden's Gate" has taken control.  You (the player) are the hero of the story in a thrilling world that hits back with every punch, and where the places you discover and the locals you ally with will shape your story in ways you will never see coming.  Travis says the multiplayer is SO good.  Vax also mentions that during the break, there will be a Nerdist "training video" in which Kyle Hill, Dan Casey, and Erika Ishii go out into the field and attempt to recreate challenges the player will face in-game: shooting, car drifting, dog training, and more.  Vax asks that the Critters send him some comic books, because he is really bored in the afterlife.
