![]() ![]() → Easily the brains of the group, Grog is often consulted for his vast knowledge of shapes, colors, and (chuckle) shiny things! Also ale. → A goliath of towering height and size, this barbarian has an appetite for the two great loves in his life: combat, women, and ale! (chuckle) (record scratch) Wait. → # TRAVIS Right, Listen up! If you have ale, then you have a friend in Grog Strongjaw. → Gripping her holy symbol in one hand, and her morningstar in the other, this time, Pike is ready. → She spent four months at sea training with the men and women aboard a ship called the Broken Howl. → She wanted to be stronger so that it would never happen again. → (roar, crunch) After being killed in battle, Pike felt angry. → Little did she know that in a few years' time, Grog would soon return the favor and bring her back from the clutches of death. → After that, they were best of friends, a rather unlikely pair. → When he awoke, she discovered his name was Grog Strongjaw. → She prayed and healed this barbarian as best she could, bringing him back to life. → One of the goliaths took a stand against the murder of the innocent gnome and he himself was beaten, bloodied, and left for dead, abandoned by his herd. → She lived a peaceful life, quiet and simple, until one day, Wilhand was captured and almost killed by a group of goliath barbarians. → She studied and learned the ways to heal though divine magic. → Whether it was animals, people, or even flowers, she felt she had a purpose in making things whole that had once been broken. → As a child, Pike seemed to have an affinity to heal. → Wilhand devoted his life to Sarenrae and pledged from then on that him and his family would live a life of service and devotion. ![]() → Sarenrae, the goddess of healing and redemption, had other plans for Pike's great-great-grandfather Wilhand, who left his family at a young age after a dream, a dream that changed the course of the Trickfoot family. → Thievery, destruction, and trickery left them with the curse of the last name Trickfoot. → Her ancestors were a family of deep gnomes with quite an unfavorable reputation. → → # ASHLEY Pike grew up on the outskirts of town, near the Bramblewood. → In the meantime, enjoy the character backstories. → So we'll be back here in about 10 minutes or so. ![]() → But also since we have a lot of new people watching, and we figured it would be cool for them to actually get an idea of the character backgrounds, as well, but going forward, we'll just be playing them for the intermission break. → We usually use it as partially a stall method when some of our players haven't gotten here on time. → Probably the last time that we run the character backstories at the start of the show. → We're going to cut to some videos here. → For all the classic folks that have been coming every week, good to see you again for a bunch of newcomers out there as well, welcome and thank you. → This will be our 10th episode, I think, which is awesome. # MATT Welcome, everyone, to this Thursday's episode of Critical Role, where a bunch of us nerdy-ass voice actors get together and play Dungeons & Dragons. ![]()
