* After killing the crab monster, the group returns to the village with a massive supply of crab meat, which is served during the festival. Matt then describes the festival ending with the Dance to the Dreamer, in which the people call upon the crab guardian that has protected this village for ages, and get very confused when [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it fails to show up]]. Nobody seems to have put two and two together yet, leading to a whole bunch of people confused about the lack of crab god while stuffing their faces with crab cakes.
* At the end, Dr. Dranzel's troup is moving on, and the rest of the Glorious Ones decide to come with him. Bramble has always wanted to see Tal'Dorei, Ran wants to give Scanlan some charm lessons, and Bobby...

* The characters, as always, are amazing.
** Because Liam couldn't make it, Sam Riegel had to fill in for him, but didn't have enough time to make a new character. Enter a young Scanlan Shorthalt, who has only just started traveling with Dr. Dranzel's troup and has clearly not developed the confident swagger from Campaign 1 yet. He seems especially fascinated with the idea that you can sleep with women without having to date or emotionally connect with them.
*** Matt also lampshades the problems it's going to cause that, with the addition of guest Sam Richardson, he now has ''two'' people named "Sam R." sitting right next to eachother at his table.
** Laura plays a fairy barbarian named Bramble, who is ''convinced'' that Sam Richardson's character Ranthiel is her boyfriend, despite his repeated insistence that he's not.
** In ''sharp'' contrast to his current character, Taliesin plays an adorable little halfling boy called Bobby Socks, who seems too cheerful to understand that his father doesn't really like him.
* The group encounters a panicked elven woman who trips over and falls on her face in front of them. Bobby rushes over to help her up, at which point Taliesin reasons he'd probably need to make a strength check to see if he can do that. He rolls a 2, and Bobby immediately collapses under the woman's weight. Bramble, who is about the size of a ''mouse'', flies over and [[PintsizedPowerhouse pulls the woman up without a problem]].

* The hilarity of Matt playing a dungeon master in-universe. His Metaverse attire (codename "Nexus") and Persona [[{{Chuunibyou}} lean full "gamer edgelord"]] and has has a ton of fun hamming it up.
* Creator/XantheHuynh plays Van Nguyen/Strike, who seems to be inspired by Haru's MemeticPsychopath treatment in the ''VideoGame/Persona5'' fandom.
* Krystina Arielle plays Penny Matthews/Goddess, a veteran tabletop gamer, ProudBeauty who is [[OnlySaneMan so done with everything.]]
* Creator/RobbieDaymond is playing. Is his character similar to [[VideoGame/Persona5 Goro Akechi?]] No, he plays Jackson Sloan, an OccidentalOtaku whose [[BornUnlucky rolls]] make him essentially the [[ButtMonkey Ryuji or Yosuke]] of the group.
** [[EstablishingCharacterMoment His first action in the first combat]] sees him throwing a shuriken at an enemy. The first hits, he realizes he gets to throw two in a turn... and rolls a Natural 1, getting the second stuck in his own hand and taking damage.
** After Strike inflicts an enemy with blindness, Jackson (Kensei) attacks it in melee... before noting "there's no honor in this" and ''producing a second eyepatch so they can duel on equal terms''. [[EpicFail He rolls another natural 1]], and not only misses but cuts himself. Nexus, exasperated, finishes off that enemy to make it look like Kensei did.
** When deciding how to approach a barricade of vines, Kensei forces the issue by [[WithCatlikeTread beginning a very loud, Dragonball-esque summoning sequence for his Persona]] (which Robbie notes isn't necessary), and casting a fire spell to burn it away.
* Liam's voice for the Legionnaires. In-game, they have HeliumSpeech with a heavy reverb filter, which Liam manages to accurately imitate ''with just his own voice''.
* Liam O'Brien keeps teasing the cast that he has a lot of horrible puns prepared for the session. [[BrickJoke This culminates in]] the oneshot's boss, "Ze Floriste", a tiny gardener Legionnaire with [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys an over-the-top French accent]] and [[HurricaneOfPuns a love of flower puns.]]
