* BlackComedy:

** [[spoiler: Chapter 14 has Dorian's brother Cyrus arrested and temporarily released, and forces both brothers to leave the group and fly out of Jrusar.]]

---> '''Orym:''' What did Cinna Brightbow throw at me when I was tied up on stage?!\\

** [[spoiler: Bertrand Bell & Ariks Eshteross both died permanently throughout the campaign, with Eshteross killed with the poison that prevents resurrection magic.]]
** [[spoiler: Orym lost his husband Will and father-in-law Derrig during an attack on Zephrah and the weapons that killed them had that same poison.]]

%%* OnlySaneMan: Ashton believes Orym to be this for Bell's Hells
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: For Vasselheim. In Episode 64, it's noted that a bunch of armed forces from across Exandria are gathering at Jrussar--including a large contingent from Vasselheim. To quote tumblr user rainbowcaleb:
--> Vasselheim never leaves, and they never send aid abroad--''and yet they are here.''

** [[spoiler: Dusk joined the party after being rescued and told everyone she was close with Fearne's long-lost parents. She was [[DramaticIrony revealed to the audience]] to be working with the Unseelie and later revealed to the party to be a changeling named Yu, who was hunting Fearne's parents down over their theft of the Moontide Crown and used Fearne to lure them out of hiding.]]
** [[spoiler: After Bells Hells was split up on the Apogee Solstice, the half that landed in Issylra was joined by three guest players. After telling Team Issylra he was a simple shepherd with no magic experience and spending multiple episodes traveling and fighting with them, Bor'Dor was pressured by Deni$e into confessing his lies, immediately attempting to kill the group and revealing that he was one of the Ruby Vanguard who was fighting against Bells Hells on the Apogee Solstice. He became the first player character in the history of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' to be murdered by another party member because of this. Even worse, according to [[WordOfGod Utkarsh]], Bor'Dor's original plan was to attempt to kill them mid-teleport.]]

** Creator/SamRiegel has said that F.C.G.'s accent was based on that of Creator/JackMcBrayer. He got plenty of time to study it when they played Emperor Awesome and the title character in ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder''.

* SixthRangerTraitor:
** [[spoiler: Dusk, an elf paladin who told the group she was close with Fearne's long-lost parents, was later revealed to be the Unseelie changeling Yu, who was hunting Fearne's parents down over their theft of the Moontide Crown and used Fearne to lure them out of hiding.]]

*** In a similar vein, episode 64 involves a messed up teleportation spell that smacks our heroes around like pachinko balls ''and nearly kills Imogen''. When they come out the other end, a different Aeormaton (guest player Christian Navarro) [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 is stuck talking in Spanish.]]

** Thanks to an oddly high number of successful perception checks, Sam has taken to deliberately talking over the perception whispers by simply re-reading his ProductPlacement from before the session started, often with help from the rest of the cast.

'''Orym: That's wrong but I still think it's you!

* ContinuityNod: In episode 7, the group sees several show posters from previous attractions in the Dreamscape Theater, including one for "To Kill A God: A Scanlan Shorthalt One-Man Show".

-->'''Matt:''' Otohan goes for a heart strike, and there is a [[spoiler: dark flash in the air. You see where Otohan's blade was. Instead you see a cloak of feathers, black raven feathers. You see a masked figure with long dark hair who is now standing over and protecting her body, daggers in each hand:]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Vax:]]''' Don't you even dare.

** In Episode 29, Imogen tries Detect Thoughts on Birdie and probes deeper. A failed saving throw prompts a long whisper from Matt that leaves Laura speechless, and she begins to convey what she learned to the party with one question.

* Creator/UtkarshAmbudkar as Bor'Dor Dog'Son, half-elf sorceror

* SchmuckBait: While on watch in Episode 17, Ashton and Laudna spot a little fairy-like creature. And despite ''knowing'' they shouldn't mess with it, they give in to the temptation to try and make contact, even waking up Imogen and Fearne to aid them. It is, of course, a trap.
* SentimentalHomemadeToy: The [[spoiler:werewolf]] gnome woodcarver Chetney Pock O'Pea is a GrumpyOldMan (over 400, and proportionately grumpy), but as he becomes friends with the PlayerParty, he starts making each of them a personalized wooden toy.

* Creator/AimeeCarrero as Mona[[spoiler: /Deni$e Bembachula]], dwarf rogue / barbarian

*** In a similar vein, episode 63 involves a messed up teleportation spell that smacks our heroes around like pachinko balls ''and nearly kills Imogen''. When they come out the other end, a different Aeormaton (guest player Christian Navarro) [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 is stuck talking in Spanish.]]

** Episode 63 has Deanna, FRIDA and Prism leave Bell's Hells to find out more information on Ludinis and Predathos.

* CliffHanger: Episode 58 ends with the Chetney-Imogen-Fresh-Fearne party dealing with the Staff of Dark Odyssey, and Laura has to make a roll... but they never reveal the result. The next episode switches over to the Laudna-Orym-Ashton party instead. [[spoiler:We learn in episode 63 that the teleportation spell failed, and they have to wait until the next day and try again.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: For Vasselheim. In Episode 63, it's noted that a bunch of armed forces from across Exandria are gathering at Jrussar--including a large contingent from Vasselheim. To quote tumblr user rainbowcaleb:

-->'''F.C.G.:''' [[CrossesThelineTwice "I can't tell if she's breathing because she doesn't have a head!"]]

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Occurs in Episode 28 after the race is over. [[spoiler:Imogen uses Detect Thoughts on Dusk, only for Matt to say that it doesn't work because there isn't a mind to read on Dusk. This is just moments before Dusk pulls a FaceHeelTurn and reveals that she's a changeling who's working for a god that wants the Calloway family line dead.]]

* LighterAndSofter: While by no means devoid of dark or intense themes, Campaign 3 has so far been much more humorous and silly compared to the early parts of Campaign 2.

* CliffHanger: Episode 58 ends with the Chetney-Imogen-Fresh-Fearne party dealing with the Staff of Dark Odyssey, and Laura has to make a roll... but they never reveal the result. The next episode switches over to the Laudna-Orym-Ashton party instead.

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: Chapter 14 has Dorian's brother Cyrus arrested and temporarily released, and forces both brothers to leave the group and fly out of Jrusar.]]
