It's SO funny that Travis made Bertrand to die in The Search for Grog, Matt legitimately tried very hard to kill him but failed through no fault of his own, Travis brought him back for Campaign 3, he and Matt designed to on-rails kill him and did so successfully... and now he's back as the example character for Daggerheart character creation. Sir Bertrand Bell is forever.

Ya'll. Bertrands sword was also cursed. Travis is actually up to 4 cursed blades now.

It’s Thursday!
A Bells Hells poster to round out my Critical Role poster set. (A big shoutout to every single person who asked me if I'd be doing a Bells Hells one at every con I've been to since campaign 3 started, lol)
Who are your favorite characters this campaign? I'm a big sucker for Dorian and Imogen!

With Graz'tchar no longer in Chetney's possession (for now?), here's a look at how long it's taken Travis's characters to be parted from their cursed swords.
Episode and day counts are inclusive of the episodes and days acquired and lost, regardless of when in the episode or day that happened. Please have some grace: I'm bad at counting. For the purposes of this list, not all these swords are traditionally cursed—but they all certainly have the emotional weight or vibe of being so.
Grog and Craven Edge: 15 episodes (acquired 1.36, relinquished 1.50); 23 to 17 days (13-19 Duscar to 3 Horisal). This is counting from when it specifically went to Grog. The sword went into the communal bag of holding that Grog had after the fight with the Briarwoods at the ziggurat in 1.34. It went into Percy's possession initially, and he kept it for a week but refused to be its wielder; it was then traded to Grog. Banished into the Dread Emperor's realm after it devoured Grog's soul.
Grog and the Sword of Kas: 4 episodes (acquired 1.112, relinquished 1.115); 1 day in Exandria (15 Misuthar), about 2 days for Grog because of Feywild shenanigans. Acquiring this sword is what accidentally revealed Vox Machina's location to Vecna in Thar Amphala and caused them to flee into the Feywild. After the banishment of Vecna, Grog voluntarily—though the sword put up a fight—gave it to Highbearer Vord.
Fjord and the Sword of Fathoms: 72 episodes (acquired pre-campaign, relinquished 2.72); over 191 days, or about 6 months (roughly 7 Sydenstar to 18 Misuthar). This is counting from when Fjord began traveling with Jester, though he had it a little longer than that since the Tide's Breath sank and Fjord entered his pact an unspecified little bit before that. It was his mechanical pact boon, thus bound to his soul, starting 20 Sydenstar, 177 days. Voluntarily thrown into the lava pools at the Kiln in Kravaraad, breaking his pact.
Bertrand and the Gambler's Blade: 5 episodes (acquired before Search for Grog, relinquished 3.03), or at least 31 years (812 to 843 PD). No hints as to when specifically Bertrand got this sword, but he had it in Search for Grog and still had it when Campaign 3 started. He died with it in his possession—but weirdly enough, it did not contribute to his death. Dorian has it now.
Chetney and Graz'tchar: 6 episodes (acquired 3.67, relinquished 3.72); 4 days (7 Quen'pillar to 10 Quen'pillar). This is counting from when Chet picked it up at the end of 3.67 since it went into his personal inventory then, though it was officially confirmed into his possession at the top of 3.68. Reluctantly given to Novos as part of a deal negotiated by Laudna.
Bonus, because it isn't a sword but I think this is funny—Grog and the cursed adamantine hammer: 1 episode (1.110), less than a day (15 Misuthar). Picked up in the crypts of Thomara, used for one combat during which he hit himself in the face, then immediately discarded.

Imogen's Red Vision
That sequence might've been a nod to another opening title from EXU Kymal that depicts the very same scene on a stained glass!
If I had a nickle.
