First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

The first episode of The Mighty Nein, a new animated series based on Critical Role's second campaign, is available for free on YouTube. Prime Video posted the episode on YouTube in the early morning today, providing fans and newcomers alike with a free preview of its series ahead of its launch next week.

While set in the same world as The Legend of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein is a standalone series and requires no previous knowledge of either Critical Role or The Legend of Vox Machina to enjoy. The first few episodes of the new show serve as a prequel to the events of Campaign 2, providing more concrete origin stories and what the characters were up to ahead of the events of the first episode of the campaign.

You can check out the new episode below until November 16th.

After an explosion at the border, Wildemount is on the brink of War. Beauregard Lionett investigates the scene of an explosion, uncovering a sinister scheme lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, Caleb Widogast teams up with an unlikely ally to break into a magical pet shop.

Jester - Trickery Cleric

Bingo.

Fjord - Fathomless Warlock

Hexblade, actually, though I'm actually pretty certain the Fathomless is based off of Fjord and the stuff that is being revealed about the source of the blade, based on the timing of Campaign 2and the relevant UA

Caleb - Wizard...subclass no idea. I honestly thought he was a Sorcerer for some reason, until they very explicitly talked about him going to magic school. They also talked about his magic "requiring components" as if that was a Wizard-explicit thing. Kinda wish it was, but any class running off something DMs only sometimes enforce is not gonna be good, doubly so if it's already the most versatile caster.

Transmuter, though that hasn't fully come up yet. Liam O'Brianreally leaned into roleplaying all the Material components in the Campaign, and spent all his time and money shopping for components and spellbound materials. They haven't brought up his Spellbook in this show, but part of his being reduced to Level 1 in RP terms was losing his Spellbook.

Big Sword Lady - Could be Fighter or Barbarian, but her outfit has furs and she wears facepaint so I vote Berserker Barbarian. Keeping it classic. I vaguely recall she is looking for the Beacon or something from her 5 seconds of screentime.

Zealot Barbarian.

Nott - Thief Rogue, only because the idea of Nott being anything more complicated than that seems absurd, and there's no Drunken Master Rogue.

Arcane Trickster, but to be fair they haven't actually gotten to Level 3 territory yet in the show. Nott learns magic from Caleb.

Mollymauk - Bloodhunter. I actually asked my CR-watching friend and he confirmed this for me, and told me this class was originally made for Vin Diesel. I'm sure this class has subclasses but I don't know what they are, or anything about this class really. He licks blood off the ground and cuts open his own chest. Thought he was a Divination Wizard up until he started doing sword tricks (this might also be why I thought Caleb was a Sorcerer, because I thought only my DM is silly enough to allow a 2-Wizard party.)

Yup, honestly don't remember the Subclass. The Blood Hunter stuff ends up being very important. The tarot cards are just carnie bs, as he suggests in the show, but Taliesin Jaffee's cold readings were pretty effective in the game.

Beauregard - Open Hand Monk since I haven't seen her use any supernatural looking abilities.

Cobalt Soul, a Subclass from the Tal'Dorei campaign book.

Bonus round: What species is Fjord? Currently I assume half-orc.

Yup.
