An impossible choice proves Sam Riegel a vital player at the table

We’re certain Critters will agree that Critical Role’s latest campaign, Campaign 4, has been a lesson in heartbreak. From the very first episode, which opens with a funeral, to the recurring themes of the cost of revolution and sacrifice, and the premise that any character can die, each episode of Campaign 4 has been an emotional rollercoaster.

Still, the cast of Campaign 4 has been eager to meet head-on every challenge that Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan has thrown their way. That was never clearer than in Campaign 4 episode 37, “Death to Tyrants,” which not only featured one of the tensest moments we’ve ever seen in Critical Role history, but also proved exactly why Sam Riegel may be one of the most memorable players to ever sit down at the table on the show.

Episode 37 picks up where the previous one left off, at the Schemers' table. Wicander Halovar (Sam Riegel) is attacked by assassins during a rendition of Halandil Fang’s (Liam O’Brien) play Ko’therai. Wicander, accompanied by his father Goddard, his mother Iris, and his brother Lioran, was supposed to denounce Hal in front of everyone as soon as the play ended. ” But his family doesn’t know that. Or at least, Wicander assumes that —and quickly realizes how wrong he is.
