Chapter 1: What is the main focus of this episode of Tale Gate?
Why, hello there, Distinguished Campaign 4 listeners. I'm Sam Riegel, and welcome to our new talkback show, Tailgate. In this series, we'll sit down with the cast after each table arc and spill the tea together on all things Campaign 4. Plus, if you're a Beacon member, the soiree will continue with The Nightcap, a Beacon-exclusive segment where we answer all your questions from the Discord chat.
Each Tailgate episode is streamed live on Beacon.tv, YouTube, and Twitch, and will arrive here on the Critical Role Podcast Network one week later. So if you ever want to join in on the live fun, check us out on one of those platforms. All right, without further ado, let's get this Tailgate started.
Good evening, everyone, and welcome back to Tailgate. I'm your host, Whitney Moore, and tonight we are unraveling the web of intrigue spun by our favorite little fingering foursome, the schemer table. I've got thoughts about that phrase. This arc had everything. It had mold monsters, it had fraud, and of course it had titties. Whose titties? King Gus's. That's right, and no one else's.
Chapter 2: How do the cast members reflect on their characters' development?
Those are the only titties that matter now in C4. Let's open the gate!
Royal titties. Bring forth.
Woo! Woo!
Is that it?
That's it, we did it. That's it, we're done. All right, guys.
Slam dunk.
What happens now?
Oh!
Oh, wow.

Chapter 3: What insights do the cast share about their experiences in Campaign 4?
We're in it.
Let's talk about them titties.
I don't know why I was expecting countdown. Well, welcome, everyone. Welcome, everybody in the chat. Welcome to my schemers. How are y'all doing today?
Oh, my goodness. So schemey. So dreamy. Yeah. Steamy. So steamy.
Steamy and schemey.
It's been a big nine to five day, just like the schemers for us.

Chapter 4: How does the discussion highlight fan interactions and creations?
We're tie-tied.
I can't believe you drove home and back.
Well, listen, I'm not going to make you guys think too hard, certainly not as hard as Marisha has been connecting all of the dots in what the fuck is happening in Dolmachiar.
I wish I could make my nose bleed on cue.
Post? What is this? What is this, a live show? I'm gonna open it up with a question for all of y'all, which is, how is everybody handling living a double life?
Well, once again, just like our real double lives, it's fucking exhausting.
Fake one.
The employed table, we've got a lot of shit to do all the time. Yeah.
Just a double life or a triple life?

Chapter 5: What challenges do the characters face in their current arc?
That's my question.
Yeah, Azune. Yeah, Luis. I... Don't know, to be honest.
I am so afraid you're going to trip over one of your lies. Oh, me too.
Oh, what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive. I made that up.
I'm trying to always tell the truth, especially when I lie.
Oh, ditto. That's such an actor thing to say.
That's the way to get through it. Yeah, I've been making a very, very conscious attempt to never technically lie.
That's harder.

Chapter 6: How do the cast members interpret their characters' motivations?
You're a lying by omission kind of a person.
Oh, yeah. Anytime it's roll for persuasion or deception, it's the same number, so it literally is like, it doesn't matter. They're both correct.
My omission is the goaded way to lie, low key.
Or not necessarily even by omission, but often through a misunderstood... Choice of words. Yeah, or even I know that they think one thing or I'll say a thing and they just don't have enough data to really put it all together. It's not my omission, it's theirs.
Yeah, yeah. Well, on that towel, actually, my next question is for you. How has Bolaire been handling biting his tongue about Thiazi and the other schemers? What tongue? Especially Hal. You've been sitting on some juice.
Sitting on a secret.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the assassination plot discussed?
Yeah.
Ah!
You know, there's this thing where like in a friends group where there's just one terrible person and everyone else has just decided that it's fine and
Oh, we've been there.
Yeah, I know you have. And you're just like, well, I suppose this is my life now.
Wait, is this going into your everyone has a worse person they're willing to know?
I mean, I can go into that. I'm a big believer.
A view as a person?
Yeah, that's how I keep thinning my friends group is I pick the worst person I'm willing to know, and if you're below that, then you're not willing to. Well, then I just don't have time. Or if I meet someone, you're just a little bit worse than this person, and then every year you kind of up it. Tell us about your real-life inspirations behind that. No, it's, yeah, Thiazi, man.

Chapter 8: What can listeners expect in the upcoming episodes of Campaign 4?
I have so many feelings on Thiazi. And no one, everyone else is so bloody.
That's not true. You keep saying that, but there's plenty of people who are like, you are correct. Yes, thank you. Far more people are like, oh, Thiazi was amazing. But there are plenty of us that are like. There are plenty of, I am somewhere in the middle.
You are somewhere in the middle because you're a sane person and it's several tables worth of schmuckas, but you know, it is. Yeah, it is that thing where, and I wish I had said this during the game, is like, I absolutely believe that he was working towards a happy ending and a better world. Just, why does everyone think it was for them?
Like, everyone seems to think that they're involved in this and not being, like, specifically being thrown on the pyre, including you.
Sometimes people are different people to the different people in their lives, so it makes sense that Thiazi was one thing to Azuni and another thing to this.
Yeah, and I'm also, like, again, with the sort of games he was playing, I'm perfectly, I perfectly believe that he was willing to, like, let half of us die and honestly planned on half of us dying in this.
Well... Liam, how is Hal feeling about all this new information about his brother?
Well, Hal's in the middle too, but family goes a long way to making up for wrinkles and problems. You have to tolerate the problems in your family because they're your family, for the most part, in most cases, in many cases, in some cases. Love that walk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I look forward in the duration of this story, as long as it turns out to be, to finding out by the end of it more of who Thiazi really was, because Brennan is, by design, only showing us parts of the elephant. We're all, like, feeling the tail and going, it's a snake, it's a snake, but we can't see the whole animal yet.
