Laura Bailey's Favorite Critical Role Romance Changed Campaign 3 Forever
A single kiss changed everything in Critical Role's Campaign 3.
Critical Role's Laura Bailey played a significant role in the development of a romantic storyline that altered Campaign 3 forever. As co-founder Bailey, who played sorcerer Imogen Temult, witnessed the rise of this unique love story between Imogen and Laudna, an undead sorceress and warlock. Throughout episodes 1-65 of Campaign 3, Imogen and Laudna found solace in each other's company, despite Imogen's telepathic powers causing her to struggle with feelings of jealousy and insecurity.
The romantic tension between the pair reached its peak in episode 65, known as "Path of Vengeance." Here, Bailey confirmed the couple's love for one another with a single question: "Can I kiss you?" The kiss, though unplanned, became a pivotal moment for both characters and viewers alike. Imogen, who had been physically separated from Laudna by a magical item that kept Laudna's thoughts out of Imogen's mind, was finally reunited with her love interest.
This reunion brought newfound clarity to Imogen regarding Laudna's feelings, leading to a passionate confession of love.
The dynamic between Imogen and Laudna was further complicated by the presence of Delilah Briarwood, an adversary who controlled Laudna's mind. However, the pair managed to trap Delilah's soul in an anchor within Laudna, allowing Imogen and Laudna to plan a future together. Although there is speculation that an Imodna wedding one-shot may occur in the future, this romantic subplot has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on Critical Role fans, and it will forever be remembered as one of the show's most memorable and unconventional romances.
