In case you haven’t joined the Critter community yet, Critical Role is our Dungeons & Dragons RPG show where a group of geeky voice actors roleplay fantastic and memorable stories. Though they’ve wrapped up their current adventure, the world lives on in the Critical Role sourcebook, our Chronicles of Exandria art book, the Vox Machina comic book, and in song through character playlists, like this one.

Pike was often torn between her duty to Sarenrae to care for the people and her best friends in Vox Machina, but she always found a way to be there when her allies needed her the most. Whether she was helping them with a healing spell or a kind word, Pike always knew just what to do when a friend was hurting. But that doesn’t make Pike a softie—if you cross her, you’ve unleashed a monster. On her incredible journey with Vox Machina, Pike was able to find closure with her family and come face to face with her beloved deity. With her on that adventure is Ashley Johnson, who played Pike and put together this playlist to encapsulate Pike’s adventure. Find the playlist and her insights for the songs below.

Elastic Heart – Sia

The heart stretches far. Across the world and across the country sometimes, in Pike’s (my) case.

This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) – Talking Heads

Home is where I want to be.

Religion – Howard

Sometimes Pike was pulled away to do Saranrae’s work. As with anyone who practices their faith, there are times you get frustrated in it. The parameters you must live by. But at the end of the day, Pike is a faithful servant.

My Arms Were Always Around You- Peter Bradley Adams

For Scanlan. It was you all along. And my arms were always around you.

Losers- The Belle Brigade

We all started wanting to be the badass, but we matured, through many battles and hard times and realized, we’re all just a bunch of losers. But we’re a family of losers that can sometimes kick some major ass.

Heavy- Birdtalker

Family.

A Milli – Lil Wayne

Battle Time. Obviously.

Hypnotize – The Notorious B.I.G.

Grog and Pike walking into a bar. Slo-Mo.

Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now – Starship

Cue ending-credit montage with Vox Machina.

You’re so cool – Hans Zimmer

For my stringbean.
