THE DRAW OF DESTINY

Imogen and Laudna are riding the cable cars, Imogen holding onto Laudna's arm. Laudna asks if Imogen is feeling okay, and Imogen says that she just never gets used to them. She comments that they should get better cable's, and Laudna says that might in time. She asks if Imogen feels good about her essay, and Imogen says that she's not. Laudna says that she liked it, and Imogen just hopes that the Starpoint Conservatory will give them the time of day. Once off the cars, Laudna asks if Imogen is still adjusting to the heights and Imogen says once their off the cables she sees how beautiful it is.

After their request is rejected, Imogen suggests that they should just become student and wonders how they do that. Laudna always assumed the conservatory was for rich people and Imogen agrees. Imogen then opens up her mind and is bombarded by other people's thoughts. Laudna asks if she's okay and Imogen inists that she's fine. Laudna says that they should get out of here as things get more crowded, and Imogen says that they need to stop for groceries.

As they walk through the shops, arm and arm, Imogen complains about how they're never going to be able to find out anything and suggest just leaving the city. Laudna says that she'd had high hopes for the place, and Imogen says that they'd done well there. Laudna agrees, especially given that she expected to be run out by now. She then notices some kids who are slightly scared of her, and decides to try and play with them, only for them to be thoroughly scared and run away. Imogen says that doesn't go over as well as she thinks it does, and Laudna says that she loves kids as she shows off her scary face. Imogen says that kids love fun scary, which Laudna insists that she is, but Imogen says that she's scary scary. But in a good way. Laudna says that the kids might know something, which Imogen brushes off before realizing they could sneak into the conservatory for them. Laudna tries to summon them back but Imogen doesn't think that will work. Unable to find them Imogen says that they'll see her in their dreams tonight and head back home.

After agreeing to meet Lord Esteross with the group they met earlier, the two start to make it home. Laudna asks Imogen how she feels and she says it was very overwhelming. She said it was interesting to see more people who do the same thing as them, and Laudna asks if Imogen got anything off of them. Imogen didn't hear anything particular, but everyone seemed real nice. Laudna suggests that this might give them some recognition, and Imogen says it might get them into the Conservatory. Laudna says if it goes wrong they also have the option to leave, and Imogen says that at worst they'll get some money out of it. Laudna says that she's grown to like their host, which Imogen agrees with. She hopes she doesn't mind a few cracked eggs, and Laudna says that they can just blame it on the broom.

TRIAL BY FIRELIGHT

FCG asks Lauda if she wants to check in with the other team, Laudna quickly calling Imogen. She asks how things are going and Imogen hastily tries to explain what's going on. She eventually gets out that she and Bertram are going after Danas while Orym goes inside and Dorian waits out front. Laudna informs FCG, and FCG asks if they need any help. Laudna sends a message but gets out of range and says that they're off living their best lives.

ON THE TRAIL OF A KILLER

After waking up from a nightmare, Imogen quickly wakes Laudna in their bed. She asks if Imogen had another nightmare, and asks if she's okay. Imogen says that she is, but says that she saw Bertrand in the dream, unsure of what it means. Just knows that no one has ever appeared before. Laudna asks what feeling she got from it, and Imogen says that Bertrand looked at peace in the terrifying storm. Laudna takes her hand to comfort her, and says that there is an element of truth to the dream. She asks if they should find the others and Imogen asks if they should go back to the tavern to check on him. Laudna says she's up for a midnight stroll and Imogen starts to get dressed. Laudna brings her over some water and Imogen tries to assure herself that it was probably nothing.

They retrace their steps and Laudna suggests if they can't find Bertrand they try to find the others. After getting no help from the barkeep, they head upstairs and start calling for him. They find Orym and he tells them the room number, but they get confused by the numbering system of the doors. Fearne and Dorian wake up as well, and Laudna explains that Imogen had a bad feeling about Bertrand. Imogen says it's dumb, but Laudna assures her that it isn't. Imogen explains to the others that she had a dream about him, and Laudna explains that Imogen's dreams never seem to steer the two of them wrong.

After they bring Bertrands body to Lord Esteross, Imogen mourns beside it. Laudna then comes up to her and gives her a hug. She assures her that they'll figure it out, and Imogen says that she knows. Laudna does wonder what gifts that they haven't even seen are inside of Imogen and says that she's sorry. Imogen wishes that they had seen something sooner, and Laudna knows how much of a burden the gift is. Laudna can only guess how much dumb shit people have in their heads, and Imogen says that Bertrand was full of it. Laudna asks if Imogen has ever lost someone so close to her, and Imogen says she hasn't. Imogen always knew that the voice in her head was her mothers, and it made her feel hope, but now with everything...Laudna says that there can still be hope, or at least a warning to keep her from the same danger. Imogen tries to convince herself that could be the case.

GROWING BONDS AND TEASING THREADS

While playing "What the Fuck is Up With That?" Laudna rolls to ask while Imogen rolls to answer. Laudna thinks it's a little redundant since they already know each other, but wants to ask a question anyway. Imogen says they don't need to play a game to ask her questions, which Laudna knows, but she's gonna take advantage anyway. She asks how Imogen feels about using her father as collateral for the Hubatt Corsairs, but Imogen got the feeling that they weren't going to go after him for no reason at all. So he should be safe. Laudna asks if she thinks he's doing well, since they left in a hurry and Imogen thinks he might be doing better now that she's gone. She explains how rough it got once her powers started coming in and the judgement from people in town, but that Laudna showing up was the first time she ever felt peace. Orym asks how long the two of them have been traveling together, and they simultaneously answer two years. Laudna says that they're pretty good at being hermits together.

Laudna finishes her conversation with Delilah and Imogen asks if she was talking to her. Laudna says that Delilah's mad because she got a little chatty and Imogen asks if Delilah's ever done anything to her. Laudna says that she's made threats, but other than that, nothing. Imogen really wants to get into the institute and Laudna says if she keeps strengthening her skills, she won't need Delilah. Imogen asks if she's listening and Laudna's pretty sure she is. Laudna hasn't really strayed far from Delilah till recently but will tell Imogen if she starts getting aggressive. One of the reason's Imogen thinks they need a group name is so they can get a contract and get into the institute. Laudna will keep thinking on it and hopefully something will inspire them. Laudna asks how Imogen is and Imogen was trying really hard not to get into everyone's head. She admits to accidenetally reading Dorian's and Laudna excitedly asks what she saw. Imogen just saw him with his mom and they both agree that Dorian is a sweetheart. They wish each other goodnight, but Laudna tells Imogen to wake her if there's any other nightmares, and Imogen says that Laudna knows she will.

Imogen starts describing the way she reads the group's minds to Orym when she thinks back to when she first met Laudna. To her, Laudna was at a different pitch than everyone else. It was musical instead of painful.

CHASING NIGHTMARES

After being told that Imogen can enter the conservatory, Laudna assures her that she can take all the time she needs after working so hard for this. She asks if Imogen knows what she's looking for, but Imogen becomes flustered and knows that Laudna wanted to do research as well. Laudna says that maybe if Imogen proves that she's responsible everyone else can come in next time, and Imogen tells her to send her anything she wants to look up via their connection.

Fanon
Laudna and Imogen were quickly shipped by many Critical Role fans, becoming the most popular ship early on in Campaign 3. Early speculation on their relationship had many questioning if they were together or just friends. Many love how much the two care for each other, and show a lot of concern for each other. Many were excited when the two became canon, as despite how close they were it was hard to determine if it was romantic or not. As Marisha and Laura tend to play characters who are close. A lot of wlw fans also pointed out that the two really captured the lesbian experience TM, by having the two be best friends who don't admit their feelings for each other, and having their first kiss in a farmers market.

On AO3, Imodna is the most written ship for both Laudna and Imogen. It is also the sixth most written ship in the Critical Role tag, and the most written ship for Campaign 3. There are currently 1160+ written works.
