Ok, just need to mention: Matt's words when this scene happened in the campaign "I just destroyed something that I built... It's a really weird feeling." While maniacally rubbing his hands together. Dude is dangerous.

2023-08-23 05:31:17 +0000 UTCAcid Boy (Umbrasyl) is actually a black dragon, black dragons get Acid as their breath weapon, whereas poison girl (Raishan) is a green dragon, they have poison breath.

2023-01-28 21:56:56 +0000 UTCUnless they changed it recently, in 5e dragons don't get true sight according to the statblock for ancient dragons. Might have been true for older versions and you never know with crit role since Matt Mercer home brews so much of his stuff anyways. They however are incredibly intelligent and wise so can easily pierce through illusions if they take the time to observe them. If anything, he probably saved vs Scanlans DC for his illusion spell.

2023-01-26 04:12:01 +0000 UTCYou two brought it up in the beginning slightly, but much like you did some funny moments of dubbed JoJo part 2 I think it would be fun to see your reaction to some funny moments in the actual Vox Machina Campaign. Atleast some of the early episodes upto the end of the Briarwood arc, there's plenty of great moments thst had to unfortunately be cut from the animated show in order for it to flow well narratively.

2023-01-21 17:42:39 +0000 UTCIt was a bit confusing but there is a Fire Boy, Ice Boy, Poison Girl and Acid boy. Poison Girl and Acid boy are both green colored and well they share a familiar element so they are easy to get confuzed, A good way i found is that Poison girl only does gas, and she has a wide mouth/jaw, while acid boy is liquid and he has a sharp snout that goes to a point. Also the dude who died in front of Scanlan was the old dude who he seduced at the ball with his "Pull on my beads of love song"

2023-01-21 14:20:02 +0000 UTCAs a series only watcher, I have a worried feeling that "tough little tyke" with the green eyes was the green dragon

2023-01-21 09:19:11 +0000 UTCoh we post three episodes a week for vox homie ^^
aliciaxlife
2023-01-21 05:55:50 +0000 UTCYes! Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the episodes :) Please please please don't let this series take a backseat. If Jojo's gets multiple weekly uploads, Vox Machina should get some extra love too. Once a week would be painful considering they release 3 per week.

2023-01-21 03:37:05 +0000 UTCAnd the almost immediate realization that a 22 is its AC, and everyone was like I'm sorry whazzit-wha-huh? Very crazy, especially to drop four of them on Emon like that out of seemingly nowhere
Seth
2023-01-21 02:11:25 +0000 UTCAlso yes you guys grabbed the elemental breath weapons pretty on the nose, for the chromatic dragons there is Red = fire, Blue = Lightning, Green = Poison, Black = Acid, and White = Ice, all of which are on the evil spectrum of dragons. There are also metallic dragons that are on the good spectrum, I never watched the whole campaign so I genuinely don't know if there are any metallic dragons in this story, but save for poison they have the same breath attacks, two of which have fire. If this is too much let me know but in regards to how amazingly close this is to the source material it is amazing, I love this lol
Seth
2023-01-21 02:09:48 +0000 UTCSo if you want, I would genuinely look up the actual moment of this in the campaign, Vox Machina Chroma Conclave attack or something similar should bring it up, the players genuinely had never faced something this strong and had great reactions to how outclassed they truly were time and time again
Seth
2023-01-21 02:05:44 +0000 UTCThey captured the moment of the Campaign so well in this. The sheer horror of the moment after riding the high of a victory well won... A little story of Vox Machina. Liam O'Brien, who plays Vax'ildan, was having a birthday and mentioned he hadn't played a tabletop game in a long time. Matt Mercer ran a Pathfinder game for him and some friends that was meant to be a one shot... it lasted for 3 years. In those three years the story arc involving Brimscythe goes down, before they switched to 5e and started streaming it on Twitch.

2023-01-20 22:45:59 +0000 UTCEverything about the dragons I adore. Their designs, voices, and love how expressive they’ve been animated. 🤤

2023-01-20 21:46:22 +0000 UTCThat makes a lot of sense!!! Nice catch
Wayne Wu
2023-01-20 19:10:41 +0000 UTCGood point. I also took it as a nod at Dragonlance since Liam and Matt are both huge fans (and Matt has even said the Cataclysm in DL is an inspiration for the Calamity in the history of Exandra).

2023-01-20 19:05:25 +0000 UTCSome Easter Eggs: In addition to being a callback to the first season, The Lance of Dragon Slaying might also be a subtle nod to Percy’s Dragon Slayer Longsword, but he rarely uses it in the campaign since he mainly sticks to using his guns. The reason why the illusion doesn’t work is because ancient dragons have Truesight, which lets them see through invisibility and illusions. Brimscythe was barely an adult dragon so it worked on him, but it couldn’t fool Vorugal (the ancient white dragon).
Wayne Wu
2023-01-20 18:25:05 +0000 UTCFun fact, the creepy dark lady Vax saw is showing up way earlier than she did in the campaign. I absolutely LOVE that they are already teasing her part in this, I am so excited to see you react to this whole story arc.
GingerBardMan
2023-01-20 18:11:20 +0000 UTCMuch like the Last of Us live action series, I love the choices so far to condense and clean up the source material from the campaign to the animated series. I'm sure this season is going to feel like a rocket with how fast paced it's going to be, but I am here for it.
JaySpotTx
2023-01-20 16:14:28 +0000 UTCAnother fun fact from the game. At this point in the story the party was level 11/12 which is where most prewritten 5e campaigns end. and they still could not even hit the dragons.
blue cloak
2023-01-20 16:14:01 +0000 UTCThe absolute shookness that hit his face when told a 19 doesn't hit, and the whole table. It was like, ok RUN, RUN NOW.
JaySpotTx
2023-01-20 16:13:12 +0000 UTCSo some cool info around these events in the og campaign. -The game had already been running for a little less than three years before they even started to stream it meaning so at the point this event happened in the campaign the party was much more connected to the people of Emon making this destruction so much worse. -Grog's axe breaking is a reference to when Travis the player rolled a 19 on the attack to hit and was told it missed. prior to this a 19 had been enough to hit anything they had fought. -Dragons get more powerful with age. As vex said in the episode these are ancient. Brimscythe was only a young dragon.
Dixon Garner
2023-01-20 15:52:33 +0000 UTCThe scene where Grog broke his axe, was because Travis rolled a 19 to hit and was told that 19 misses. Travis' face was pure shock, as a 19 pretty much hit anything up until this point.

2023-01-20 14:14:39 +0000 UTCHell of an opening for this second series! Starting stronger then the first and I'm sure this momentum will keep up to the end. Great seeing you two and can't wait for the next episode :)
Joey Cat
2023-01-20 12:41:35 +0000 UTCThere are compilations on youtube that show just the big moments from the game that made it into the show like the sun tree and sovereign Uriel's proclamation. That would probably be the best way for you to see them without having to sift through hours and hours of footage.

2023-01-20 09:59:32 +0000 UTCI've been looking forward to season 2 so much! Your season 1 reactions are how I found your channel. If you're interested in in game moments that made it into the show then the moment where grog attacked the green dragon and broke his axe is a re imagining of when in game , he rolled like a 22 or something to attack and Matt was like "nope doesn't do shit".

2023-01-20 09:57:16 +0000 UTCThanks for the episode

2023-01-20 09:36:49 +0000 UTCAlso, 8:14, the voice of Raishan is the voice actress for Kida from Atlantis the last empire. Vorugal, the white dragon was voiced by Liam O' Brien (Vax) and Umbracyl, the black dragon by Matt Mercer (The DM and Silas Briarwood) Thordak is Lance Reddick
bandi138138
2023-01-20 09:29:23 +0000 UTCThe blue lightning dragon was Brimscythe, The Iron Storm. The white ice dragon is Vorugal, The Frigid Doom. The black acid dragon is Umbracyl, The Hope Devourer. The green poison dragon is Raishan, The Diseased Deceiver. And finally, the largest of them all, the red one is Thordak, The Cinder King. Thus is the Chroma Conclave upon us!
