Resurrection Rituals

Thanks to @advocatingavian for the art!

Given the events of episode 68, we’ve received a few asks about what Vox Machina can do. The most obvious choice is to get to Pike, which can happen in many ways at this point, so we’ll just discuss the various spell options they have at their disposal, and what we’ve seen from resurrections in the past. (Spoiler warnings for 68 under the cut.)

In-Party Conflict

/

Anonymous Asked: I'm kind of curious if you guys know how many times the members of Vox Machina have attacked each other intentionally - like for example Scanlan punching Percy in the stockade, or Grog attacking Percy for the skull?

For the purposes of this answer, we aren’t including attacks that are intended for other creatures-like Area of Effect spells where a party member wasn’t the target- or if the damage dealt to a party member was unintentional.

Another set of Quick Answers!  Lots of reminiscing this time around.

Do you guys happen to remember when Percy said he wanted to visit the temple of the Raven Queen?

Episode 42 (3:36:43). He never made the trip, but we imagine Taliesin would have been very interested to see traces of her influences again, especially since he saw her influence in a different campaign.

In what episode did Grog trip Vax, and what were their rolls for it?

Episode 5 (1:43:50). Grog: 24. Vax: 22.
