Villains Gallery: Underdark and Trial of the Take

Thanks to @brinmataujall for this art piece!

We had an anonymous critter request a while back for us to create a list of villains and information about their intentions and deeds. There have been a lot of big bads over the course of 99 episodes, so many that we can't do them justice in one post. We're breaking them up by story arc, starting with the Underdark and Trial of the Take villains.

Underdark

Duergar General

  • Duergar fighter
  • Led troops at the duergar warcamp
  • Wielded the Firebrand Warhammer
    • Taken after his death by Grog
  • Killed by Clarota

King Murghol

  • Duergar fighter
  • Ruler of the duergar- married to Queen Ulara
  • Served K’varn the Mad
  • Captured and tortured Kima of Vord
  • Killed by Scanlan in his own throne room

Queen Ulara

  • Duergar arcane caster
  • Ruler of the duergar- married to King Murghol
  • Served K’varn the Mad
  • Captured and tortured Kima of Vord
  • Escaped the throne room with Grog, was eventually caught by VM
  • Banished by Scanlan before returning to be interrogated, killed by K’varn the Mad in the course of this interrogation

Character Causes Battle

/

Pyrot3ch-nick asked: How many times has VM gone into combat due to one or two characters’ actions?

To answer that, we’ll have to be a little myopic. Often Vox Machina’s intention was to battle in the first place, but it was one or two characters’ actions that set the battle in motion. Updated to Episode 94.

Total: 21

Who was it that killed each individual member of the conclave with what attack? (for fanart purposes)

  • Brimscythe: Vax’ildan, Unknown (presumably a dagger)
  • Umbrasyl: Grog, Bloodaxe
  • Vorugal: Vex’ahlia, Fenthras
  • Thordak: Vax’ildan, Whisper
  • Raishan: Kerrek, Dusk Warhammer

Did Vex drop Demons for her favorite enemy? I was rewatching the episode where Vex and Percy were in the library and Laura brought it up but then said never mind.

Nothing has been stated on the show about it, as far as we know.

I would like to know how many times Laura has used swear words OOC and IC on the show?

We have no problem with strong language, but we still want to keep the language (relatively) clean on the site. Also, we no longer take tracking requests that require a full-show rewatch. (Friendly reminder to also check out our Frequently Asked Questions page!)

Clang clang clang went the cleric,
Ding ding ding went the gnome,
Bye bye bye went the stealth roll,
All because of her protective chrome…

I’ve heard Pike’s infamous mic bump during the episode “Denouement” mentioned multiple times. When exactly did this happen?

Ep35, p2. 0:36:10

Wondering how stats were generated for the party? Was it “roll 4d6 drop 1, assign numbers” or something? I’m getting a 5e group together and am curious; it’s sometimes hard to get decent stats out of some of the roll methods. Thanks!

Matt confirmed on Reddit that they roll 4d6, drop 1, arrange, and reroll them all if they don’t add up to at least 70.

Some quick answers to tide you over for the weekend!

How many charges does Scanlan have left in the Wand of Fireballs?

One. He has 7 slots and he used six of them in the battle in Episode 52. The wand regains 1d6+1 charges each day at dawn.

What do we know about the Titanstone Knuckles?

What we know is from Matt’s Periscope today:

  • Wearer’s strength increases to 24.
  • Wearer can use the Enlarge spell on themselves once per long rest
    • We saw Kevdak use this when he cracked the Knuckles together in Episode 51 (2:27:05)
  • Deals double damage to structures.

Vax’s most damaging sneak attack?
— yourcynicalcanadian

As of Episode 40, the honor of receiving the most damage would be 78, dealt to Professor Ander’s eye. Tied for second is Kerrion Stonefell’s shoulders and Kynen Liore’s KO, with 66 damage. Kynen should consider himself very lucky indeed.

Below is the chronological list of all of Vax’s most impressive single hits using sneak attack. Only one is a straight critical; the rest are thanks to Vax’s subclass auto-crit ability, Assassinate.

A recent trend in Liam’s playstyle is his desire to not kill as many innocents as possible (Riskel Daxio excepted). If he can manage it, he knocks out whomever he can. Some of Vax’s best damage comes from these dagger handle KOs.

All Single Dagger Damage Above 50

  • Ep 4 - Duergar Guard - Assassinate - 52 damage - Kill (1:42:00)
  • Ep 4 - Mindflayer - Assassinate - 62 damage - Hurt Badly (1:46:35)
  • Ep 5 - Ogre - Assassinate - 62 damage - Kill (1:58:32)
  • Ep 5 - Orge - Assassinate - 52 damage - Kill (2:08:16)
  • Ep 7 - Duergar Guard - Critical - 59 damage - Kill (0:30:00)
  • Ep 23 - Kynan Leore - Assassinate - 66 damage - KO (2:45:15)
  • Ep 24 - Guard - Assassinate - 62 damage - KO (3:42:30)
  • Ep 29 - Kerrion Stonefell - Assassinate - 66 damage - Hurt Badly (2:53:16)
  • Ep 33 - Professor Anders - Assassinate - 78 damage - Dagger to the eye (p1 1:18:57)

Honorable Mentions

  • Ep 20 - Vince Cyinnor - Assassinate - 42 damage - KO (02:21:11)
  • Ep 30 - Guard - Assassinate - 50 damage - KO (3:02:33)
  • Ep 37 - Daxio - Assassinate - 46 damage - KO (3:54:08)
