Villains Gallery: Whitestone

Villains Gallery: Whitestone

Thanks to @sootttea for the 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, continuing with the Whitestone arc villains.

Whitestone

Lord Riskel Daxio

  • Elven fighter
  • Member of the Cult of Vecna
  • Acted as a spy for the Briarwoods within the Council of Emon.
  • Attempted to flee Emon after VM’s return from Whitestone with the Clasp’s help.
  • Executed by Grog after capture by VM and sentencing by Sovereign Uriel Tal’Dorei II.

Countess Jazna Graben

  • Half-orc ranger
  • One of the “new lords” brought to the city by the Briarwoods.
  • Seen patrolling the woods near Whitestone as Vox Machina approached the city.
  • Executed by Grog after capture during the rebellion and refusal to help rebuild the city of Whitestone.

What We Know About Ripley: A Summary

What We Know About Ripley: A Summary

Thanks to @swiper-no-artswiping for the art!

In the last two episodes, Dr. Anna Ripley has re-emerged and refused to be ignored any longer. Since she’s become extraordinarily important once again, we decided to hunt down everything we know about her. Much like the Thordak compendium, we’ve compiled all the times Ripley has been mentioned here. The following is a summary of that information; again, all facts, no speculation, and spoilers up through Episode 67. Proceed with caution.

Hey guys, thanks for all your hard work! Out of curiosity, do you think you could count the Blindspot references in Critical Role? Sam made a Blindspot pun one episode and I about died.

Thanks! For future reference, we track ALL media-related references over here. Here are the Blindspot ones:

  • (Ep32, 1:18:17) Matt: You’ve been too busy, being in someone’s blind spot
  • (Ep48, 2:37:05) Scanlan: Starring Ashley Johnson: Blindsight.
  • (Ep48, 2:58:13) Sam: Ashley Blindside.  Travis: Blindspot.
  • (Ep59, 1:00:05) Sam: Let Pike get rid of this blind spot so we can all be together again!

As a parallel to “Times a member of Vox Machina has consumed something” you should do a “Times a member of Vox Machina has been consumed” e.g. Grog last session or Scanlan in the ice worm.

Luckily, there haven’t been many times where a member of Vox Machina was consumed by an enemy.

  • Scanlan (Ep39, 0:40:50) Purple Worm
  • Vax’ildan (Ep39, 1:22:34) Frost Worm
  • Vax’ildan and Scanlan (Ep54, 3:09:44) Umbrasyl (though technically they transported themselves into his stomach)
  • Grog (Ep62, 1:14:40) Feymire Crocodile

Clang Clang Clang

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…

(With apologies to Judy Garland.)
