What We Know About Kynan Leore: A List

/

eclairqueen asked: I was wondering if it would be possible to get a list of timestamps of when Kynan is mentioned/focused on?

We were going to write our own summary of the roguish rogue, but we figured we couldn’t do any better than the description from the DM himself:

“A young man, low born and motherless, dreaming of purpose and meaning to his existence. A father beaten by his own failures and loss, venting his own regrets on his son. The boy wakes to a burning drive to change his fortune, to make every step he takes count to saving this crumbling life that surrounds him. This is the day he rises above a butcher’s son to begin his own journey. He’s seen what heroes look like, what they can do. He will become one.”

Kynan’s history has been less secretive to us than the other characters we’ve focused on, so rather than an in-depth analysis, we present: the full list of timestamps of when Kynan has been mentioned or present. Updated through Episode 73.

Percy’s Got More Than a Gun

@AnaDrabbles asked: Do you have any idea how many times Percy has used a melee weapon/when he used one for the 1st time? Thanks!

Percy’s first time using a melee weapon was in Episode 24 (2:41:15), when he tested out the newly-made Diplomacy glove on Tiberius. He’s used a melee weapon 37 times, which is more than what we expected. Here are the other times he used a melee weapon:

A reminder: Before you Ask, please check our FAQ, Running Stats, and Rankings!

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

Monster Analysis: Harpies

/
  • Monster Analysis: Harpies
  • First Appearance: 27 The Path to Whitestone
  • Armor Class 11
  • Speed 20 ft, 40 ft flying
  • Passive perception 10
  • Average, Max HP: 38, 63

The origin of the harpy (in D&D lore) goes back to a young elf who fell in love with a reclusive elf god as they both paused to listen to an astoundingly beautiful bird song. In attempt to reattract him, she pleaded with the gods until the elf goddess of the sky granted her the ability to sing the same enchanting melody as the bird. When her attempt to seduce the elven god failed, she cursed the gods, transforming her into a hideous winged creature with a craving for flesh and a song that could woo the weak-willed.

Harpies reside in mountainous areas where their nests are difficult to reach, and where they can maintain an unfair advantage over potential prey. Fortunately, the party didn’t hear any Luring Song, which can charm humanoids within 300 feet to come running straight for the harpy, including straight over a cliff. It’s unfortunate that the horses fell victim to these cruel creatures, but their sacrifice allowed the party to pass both the bridge and rocky path without alerting the monstrosities to their presence.

anonymous asks: Has Keyleth ever received any benefit from her crafting book she bought?

Short answer: Yes!

Long answer:

How much use she’s gotten out of her books depends on which ‘crafting’ book you’re speaking of.  In Episode 15, she purchased a book on herbalism and a book on animal extraction.  In Episode 24, she purchased a book about the properties of chemicals and liquids, and an introduction to sorceries book that had a chapter on alchemy.

Her goal of learning how to craft her own potions has been largely set aside for the time being.  This is namely because Vox Machina had to hideout in Whitestone with no access to materials for so long, then had to search for Daxio, then check into the house, and then deal with the dragons.  However, she did craft her first Greater Healing Potion in Episode 27 (2:31:52) thanks to the the knowledge she gained through reading all of the books she bought dealing with alchemy.

Arguably, she’s thus far reaped more benefits from her book on animal extraction. When she uses it, she gets advantage on rolls for extracting any parts from animals, and it gives her insight on what parts are valuable from those creatures.  She successfully utilized it when carving up the phase spiders in Episode 16 (2:20:41), Hotis the Rakshasa in Episode 21 (3:49:53), the behir in Episode 28 (0:59:13), the frost worm in Episode 39 (1:38:49), and the wyverns in Episode 42 (2:17:30).

Update: Confirmation from the half-elven druid herself: “It gives me advantage on nature check when attempting to harvest anything.” Thanks, Marisha!

Update 2: Keyleth created her first Potion of Fire Resistance in Episode 45 (2:26:36).

Thanks to @nevyndoc for the reminder about Episode 42!
