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.

Why did you remove…?

If you’ve been digging in our archives in the past week, you may be disappointed to find a number of articles missing. Have no fear; they’re not completely gone, and will be returning somewhere else. On a somewhat related note, we’re probably going to be under a little bit of construction this weekend. Trust us, it’ll be worth it!

Is there a confirmed spelling for Taryon’s sidekick’s name?

Yep, Sam confirmed that it’s Doty. (And we strongly suspect it’s homage to the current Head of Live Broadcasting & Production.)

How many projectiles were thrown/shot at Sam over the course of Episode 85?

Not enough.

If Vax gets surprise with all those nice assassin bonuses, how much damage (on average), can we expect him to do?

For the sake of this, we’ll say that Vax attacked immediately in order to get a surprise attack, and didn’t have time to cast Hunter’s Mark.

  • 42 (Sneak Attack) + 4 Slashing + 8 Psychic + 8 + 16 Divine Smite  = 78 Average Crit Damage
  • 42 (Sneak Attack) + 4 Piercing + 8 Psychic + 8 + 10 (Sharpshooter) = 72 Average Crit Damage

What is the max damage Vax has done?

Vax’s most damaging single attack was in Episode 79 (2:12:09), dealing 102 damage against Thordak. For any damage related questions, check out either our All Rolls chart, Average/Total Damage Dealt chart, or Damage Taken chart over on our Running Stats page!

Death Saves

luminarycas asked: Do you have stats on how often VM saves and fails on death saving throws? For some reason, it feels as if they fail much more often than that they save.

Here are the Death Saving Throws that Vox Machina has made, discounting auto-failures due to taking damage while unconscious:

The Sparkstone

/

biggggg5 asked: Hi, sorry to bug you but i am new to watching Critical Role and I just watched Keyleth do her trial of fire and recieve that sparkstone thing. I was wondering if you knew if she ever uses it? I dont want to know who she would use it on but if you could let me know what episode she uses it in that would be great. I figure if anyone would know you would. Thank you very much!

Someone DOES end up using it in in the middle of battle in Episode 28 (29 minutes in)!
