Villains Gallery: Post-Conclave and Unlikable People

Thanks to @Takayuuki_art 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, ending with the villains Vox Machina faced so far after the Conclave, as well as the folks who didn't quite make it to Villain status, but were still pretty unlikable.

After The Conclave

The Kraken

  • Kraken
  • Scourge of the rift between the Material and Water planes
  • Producer of lodestones that keeps Vesrah afloat
  • Attacked Vox Machina after Taryon spoiled their stealth
  • Killed Vax’ildan.
  • Was prevented from crossing into the Material plane.

Utugash, The Herald of Vassalage

  • Pit fiend
  • Ran a section of the City of Dis
  • “One of the prominent owners and taskmasters involved in moving souls and soul goods throughout this area of Dis. He is slovenly, he is lazy, he is powerful, and he needs to fall. [...] At this time, his laziness has left him a useless sack of demon s**t.”
  • Bought Tova from the Mentiri prison for his own entertainment.
  • Attacked by VM in his stronghold to fulfill the terms of Percy’s deal with Ipkesh, a cambion under his command.
  • Permanently killed by Tova

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

How many times has Taryon has puked since he appeared?

  • Episode 87 (0:46:15)
  • Episode 88 (2:23:53)
  • Episode 90 (2:35:38) and (2:35:57)
  • Episode 91 (2:50:44)
  • Episode 92 (3:20:38)
  • Episode 94 (3:31:08)

How many times has Vax used his Reliable Talent feature?

Approximately 95 times. An exact number is difficult because we don’t know how many times he rolled a natural 10 versus actually getting to use the feature.

Can we get a Monster Analysis for Sam Riegel? Because I'm pretty sure he's not human.

  • Sam Riegel, Bard Level 20
  • First Appearance: 01 Arrival at Kraghammer
  • Armor Class: 14
  • Speed: 30 ft
  • Fey Ancestry, Immune to charm effects
  • Proficient with wine aerating tools

Hey I just wanted to know if there was any way for those of us without Twitter to enter the giveaway? Thanks!

Alas, no. Tumblr is a logistical nightmare for trying to run a giveaway for us. Good news, though! Creating a Twitter account is free and pretty simple!

Hey! I couldn’t seem to find any secret santa for critters that is exclusively done online, so I made one myself, and would really appreciate it if you could boost it to anyone who wants to join! <3 the url is @critrolesecretsanta.

There you go!

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.

Monks and Vox Machina

/

Anonymous asked: Have the party ever encountered a monk, NPC, PC, Hostile, Neutral or Ally.

Vox Machina met Earthbreaker Groon, monk and head of the temple of Kord in Vasselheim, in episodes 23 and 43.  Kern, who sparred with Grog in episode 23, trained with Groon, which allowed Kern to take two levels of monk (Kern utilized Dodge, which isn’t available to Level 1 monks). They also defeated a monk in episode 26, along with the old lady mage and The Broker.

Update: Several critters have been kind of enough to point out that, before the stream, Yuri Lowenthal guested in a game as Ghostfist, a dwarven monk. If D&Diesel can be considered canon, Vex and Grog have also met The Headmistress, a human monk played by Jessica Chobot.

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.
