Is there a schedule for Quick Answers?

At this time, no. With the conclusion of the VM campaign, we’ve been pretty occupied wrapping up stats, preparing some new stuff, and making way for the new party. We do have quite a backlog of questions, and we plan on getting to as many as we can when we’re able!

Is there a list anywhere of every form Keyleth has taken?

We keep all of Vox Machina’s transformations, including Beast Shapes, here!

Will Talks Machina change the name with the new campaign?

Nope. We have it on good authority the host is staying, too.

Is it possible to keep track of who takes over Brian's job each week in the Alpha 'After Dark' segment? Just so we can see who hasn't had the, uh, special honour yet.

It is, and we’re doing it! Check out the gray boxes on the Talks Machina Attendance Sheet to see who has had the “special honor.”

Monster Analysis: Androsphinx

Monster Analysis: Androsphinx

Thanks to @Mikandii for this art piece!

  • First Appearance: 49 A Name is Earned
  • Armor Class 17
  • Speed 40 ft, Fly 60 ft
  • Truesight 120 ft, Passive 20
  • Immune to Psychic and nonmagical physical damage
  • Immune to charmed and frightened
  • Lair and Legendary Actions
  • Suggested average, max HP: 199, 285
  • 94 damage taken before the encounter ended

Sphinxes are the guardians of secrets and treasures of the gods. Neutral in disposition, sphinxes present their trials fairly to the righteous and the unrighteous alike. Even if the sphinx is defeated in combat, the treasure that it guards will remain locked away from the victors. Only by one solving the posed riddle will the celestial's secret be revealed.

 Osysa represented the goddess of knowledge, Ioun. Osysa confirmed to Vox Machina that her mate does not serve Ioun directly, and Kamaljiori said that “[Ioun] is beyond me.” However, the volume of Ioun symbols near and in the androsphinx’s lair points to his fealty to the deity of knowledge.

Monster Analysis: Orc Warchief, Dire Bears, Orogs, & Orcs

Thanks to @MajorAMonkey for this screenshot. Check out the rest of the animation here!

With the rapid approach of episode 100 and the convenient break in the story this week, we figured it was an equally convenient time to reminisce on older Vox Machina adventures… and finally catch up on our remaining four Monster Analyses.

We’ve previously seen the party (or at least half of it) encounter orcs during the journey to Rimefang. This band of orcs, however, had a couple of variations in composition compared to the last pack; besides regular orcs, the band included a war chief leader, an orog, and a pair of dire bears.

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:

Scanlan’s Magnificent Mansion

/

Anonymous asked: Scanlan’s mansion provides some of the funniest role play from the cast, as well as some of the best moments in the series. Could you list in which episodes Scanlan has cast his glorious mansion?

Scanlan’s house is a very, very, very fine house! It’s got all the chicken you could ever want (and then more chicken beyond that), a spa that can handle an explosion of raw sodium, a kitchen ripe for destroying, a deranged family photo hanging above the fireplace…who could ask for anything more?

Times the mansion has been used: 10

How many times (and when) did Tiberius introduce himself?

29: We’ve got all of those times detailed here.

What is the male sphinx named?

A name is earned (by watching Episode 49). We’ve got a document with all the riddles that’s spoiler-free as long, as you don’t scroll too far, if you want to figure it out alongside the party.  If you are really intent on spoiling yourself, you can find it on our NPC list.

When did Grog say, “Have you heard the good news of our Lord and Savior MY AXE IN YOUR FACE?!”
