Villains Gallery: Underdark and Trial of the Take

Thanks to @brinmataujall for this 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, starting with the Underdark and Trial of the Take villains.

Underdark

Duergar General

  • Duergar fighter
  • Led troops at the duergar warcamp
  • Wielded the Firebrand Warhammer
    • Taken after his death by Grog
  • Killed by Clarota

King Murghol

  • Duergar fighter
  • Ruler of the duergar- married to Queen Ulara
  • Served K’varn the Mad
  • Captured and tortured Kima of Vord
  • Killed by Scanlan in his own throne room

Queen Ulara

  • Duergar arcane caster
  • Ruler of the duergar- married to King Murghol
  • Served K’varn the Mad
  • Captured and tortured Kima of Vord
  • Escaped the throne room with Grog, was eventually caught by VM
  • Banished by Scanlan before returning to be interrogated, killed by K’varn the Mad in the course of this interrogation

What We Know About Hotis and the Nine Hells: A Summary

/

Vox Machina is determined to put an end to Hotis once and for all. To do that, they’ll need to make the dangerous trek through the Nine Hells. Did you start watching Critical Role at the Feywild arc and have no idea what’s going on? Forgotten the details of the Trial of the Take episodes? Curious about the Hells? We’ve got you covered. First, we have a link to our quote compendium about the Hells and Hotis. Second, below the cut we have a summary of the relevant information- spoilers abound! We’re going to largely steer clear of any speculation beyond the information that was laid out on Critical Role. Remember: the Nine Hells on Critical Role may have similarities and differences from the Nine Hells described in the DMG.

Can you give us estimates on the upcoming Thordak fight?

Usually when you’re calculating odds, you have histories of both parties to compare for the sake of calculations. That said, we have no idea of what Thordak…

What are the Vegas betting odds?

….is capable. Matt has given us all a few hints, all of them pointing to something a bit more powerful than a MM-standard ancient red dragon. However, speculation…

WHO’S GOING TO DIE?!

….Ok. Critters, let’s breathe. Speculation doesn’t work well for odds, and you know we try to err on the side of less speculation. You’re welcome to speculate to your heart’s content, but we don’t have enough information on Thordak (or VM’s allies, for that matter) to feel comfortable conjecturing. Not to mention, the dice are telling a good chunk of the story, here, and we’ve seen them do crazy things before (see: Kevdak).

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.
