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

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

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.

How many times has…?

Due to the recent release of our word count posts, we’ve had an influx of requests to track more. The posts we’ve made are the result of nearly a year’s worth of tracking; required the effort of over 100 volunteers; and months of work on our part to coordinate volunteers, collect stats, edit, format, check, and post. 

With the sheer volume of content now, we decided that, once we were done tracking previously made requests, we would no longer take requests that require a full-show rewatch. Further, we no longer take requests for tracking a particular phrase or word. We have amazing volunteers, and we want to make sure we can make the best use of their time and energy as possible.

Raven Queen Moments

Thanks to @shalizeh7for the art!

cipherponyjinx asked: How many times has Vax interacted with the Raven Queen and when?

Is it listed anywhere how Matt goes about giving his players feats?

Matt goes by the D&D 5e PHB, which allows a player to choose a feat or ability score increase at levels 4, 8, 12, and 16.

How much damage could Percy have done to Raishan if she really was there during the meeting?

Had Percy hit Raishan, he would have dealt 1d8+ 1 + 6 DEX Slashing Damage + 3d6 additional damage (because she’s a dragon) per hit. So, anywhere between 11 and 59 damage per strike.

Did anyone write down what the Sultan’s full name and titles were?

Fortunately for us, the name and title comes straight out of lore from the Forgotten Realms:

The Grand Sultan of All the Efreet, The Lord of the Flame, The Potentate Incandescent, The Tempering and Eternal Flame of Truth, The Most Puissant of Hunters, Marshall of the Order of the Fiery Heart, The Smoldering Dictator, The Crimson Firebrand, Marrake al-Sidaan al-Hariq ben Lazan

Birds of a Feather

Qui11iam asked: How many birds has the cast flipped over the course of the show?

While the rogue has definitely been responsible for the most “daggers” thrown, the rest of the cast has shown that they can throw their own fair share. 

Number of party birds: 51

Number of Liam birds: 24

Feywild Advice

/

Anonymous asked: What has the party been warned about in the Feywild and what advice have they completely ignored (from Gilmore, Garmelie, Mr. BadDad, Nala, etc)?

Advice Vox Machina has not ignored:

  • Garmelie: These are best to be avoided; they’re mandrakes. (Ep59, 2:55:50).
  • Tirelda: You’ll come upon [The Gilded Run] one way or another, unless you traverse the Green Sea, but that I would not recommend. (Ep60, 1:46:07).
