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

This is our fiftieth Quick Answers post! We appreciate your enthusiasm and curiosity, Critters. Don't forget to check out our FAQ, Running Stats, Rankings, and Character Sheets. If you have other questions, you can use our new Contact form or Tumblr Ask.

Can you tell Matt and the cast that the numbers they said are wrong, so they can fix them?

We could, but we also prefer to lead by example and observe & record without interference. While they can throw our numbers off from time to time and have a drastic impact on the story, mistakes are part of the game, and the story goes the direction it goes. If the players want to contest or fix those, we’ll leave it up to them to do so. It’s their game and their story.

Well, can you at least publicly confirm said mistakes with us, so we can tell them to fix them?

See above about leading by example. We’re not going to publicize their mistakes. Think about how it would make you feel to have a stranger reprimand you for not using a particular character ability after your D&D game. Even if they meant it to be helpful, it comes across as invasive and nitpicky. When in doubt, err on the side of empathy and kindness!

Who was it that killed each individual member of the conclave with what attack? (for fanart purposes)

  • Brimscythe: Vax’ildan, Unknown (presumably a dagger)
  • Umbrasyl: Grog, Bloodaxe
  • Vorugal: Vex’ahlia, Fenthras
  • Thordak: Vax’ildan, Whisper
  • Raishan: Kerrek, Dusk Warhammer

Did Vex drop Demons for her favorite enemy? I was rewatching the episode where Vex and Percy were in the library and Laura brought it up but then said never mind.

Nothing has been stated on the show about it, as far as we know.

I would like to know how many times Laura has used swear words OOC and IC on the show?

We have no problem with strong language, but we still want to keep the language (relatively) clean on the site. Also, we no longer take tracking requests that require a full-show rewatch. (Friendly reminder to also check out our Frequently Asked Questions page!)

Just a quick correction to the Cabal’s Ruin. If I remember correctly when it awoke when Percy critted it was stated that Percy can add the dice AFTER the hit now instead of requiring to call the charges before the attack. Which is a subtle update but an update.

Nope, it’s always been that way! Matt clarified it in Episode 79 (2:22:27).

Do you have the awakened stats of [vestige]? What about [character attribute]?

Contrary to popular belief, we generally don’t get insider knowledge on character stats or items. Almost everything we know is a result of good old-fashioned detective work. If it’s been confirmed by a cast member, we’ll say so. If an item or ability is never shared or rarely used, well, not much of a trail to go on, right?

What episode is that one Liam O’Brien meme face from?

Episode 60 (2:33:40).

Where does Talks Machina get their footage from with the little character portraits underneath them with their hit points and all that?

Alpha.

How long in game time has it been since the last Winter’s Crest festival?

51 days, by our count.

When did Matt say, “I’m not going say it, but the sun is high in the sky,” or something similar?

Episode 74 (3:07:26)!

Can you track the times Percy puts on the mask?

As a reminder, we no longer track stats that require an entire show rewatch. From off the tops of our heads, however, here’s what is likely an incomplete list:

  • Episode 22 (2:21:09) Walking up the volcano to get to the Fire Ashari
  • Episode 25 (3:08:35) Overkilling The Broker
  • Episode 29 (3:22:38) Killing Kerrion
  • Episode 33 (p1. 2:01:59) Killing Anders
  • Episode 60 (1:48:26) Hats Machina

This might be asking too much of a fan theory question but do we know which Oath Vax is likely to take if/when he reaches 3rd level paladin?

We’re not going to speculate because right now it could be anything or nothing. We’ll have to see what the upcoming episodes have in store!

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
