Through some careful diplomacy, the party manages to secure him as an ally in return for the promise to help him free his people from something that’s been controlling them.Įpisode 4 is another glorious plan going into action. There, they find a mindflayer named Clarota, who has apparently been exiled from his home for his arcane ability. There’s some debate in the party and it’s eventually decided that they won’t bother exploring the lava- and water-filled tunnels down in the cavern, but Vex and Keyleth decide hey, fuck it, and steal the magic carpet to go down and investigate for themselves. He nearly falls to his death, but Tiberius rescues him. Vax and Tiberius bait the war camp into charging, whereupon a lot of their forces charge right over the cliff… but the illithid makes an appearance and stuns Vax just as he’s trying to cross the chasm on the party’s flying carpet. He returns to the rest of the party, and they decide to create some illusory terrain to make it look like the war camp’s side of the cliff extends out further than it really does. There, he watches a dwarf get executed by an illithid, a mind-flayer (think of a psychic tentacle-mouthed creature that eats brains). They also find a long bridge across a chasm, and some of the party sneaks across an invisible Scanlan investigates what turns out to be a duergar war camp. The party manages to revive Grog, and proceeds into an abandoned goblin city, where they find several goblin corpses with holes bored through their skulls.

They fight their way through a couple of umber hulks and wind up getting ambushed by a series of duergar and an intellect devourer, which renders Grog catatonic by reducing his intelligence to zero.Įpisode 3 is where the plot starts to thicken. The party gets Nostoc Greyspine, owner of the mine, to agree to let them travel in and deal with the monster problem (and find Kima). The party manages to make their way to the mithral mines under the city, where they fight off a horrible stitched-together naga creature that surges up from the mines (Scanlan deals his first-ever killing blow and is as startled as anyone).Įpisode 2 is the start of the venture into the mines and, eventually, the Underdark. Vox Machina, a group of adventurers, have been sent to the dwarven city of Kraghammer by their good friend Allura, in search of her old friend, a paladin of Bahamut named Lady Kima of Vord, who’s gone missing in her pursuit of a dark evil underneath the city. Note that the same campaign had been running for a couple years before they started filming the entire party is around level eight at the start of the series and has just come off a six-month in-universe break.Įpisode 1 is the introduction to the whole shebang.
