![]() ![]() Vex commands Trinket to stay and guard Vax, then the group take off after the fleeing being. While they initially appear to have Vox Machina trapped with magic, they appear to realize they are not yet at full power and attempt to flee via a portal. Regardless, the remaining unfrozen members of Vox Machina are greeted by a white humanoid creature with blue eyes, ice-like spikes or scales, and a large blue detachable gem on their forehead. Jason: It could be Gilmore but I feel like there would have been more to his interaction with Vax… it feels like some panels were cut out. | Vox Machina Origins III #3 | Dark Horse In fairness, some D&D spells do have a limited number of people, so let’s go with that. While the handsome friend was able to protect the group with a spell, Vax was somehow left out of the protection even though he was close enough to touch Vex. We also see Realmseer Eskil, shoving through the crowd. I would assume this is Gilmore of the Glorious Goods, but it’s not clearly stated. We see VM and the town gathered for a speech, and a handsome bearded man in purple speaks with Vax. Liz: I’ll be honest, this sequence of events is a little unclear to me. piece of ice(?) apparently linked to Realmseeker Eskil, who appeared previously in Vox Machina Origins II.Įskil himself appears, attempting to get to the large artifact before, in a flash, the majority of the town is frozen solid. There’s a bit of confusion with the unveiling of a giant. I think getting out of the fighting pit and into the streets has given artist Olivia Samson a bit more to do. Jason: I had a bit of a problem with the art of issue 2 not being detailed enough. Grog wins a pie eating contest and gets a little crown that he wears for most of the issue. I love scenes like this-a lot of panels with little background details showing how the characters are spending their day. Liz: Most relevant to my interests, we also get to see Trinket eating some fair food. We also get a bit of lore about the holiday. Jason: For those uninitiated with the holidays of a fictional world, Winter’s Crest is basically the winter solstice holiday that is celebrated generally as a kind of winter carnival. Jason: It’s been a few months since the last issue, so let’s get back to Exandria and Vox Machina. It was neat getting to see the heroes as less fully formed versions of themselves. Liz: It’s been pretty successful, in my opinion. Jason: The origins series does a decent job providing a bit more context to early Vox Machina to Critters who have watched the first campaign, while also providing a lower barrier of entry to those who haven’t, as 115 3-5 hour long episodes can be pretty daunting. I’m really excited about content that I’m not 450 hours behind on. I gotta say though, it’s more than a little overwhelming for someone who didn’t start watching with the first episode. Liz Large: Yeah, with all of that plus the game company and impending third campaign, the Critters are living their best lives right now. Jason Large: We have just finished watching the end of Exandria Unlimited, there’s a prose book about Vex and Vax coming out soon, and the animated series right around the corner… We are as close as we’ve ever been to peak Critical Role Now equipped with a fresh purse, Vox Machina looks to celebrate the holiday of Winter’s Crest. Through a combination of luck, teamwork, and a lot of Grog, Vox Machina came out on top. Leylas Kryn, the Bright Queen, has spent multiple lives in pursuit of assembling the otherworldly Luxon.Last time on Critical Role (…Vox Machina Origins III): Our band of heroes, fresh out of coin, entered an underground fighting tournament. In Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria - The Bright Queen, Game Master Matthew Mercer joins Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy van Poelgeest ( LittleBird) and fan-favorite artist CoupleofKooks in a brand-new Critical Role story from the mighty Kryn Dynasty! Vox Machina will have to save the day again, against a much bigger foe than they first realized! Unfortunately, their ring-fighting turns out to be just a warm-up for a cold reality when a mysterious attack on Winter’s Crest festivities leaves the whole town magically frozen––including one of their own. But that costs coin, which has a bad habit of running out, so they join an underground fighting ring and bash their way to cash. Vox Machina enjoy a week in Westruun’s lap of luxury leading up to the Winter’s Crest Festival.
