The party finishes their necessary purchases within the city of Emon in preparation for their journey. With the arrival of the Envoys of Bahamut, and the holy container in which to transport the evil Horn of Orcus, Vox Machina is given permission to embark on a Skyship to cross the Ozmit Sea toward he distant city of Vasselheim.
As they traverse the expansive ocean, the ship is suddenly under siege by a band of wyvern and griffin-riding bandits, tossing the deckhands over board to their deaths. The party enters the fray, defending the Skyship, and even taking a prisoner in the process.
With the battle over, and the artifact still safe, the party prepares for their arrival in a strange, foreign land...

    Kinda makes sense. You're in a bar and you here a goliath ask a question in his simple voice, and you think gentle giant. The gnome jumping on the table screaming at you is more like a ravenous chihuahua with a Napoleon syndrome. You can turn down the gentle giant and no ill will come to you, but one wrong move around that chihuahua and it'll attack.

    He had to draw the line somewhere. He let his players get away with A LOT of BS, particularly during combats in the early days of campaign 1. All of their understanding of Bonus actions, concentration and general spell mechanics were very lacking. I’m glad combats have gotten so much better as they have continued. It was a weak point in their otherwise excellent gameplay.

    xEvilRaptorx I doubt it was intentional. The group doesn’t really follow 5th ed rules in these early games, because they weren’t familiar with them. Vax and Vex both use multiple bonus actions in a single turn on a regular basis, Rangers do not in fact get advantage on everything because they are in their favored terrain, or fighting their favored enemy and Matt’s rulings are often dubious or encounter breaking. *cough cough Kavarn. Tiberius “feels” like he breaks the rules and hogs the spotlight in combat, but that’s mostly him just sticking to Matt’s home brew bonus action spell rules.

    @@Virtualblueart Markus Heitz once wrote a series about a guy like that. He was an atheist in a world that was pretty much like ours, only that all the gods of old (Zeus, Loki, Amaterasu, etc.) have returned and conquered the planet. Not really in a dystopian sense, since society is still largely functioning, but they are the ruling cast above mortal governments. The protagonist fought in the war that followed their arrival, even being one of a very few that actually slayed a god, as well as several monstrosities and other things that did the gods' bidding. Right up to the point in time that the story takes place in, he does not believe that there actually is such a thing as a god. He believes they're either a mass hallucination or aliens with vastly superior technology that took on the guise of gods in order to better control us, for some other unnkown purpose or simply just for a lark. Or he thinks that he might be the only real person in that world and he might've simply gone insane and is imagining all of it. It's a pretty interesting novel overall; I don't know if it's been translated into English though.

    Taliesin is just an amazing actor and all around cool dude. In a group with such outstanding talent (especially post-Orion), he is just incredible with the tiniest little details to flesh out his characters. Tal in Campaign 2 is even better, especially as Cad. The small flavor nuances he gives his characters tend to go mostly unnoticed/unappreciative; however the way he plays 20 WIS 9 INT is absolutely brilliant.

    He seems to be one of only a few people at the table who actually read and understands their skills. Pike has obviously not spent any time to learn her skills, every cast is like her first. Tiberius constantly does something stupid in an attempt to be overpowered, Scanlan doesn’t know what a concentration spell is and has yet to use that great magic item that lets him have 2 concentration skills up at once (though he did refuse to part with it out of spite). I find it sad that they get far more out of playing DnD (basically a career) than most of us but some of them put so little effort into doing it. Thankfully the personalities and group interactions compensate for the lack of basic knowledge.

Possible spoilers sorry!!!! In episode 31 Grog is facing and kills a vampire...keyleth was not in the room so she had no knowledge of a vampire at all, then on her turn, she burst into the room and tried to cast a sunbeam at a mist that once was the vampire. Matt said there was no reason she would attack a strange mist when her friend was surrounded and being attacked by a room full of soldiers and archers. She is very visibly..not happy with this, as this was probably the plan she was working on leading up to her turn. This is understandable... What is not understandable is her attitude towards this ruling by her DM, she was acting more like a child who wanted to do something and was mad when she couldn't do it. (This will not be the only time this will happen, not often, but it pops up just enough to become an average thing.) She is an adult playing a cooperative game, not a child playing by themselves. timestamp 1:30:30 give or take it goes on for about the fight with the vampire. edited for corrected time Both she and Sam both laugh right after so there was no tension of her saying this and this doesn't seem to have bothered Matt, but this was possibly the biggest nail in the coffin for many fans, myself including. 😞

Of note, Laura Bailey has 373 credits and is the voice of Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft, and Ashley Johnson has 122 credits and is the voice of Ellie in The Last of Us. These are two of the greatest games of all time. Marisha Ray has done some voice acting, but she is the least experienced in the group.

    Are all of you thick? He clearly meant giving their critical role characters a voice. Laura doea a British accent but Keylieth and Pike just use their normal voices despite having a specific voice in the backstory video Ashly and Marisha are fun but they just feel like players where the others feel believable. I'd say pike is worse then Keilieth RP wise, I like all of them but Pike is the most 'just a player' Keylieth has her moments like in the underdark and has used a voice but Pike has only spoken as Ashly and the eay Matt punished pike in the Underdark shows how she was straying from her character. He's given her another chance with thr mending and i hope Ashley improves her persona as Pike. They're all talented voice artists even that alone can be am improvment. Grog is a perfect example of a voice seperating the character from the Player.

    NiD0 Ravensbeard While I do agree that Orion’s table etiquette is terrible, that does seem like something Tiberius would do. The difference between a good player properly roleplaying character flaws and a bad player saying “that’s what my character would do” is doing it in a way where it is clearly coming from the character and not from the player, and how annoying it is to the rest of the party. Orion pulls it off terribly, but if Tiberius were in the bands of a good player he would be a much more interesting and cool character.

    Well he clearly perceived that Matt was undermining his character in the gameplay, which was only true in a sense because Orion’s play style was fairly rude and self-centered and that certainly did not ingratiate him to the DM nor party members. His mannerisms and how he conducted himself in game and at the table was discordant with the harmony of the rest of the table. Such as his obstinate response to entering the temple for the Kavarn fight, or when he “bought” a vital item without the DM’s knowledge or involvement, or when he tried to trade magic items with a players character when the player wasn’t present at the table to consent and wanted Matt to decide for a player’s character. A lot of little things that just made him insufferable at the table. Checking out during battles, trying to do too much in each turn, not being descriptive in his intent, doing things without the party’s involvement or knowledge that was purely self-motivated etc. It’s no surprise he was removed from the campaign. His etiquette was awful and was souring I’m the fun for the rest of the group. The harmony of the group after his leaving has been so much more peaceful and enjoyable.

That was the problem with Orion and how he played Tiberius. He inserted himself into things when he didn't need to, seemingly because he (either consciously or subconsciously) didn't like the spotlight being on others, and didn't like to be told he's wrong. And there's the fact that he played Tiberius as a "holier than thou" completely unironically. (I especially noticed this with his interaction with the dragonborn paladin during the episode with the council meeting, where he called her a peasant TO HER FACE, and then Orion seemed indignant when called out about it.)

    if Orion wasn't trying to maximize his output *literally* everytime it's his turn, everybody would be alright with alot of his problem solving, especially Matt. that turn where he used the telekinesis wyvern rider was amazing, especially trying to dragon-talk the wyvern away, not threatening to kill it, but giving it the option of 'fight with me, or go and be free somewhere other than here'. if he wasn't so dead-set on being the uber-badass of the group, the only one who can actually do things, not giving the rest of the group the respect they should have earned, Matt (or *any* DM) would be ecstatic at that particular outside the box turn, but as it is, it's just another 'oh, yes, this should throw a wrench in things, as is to be expected of my character Tiberius, who is awesome and knows all the right spells for every pickle we might find ourselves in, mostly because i bend the restrictions i should be sticking to, spending *WAY* more spells than i actually have, cause i want to, what do you mean i can't do that, poppycock!' kind of turn, that ends up being rewarded with a 'no, the wyvern is too well trained to listen to you and swoops down to pick up his rider, sorry.' credit where credit is due, but if you cultivate a strenuous relationship with the DM, you're setting yourself up for disappointment, whereas if you work with and try and stay within your character's means, the DM is going to be overjoyed to grant you that little bit of 'oh alright, i'm gonna allow it, even if it's strictly speaking not quite within the boundaries of the rules, and this is a dire situation.' and don't think i'm hating on a particular type of playstyle, the min-maxer or the rules-lawyer, *I'M* usually the guy that tries to play the super-annoying teleport happy swordmage or something and moves the figures across the board as if i was cheating at chess while flipping you the bird. i love figuring out how to most effectively and efficiently use the powers at my disposal, but you gotta be able to allow your character to hit that wall of 'i just can't do that, it's just out of my reach, i have no spell slots left to cast anything that could help, i worked my ass off to get this far and it feels like it.' instead of 'yeah, technically i can't, but i want to, so i'll do it, and if you tell me i can't, i'll be very cross and pull out one of my many magical artifacts which lets me do it after all, even though i would probably have to attune it first, forgetting completely, not to attune more than three at a time, although i should probably share these around with the group instead of having three head-slot items anyway, but screw all that, i wanna do it now and you better all thank me for it and say that i saved the day.' sorry, just irks me. it's not dissimillar to the example Matt mentioned that led him to become a DM in the first place, with his DM playing a character that he build in a ridiculous, OP fashion, not constraining himself and unbalancing the enjoyment for everybody else. It's the age-old discrepancy between Wizards and Fighters with one having the elements at their disposal and the other hitting things with a sword, often times the amount of fun for the guy playing the fighter is very minimal, waiting for the Wizard to stop controlling the stars for a minute, so they can hit the boss once and go back to sleep. but here everybody is so happy with the constraints their characters face in themselves and the world that Matt built, that Orion just sticks out like a sore thumb. Travis has *so* much downtime in between his turns, but gets so much enjoyment both out of observing his friends be awesome, and playing off of them whenever he's up, focusing on what his character could contribute to the conversation or conflict, instead of trying to crack the code of the game and beat the system. alright, i'm done.

    I could not disagree more. The magical artifact that he keept using was his one stone, thats were he is getting his telekinesis spells from, he offered the super powerful crown-thing to scanlan. The way I see it he was not happy but fine with the wyvern picking up that guy. But telling your DM that you want to slam a dude into a Ballista, get a nat 20 on your role just to get 7 dm out of that and then seeing how multiple other players get the chance to do-over their turns has to be frustrating. As for the Beholder fight that people keep giving him shit for: he was just the only one sticking to the original plan to fight the beholder together with the freed mindflayers.

I noticed that most of the time he's not paying attention to what his team is doing and waste a lot of time asking what just happened, like the ballista example that was fired a turn ago. He is the most powerful character and most of the time do nothing expecting his teammates to cry for his help, only to deny it or do something "original" but ineffective. I know what he has been through and wish no one what he had to endure, but right now I'm just expecting something stupid or metagaming from him until his out.

    For those who want to know the events of this episode without listening to the full thing (because of Orion's increasingly poor behavior, both in-game and in reality), I will be putting a brief action summation below for people to read, and doing the same with every episode from this one to Episode 27 (the last one Orion appears in). Spoilers below! - Our Story resumes with... the party standing outside of Gilmore's Glorious Goods, sorting through their new gear and dividing it amongst themselves. Listed below are what each party member has bought (with descriptions of each item's perks listed in my comment on the previous episode): Vax has a Dagger of Life-Stealing +1, Vex has a Pearl of Power, Pike has a Frostbrand shortsword & commissioned enchanted plate armor (will take an in-game month's time to be finished), Grog has a Belt of Dwarven Kind & two boxes of Gilmore's Glorious colored wax (crayons), Percy hasa tome titled A Manual on Quickness in Action & a mythril chain undershirt, Keyleth has a Ring of Protection +2, Tiberius has a Cloak of Displacement, Scanlan has Coldsnap Leather Armor +2, and sitting in the Bag of Holding are 3 superior healing potions, 6 greater healing potions, 2 potions of petrification removal, & a Ring of Evasion. - Tiberius attempts for a 3rd time to trade with Scanlan, but to no avail; Scanlan insists that he wants to think on it. Scanlan, Keyleth, & Tiberius then head back into Gilmore's to do some last-minute shopping; Scanlan inquires about a custom potion that will allow him to leave a mark in any place he's seen firsthand. Gilmore pledges to brew this within 2 days. Keyleth finds 2 books titled Essential Herbalism & The Nature of Nature (serving as a starting point on collecting alchemical components needed for potion-making). Once Scanlan is done, Tiberius asks about further enchanting an already-enchanted item. Gilmore warily tells Tiberius that such arcane abilities are obscenely rare, leaving Tiberius disappointed. Meanwhile, Vex seeks out a smith that can forge something new for Trinket. They meet Karin, a Dwarven woman who promises she will make armor for Trinket out of the Bullette hide the party collected in the Underdark. - Over the next 2 days off, each member spends their time as follows: Percy goes to his workshop & starts making both a grappling hook arrow & a more refined version of his earlier explosive arrow (3 of those; one of which was made so precisely it may carry a bonus effect). For these arrows, Vex kisses Percy on the cheek, to which he teases, "I... I'm just kissing everyone in the party now, am I? I've made my way through the twins, so who's next?" Pike secludes herself in the Temple of Saran Ray, spending time in constant prayer & apology for her violent actions in the Underdark. On the 2nd day, she feels Saran Ray touch her & reassure her of its presence; the crack in her holy symbol is gone, now looking brand new. Vax, who has been patiently waiting for his foot to finally be healed with the blessing of Saran Ray's divine touch upon Pike, sees his foot complete healed as though it were never harmed to being with. Grog visits the Laughing Lamia Tavern with Scanlan, seeking information on other goliaths nearby. Grog fails to persuade, but Scanlan manages to scare the f**k out of the whole bar. A young halfling answers in fear: "n-no...," but a human warrior informs both Scanlan & Grog that just south of Kraghammer's entranceway, a bold clan of goliaths have been daring to attack merchant caravans headed to Iman. Keyleth spends her 2 days in the keep reading her new books, taking notes and studying to learn the basics of potion-making. Tiberius locks himself away in his room, enchanting another earring so that everyone in the party can have one, rather than leaving 1 or 2 members out. He's about halfway done when the 3rd day of home-living dawns. - On Day 3, the party receives a message from the Council: "Please come hastily." Scanlan picks up his custom potion from Gilmore's, & Vex picks up Trinket's new armor from the smithy (the armor gives +2 AC & resistance to bludgeoning). While en route, the party stops at Allura's Tower so Tiberius can ask Allura about finishing the earring he'd started; she pledges to do so, as well as finishing the warp circle in the Keep. Tiberius thanks her with a purple dandy (a flower) & after some teasing from the group, they go to the Palace where they see the Council members (described in a comment on the previous episode), along with 2 envoys from Vasselheim. After some brief hesitation from Tiberius, he moves the Horn of Orcus from Grog's Bag of Holding into the Order's holy box. - Everyone heads to Cloudtop, where their airship and Captain Damon await them. Provisions are already aboard, & he attempts to answer questions before boarding. However, Keyleth - enamored by the magnificent skyline - nearly falls over a ledge. Grog saves her by holding her shirt so that she can simulate flying for a moment. Tiberius, meanwhile... **MASSIVE eyeroll**... casts "Image Capture" on the end of his staff so that he can "take a portrait of himself with the ship in the background." -__- A whistle blows, & everyone boards the ship - "We're off!" - Fast-forward 2 days, during which time: Percy & Keyleth continue studying ("Manual on Quickening..." for Percy, "Natural Herbalism" for Keyleth); Grog & Pike spend some time bonding, exploring the ship; Vax aids Keyleth in making two Polymorph scrolls - one for Vex to use on Trinket when needed, & one for Tiberius to use if he needs to save a use of Fly; Vex watches Captain Damon from atop the deck, observing his habits and leadership. On the 3rd day of the voyage, everyone is woken by the sudden lurching of the ship. Grog goes to check on Kima and the holy box while everyone else rushes topside, with Scanlan asking the captain what's wrong: 4 dragon-like beasts are surrounding the ship, & all of them are being ridden upon by humanoid creatures armed with spears, waiting for an opportunity to dismount. The battle begins! - The creatures are seen to be 3 wyverns & a griffin; despite the efforts of the twins to take out the griffin and its rider early, they don't deal enough damage to stop it from swooping in & carrying away a crewman of the ship, dropping him into the sky below to a certain death; the same fate also befalling one of the wyvern riders thanks to Tiberius' fondness for telekinesis. However, he fails to speak to the wyvern, who dives to catch its rider. Grog ties himself to the ship's left side with his chain, & Keyleth polymorphs one of the wyverns into a rabbit, damning it to a freefall as its rider lands a grappling hook toss onto the ship's right side. Thanks to Percy and Scanlan, two beasts hurl their riders; half of the enemy forces are either separated from their beasts on deck, or separated permanently. - Vex makes her way behind Grog as cover for her attack, nailing the griffin with a lightning arrow & ordering Trinket to pummel the wyvern Percy downed. However, due to the flailing of the wyvern's poisonous tail, Trinket ignores the order out of self-preservation. Vax makes a dash to the downed wyvern, and begins carving into it like a turkey. Tiberius, still not paying attention to anything but himself, turns to run from the rear of the boat towards the center deck, once again using telekinesis to... **Heavy sigh...** fling the elven griffin rider on the right side into the front-facing ballista, setting it off - firing the bolt off into the sky... nice going there, Tibs. - Keyleth, who was flung overboard by the griffin, shifts into an air elemental form, returns to the deck, & summons a small twister to fling the griffin's rider overboard. This shift in battle is short-lived, as the wyvern that Tiberius attempted to speak with has caught its rider, & over time made it's way to the rear of the ship, where the rider throws her spear into one of the arcane crystals holding up the ship! As everyone tumbles, Percy turns towards the rear & fires 2 rounds into the wyvern before it can carry Captain Damon off to kill him. Scanlan uses his Mage Hand to push the elven rider Tiberius failed to kill earlier completely off the boat, now falling to his actual death. One of the ship crewman returns to the right-side ballista & fires point-blank into the wounded griffin, sending his corpse spiraling towards the sea, & Vex uses her new grappling arrow to yank the halfling rider right off the mount of the last wyvern as her brother finishes the second one off with daggers. Then - in a rather dickish move, even for Tiberius - he calls back to Vax, saying "I like your idea," expending sorcerer points he doesn't even have to launch mystical daggers at the last wyvern, attempting to cut his wing off. -_______- - With only the last wyvern remaining (the party says they want to keep the rider alive for questioning), Percy takes aim from below, & after the last 2 shots from his first clip, the wyvern stands stunned; now is Percy's moment (HDYWTDT?). He goes full Wild West on the beast, firing all six rounds of a new clip in less than 10 seconds to finish it off. Keyleth fails to snag any parts from the body as it falls past her, & instead flies back up to the deck to reunite with everyone else. - End of Chapter: the party questions the halfling woman who's survived, & after a few questions from Grog & Tiberius (turns out they were just sky pirates & nothing more), they ask Damon what to do. Before he can finish the phrase "I would drop them norm...." Grog lets go, & Vex catches her (the grappling arrow still lodged in her shoulder from the battle), chastising Grog. Pike heals her & learns her name: Tira. Tiberius casts magic to clean her clothes & skin a bit, & the party offers her a legit job aboard the ship if she promises not to steal anything. She does so, & after Percy confirms the safety of the holy box, they all make their way below deck to rest & recoup.

    She's always 10/10 adorable. Have yet to see her not be, even in the new character of Yasha.

    47:36 imagine being a normal follower of Sarenrae, just walking through the temple, and you walk past this Gnome just praying there so hard she's pouring sweat, like there's a puddle underneath her of sweat.
