    Just a small fact: dragon breath type depends on the color of the dragon. Brimsythe from season 1 was blue dragon who had lightning breath. Vorugal the white dragon has ice, Umbrasyl the black dragon has acid, Raishan the green dragon has poison and Thordak the red dragon has fire

    Adding to this the good counterparts are metallic copper, brass, bronze, silver and gold who match up weapon to weapon e.g. gold and red use fire. I believe there are also neutral gem dragons and a whole heap of other rarer types like deep dragons and some forgotten ones that only showed up occasionally in the games history like purple, orange or brown.

    The BTS stuff the animators talk about how they took the 3D dragons and applied so much hand-painted accents and details. That's why they look so much better. They also went way into more sophisticate lighting and atmospherics (like the embers, snowflakes and ashes flying through the air), all of which are hand-painted. The animation is so much better this season. Season 3 should come out early next year some time, and Campaign 2, The Mighty Nein, is already at storyboards. Sam Riegel, (scanlon) has said that he'd like to see at least one more season (4) if not 5 altogether to finish out the major arcs in Vox Machina.

    Honestly 5 seasons seems most likely with all of the story that they have to push and condense into animated form. The Mighty Nein I can see being 6 seasons, and if they ever do Bells Hells I can see them currently having 3-4 seasons with a 4-5th beginning now with the current arc they just started. One can only hope though. 🙏🤞

    There was a bunch of stuff in the campaign that made the arrival of the Chroma Conclave even more buck-wild than it is here. First is the fact that it happened much later in their story. The first season of the show picks up basically 3 years into the campaign (between their home game and the early stuff of the live stream). They were much more integrated and attached to Emon as a setting, it was their home. Seeing it destroyed was devastating for the players. The second, even more wild thing is that the players convinced themselves at first that the dragons attacking was Vox Machina’s fault. That was never Matt’s intention with the story he was telling. But the players had re-raided the lair of the dragon from season one out of pure greed, and in the early fog of war they were heartbroken because they thought the dragons attacked out of retaliation for that.

    Others have already explained the other type of dragons (color and damage type), but also, Brimscythe from season 1 was a Young to Adult dragon. Dragons get stronger the older they are, and the four that attacked Emon are all Ancient dragons. They are way stronger than Brimscythe was. Dragons go from Wyrmling (0-5 years), Young (6-100), Adult (101-800), Ancient (801-1200), then Greatwyrm (1201+ and some other requirements). Just to give some context on why this is an even bigger deal than just it being four dragons.

    One Dragon was bad enough, but now there are four as we enter the arc of the Chroma Conclave. Each Dragon's colour identifies its power; Umbrasyl is the acidic black dragon (voiced by the DM, Matthew Mercer) the Hope Devourer, Raishan is the toxic green dragon (voiced by Cree Summer) the Diseased Deceiver, Vorugal is the white ice dragon (voiced by Vax's player and VA, Liam O'Brien) the Frigid Doom and Thordak is the red dragon of fire (voiced by Lance Reddick) the Cinder King. Their destruction of Emon set the tone of how powerful they are compared to Vox Machina, who could only be put in an escape situation as the dragons - who in Exandria were one of the first beings of existence - claimed the city. Thordak was in fact hinted in the early campaign, and a bit in Season 1 talking about the red dragon, the show didn't cover it but a great shadow in the Fire Plane the group hid from was the dragon, so on the table it was a 'is that what that was?' moment. Oh trust me, they were shitting themselves, not all on the table are as experienced as you'd expect. The bar was set to be high when Grog's player Travis rolled 19 to attack, and missed, 22 barely hit. Trinket was frozen to unconsciousness and they only survived the assault on Greyskull because Thordak ordered Vorugal away, only 25 refugees survived the night. Of course more stuff happened, Percy and Grog fought over a wishing skull, Gilmore's was being looted, stuff like that the show trimmed off to make the story more linear. Keyleth's spell 'Pass through Trees' does come in handy for the escape, but it means now the group have to seek out a means to defeat the Conclave, which leads them to Religious hub Vassalheim...who are kinda dicks ngl they're often about not helping more than they are with helping. Still it leads them to one of the twins' old clubs, the Clasp, and Grog faces a dawn marshal of one of the gods, Kord, the Stormlord. We have word of what tools we need though, the Vestiges of Divergence, weapons of godly champions during the Calamity (a war between gods hundreds of years ago). The Black Powder dealer is one of Matt Mercer's more famous NPCs in Critical Role as well, he put his all into the performance, bit more bargaining involved than what was in the show of course. Still, you'll find this arc to have more expressed focus on Vax, similarly to how the last season focused more on Percy, something is seen among all the death, but only for his eyes.

    Victor was a fan favourite NPC from the campaign, they had to get him in there somewhere😂 The best thing is that a) Matt came up with this character on the spot b) the way he _immediately_ fell into this voice and the physicality of this character was just absolutely hilarious in the moment and c) Victor's character design in the show (while, yes, looking somewhat like Bumi) is actually based on Matt's own cosplay of him. They are big on Halloween over at Critical Role and always come dressed up for their Halloween episode. One year they all dressed up as various NPCs Matt has played and he himself chose Victor. That same year Laura (Vex) and her husband Travis (Grog) were cosplaying the Briarwoods and their cosplay actually also influenced the Briarwoods final design in the show.

    The Mighty Nein is actually considered to be a more popular campaign than Vox Machina. It starts off with the characters meeting for the first time. The character dynamics and development into a found family is the best I've ever seen in any media. Not to mention that they just brought them back for a liveshow oneshot that takes place DURING campaign 3. I only hope that they get greenlit for Bells Hells once its over because that'd just make a perfect trilogy with everything thats been happening in the current campaign.

    There are a number of different types of dragons across D&D lore. The ones shown fall under the chromatic category and each color gives them different damage types, Thordak fire(red), Brimscythe lightning(blue), Vorugal ice(white), Umbrasyl acid(black), and Raishan poison(green). Each dragon also has different stats as well. So their levels of STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA all greatly differ. Age is also a massive part of a dragon's strength. Brimscythe was somewhere been Young (6-100) and Adult (101-800) via the wiki. I image he's somewhere in the 300-400 year old range at the time of his death. These other four are all over 800 years old.

    It's a little hard to keep track of which dragon is which so here's the breakdown of that: Brimscythe was the Blue Dragon (Lighning Breath) Thordak is the Red Dragon (Fire Breath) Raishan is the Green Dragon (Poison Gas Breath) Vorugal is the White Dragon (Ice Breath) Umbrasyl is the Black Dragon (Acid Breath)

    Notice how in this episode, Vox Machina tries doing everything they successfully did against Brimscythe at the start of season 1, but literally none of it works against these ones because they're just *that* much more powerful. (Brimscythe was a young/adult dragon, while these are *ancient.*) More specifically: 1. Grog, their strongest fighter, rages and strikes their weak spot at the base of the neck, and while it killed Brimscythe, these are so tough that *his axe* breaks instead and the dragon is totally unharmed. 2. They try illusions to fool them, but ancient dragons have detect magic and can see through illusions. 3. They try magic, but these are powerful magic users themselves and are fully capable of casting Dispel Magic. 4. They fought Brimscythe inside a cave where his mobility was hindered, but as Thordak demonstrates, these ones are so powerful they could just break through a mountain even if you manage to corner them inside one.

    Bidet, all! I've really been enjoying your reactions: I love listening to them while I work, and have gone through so many that I just listen to the audio while I work, I know where you are in the series based on the audio. There are recently some really silent spots, though, with neither commentary--I know you all are super-engrossed, I get that!--nor show audio, which makes it difficult to follow. I know you probably edit due to DMCA worries, but you're doing a great job with chopping up and covering video, they're totally cool as long as you're not just straight-up playing the whole show (although I've seen that, too.) On to Episodes 3 and 4, I can't WAIT to see your reactions to them!

    The thing osisu was touching on for Keyleth was that she’s the only full elf in the party, and a young one. Full elves live to be around 750 years old. The only ones who can get even close are the gnomes pike and scanlan who can get to about 350. The twins are half elves so they’ve got a solid 150, everyone else will cap at 100 if they’re lucky. On top of that she’s a Druid. When you become arch Druid, which is what she’s training for, she will age at 1/10th the rate. Meaning she caps put at around 7500 year old life span. She will outlive civilizations.

    Keyleth is a half elf too (with both her parents being half elves so its a bit weird if you dont have the direct D&D game, but its visible when comparing her ears to the twins and to elven NPCs), but the arch druid slow aging still applies

    i think the blue dragon in the first season is a regular dragon, and these 4 dragons are ancient dragons. That's why Grogs axe could not even harm them and they have the ability to see threw magic or negate magic used against them. Most dragons are evil in D&D, there are good ones but evil cults and evil dragons hunt the good one down and work to bring back there dragon god Tiamat a 5 or more headed dragon

    Yeah you dont fuck with dragons, especially if they are thousands years old as they get stronger with age. The dragons we seen till now all strangely belong to a faction, The Chroma Conclave, and are: Brimscythe - blue dragon in season 1 with lighting breath, was the youngest Vourgal - white dragon - breathes ice Umbrasyl - black dragon - breathes acid Raishan - green dragon - breathes poison Thordak- red dragon - breathes fire Another thing about dragons that you noticed is the glowing eyes - which was probably them using magic. As if being a dragon not powerful enough, dragons are also capable of learning some spellcasting and they often do.

    Answer to a question in your video, dragons gain the ability to turn into humans at a certain age. They aren't humans that turn into dragons. Dragons have a shape change ability once they are a certain age (800-1000+ years). D&D wizards of the coast confirms this for metallic dragons (silver, gold, bronze, etc.) and from VM we know Matt also did this for some of the chromatic dragons of the chroma conclave with Thordak, Raishan, and Brimsythe.

    Dragons in dnd are very inteligent. The older the larger the more powerful and inteligent. They can posses magic and take human form. Their power literally changes their home/lair to their own element. In the first season it was the gold conducting electricity. The chromatic coloured ones are evil. red - fire, black - acid, green - poison, blue - lighting and white - ice.
