![]() ![]() During the first episode, we get what is potentially our first glimpse of the Matron, stalking through the bodies strewn around Emon wearing a pale mask and flowing black robes - Vax’ildan (Liam O’Brien) is the only character to witness her passage. Kash’s deep dive and Osysa’s commission aren’t necessarily the first encounters Vox Machina has had with the death goddess. He discusses the Matron’s champion, Purvan Suul - the best-named character in Critical Role history? - and Zahra Hydris (Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) mentions that the goddess “won’t let her treasures go so easily.” Surprisingly, it’s Scanlan who lands the deadly blow on Umbrasyl, taking down the second member of the Chroma Conclave.Legend of Vox Machina season 1 offered justice for KeylethĪccording to a quick rundown by Will Friedle’s Kashaw “Kash” Vesh in episode 3, the Matron of Ravens is Tal’Dorei’s version of a death goddess. So, he sneaks back into the lair, steals Mythcarver from Umbrasyl, and uses the Vestige to pierce through the dragon’s eye. However, in the last second, he remembers his daughter and how his fleeing instinct hurt so many people before. Scanlan, sensing his death approaching, decides to run away and abandon his friends. Using Mythcarver, Umbrasyl can always follow Vox Machina by seeing exactly where the other Vestiges are, so there’s also no use in hiding. And while they also drew blood from the mighty creature, it’s clear they cannot win. One by one, the heroes of Vox Machina are hit by Umbrasyl. Even Grog, with a broken leg, does whatever he can to wound the dragon. The whole party goes to his rescue, engaging the dragon in combat. Vax first enters the lair to scout but is surprised by Umbrasyl, who uses his invisibility to lay his own trap. Vax, however, lets everyone know how the gods and fate bless their quest, so they should accept whatever might come next. ![]() Scanlan is unwilling to fight since they are all beaten and without enough resources to turn the tide. Regrouped, Vox Machina decides to enter Umbrasyl’s lair and finish the job. At this moment, Vax embraces his fate as the Champion of Death, gaining wings that help to save both him and Scanlan. ![]() As for Vax and Scanlan, they manage to escape the belly of the beast by crawling through a flesh wound. However, Pike uses most of her magic to half-heal him, making her less useful in the coming combat. Thanks to the powers of the Titanstone Knuckles, goliath survives the fall. Grog keeps fighting against Umbrasyl in the air until he’s knocked down on the ground. Vex uses her magical broom, while Kayleth turns into a giant eagle to carry Percy and Pike. The rest of Vox Machina soon follows Umbrasyl, hoping to save their friends. Meanwhile, Vax and Scanlan remain inside the beast. Grog, typing an ax to some rope, hits Umbrasyl and is carried away into the skies. Despite their best efforts, Vox Machina can only damage Umbrasyl before the dragon flies away and retreats to his lair. While also trying to contain Umbrasyl’s might, Vax and Scanlan enter the dragon through his backdoor, using a sword to cut his stomach from the inside. The first part of the fight against the mighty dragon happens in Westruun after Vex triggers the trap with an arrow and ensnares Umbrasyl. With the help of the Herd of Storms, Percy (voiced by Taliesin Jaffe) builds a massive trap in Westruun, designed to keep Umbrasyl on the ground after he comes to collect his treasure. Now, the druid of Vox Machina can morph into a giant creature made of flames for a brief period, which surely comes in handy in their fight against the Chroma Conclave. To close the rift, Keyleth must learn how to master fire and become an avatar of the element itself. ![]() Unfortunately, someone helped Thordak to escape, leaving the portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire open in the city of Pyrah and bringing an army of scorching creatures into the Material Plane. So, many years before The Legend of Vox Machina’s main events, a group of heroes trapped the dragon in the Elemental Plane of Fire. Thordak is the mightiest dragon ever to threaten Tal'Dorei, and couldn’t be beaten by any warrior. There, they learn about the past of Thordak (voiced by Lance Reddick), the Cinder King, leader of the Chroma Conclave. While investigating the destruction left behind by the Chroma Conclave, the party goes to Pyrah, the home of the Fire Ashari. While Keyleth (voiced by Marisha Ray) doesn’t find a Vestige for herself, she also gets a power-up in Season 2 of The Legend of Vox Machina. ![]()
