6 years ago i made a piece in honour of the conclusion of the Chroma Conclave. I was inexplicably compelled to draw it yet again thanks to The Legend of Vox Machina.  Time flies.  (Also a friend pointed out that you could tell my current cats are utterly chaotic compared to the cat i lived with when i drew the first piece and it’s extremely true)

One day I wanna ask Matt Mercer why there are so many white dragons in his campaigns. They make up 40% of the 10 total dragons encounters in campaigns 1 and 2. For comparison, the second largest percentage is 20% for the blue dragons, which is half of the white’s percentage. The rest of the dragons represent their own unique color with 10% red, 10% green, 10% black, and 10% brass.

Why so many white dragons Mr. Mercer? Does he just like that color particularly? Is it the environments Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein keep finding themselves in? Or did he just only have a white dragon mini and no minis of the other colors for the longest time? I need these answers!!!

ROUND 1, POLL 60

Which NPC is the best overall character?

[littledarling13]

It’s Critical Role theory time! 

Something that has been itching at my brain about the Chrome Conclave in Campaign 1. All the dragons BUT Brimscythe (as described in TLOVM) are Ancient. Brimscythe was smaller/not Ancient according to Vex.

Brimscythe is also a blue dragon. Blue dragons are not known for their cunning, and their “natural environment” is the desert.

He would have been generally miserable in Emon, pretending for YEARS to be the General. But why was he the one who had to infiltrate Emon’s armies and figure out a way to reduce them so the dragons would have less of an issue when they came in as a group?

Why wasn’t it Raishan, the Deceiver? If had to elect someone in my group to infiltrate our biggest target, I wouldn’t pick the young kid who has no experience with these matters, I’d pick the master of lying. Maybe he was just the lowest rank so he did the dirty work?

The things that keep me up at night.

This fight is assuming that the characters are at the same (max) level and have access to all of their abilities/weapons/spells.

This poll is excluding the BBEGs, who will have their own poll. For the purposes of this poll, Lucien is in his normal tiefling/pre-somnovem form.

Oh, these new dragon designs absolutely FUCK

[gorgynei]

im so glad that they seem to have changed up the way theyre animating the dragons a bit like. comparing some of the newer shots of the dragons to brimscythe is such a stark contrast. they all look so badass and unique. umbrasyl looks PAINTED im in love with his design

[theladyyavilee]

also can I just say that while I was very unimpressed and a little disappointed with the dragon design fro brimscythe in season 1, the season 2 dragon designs were FUCKING LIT, what a fucking glow up, they looked so much more real and smooth and like, I don’t know, believable and BADASS and the variation between them was soooo good, like the way umbrasyl was dripping acid from his wings????? raishan all sleek and menacing? vorugal with the more bat-like wings and blocky design just looking more like a battering ram of sheer violence? and then thordak and the way he just lit up with fire??? BEYOND FUCKING AWESOME, I’m so glad they went all in on the dragon design this season (which was what I was hoping for, since it IS the dragon arc xD)

THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA | Brimscythe Design and 3D Model

Im really curious from your prev tags: how does veszeth feel about fel? How has it changed over time?

Oh thank you for the ask, I appreciate it! I guess you're referring to my tags on this post? - either way, I enjoy Sceleritas and he's imo one of the main highlights of the DUrge route. I love that weird little butler.

At least pre-being lobotomised by Orin, Veszeth always kept Sceleritas close. They first 'encountered' him as a disembodied voice, a shadow, and as a child thought him an imaginary friend. After they were in adolescence and made their way to the Temple of Bhaal by their own volition, Sceleritas was tasked with making sure every whim was catered to and they had everything they needed.

When Veszeth was younger at least, they saw Sceleritas as more of a nanny or babysitter than a butler, since I highly doubt Bhaal was a present father, and as they got older, it shifted more into the traditional Bhaalspawn-butler relationship that Sceleritas is trying to push them back towards during the game. They have been paired for decades by BG3.

I also think Veszeth was probably incredibly lonely during their time in the temple — isolated at Bhaal's orders until they were considered ready unless they were training or being educated by Sendai's Echo or Sarevok, so Sceleritas might have fulfilled the role of a confidant to them as well and while there's elements of Veszeth the old goblin might not quite understand (the way he refers to a non-binary DUrge at times definitely gives me a "he's a little confused, but he's got the spirit" vibes), he does what he can to keep them happy. Their wishes are his commands.

Of course there's been times where Veszeth has just killed Sceleritas - sometimes just for fun, or out of anger or frustration; they were quite volatile in the years leading up to when they took their adult name - but a butler only dies if the Bhaalspawn has no use for them, so he always comes back and grovels as if he displeased them. Or compliments them on the creativity of the kill.

During BG3, Sceleritas was a figure of both dread and anticipation while they didn't have their memories. Dread because Veszeth knows that with every visit from Fel, they risk being exposed. Anticipation, because it means they will be able to kill again and get a scrap of their past as a reward. And regardless of the fear or the dread, Sceleritas is the only one for the longest time who deigns to give them any sort of answers, as vague as they are.

I think, tbh, Veszeth would find life very difficult without Sceleritas since he's been around for the majority of their life - he's the closest thing to a constant for them, aside from the Urge.
