Are they literally coming down from the mount on high and crossing a sea to the holy city?

Nia is the first cleric?

She has come down from the mount bearing the words of the gods so that she may seek the holy city and spread the gospel news?

Can anyone hear me??

Just for funsies, here's my small prediction for TLoVM episode 4. [Spoilers for the end of episode 3]

Obviously Vox Machina getting arrested at the end of e3 is a divergence from canon and while it makes sense given that - at this point in the animated show - the Council doesn't really have enough experience with VM to trust them after seeing them attack the Briarwoods, I kept thinking it would have been easy to make it so VM runs off before the Council arrives. With only 25 minute in an episode to tell a long story, why arrest them if it gets in the way of VM getting to Whitestone?

My hypothesis? It's all about Kima. By skipping the Underdark arc the audience has no real basis to understand Kima's character. We know they gave Assum's concern of what's happening in Whitestone to Kima. So what better way to help the audience learn that Kima is an amazing ally with no real respect for authority than to have her jail break VM?

I'm on the fence about whether Allura would help too. I'm leaning slightly towards no just because I think the characterization is stronger if it's just Kima, but also I know *I* want to see the wives doing more stuff together and since apparently the CR cast is giving the fans everything they want maybe they'll give us this too.

Anyway, I am exactly 0% invested in being right, but I would love to see more Kima, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed we get more of her one way or another.
