The way in which their ghastly entities battle the group gives some gruesome kills to the guards and puts more than one of our heroes on the brink of death. The animation for these ghosts is terrifying. This made even more evident when the Brairwoods unleashed ghostly creatures to attack Vox Machina and retrieve Deliah’s book. While Vox Machina may not be the pillars of good just yet but it is clear that the Lord and Lady are pure evil.
VOX MACHINA MEMBERS SERIES
It really establishes this series is not going to shy away from the brutality that evil characters in The Legend of Vox Machina are capable of. This is The Legend of Vox Machina‘s first true into the past of one of its titular characters and it isn’t pretty. Percy informs the group about the true nature of the Briarwoods and what they did to his home of Whitestone. His maiming of the Briarwood driver, the smoke monster, the mask, all of it needs an explanation. The group is still reeling from the interaction with the Briarwoods but all eyes of on Percy ( Taliesin Jaffe). After the Briarwoods fled, they are made aware that Deliah’s book has been taken by the band and they are determined to retrieve it lest Vox Machina uncovers their secrets.īack at their keep, the members of Vox Machina try and decide what their next actions will be. Following the battle with Sylas ( Matthew Mercer) and Deliah ( Grey DeLisle) Briarwood, the members of Vox Machina are sentenced to house arrest while an investigation is conducted into the group’s claims that Sovereign Uriel ( Khary Payton) is under Briarwood influence. The next trio of episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina wastes no time jumping back into the story. However, the expectation of quirky and exciting stories quickly gave way to ominously dark foreboding with the introduction of the dreaded Briarwoods. Their even surface-level introduction shows the promise of quirky and exciting stories to be told.
The soon-to-be heroes of Exandria are still rough around the edges but their intergroup dynamics are endearing as the group is fierce.
While jokes flowed and the action commenced, the seven primary characters were established in a ‘session 0’ of sorts through the first three episodes. After an overwhelmingly positive reception, it was clear that this new adult animation was here to stay. Previously on The Legend of Vox Machina, people everywhere were introduced to the chaotic yet loveable adventuring band from the dungeons and dragons group, Critical Role.
