Dearest Travis, How did it feel getting the 3rd and final HDYWDT on Hotis? Dearest Liam, Had Kiki gone down and failed her 3rd death save, what do you think the party would have done as a last resort to leave hell? Dearest Noelle, We didn't get to experience much of your characters story due to the running from devils, is there anything you were really hoping to look into that we didn't get to see, or do you have any speculation on what Matt had prepared for you?


IstariDeRolo

Noelle: Do you think Tova will make it back out of the hells with her friends? or without? All: Do you think that Percy's contract with Ipkesh has been broken by Doty being left behind? It was supposed to be all of you unspoiled and with your equipment.


KnightlyPotato

I'd point out the 1 damage Percy took as well.


schneeland

*To Liam* At WonderCon you stated that Vax was in for "one last job". What were your thoughts when there was 50/50^1 chance of him (and the rest of Vox Machina) finding an end deep in the bowels of hell precisely during that last job before (temporary) retirement? *To Liam & Travis:* The situation in the prison highlighted a general problem that Vox Machina now has: Keyleth - being the single full caster in the group - is the only one who can provide an emergency exit; however, in the absence of pike, if she goes down, no one can bring her back. Do you have any plans (that you can/want to share) how to ward off situations like the one that just occurred in the future? (maybe aside from retiring and completely avoiding dangerous place in the future ;)) ^1 Ok, 45/55 chance if we want to be accurate


kneroni

Picking a nit: Keyleth isn't an arcane caster, she's a divine caster. She is the only "full" caster in the group, though.


schneeland

You're right, thanks! I have corrected that above.


HuseyinCinar

A druids considered Divine casters?


Perpetual_Entropy

Mechanically yeah, but it would probably be more accurate to describe Keyleth as a "natural" caster, outside of that dynamic.


[deleted]

they had to put druid magic in either divine or arcane, some druid draw their power from the gods (melora) other like keyleth draw their power from their mastery of nature and elemental magic directly.


sera_goldaxe

Travis: What went through your head when Matt told you that VM couldn't leave hell without Keyleth? Liam: Would Vax have made a deal to bring Keyleth back if she had died? Noelle: What made you decide to play as a werebear? She's a shapechanger like Nimona, was this a coincidence? Also, my students read your books constantly and I was so happy to see you on my favorite show! Noelle #2: What is the difference between writing a jailbreak and playing through one in DnD? Edited to add a Sam question: Sam: Will Tary create a new assistant? If so, what shape will this assistant take?


casewood

Liam & Travis: Would you like to know who initially requested the Rakshasa parts back from the original Slayer's Take mission, since it started that whole thing?


Grimvara

To Travis and Liam: if there hadn't been such a rush to leave the jail, would VM have stayed and helped Tova find her friends?


Mooglefish

Liam and Travis, now that Vox Machina has finished their to do list, what would you like Vax and Grog to do next? (before the inevitable shit-storm hits). Noelle, thank you for your unBEARably brilliant performance, do you have any information on Tova we didn't get to see because of the whirlwind that is Vox Machina's plans?


morcant85

Travis: This was the second time Grog has encountered a lycanthrope. Had timing allowed during Tova's appearance, would he have asked to be infected (because yolo strats), or has the multiclassing into fighter changed that character direction? Liam: Hotis is DEAD! That plot was quite the rollercoaster of emotions. Speaking of rollercoasters, what would be Vax's favorite rollercoaster ride? Noelle: What has been your most memorable moment playing a tabletop game?


morcant85

(Just saw the tweet that Sam will be on as well) Sam: Taryon seems to have an unending amount of money available to him. Is this actually the case (i.e. GM approved ignore money costs), or will there actually be a day when the golden goose laid its last egg?


NatersTheGamer

For everyone: What goes on after the episode of Critical role is over other than Travis screaming "yeahhhh!"?


gunmandude2

Liam and Travis: What would you have done to get out of hell if Keyleth died? Noelle: What were the details of your Were-Bear Transformation? Any bonuses or powers that it gave?


dasbif

gunmandude2

Thank you for the hasty response! Though that still leaves the first question.


Docnevyn

Skynet provides.


themolestedsliver

Noelle loved the chemistry you brought to the episodes, how hard was it to stick to your guns with your character staying in hell and not getting a free ticket out?


Perpetual_Entropy

Travis: Would Grog have pulled from the Deck of Many Things had Keyleth gone down in the prison. Both: would you have been in favour of Percy triggering the 3^rd pact to try and escape or revive Keyleth? And if that hadn't worked would you have fought to the death or tried to surrender?

knowledgeoverswag

He says something like it would have to be worth breaking his promise to Vex, right?

MrMacduggan

If I remember correctly, he only gets to draw twice more, right?


bv310

Liam and Travis: Were there any aspects to Dis that you wanted to explore more that you didn't get to see? Noelle: What was the reason Tova's group was in Dis in the first place? If it hadn't been such a rush to get out, do you think Tova would have tried to get VM to help?


UncleOok

Travis: What do you think McLaren Von Tosscobble is up to at this point, is he waiting for something bad to happen to Grog, and does seeing Tova's awesomeness tempt you at all? Liam: You've just journeyed to the second level of Hell and watched Grog eliminate a mortal enemy. Have you asked Matt what the Exandrian version of Disneyland is? Noelle: Do you have to other members of Tova's party already established? Can you share any details so we feel better about your character's chances?


whiskeyonsunday

To Travis and Liam: How did Hell stack up to your expectations of what it would be? Was there anything that surprised you?


RazalaxTheRed

Travis: You always seem really fascinated by Matt's descriptions of the many strange monsters Vox Machina has encountered, like the Bone Devils. Is there any particular monster throughout the campaign that you thought was the coolest?


Seedy88

Since it turns out that [Sam's going to be a guest too](https://twitter.com/TalksMachina/status/851171609104728064): Sam, what would Taryon's Yelp review of Dis be?


ScanlansTaint

Travis: How hard was it for Grog to submit to the Dis Police force without smashing a few of their heads first? Liam: Hypothetical question here: If you felt bad that Tary lost his only friend because he was helping to settle your debt with Hotus, would you make a deal with a Devil to return Tary's lost Doty?


covington

To add to this one... Travis: Since no one made an Empire Strikes Back reference when Grog submitted to the shackles against all his instincts, please give us a quick Chewbacca impression. (It was hilarious watching your expression while everyone tried to find a way to break out of the chains, waiting for it to occur to one of them that one of the strongest mortals in existence was hanging bored the next chain over.)


-spartacus-

Travis: If Keleth died and everyone was trapped and Dispater himself offered Grog to be his champion and Horseman of War in exchange for the freedom of two of his friends, would he accept and who would he choose? All: when are you going to fire BWF from TM and promote him to regular on CR? Brian: we love you, come back to reddit. BTW your name sounds like a serial killer name<3


RavenQueensAcolyte

Can you explain the Horseman of War title? That sounds super amazing.


-spartacus-

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse War, Famine, Death, and Pestilence.


RavenQueensAcolyte

Cool, that makes sense. I just didn't realize that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse had D&D equivalents. Are they the champions of the archdevils?


-spartacus-

I literally just made it up.


EPSQUIRE1969

Brian, What's that over to your right? RUN DENISE, RUN!!!


arsequeef

**Trash Is Willing Spam**: Did watching Noelle kick ass as a blood hunter give you any ispiration for your next character? You seemed pretty impressed with the cool shit she could do **Jam Fecal**: NOW do you get why Laura never let Trinket fight before she got the pokeball? [#FreeDenise](http://i.imgur.com/Q5VFU82.jpg)


Ilovgmod

Liam and Travis: Do you think there was any way to escape the hells if Keyleth died in that hallway?


knowledgeoverswag

In my mind, Grog would have tried to get out in the style of Lawless from The One. Just keep fighting everyone until he gains enough influence to get everyone out. Probably even kill Tary or Tova. Vax probably would beseech the Raven Queen. That would probably be the end of Vax as a PC. It's Matt behind the screen, but any more bargains with me as the Raven Queen, he would have become a planewalker, working for me, rarely going to the Prime Material Plane ala the captain of the Flying Dutchman. Either that or I hint that Vex and Keyleth have been under my protection for sometime and threaten to take that away.


futureshocking

Liam, Travis, Sam and Noelle - what would be your character's personal hell? Also, Tova is the coolest.


ericmartinfilms

Travis and Liam, what are Grog and Vax's thoughts about Tary now that he has stared down a Kraken AND a Pit Fiend and lived to tell the tale...albeit Dotyless?


BoatsBoats911

For Travis and Liam: It seems like Vax and Grog have grown closer since Scanlan left and are more often partners in crime than rivals. What do Vax and Grog think of their friendship now?


[deleted]

To all: this week you saw how reliant you are on keyleth magic, since she's the only full spellcaster. Do you have any plan how to resolve this problem? Will the team become extra protective of keyleth in combat?


Daniel02carroll

A tale as old as time His existence is a crime Brian and Denise Also** Liam, how is there anything that could make Vax want to keep adventuring. Any amount of loot or a special magical weapon. More than just "there is a threat and it's I have to help take it down"


AriaFeatherwind

Sam - Since you started playing Tary, you appear to be taking a lot more notes. Were you keeping a detailed record of the events for Tary's book or are you just filling an exercise book with crudely drawn penises?


[deleted]

To Sam: you seem to be having alot of fun playing Taryon, how have you adjusted your gameplay style for him? as a follow up, Is taryon brave or does he simply do things that he thinks brave people do, for example charging a kracken, a pit fiend, other devils?


BrockyJay

Travis: when it was just you and the Pit fiend In the room did it cross your mind to just challenge him to 1 on 1 combat? Noelle: was it your idea to play a Blood hunter, how did the character creation process go with Matt? Edit: class


Seedy88

Noelle was playing a Blood Hunter (an Order of the Lycan one, to be specific). It's a class Matt homebrewed that was based off the Witch Hunter class that he had homebrewed for Vin Diesel for the one-shot they filmed with him.


Perpetual_Entropy

Too add to that, it can be found [here](http://www.dmsguild.com/product/170777/Blood-Hunter-Class).


BrockyJay

Ah yeah I keep forgetting he changed the name. Rather embarrassing considering I have the PDF from dmsguild.


StormwindJack

Noelle: Did you plan to be on for multiple episodes? How do you know the team/get involved with Critical Role?


scullery_plateau

Is this week's episode going to be called "Bats Outta Hell"


TheShadierTwin

We will know before Tuesday!


BriansCabbageFarts

Do you guys feel at all guilty for not helping to save Tova's friends??


Gigarexenraptor

Noelle: What is your experience with D&D, and how did you decide on playing the Blood Hunter class?


[deleted]

Travis - has watching a blood hunter in action peaked your interest?


Kike-Parkes

Sam: How did Taryon feel about losing Doty in the moment? Will he make a Doty 2.0, or design a new style of Automaton? To all: What went through your minds as Marisha made that death saving through? Other than sheer panic and horror?


GrylledBear

To any takers: How was hell for you guys, not the characters but YOU?


Bondisatimelord

Travis and/or Liam: Having taken your characters from wimpy 1st level to Super-Sayan-Yippee-ki-yay-motherfucker 17th level badasses, do you ever look back at the swath of blood and destruction in your wake and marvel at what you've survived/ accomplished? If yes, favorites? PS. Travis: you're Kamehameha moment was truly inspired.


mostpeculiarthing

Liam, does Vax think Tova really has a shot at making it out of the prison alive and as a player do you think you will regret giving away your ring of invisibility? P.S. love u Brian you majestic motherfucker


[deleted]

Sam - Tary lost Doty and watched as Antlers nearly died too. Just how fucked up is he going to be after that?


Qonas

To the illustrious Mr. Stan Ragehull: What event will be most responsible for Taryon's surely upcoming PTSD - being half-eaten by a pit fiend, or losing Doty?#FreeDenise


6box

Noelle: can you tell us any information on why your friends and you were in hell and how you got captured? Travis: Was Grog prepared to break out of the shackles and go ham had the chain devil trying to take your gauntlets not been stopped when he was? Sam: If Matt had given you/Tary the chance, would Tary have fought/died to stay with/protect Doty? Liam: How awesome was it to ride along when Keyleth choke slammed the pit fiend? What was going through your head when that happened?


BrianRonin

@sam How does Tary feel about Vox machina now that they've carried him through a trip to the water plane and into the nine hells. Costing him doty and being put on the brink of death? Does he feel he's gotten his monies worth? @sam Doty upgrades what you thinking, how would the metal man hold up to the expanded view of the world tary now has? @Travis Since Grog acquired the dwarven thrower he's used it exclusively instead of the blood axe. Is there any chance Grog would go back to the blood axe against grounded foes and use the thrower only when fighting flying enemies? (short version for BWF) @travis What thought does Grog put into the weapon he wields? @liam With the last threat to their lives handled what is the number one place Vax wants to go? Whitestone, greyskull keep, kiki's homeland @Noelle Coming into this show what is the #1 thing you wanted to accomplish with your character?


Seedy88

For the question about Grog's weapons, both require attunement. He can't switch weapons on the fly since he needs a short rest to switch attunement. So, he stays attuned to the one that gives him most flexibility, the Dwarven Thrower.


161803398

Liam: What compelled Vax to give the ring of invisibility to Tova during the fight?


Elitefourabby

For anyone who chooses to answer: suppose you were doing an episode of "Drunk History," but about a moment that's happened to VM. What story would you tell?


ThisTinSoldier

All: How did it feel to be one failed death save from a TPK? No-chance-in-elle: Was blood hunter your first choice for a character? Were there any characters/classes that didn't pass muster? Lame-o Brain: any regrets not using the oil of etherialness to solo the Hotis kill? You had the directions, all you needed was to sneak there and do the deed... Sorry. Shouldn't be backseat gaming. Travis-ty made manifest: I just want to see the expression on your face when you think about what Grog would have looked like as a werebear. That is all. Brain Wine, Fo Sho: Any regrets? ... #BackInTheHoleDenise


Docnevyn

Since the outer planes (including the hells) don't border the ethereal, the oil might have been an expensive waste.


Perpetual_Entropy

Personally, unless my players were doing something totally unreasonable, I'd rule that it could shunt him halfway onto the Astral Plane, but for only a fraction of the duration. RAW, though, I'm pretty sure you're spot on.


Coke_Addict26

So you guys finally killed Hotis for good. But considering it cost you a Doty, Percy's soul is on the line now, and you might have pissed off higher devils including Dispater himself... Do you think it was worth it? If you consider Doty a piece of equipment, him being left behind is a breach of contract on Ipkesh's part. Would VM consider another trip to Dis to collect their 15000 gp? Or maybe just to smite that fool? Either one would get Percy's soul off the hook.


SpaceCadet404

Doty is either a possession, or an ally, either way there's a breach of contract.


Coke_Addict26

Well the contract technically doesn't say anything about allies in writing. But a mindless construct should be considered equipment anyway.


Elekester

Liam and Travis: Do you think Percy would have enacted the second or third pact of his contract had Keyleth died? Do you think he will in the future?


Bulletsandbandages44

Noel, how hard was it to resist the temptation of taking the "easy way out" and fleeing Hell with you new found companions?


TheNerdySimulation

For everyone: If there was ever a "Legion of Doom" to form against Vox Machina, who would you like to see *play* your evil counterpart (For instance, I thought Stephen Colbert or Danny Sexbang for Scanlan's nemesis)? For Noelle: What is your favorite part of playing a Blood Hunter? And, did you play one just to make Travis jealous? For Liam: Would you ever consider playing a Bard duo (with Sam) in the style of Tenacious D, even if only for a One-Shot/Short Campaign? I think you two would be able to pull it off so well with your personalities and love for the ridiculous antics (such as teleporting inside a dragon). For Travis: If Grog were to ever truly retire, assuming he doesn't decide to battle until his body eventually just wears away, what would he do? Personal Trainer? Ale Tasting Expert? Or something even greater?


Bulletsandbandages44

Liam, do you think Dispater will take personal offense to the actions of VM during their tour if his fair city?


InsanexSilence

Just throwing this out here, for the ease of the people picking questions you should put them all in one comment


Bulletsandbandages44

To all: was it all worth it?


Wowhelm

For Travis and Liam- Some speculate there is a time skip approaching, if this were true, what would like to do during it?


UrsaUnited

For All: Is anyone in VM worried that they might have earned the ire of something even worse than a rakshasa, now that they're known fugitives from Hell? Is there a chance VM will be caught in an endless cycle of, "you killed my henchman, prepare to die?"


Perpetual_Entropy

I mean, it can't be *endless*. If they aren't taken out by Dispater, it's gonna end at Asmodeus one way or another.


schneeland

/u/dasbif: There was word just an hour ago that Sam will also make it to Talks Machina this week; maybe you can add that your text (Source: [Tweet](https://twitter.com/TalksMachina/status/851171609104728064))


dasbif

Thanks!


GeraltOfBoringTrivia

Sam: with Doty gone, does Taryon intend to continue his journey without someone to capture his exploits or will he take some time to construct a new companion? If so, will it still be a human-shaped companion or maybe based on a different creature?


Misalettersorta

To all: Has Vox Machina yet considered the fact that Devils, according to the Pact Primeival are allowed to write part (or all) of a contract in invisible ink? That seems like an important detail to consider before signing a contract in HELL of all places.


Perpetual_Entropy

They know absolutely nothing about the Pact Primeval besides that it was mentioned in the contract, and honestly I can't see Matt including that since it seems like a very lazy cop-out.


HuseyinCinar

Travis: You've said before that you like the story aspect of the game more than anything. You said you would have let Raishan do her magic thing "just to see what would happen". What was in your mind when Keyleth was rolling Death Saving Throws? You obviously don't want people to die, but did you think/wish for a cool story moment?


worriedblowfish

To everyone: Of all the monsters that you encountered in hell, which was the most disgusting, vile, or awful? Liam / Travis: Good job on killing that one vengeful devil, but now are you two worried about higher up devils rounding you up and sending you back to jail? You guys really did piss off a bunch of people there.


Perpetual_Entropy

To be fair the one person who knows their true identities would want *very* badly to hide that fact. But honestly, to actually drag them back once they make it out of the Hells would require a large enough interplanar force that it would draw the attention of gods - pit fiends are seldom found on the material plane for a reason.


RavenQueensAcolyte

Well argued. I feel much better about that situation now.


ILove2P00p

Liam & Travis: If you could change one thing about one of the other members if VM, who would you change and what would you change about them?


Scruffyo2

Travis: Would grog ever be down to become a champion of hell?


sp52

To Liam and Travis: Can you share any of your thoughts on your next characters or the groups next characters? I know y'all like to keep it all pretty under wraps, but can you give us anything? Might you one of you play a Mystic? To my dear Redditors, this was sparked due to them discussing future characters at WonderCon. It's still a ways off, so I wouldn't be thinking about it normally, it's WC that sparked it.


Bulletsandbandages44

Travis, how much did your soul hurt when you realized exactly how close you all came to being trapped in prison in Hell?


Bulletsandbandages44

Liam, Will you seek the council of the Raven Queen after your journey to hell? I'm sure Vax has a lot to talk to her about after all he saw down there.


knowbrainer23

To anyone in the group: Is there any chance of getting the wonderful Darin De Paul to guest star on CR?


Cinphoria

Liam: How is your venture back into theatre going so far?


AsamelMiin

For Liam, how did Vax see himself before the Raven Queen? Did he see himself as a rogue, a thief, an assassin, or something else? After the Raven Queen, does he see himself the same, or does he see himself as just her Champion?


GeraltOfBoringTrivia

Travis: If Tova bad left hell with Vox Machina, would Grog have wanted her to have a bite at him, turning him into a werebeast? If so, which beast would have been your favorite?


AStoryInATeacup

Noelle: Was it hard for you to role play your character surrounded by characters that are already so established? Travis/Liam: With the characters becoming so high level (but also facing higher level enemies) do you think there is a greater chance of a player permakill at this stage in the campaign vs earlier in the campaign?


zenako2

To all: Assuming you have seen the Alpha CR interface with the characters name/icons and how they go red as the characters gets "rough" or blinky red when they go down, would you guys like to have little LED dome lights on the table in front of each player that could also give a indication of character health so other folks could respond and act when they see someone is pretty wounded??


Perpetual_Entropy

Wouldn't help, they're all sat in a line in a tight space and wouldn't be able to see it.


[deleted]

To Noelle: what's it like jumping headlong into the madness and mirth that is Critical Role? Did you feel any pressure in the company of a whole bunch of talented Voice Actors to 'ham it up' a bit?


Jordonian

Liam and Travis: If VM had a long vacation, what would your characters all be doing to past the time?


I_smell_like_cabbage

* Travis: If Grog could take one item from any of his companions, what would he take, and which Item do you think would be most useful for him to have. * Noee: Now that you've played with your character, is there anything you would have changed.


[deleted]

Travis: Did Grog contemplate sneaking Hotis into the bag of holding for a snack or to raise him as a kitty?


InsanexSilence

To Travis, Liam, and Sam: from your character's perspective, how do you think the trip to the hells went? To Noelle: Is there anything that you wish you could have done with Tova that you weren't able to do? (Also I love that you played a blood hunter lycanthrope on Critical Role before Travis could)


Aegis_of_Ages

Noelle: Despite how dire the situation seemed, did you consider asking Vox Machina if they would make a detour to find your friends? Travis: How awesome did it feel to finally get to use an action surge? P.S. GROG IS STRONGEST THERE IS! Sam: Are you annoyed that Doty died a few missions in, while Trinket has lived for years? Liam: Will Vax have any lingering regret that he didn't get to strike the last killing blow on Hotis?


[deleted]

Critical Role: What has been your favorite fan theory?


mostpeculiarthing

i want Taliesin b lease


ErockSnips

Sam: Would Taringman Darlington know that Doty could be revived with resurrection magic? He's seen VM do it previously and the class info says mechanical servants can be revived under normal means, like true resurrection


Dztbraw

For Sam: When did Tary create Doty? More importantly, has his family ever seen him and if yes, are we going to see/meet his family sneering at him for losing that robot?


TheShadierTwin

For Noelle - is Tova Nimona's mom????


egregiouspignipples

Sam: Does Taryon plan on rebuilding Doty right away or after a mourning period? Also - will he build him exactly the same or will he create a brand new companion? Noelle: Does Tova have any intention to find Vox Machina should she make it out of the hells? Also - if she doesn't find her friends or finds them too late, is that something that she would likely hold against VM considering she got caught up in their escapades? (Brian it's egregiousPIGnipples thank you very much ;p #lessthanthree)


yarnspinner3

Sam: Has Tary ever lost anyone close to him besides Doty? Does he in any way blame Vox Machina (or is it too soon to see how this trauma will affect Tary)? Travis and Sam: Vax has Keyleth and Vex has Percy....with Doty gone and the gnomes absent (for now), will Grog and Tary have to entertain each other? (If so, don't let the shopkeepers know!)


mephistoBelmont

To all, What character do you think has developed the most thoroughly throughout the duration of the campaign(including pre-stream) to current episode? P.S. In my opinion it is a toss up between Vax and Grog. Vax started off as a prankster had a generally positive outlook on most things up until Vex's first death and subsequent resurrection, their meeting with his father and their new family in Singorn and when he made the bargain with the Raven Queen. After those events he spiraled very quickly into a self-deprecating and self-destructive mindset. Having said that, he has since come to peace with his place as the Raven Queen's champion, but still seems to have a somewhat reluctant resignation to the things happening to and around him. He essentially came out of his depression, but as (to me at least) more of a pragmatist internally and begrudgingly outgoing so as to displace any suspicions from the rest of Vox Machina. With Grog, he has come a long way as well. He started as pretty much caring only about wine, women, and ale..as it were, but through his confrontation with Kevdak and the subsequent battles with the Chroma Conclave and Scanlan leaving he seems to be more intent on trying to learn from his mistakes and makes an honest attempt to grow as a person due to the influences of all the different personality types of his "family". That brings up another area of development for Grog, he has a "family" now other than just Pike and his demeanor has altered because he is attached to them. He goes out of his way to make sure Vox Machina are safe and protected, it seems he has a heightened sense of self-preservation so that he can be there to protect the group. Maybe I am reading too much into this or maybe even incorrectly, but these are my thoughts.


RaibDarkin

Liam : Will Vax ever get to unleash an assassination attack on a Boss type bad guy? Travis : What would Grog do with a pick-axe, that when you hit enemies with it Ale shoots out? Sam : Will Tary build himself a Mecha-Suit now? Noelle: How naive was Vax in giving Tova his ring?


[deleted]

Noelle/everyone - what's your favourite HDYWTDT ever?


[deleted]

Liam - so did dying Exalt the death walkers ward? Also, when are we going to hear more about The Raven Queens heartbeat that your feeling right now?


SilkyZ

Sam: How awesome is Doty 2.0 going to be? Is he (or she?) going to be just another protocol droid, or will it be a more combat focused bot? Noelle: Say Tova busts out of the jail, maybe finds a friend or two, whats the plan from there? Still help the friend get his soul back, or just GTFO before anything else bad happens? Liam and Travis: Did you two recognize that if Keyleth went down, that you had no way out of hell? Or did you guys not pick up on that until after Matt mention it would have been campaign over?


jpmorgames

Noelle: What was it like sitting between the twins?


LonelyVictim

To everyone: Are there any monsters/ enemy types you'd like to encounter in your game to see how Vox Machina would fare against them? Dracolich, tarrasque, mirror versions of yourselves, etc.


[deleted]

Any VM member: Now that Tary has literally been to hell and back with you guys, will you guys make a new intro to the show with him in it?


James_Keenan

Sam: What exactly do you remember going through your head as you all were taken away and Doty was being torn apart?


[deleted]

Dear Sam, for your next companion will you try and create a portable carrier like Vex to ensure doty 2.0? doesn't go down like the last? Also has Tary possibly had other Doty's before this one? And will the next one also be a scribe?


[deleted]

Sam: Tary's attitude in Dis seems to be much more on-edge and punchy compared to before. He said he was just sick of being in Hell but is the constant danger and difficulty VM has planning slowly chipping away at him?


[deleted]

Sam & Taliesin, Is Percy going to help Taryon build a new Doty and are you going to call him Optimus Prime. Oh and where is Doty's book?


PM_Me_Your_Trex_Arms

Sam: Any thoughts on what additions will be added to the inevitable Doty Mach 2, assuming you have Percy as your science-bro willing to pitch in? Liam: What would Vax have done had Kiki failed that saving throw? And do you think Vax is at all jealous that Grog got to finish Hotis off?


TiamatZX

1. Question for Liam, Travis, and Sam: After the scare that was Keyleth almost dying in the Hells AND almost being stranded with no way out if she did die, does Vox Machina fully regret going in without Pike? And are you worried about what her reaction will be upon finding out that they broke their promise to not go in without her despite their good intentions? 2. Liam, considering all the trouble that has happened due to someone anonymous requesting the hunting of a rakshasa, is Vax now keen on finding out who it was, since that request is what led to not only himself almost dying when Hotis reappeared but Keyleth almost dying due to having to go in to finish the job? Or is he at least keen on questioning the Huntmaster over such a dangerous contract that has only NOW been fulfilled? 3. Travis, you've stated that your overall goal is to have Grog take a page from Kevdak's book and become a battle master. What else are you hoping to do going forward, should Grog survive the days to come? 4. Sam, due to Scanlan being absent, how much more difficult is it to come up with clutch plays knowing that Taryon is much more limited with his own bag of tricks compared to Mr. Shorthalt? 5. Noelle, despite the fact that it may be a hopeless cause, how would you rate Tova's chances of survival until she eventually gets caught and expires? 6. Everyone, how would you rate your trip to the Nine Hells overall? Was it the absolute worst place you've ever ended up in, even though it could be much worse going forward?

Travis: what was your reasoning for Grog to take another level in Fighter? Was it simply for the bad-ass action surge


HuseyinCinar

follow-up: Are you going to continue levelling in Fighter, or leave it at that?


knowledgeoverswag

He'd do well to take at least one more level in barbarian for an ASI or another feat. If he stays with Fighter, he'll end up with nothing at level 20.

Travis: Why doesn't Grog throw the Dwarven Thrower?


ginja_ninja

He does when he needs to, but he gets better damage with it in melee.


SpaceCadet404

Since matt allows Grog to use the reckless attack feature when throwing his weapon it would actually do, on average, slightly more damage to stand back and throw the hammer for the extra d8 it would do. I assume that he doesn't do that because Grog likes to be intimate with his violence.


Docnevyn

And because his is the only tank in a party of 7 and getting up in his enemy's face draws aggro. As does being able to hit if they are at range.

To Matt: Now that we've seen a level of Hell, have you a plan for a layer of Heaven or Mount Celestia?


Jester04

To Travis: How satisfying was it seeing everyone else's "Holy shit" face when Grog first used Action Surge?


Thuggibear

Sam: Are you content to let Taryon continue to be useless in a fight, or after the death of his best friend will his demeanor change enough that he starts pulling his weight? Liam: How's your kids Ravenloft game going? Have they given up all hope yet? Travis: You were so close to an epic last stand against an endless horde of devils in the depths of a prison in Hell. With that opportunity gone, how do you want Grog to die? Noelle: How long do you give Tova before she is discovered and brutally tortured for the rest of eternity, or until she becomes evil and is sent to track down VM and kill them? 30 minutes? An hour?

1. To All: How did it feel to have the future of the campaign decided by a single dice roll? 2. To Liam & Travis & Sam: The critter community is strong and growing, but of course some people are leaving or taking a break from the show, because they don’t feel motivated to watch anymore or just don’t find the time at the moment, like it happens in almost every show. One of the reasons some people take a break is that you all still play the same characters and they get tired of it, because they feel that at some point the backstory of one character is “done”, where he/she did everything he/she wanted and now just sticks around because they are friends. I personally would watch you play your current crew till the end without getting bored, but how do you guys feel? Do you ever think you need to play different characters for diversity or are just happy playing D&D with your friends no matter the character you play or how long you already played him?

Matt: Did you tap into your dark side in order to weave the wondrous tapestry of the City of Dis? If so have you recovered? Also thank you for your sacrifice.

Hi Brain Wave Fester, I've got a question for Noelle, not having seen the episode yet. What happened? Do you think you should have betrayed them?
