[@rickyzeitler7169]

The reason Pop Pop looked so much older to Pike while Scanlon and Kayle look similar in age is because Pop Pop is Pike's great great grandfather. Gnomes in DnD can live anywhere between 350-500 years

[@cloudcutter81]

yep and canonically Scanlan is 69years old(nice) and kaylie is like in her 20's gnomes mature the same rate as human i think is the thing but age slower once they hit adulthood

[@Yashaanzm90]

RIGHT!!!!

[@Anurahm_Kycor]

The age thing is pretty simple. Gnomes like pop pop, pike, scanlan, and kaylie can live a VERY long time. Like 300-500 years. Scanlan is 69 years old right now. Kaylie is in her 30's or 40's. The twins will live to be in their 200's. While grog and Percy live normal human lines. Keyleth being a druid will live for a thousand years or more which is why Osysa said "no one will live long enough to see you achieve your goals"

[@dragonofchaos8518]

Keyleth is a half-elf like the twins, so would live an equal length to them. Druids in D&D (5e specifically) are just a class not race & dont have extended lifespans (from what I remember of my DMing days)

[@tjmann3177]

@@dragonofchaos8518 Actually, once you reach level 20 in druid, your lifespan lengthens to a ridiculous degree. Centuries will pass, and Keyleth might look 5 years older. Half-elves live a long time, but a half-elf druid? She'll literally be in her prime for centuries

[@dragonofchaos8518]

@@tjmann3177 You are correct, just rechecked and at lvl 18 they get timeless body which reduces aging by a factor for 10 (10 years pass = 1 year of aging). As said im my orginal post, been a while since I've done any reading on the classes.

[@nox_tech_]

​@@dragonofchaos8518 on that note, from what i can remember, keyleth's aramente and the ashari stuff were critical role homebrews - keyleth completing her aramente so that she could lead the air ashari would be what leads her to having an extended lifetime of 1000+ years, among other benefits.

[@Dragon_Lair]

@@dragonofchaos8518 Once Keyleth becomes an arch druid it will take 10 years for her to age 1 year, and that means her lifespan can be 200 years multiplied by 10. Yeah, she's got a very long and lonely road ahead of her. She'll outlive all of her friends. She'll easily be one of the most powerful beings in the entire world but she can still look to be in her 30's and be watching her friend's great-great-great grandkids living their lives.

Yeah Lupa, in the west at least dragons become notorious for hoarding treasure. Old stories like Beowulf or the story of Sigurd famously feature dragons guarding gold etc

[@aghadlarhen9397]

Yup. Middle Earth has heavy norse myth influences so it's kinda obvious that Smaug behave no different to Fafnir.

[@boiledcrap]

I was told it was because they destroy normal bedding and the best was a soft metal. But now I figure it's like big scaly birds: love shinies!

Dragons: people who auto order from DoorDash and eat the driver.

[@JayJayM57]

one thing to add, in Norse mythology there`s a curse treasure horde that turns its owner into a dragon. so if you kill the dragon and get its horde of gold, you will be cursed with insatiable greed and become a dragon. I think the only gold item was cursed. I don`t remember if it was one of the gold coins or a ring. this tale could be the source of dragons' obsession with gold in media.

Kaylie is mid 20s, and pike's great great grandfather is like 350? not sure bout pike herself. EDIT: "he was 69 at the start of the campaign, because why wouldn't he be.

To add to the bit of dragons hoarding treasure, I learned a few years ago that in the case of Smaug, he laid in the treasure so long that some of it got embedded into his skin, giving him like a layer or armor. That's why arrows, swords, etc. had such a hard time piercing him aside from his weak spot.

Iirc dragons in older editions of dnd don't horde gold just because. They need it because they use it as a conduit for magic. It's how they can hibernate for decades without eating and it's also how they grow stronger as they get older. (tougher scales and more spells) Not only dragons though. Dwarves are generally without magic and resistant to it. Yet they can imbue magic into things they create with the stuff.

[@KJetixsSuccessor]

I’m glad that for once the “death” in this world isn’t some complete a-hole that goes on and on about the end of things.

And I’ve heard it so many times that it pisses me off. 🌋🤦🏾‍♂️ But know that I do not crave immortality nor wish it. Nor do I believe things should be immortal. But I’m not gonna keel over to death willingly. You stick it out as long as you can, because there are others who need you, others who are waiting for you, others you can help. I do not fear death but I will never serve or praise it. “Death can have me when it has earned me” And if it has earned others in my life, then I know that they will be in a place of peace eternally. Because not even death is eternal, because it’s just as much a choice as life is.

Pyke's pop is probably a couple hundred years old. 226 isn't the oldest gnome in fantasy worlds.

[@timhurlburt4506]

Dragons horde treasure because lots of different mythologies used dragons to represent greed and arrogance, and therefore depicted them collecting gold purely for their own self fulfillment. Basically, dragons are greed personified, and the heroes who slay them are those "pure" enough to overcome greed.

[@octavianaugustus06]

To explain age issues with the gnomes. D&D gnomes live somewhere between 300-500 years but hit puberty at the same age as humans. A rough estimate would be that every 5 gnome years after age 15 is equivalent to 1 human year (in terms of maturity). Pop pop is Great Great Grandpa, so there's 4 generations of difference between him and Pike. With gnomes, he could be anywhere from 80-200+ years older than Pike (likely the latter). Kayle is around 30 years old, making her roughly 18 by human standards. Scanlan at the start of the adventure was 69 (because of course he was), making him about 26 by human standards. They look similar in age because in terms of physique and maturity, there's only about 8 human years between them. Pike is about 40, so the rough equivalent of a 20 year old human. The reason she looks older is because her hair changed color. Originally it was dark like you see in the flashback with Grog, but it turned pure white after the stress of being resurrected (before show, which will likely be shown next season in a flashback). Percy's hair turned pure white for a similar reason after surviving the trauma of the Briarwoods.

Gnomes mature at the same rate as humans, and most are expected to settle into adult life around the age of 40. They can live to 350 years on average, but it's not too uncommon for them to reach 500 years of age.

[@TenebrousFilms]

Originally, Kaylie named her mother first. She did intend to kill Scanlan, but Sam rolled persuasion in the 30s, and Matt rolled a natural 1 for Kaylie's attack. The gods can't speak directly to anyone on the material plane, hence the visions. They have to meet in the middle, so to speak, for an actual conversation. For some gods, meditation can suffice; the god of death needs you to drown enough to be between. I don't know about the betrayer gods, they probably need something nastier. Originally, they teleported into the dragon and used an Immovable Rod (in his stomach, btw)... but you have to admit, this was far more entertaining! I didn't remember Umbrasyl having Greater Invisibility, but it turns out, he didn't use it until the events of the next episode... assuming it was the actual spell, not a lair-specific thing.

Never watched the live plays but since critical roll is mildly based on pathfinder 1e ttrpg (original rpg they used before using dnd 5e) it’s pretty much this. Mother of matrons is Pharasma, goddess of death. She monitors souls that passed on into her realm and help guide them to be reborn in a new life or something else. Her enemy is ones that prevents souls from passing on or desecrate dead bodies like necromancers. So with that in pathfinder a known undead lich named Tar-Baphon aka The Whispered Tyrant… let that title sink in. Figure it out? In vox machina s1 that ziggurat is an alter to the god of death titled “The Whispered One.” And he left BUT left behind an artifact. Knowing him as the god of undead that’s bad. The set up is matron of ravens she knows her archenemy presence is in the material plane and that’s a problem. So Vax isn’t just a shepherd to guide souls but she need a champion to help the adventures fight the whispered one when the day comes assumingely.

[@StuartEaston23]

I've seen their first campaign and you pretty much got most things right. However the name of the evil death lord they dealt with was called Vecna.
