THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA 3x10 REACTION | To the Ends of the World | Critical Role

[@damned0wl]

I like how they showcased Vax's out-of-combat Rogue abilities in this episode. Thieves' Cant, sneaking around to eavesdrop on some guys, using a disguise. Some of these don't come up very often, so it was pretty neat to see

[@Omn1Media]

[@GarrettMazzuca]

If memory serves, some of these plot points were done as a complete team at the table. Splitting up was a very efficient way for every character to both have their moment and progress the plot in a timely manner for a TV series.

[@AnxietyRat]

Yeah, pretty much through the entirety of the animated show most of the time when they split the party.... Things in the campaign were done as a complete party. There was very very minimal party splitting in the actual campaign. It literally only happened like once or twice, from what I can remember. But yeah they have to save time in the animated show and so they have to split the party to show the plot points that they want to show because they don't have TIME to go through both of them as a complete party.

[@wyattwalker7589]

yes Keyleth was right about Raishan having ulterior motives but no one was really against that fact (VM also broke their deal with Raishan multiple times), but Raishan was right about the eggs, and the Vestiges and attacked Thordak too. It’s a very similar problem as Vex in this episode, the conflict between wanting something done now and wanting it done well

[@elbruces]

#RaishanDidNothingWrong

[@kubka4]

It's not even that because they wouldn't be able to do it without Raishan's help. They would be all dead by now and Thordak would rule with his children. As you said nobody trusted her fully, but were able to judge the situation rationally and let her aid them with Thordak. So no, she wasn't RIGHT.

[@brilobox2]

They listened to Raishan and got the Vestige they needed. They *trusted* Raishan and got hundreds of soldiers killed along with almost all of the team. Big difference.

[@kubka4]

@@brilobox2 If that's true (we don't really know if that was her doing or just Thordak's) then Keyleth would be even less right, because she didn't want to listen to her with vestiges, but wanted to go with Raishan's plan of attack on Thordak... So she made all the wrong decisions if you think like that.

[@spiritkit]

[@AmazingChi]

S4 announcement wasn't old news, by the way. Until recently the cast had been on the "please watch because it tells Amazon to renew us" bandwagon.

[@havenomouth]

They did accidentally mention that they were recording season 4... but that didn't mean they were picked up by Amazon necessarily.

[@AAAndrew]

I’m wondering if Keyleth was drawn to the ship because Vax is there?

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

The Earth Seeing ritual has real "Broken Earth" vibes. It's such a neat idea, that drawing on the earth itself is powerful but dangerous for its sheer vastness, trying to contain it within a vessel as feeble and simple as a mortal body and mind.

[@shaskusmas]

I feel like they should have had some sort of explanation as to why Pike couldn't just Scry for her, since she just did it for Scanlan a couple episodes prior. I mean, I know why that wouldn't work, I just wonder if people who aren't familiar with D&D are like, wtf?

[@OnesieTwos]

@@shaskusmas LoVM has established that scrying has a component requirement, an item belonging to the target. We have also seen Orthax and Ripley notice and counter a scry. It would seem like it is harder to do in the show.

[@havenomouth]

@@shaskusmas I appreciate when shows don't dumb down with exposition. So many shows are filled with throwaway exposition lines that are added because a studio executive "doesn't get it". Then you get this obviously ADR line shoved in shot facing the back of someones head while they explain. "I don't have anything that belongs to her."

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

@@shaskusmas Yeah, I think they should have put in an explanation too, considering we've seen Pike, Allura, and Highbearer Vord use various types of scrying, AND Allura just teleporting directly to places. They probably left it out for time. But if they wanted to have Keyleth have another big moment of power/quest progression, then it would have been more impactful if they explained they needed something better than Scrying and why. To non D&D players it kind looks like she just learned a mystical druid version of what the others could already do. It would have been cooler if they conveyed how crazy powerful a planetwide Locate Creature spell is.

[@Herpestidae]

⁠@@sybariticcupboardrat3763 Or, maybe Keyleth is doing “a mystical Druid version of something others can do” because she doesn’t want to deal with those others at the moment.

[@Dragon_Lair]

I watched all three episodes. We're at a point now where it has completely deviated from the campaign so campaign watchers are now in the dark as well, with a vague sense of what is to come. And yeah, it was absolutely hilarious seeing Pike get so flustered when Kaylie asked about her relationship with Scanlan. It is very obvious that Pike definitely likes Scanlan and she knows it, but it is also equally obvious that Pike is still coming to terms with it because she knows he's such a womanizer.

[@brilobox2]

It hasn’t really deviated. It could go right back to almost exactly how it played out very easily. More like a bend in a rather straight road.

[@laurahart1337]

It's so interesting watching all of this and it being so different. Not that I mind, it's just... interesting. Like Keyleth had already gone to Terrah by the time we'd met all of these characters the first time. This is not where I thought they'd put it in the Seasons but I'm not sorry I was wrong.

[@havenomouth]

And the water ahari is opposing her. Leaves open so many story telling options. It's different but an amazing bit of adaptation.

[@Heavensrun]

Patience Omni. Some of your many questions will be answered in the next two episodes, if not in the Mighty Nein campaign. 😌

[@kaniamia]

We all knew that Raise Dead and other resurrection spells (beyond maybe Revivify) have been nixed by the show, but it’s interesting to see them do the same for Scrying. Scry comes into play so many times in the various campaigns, so I’m very curious to see how they navigate this now that they’ve established this trick as being an incredibly difficult ritual that often kills the caster.

[@consolescrub4031]

Theoretically Mythcarver seemed like a safe way to get at least a legend lore type effect previously. I seem to recall Allura has also done it before to locate Grog and the gnomes. Perhaps the idea is that Raishan is aware of these methods and presumably has countermeasures against them but can't cover up her link to the Ashari. (Mechanically you could get similar effects in game with the spell nondetection which makes you untargetable by divination magic but there's nothing stopping you from asking plants or animals living in the area if they've seen a green dragon recently.)

[@brilobox2]

It works if they have an item of emotional significance to the target, without that you have to do some complicated hoodoo.

[@SomeoneTookMyOldName]

Didn’t pike cast scry on Kaylie in episode 6?

[@kaniamia]

@@SomeoneTookMyOldName They used Kaylie’s sword for that… Admittedly It’s a little crazy that a single possession would mean the difference between a “no sweat” spell and a “probable death” spell.

[@mr.eldritch1589]

In keyleth’s defense, a cursory glance at green dragon lore would tell anybody that trusting raishan was guaranteed to bite them in the ass eventually. Buuuuut on the other hand, ulterior motives and impending double-cross aside, they still probably wouldn’t have been able to kill Thordak without raishan tipping them off to the armor and temporarily allying with them against him…

[@brilobox2]

She’s almost certainly the reason hundreds of soldiers died when they walked into Thordak’s trap and the team almost lost.

[@jayp9881]

Part of me cant fully agree with keyleth. Like yes ryshaun(probably spelled that wrong) turned out to betray them in the end what else was the group meant to do. Everything she said was true and her goal to take out thordak was yhe only thing that gave them a slight upper hand. Without her information they literally would not have won against him as they didnt have the vestige they needed. I feel the group is being blamed for unknown motives that they couldnt contend with. Like do they distrust ryshaun and let thordaks brood spawn and destroy the world or do they listen and destroy thordak and ruin the plans they know of that will destroy the world. Maybe im missing something but i think her nger is valid but its not like the group loved ryshaun she just had a method to bring an end to the destruction thordak was causing and time was running out.

[@tristanmilner9511]

"Dragon remains. There's a lot you can do with that." *Nods in Dungeon Meshi* Keyleth really was the John Cena of the group. "They literally call themselves 'Decepticons'. Doesn't that raise any red flags?"

[@AutumnWoodham]

Yes, we do learn what happened to Keyleth's mother, just not in this campaign.

[@mgormley7530]

I'm not sure I agree with Keyleth here. Raishan told them there was someone after the vestiages. She was not the one who sent Ripley, she was not the one who got them caught by J'mon, she did not sell out Whitestone. Keyleth pushed a confrontation *in the middle of town* and blamed Raishan for everything bad that happened with no proof. When asked if she had another plan she didn't. The group needed the plate anyway, they would not have won that battle without it. Just because she was right they couldn't trust her doesn't make her magically right about everything else.

[@Hamm3rshark]

Why did she get so angry at the party? Raishn is literally known for deceiving people and het she gets mad at them? Did she happen to forget that there was a much bigger problem in Thorak?

Im sorry but this season made me super hate Keyleth. She acts like she was the only one affected by dragons, which she wasnt. Also, noone trusted Raishan, but noone could deny that she was helpful and she did assist in defeating Thordak, which, without her, they 100% couldnt have done. I genuinely hate how whiney she is towards the group. Especially towards Vex n Vax, who were more directly affected by dragons then she was. She lost part of her clan, but they were orphaned. Idk, i didnt like how they wrote her this season. I love everyone else n i feel like everyone else is even better in the show then in actual play. But idk, i just hate Keyleth. Edit: I couldn't sit through the meeting with the Ashari. I was eye rolling the whole time because they try to present the Ashari like they're being unreasonable, n Keyleth is in the right for "wanting it bad enough" But they were right, Keyleth wasn't ready, it just felt like plot armor.

Exactly! Without Raishan the team would be dead by now and Thordak would rule the whole Tal'Dorei. Nobody really trusted her but as they said, they had no choice but let her help them since she wasn't the main threat to the world by far - Thordak was. So yes, they were deceived but it was the right choice since it helped them save the whole continent.

And to add insult to injury, the biggest and strongest bad so far, Tordak with archmage levels of magic, now with necromatic magic added to the mix. Fucking broken. She uses 3 spells, 1 meteor strike, a hold person on Vax and a barrier of some kind. Than Keyleth turns into a stone elemental and solos the biggest bad... cause no-one listens to me *crying baby noises* It was dumb, and anticlimactic. Every single fighter with a vestige literally did 0 damage. And the druid with wild shape kills a uber suppedup ancient fucking dragon. Every dragon so far was a group effort. With a bad ass solo finisher. She could've gotten the finisher. Not the whole fight. It made 0 sense at all. Brimscythe - group fight, Grog finish Umbrasyl - group fight, Scanlan finish Vorugal - group fight with a demon and help, keyleth + vex finish Thordak - group fight with an army and Raishan help, Vax finish Uber Raishan - Keyleth without vestiges solos. What???? They shouldn't have wasted time with a useless drama to cast a normal ass spell, and should have focused on getting the Spire of Conflux, Keyleths vestige, have a group fight and with the same finisher she did. But soloing the final boss cause my feelings are hurt is just bad writing. As a die hard fan. A expect better. As someone that pledged money on the kickstarter, I expected better. Bad writing period.
