VOX MACHINA VS DOORS - Vox Machina ORIGIN Moments

[@NWolfsson]

Reminder that, this door traumatized Vox Machina so much that when they opened a door without issue in Grog's Bunions and Flagons, they were flabbergasted that a door could just open, not be locked or trapped.

[@ChargerBulldogs19]

I loved Liam/Vax’s response to that- “this is a utopia!”

[@madisonperry7447]

In late campaign when they were in the realm of Sarenrae and Pelor, as they approached the entrance to Pelor’s home the doors just opened on their own. One of them ( I think Liam) said “wow this really is heaven, the doors just open!”

[@theflyingwelshman5338]

There was one point where Percy opens a door with no effort, only to be met with pitch black on the other side. When Grog teasingly asked “What do you see, Percy?” Percy responds with “I see a door that I have conquered.”

[@georgerobins4110]

Reminds me of something that happened in a campaign I was in We were, like, so damn sus of this door and kept rolling all sorts of rolls (and failing them lmfao) until one of us just decided to use a fire spell to knock the damn thing down The narration of the DM went as follows: “As the door smoulders and falls off its hinges… you notice it was unlocked” Not a single one of us thought to try to just… open it 😂

[@robertbemis9800]

On the plus side It wasn’t a gazebo

[@otakugirl5512]

I love that they sort of build up like Percy is gonna find a window, get inside, open the door all smug while the other two fuck around. And then he falls out the window and we realize, "Oh, he's just as stupid as the rest of them."

[@emmawiley2452]

Vox Machina has three braincells, and two of those belong to Vex exclusively. The other belongs to Trinket

I took Percy falling as being a result of Scanlan's magical punch to the door.

[@MrNickster115]

I love how disappointed Percy was when he fell out too. He was already like “Ok I got this” then the universe humbles him

[@keeperofthefate]

Not stupid. Sometimes you roll crit fails. I still remember my first character from Warhammer Fantasy Role Play first ed. Elven war dancer with fighting skill of 90. That meant, if I rolled below 91 on 1d100 i would score a hit. In theory my guy could always land a damage in melee combat. But I always got 1/3 fails and had a lot of double-o's (100), which meant I had critical failures.

[@JaxiPaxified]

@@keeperofthefate By that logic, you would need a fighting skill of 1 to theoreticly always hit ;) (sorry I'm really just nitpicking.) Sounds like you got really unlucky! I had a halfling rouge (known to be lucky) that I nicknamed "The Unlucky," as I rarely rolled over a 10 on the d20 with him.

It makes me incredibly happy to see that the most replayed part of this video was "I fell out of the window."

Turns out it was a pull door not a push door.... 🤣😅

The way they bring to life the events in the campaign is incredible. They change just enough to make it "TV Friendly" while maintaining elements of what actually happened.

[@OG_champmav]

Thanks AQ! You know these connections to the campaign so well! Your recall and talent with video creation is truly a gift to us all. I suspect these correlation videos are bound to draw new batches of Critters into the fold, mainly from the LOVM series' new fans. And, as an OG Critter, I marvel anew at the improvisational genius of the CR cast. It's really no mystery why we're all fans!

[@amandawray08]

Thanks, ArseQueef! These are great!

[@hkazu63]

I must say, “thanks ArseQueef” is not something I expected to see today, but the sentiments I agree with.

This transcends campaigns, I honestly feel a sense of Dread with every locked door they face

[@ApacheGamer]

I know this is an older video, but a couple weeks back I was running a game and two of the players had magic keys to unlock the doors in the dungeon sealed with magic. Some silver some gold. Our Dragonborn Fighter and our Human Paladin kept trying to break down a magically sealed door by running into it over and over. The Paladin at one point rolled a Nat 1 and tripped and the Dragonborn with a 15 kept going trampling the Paladin before bouncing off the door and landing on top of the paladin who had a Dragonborn foot print on his face. Later the Dragonborn rolled a Nat 1 and missed the door and hit the wall with so much force they left a silhouette of themselves in the wall. Finally the Half Elf Warlock unlocked the door. The two didn't notice she had and charged again running through the unlocked door and tackling the prisoner they were supposed save on the other side knocking them unconscious.

The boing sound as Scanlan's foot disappears. 😂 And I wonder what Orthax was thinking of Percy at that moment lol

[@vigilantcorgi2901]

its amazing that after all these years.... they still dont know how to open doors

[@aimeepollock4813]

Whoever makes doors and locks in Whitehall is EXTREMELY underrated.

[@racheld8920]

I'm so fucking happy they included this. This was the number 1 moment I wanted.

[@metamain1980]

as a primarily dex based player, I feel this on an emotional level

[@CruelWarren13]

Of the 2 DnD campaigns I’ve listened to why is it doors are the arch enemy of everyone, (This and Tales from the Stinky Dragon)

[@NeonNuanceGaming]

I knew there had to be a video about their REAL foe...

[@MangoLeaf9103]

Thumbnail is too perfect!! I need to see this from the start

[@faycemahn121]

I'm crying. They need more seasons.

[@lichguard]

I like the blink daggers

[@ThisIsMego]

I fucking LOVE that they put the "Vox Machina bested by doors" meme in there.

[@charles-co2vh]

This just makes me wanna start a game with players locked behind a door like this lol

[@sumo8669]

undim1 in the chat: "i would love to see this animated" a true prophet

[@CinnamonQuills]

Just from the context of the scene, and when they encountered a cell door later they were like, "LOOK, see, that door was just cursed," I knew that something exactly like this had happened

[@thegriffin88]

I was so happy they included this. I was laughing so hard about it and nobody around me knew why because they didn't watch the show.

[@seno2983]

the fuckin door, every dnd parties weakness
