The vision with Keyleth at the grave was a future if they all live long lives. Keyleth (if not killed by something) will outlive everyone in the group by centuries. Vax is afraid of hurting her by dating her and dying, leaving Keyleth all alone.

[@leovk5779]

Exactly the theme of a recent anime, Frieren. At least it immediately brought Frieren to my mind, maybe it was even slightly inspired (unless this element was all along in their roleplaying sessions far before that.)

[@cthomsen4]

@@TheNecronomica It's technicaly a D&D thing. Level 20 Druids gets a feature that's called something along the lines of "timeless body". Basicly their body stop aging and makes archdruids unable to die from natural courses. The way they explain it in LoVM is the Aramente, being the key to unlocking Keyleths' full potential and by extension immortality.

[@TheNecronomica]

@@cthomsen4 i know :)

[@elbruces]

@@cthomsen4 Technically, it slows your aging by a factor of 10. But take a half-elf's lifespan and multiply that by 10, and you've got a lifespan of well over a millenium.

[@btgardener39]

Weirdly enough, the quest failing if Keyleth isn't with them isn't what Vax's vision was pointing towards. If Keyleth becomes Voice of the Tempest by mastering all four elements, her lifespan becomes extended nearly indefinitely -- she'll live for centuries, not aging, as those around her and especially her friends age and slowly die one by one. That's a fear she's pushed down inside for a long while, as evidenced by what Osysa tested her mettle with waaaaaay back in season 2 episode 2.

[@snappedsquire8479]

If I recall correctly, Keyleth will likely live for over a thousand years. Due to the Archdruid thing from dnd, for every 10 years she'd only age one year, and half elves normally live around 150ish years

[@caffeinedelusions]

Y'know what... Kudos to Grog for just GOING with it when he sees Percy will start doing the irrational reckless thing. He's ALL in on backing him up and not letting him go into danger alone. There are a lot of friendships in Vox Machina that don't get a lot of chance to be explored properly in the animation, that don't get to take front and center for whatever reason, and this is one of them... but little touches like this, where Grog just full-faith has Percy's back help to fill in the gaps in that social cohesion.

[@sammiebray1661]

Grog is a ride or die, and i appreciate it

Matt described Thordak becoming something 'more' -- so being able to lay eggs was a trivial matter.

Kiki being a Druid, she will outlive everyone by nearly 1,500 years. Druids when they reach a high enough level get timeless body, which allows them to age 10x slower.

[@FrostyTheSnowPickle]

I recommend you remember Raishan's comment of "Finally, a rational mind," while looking at Keyleth. If they stick to what happened in the campaign, that's going to come back in a big way. Also, in the campaign, Vex's favor that she owed Scanlan ended up being something entirely different. He went and bought a wide-brimmed pointy witch's hat, and he told her she had to wear it whenever she was flying on the broom.

[@executionflux91]

Keyleth's big fear is a very real one. Druids get a reduced lifespan, 1 year for every 10, so her being a half-elf on top of that means she will outlive everyone of her friends and lovers by a wide birth. Imagine that. Even the longest lived members of her party will likely die of old age before she looks 30

Powerful druids virtually stop aging, living ten times longer than other individuals of their ancestry.

Still living LONG after everyone she knows and loves is gone. Osysa the sphinx poked at that fear of hers in season 2.

Keyleth will live a very long time. Her youth will be measured in many centuries. Even the longest living Gnomes only live 350-500 years. Regular half elves around 160-180. Half Giants up to 200 and humans up to about 100. Even under an ideal outcome Keyleth will watch everyone die from old age while she is still a relatively young woman.

What? What?!”* We should have know, of course. I know that this is meant to be very dramatic, but there's one thing about this vision of Keyleth's fear of outliving all her friends that actually made me burst out laughing: As you noted, one of the visual signifiers they used to make this Keyleth _feel_ "older", besides the grey streak and the slight lines on her face, was that they turned her little "antlers" into a _big,_ pointy, multi-pronged crown, as if they had _grown_ over the years. It is now my head-canon that Keyleth "sheds" her Circlet of Wisdom (which she got from her mother) every year, to grow a new, bigger one, like an actual deer! 14:28 - *“Oh cool; love the birds. Oh, I love this!”* With this visit to Ank'Harel, they've visited three different continents in the show. They started on the continent that Humans call Tal'Dorei, after the empire that spans its entire surface - though other races tend to still call it Gwessar. They went north-west to Issylra, where Vasselheim and Pyrah are located - and now they've gone south-west to Marquet, which Scanlan had mentioned before.

[@AlunKahul]

Just to explain the vision Vax had when kissing Keyleth, when she completes going to all the Elemental areas for her journey, she will become an Archdruid. And their lives gets extended drastically. They age 1 year for every 10 years that actually pass. So he was seeing the distant future where the rest of party passes away from old age and she is left to grieve them all alone

Just watched your reaction to season 2, and wanted to just give some D&D insight from a lifetime DM. The Raven Queen was a Pathfinder goddess, but Matthew Mercer melded her to fit into his world of Exandria. She is the goddess of death, and Vax'ildan is her champion, her reaper. The Chroma Conclave is made of one of each kind of Chromatic dragon: Thordak the Cinder King, is a red dragon that breaths fire Brimscythe the Iron Storm, was a blue dragon that breathed lightning. Umbrasyl the Hope Devourer, was a black dragon with acid Vorugal the Frigid Doom, is a white dragon with ice and Raishan the Diseased Deciever, is a green dragon with poison Chromatic Dragons are often of the evil alignment. Metallic dragons (Brass, copper, silver, gold, bronze) are often good.

Sam Riegel us a son of a b. I say that with love. Sam has made me cry more than 4 times now. Every character he has made has made me cry at least once during the live show. And sam himself made me cry when he did his update video for everyone about his life. You can trust sam with your life... but not your emotions.

I was so excited that they included the Kaylie/Grog romance... does that mean we'll be seeing were-bear trinket?

[@elbruces]

Regarding Scanlan, I'm still going to joke that you're basically Kaylie in real life. Mainly from the accent, hair, and attitude towards him. Keyleth is going to get even angrier, as the love triangle between her, Vax and Raishan plays out.

That spoiler takes "dragon riding" to a whole different level...

The favor was something else in the game, but I won't say what just in case they end up using it later.

Just to explain a bit about Thordak's eggs. Typically dragons do need a partner of the opposite sex in order to reproduce, Thordak is an exception because of the mutations to his body as a result of the Soul Anchor which allow him to reproduce asexually. That's actually part of what made the threat of Thordak's brood so terrifying. Should they hatch there's no telling the kind of destruction that could be wrought by a new species of primordial dragons that may also be able to reproduce asexually. Such creatures could easily overrun and overwhelm the entire world.

Anyone else think that Mistress Asharru looks kinda like Ana from Overwatch?
