I really hope Ashton mentions the Hishari to Keke, and that Laudna gets to interact with her some more, just because ID love to see Marisha roleplaying with both her characters. And if a certain necromancer maybe makes a reappearance…

Longshot wish - any mention of other meme bees of Vox Machina or M9, especially ones we haven’t seen yet

Wish granted! Titan blood for everyone!

When Orym's mother is saying she's proud of him for potentially being able to "hear the voice" he says "I'm hanging in" and it reminded me of those motivational cat posters. Then I saw this on that new Strange Planet show.

How's the Strange Planet show?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How old is the rest of Vox Machina at this point? Percy is human so he doesn't live that long compared to the rest I believe? He'd be in his 50s?

But if this is VM one shot in the making to save Vax I'm 100% in. Get the team back together!

I’m a little worried with what happens if Keyleth and Chetney’s new sword are in the same room…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What's everyone's expectations for tonight's episode?

I hope the team gets some relaxing time in Zephrah, meet more of Orym's family, and tell Kiki about Vax screaming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's amazing that "it's a perch and it's empty" for Keyleth's Vax tree is heartbreaking enough. "And every day the raven came to visit" –– until this I guess...

Orym, the Savior Blade of the Tempest

Oh wait, did Orym forget to go to Derrig and Will's grave?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They'll do that next episode before teleporting, plus get their clothes and maybe some more shopping.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is a lore heavy episode. While great I feel like I need a rewatch to process all the information.

03:45:00 Matt totally breaks down with the ridiculous fun he's having trolling Sam.

Aww they don't even get to enjoy the party a little bit before the meeting?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

FCG's commune was unexpected. I thought he was going to ask about the sword. Although "Are you worth saving?" is a cool question to ask, I feel like it's a wasted question. Is the god gonna say no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... Are they putting a bag of holding inside the hole? Wouldn't that explode?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, Chetney had the "satchel of holding" from a couple episodes earlier.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I guess they either forgot or decided to ignore that rule. Which is fair cos I think teleporting with people inside the hole is pretty cool.

Kiki is back!
