Episode 112: The Assembling of Legends

Bells Hells and the Mighty Nein had teamed up to be the ‘away squad’ to head to Ruidus through the portal that was discovered in Issylra, while the rest of Exandria planned an assault on the Malleus Key (both as a distraction to allow these two groups to go unnoticed to and inside the moon itself before dividing to two different tasks:

  1. The Mighty Nein head into the Arx Creonum and destroy the Weave Mind
  2. Bell’s Hells clamber into the depths and the core of Ruidus itself to stop the Ruby Vanguard and Ludinus from releasing Predathos.)

As you prepped for this journey, traversed to Ruidus and then teleported into the basement of the Jagged Edge Glassworks where Caleb had set up his Nein-sided Tower for an evening’s rest before the final push towards their collaborative missions.
There the groups got to know each other a little better, prepared for the evening with some spells and enchantments that would last them for the coming day, and then eventually, dividing amongst their various chambers to rest for the night, while also discussing what may very well be the last night on Exandria for all of them. With that a night’s rest is had and the morning comes to.
You all begin to rouse from your collective slumber and gather within the main chamber of the Nein-sided Tower.

They rule all the people of this entire space, this realm, with an iron brain. We’ve gotten relatively close maybe a few times. Figure if we can take out like one or two, that’d be great. If we could take em all out, fine. There’s a lot going on and it’s going to be very distracted. With the people leaving, there’s a lot less collateral damage to do something really crazy.”

    • 02:38:08 When we come back from the break, we’re going to rewind a little bit in time to pick up from Vasselheim from the perspective of Keyleth, Vex, Pike, and Grog as they leave to search for the rest of their troop before this assault.

    INTERMISSION

    Meanwhile (a little time before the events we left on Ruidus a moment ago) in Vasselheim…
    after the plot had been set into motion, after Bell’s Hells had gone to stop this meeting of the Unseelie and the Ruby Vanguard, Keyleth, with the knowledge of what her and Vox Machina represented on the coming assault of the Malleus Key, set out to gather the rest of her troop.
    Here in Vasselheim, gathering your thoughts, Keyleth waits until nightfall after all the meetings with the Exandrian alliance beginning to scatter to prepare their forces for a very eminent assault and sets out to see Lady Vex’alia.
    Not too far from the Platinum Sanctuary, a number of these abodes that are both well-guarded and well-furnished. As you head through the interior (torch and magical candle) lit hallways, you come to the outside of her bedchamber and knock on the door.     (Campaign 1 seating arrangements)

    • 02:58:27 Keyleth is worn out from making titles for people
    • 03:00:18 Keyleth:“I think we’re going to have to get the gang back together.”

    • 03:04:45 Scanlan has been unreachable
    • 03:06:00 Vex gives props to Keyleth on the titles
    • 03:09:37 Pike:“Do you have a pie in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”
    • 03:09:44 Peanut butter pies?
    • 03:10:39 Pike:“God dammit!”
    • 03:11:08 Vex:(to Grog who already forgot about the Platinum Sanctuary)“You were there…”
    • 03:11:25 Pike and Scanlan’s love rollercoaster.
    • 03:14:21 Buddies and booze and Janine
    • 03:15:26 Grog:“What do you mean last time?”
    • 03:18:07 The search for Scanlan begins
    • 03:21:05 Vex:“His husband. Um. Greg.” (Mercer’s Revenge #24601 Coming up with names)
    Tary and Greg

    The couple in American Dad are named Terry and Greg

    • 03:22:08 Keyleth:“One pec out. It’s a vibe.”
    • 03:24:20 Robbie revealed as Cerkonos
    • 03:26:43 Fan Art Moment Cerkonos with his spear and giant wrestling belt

    • 03:40:45 Keyleth:“We were drinking.”
    • 03:41:43 Cerkonos:“Always with the sexual joke. I love a good sexual joke.”
    • 03:42:39 Laura receives a message that she can’t stop laughing about.
    • 03:46:48 Grog:“Scholars maintain they’re not sure, but I figured I saw that and I knew you had to have it.”
    • 03:48:50 Percy gives Pike “The Triple” to sober her up.
    • 03:49:17 Cerkonos would not answer a hypothetical booty call from Pike. Matt smiles so much his moustache detaches.
    • 03:50:19 Travis:♪(groovy scat)♪
    • 03:53:18 Pike:“He sounded like he was fuckin’”
    • 03:55:52 Scanlan:“Is this a booty call?”
    • 03:56:41 Percival is a closet Scanlan fan?

        • Emergency kit
      • 04:00:26 Vex:“She behaves so much better for you.”

      • 04:17:29 Vex:“You’re doing spice?”

      I haven’t watched the episode so I missed the fact that VM is back until I saw a YouTube video with a spoiler title. But holy hell I didn’t know Cerkonos is that HOT! ❤️‍🔥

      Did Liam skip that section or did he play a character?

      • UltragrampsOPMEnglish
        2•2 months ago

        Liam was left out to symbolize Vax’s continued imprisonment. There was a joke made about Liam showing up alone as Vax. He comes in, sits down, and screams for a moment. Stand up and leaves, and the rest of the cast comes in.

        [taken from Reddit post]
        Hi! GalacticJonah here, aka the guy who had the honour to draw the new Vox Machina art pieces. First for all, massive thanks to everyone who left nice comments!! I thought people might be interested in some behind the scenes and fun facts so here we go:

        All designs were created by directly corresponding and working with the cast, which was both exciting and scary, lmao. In general that was the vibe of the whole thing because VM are legendary and critters are very passionate, so the pressure to get this right was high.

        Some of the cast went with vibes and story, others with detailed references, but they put a lot of trust in me all the way and I was allowed quite a lot of freedom within the guidelines. I remember Kiki’s design in particular because it was just right from the very start – honestly the biggest thrill for anyone who has ever designed for a client before!!

        The designs pull from many places, so some things are based on pre-existing designs. Legally though they were not allowed to be too similar/copying any Legend of Vox Machina stuff - so that is why some things are very different (see Cerkonos).

        Some more fun bits about the process:

        • Laura requested that Vex and Percy match in their fashion, so I coordinated their colours!
        • There was a whole back and forth whether Scanlan would be an overall small centaur or a small gnome body on a regular horse. As you see, we went with the latter.
        • I gave Vex the gold earcuff. You know why~
        • I ended up giving myself a ‘druid = body piercing’ headcanon because someone once argued that they cannot wear metal way way back when I first drew Kiki with a septum piercing. So that’s why Cerkonos has a nipple ring ✌️
        • Taliesin came up with the suntree pattern on Percy’s coat like that and it rules!!! What a rad idea.
        • Vex’s style was described to me as ‘corporate ranger’!
        • Both our gnomes look older than they teeechnically should, lore wise, on request from the players. I actually was really happy about that - the passage of time is important and it’s beautiful to show it off ❤️
        • The other option for Scanlan’s bumper sticker (lmao) was ‘You Spice?’
        • I worked under my own goal to make all of these designs a bisexuals fucking nightmare so, yeah.

        And that’s all I can think of. Thank you all for liking these ❤️
