![]() ![]() ![]() Keyleth heals Vax’s wounds and proceeds to have some pretty awkward moments with the twins, including: Vax took a bit of a beating in that fight while a concerned Vex took care of his wounds, a squirrel walked closed to Vax… and waved. That friendly squirrel was everyone’s favorite Druid, Keyleth: The fish-dude was defeated, via a cut throat from Vax. Shark mount was defeated, via an arrow in the eye from Vex. … then explodes out of the water, in the mouth of a giant shark, ridden by a… fish-man? For you World of Warcraft players, the thing on the back of the shark looks like a cross between a Naga and a Murloc! Vax notices that the swamp is saltwater, prompting Vex to yell for him to get out of the wa – Someone (not revealed immediately) is paying them for this mission. They are there to solve the mystery of the “cursed” swamp (Vax believes in the curse, Vex is very skeptical). Their home is Stilben, on the coast of Tal’Dorel.Īs they track the couple, we get a glimpse into the relationship of Vex and Vax, as well as their reasons for being there, mainly through their squabbling. Vax, not happy being out in the open after that incident (and I don’t blame him!), revealed that the 2 people with the woman were her parents he wants to talk to them, Vex wants to track them back to their home, first. I thought that that tree pictured above ate the baby instead, that’s where Vex and Vax were hiding, watching the whole incident take place. Before she can get a word in edge-wise, the baby is yanked from her arms (while her husband – I think – restrains her) and thrown in the swamp, where a pair of hands emerge from the murky waters and grab it and pull it under! What a “start” to the story! An old woman is standing over her shoulder, yelling that her baby is most certainly not fine – “it’s cursed, just like all the others”. We meet Vex (a Ranger) and Vax (a Rogue) for the first time in a desolate swamp before we actually see them, we look in on a woman, nursing a sick, almost drugged-looking baby. This issue focuses on 2 of the members: the Half-Elven twins, Vex’alia (“Vex”) and her brother, Vax’ildan (“Vax”). ![]() Those words begin the 6-issue story of how Vox Machina met and formed, before becoming the world-saving force of Critical Role’s First Season. Here is a recap of Issue #1… after the break. The comics were written in response to the skyrocketing popularity of Critical Role. They pick up before the story of “Vox Machina” made the airways. Go to Geek & Sundry, YouTube, and/or Podbeam to listen to/watch the story unfold – it’s been wonderful, so far! In Season 1, they tell the tale of the adventuring group, “Vox Machina”. It is “a bunch of nerdy voice actors, sitting around, playing Dungeons & Dragons“. The web comics I bought are based on Critical Role, a podcast that I’ve been listening to for a few months. I bought some comics again – this is a rare occurrence for me (it’s only happened 4 or 5 times in my life, and not for at least 4 years)! ![]()
