Overview:
Thordak has fallen – though the price paid was steep. In the aftermath, Raishan absconds with Thordak’s corpse. Vox Machina doesn’t know her plan, but it can’t be good. Fractured, they scatter on their own personal quests: vengeance, solace, and knowledge.
At sea, the twins fight for their lives against Ripley. Keyleth undergoes a dangerous earth ritual to locate Raishan, one that could cost her life. Pike and Grog’s quest is no less perilous, as they struggle to convince Kaylie to help save Scanlan.
Merging her soul with a red dragon corpse, Raishan becomes an unkillable, undead monstrosity. She battles Vox Machina in her lair, trying to erase them before they can foil her plans.
Our Take:
The Legend of Vox Machina has already been renewed for a fourth season. That’s good news and all, and full disclosure I haven’t watched all of the stream for the campaign but this feels like it was a good ending point. I’m sure I’m wrong and we got a lot more to go but Thordak and Raishan lay defeated, Percy has been brought back to life, and the group is doing their own thing at the moment. Maybe it’s because I have a feeling that there is more heartbreak around the corner and I’d rather not experience it but I also want to see more from these characters so it’s quite the predicament.
Almost all of the characters have shown a lot of growth, except for Vax. Don’t get me wrong he’s grown as well but he still puts his happiness on the backburner for everyone else. He will do anything if it means his sister will be happy especially. I can’t quite tell if he’s a zombie or something now or that’s just a peek into his future but a happy ending for Vax doesn’t seem likely.
I have no idea what is in store for this group in the fourth season. Don’t get me wrong I love this show and would love it to continue as long as possible but I just don’t want it to stay past it’s prime. Luckily I don’t think that is very likely because this show is clearly loved by everyone involved and they will handle it with great care.
