Still, there is a special place in their hearts for the characters who started it all, even if recording in a booth with a script is different from improvising at the table. When it comes to the actual web series, the cast now plays a new set of characters dealing with a new set of threats (though their OGs do make the occasional cameo appearance). “We get to make some elements of combat that sometimes the dice don’t get to make as cool at the table be that much more cinematic and dynamic and exciting for this series,” says Mercer. That’s not the only tweak that comes with showdowns. Now we get to see the dragons’ behind-the-scenes machinations, which make the epic battles all the more exciting. In the show, though, while he does reprise the role of ancient dragon Umbrasyl, the other dragons are voiced by Cree Summers, Lance Reddick, and Liam O’Brien (who is also the player and voice behind half-elf rogue Vax’ildan).

Dungeon Master Matt Mercer was particularly excited to see that aspect of the show come to life, since, as Dungeon Master, he played all the dragons of the Chroma Conclave.

The animated series not only gives the actors a chance to dive into more of their characters’ backstories and explore dynamics that weren’t present at the table, but it also takes the show outside the storytellers’ POV, allowing viewers to see the villains conniving and plotting their own schemes. This season’s third episode, for instance, “The Sunken Tomb” follows the plot points of one of the web series episodes that Johnson couldn’t attend now when a trap triggers in the eerie underwater temple and kills half-elf ranger Vex’ahlia (Laura Bailey), Pike rushes to her side to try and revive her - a moment notably absent from the original run. Thanks to the animated series, the actors were able to rewrite history a bit and bring Pike into the fold for those scenes.

So through flashbacks, and just really great cold opens, we’re able to see kind of a peek behind that curtain.” “So there were a lot of character building and backstory moments that the audience never saw. “ been playing as a group for two and a half years before we decided to take it to the stream,” says Marisha Ray, voice of half-elf druid Keyleth. This time, however, they had a chance to rewrite history and make some tweaks to the way it unfolded the first time around. But with Prime Video’s animated fantasy series, The Legend of Vox Machina, the voice actors return to where it all started, with their first group of misfit mercenaries from the very first campaign.

There is a free DLC including the voice pack voiced by Liam O'Brian and photo of the character from the show.Since the web series kicked off in 2012, actual-play phenomena Critical Role has expanded the world of Exandria, with each subsequent campaign taking place later on in the world’s history. He is a reference to Vax'ildan, the Half Elf Rogue Paladin of Vox Machina from the D&D web series Critical Role. He showed interest in both men and women, specifically Shaun Gilmore, a human sorcerer, and Keyleth, a half-elven druid and fellow member of Vox Machina. Vax was the first one out of the group to kill an illithid in 'Attack on the Duergar Warcamp' (1x04). Vax occasionally mentioned his instructors in Syngorn, one of whom is named Master Tharindriel. He was naturally the sneakiest member of Vox Machina and often scouted ahead for the group when in dangerous situations. Vax was a close-ranged combat fighter and often used a deadly combination of sneak attacks, magical weaponry, items, agility, and various abilities when in combat. At one point, he joined the Westruun sect of The Clasp.įor quite some time, Vax and Vex only truly relied on each other, but eventually the twins found their way to Stilben, where they met individuals that would later join them and become the foundation for the adventuring party Vox Machina.

Vax honed his skills as a rogue, whereas Vex honed her skills as a ranger. They returned to Byroden, only to see their childhood home destroyed and their mother gone. During this time, Vax had received training in the ways of the blade from his elven instructors.Īfter several years of cold reception from the Syngornian elves, the twins set off on their own. The twins lived with Elaina for the first ten years of their life before they were sent to live in Syngorn, where their father lived. Vax, along with Vex, was born in the humble village of Byroden due to the union of a human woman named Elaina and an elven man named Syldor Vessar.
