Following the fleeing creature off into the dense forests outside the city, they find their prey and a whole lot more.
AD
As Vox Machina completes their journey across the Ozmit Sea, Tiberius and Scanlan engage in a strange math workshop until Kima arrives and prepares the group for the culture shock awaiting them in Othanzia’s capital city of Vasselheim. The airship touches down, and a representative from the Platinum Sanctuary escorts them and the payload, through the chilled streets to the head of their order… High Bearer Vord himself. The task is laid before them: Enter the Hall of the Exalt, an ancient vault below the Sanctuary, exterminate the invading vermin, seal away the Reliquary containing the dreaded Horn of Orcus, and return safely. Easier said than done, as some of the Hall’s defenses are active and the party is forced to traverse a number of deadly traps in hopes of being rid of the evil artifact once and for all! Destiny finds a member of Vox Machina, and they must say goodbye to one of their own for a time.
AD
The party finishes their necessary purchases within the city of Emon in preparation for their journey. With the arrival of the Envoys of Bahamut, and the holy container in which to transport the evil Horn of Orcus, Vox Machina is given permission to embark on a Skyship to cross the Ozmit Sea toward the distant city of Vasselheim. As they traverse the expansive ocean, the ship is suddenly under siege by a band of wyvern and griffin-riding bandits, tossing the deckhands over board to their deaths. The party enters the fray, defending the Skyship, and even taking a prisoner in the process. With the battle over, and the art still safe, the party prepares for their arrival in a strange, foreign land…
AD
After allowing themselves a single night’s rest back in the city of Emon, Vox Machina sets out for their meeting with the Sovereign Uriel and the Council of Tal’Dorei. Once the Council learns of the Horn of Orcus, the gathering quickly descends into squabbling over the fate of the dark artifact. A course of action is eventually decided upon and the party then heads out into the city to gear up for the mission at hand. Everyone knows the best goods in town can always be found at Gilmore’s…
AD
With K’Varn killed, and the dread god Orcus’ machinations put to an end, the party struggles with what to do next. The horn of Orcus hovers in the air, held aloft by Tiberius’ sorcery, and Vox Machina debates whether to stay or flee the heart of Yug’voril. Before a decision can be reached, several Illithid glide into the chamber of the Elder Brain, and the situation quickly turns on its head even further. The immediate threat is eventually dealt with, but the real danger is still coming. Before they are entirely overwhelmed, the party flees the pyramid as a sea of Illithid surge up its sloping walls. Catching up with Tiberius, the rest of Vox Machina scramble as quickly as they can toward the portal the Dragonborn has opened on the far shore they once entered by…
AD

AD
This time around, Vox Machina finds themselves in dire straits. We pick up where we last left off, with the adventurers about to take on a giant of some sort they stumbled upon while scouting. After Vax’ildan is overpowered by it’s dreadful stench, a fight ensues, in which the giant is revealed to be a Fomorian and is quickly subdued. Keyleth places a geas upon their foe, forcing him to fight for them in the battle against K’varn. Everybody then rests, to prepare for their next big test: the assault on K’varn’s temple. Who will survive this grueling battle?
AD
After encountering a menagerie of trouble, Vox Machina looks into a cavern alcove and discovers the veil between planes that K'Varn stepped through to gain entrance to Yug'Voril. Making their way forward, Keyleth performs a Scrying ritual on the being himself, and discovers his true identity...
AD
Vox Machina battles the duergar queen, Ulara, before she can make a thrall of Grog. Keyleth and Lady Kima settle their differences, Vax'ildan encourages the druid that she is not alone, and the party makes their way to the illithid colony of Yug'Voril.
AD
Vox Machina struggles to survive after their battle with the Duergar King and Queen, our heroes broken and battered. Tiberius and Lady Kima turned to stone, and Vax’ildan and Scanlon badly wounded, the party flees the Duergar keep, not knowing where the Sorceress Queen Ulara has stolen off to with their Goliath companion. Realizing how far they’ve pushed themselves, they seek respite in the shadows and thankfully cure their stony friends with the blessings of the goddess, Sarenrae (tenuous though they may be). Relying on Vex’ahlia’s knowledge of the underdark and her knack for tracking her prey, the weary travelers press on into the deep. They come across yet another abomination in the dark, and battle the queer creature in a sea of bone and glass, Percy felling it with a thunderous crash from Bad News. Finally leaving the wretch behind them, they spy a fire twinkling in the distance…
AD
With an uneasy agreement struck between Kima and Clarota, Vox Machina quietly begin a search of Emberhold. Lady Kima means to strike a blow against their unseen enemy by cutting off the head of K’Varn’s military forces. The party battles their way through the fortress, and with the help of some quick thinking from Tiberius, they manage to gain the upper hand against the Duergar King, Murghol, and Ulara, his queen. The dwarven King is defeated, but victory comes at a price…
AD
The party continues to wind its way ever downward, far below Kraghammer. Covering more ground in the endless night of the Underdark, Vox Machina eventually reaches a massive cavern, spires of jagged obsidian stretching out for miles before them. The group quietly passes through the fields of stone, making their way toward the Duergar Fortress, Emberhold, looming in the dim light of the caverns many magma flows. With a little dash of gnomic daring do, the group is able to sneak in through a secret entrance, and at long last find the one they have traveled so far to find: Lady Kima of Vord.
AD
Having successfully slain a dangerous Illithid and its dwarven general, the Vox Machina find themselves surrounded by a small army of Duergar. They once again take to the air, hoping to clear the war camp and travel deeper into the territory of the Mind Flayers. Not quite fast enough, they are attacked mid flight and brought crashing to the ground, within a stone’s throw of the tunnel that will hopefully lead them to Lady Kima. With some quick spell work from Tiberius and Keylith, the group is able to flee further into the bowels of Khaloor and find shelter long enough to heal their wounds. Pressing forward, they quickly realize their path is growing more dangerous with every step into the darkness. Running into a pair of ogres hauling some rather exotic cargo, the Vox Machina quickly find things moving from bad to worse.
AD
The Vox Machina form a tentative alliance with an Illithid outcast named Clarota, deep inside the caverns under Kraghammer. They learn of the creature’s people and their subjugation to a mysterious being known only as Kvarn, as well as the haggard mind flayer’s expulsion from the hive. Now cut off from the Elder Brain, Clarota burns with hatred for this Kvarn, and wishes to free the Illithid race from the usurping entity. In order to do so, the Vox Machina must proceed further into the deep, and reach the center of Clarota’s hive. But in order for the heroes of Emon to reach the Illithid city in the belly of Khaloor, they must get past the first flayer they encountered, as well as its small army of Duergar. The heroes devise a plan, and fly themselves down to the center of the enemey’s war camp, to chance a risky assassination attempt on a creature that could easily break their will with a glance.
AD
Reeling from the loss of Grog's mind, Vox Machina gather their resources to restore 'intelligence' to their barbarian friend. Contining their journey deeper into the underdark, the group stumble upon Duergar and Illithids, finding danger...and potential allies...at every turn.
AD
After Scanlan Shorthalt brought the abomination of a Naga to it’s tortured end, the Vox Machina vowed to Nostoc Greyspine to put an end to the darkness now bubbling up out of the bowls of the earth. The team quickly gears up and makes their way into the mine, and begins a miles long trek down into the veins of Khaloor. After many hours wandering the dark, they reach a subterranean river within a massive, inky cavern where they are are attacked by a pair of umber hulks. The beasts are dispatched without too much difficulty, but in a fit of rage and shortsightedness, Grog charges toward a flickering light further off in the cavern. He stumbles across several Duergar, dark cousins of the dwarves above, as well as a skittering, four legged brain. The wretched thing is killed quickly, but not before lashing out at Grog’s psyche. The Goliath’s mind is broken, and he falls to the ground in a heap.
AD
Our story begins as Vox Machina, the heroes of Emon, arrive at the cavernous underground city of Kraghammer. After wiping out a grave threat to Emon’s emperor, Sovereign Uriel Tal’Dorei III, the band of adventurers has been sent on a journey by Arcanist, Allura Vysoren to find Lady Kima of Vord, a Halfling Paladin of Bahamut, who was drawn to Kraghammer upon learning of a great evil resting beneath it. The party get their bearings in the sprawling, dwarven city, meet a few of its more colorful denizens, and learn that the dwarves have been dealing with unnatural creatures spilling out of the mines in recent months. The mine’s overseer, Nostoc Greyspine, barely finishes explaining their troubles, when a pack of goblins and ogres come spilling out of the mine’s entrance, pursued by something far worse.
