Talking Crit

Last week's episode had a little bit of everything.  It had drama, heartbreak, suspense, and a massive amount of comedy.  Vox Machina survived the Kraken, and Keyleth finished her Aramente.  If you think they're winding up some loose story threads, you would be right.  However, we have some new threads being pulled, and Vex pledging to hunt down Orcus if her brother comes back.  That's a mighty quest to take, if it were World of Warcraft, that would be a red quest for sure.  We also saw the first 9th level spell arrive with Shapechange.  The way it was introduced was a cool and interesting way, Matt Mercer came up with something unique to begin introducing epic level spell slots. This episode did a lot. It was another much needed break for the characters, to try and process everything that happened.  Vax died, and the group had to make some tough leadership decisions.  Sometimes a group needs time to unwind and just have fun, and this episode was great for that.  This leads us into our Question of the Week.
