In every good adventure story, there’s a moment when a band of heroes is torn apart and they have to find their way back to each other. This can be as simple as Grogu flying to Nal Hutta with the Anzellans or the Scooby-Doo gang inevitably deciding that splitting up is a good idea, but there’s usually some sort of event that makes the heroes remember why they’re a team.
In the Critical Role animated series The Legend of Vox Machina, this moment happened after Season 3. Scanlan (Sam Riegel) decided he was tired of adventuring and just wanted to be a rock star with his daughter, and the rest of the group split off into pairs. When we open on Season 4, everyone is living it up outside of the questing life. Vex and Percy (Laura Bailey and Taliesin Jaffe) are adjusting to life as nobles, Vax and Keyleth (Liam O’Brien and Marisha Ray) are pursuing Keyleth’s destiny to be the Voice of the Tempest, and Pike and Grog (Ashley Johnson and Travis Willingham) are hanging out and getting into bar fights.
