Previously on Critical Role
"Vox Machina, through their trials and tribulations, had eventually come to realize the machinations of Vecna, who ascended into godhood, transported his city from the Shadowfell of Thar Amphala to the top of a long-dead earth primordial titan, rising it and making its way toward Vasselheim, the Dawn City, the beginning of creation.

"[They] battled [their] way through its innards, up within the arcane dome that protected it. [They] managed to defeat one half of the long, frustrating Briarwood coupling, fought [their] way to the top of the tower, Entropis, did battle with Vecna, the Ascended, and, through careful planning and sacrifices, [they] managed to apply the Trammels, complete the sealing ritual, and send Venca screaming across the Divine Gate, to be sealed to wherever his divine demi-plane resides on the other side.

"As [they] all fell down upon the ruined, floating platforms of the Tower Entropis, [they] glanced over as [their] recent ally, Arkhan the Cruel, proceeded to sever his own hand, attach the Hand of Vecna, and, catching [them] off guard, transport himself beyond [their] current reach."
