Vorugal (episode)


 * For the ancient white dragon, see Vorugal (character).

is the second episode of the sixth chapter of Critical Role. Vox Machina enacts their riskiest plan yet: summon a goristro from the Abyss to fight Vorugal and hope for the two giant creatures to kill each other. If they succeed, another member of the Chroma Conclave will fall and another Vestige will be retrieved. But if any step in their plan fails, it could have dire consequences, especially with another dragon waiting in the wings...

Previously on Critical Role
"Vox Machina, in their journey to destroy the Chroma Conclave—a gathering of chromatic dragons that have just torn through the Tal'Dorei countryside and taken up residence and calling it their domain—they have defeated Umbrasyl and they have their sights set on the next series of dragons. In the process of setting up a timeline in which they had to bait the white dragon, Vorugal, in the ravine outside of the ruins of Draconia, hopefully to jump on and destroy the dragon.

"They were approached in Whitestone by an individual that was apparently not Seeker Assum, an ally of theirs from long ago. Instead it was one of the dragons of the Conclave: Raishan, the green dragon, who had come to parlay and actually offer an alliance, seemingly unhappy with the current set of rules and lack of interest from Thordak in making up his side of the bargain which was struck.

"Raishan has asked for Vox Machina's aid in destroying the swollen, dangerous red dragon. The party asked, as a showing of faith, to have Raishan come with them to the ruins of Draconia, gather the Ravenites, and destroy Vorugal alongside them.

"As such, they gathered Lady Kima as an ally in this endeavor. They transported themselves to the snow- and ice-covered ravine and just now have taken up in Scanlan's Magnificent Mansion and are laying down for an evening's rest."
