Previously on Critical Role
"Our fantastic band of adventurers, Vox Machina, have been battling against the Chroma Conclave, a collection of evil, dangerous, chromatic dragons led by Thordak the Cinder King, who has been reigning over their home city of Emon for quite some time, terrorizing the community and apparently slowly undergoing a change based on the elemental stone that is embedded in his body that once locked him in the Plane of Fire.

"[They've] defeated most of the dragons and allied [themselves] with one of the only remaining members: Raishan, the green dragon. [They] have since acquired a number of allies, [they] made [their] way to the Fire Plane, to the City of Brass, [and they] returned to find Fort Daxio under attack. [They] managed to defend it, [they] saved a few friends, returned to Whitestone, and it seems like everything is gearing itself towards the final conflict in Emon with Thordak the Cinder King.

"Last we left off, [they] were meeting underneath Whitestone at the Ziggurat with the current-standing council, the war council of both Whitestone and this entire endeavor. [They] decided a couple people to come with [them] and now is [their] time to spend the next day or so wisely as the army from Fort Daxio and Syngorn will be arriving in Emon by about sundown the following day. [ Captain Damon's] airship was in transit to Daxio and has been rerouted to Emon as well. Everyone is converging to the city."
