In Ruins

is the third episode of the fourth chapter of Critical Role. Vox Machina searches the ruins of Emon for survivors of the Chroma Conclave's attack. With the help of a new friend, they find an old one on death's door.

Synopsis
Lady Allura reveals that there are two bastions of knowledge that might hold insight into what could be the undoing of dragonkind. There were battles of powerful entities before the Penance (the historical wiping of civilization). Some of these books remain in Vasselheim—being the only city to survive those times. A few have found their way into the Cobalt Reserve, a well-fortified the library in Westruun. Lady Allura intended to travel to the Cobalt Reserve to research the spinning anti-magical orb beneath Whitestone, but the Chroma Conclave's assault on Tal'Dorei disrupted her plans.

Trivia
Matt was rolling checks for whether Gilmore would live through the night or until Vox Machina managed to find him, as his situation grew more dire with each passing moment.
