Vox Machina - Kith & Kin
Follows Vex'ahlia and Vax'ildan in 807 PD, before they joined Vox Machina. (Not yet released)



Vox Machina Origins Series I
Vex'ahlia, Vax'ildan, Scanlan, Grog, Keyleth and Tiberius cross paths in Stilben as they investigate shady business going on in the town and the neighboring swamp. Together, they take down Iselda, a member of the Myriad.



Vox Machina Origins Series II
The group leaves Stilben in search of Grog, who disappears overnight. They meet Pike and her great-great-grand-father in Westruun and save Grog from a lich, and later meet Percy as they look for components for a ritual to remove a phylactery implanted within Grog's chest.



Vox Machina Origins Series III
After paying off their debt to Drez Vina, Vox Machina enjoy a week in Westruun's lap of luxury. But that costs coin, which has a bad habit of running out. So to keep themselves in the black (and the taverns, and the brothels) they agree to join an underground fighting ring. But before they can bash their way to cash, their attention is snagged by the case of a missing child.



Winter's Crest Festival
Vox Machina attends the Winter's Crest festival in Westruun and enjoys the festivities, until a giant egg hatches and reveals a nude woman who freezes the festival over.



This summary covers the events of the Vox Machina Origins and Winter's Crest Festival comics, albeit with minor differences, and so overlaps with them in the chronology.

In addition to events in other material, this special covers the party's initial meeting with Syldor Vessar in Emon; their adventures within the city's underground river system; their meeting with Allura Vysoren; their encounter with the blue dragon Brimscythe; their fight against the glabrezu controlling the King's family; Pike's death and resurrection; their fight against the Dread Emperor; and the construction of Greyskull Keep.
