It certainly looks like we’ll get a lot more content out of the Chroma Conclave with two seasons, instead of trying to condense it all into one. That doesn’t even include other cities they travel to in Tal’Dorei itself. Surely, the hardest locations they’ll have to design will be those in different realms: if all goes according to the web series, we’ll see the fire plane twice, both in the Aramenté and later on, but we’ll also see the Feywild, as the elven city Syngorn has hidden itself there to hide from the dragons. However, other intercontinental trips, like the trip to Marquet to speak to the leader in Ank'Harel, unfortunately don't help much in fighting the conclave and probably won't be adapted from Critical Role. Chances are, we’ll be traveling overseas to the continent of Issylra, as both Keyleth and Vax have important stories in and around the religious city of Vasselheim. One of the biggest things about the Chroma Conclave arc is just how much traveling Vox Machina does, meaning there are a lot of new cities, locations, and even realms that need to be designed in order to bring them to life on the screen. That alone is a lot, not to mention the overarching dragon story, so it’s almost certain we’ll see these things split up over both seasons. Even Percy might have some more character issues, because after fighting his literal demons, Anna Ripley still got away, something that is definitely going to come back to haunt them. Vax also has a new challenge to face, as he won’t only be a rogue anymore, but soon will also be taking a few levels in paladin. The twins, Vex and Vax, also have a tense family reunion, one that people think was hinted at with concept art for season two of Vox Machina released at NYCC. Grog also has a lot of personal stories, from the strange sword he picked up after defeating the Briarwoods to meeting familiar faces of his past, something we’ll surely get to see soon. However, another story they missed was discovering Scanlan’s daughter, something that might be difficult to include without completely rewriting it. Though they didn't adapt Keyleth’s Aramenté to the Fire Ashari in season one, it’s already hinted we’ll see it soon. There are plenty of key character moments for almost everyone in the next arc that will be interesting to see if they come to fruition or not. Too many deaths and resurrections at once might make the very difficult and rare magic seem too easy, so they might have to pick and choose, or show us more near deaths instead like Keyleth in season one. One of the biggest issues they may face is how many character deaths and resurrections happened throughout the next arc, some of them being rather important to the story. With the four dragons now coming to attack Emon, many battles for the ages will have to take place, but the team in The Legend of Vox Machina will also need some upgraded gear if they have any hopes of saving the continent.

This comes as a relief to many fans, as there are a lot of important story beats to hit in the next arc, not only related to the Chroma Conclave, but to specific characters and their development as well. It was confirmed by the cast themselves on Twitter that the next story arc will take two seasons to complete. So, in order to help speed things along but still see beloved NPCs like Gilmore, we only see them in the shop for a few moments to help further the plot in order to avoid an episode that doesn’t do much. An entire TV episode just about exploring the interior of Gilmore’s Glorious Goods and haggling prices would probably make people leave without enjoying any action or story. This means that entire sessions might essentially be spent shopping, as players try to discover where shops are, what they might be selling, and maybe even haggle the price down into something they can more easily afford.Ĭritical Role is no different, often taking entire sessions to shop, craft new items, and plan or prepare for what’s coming ahead. Keeping a party well stocked with the best weapons, armors, and potions they can afford is necessary as they progress into more and more dangerous, monster-filled D&D adventures. Every D&D campaign is bound to have a lot of extra time in them, whether for necessary purposes or just because the players don’t find the next quest hook right away.
