1. Long ago,
in another realm
Copy !req
2. stood the majestic kingdom
of Tal'Dorei.
Copy !req
3. Once the battlefield
of gods and titans,
Copy !req
4. its lands now harbor magic,
wonder and mystery.
Copy !req
5. It was a time of peace...
Copy !req
6. until a great evil arrived.
Copy !req
7. A brave group of heroes
banded together,
Copy !req
8. ready to face this evil.
Copy !req
9. Hold fast. The beast approaches.
Copy !req
10. - What the fuck?
Copy !req
11. You shall pay for y...
Copy !req
12. - Holy sh...
Copy !req
13. Humanity will never fall to y...
Copy !req
14. Well,
that was... something.
Copy !req
15. Fuck!
Copy !req
16. All of our mercenaries
slaughtered like lambs.
Copy !req
17. I state my case again,
Sovereign Uriel:
Copy !req
18. send our army to challenge
whatever this fiend is
Copy !req
19. before it decimates
the entire kingdom.
Copy !req
20. Perhaps
we have been ill-advised
Copy !req
21. in our strategy, sire.
Copy !req
22. I propose we attempt
to capture the beast
Copy !req
23. and use it as a weapon
against our enemies.
Copy !req
24. I must object, Sir Fince.
Copy !req
25. We don't even know
what the creature is.
Copy !req
26. Demon? Elemental?
Copy !req
27. And how do you propose
we capture it?
Copy !req
28. Lady Allura is right.
Copy !req
29. - But sire...
- I will not send
our remaining army
Copy !req
30. beyond the city walls until we
know who or what our enemy is.
Copy !req
31. We must find more mercenaries.
Copy !req
32. And where, might I ask?
Copy !req
33. The Torian Butchers
are butchered,
Copy !req
34. the Murder Hobos murdered,
the Death Dealers are all dead.
Copy !req
35. - Then find someone worthy!
Copy !req
36. Do not rest until you bring me
Copy !req
37. the greatest band of mercenaries
in all of Tal'Dorei.
Copy !req
38. Chug,
chug, chug!
Copy !req
39. Chug! Chug! Chug!
Copy !req
40. - Yeah!
Copy !req
41. That's right! Who's the best?
Copy !req
42. Yeah!
Copy !req
43. Grog wins. Again.
Copy !req
44. Fuck me.
Copy !req
45. Why do we always play
drinking games
Copy !req
46. with a guy twice our size?
Copy !req
47. Because it's the fastest way
to get drunk, obviously.
Copy !req
48. Who's drunk?
Copy !req
49. Not me. I'm great.
Copy !req
50. I think we should
go to another...
Copy !req
51. another...
Copy !req
52. Didn't you only have one ale?
Copy !req
53. Oh. So chunky.
Copy !req
54. Watch it, bitch.
Copy !req
55. Hey. You watch it, dicknose.
Copy !req
56. Easy, Grog.
Copy !req
57. We don't waste our time
on talking assholes, remember?
Copy !req
58. - Hmm.
- Oi, tavern keep.
Copy !req
59. Another round for Vox Machina,
Copy !req
60. the greatest band of mercenaries
in all the realm.
Copy !req
61. The greatest?
Copy !req
62. I heard you couldn't even rescue
a cow from a burning barn.
Copy !req
63. "Vox Machina."
What a fucking joke.
Copy !req
64. Let's keep things civil,
friend.
Copy !req
65. We're not looking for trouble.
Copy !req
66. - Oh, I'll bet you ain't.
Copy !req
67. Everyone knows you're a bunch
of pathetic losers
Copy !req
68. who can't get a fucking job.
Copy !req
69. Look at your scrawny ass.
Copy !req
70. Too weak to tickle
your own pickle.
Copy !req
71. Are you offering to help?
Copy !req
72. Yeah. U-Uh, well, no.
I... fuck you!
Copy !req
73. Oh, I'm only asking you
to give me a hand.
Copy !req
74. You know, Vax,
I think he's willing.
Copy !req
75. Ooh, can I keep this?
Copy !req
76. Don't just stand there
gawking, louts.
Copy !req
77. Kill them!
Copy !req
78. I had him.
Copy !req
79. - Hmm.
Copy !req
80. - I'm coming, Percy!
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
81. Oops.
Copy !req
82. Pike, love, can you try to stay
out of the way?
Copy !req
83. Hey, come on.
You tripped over me.
Copy !req
84. I'll take that.
Copy !req
85. Not bad, brother.
Copy !req
86. Why does this happen every time
we go out drinking?
Copy !req
87. Good boy, Trinket.
Copy !req
88. Over here.
Copy !req
89. Grog, step aside.
Copy !req
90. Oh, bollocks.
Copy !req
91. Where the hell is Scanlan?
Copy !req
92. - For goodness' sakes.
Copy !req
93. Percy, the hell, man?
Copy !req
94. If you want to join in,
you got to ask first.
Copy !req
95. Scanlan, I should've known.
Copy !req
96. Could you put on some pants
and help us?
Copy !req
97. You got to be shitting me.
Copy !req
98. Stop!
Copy !req
99. First, you people drink me dry,
Copy !req
100. then you destroy my tavern.
Copy !req
101. And-and what is that gnome
doing with my daughter?
Copy !req
102. - Mmm...
Copy !req
103. It's probably best
you don't know.
Copy !req
104. Who's paying for all this?
Copy !req
105. Goodness, such a mess.
Absolutely dreadful.
Copy !req
106. But I can assure you, darling,
Copy !req
107. Vox Machina will find
those responsible...
Copy !req
108. Uh-uh, don't even try it.
Copy !req
109. Money, now.
Copy !req
110. Well, you see...
Copy !req
111. We don't exactly have any money
on us, per se,
Copy !req
112. but if you give me five...
Copy !req
113. Uh, hello? Yes, excuse me.
Copy !req
114. Ah.
Copy !req
115. Thank you, much appreciated.
Copy !req
116. And stay out!
Copy !req
117. Does this mean
we're officially banned
Copy !req
118. from every tavern in Emon?
Copy !req
119. Wonderful.
Copy !req
120. We've got no money,
no place to live
Copy !req
121. and fuck all for prospects.
Copy !req
122. Well, perhaps if someone
didn't accidentally decapitate
Copy !req
123. the last fellow who hired us.
Copy !req
124. Well, I apologized, didn't I?
Copy !req
125. We have a mountain of debts
and— oh, good—
Copy !req
126. three silver to our name.
Copy !req
127. We need a job.
Anything, at this point.
Copy !req
128. I mean, if protecting carts
from swindlers
Copy !req
129. and killing goblins for gold
isn't getting us anywhere,
Copy !req
130. I don't know, maybe...
Copy !req
131. maybe we could try
doing some good this time?
Copy !req
132. - Nah...
- Boring.
Copy !req
133. Pike, ethics are a luxury
Copy !req
134. we currently can't afford.
Copy !req
135. Have you guys ever thought
Copy !req
136. maybe we're not really meant
to do this?
Copy !req
137. I mean, Vex and Vax
Copy !req
138. - only care about themselves.
- Well, fuck you.
Copy !req
139. - Grog just
wants to murder everyone.
- Yeah, pretty much.
Copy !req
140. Percy barely wants
to be seen with us in public,
Copy !req
141. - and Scanlan wants...
- To bed everyone in the realm.
Copy !req
142. Yes, you can say it, Keyleth.
I'm not ashamed.
Copy !req
143. Honestly,
why are we even together?
Copy !req
144. Well, while you're all
moping around,
Copy !req
145. I have to drain
the proverbial basilisk.
Copy !req
146. Hmm?
Copy !req
147. - Oh... Oh, apologies.
Copy !req
148. - It has a mind
of its own sometimes.
Copy !req
149. What's the matter with you?
Copy !req
150. - Come on.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
151. This!
Copy !req
152. This is our purpose.
Copy !req
153. Fighting for justice, for glory,
Copy !req
154. protecting the kingdom
and stuff.
Copy !req
155. And most importantly—
Copy !req
156. lots of money!
Copy !req
157. We're really gonna see
the sovereign
Copy !req
158. looking like this?
Copy !req
159. Halt.
Copy !req
160. Okay, we'll take you in,
but the bear waits outside.
Copy !req
161. It's okay, buddy.
We'll be back soon.
Copy !req
162. Lady Kima,
it is imperative
Copy !req
163. Lord and Lady Briarwood join us.
Copy !req
164. - Sire, Whitestone hasn't
been heard from in months.
- Excuse me?
Copy !req
165. - Our last messenger
never returned.
- Excuse me?
Copy !req
166. They must be
warned of these attacks.
Copy !req
167. - Send another guardsman
straight away.
Copy !req
168. I'm sorry, who the hell are you?
Copy !req
169. Vox Machina. You see,
Copy !req
170. it's actually a somewhat clever
play on words...
Copy !req
171. Honestly, we don't care.
Copy !req
172. Sire, I warned you
Copy !req
173. the notices would attract
the scum of Emon.
Copy !req
174. Excuse you?
Copy !req
175. I think Sir Fince
means a foe this deadly
Copy !req
176. - requires more seasoned...
- Krieg, don't bother
Copy !req
177. with these drunken buffoons.
Copy !req
178. Guards?
Copy !req
179. Buffoons?
Clearly you've never heard
Copy !req
180. of the Legend of Vox Machina.
Copy !req
181. Allow me to give you
a proper introduction.
Copy !req
182. Oh, gods, here we go.
Copy !req
183. - He's Vax.
- She's Vex.
Copy !req
184. - Oh. Uh, sorry.
Copy !req
185. - Uh, thank you very much.
Copy !req
186. - Oh.
- Mm, okay. Uh...
Copy !req
187. - Uh...
- Give the council a moment
Copy !req
188. to discuss your curious group.
Copy !req
189. You can't be seriously
considering them
Copy !req
190. for such a crucial task.
Copy !req
191. Sovereign, their reputation
is less than stellar.
Copy !req
192. Well, they do have a bear.
Copy !req
193. It looked quite ferocious.
And the song was entertaining.
Copy !req
194. Why not give them a chance?
Copy !req
195. Perhaps there is more
than meets the eye
Copy !req
196. with these warriors.
Copy !req
197. - Eh?
Copy !req
198. Yeah, doubt it.
Copy !req
199. Let's just call in
Agar's Assassins again.
Copy !req
200. Uh, Agar apparently had his hand
chopped off in a barroom brawl.
Copy !req
201. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
202. Very well.
Copy !req
203. You're hired, Vox Machina.
Copy !req
204. Mainly because I like the bear.
Copy !req
205. Lady Allura will accompany you
to the Shale Steps,
Copy !req
206. the village closest
to the last attack.
Copy !req
207. So, what exactly are we killing,
Copy !req
208. and how much are we making?
Copy !req
209. We don't know
what you're killing,
Copy !req
210. but once you kill it,
all this is yours.
Copy !req
211. Uh, one more question.
Copy !req
212. Yeah, how are we supposed
to get there?
Copy !req
213. Brother,
I am telling you I felt it,
Copy !req
214. right there in the throne room.
Copy !req
215. I haven't felt that since...
Copy !req
216. Isn't this ship amazing?
Copy !req
217. There's two bathrooms
downstairs.
Copy !req
218. Hey, by the way,
why are you both whispering
Copy !req
219. - like we can't hear you?
- Can you mind your business
for once, gnome?
Copy !req
220. As you can see,
the creature has already razed
Copy !req
221. three villages
and miles of farmland.
Copy !req
222. If this evil persists,
Copy !req
223. the kingdom
will starve to death.
Copy !req
224. This mission sounds
kind of deadly.
Copy !req
225. - Do we really want to do this?
- Yes, this task
Copy !req
226. is dangerous, which is why
only the most noble, heroic
Copy !req
227. - and true...
- Yeah, yeah,
nobility and heroism
Copy !req
228. is fine and all, but we're
in this for the money.
Copy !req
229. I see. So it's coin
over character.
Copy !req
230. Not surprising.
Copy !req
231. The Shale Steps are beyond
that hill. Good luck.
Copy !req
232. Please don't, oh,
fuck this up, as they say.
Copy !req
233. Thanks for the sweet ride.
Copy !req
234. You'll be back to pick us
up later, right?
Copy !req
235. Yeah, she'll be back.
Copy !req
236. What we doing here again?
Copy !req
237. The last attack
was just south of here.
Copy !req
238. We're gonna ask around,
see if anyone knows anything.
Copy !req
239. Ask around.
Copy !req
240. Excuse me,
green friends.
Copy !req
241. Have you seen any evil wizards
or giant monsters
Copy !req
242. passing through here?
Copy !req
243. - Uh...
- That's kind of weird.
Copy !req
244. Nah,
it was too foggy.
Copy !req
245. All we saw was dark clouds,
lightning.
Copy !req
246. We thought it was a storm.
Copy !req
247. Oh, you didn't see
anything, huh?
Copy !req
248. How convenient, Mr. Fisherman,
if that is your real name.
Copy !req
249. - Whoa...
- Okay, maybe let me
handle the questioning, Scanlan.
Copy !req
250. I'm sorry about him.
Copy !req
251. You're a priest
of sorts, aren't you?
Copy !req
252. Could you bless our house?
Copy !req
253. - Protect it from this evil?
- Uh...
Copy !req
254. A-A blessing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Copy !req
255. Uh, no problem.
Copy !req
256. Okay, here goes.
Copy !req
257. May the Everlight
shine upon your home.
Copy !req
258. Everything will be tip-top.
Copy !req
259. Okay. I'm sure you'll survive
these trying times,
Copy !req
260. so, good luck?
Copy !req
261. Are you sure
you're a holy person?
Copy !req
262. Yeah, I'm-I'm just,
uh, out of practice.
Copy !req
263. I don't really bless
a lot of houses these days.
Copy !req
264. Thank you, dear.
Copy !req
265. I'm sure it'll be enough
to keep our family safe.
Copy !req
266. Wow.
Copy !req
267. - Are you a wizard?
Copy !req
268. Nah. The magic's all
in the fingers, kid.
Copy !req
269. Wow.
Copy !req
270. And now it's in yours.
Copy !req
271. Whoa.
Copy !req
272. That's real silver.
Keep it safe.
Copy !req
273. There's a monster roaming about.
Copy !req
274. - You mean flying.
- What's that?
Copy !req
275. Something flew right over us.
Copy !req
276. It knocked down
the big tree on the hill.
Copy !req
277. We heard wings beating but
we couldn't see it in the storm.
Copy !req
278. But it was big. Really big.
Copy !req
279. Yeah.
Copy !req
280. Get over here.
Copy !req
281. - Trinket found something.
Copy !req
282. The tracks are too muddy
to discern.
Copy !req
283. But it looks like
it took to the air
Copy !req
284. and flew along the coast.
Copy !req
285. - Whoa.
Copy !req
286. Think you'll be needing this.
Copy !req
287. Ah.
Copy !req
288. Now they look...
Copy !req
289. human?
Copy !req
290. It's close.
Copy !req
291. Everyone, get ready.
Copy !req
292. Get the fuck out.
Copy !req
293. What, a little lamb
was behind all the mayhem?
Copy !req
294. Oh, don't let that thing
bite you, Vex.
Copy !req
295. Oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck.
Copy !req
296. Fuck!
Copy !req
297. - I suggest we run. Right now!
- Fuck that.
Copy !req
298. We fight!
Copy !req
299. Grog, you dumb, brave asshole!
Copy !req
300. Grog's down already?
Come on!
Copy !req
301. Keyleth!
A little magic might help.
Copy !req
302. - We're in serious trouble here.
Copy !req
303. Keyleth, snap out of it.
Keyleth!
Copy !req
304. - Keyleth!
- Sorry. Um...
Copy !req
305. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
306. Did I just make it worse?
Copy !req
307. - Look out!
Copy !req
308. Uh, get me out.
Get-get me out!
Copy !req
309. I'm trapped under Grog's ass!
Copy !req
310. So...
Copy !req
311. this is what rock bottom
feels like.
Copy !req
312. At least we're still alive,
Copy !req
313. thank the Everlight.
Copy !req
314. And thanks to Keyleth
for the giant shrub.
Copy !req
315. But did you have to make it
so thorny?
Copy !req
316. That dragon.
We almost... died.
Copy !req
317. Except we didn't die.
Because of you, Keyleth.
Copy !req
318. You hear me?
Copy !req
319. We're alive because of you.
Copy !req
320. - Grog. You're hurt.
- Nah.
Copy !req
321. Just a flesh wound. No big.
Copy !req
322. Is this normal?
Copy !req
323. - Oh, no.
- Holy shit.
- I'm gonna throw up.
Copy !req
324. Hold still, old friend.
Copy !req
325. I got you.
Copy !req
326. Oh, I feel better already.
Copy !req
327. Thanks, Pike. You're the best.
Copy !req
328. That... took a lot out of me.
Copy !req
329. - I got you.
- Oh.
Copy !req
330. Uh, thanks.
Copy !req
331. Oh, uh, you can put me down now.
Copy !req
332. Oh. Yeah.
Copy !req
333. Uh... yeah.
Copy !req
334. All right,
fuck Uriel and all of this,
Copy !req
335. we're done here.
Copy !req
336. We didn't sign up
for certain death.
Copy !req
337. Must I remind you
we gave our word to the council?
Copy !req
338. That should probably
mean something.
Copy !req
339. Oh, who gives a soggy anus
about the council?
Copy !req
340. The only word I care about
is "Scanlan Shorthalt."
Copy !req
341. And yes,
I know that's two words,
Copy !req
342. but you know what I'm saying.
Copy !req
343. Yeah. What have those
fuckity-fucks ever done for us?
Copy !req
344. Except give us a job
and a bunch of gold
Copy !req
345. and treasure and stuff?
Copy !req
346. We've fought a lot of things...
Copy !req
347. but a dragon?
Copy !req
348. An actual dragon?
Copy !req
349. It's not about the council,
Copy !req
350. or the contract...
it's about these people.
Copy !req
351. They need us.
Copy !req
352. We can't just run away.
Copy !req
353. This is why I hate traveling
with holy people.
Copy !req
354. - They're too goddamned good.
- Pike...
Copy !req
355. this creature is beyond us.
Copy !req
356. When Vex and I were young,
Copy !req
357. one of those monsters
killed our mother.
Copy !req
358. I've studied dragons
my entire life, hoping to find
Copy !req
359. the one that did it.
Copy !req
360. I can...
Copy !req
361. feel when they're close.
Copy !req
362. A horrid pain in my head.
Copy !req
363. Then it's settled.
Copy !req
364. We'll go back to the palace
and get out of the contract.
Copy !req
365. You don't understand, Percy.
Copy !req
366. I felt it there, too,
at the palace.
Copy !req
367. Y-You're just
telling us this now?
Copy !req
368. I'm sorry. I...
Copy !req
369. I wasn't certain
until the dragon...
Copy !req
370. It's been years since Mother...
Copy !req
371. Are you sure, Vex'ahlia?
Copy !req
372. I know what I felt.
Someone on the council
Copy !req
373. must have been in contact
with the dragon, or...
Copy !req
374. I don't know,
but I-I'm sure it was real.
Copy !req
375. Then we walk away
from all of this.
Copy !req
376. It's not worth it.
You heard her.
Copy !req
377. One of them might be working
with that monster.
Copy !req
378. Let's just get
the hell out of here
Copy !req
379. and never set foot
in Emon again.
Copy !req
380. Can we all agree on that?
Copy !req
381. Oh, no.
Copy !req
382. They wiped them out,
all of them.
Copy !req
383. Pike! Get over here!
Copy !req
384. Please, Everlight,
Copy !req
385. let your power reach him.
Copy !req
386. Pike. Please.
Copy !req
387. Shit!
Copy !req
388. No. I can't do it.
Copy !req
389. I'm still too weak from before.
Copy !req
390. We could have stopped this.
Copy !req
391. Should have.
Copy !req
392. What the hell
