Going back to music chat does anyone know the source/name of this track? (Spoilers for the recent Vox Machina one shot)

Does anyone know where the music that's playing here is from? It's right after the break, for those avoiding spoilers.

How did Ukatoa/Avantika even know the orb was in the Amber Vault? It all points to someone keeping a close eye on them and we know Caleb can’t be scryed on.

I assume Uka'toa is aware of Fjord when at sea, and in the last ep Avantika was using some sort of magical device to scan and locate the orb at closer range. They waved it around and pointed it at the Amber Vault and it got dispelled. I think.

These are all great, but I'd add that there's a 3rd Honey Heist:

50 minutes for the payoff to something great that's been building up since episode 1 or 2 seems about the right amount of time to me. Ashley and Marisha were awesome, it was a really touching.

I didn't get a cringy vibe at all. The introvert coming out of her shell to the person she loves, after finally getting over the grief of being a widow, was endearing.

I am the one who used the word cringey first and also a nervous bisexual. Relatable is the bedrock of cringe. Unfortunately the word has a lot of bullshit associated with it from reddit.

What I meant was is that I could see myself on that date being either one of them as I cycle through being the one who chooses words extremely carefully and the one that blurts stuff out. But Yasha takes 10 minutes to say things with a lot of ums and ahs sometimes and that can be boring.

That's not how I thought you meant "cringe", that makes a lot of sense.

It's not awkward by default, really. It's D&D, wherein DMs portray characters of all backgrounds all the time, it's not like it's automatically disrespectful.

Other than the general chaotic energy of the party (which is great) kind of veiling how portentous or not the events in the game are, I think this is also down to none of the NPCs coming across as very serious. There's lots of whimsy going on where it doesn't necessarily feel well placed.

I think the only thing that I really disliked about the campaign (and which will make me sound old and crotchety), was the way some NPCs all spoke like, for want of a better term, millennials. I know this is probably not an accurate description and anyone feel free to offer a better way to express it, but I just found it very jarring sometimes.

Truthfully, I don’t really care about the commercial impact on small scale merchandisers all that much. To me, the problem is that CR is a company that was grown on the back of fandom art creations, to the point that they broadcast 30+ minutes of newly created art every week.

No it wasn't, it was built on the back of their D&D game which they live stream and which people love. Showing fanart is being nice and appreciating people who appreciate you, which makes those people love you more, that's not the same thing (though it obviously helps).

Starting at level 8 or so would be pretty sweet. I don't mind the 3 out of 4 week rotation at all, I just don't want them to tinker with the main campaign format too much. I need my comfort food.

I wish they would have reevaluated the start time of their broadcasts since they're sticking with pre-recorded. Even an hour earlier would make it so much easier for typical work schedule east coasters to watch at least until the break each episode.

20:00 instead of 21:00 on Mondays would be nice, yeah.
