Episode 113: Assault on the Malleus Key
Bell’s Hells and the Mighty Nein had traversed through the hidden portal to Ruidus, had gone to the depths of the Ruidian capital city of Kreviris and made contact with the remnants of the Volition, set themselves up, prepared for the assault on the Malleus Key to commence and be the distraction they need to divide and hit their targets within the red moon.
As they gave message, we cut to a short time before this where the members of Vox Machina present in Vasselheim begin to collect the rest of their allies so they can be part of the spearhead of this attack on the Malleus Key and the fortress that has risen from the surrounding dust of the Tishtan Site in the Hellcatch.
As you went to Whitestone and gathered Percival de Rolo, Cerkonos the Flamespeaker from Pyrah had joined you from Vasselheim, and the one member you had a hard time locating for quite some time seemed to be on a trek in Wildemount.
Upon catching up with Scanlan Shorthalt himself and his troupe of traveling midlife crises (transformed into purple centaurs) were making their “leather jacket road trip” across that distant continent before you let him know that you needed his help once more. Upon him decidin to join, you all had a group hug as he mentioned that he had to tell the other guys and let them know what’s going on.
So here in the darkened, star-filled night in the Barbed Fields of the exterior range of Bazzoxan in the plains of Xhorhas, the Wastes, you disengage from your group hug and Scanlan (lower horse body and tail) the rest of your friends await you to join their band not far from where you currently converse.

Highlights
Keyleth:“This is getting heated over horseshit.”
grand-cub fanfic
Knowing that a spot in this year’s Grey Hunt would be passed on, the grand-cubs had been on their best behavior. All turning into brave guardians scanning for danger and honing their abilities.
In “bear language”, the cubs had simple, elemental names. In some cases those names would correspond with the “fur patterns” of the humans they knew best. For example: A black cub named Feathers (for Vax), a larger cub simply named Boulder (after Grog), a light grey cub named Storm (you’d think it was for the fur pattern, but no, Storm is the Husky (dog breed) of bears and Very Vocal, so the namesake is from Percy’s loud guns)…
Other potential names: Wind (Kiki) Bird (Scanlan), Shiny (Pike)
Percy:“I’m gonna end up in there. Don’t think I don’t know that.”
Vex:“Don’t think I haven’t thought about it.”
Marisha:“That is a Black Mirror episode.”
Fuck shit up!
Laura:“Are you gonna barf?”
Travis:“I went too hard.”
Taliesin:“Anyone else feeling like delighting themselves with an olfactory experience?”
Ashley:“I kinda want a little bit to know…”
Matt:(announcer voice)“Tragedy struck in Los Angeles this past week, as…”
Laura:“Hot Boi Numba Two!”
Allura grasps her hands around and you see her fingers seem to grab the air, like it’s some sort of a molasses, leaving dark streaks of color behind as she swirls her arms around. Gathering it like clay, and then thrusts it into the air. You watch as the streak of dark light rises into the sky and suddenly gives off this burst of bright green color…The symbol of war has been triggered.

-ed“Welcome to the Key Breaker. I hope you’re comfy. We’re about to go ahead and return to the place where I crashed my last ship to victory!”
Vex:“You can dodge that, right Xandis?”
Xandis:“I can certainly try!”

INTERMISSION
Because of the midair rescue, the team lands slightly off course from the Malleus Key. Pike and Grog land first nearest to a weaponized dispelling tower and the rest of the team glide towards them into battle.
Robbie:“You shut the fuck up.”
