If I remember right Voragul is Liam. I think they said something about him doing the sample they were going to send out and then they just had him do it instead of getting someone else.
When Gillmore says "You almost lost me", that's a callback to the scene in campaign. They had a time deciding between just searching for Shawn, and looting around the destroyed Gillmore's Glorious Goods. They actually came pretty dang close to unknowingly (unintentionally!) letting him die.
The design and animation when Thordak destroys the palace just absolutely blows my mind. I love that scene so much! Rip Lance Reddick, you will always be the Cinder King.
The fact that he didn't make it to the bubble because he stopped to help a guard 😢 Uriel was a good one, failed a lot of charisma saving rolls, but still a good one
The "19 misses?" Grog moment. So much stress, even more when you realize they didn't know if Allura was in one of the toppled towers during the original stream.
I love the certain point when Zack went oh OH. Then looked at the audience like we know. Then proceeded to grab a drink anytime you wanted to block your reaction from she who reads your face.
You guys are great my favorite part is when Zack knows something coming and he looks at Nicole for her reaction “ sorry if i spelled y’all’s names wrong “ i hope the critter community shows up here
As i understand it was bittersweet for him. Because it was this amazing story twist that he was able to completely blindside the players with, but he was also completely destroying an entire world that he had spent years making.
YESSS I'm so happy you guys are diving into S2 so fast, this season was even better than S1 for me and I can't wait to see Nicole's reaction to later episodes!
Whoo Hoo! Season two! Great Reaction. Best opening season episode so far. You can tell right away that this season won't be holding back any punches. No one is safe. Nichole definitely doesn't let the clues slip by. This season will keep you guessing. What originally impressed me: these dragons are on another level of power and destruction. You should watch the campaign cut for dragon attack. All the players were complete in shock about what was happening. Matt gleefully destroyed Emon to show the players what the stakes were going to be going forward. Yes! Vorugal is voice by Liam.
Vorugal is Liam O'Brien, you nailed the others. Tiamat is a good guess: she has 5 heads, one for each colour of dragon. The Chroma Comclave is 5 dragons, one of each colour.
they really didn't hold back, just as Matt didn't when he dropped the Conclave on Vox Machina in game. I was so excited when I heard Cree Summer as the "mysterious voice" back in S1E2 that spoke to Keyleth, knowing she'd kill it as Raishan.
WE'RE HERE! :D So hyped. 12:28: Look, closing the gate bought them like an entire *round * of time, it attacked the gate, not them. Not much help, but not nothing. Liam has such a chameleon voice, I didn't remember it was him as Vorugal either the first time I watched, he's hard to recognize sometimes! I can usually catch most of them when they appear in other voice roles (hard not to when you've listened to 1000+ hours of campaign, I bet most critters start to get good at recognizing them all, lol) but I still find Liam tricky when he alters his voice. What a way to open a season, right? Watching this happen in campaign was WILD. Hey, you know that big, safe, "home base" city we spent 5 years of campaign (2 un-streamed) getting to know? Well, it's a crater now. Also, 2/3 of the population just died, and all of your most reliable sources of magic items, quest givers, supplies, and downtime activities are gone. Have fun with THAT going forwards. Oh, your keep? The "save point" where you can regroup and breathe for a moment? Where the DM surely won't drop an ancient white dragon? You're gonna go there? Psyc! That's gone too. Welcome to level 14! *jazz hands *
Yes I'm so hyped for this season! Great reaction! Yes liam voiced the dragon. Fun fact in the D&D game I play in we use tiamat's AC as a level if an enemy is bad news or not.
I kinda wanna sneak a peek into the planning meetings of the Chroma Conclave. Wich one of them was pushing for making it 5, one of each colour, just for "the symbolism". Wich one of them was THAT extra?
I was at work too when watching this, customers coming in would occasionally hear me sat "What?! No!" Or "Oh god this is so stressful" Also, I disagree, Grog would play the triangle.
@@FandomFuse Don’t worry about it. I can’t watch the livestreams because of my timezone, not everyone can for various. Plus, your video will still be there when the live is done x
"I'm looking at your face for clues."
*Zach used Goofy Smile of Revealing Nothing, it's super effective!*
His poker face is too good sometimes. ~ Nicole

Nevermind. You guys saw it at the end.
I love that they were like.. actually you're too good at this lol ~ Nicole
"We need someone to voice a character. Hey, Liam is available!"
- Every Voice Director Ever
For context on the scale of the attack, Matt said that between 75,000 and 80,000 people died in the dragon attack on Emon.
Um…I was DEEPLY unaware of this!
Yeah, Emon had about 290k people left a year after the Chroma Conclave. So 1/4 of the population got merc'd
Thordak the Cinder King
had a very shiny gem.
And if you ever saw it,
run the f away from him.

It hurt me so badly 😭 I miss Uriel already
The fact that he didn't make it to the bubble because he stopped to help a guard 😢
Uriel was a good one, failed a lot of charisma saving rolls, but still a good one
@hazell1304 this made me chuckle thank you

Liam, Vorugal is Liam. It was originally just a stand in but he did such a good voice they kept it
You guys are great my favorite part is when Zack knows something coming and he looks at Nicole for her reaction “ sorry if i spelled y’all’s names wrong “ i hope the critter community shows up here
I think Matt in the campaign enjoyed ‘destroying’ his map
He said later it was kind of enjoyment coupled with a "What have I done..." moment
As i understand it was bittersweet for him. Because it was this amazing story twist that he was able to completely blindside the players with, but he was also completely destroying an entire world that he had spent years making.
"Hey guys, I just all these cool dragon figurines! I can't wait to play with them!"
Vorugal was Liam
I love this content so much! Had to sub!!! You guys are so charismatic and fun to watch with 😊
thanks for joining the team! We're glad you're here! ~ Nicole
YESSS I'm so happy you guys are diving into S2 so fast, this season was even better than S1 for me and I can't wait to see Nicole's reaction to later episodes!
I couldn't wait a moment longer. lol that season 1 cliffhanger had me eager to hop in. ~ Nicole

Yes! Vorugal is voice by Liam.
so excited you guys are covering season 2 so quickly after season one, yay 🍿
Vorugal is Liam O'Brien, you nailed the others.
Tiamat is a good guess: she has 5 heads, one for each colour of dragon. The Chroma Comclave is 5 dragons, one of each colour.
....and then you pause it for the cast listing, lol - that's what I get for hitting send before you finish 😆
I'm still waiting for the moment when all the dragons just power ranger super form together to make Tiamat. ~ Nicole

I wonder how many horses died in Emon that day.
OH MY GOD, I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THIS. Great, now I’m crying 😭. ~Nicole
@@FandomFuse save some tears for the party, they're gonna need it too.
Great video! Can’t wait for the rest of the season!
Yes I'm so hyped for this season! Great reaction! Yes liam voiced the dragon. Fun fact in the D&D game I play in we use tiamat's AC as a level if an enemy is bad news or not.
Hyped isn't even a strong enough word to explain how excited I am about this season! ~ Nicole
16:03 I had the same reaction, Nicole 😂
RIP Lance Reddick
when this is all said and done. should watch season 1 show the bards lament.

Liam O'Brien voices Voregal.
As much as I loved season 1, season 2 is far superior, IMO. I hope you dig it as much as i did.
I'm already on the edge of my seat. Cannot wait for more. ~ Nicole
Liam and Mat both voiced the white dragon. (mostly Liam)
No, I'm pretty sure it was just Liam 👍🏻
Brave posting LOVM videos during the Critical Roll Livestream. I wonder if you have a lull in viewership until after their stream.
I come straight here when the stream ends 😁
*Cringes in "I picked the release times and has no idea when the live show premieres because I haven't started watching that yet" lol*
@@FandomFuse Don’t worry about it. I can’t watch the livestreams because of my timezone, not everyone can for various. Plus, your video will still be there when the live is done x
the thing I disliked the most about the animated show was the cowardly scanlon subplot. Utterly disinteresting.
That wasn't just for the show. That was a running theme throughout the beginning of the campaign, even somewhat up into Glintshore.
