Produced by Metapigeon and Brandon Auman for Amazon Prime, *The Legend of Vox Machina* is an adult animated fantasy series. This show draws inspiration from the inaugural campaign of *Critical Role*, a popular Dungeons and Dragons series, featuring the original cast of voice actors from the series.
Returning to their roles are notable talents such as Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham. The debut season launched in January 2022, followed by the second season in January 2023. In October 2022, the series was confirmed for a third season, which premiered on October 3, 2024.
This new season comprises a total of 12 episodes. The first three episodes were released on October 3, with episodes 4 to 6 following on October 7. The most recent trio premiered on October 17, promising an exciting conclusion to the season.
Episode 9, entitled Thordak’s Throne, focused on an intense confrontation between Vox Machina and Thordak, the ancient red dragon and leader of the Chroma Conclave. Ultimately, the heroes prevailed, eliminating Thordak; however, this victory came at the price of Kashaw Vesh’s life.
Thordak’s Throne: Episode 9 of The Legend of Vox Machina Delivers A Gruesome Demise
The narrative of episode 9 centered on the conflict involving Vox Machina and Thordak’s forces. The episode opened with the red dragon unleashing an assault against the armies of Whitestone and Syngorn. Faced with overwhelming danger, Vox Machina opted to divide their forces; while some raced to assist their comrades, others aimed to destroy the dragon’s eggs.
Kashaw and Zahra also entered the fray, but they found themselves overwhelmed by Thordak and his allies. In a devastating moment, Kashaw was crushed by the Cinder King, taken by the Matron of Ravens, while the battle raged on.
Keyleth and Pike targeted a crystal anchored in Thordak’s chest, his soul anchor, which granted him power. Despite their struggles, Pike recalled Zerxus’s encouragement to trust in her abilities, allowing her to temporarily sap the dragon’s strength.
Meanwhile, Grog and Scanlan grappled with their decisions. Nevertheless, Scanlan persuaded Grog to focus on destroying the dragon eggs, even as they began to hatch. Their efforts resulted in a battle against the newly emerged dragons, compounding their challenges.
Hearing the cries of his offspring, Thordak abandoned the fight to aid them. However, Grog outsmarted him by causing a cave-in that trapped the dragon beneath the rubble. Although Thordak eventually freed himself, he was filled with rage and vengeance.
While Thordak sought retribution against Vox Machina, a twist of fate occurred as Raishan’s betrayal led to his downfall. She accused Thordak of breaking his promises, leading to a temporary confrontation between them.
At this point, Thordak was significantly weakened and attempted to flee. Vax seized the opportunity, delivering the decisive blow that annihilated the Cinder King. Thus, Vox Machina claimed victory once more, albeit at a heavy cost; Scanlan fell into a deep coma, and despite Raishan’s betrayal, her escape with Thordak’s remains left the team questioning her true motives.
Answers to these mysteries are likely to unfold in the upcoming episodes. *The Legend of Vox Machina* Season 3 is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
