We've had a family/murder of crows visiting our garden for years now, and this season the chicks are soooo helpless! They just stand around expectantly with their mouths open as the mom crow eats. Which is what inspired this comic! :)

Scanlan used a 9th-level counterspell to defeat Vecna and, in doing so, was unable to save Vax, in campaign 1 episode 114. In campaign 3 episode 114, he was able to free the beacon from the machine keeping Vax imprisoned and finally save him

[queermil]

Vax's reappearance and temporary return to the mortal world last episode got me thinking about how, way back in EXU: Calamity, Zerxus was only ever able to offer a temporary reprieve to Vespin Chloras. His Cleansing Touch was able to give Vespin a moment as himself, to act under his own will rather than that of the Lord of the Hells, and he made good use of it, but ultimately he belonged to Asmodeus in a way Zerxus couldn't counter. He was no longer just a man who made a terrible decision and who could choose to make better ones and undo his mistakes, although he was certainly that as well, he was and is a fiend bound in the service of the Lord of the Hells who exists as an extension of his will. And that I think was the reason Zerxus couldn't full redeem him: while the man in Vespin could be given redemption, the fiend he became could not, so the man got a temporary reprieve to do his best with.

And this feels relevant to Vax because like Vespin he became something more than mortal, a celestial in his case, bound to the service of a god (though considerably more consentingly). To quote the Tal'dorei Campaign Setting Reborn: "The Champion of Ravens is not Vax'ildan, though Vax resides within him." So it feels appropriate that, like Vespin, the man Vax once was can have a moment, one single night, but no more, because the nature of his existence has been fundamentally changed in a way there's no coming back from.

[queermil]

Keyleth fundamentally misunderstands Vax's service to the Raven Queen, which is not to say I blame her at all! The Matron has not bound Vax to pay a debt, there is no "payment". Vax chose to serve the Matron. The circumstances of his death were unexpected and terrible, yes, but the Matron did not steal him. Keyleth (and Vex) still thinks he is paying her back for saving Vex. Vax spent years coming to terms with what serving the Matron would mean and *he chose it* in the blood pool in Vasselheim.

But how can Keyleth come to her own terms with his choice if he keeps sending her ravens? How is she supposed to know what that means?

[queermil]

surely this won't come back and hurt later. right?
