Summary
Vox Machina, a group of powered vigilantes who saved the Governor's life and are now respectable heroes in the eyes of the public, might be hitting a complicated time in their careers. After finally getting used to the fame, the relative leniency they now had from the law when they were doing their hero work, the steady pay, and, arguably the best of all, a great decline in supervillains looking to ruin the city, they're met with a new, and much darker, story arc.
Percy has kept his very cliched tragic backstory from his friends, simply telling them was the only one who survived a brutal attack in his family and his family may have had prominent standing in a small city, but one can only run from their demons for so long before they come back, usually with more teeth. And, in a rare afternoon of relaxation when the news is running in the background, Percy hears the names "Delilah and Sylas Briarwood" and they're meeting with Governor Uriel Tal'Dorie to discuss building a road between Emon and Whitestone. What would normally be a case of boring politics is anything but when Percy tells his friends that the Briarwoods have other names, "The Lord and Lady", and are the supervillains who destroyed his entire life.
