Intro
Meanwhile, Vox Machina is at a tavern having a drinking contest. After Grog wins, another tavern patron, Agar, starts to pick a fight with Keyleth. Vox Machina warns him off, and Vax attempts defuse the situation. He fails, and Vox Machina begins a bar fight. All join in, except for Scanlan, who is upstairs seducing the tavern keeper's daughter. The tavern keeper yells at everyone to stop and throws Vox Machina out for their brawling and failure to pay. Keyleth remarks that they've now been kicked out of every tavern in Emon, and Vex notes that they only have three silver. Keyleth wonders why they're even sticking together, given how much they've been struggling. Scanlan walks over to a jobs board to, as he puts it, "drain the basilisk" and sees the posting for mercenaries. With no other prospects, the party agrees to try the job.
The next day, the dirty and visibly hungover party is nearly turned away from the palace until they show the posting to the guards. They are brought before the council, who are highly skeptical of Vox Machina's ability. However, Scanlan sings a compelling introduction song while conjuring an illusion. General Krieg argues in favor of giving them a chance, and Sovereign Uriel in particular is impressed that they have a bear. They are given the job and the promise of payment, which is contained in a golden chest. While in front of the council, Vex gets a strange twinge in her head.
The party take a skyship to the Shalesteps with Allura, who briefly explains their mission, before she drops them off. In the village, Keyleth attempts to speak with local plant life for information, and the rest of the party wander around and speak to the villagers. A little girl tells the party that the creature flew overhead while it attacked. With this information, Vax notices a ruined tree at a mountain peak overlooking the village.
Vex tracks the creature through the wilderness, noticing that the tracks eventually become human like. She feels a pain in her head again and warns the party that the creature is close. However, the party merely comes upon a lamb. While they are laughing, a massive blue dragon attacks. The party attempts to fight but are barely able to damage it as it spews electricity towards them. They only survive by Keyleth using her magic to hide them until the dragon leaves.
After the fight, Pike heals Grog. Keyleth nearly breaks down with fear over the dragon, and the party contemplates abandoning the mission. Pike insists that they should attempt to help the people of the Shalesteps, but she fails to convince them. Because Vex explains that the pain in her head indicates someone on the council is working with the dragon, most of the group decides to never return to Emon for their safety. The group heads back to the village.
They discover the village destroyed. The disheartened party decide that they need to fight back on behalf of the village, even though it scares them. Back in Emon, Vox Machina reports back to the council that the unknown threat is a blue dragon, though the council already knew this. Once Outside, Vex tells the group that someone on the council is working with the dragon, and they suspect Gregory Fince. They split up to prepare.
