      If vox machina cross paths with laudna and find out who is in her head, it is very possible that blood will be spilled. From the point of view of VM, would you let her live? I wouldn't let her go. I would even get angry with Orym for not giving notice of the situation. And all this without mentioning BH's reaction. I want it to happen so much just for the drama.

    Laudna’s back story, especially with the context of C1, is utterly tragic and heartbreaking. Every time it’s mentioned I tear up.

      I would love for them to accidentally meet Vex when she's in the woods around whitestone (so she would be in her more adventure-y attire) and Laudna getting all PTSD-y from seeing the clothes. But I think it would be a bold choice to bribg old characters up (like in person, not only through voice) because would Matt play them? Would their original player play them?

      On the one hand, can't wait, on the other let's wait until they're higher level because Vox Machina are level 20 and if Laudna sets off Percy or Vex's very justified PTSD with the one two combo of being undead AND being connected to Delilah that will end extremely poorly for Bells Hells lol. We're talking scorched earth policy here people.

      Campaign 1? maybe after the tree reveal. The show? Yes if ya look at vex's double it acts different from the other corpses when they are turned into the undead army by deliah making me think that's how laudna became a hollow one. Only realize this after multiple rewatches since the camera focus on the sun tree corpses esp laudna for a split second as the spell takes hold and she doesn't rise or turns to dust when the spell ends or when pike uses turn undead near the tree.
