Oh wow, I almost forgot about this channel with how it stopped showing up on my fyp/home page. How I managed that is beyond me, I love this channel. Sorry man, so much to catch up on now :D... gotta love how even if you're subscribed youtube won't always feed the channels you like to you when they put out new stuff. I do apologize.
Long story short, this all follows the champaign, however the further they get into the animation the more they mess with things to shore up length and such... people will have major events happen in places they didn't happen in the game, but do in the animation. This season especially things move around from happening in one location in a game to another one in animation, stuff like that. Typical things that have to happen when adapting any store to the screen.
In regards to Keyleth's distrust of Raishan, there is a few different elements to this. I'll only talk about the non-spoiler elements to this. Pyrah is one of her peoples settlements and most of it and it's people were annihilated due to the actions of Raishan. Raishan doesn't seem to be that reflective over it or even necessarily care. I mean, she is a green dragon. Empathising over humanoids isn't in their nature. It's just pragmatism on Raishan's part to help Vox Machina. It's rather easy to imagine her wiping them out if it aided her in her goals. So, the distrust is warranted from what we have seen. Raishan did take part in destroying Emon and killing countless civilians. If the tables turn, what's to stop Raishan from turning on Vox Machina? Keyleth just doesn't want that to happen. Better to face two powerful enemies than be stabbed in the back facing one. Furthermore, Keyleth is still on her Aramente (This has been mentioned a couple of times but other events would've overshadowed it at the time). A major spiritual journey which seems to elevate her upon each step completed (Her fire form is one such boon). To embark on such a journey whilst working with an entity that helped destroy a settlement of the Ashari would be a massive slap in the face to the Ashari.
ah ok, that makes it make a bit more sense. Like I understood her distrust but the pros seemed to outweigh the cons IMO. I see what you are saying now.
Well said, especially the last part bc I think that part of her character seems to be forgotten among all the chaos. Her people are still her top priority even though she's with VM, because that was the whole point of her being out there in the world in the 1st place.
If you watched the campaign, we basically know what's going to happen, but we're also surprised. They're changing a lot of the campaign, mostly tightening it up so they can tell thge story in 30 hours instead of 450. For example, in the campaign, they all went to the Fae Realm and met Garmelie; in the show, they split them up so they could tell 2 parts of the story at once to save time. Grand Poobah de Mayonaise is a marriage of 2 Grog moments from the campaign. They're keeping in a bunch of story points that we all want to see. Grog dive-bombing Kevdack out of the Pokeball was a moment we all expected to see...and we were not disappointed!!! Ripley was a nasty recurring villain in the campaign, but she's way more of a c&nt in the show! Several people have made videos comparing moments in the campaign vs. the show. They can be fun to watch. I may have said this before -- watching Critical Role is like watching people put on an old-school radio show; they describe everything to you. During the campaign, Scanlan was looking to score drugs, and would ask, "Do you spice?" to certain people in hopes of finding some; most people would ask him whatTF he was talking about. It's not the spinning orb of doom...it's an entity with which Percy is way too familiar.

Welcome again! I'm so glad you found your way back :))

I like calling it the spinning orb of doom ^^ thanks for filling me in.
