Seems unrelated until you remember that Keyleth has the powers now to generate and control fire and alcohol is flammable.

* During Vox Machina's first fight against Brimscythe, the dragon vaporizes an entire grove of trees as Keyleth looks on in horror. Being a druid, she is able to communicate with plants as if they are sentient beings. In her eyes, seeing all those destroyed trees was like [[NightMareFuel seeing an entire group of people massacred in three seconds.]] No wonder she froze up.

* General Krieg is present when the army is getting encamped just before they're attacked by Brimscythe. He's also not shown during the fighting, and survives to be seen back in Emon. The only way it makes sense is if [[spoiler: he's working with the dragon, or is the dragon (as is the case).]]

*Uriel saying he hired Vox Machina because he liked the song. In campaign, Scanlan's song would likely count as a Performance check, using Charisma, and considering they were hired despite being... Vox Machina, it's likely he rolled a Natural 20.

* Creator/MatthewMercer voicing several prominent antagonists in series one and two, particularly those who play a secondary role to the actual planing antagonist and acts as [[ClimaxBoss a formidable physical threat]] to Vox Machina, makes sense. It's like he's the Game Master controlling these characters in opposition to the players, and both fights end with them becoming stronger in some fashion, by looting said corpse or taking the vestiges back, like they gained Exp for their success.

Added DiffLines:

* As Scanlan sinks through the ice, Percy asks if Keyleth could turn into a bird and save him. Given how earlier she turned into a giant eagle, he may have been referring to that. But since Keyleth was panicking and Percy wasn't specific in the "bird" form she's used, she didn't understand what he meant.

Added DiffLines:

* Why does Percy shout out that he is "very flammable" while fighting the Fire Plane creatures in "Pass Through Fire"? Because he uses firearms that use gunpowder. Gunpowder is ''very'' flammable: one errant ember, and Percy could be blown sky high!

** That village attack? It was the work of ''one'' dragon! Season 2 opens with '''four''' dragons, each more powerful than Brimscythe, laying waste to Emon in a matter of minutes. Who knows what else they're capable of? Gilmore theorizes that they might even destroy all of Tal'Dorei given the chance.

* During their first meeting with Gilmore, he demonstrates the same coin-finger-flip trick that Vax was doing in the village in the previous episode. Likely, in the animated series at least, he taught the trick to his favorite half-elven rogue.
* Vex'ahlia frequently displays an inherent greed for gold and shiny things. Now, this is in-character with her personality in WebVideo/CriticalRole but in the show at least may also stem from a desire to be more "noble"... i.e. the way her father Syldor wanted her to be (from her perspective, at least). The flashback where she broke a precious family heirloom and he chewed her out would seem to support this.

Added DiffLines:

* As of "Into Rimecleft", Osysa's words to Scanlan: "Nobody cares about you. I'm no different", were not a BreakingSpeech, but rather a NotSoDifferentRemark, and a hint at things to come. Happy-go-lucky though he may seem, Scanlan is the only member of the party to empathize with both sphinxes' loneliness, and this ends up saving the day in her mate's trial. No wonder he goes on to [[spoiler: earn the Knowing Mistress' blessing]] later in the campaign.

* In Season 2, when helping out the Fire Ashari against the flame-breathing wyverns, Percy screams, "Shit, shit, I'm very flammable!" While this seems like an obvious (and hilarious) statement considering Percy is an ordinary human, Percy is also a ''gunslinger''. He's ''actively carrying gunpowder.'' Even if he didn't get hit directly by a burst of flame, a little spark in ''just'' the right place could set him ablaze.

* Keyleth seems to be a little more prone to messing up than the rest. But, assuming they have the same backstories they do in the campaign, it makes sense. She grew up being trained and taught in preparation for a possible role but she was kept at home and sheltered until she was sent out to prove herself. The others had less sheltered upbringings, making Keyleth the one with the least real-world experience.
* Episode 4 shows the hit-point diffrences between adventurers and guards, or [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] and [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]]. The ghouls' single hit killed all the guards except the captain, who is presumably at a higher level, but all of Vox Machina took the same attacks and survived.

* Vox Machina's stand-in were still alive when they were hung on the Sun Tree, given that their mouths are open and some of them have their tongues protruding out. They also have cuts on their heads and elsewhere that don't look like Vax's bite marks - most likely they were tortured, then executed by hanging. The blue feathers and antlers looked to have been ''nailed'' to "Vex" and "Keyleth's" heads, judging by the blood at the site.

** Another hint of Krieg's identity, dragons being incredibly vain. So it would make sense why Krieg has such a large protrait of himself at the entrance of his home, he's stroking his own ego.

** Additionally, such research is predicated on need. If Delilah Briarwood's statement on the public reason is indeed what people think, that the de Rolo family simply retired, nobody would care. Given how insular Whitestone is, and that nobody expected the Briarwoods to show, it's unlikely even that little piece of information was known to the Council.

** From what little we see, Uriel was suspicious of the Briarwoods, threatening to station a garrison in Whitestone. If Uriel was aware of Percy's lineage, it's likely Uriel is the reason Percy is seated across the table from the Briarwoods, specifically to provoke some sort of reaction. Uriel just didn't expect Sylas having supernatural charms.

The only difference is that this time, the boy and the girl don't survive.
