Critical Role, an immensely popular web series, has been captivating audiences with its thrilling storytelling and intricate world-building since its inception. One of the most iconic story arcs is the Kraghammer arc, which spans 16 episodes (1-16) and begins in medias res, picking up where the original home game left off.

This fascinating tale introduces viewers to an array of colorful characters, including Arkhan the Cruel, a red dragonborn paladin/barbarian played by Joe Manganiello. In episode 12, we're treated to a unique one-shot episode featuring guest players in various roles. These talented individuals bring their own brand of magic to the story, with performances from Darin De Paul as Ethrid 'Sprigg' Brokenbranch, gnome rogue; Jon Heder as Lionel 'Chod' Gayheart, half-orc bard/barbarian; ND Stevenson as Tova, dwarf/werebear blood hunter; Patrick Rothfuss as Kerrek, human paladin; Chris Perkins as Shale, goliath fighter; Chris Hardwick as Gern Blanston, dragonborn wizard; Kit Buss as Lillith Anioska Daturai, tiefling wizard; Will Friedle as Kashaw Vesh, human cleric; Wil Wheaton as Thorbir Falbek, dwarf fighter; Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Zahra Hydris, tiefling warlock, and more.

As the campaign unfolds, we meet Taryon Darrington, a human artificer who joins Vox Machina after the defeat of the Chroma Conclave. Meanwhile, Scanlan Shorthalt, gnome bard, temporarily leaves the group to focus on self-discovery and spend time with his daughter. Tragedy strikes when Orion Acaba's character, Tiberius Stormwind, dragonborn sorcerer, leaves the group during their journey to Whitestone and later meets a fatal end at the hands of the Chroma Conclave.

The core cast members include Marisha Ray as Keyleth of the Air Ashari, half-elf druid; Taliesin Jaffe as Percival 'Percy' Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III, human gunslinger; Liam O'Brien as Vax'ildan 'Vax' Vessar, half-elf rogue/paladin/druid; Laura Bailey as Vex'ahlia 'Vex' de Rolo, née Vessar, half-elf ranger/rogue; Travis Willingham as Grog Strongjaw, goliath barbarian/fighter; Ashley Johnson as Pike Trickfoot, gnome cleric.
