3rd POV

The finally arrive back to Tal'Dorei after going through the dangers and gain the vestiges in the Fey realm. But they then end up in a middle of nowhere in nightfall.

Keyleth: Um, isn't Whitestone supposed to be here?

Percy: This is the right valley. But where's it gone?

Vex: (Sigh.) What's with cities up and moving this week?

YN: I highly doubt Whitestone would move to the Fey realm. Otherwise we'd know it when we see it.

Vax looks ahead and found dog footprints. But he suddenly saw a flowers disappear and reappearing. He reach his hand and touches something in mid air, realizing its hidden.

Vax: Maybe it didn't move.

He then enters as the rest join him. soon they see the Whitestone is still here, it was only hidden by cloaking magic.

YN: Huh, not bad, this could be Gilmore and Alluras doing.

Percy: If it is, then they doing well to hide the Whitestone plain and sight. They should be in the castle.

Vax: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.

Inside the Whitestone castle, Allura, Kima, Gilmore, Cassandra, and Yennen are at the meeting. Discussing of the dragon situation.

Kima: The dragons are on the move. They've already taken Emon and Westruun.

Allura: Our defenses are holding steady for now, but Gilmore and I will need help soon.

Yennen: Hiding the city was never meant to be a permanent solution.

Gilmore: I can't speak for Allura, but keeping this cloaking spell up is murder on my complexion.

Cassandra: I am fully aware of our situation. But for now, concealing Whitestone is the only way to protect it.

Percy: Well, whatever you're doing, Cass, I'm please to see its work.

Percy enters along with the others in the room. This made the council gasp to see them are alive and safe.

Cassandra: (Smile relief.) Percy.

Allura: Vox Machina.

YN: Is good to see you guys are doing well.

Allura: Like wise. After three weeks, we'd started to give up hope.

Keyleth: (Shock.) Three weeks? We've only been gone for three days.

YN: I should've known, time moves differently in each realm.

Keyleth: It does?

Percy: (Upset.) I hate the bloody Fey realm.

Gilmore: (Hugs Vax.) Well, despise your temporal hiccup, I'm relieved you're back.

Gilmore kisses Vax check before he notice his new look.

Gilmore: (Smirk.) Oh, and with a new look. (Chuckles.)

Vax: (Chuckles.) Something like that. Happy to see you as well, Shaun.

Kima: So, uh...where's everyone else?

Keyleth: (Nervous chuckle.) Funny story. I...kind of lost them...its... (Sad.) Really not that funny.

Vex: We were separated from the others when Umbrasyl attacked.

YN: It gets worst, someone may be helping the dragon. Its the only reason why Umbrasyl found out about us and attacked.

Vex: We can worry about that later. Right now, we need to find our friends.

Vax: They could be anywhere.

Allura: Then perhaps I can help you find your friends. (Casting.) Show me what is lost.

Allura creates a vision on the table to show everyone where their friends are.

Keyleth: Oh, OK, they're alive.

Keyleth: Um, but who are those guys?

YN: They look big as Grog.

Vex: Grog doesn't seem to be hiding. Did he get...smaller?

Vax: Huh, glad I'm not the only one who's thinking it.

YN: Good, then its safe to say this, he's puny as Vax.

Vax smacks the back of YN's head.

Allura: Oh, no. He appears to be in Westruun.

Vax: Westruun?

Cassandra: My diplomats report the dragon Umbrasyl has taken up there. Most of the locals have fled or...

Kima imitate slicing her throat while Allura looks at her disappointed.

Vax: Then Grog could be in deep shit.

YN: Now hold on for a minute. There has to be a good reason they're a Westruun. Scanlan said that the vestige is there.

Vex: He also said that one of them is wearing it.

Vax: Whoever it is, the weilder could be tougher than Grog.

Allura: What's the plan?

YN: We go down there and help.

Kima: You're joking? There's a herd of storm and they're all bigger as Grog. Well, before he became smaller.

Keyleth: We can't just leave them there.

Percy: Judging by the view, it looks like they're all gathered. We can plan a surprise attack.

Vax: Then it's settle, let's go before it gets ugly.

Allura: I can take you to Westruun without them noticing.

Vax: All right then, any questions before we leave?

YN: What are we waiting for?

They all nod before Allura creates a portal for them.

YN: On second thought, I can wait-

Everyone: Shut up and go!

YN: (Mutters.) I fucken hate this...

Meanwhile at the Westruun. Grog is facing his uncle aka Kevdak on 1 on 1 combat to restore the herds honor.

Kevdak: The rules of herd combat are thus: The fight ends when someone dies. End of rules.

Grog: Good. 'Cause I can't keep track of any more than that.

Before Grog could fall, Kevdak grabs him by the face before leaping up and bash him straight to the ground. Grog was down while his uncle is holding him down.

Kevdak: Nothing's changed, Grog. Still the meek coward who ran crying for the hills.

Kevdak gets ready to punch him with his gauntlet.

Kevdak: What made you think you could stop me?

Grog: F...friends...

Kevdak: What was that?

Grog: (Grips his fist.) My strength...comes from my friends...

Kevdak chuckles and then laughs as the herd joins him. Unbeknownst to them, Grog's friends are in the rooftop, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Kevdak: Well, too bad, Grog. They couldn't save you.

Grog: Yeah, but the thing is...(Spits blood.) I got more...Vox Machina...

The rest of his friends appear on the rooftop, ready to fight the herds.

Grog: Fuck...shit...UP!

Pike and Scanlan breaks free as he creates a hand construct to stay high ground.

Scanlan: You heard the man!

Scanlan creates a guitar pick and plays a metal music.

Vex shoots an arrow at Kevdak, but he catches it and crushes it.

Kevdak: Bleed 'em!

The herd charges at them while Vox Machina jumps down. Kevdak throws a wood spikes at them like a spear, but Vex dodges them while it sticks in the wall. YN use them as a support and throws multiple spears at some of them before hitting the ground with the spear as they got blown up.

    Vax easily slices them with his knives and his speed as his sister shoots another arrow at Kevdak. Kevdak was about to pull it off, but it then turns into vines, trapping him down while Vox machina are fighting the herd. Keyleth charges down with her tiger form and easily killing them. While Scanlan is floating on a hand construct, the hand sent out a massive lightning to shock them from above while singing.

    One of them was about to shoot Scanlan but Vex stops him while Percy watches her back from the rooftop. Percy moves out of the way as the lady tries to kill him. He shoots her couple of times, but she took a lot of hits until he shoot for her head. More of them climb up but YN throws spears at them before blowing them up.

    Pike is fighting one and goes full Yoda fighting mode against a half giant. Lol. More of them come but Keyleth turns back before creating a massive wall of vines.

They try to climb over until Vex shoots fire arrows to burn them down. The herd got closer to YN that he couldn't use his spear for throwing. So instead, he puts it away and grab his steel sword before facing them.

While this was all happening, Grog notice his uncle break free from the vine before charging at him.

Grog: The gauntlet!

Grog tries to get it off of him but Kevdak punches him away. Keyleth tries to use ice to trap him, but he manage to break free again and get his foot off of the ice. This gave pike who's above the ice the opportunity to strike him from above.

    But Kevdak catches her and throws her at Scanlan. However, this distraction gave grog the opportunity to grab and axe and strike him with one swift. Unfortunately he manage to cut his uncle's arm but its still attached to him as Kevdak yells in pain where everyone look and were shock.

    Kevdak just rips it off of him like it was nothing as he shouts.

Grog: ....That is badass.

He then beats Grog up with his severed hand like a weapon.

Kevdak: Herd of storms, do not let these weaklings get the better of you. End this!

The herd then get serious and Vox Machinas are having trouble.

Percy: This isn't going well!

YN: I got this! Vex, I need a ride!

Vex: On it!

She uses her locket to summon the Graphorn before YN rides on her and they charge towards the herd like a rhino while YN slices the herds close to him. Kevdak was about to beat Grog up again until his son aka Zanror stops him by pushing his father away since his hands were cuffs. He tried his best until Kevdak headbutts him before grabbing him by the neck and looks at him with disappointment. Grog tries to stop him but more of them pins him down.

Kevdak: Son.

Zanror: Father.

He begins to headbutt his son hard. Vex is flying on a broomstick and see that they're having trouble until an idea pop in her head.

Vex: Gods, I hope this works.

She release Trinket from the locket to help Percy before flying towards Grog while shouting.

Vex: Grog, want to try something crazy?

Grog: Fuck yeah!

Vex gets him in her locket before throwing up to the air.

Vex: Show him who you are!

Grog got out of the locket and falls, ready to strike Kevdak from above with one powerful blow.

Grog: Grog....STRONGJAW!!!!

His strike cause a massive impact where Vex falls off her broom but her brother caught her one time while the Graphorn shielded YN, Keyleth, Pike, and Scanlan from the impact.

The fire died down while the cloud of smoke faded where everyone sees Kevdak has finally been defeated. Where the battle of the Westruun is over.

After finally killing Kevdak, Grog collapse from all the injuries he took while Pike rushes in to heal him fast.

Pike: (Worried.) Grog! No, no, no, no, no.

She successfully seals his wounds before he opens his eyes and groans.

Grog: Hello, buddies.

Pike: (Relieved.) We got to work on your landings.

Grog gets up and retrieve the gauntlets from his dead uncle's corpse.

The herd begins to cheer him by calling him Strongjaw as Vox Machina joins as well.

Grog: Herd of storm, its done. Kevdak is done. You're free now.

Zanror: So what, cousin? You're in charge now.

Grog: Zanror, it's been a while. Why the shackles?

Zanror: I finally stood up to the old man. Like you, I paid the price. Do what you have to.

Grog nods and he free his cousin from the chains which left Zanror confused.

Grog: You were once like a brother to me.

He helps his cousin up back to his feet.

Grog: And I see you have the strength to do what your father could never do: Lead with honor. Which is why...

Grog: Zanror will now be known as Thunderlord of the Herd of storms!

The herd cheers for Zanror for being their leader.

YN: (Smirk.) Man, our buddy is all grown up to a real man.

Vax: Well ain't that the first.

Zanror: Me? But what will you do?

Grog: Oh, nothing. (Smirks.) Maybe kill a dragon. Care to join me?

Zanror smirks and chuckles. Getting what the herd needed, payback. And now the Herd of storms are an alliance with Vox Machina. For they are going to slay the next dragon at dawn.
