Y'all keep referring to Pike as their only healer, but technically, 5 of the 7 members have access to some healing. Obviously Pike as a cleric is their primary healer, but Scanlan has access to healing magic as a bard (although they removed a lot of his magic for the show to balance it) Keyleth as a druid has healing magic, Vex as a ranger has access to healing magic (although, again, they removed a lot of her magic for the show as well) but Vax also has healing, at the very least he has lay on hands since he multiclassed into paladin when he become the Matron of Ravens's champion.

Another fun fact, all of the gods in Vox Machina are actual D&D gods, they just changed their names for the show due to copyright, some they just used existing titles for them like the Matron of Ravens (The Raven Queen) and the Whispered One (Vecna)

The guy in the cell with Percy in ep 8 is Taliesin Jaffe, Percy's actual voice actor and player for the campaign

At this point of the campaign, Liam had recently lost his mother to cancer, and was doing his best to carry on. He has mentioned that getting the killing blow on Thordak, who killed Vax's mother was a cathartic experience, like he had defeated the cancer that plagued his mother.

Vex was indeed resurected in the show. In the game the longer you stay dead, the more powerful the spell to resurrected them is needed.

Matt also have a homebrew rule that makes it harder to resurrect someone for each time they died.

However, they changed the rules for the show to make it even harder, and even changed some deaths to near deaths in order to make the actual deaths more impactful for the story.

And in Percy's case, even if he could be resurrected, his soul belongs to Orthax now, so that's another layer of difficulty.

Vox Machina is their first campaign, the Chroma Conclave is their longest arc. By the way, it just got confirmed that season 4 is greenlit so the story continues. The campaign was 115 episodes streamed, by this point they could finish the series in 5 seasons. Plus they have a second campaign that just started animated

Also this still covers the events from their first campaign ,the entire show is the adaptation of their first campaign ,every campaign the cast creates new characters that they play do in the seconda campaign they Play as someone else than Vox Machina and in the third campaign they play someone else than they did in campaign 2

Lance passing away had nothing to do with Thordak being killed in this episode ,in the original campaign Thordak was also the first one to die and Raishan was the next enemy that Vox Machina had to deal with

So not a spoiler, just a reminder, Vex very much did die. Vax basically made a deal with the maiden of ravens to get her back. As someone else already said, this is still their first campaign Mighty Nein which is already in production will be campaign 2. Also they deviate deviated quite a bit in this season, but the way/time Thordak dies and what they’ll probably do with Raishan is pretty damn close to the campaign. I personally really like the changes, like pretty sure the reason Keyleth doesn’t heal more is to make Pike shine more, because in the campaign even Scanlan as well as Vax actually heal, even if not that much. They did a really good job in streamlining the whole story, not that it wasn’t awesome before.

I never watched the original campaign but I looked up stuff on the wiki and as a D&D nerd I can tell you there are ways to resurrect but from what I read about the original there are some changes in the show compared to when they played. I'll put the spoiler at the bottom.

in the original they just get him resurrected.
