Hi, Bryan!

I reverted your edit to the description of Clarota's betrayal on the Vox Machina page, replacing it with a more neutral point of view. In specific, I disagree with the implication of utilitarian exploitation (that Clarota merely used Vox Machina) given evidence to the contrary (including but not limited to unnecessarily risking his own life to save a petrified Lady Kima when he didn't need to gain further trust, enjoying Scanlan's healing song and perhaps asking for more songs in the future, and the undeniable power of the Elderbrain over illithids). In fairness, though, my original statement of Clarota being corrupted could be considered POV, too. So I updated it to a neutral statement of plot progression with a direct timecode reference, in the hope that Clarota's supporters and opponents could both find validity in it.

Also, I agree with you that Mercer's inflection usually suggests that High Bearer Vord should be spelled "Highbearer Vord", but the published materials say "High Bearer Vord", which is why I didn't rename the page in previous months. Source:  http://geekandsundry.com/critical-role-episode-16/. Until we receive clarification otherwise (because sometimes the G&S materials have inconsistencies, even though written the cast and approved by Mercer), we should probably stick with the official spelling. In the past, I've tried to get clarification on things like this from Mercer via Twitter, but it's really random whether or not he responds.

Anyway, sorry for more nit-picking! Even when I don't have much time to do heavy writing/editing for the wiki, I always watch the Recent Activity very closely, so I react pretty quickly to edits (and, frankly, the anonymous vandalism and abuse toward cast members that we receive). It's not in any way a lack of appreciation for your hard work, because I'm suuuuper grateful for that! Great work! :-D
