So, just to trace the sequence of events in that particular subplot:
In episode 22, Grog goes off on his own in Vasselheim and strikes a deal with Cidric Gillsman, a merchant working in a tent at the side of the road, to buy some potions in exchange for pieces of a dragon the party had slain. He, being Grog, gets confused by the math and gives the guy way more than he’s asking for. When Vex finds out, she is livid.
In episode 43, the party (plus Zahra and Kash) stumbles across Cidric again when they get back to Vasselheim. Vex works out who he is and the entire party gets a little… aggressive in their bartering. Kashaw blandly asks how Cidric’s family’s doing, if everyone’s healthy. In an intimidation ploy, Vax stabs Grog in the arm without either of them breaking eye-contact with Cidric. The party convinces Cidric to trade for a worthless knick-knack by casting like three different spells on it simultaneously to make it look magical.
In episode 85, the party returns to Vasselheim and runs into Cidric once more; he has at this time graduated from a tent at the side of the road to owning his own shop. He refuses point-blank to do business with Vex and will only work with Grog.
In episode 90, Grog and Taryon split off from the group and go to seek out some potions. Along the way, a particularly poorly disguised Doty begins to draw some attention and suspicion from the guards of Vasselheim, since he is basically a robot wearing a mask over a fake goatee. When they get to Cidric’s shop, Taryon and Grog tell Doty to wait outside and keep an eye on things, and they actually have a rather civil and warm conversation with Cidric and manage to do some business. While Cidric’s in the back gift-wrapping their potions, a loud commotion erupts at the front of the shop, and Doty walks in, holding the unconscious bodies of two Vasselheim guards. Grog panics and punches them both in the face and then drenches their bodies in ale and tries to get Tary to vomit on them. As you do. Cidric emerges from the back, takes in the scene, shoves the potions at them, and yells at them to get out and never return.
And now, in episode 103, Grog and Scanlan are very innocently walking through Vasselheim on a completely unrelated errand… and one of the two guards Grog punched just happens to roll a high enough perception check to notice him as he goes by. The guard calls his captain and two companions, and suddenly Grog and Scanlan are being arrested by four Vasselheim guards. They try to convince the guards that they’re being pursued by Doty’s “final form”, and Scanlan uses Major Illusion to create a giant mecha-Doty that breathes steam and has tusks, but the captain of the guard sees through it and starts calling for backup. Grog punches the captain in the face. Scanlan Polymorphs Grog into a giant eagle and they make their escape after getting shot at by ten different crossbows. They’re now wanted by the entire guard of the city of Vasselheim.
