That's the thing about Grog, where as everyone else is logic and reasoning and whenever there are 2 conflicting reasons to do or not do something. Grog is emotion, do what feels right, and Scanlan knew what felt right for him, that was what matters

I mean Vax also encouraged him to go with Kaylie. He just didn't want to see someone he held so dearly lie to himself

I think if Vax has been more open with his feelings, the situation could of happened on different terms. But in hindsight Scanlan leaving brought some changes to Vax and Vex and with their changes it affected Percy and Keyleth. Grog loves Pike and Scanlan so he only ever wants whats best for them, even if it means being seperated for a time.

😂

He did roll a 30+ persuasion, and she failed with a 1 in her attack anyway.

By far the best interaction I’ve heard from Sam Reigal. In second was the “we’re gods” and third was the jug of Mayonnaise

So good! And he's totally right... Vox machina didn't know him and none of them knew Kaylie. While it was a mistake for them to bring Kaylie to help him come back, it was the only way to bring him back. The party goes through all the possible methods of getting him back- 'stop lying to yourself', 'we went mad trying to bring you back', 'you're a bigger man than me', 'we're all terrible people' etc, and he has a response for them all. His only choice was to go and meet Kaylie for real and take care of her. Grog doesn't try to stop him, because Grog knew Scanlan the best. They spent the most time together, they laughed together, and they whored together... the "what was your mother's name" "juniper" broke my heart even more than that one.

@@petersenior5432 you're right there but I absolutely loved Pikes response when he tries to apologize which was that he was in the same boat as them when it comes to not knowing everything about them using the same question which was he didn't know Pikes mother and he[Sanlan] is in love with her

The conspiracy theory/ Irony to me would be that he did know her parent's name, but in the moment he wanted Pike to vent out everything she didn't get to when he left. Also for Ashley it was a pivotal moment in a story in which she wasn't there for, His death twice, and Scanlan awaking. If she was there, I don't think Scanlan leaves that way and perhaps sneaks out by leaving a letter to her and grog.

He remembered why Scanlan left.

Pretty sure it was 3 dragons later but yeah

I will say, in Dnd, it can be so hard to not to do, to not meta game

Hopefully Matt would've had her kiss his cheek

More like a Vader and Leiya technically

@@Laantin shut the fuck up, technically.

I always imagined her doing something cheeky like kissing his hand or cheek, since he never specified where

heh deffinetly Grog

The question that will forever live in Critical Role infamy. Possibly one of the top three most likely CR quotes to elicit an emotional reaction in a fellow fan; the others (arguably) being "We're practically gods" and, inversely, "And every day that raven comes to visit".

And "Fix him", "I wish I could've done more", "It's called diabetes", "the type of man I want to marry someday", "Hey, guys… We’re friends, right?" "Worse, family". Loads of great quotes.

This feels like the 'Offer me money' moment in Princess Bride except inside out-- a character who carries a joke isn't funny anymore because the joke has teeth in it. So good.

Don't forget "I should have told you, it's yours"

Matt D god that moment was VICIOUS

Eh. I thought it was childish. It felt like Percy was still trying to get one over on Scanlan. And that's just a dick move. I do believe Scanlan knew Sibil's name, he just want didn't want to play in Percy's game.

@@Hudson_Melpomene It's Percy. He has an ego and Scanlan knew this and didn't want to play into Percy.

@@scarlightemperor3410 And good on him for that. Though it's moments like that, that make me be less favorable towards Percy. I love all of them. But it just puts him lower.

@@Hudson_Melpomene He was a bit of a dick back then. He seems to have gotten over that part of his personality. I met him a couple times at conventions back in the day during LARPs, and he was a real prima donna, but I think he's gotten over himself.

Aldermeer The strength of being able to look back on every interaction with certain characters. Beautiful.

This one was actually the fastest one I've done. There aren't that many Kaylie-Scanlan scenes and most of them were fresh on my mind - also there was so much already logged on the wikia. And, you know, I had to filter my emotions into something ;)

I thought the same thing when I watched it. Vax/Keyleth didn't actually hear what Scanlan was saying. They just kept trying to make it about themselves when this had nothing to do with them at all and that really irked me.

Thanks! I'm thinking of doing another one - it's a great reason to rewatch some episodes.

Cool, I look forwards to it! :) Any hint as to the topic of your next video will be?

i understand it could take a long time to do so i understand if you dont want too

I'm still thinking about it. Not quite sure how to get all of that into a smaller, concise "main plot"-version, though. Maybe I'll do just the dragon parts, without the "how they got the vestiges" parts? But even editing those dragon fights down is going to be tough ... so, short answer: maybe?

That would depend on whether or not the players can separate what they know from what their characters know, which the critical role cast has proven they are capable of time and time again.
