I loved the connection Laura drew between Vex finding out about Scanlan's drug problem to her hiding the cards from Grog. Her realization that their relationship with Scanlan fell apart due to lack of openness and trust and finding a way to right that wrong with Grog was such an endearing and emotionally mature moment of growth for Vex. Bravo to Laura for finding that storyline tether.

Really loved the small thing Percy did at the end of episode 85 that was similar. Percy is so used to lying to get himself away from uncomfortable situations and before they resurrected Scanlan, Grog asked if there were any brothels in Whitestone, on a history check he did know of one but didn’t tell Grog. After Scanlan departed he shared that information with him and apologized for his approach to things with him.

I know I'm super late to the party, but it's also fascinating that Vax almost immediately recognized that as the problem. The minute Scanlan left the room, Vax sent straight to "I don't want any more of this to build, let's put our hearts on our sleeves." And ironically, Vex is the first one to be upset by this, saying they already talk too much, despite her being quick to do as Vax suggested not long after.

To be honest, after I watched and stopped around this same point before finally DM’ing my own game and coming back now. Not only am I so impressed with his performance as Grog, Marishia’s performance as Keyleth is top-tier. She kept it up despite all the hate. If you don’t believe me, watch how fast she picks up things like “boulder, paper, shears” and flips that into a sincere-sounding character expression. Or that dust bowl ad Sam had them read and she’s the only one that, despite complaining, picked it up ultra fast, reading as she went IN ACCENT!

My favourite things about Sam in this is his little subtle jabs that Tary makes without knowledge but Sam knowing how much this will irk the party; Vex is a little elf girl, Percy won't understand the complexities of a golem and, my personal favourite, Doty being a huge lumbering tank WHO CAN WRITE AND READ unlike our lovely illerate Grog. Sam is, without a doubt, the best character performer and so intricate in his storytelling, he's just too good, I'm in awe 🧡

And I love the fact that the party is initially annoyed with him for having a generally happy life and stable upbringing. "A good education? You suck. Recourses available whenever he needed them? This guy's a jerk. Both your parents are alive? Screw you man." He's triggering the "I'm better because my life is harder" complex and it's such a delightful cringy train wreck.

Percy: "I haven't been on a ship sinc-- Oh, my, yeah..." The last time he was on a ship was after he escaped Whitestone when he threw himself into the river and thought Cassandra was killed. He awoke on a ship after and drifted for a while in whatever traumatic state he was in. Probably not the most pleasant of memories. Then after when he says he isn't feeling great about taking an airship and would rather a boat its because the airship appreciation was something he shared with Scanlan and given the recent events he'd rather a boat than an airship because it just wouldn't be the same without him. =\

I love that Grog is just the best friend even when Scanlan isn't around, quite rightfully objecting to them intending to incredibly disrespectfully invade his privacy on a whim when he in no uncertain terms wanted some time apart from them, feeling belittled, disrespected and unwanted. Grog listens and Grog at least does his best to understand.

I think everyone else besides Pike, Scanlan, and Grog has hero complex where they think that they are always right and are responsible for everyone's wellbeing. Vax is desperate to sacrifice himself for everyone. Vex tries to micromanage everybody's actions. Keyleth thinks that she always has the moral high ground. Percy thinks he is the only one who can make smart decisions. Grog just wants a buddy to pummel people with.

I never saw it that way, either. The party was so thoroughly heartbroken over his death that I nearly teared up, as well. The prank seemed like wild relief over his survival, something that would enable them to laugh together and shrug off the horror. It backfired terribly because they had no way of knowing that Scanlan wanted to move away from that careless person disrespecting anyone and anything that he had been since he kept deflecting all their concerns, and so him geting into drugs semmed merely as Scanlan being Scanlan and experimenting with one more depravity. In between all the struggles to save the world and the prospects of their own deaths constantly hanging overhead, little wonder they didn't see the signs for what they were. In real life, such things happen all the time, and definitely not because people wouldn't care.

@@ClericOfPholtus I also don't understand this. Vex contributes to negotiations and planning, but no more than anyone else, and a lot of the time her suggestions have to be corrected because Laura forgets crucial details. The party doesn't have a leader, but honestly Percy was pretty much the de facto leader up until Taliesen decided to try and backstab Raishan as an incredibly foolish unilateral decision, which made him lose confidence and put Percy more in the background. The party deferred to Percy's judgement most of the time, which generally worked out well, and Vax even called him the leader a couple times. And it made sense because among the party Percy is the Brains. Vex was never the leader, and neither was Scanlan, who probably contributed to planning just a little bit more than Grog. He was just the point-man on a lot of charisma-checks, but even those are typically split between whomever is the most appropriate for the situation at hand. (Again, Percy's handled an awful lot of them because it made sense for his character.) Vex made that comment because she misses him and is mentally overcompensating because he didn't feel like he was useful or important in the group, but it doesn't mean she's actually right, because she's not. All of them have taken the lead at some point or another, but none of them are "The Leader."

Scanlan was clearly useful to the team and they acknowledged that - he was the MVP more often anyone in the group. They could have been more inquiring into his past, because even the clown needs to take off his makeup sometimes. But it's not like he was at all forthcoming about that.

For the longest time I was torn between really enjoying Scanlan/Sam, and finding him downright creepy. It wasn't until I caught the very beginnings of Campaign 2 with Nott that I was able to distinguish just how much of his performance while they play is Sam, and how much is the character he's inhabiting for the evening. Sam really is terrific. And let's not take an actor's skill for granted; everyone at the tables for CritRole are actors, but not everyone maintains character as thoroughly as some, nor as consistently. Sam is the kind of performer who I think many people confuse the lines between the performer and the character because he blurs them so thoroughly, while most of the other players slip back and forth between their true selves and their characters more often (which is fine, it's game night for a bunch of friends, but we as viewers don't know any of them well enough to recognize the difference without lengthy exposure and, frankly, effort or perhaps simply interest).

That does feel like a matter of practicality for the Nein. They were a pretty paranoid bunch, and sleeping in an invulnerable sphere is pretty mind-easing. They were all too happy to spread out into their own presidential suites once Caleb could make a tower.

Dwayne Cox There is a difference between the two. Keynen was overconfident and eager to do a good thing, yet know experience. Tarion is very egocentric and pompous (as clearly by design, gotta love Sam‘s master plan here) and he gets to them only hours after Scanlan left. So I would not say they don’t in that regard.

I mean to be fair (insert letterkenny reference here) they’re planning on taking taryon to the 9 hells. They needed to know if he was capable. The fact he’s a douche was just icing on the cake. With Kynan they pretty much already knew he couldn’t keep up with them therefore testing him was a game to Vax at the time which he later regretted.

This action is not justify able you wana be dicks fine be dicks but you don't get too justify your dickish actions as being for someone else's benefit once you realise that your messing arround might have gone far. Hazing is a horrible thing, no matter how you justify a joke is one thing but almost getting someone killed is another. They wanted to test him? Ask him to show them what they got do a spar he would have prolly loved it but the rogue getting a suprise round on the guy especially when he has been nothing but forthright is just mean especially when the said person has clearly been out right with its like if someone tells you they don't know how to swim properly and are learning and pushing them literally into the deepest end of the pool without any warning to later say we did it to help you. Jesus the worst part isn't even the hazing, you haze someone weaker then you sure, but you don't get to justify that hazing by saying that's what gona happen later and I will protect you then, this fucking hasn't known you for more then a day and you almost killed him. You wana be self aware assholes then own up to being assholes not this bullshit jeesus -. - Agaaaain talk abt the characters not the players.Becsuse if this how they characters would act in such a situation then said characters are indeed assholes and being self-aware assholes makes you much worse and makes scanlan leaving all the more sense.

Scanlan actively avoided talking about his past with the group. Sam obviously decided to do the opposite with Tary. So you could argue that he was the one who learned his own lesson - Scanlan always seemed to be hiding some long rich history, one we'll probably never hear about because Sam had played his cards too close to his chest.

to Bryan Woods: Remember, Vox Machina asked Scanlan questions as well, especially when the plot made it relevant (e.g. whenever Dr. Dre was around). Scanlan always brushed them off with vague non-answers. As for their very first meeting, unfortunately we weren't there for that.
