Legend of Vox Machina S2 - Table to Screen - Kaylie

[@bman296]

Now THIS is a proper punishment for bards who just sleep around

[@theflyingwelshman5338]

Seriously! I have to remember something like that if I ever get a chance to become DM.

[@Tcrumpen]

I think this is kinda the go-to punishment for "Hhorny bard" i'm playing one of those in a campaign fully aware that the DM is probably gonna have it so i've got like 6 love children and i'm all for it as the character was meant to be a cartoon as it were

[@eon1014]

The two words they fear the most: CHILD SUPPORT

[@Narokh]

I am not sure if attempted murder is the appropriate reaction. Might be a bit disproportionate.

[@kawiianimekitty7472]

I hate horny bards. I made a bard in a 3.5e character and he's only fucked on two separate occasions (the wizard has fucked more people than I can count and the ranger fucked around until she met a dragon who she married)

[@Matthimeo]

I loved the beat in the show of him guessing the wrong mother 😂

[@bessieburnet9816]

Ahh, the perfect cringe from that! Loved it!

[@Mediados]

That's the perfect subversion, in any other show it would have worked and she would have walked off. But this works so much better and is so much more on brand for Scanlan.

[@TieflingKumasi]

“You don’t know my mother’s name!” “B U R T ?”

[@ndo533]

It was so obvious yet so perfect 😂😂😭😭😭

[@rogue7723]

Yeah, I laughed at that one. I also liked how in the series Scanlan actually _acknowledged and felt guilt_ over his f*** up whereas in the campaign he was trying to weasel his way out of the blame.

[@slimchelmi6940]

the utter disbelief on marisha's face when she realizes what's going on

[@lanteanboy]

gotta love how most of the cast caught on when Kaylie mentioned her mother in the campaign and Sam finally realized when Matt said: "silver-tongued devil"

[@drakanion]

It's hilarious that Liam, the man who couldn't track down Larkin for a whole episode, figured it out within two seconds of Scanlan and Kaylie's convo. His face, when he looks at Laura at the beginning, he's like "wait a minute... what if..."

[@MollymaukT]

I do love the "I'M DADDY?!" line.

[@TheDictionaryDuck]

As soon as I saw the young woman in the show, I knew she had to be related to Scanlan, even without watching the campaign.

[@Nerd704]

They did an amazing job making her look EXACTLY LIKE HIM.

[@UchihaKat]

@@Nerd704 And then they put a pink hat on him to match the pink in her hair. It was eerie.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

So many clues: eye color, ear shape, nose shape, color of shirt and vest - and several frames of side by side to match details.

[@hithedragon7842]

Yeah, I did watch the campaign but I feel like I would have figured it out anyway, she looks exactly like him. Might not have guessed daughter specifically, but they definitely that they were related.

[@ztslovebird]

I was too dumb to notice. I thought maybe she was a bad guy in disguise. But once they revealed her parentage, it’s super obvious.

[@erkanifalla]

While the show did an admirable job with the time they had, I really wanted them to include Sam’s “ego” line! Not only is perfect characterization for Scanlan but also brilliant role playing whilst completely unprepared by Sam.

[@Giby86]

Sam is UNREAL at improv. The only guy I've ever seen leave him speechless is Will Friedle in the short-lived painting show that they did a few years ago.

[@stuarthutzler6670]

MINOR CAMPAIGN SPOILERS BELOW I feel like there's a chance they might pull that line in a later episode. They've already changed the pacing on their relationship a little from the stream, and I think it works for the show to have this first interaction not be a W and to have Kaylie not forgive Scanlan at all just yet. Maybe they'll save that line for something like right before VM goes to fight Thordak/Raishan.

[@DamZ1428]

@@stuarthutzler6670 Yeah I also thing they keep it for later so to have their relationship evolve, instead of just presenting a problem and solving right away. A bit similar with the relations between the twin and Syldor.

[@danielvictor3262]

I love what they did in the show because it's much more realistic than rolling a persuasion check and basically gaslighting her. He acknowledges his fuck-up and felt genuinely bad for it but had enough drive to become better. His child didn't acknowledge it at all and he was perfectly fine with it because mending utterly broken relationships like that takes time.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Well, maybe not completely unprepared. IIRC they mentioned later at Talks Machina that it was part of the backstory Sam gave for Scanlan that he had knocked up one of his many flings without knowing about it, so Sam did in general anticipate that Scanlan would find out at some time and get to explore the guilty father trope. Just the way Matt had her show up caught him by surprise.

[@furionmax7824]

I love how this entire scene gave us a sob story about SCANLANS love life before he started sleeping around big time only to sucker punch us all with a "that's not my mom's name!" I swear to God I went "ah shit" when that happened and started laughing until I cried.

[@gotenson2231]

I kept yelling "That's not her mom" the whole time for me

[@operative2136]

The thing that still gets me to this day, is watching the rest of the cast members struggle to contain their laughter during the reveal so they don't interrupt Matt.

"“Say you just found out you had a… a puppy... "

[@ericsmith1508]

In my memeory he never did a "voice" for Scanlan during the game. It's interesting to see these side-by-sides and hear just how much of a "voice" he actually did give to Scanlan in the live streams and how it's basically just his natural speaking voice in the animated series.

[@PattPlays]

man is a thespian

[@VDA19]

Yeah, Scanlan sounds way more smug in the show

[@mutantsandmemes]

I actually prefer his natural speaking voice for Scanlan as opposed the the posh and suave voice Sam originally used.

[@pwrdbyrce]

Yes, thank you! I asked on why Scanlan lost his "accent" for the animated show and they acted like I was nuts

[@sapphirekatty8730]

Funny that in campaign he remembered Kaylie's mom while in cartoon they set up A Bard's Lament so much they even threw almost his line about mother's name here by Kaylie as well. And I hope they gonna put "among my many faults, ego is certainly one of them, and knowing you’re part of me makes me love you even more" in cartoon, it's such a good line. They for sure gonna meet in Marquet after all since there's should be a scene where she forgive him and he promises her not to die.

[@TPBurrow]

Yeah I think your right, Its too good not to use it, they have harvested the best morsels for us already, they know what we want. Marquet is going to be so much, fun, do you spice?

[@ohiomoon1813]

I really hope they don't just skip over Taryon's involvement and Scanlan dipping for a year to be with his daughter.

[@chosenuwu]

[@jekyle1980]

How the HELL does Matt deliver this dialogue without cracking up or breaking character?!?

[@ohiomoon1813]

I'll say it's a million times easier when the players are going along with you and not interrupting, joking around, etc and letting the scene play out and the other player directly involved, Sam in this instance, is as into it as you are. Regardless, even with all that, it's still very impressive

It was done even better in the show imo. A bit more obvious with a visual resemblance between them but truly shows how prepared she was to kill him Edit: I’ve come around that the stream version was better in character growth wise, but it was really funny in the moment of the show, watching the scene play out and knowing where it was heading

[@adddash8637]

I didn't like it as much tbh. I feel binding him took away from Scanlan refusing to fight her and telling her to kill him, and also the fact that he was almost naked was not great for me

OG for me. Animation has taken out and mixed up too much. The talk during the stream they had today mentioned how the animation had taken out quite a bit of canon which always sucks.

[@Mediados]

@@tovahwulf I think all the changes work better because it makes more sense from a storytelling perspective.

[@lololo]

Oooo, it's so interesting to finally see how it went down in the campaign! Always heard about it, never saw it. A bard getting their consequences. Aaaah, I've always wanted to watch Sam and the other's reactions as it played out and did not disappoint!!!!

[@AleksandrStrizhevskiy]

wow I am amazed Sam Riegel came up with that on the spot. It's one thing in the show where everything is pre-written and recorded 10 times over. Seeing him come up with that speech just then and there is remarkable.

[@hollyzandstra4413]

I've watched the campaign but my friend hasn't, so while watching the show together they were wondering what Kaylie's deal was, if she was an ex etc. It wasn't until they watched me bodily cringe at the 'daddy' line they figured it out.

I laughed when he said it, and that was enough for my wife to figure it out. The irony of that line was perfection.

[@MINTY_FN]

I think it's interesting how different Sam's Scanlan voice is during Critical Role vs LoVM.

[@bessieburnet9816]

Yeah, it really is.

[@manband20]

I can't help but wonder if it was because he went from trying to sound a lot more prim and proper in the game (he kind of has this flourish to his voice that you'd hear from the stereotypical upperclassman) vs. a more obvious/kinda sorta generic "I'm a comedy character" voice that we hear more of when he voices Nott/Veth in C2. Not saying Scanlan was a generic comedy character, but I also think they're saving the "flourishy accent" for some other absolutely pathetic schlub that Sam might be forced to voice act for in future episodes (wink wink nudge nudge)

[@Mezmero]

And then his voice gets even more different for Grog’s One-Shot.

[@Giby86]

I can't wait for the show to get to the point where this whole plotline pays off. To whomever arrived at Critical Role with the show...first of all WELCOME, it's great to have you! and secondly...you ain't see noooothing yet.

[@davidhfranz]

In the original campaign, Scanlan meeting Kaylee happens in the episode before the Conclave attacks.

[@madelyn1758]

i know they had to condense things for the show, but i've always loved how it worked out that scanlan found someone to care about... immediately before the world fell apart. he didn't know where kaylie was or how she was doing for weeks. it added a lot of stakes to their already emotionally charged relationship and really challenged scanlan to question his values

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

Wtf a Bard actually having consequences for their actions? What kind of sorcery is this?!

[@David-ob1jc]

Just recently had another check in with my DM about my character. Pretty much created a loose backstory, and told him I’m open to whatever the role playing improv and roles has in store, and he can put whatever in my path and development story as much as he wants. Just touched base after a few sessions to say “I think my character has this secret background, have fun dropping hints if that mystery to us whenever you feel like it” IMO this is what makes DND fun and unique.

[@cinechef]

The great success of critical role is due mostly to the creativity of Matthew and his skills as DM and also due to the capacity of the players to act accordingly to the true nature of their characters. It's incredible to see how involving his stories are and how much mind fucks he can produce during the game with the backstories of the characters. I remember that I stopped playing D&D in the past when I was young, due to moving cities and never finding anymore a DM that would inspire me to be 12-18 hours every weekend at a table playing. Long life to critical role. Can´t wait to see the next season and the might nein reign next.

[@Mexiturtle345]

I love how they did this in the animated show a lot. Captured the essence of what he said in the campaign by having Scanlan spin a story about a gnomish woman he fell in love with only for it not to be Kaylee's mother. Just gut punching.

[@Logan_Baron]

Note to other DMs. It's almost never a good idea to bring a pregnancy or characters child in without their express agreement even when it seems likely as they are playing the horny bard. This is a case of Matt as a superior DM and friend that knows Sam would be able to go with this, along with the great chance for story telling and character developement.

[@roberto-ita]

"Don't try this at home" :D

[@emersonpage5384]

You should also not allow a player to be playing a bard that horny without the agreement of everyone at the table

[@bman296]

Look if they wanna play that type of character so be it. However, I'd also warn them it'll be a possibility if they ain't careful.

[@ladyhella7560]

May I know your reason to why?

[@marauderdz]

@@ladyhella7560Probably because you're essentially retconning the player's backstory, and not everyone is okay with that.

Roughly starting around 2:32, I love the realization that appears on each group member's face when Kaylei's father is slowly revealed, and that Travis (Grog) is the last to get it🤣🤣🤣

[@martophrenia]

as per usual the scene in the show is much shorter and with a bit of a different outcome overall I prefer the campaign one (because Sam is just so quick on the feet), however I do like that they gave Kaylie a bit more agency in the show. In the campaign it felt like Scanlan just won her over by his speech and a very high (granted with the advantage, but Scanlan had high persuasion anyway) roll, in the show it seems like Kaylie actually open to some kind of relationship, she just wants to see some actions first.

[@Gredran]

So I wondered if the backstory that Sam gave Matt was simply “he’s a bard so he sleeps around. Do what you want with that” and he’s surprised at the table. But recently when they reacted to this in the animated show, he actually revealed that Scanlan is supposed to be Eminem, Dr. Dranzel is a play obviously on Dr. Dre, and therefore Kaylie is a play on Eminem’s daughter’s name Hailey. So if that’s the case, he acted the shock well at the table if he knew before then lol

[@Anonymous_Individual]

Sam didn’t plan for Kaylie to exist, that was all Matt’s doing. He probably just rolled with the inspiration.

[@ittyandpocky]

In the watch along they did tonight Matt said he didn’t know about the Eminem inspiration and just made Kaylie without Sam knowing it was coming. It just worked out that Kaylie rhymed with Hailey.

[@andreawww]

Funny enough When matt was on it for the last 3 Episodes it came out he didn't get that it was that way with Scanlan and he was surprised at the Campaign Wrap Up Episode when that came out. Funny enough The name kayle was by pure accident, where as Sam thought it was by purpose xD

[@PorkinsTheWhite]

A friend had a similar situation where his character slept around both in game and before. So one night the character was poisoned and paralyzed and was almost killed by his own son. Wasn’t as funny as this scene but we still give him grief to this day.

[@zictruswow]

anyone knows if these episodes are on Spotify? i can only find Kraghammer for vox machina

[@Veloziraptor111]

Decent scene, but there were a couple of things I liked better in the stream compared to the show. For one, I preferred that Scanlan wasn't bound in the stream. It gave more weight to his character, with him refusing to fight Kaylee and being ready to just allow her to kill him. As opposed to being tied up and at her mercy, he knows he could use any one of his abilities to defend himself and incapacitate her easily, but he accepts his death if it will give her peace. That's a major step for someone who up until that point was probably the most selfish and cowardly character in the group. And the second thing is the speech. My god, Sam was amazing, coming up with a speech like that on the spot. And it is completely in-character for Scanlan too. One of the things that the show has done a poor job of showcasing is his charisma. Scnalan is a joker, yes, and always one ready with a crude pun in his pocket, and the show displayed that in abundance, but Scanlan is not JUST that. He is also ridiculously charming and persuasive (on account of his 20 Charisma score), and Sam knows how to play it, but the show almost never translated that to screen. Including this time. That speech would have been the perfect opportunity to showcase that particular side of Scanlan that until this point has been missing from the show. To replace that earnest speech with "I'm DADDY?!" and then a long segment of him weaving a story about her mother only for it to turn out to have been the wrong one, while funny, was nowhere near as impactful. Again, it turns one of Scanlan's most prominent serious moments into more of a joke, which is a major miss for me.
