[@masonguthrie1257]

@@gabebernhard4601eh while I think Robbie really hit his stride now in his second set of episodes. When he first started it was clear he was still new and this is one of his first characters if not his first. Which is totally fine and everyone starts somewhere but at least to me Dorian lacked a lot of direction in general. However Robbie has always been super enjoyable to see at the table. Now that being said with the last episodes of the crownkeepers as much as some people dislike how it was done it really gave Dorian some motivation and a strong connection to the story and just looking at Dorian in the first 10 episodes and looking at him now there was a huge shift and a lot of credit goes to Robbie and how much he has grown as a player. Overall I really hope he stays and am really interested in seeing what he would create next.

You can be deeply in love with someone and still have extremely hurtful and toxic behaviors. Scanlan is a perfect example of this.

[@virgo.mp4]

at 4:15:39 scanlan says that goblins are cool which at first seems like nothing but if you remember when we originally left the group in C1 he told them his mother was killed by a goblin. love the character growth, and the party said he didn’t grow over their time apart ❤️

[@volrathsstronghold]

perhaps time for Bard's Lament part 2 😁

[@j0kerclash289]

Honestly, I was never the biggest fan of scanlan, but after seeing him here, he's probably the healthiest, genuine hero of the lot. The others fell into the old habit of ripping on Scanlan as soon as they saw him, talked shit about him like he was a douche that they reluctantly needed, and when they actually found him, he's just a chill dude broadening his horizons and acting on a criticism his ex wife gave him because he wants to be better for her, while she drinks in a tavern trying to spike people's drinks and is reluctant to even speak to him despite the fact Vax needs saving. You'd think they'd learn their lesson after he first left, but it seems the only one who actually reflected and improved on their flaws was Scanlan. Side note, Kiki got more jaded which is probably better for her personal growth oddly enough.

[@mutantsandmemes]

@@j0kerclash289 love this insight. Scanlan is definitely a character who continues to grow, yet not in the eyes of his peers unfortunately. I think because he's often the hardest of Vox Machina to reach (minus Vax), the group tends to remember him only as he was; and immature f-boy who's only good for a laugh. But as you say, he's actively trying to improve on his flaws instead of disregarding them. Pike told him he has no spirit, and what does he do? Plan a months long road trip to try and find the spirit that he was told he lacked *for her.* Scanlan's a good hearted man and a genuine hero.

[@morriganwhittler2567]

The detail I noticed is that Scanlan now has 8 Wisdom, rather than 6.

[@janehundson2973]

​@@j0kerclash289 I agree with you. Also, I personally didn't like how relationship between Pike and Scanlan evolved. In C1 Pike never treated him badly (except the episode where he returned, but in that moment I understand her feelings of anger), she always respected him and treated him with affection, despite not reciprocating his advances at the beginning. In truth I don't remember that any of the others ever treated him badly, in fact they were surprised, as well as hurt, by Bard Lament. And even though I personally am not a fan of their divorce, at least in Tal'dorei Reborn they were doing well, they met regularly every summer, spend time together and sometimes even sleep together. Here, however, neither of them is doing well, perhaps Scanlan is the one who fared better (at least he is traveling with a close-knit group). It is implied that Pike is not coping well with the breakup, has let herself go, is depressed, insecure about her looks and fears that Scanlan is fucking with other people and doesn't want to funk her anymore. It's a somewhat disheartening portrait of Pike.

Or could just wander off and start doing the "correct" thing, instead of having to actually convince the others of things as an equal.

I would guess, based on things Matt has said before, that it's a bit of an Avengers/MCU situation. If there's a big enough threat why _wouldn't_ some of the most powerful heroes show up? Now, how you go about doing that is a struggle. These heroes are the characters of all the people at the table, and there's limits to how much Matt wants to play those characters back at their players (I've done it, it's a cool but intimidating thing to do). So I think he just eventually told them that, and asked if they were game to try something a little crazy. Funny thing is, when it comes to role playing multiple characters, it's not that hard (so long as you accept that some are going to stand back from the action a bit as players focus on one over the other). It's managing the mechanics of twice as many PC's that's more tricky.

Scanlan, when asked if he had the earring, says "of course". Like it's just natural for him to have some link to his friends despite ghosting them Grog already trying to steal from Percy's private collections. Keyleth losing pretense and being awkward and longwinded with everyone before Vex intercepts with a prompt plan. Grog / Travis directing the team to the most obvious direction VM has to go in and playing it off as dumb Percy being an *sshole yet secretly still being a fan of Scanlan.

It was fun for him to learn the game while being ignorant both out of game and in-game, and play for just kicks and kills. Says so much about the way his love and enjoyment of the game with how far he's come... making multiple chars for this campaign, delving into the mechanics and vigorous note taking and excitment about lore drops... he's developed such a strong love for the game!! So much fun to see that growth and appreciation. But also says so much about Matt's story telling because you can see how much travis (and all of them really) have developed so much game love because of it.

This is it. I started with campaign 1 last year and I'm finally caught up with all 3 campaigns! I got to the into on Thursday but realized I had to be a Monday crew. Too late at night for me

Do you know there are 2 rebroadcasts on Friday on twitch, that are free without subscription? I love our Monday crew, but if you want to see the episodes earlier, you can.

@@cthomsen4 the first rebroadcast is 5 hours after the original broadcast. The second rebroadcast is 9 hours after the first rebroadcast (=14 h after the original broadcast on Thursday)

[@Axandrela]

As someone who wanted to strangle my DM whenever he'd make me play 2 characters in one session (which was frustratingly common since it was the leader of a rogues guild and the captain of the city guard) I am blown away by the fact that EVERYONE was able to play 2/3 characters for the entire 4h session with minimal confusion. Like I understand that they're actually professional D&D players by now, but dang...

Sam as Scanlan continues to be the gift that keeps giving

[@JoeGrzzly]

I'm so glad I noticed during my current rewatch of Vox Machina that Robbie Daymond voices Cerkonos in the show, so when they suggested seeing if Cerkonos should join the team, I realized immediately that that's who he would be playing for on Vox Machina's team.

Robbie casts Force Cage in game during combat, then whoever decided the Halloween theme was like: "That's a great idea. I cast 'Forced Cage' on the group." Is that what happened here?
