    About The Legend of Vox Machina Season 1:
    They're rowdy, they're ragtag, they're misfits turned mercenaries for hire. Vox Machina is more interested in easy money and cheap ale than actually protecting the realm. But when the kingdom is threatened by evil, this boisterous crew realizes that they are the only ones capable of restoring justice. What began as a simple payday is now the origin story behind Exandria’s newest heroes.
    About The Legend of Vox Machina Season 2: The Chroma Conclave Strikes! The dragon's evil spreads it's shadow across all of Tal'Dorei- can Vox Machina stop them before it engulfs the world?!?

      not true. They've been apart for thousands of years, Scanlan gave him the greatest gift he could ever ask for before dying. He saw a projection of her, which is no different than seeing a photo. Something that doesn't really exist in their world. So yes, he got to see her before he died.
      The real hurt comes from the fact that Osysa doesn't know he's gone, and that telling Vox Machina where the first vestige was which would tell them where Mythcarver was in turn would mean that she's indirectly the reason he died.

      I love that he gets called out for never being sincere, but as soon as his friends are gone he lets his vulnerable side show. It's something a lot of people can relate to, and instantly gives Scanlan far more depth that had only been implied up to this point. Looking forward to seeing how Scanlan grows in the future, there's a lot to work with from the streams.

    This is why Scanlan Shorthalt is one of the best characters of the show. He not only finally reveals his deepest feelings to another person, but he thinks outside of the box to defeat Kamalijori with the thing he knows best: music. Everyone else does a frontal attack against the sphinx, but Scanlan is the one who pulls off the unexpected when the others only saw the physical pain as the solution. Scanlan's choice to reach out to Kamalijori's emotional pain proved how he was truly as wise as Kamalijori said he was.

This scene perfectly represents what Scanlan is and how he’s seen: he has amazing potential and within him there is a great deal of wisdom and power but every time he demonstrates it the party is not present (both in his duel with the Duke and here) so they never acknowledge his sincerity and he simply conforms into the idea they’ve made of him

      Scanlan/Sam were the most clutch, intelligent and tactical in the campaign, the only reason Grog/Travis weren't is because grog had an intelligence of 3 and Travis roleplayed that to perfection. Scanlan's duke fight portrayal in the show doesn't do it justice at all, I'm fairly sure u can find a video of how it went on the table. They had to tone it down because of how unbelievable it was.

      Sam played into the "bards are useless" trope. Bards are badass and masters of control, but don't look it
      My current campaign is a great example. I'm playing an orc barbarian. He respects power and can't understand why we keep the guy with a lute around.
      The barb takes damage, the rogue kills fast, the cleric keep us alive and the paladin leads the fights. We also got some guy playing music 30 feet away from the actual fight...

And even though he was able to give an incredible performance about love, he understands that it is something that still eludes him and genuinely wants to have. It's heartwarming to see an entity like Kami recognize the potential that lies within the gnome bard.

Not only does it show Scanlan's character development, it also shows a phenomenal way to combine amazing roleplaying skills with casting a spell.

    Is it so strange that a short song, no matter how many times its played over and over again, evokes such a powerful feeling? I honestly don't think it would be so strong without knowing their story.

    One of my favorite scenes in anything ever. So many layers make up how good it is. The unexpected solution Scanlan comes up with. Knowing it's Sam singing and being blown away by how good it sounds. How touching it is. The added humor afterwards when Scanclan and Kam are chilling. So many more parts of it too. Just excellent.

    A cool historical fact to notice is that Egyptian Sphinxes are usually portrayed male while Greek Spinxes being female, and you can see this with Kamaljiori and Osysa's designs!

      at this point, Scanlan has a bit of an inferiority complex. He talks big, and knows he can get things done by himself, but when he compares himself to the rest of the party he feels.....lacking to himself. Grog is a giant, intimidating, hard to kill fighting machine. Vex is an archer who flies around the battlefield raining down hordes of arrows, Keyleth has shown she has the skill to master the power of an elemental plane of existence for examples. While poor Scanlan feels he is the small bard who has a few minor tricks up his sleeve when he is the one to pull the party out of the fire and back into the frying pan a lot of the time, giving his amazing friends the chances they need to shine and put the fire out.
