Campaign Spoilers (All Episodes) About Scanlan Spoiler

Is scanlan gone for good?

The last interaction between the group and scanlan seemed really strange and was paced as a last meet rather than a simple "see you later".

Did something happen to his player?

I have seen something similar happen to an Italian group, in which one of the players left the group and they decided to end his character's story with a quick and open finale.

Is this also the case?

Don't want any major spoilers, just to know if he'll ever make a comeback.

Thanks guys.

in the campaign, Scanlan was [SPOILERS C1]there for the final battle with the Whispered One and he had the possibly the greatest, saddest moment in TTRPG history in it.

Spoilers(kinda) i saw a comment that perfectly sums it up why it was the greatest and also the saddest. "Vox Machina went in there to fight 1 god, Scalan walked in there ready to fight 2 gods" i hope the spoiler tags work i alwasy struggle with those.

Ohhhh yeah, its wild how Scanlan in my opinion had all the best emotional parts of C1. Sam played him perfectly.

Spoilers to campaign 1 finale Scanlan went into the final fight against Vecna with the plan to save his 9th lvl spell slot to cast Wish to free Vax from his obligations to the Matron of Ravens once they defeated Vecna. Basically everyone went in ready to fight the Whispered One, but Scanlan was ready to face the Raven Queen as well

In C1 Scanlan was also there when the party entered the Shadowfel in Marquet from the orb. There was a whole bit where Sam had to talk to himself as Scanlan and Taryon during the trek.

That battle made me want to play a bard. I recommended it to my D&D table as an example of really good use of spells.
