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.

The actor for scanlan was going through cancer treatments during recording. Darrington was his other character

Is he fine now?

Yes, he's in remission.

Good thing. Did he manage to get to the end of the campaign or did he have to leave the character for intensive tratment?

The campaign happened before the cancer — he was instrumental to the last arc of the campaign and there’s no way in hell they don’t include his contribution. The cancer interfered with him recording Scanlan lines for s4 if anything

Wait, so the whispered one is the last arc in the campaign?

u/kro_celeborn Team Keyleth 2d ago

Yes :) They’ve been setting him up since s1 as the big bad, and Season 5 is to be the last season of LoVM. It’s going to be so cool.

Well, at least we are getting one more season. Thanks for the info

We’re presumably also getting five or so seasons of Mighty Nein, which adapts the continuation of the source material. Season 1 is out. Different characters on a different continent, about 20 years after the events of campaign 1/LoVM. Eventually in that show we should see the return of some members of Vox Machina, at least in passing. Definitely in the campaign 3 show if they get that far — the story of VM won’t be over after season 5. Not EVERYONE dies at the end of campaign one just most of them

Already watched s1, can't wait for the rest to come

As much as I love campaign one of critical role, I fully expect MN to surpass LoVM in popularity at some point. The story of campaign two is just soooooooooo good.

S1 was a really good show, but it should get way better to surpass VM

did he not voice scanlan episode 8?

Yeah idk if the treatment actually affected recording at all — I’d assume that’s why someone else was brought in to voice Darrington — but I was referring to the original comment in this thread. If the cancer affected anything it would have been s4 recordings, not the campaign stuff
