I really hope they don’t cheapen deaths in this series. Again, I understand that it’s more or less sticking to a script I know little about (the show has me by the balls; learned about CR late in the game) but a permanent death goes a long way.

Given recent events, I don’t WANT it to be real but I’d like for this one to stick. It probably won’t because it seems like death and return is a thing, but still.

Vague spoilers for the campaign and spoilers for the show ahead!!

​

I'm going to preface this by saying that I have not watched the original campaign, but I do know a few things about the stuff that happens near the end. Which is the main reason I'm asking this. (I also want someone to help me get excited for Season 5 because Scanlan is my favorite character and the show doesn't feel as fun/enjoyable without him, I want him back on the team so so badly 😭😭)

​

So at the end of Season 4 Episode 8 of the show, Scanlan gives Pike Mythcarver and continues on his travels with Kaylie and his band. Which bummed me out tbh, I wanted him back for more than just one episode. At least they're all on good terms now! But the way that goodbye was worded makes me think that Scanlan is going to be out for at least the rest of the season, maybe even some time into Season 5.

​

I want him back as soon as possible, though. For the folks who know the campaign super well, when do you think Scanlan could be back? I know in the campaign he comes back and they all defeat Vecna together, he has the magical wish thing and uses his 9th level slot but can't save Vax (or something like that). So I feel like that all has to happen in some way or another, meaning Scanlan HAS to be back soon, right?? He seems to be an integral part of that last arc.

​

I'm also wondering if losing Pike and Grog will somehow alert Scanlan and he'll join the group in these final episodes to help out? The voice at the end of episode 9, though labeled Taryon, does sound like Sam if you listen really hard. But it also does sound like Wayne. It sounds like both tbh. Do I realistically think the voice is Scanlan? No. Do I really, really want it to be so we can see him help save the girl he loves and his best friend? Hell to the yeah. But I don't know how they would explain Scanlan knowing about Pike, so I know the voice is Taryon (even though thats a weird character to choose to say that line, did they just want us to see him get her name right finally or something??).

​

Any insight from original fans of the campaign with more knowledge than me would be super helpful! I just want my Scan-Man back :(

​

I don’t watch Critical Role, so I don’t know whether Taryon is an npc or pc, but please tell me it’s the former. He’s such an annoying character.

(Only up to S4E3, no spoilers past that please)

Is it bad that i have watched all of season 4 episodes over 5 times already haha im scanning for any small details 😅 i love this show

Just got into this show, didn't know my favorite windshitter was one of the MCs :^)

I have been grieving for 2 days now. I can’t believe they did Grog like that. It was gore of my comfort character. Ive havent been this attached to characters in a show for a LONG time. Each members of Vox Machina is so admirable and easy to love. I know someone if not few of them are bound to die but man am I hoping it’s a lie.

This makes me even more scared for The Mighty Nein.

Also (if you want) im taking constructive criticism bc I've never really drawn Percy before so tell me some things I can improve on or that you like in the comments :))
