I love how this went down in the original session - with Scanlan essentially failing a stealthy recon of the manor, then successfully burning the entire thing to the ground basically by accident.
@@rory8182 In the game, Scanlan was pretty much juking the entire squad and while pressured, he was never under duress. The final battle ended with Scanlan blasting him off the roof with no issue. It was a one man show of how circumstances can favor the bold if you are creative enough. If you've watched the campaign, Scanlan more or less is the star of the campaign in how inventive he can be in the face of whatever is thrown his way. He's not invincible, but he has the most tricks in the party.
@@rory8182 Episode 31 of Vox Machina over on Geek and Sundry, it’s the opening bit of that episode. About 40 minutes of Scanlan just creating absolute chaos.
@Pap DM because it's true. Wanna get good in bed ? Go to the brothel and ask your hooker to teach you how to be better. Do it several time. Don't forget to use protection of course.
At first i thought that scanlan was going to shit himself. But then i thought he was going to puke. But when he spat out fire, i was literally like "huh. A dragon potion". I literally said that.
And because UA-cam wouldn't let me. Originally posted a video on a dummy account before I let it go live and it was going to get a copyright strike so I had to Had to edit it out
I'm guessing he learned it from leveling up and they just used a spellscroll as a storytelling device -- because it should have disintigrated when he used it the first time.
@@BouncingTribbles Thing is though that Scanlan is a Bard not a Wizard. He can cast but can't learn a spell from a scroll, and casting it would have destroyed it when he tried it earlier (when he turned into a frog). So my thinking is that the scroll is just a plot device to explain why he knows Polymorph.
0:46 to 0:54 when i first saw this i thought that he was going to bring all the animals in that room back from the dead. PS: this was the one song that i actually liked. IT could have been a good song
So magic bard tyrion Vs a blueish Sendor Clagane(Hound). Listen to his voice. The way he screams about fire, even the burning mark on his face later is like the Hound's. Very smart
scanlan is lowkey OP he beats a duke of whitestone, almost killing him. and burnt down his manor he was the last one standing against the sphyinx, and he beat it's riddle and he solo's a dragon, the other party members help but scanlan just wrecks it. how does the joke character have some of the best feats?
Thank Sam Riegel. He actually plans his moves ahead of time. Some of it is dumb luck though like when Scanlan killed King Murghol in the campaign even though the way he does it would’ve been nice to see in the show.
Started with Ghost Sound in the street, to distract the guards at the gate. Then Potion of Blink, Potion of Reduce Person, Potion of Fire Breathing, and Scroll of Polymorph as he worked his way through the mansion. Finishing off with Bigby's Hand and Lightning Bolt during the fight on the roof. It's a bit different from how it was played in the original campaign, but the essentials are there.
Stats are provided for dinosaurs, but it's up to the DM to decide whether, where, and why they're included in the campaign world. Typically, there's some sort of "lost continent" with dinosaurs, savages, and whatnot.
I love how this went down in the original session - with Scanlan essentially failing a stealthy recon of the manor, then successfully burning the entire thing to the ground basically by accident.
The even funnier thing is that this is a dramatized fight. He did WAY BETTER in the game than he did here.
@@machdude3366 how much better could he have done?

Dude didn't go to brothels for pleasure, he was simply training his magic wand

@Pap DM because entendre.
Cough Cough) 7_7
Is the brothel where he got the uh “object” from here? 😂😂 0:33
Aw, he was doing _so_ epic until he fumbled that exit... XD
Classic scanlan. Task failed sucsessfuly Somehow
And no one but us know what he did canonically
The fact that he held out that long from using _that_ much magic, is impressive.
Well, he only a person I would fuck up that exit too.
At least everyone there was already *DEAD* ....So nobody could kf witnessed is screw up.
A word of advise. Just because someone is good at telling jokes, doesn't mean they aren't also good at delivering punchlines.
Who are you advising?
Anyone.
I see what you did there. 😏
Agree. This show has such great actors but somehow the deliveries are so awkward. It could be the bad script writing
And..... the people in the replies missing joke are.....
The ONLY time an innuendo can be badass.
Never thought I'd see someone swordfight with a giant middle finger. Just when you think you've seen it all.
Elden ring did a ring finger
Welcome to Critical Role
At first i thought that scanlan was going to shit himself. But then i thought he was going to puke. But when he spat out fire, i was literally like "huh. A dragon potion". I literally said that.
Fire shitting would have worked as well. Not particularly useful in that direction as a distraction.
Ok, the way he spewed out flames was just disgusting like he was puking stream of flames
I read the first sentence and couldn’t stop wheezing-
A Sword vs a MIddle Finger never knew i'd see it
But sadly irl bye bye finger😅
Yeah. It's not something to brag about, though. Funny as hell.
Only in dnd
Scanlan is consistently the. Most badass party member. First he solos a duke of whitestone, then he solos a dragon.
I didn't watch the thing but. . . He's probably a bard- Please don't tell me he solos the dragon *the bard* way
@@namelessarcuve he has just enter in the dragon and use his big sword...
Wait not like that
Sorta like that
@@namelessarcuve he does it the Scanlan way hahaha
@@Lugon-Hirn he doesnt have a big sword... he sorta has a cube situation, you know 1x1 inches
A singer, playboy and a pretty good fighter…… he is the legendary gnome that inspires all the small people
Gnom! But yeah he is pretty badass. ^^
Don't forget his good looks and him being a good musician too, who does gets several girls.
He’s not just that. He is THE Bard. No exceptions.
@@elijahhayter3026 I second this.
The ultimate Short King
"I turn… into a triceratops."
And the rest is history.
2:23 That is the face of a man thinking "I can't believe I was just defeated by that guy......"
He’s propped up as a merciless hunter, of course he’d be embarrassed.
Flying away on a giant middle finger is extremely hilarious
Dude, it's a literal flying fuck
God I love Scanlan. Seriously one of my favorite D&D characters ever. His story was amazing.
Scanlan. The only character who can make comedic fighting badass.
jackie chan
Literally all of jackie chan's roles
He turned into a goddamn triceratops
I kinda forgot they existed in fantasy games
Yes he did
classic scanlan. Task failed sucsessfuly
Despite all his perversions, Scanlan is still my favorite
What do you mean "despite" ?
@@szylaj Eh, it seemed like the right thing to say. Personally, I like the fact that he’s a perv
@@szylaj What do *you* mean??
This was the clip that my friends showed me to get me to watch the show.
It worked
0:19 *Scanlan used Flamethrower. It was Super Effective!* It's what the villain gets for being part Steel type
Good pokemon references.😊
Scanlan would be a fire & psychic type pokemon as a triceratops.
0:17 Yeah, acid reflux really does suck.
thats definitely what it feels like sometimes
Not the kind of sword fight I expected from him, but awesome nonetheless
Scanlan: *gets kicked in balls*
Scanlan's stomach: *FIYAH!*
Why you cut the most epic moment where Scanlan said
"It's not about your pepe size, It's how you use it"
And because UA-cam wouldn't let me. Originally posted a video on a dummy account before I let it go live and it was going to get a copyright strike so I had to Had to edit it out
@@ProteusChris 🤣
@@ProteusChris we thank you for your service
Scanlan is a legend!
"It's like 'Duel Of The Fates'! On a rooftop in the rain! A giant Goliath... And a Gnome who breathes fire!"
I just figured out that spell turns you into whatever is closest to you. Like the triceratops skull at 0:48.
No, it's polymorph. It allows you to turn into a creature with a CR equal to your level or lower.
Which is really saying something about Our Boy
I'm guessing he learned it from leveling up and they just used a spellscroll as a storytelling device -- because it should have disintigrated when he used it the first time.
@@dmmikerpg it would work for learning the spell directly from the scroll too. It'd be funny if he sang that sing every time he polymorphed someone
@@BouncingTribbles Thing is though that Scanlan is a Bard not a Wizard. He can cast but can't learn a spell from a scroll, and casting it would have destroyed it when he tried it earlier (when he turned into a frog).

Damn, Scanlan was spittin' literal fire at that venue! Shit was lit!
this shows gives invincible vibes
It would be smart and awesome if he use that transformation spell on the dragons. He might be unstoppable
The difficulty level against unwilling creatures is a bit higher. Mind you I won’t say it’s impossible
Funny part is he used the middle finger for a sword fight 🤣😂
The pelvic thrust of death that's a good beginner's move: death Kwon do sensei regular show.
Crotch thrust acid codpiece
0:14 this moment is so humiliating.
UA-cam believes this is The Legend of Korra. I find this amusing.
In fairness, same animation studio worked on both
Why Scanlan is my favorite, the moment.
0:46 to 0:54 when i first saw this i thought that he was going to bring all the animals in that room back from the dead.
PS: this was the one song that i actually liked. IT could have been a good song
damn, play of the game!
This is the craziest use of the middle finger I’ve ever seen😂
Tyrion Lannister raises his wine glass to you Scanlan.
I am so happy I have met Sam. And Travis, and Ashley, and Liam, and Taliesen.
Did...did he just @#$% him to death?!
That was a hilarious yet epic exit 🤣
It was hype watching him Middle-Finger sword fight with a guy then laser him with his cube laser. neat show!~
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Scanlan just turned into a friggin Triceratops 🤯
"You' been an annoying li'l piece o' shite!"
**Bigby's Hand middle finger.**
This was epic in the critical role episode
"I don't do fire... this was a very bad plan, who allowed this?!"
"Nice house you have. Needs a new roof"
When the joke character becomes the bespoke character.
Did he just use what I think it was at the end
me with my gnome in bg3 be like:
So magic bard tyrion Vs a blueish Sendor Clagane(Hound).
Listen to his voice. The way he screams about fire, even the burning mark on his face later is like the Hound's. Very smart
Yes, Duke Vedmire is voiced by Rory McCann.
Is that a bard from D&D?🤣🤣🤣
Yup
Yes, Vox Machina is an adaptation of a Critical Role campaign.
You mean THE BARD FROM DND
Just listened to this episode last night lmao
The middle finger sword fight was awesome
He using markiplier’s middle finger defense!
He was doing it to a T with style until that last remark and latter the fall
scanlan is lowkey OP
he beats a duke of whitestone, almost killing him. and burnt down his manor
he was the last one standing against the sphyinx, and he beat it's riddle
and he solo's a dragon, the other party members help but scanlan just wrecks it.
how does the joke character have some of the best feats?
Thank Sam Riegel. He actually plans his moves ahead of time. Some of it is dumb luck though like when Scanlan killed King Murghol in the campaign even though the way he does it would’ve been nice to see in the show.
3.5e Arcane bards are overpowered, Scanlan's toolkit is _way_ too versatile. And indeed Sam Reigel can strategize.
@@Omega1867 Because then in Campaign 2 he will make you wanna fucking cry. Or just me?
@@JnEricsonx isn’t there a show in the works for the Mighty Nein? I do recall a teaser.
@@Omega1867 A audio one and a brief animatic.
In game it was pretty much just as cool lol
Stay classy scanlan
I mean... if I was being chased through a burning building by a triceratops, I'd probably be a _little_ distracted...
Best character ever
Good ol’ Scanbo. Taking an entire mansion himself.
This moment is much better in the stream
You got scanland son!!!!
Why does how he says “nevosh nevon” at 0:46 scratch my brain so well?
If one thing brothels taught me is SIZE doesn't matter
It's how you use it
I mean, they were distracted as he set them on fire.
Scanbo.
“He needs some milk!”
That was awesome, point Scanlan
Everyone talking about how he turned into a dinosaur when the best moment was when he pelvic thrusted that dude to death 💀
Okay, now i definitely know what i want to watch 😁
Scanlan succeeded in distraction lol 😂
"I need a beret."
Ok is it just me, or in the background music I am hearing Angry Birds Theme
Holy shit you're right
@@justaghostinthesea yes am not the only one
@@Caroline.Romero There are dozens of us
It's effectively the same thing for elves
Which is why he eagled that f****** oger's birdie at the end of it
Now that's a spell
1:56 he put him folded.
That right there was a violation...
Ah, yes UA-cam. Totally this is Legends of Korra.
Lmfao
That's a distraction? Looks more like an epic fight.
0:11
Taco Tuesday's Revenge
Further proof casters beat melee
Bro shoot spell from his ball
Ох уж эти барды😅
that's a nat20 right there
scanlan makes me want to play a bard and piss all my friends off
0:45 - 0:51 😅😂🤣
Idk if i wanna watch the series. Kinda just wanna rewatch the campaign
Wait a minute he did he turn into a f****** dinosaur
C🟡ck rocket!!!!!!
Does anyone have a list of the spells Scanlan cast here?
Started with Ghost Sound in the street, to distract the guards at the gate.
Then Potion of Blink, Potion of Reduce Person, Potion of Fire Breathing, and Scroll of Polymorph as he worked his way through the mansion.
Finishing off with Bigby's Hand and Lightning Bolt during the fight on the roof.
It's a bit different from how it was played in the original campaign, but the essentials are there.
The average DnD character
prsst WTF
0:32 LMFAO is that what it looks like? 😂😂 and why does he have that in his bag 😂😂 (it looks like an*l beads in case anyone missed it)
Uh...yup. He has a song called Pull on my Beads of Love.
Name?
1:55
D***CAST
What is this called?
Legend of Vox Machina, based on the Critical Role D&D live play campaign 1
I thought Mage hand couldn't be used to fight?
It's not Mage Hand its Bigby's Hand
@@cybernurgle6413 Scanlan's Hand.
Ok this is completely out of context for me. Can somebody please tell me why Scanlan is belching fire? Was it something he ate?
Potion of Fire Breathing. Just one of the several potions he took with him when he went to cause this distraction.
Is this a D&D podcast or something?
It's based on a podcast/Twitch stream of Critical Role's campaign 1.
@@janeilnold5863 Fair enough, cheers.
