#DO YOU SPICE? ; scanlan shorthalt

𝄇𝄋𝄋𝄆 > ❝Listen, this isn't really that big of a deal, is it? Tell you what--call me when there's another dragon to slay......... or lay. I'm open to suggestions, but for now--we have to get our coin somehow, and only Scanlan can light up this drab and dank city square, so if you'd excuse me.❞

The gnome told his current companion as he hopped up on the center fountain, tuning his lute. As every good minx should, he flattens back his hair and starts letting loose a fast and soft melody, more of a ballad. He seems to be scatting for now, until he can come up with something which, knowing him wouldn't be long at all.

watching the movie Dune with Scanlan saying „Do you spice?“ in the back of your head throughout the whole movie definitely was a unique experience

Wizard breakdown tracker

Welcome to a new and wholly unasked for feature, in which I procrastinate what I should be doing (currently: reading about MRIs, finishing up some Passover kitchen cleaning) in favor of providing a status update on our wizard NPCs, who are as a rule getting their lives flipped and turned upside down in part by the the Mighty Nein. I intend to keep up with this nonsense until such time as Trent Ikithon is dead or as good as.

Note: Caleb Widogast, as a PC and member of the Mighty Nein, is not included on this list. Vess DeRogna is assumed to be still dead unless otherwise indicated. Wizard NPCs who have not made an appearance nor been mentioned in some time will not be included but may be put on the list in future weeks if they turn up.

Ludinus Da’leth: haven’t heard from him in a while but Astrid mentioned him; last we heard he’d lost the Nein in Eiselcross. Probably hanging out and having a great time knowing that Vess DeRogna is missing, presumed dead and that Trent Ikithon is having a miserable time. I bet that smug bastard doesn’t realize his overture to Caleb just made him more complicit and a storm’s a-coming.

Conclusion: 0/10. Pretty sure this man won’t believe he can die until a sword is stuck through him and even then he’ll have some doubts.

Trent Ikithon: according to Astrid, he’s a little twitchy; Caleb’s shown that even when quite literally backed into a corner he’s uninterested in making bargains, and also can capably counterspell him. Plus his underlings let the Nein go and even if he doesn’t know this was intentional, seems like it would be a rough day.

Conclusion: 4/10. Not pulling out the big guns yet, probably, but starting to ramp things up.

Essek Thelyss: Oh, Essek. You poor, poor elf man. Yes, you laid the groundwork, but I have to say I think pacing via floating would be uniquely unsatisfactory in relieving stress. Jester’s messages have made it worse, you’ve been expecting to die every day for the last six weeks, and what exactly did Trent do to you?

Conclusion: 8/10. Please give him some whiskey-spiked tea and sympathy in the tower tonight.

Astrid Beck: Well she’s betrayed Trent like four times in the last week already and, initial reunion conversation with Caleb aside, the Mighty Nein have been fucking up her shit ever since that dinner, so.

Conclusion: 8/10 and rising. Help her Bob, she’s having a mental breakdown in the alley. (god I hope people know sea shanteys other than The Wellerman or this is going to be a joke only I enjoy).

E(a,o)dwulf “Then Perish” Grieve(?): Wulf is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, isn’t he. Here’s what we know: Big. Strong. Forearms. Cut his parents’ throats as a teenager. Sometimes does work at Vergesson. Keeps saying “you look good” to Caleb like he’s a romanceable video game character. Raven Queen, but not sure of whether he multiclassed or is just a religious wizard who lifts. Knows wristpocket and uses it to hide his flask. Joined Astrid in Nicodranas, so in on the plan, but she seems to be the one in charge.

Conclusion: 5/10. Fewer betrayals than Astrid, but he’s definitely at least guilty of aiding and abetting.

Pumat Sol: Missing the Spice Girls already. Some weird guy in a cloak keeps stopping by his shop. You know, the usual.

Conclusion: 2/10, probably a little nervous he’s going to get audited for illegal high level spells. On the other hand, the Assembly’s been leaving him alone - no Vess DeRogna threats for a while!

Allura Vyesoren: I mean, it’s not the first time that a rag-tag bunch of misfits has asked for her help regarding a world-ending power and so far it’s gone pretty good! Also this woman has watched Scanlan Shorthalt cast Wish and survived, she’s got a great marriage and a cool tower, she’s on the Tal’Dorei council; it’s going to take a lot to truly unsettle her.

Conclusion: 3/10. She doesn’t have her staff, and the city is indeed a concern, but she’s been through worse.

Yussa Errenis: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Conclusion: ∞ /10. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

It was Osysa the androsphinx who sent them here--to the Axiom caverns, and ultimately it was also Osysa's mention that saved Vox Machina from an eternity of freefalling the infinite void. To prove their worth and venture forward, a test was established by Kamaljiori--the estranged husband of this encounter--to wound him.

In all his years, as was explained, he'd never felt the sting of pain.

If one of them managed, they would all be let go and perhaps awarded with a vestige if all pans out. And all would pan out, if their plucky group had anything to say about it.

Given Kami's incredible and striking nature as a monstrosity, most of them were quickly bested, tossed over the edge of the pocket dimension's arena to fall infinitely unless one of them were to succeed.

With everyone quickly dropping like literal flies around him, Scanlan options waned. If Grog couldn't draw blood, how could he? If there were no visible--eh hem, externals... how was he supposed to get the cheap shot?... and then, Kami spoke his end, that he didn't understand why Osysa sent such weak tokens and all at once Scanlan pulled forward his lute. Fingers poised, the bard played an awe-inspiring, melancholic anthem based on the lovers' separation, being so close to touch and yet...

Well, no one would ever quite believe him--and even in the few moments he has to talk with Kami, he doesn't think it'll be enough even when time and space are set right. For now, the brilliant concert lights settle and Scanlan finds himself in a comfortable statis, sitting on a plush cloud and leaning against the soft fur of the androsphinx.

❝Wise, old Rosemary...❞ he begins, and it hits like poppy dust, the realization of abrupt stillness and drowse.

❝It is nice to meet again. The time of ages is etched into your bones, allowing you to see clearly the heartbreak that lies within the realms... and sworn your infinite lives to solve it.❞

Scanlan tilts his head up in question to find a strand of long, brown hair tickling his nose--his hair is out, his chest is glowing a calm lilac, and everything feels heavy & hazy, like the best high-induced dream he's ever had. No idea what the pretty words quite mean, but they sound as exquisite as the finest instrument. Lulling violet eyes drift upwards, giving a sleepy cheshire smile.

❝... but kindness without limits is self-destruction.❞

He frowns, and there's a sudden heat to his face, the sole discomfort. Kami sounds heartbroken for him, and pulls him closer with a delightfully weighted paw.

❝Oh, little leaf... Strong and wise, you seek to bring peace with your presence, and I'd be wrong to say you fail at this effort. In fact, you burn so brightly I fear you may continue to set yourself on fire to keep others warm. In this, you believe to be protecting everyone... but if you shield the saplings from the sunlight, they will never grow.❞

Scanlan can't help but instinctively disagree, In his own mind, what sort of protecting is he desperately trying to do--? What sort of protecting can he do? And to what vain is it going too far?...

... maybe this is a prediction of the future?

❝--and you one day will wither.❞ Yikes. ❝Protect yourself, as you know best there are no happy heroes... so do not exhaust in being one. Be a friend, Scanlan Shorthalt. Before you slay others' demons, you must first slay your own.❞

He deflates slightly, looks disheartened by this conclusion--so he is at fault, huh? A fucking andro-guardian is telling him that to his face and everything. Almost like Kami reads his mind though, he's placed on top of the sphinx's head with a careful clawed grip.

❝Oh, true-hearted paladin--you are brave, you are good enough. One cannot do anything saintly if they do not tend to their own wounds first.❞

And it's with this last realization that the scenery changes for the final time, fading white back to that dingy cave entrance from before. In their final moments before the others crash in, Scanlan finally gets the ability to talk and immediately leans into writing a song with the possibly the only being in existence that could see into Scanlan Shorthalt's soul.

He saw where the music box was carefully tucked away and hidden, and brought it out. Cleaned it up. Tuned the abandoned prongs. Gave him back to the found family that nearly lost him.

... but who knows if it'll stay clean, really.

Making a Moroccan chicken dish tonight so I made my usual Ras El Hanout spice mix. 

I offered some to my sister saying “do you want some SPICE?”

And she was like “...is that a drug?”

I accidently channeled Scanlan Shorthalt and I am not mad about it

I feel bad for laughing at this because it’s not a funny thing, but my first thought when I saw this article was...

do you spice?

#do you spice #scanlan shorthalt #critical role #tw: drugs

[cat-cosplay]

Remember kids, "Friends" is a gateway spell that can lead to the use of "Modify Memory"... it's a hell of a drug.

…spice? do you spice?

[gleefully-macabre]

I can't tell if Scanlan's reaction to this spice thing is bruised pride at having been swindled, or fear of the others being disappointed in him for getting swindled.
