      Yeah, Sam said about this to Liam and Matt. I don't think he spoke to anyone else. And there's that thing that Matt just prepared for this narratively and Liam prepared a speech. He even said something along that he would have no words if he was taken by suprise by Sam at that moment. Hell, I imagine if he didn't spoke about it with Matt, it would throw him off briefly too, and the smooth acting moment of this scene would be ruined by laughs.

      ​@@ShadowyFox_86as a college of lore bard he probably understands better than anyone how bad a wish can be misinterpreted by the world. Many tell tales of items like djinn or monkey paws with catastrophic consequences. I think it fits the character well. A wizard may have put decades of research into the wording of a wish to find a way to alter fate with minimum consequences but scanlans wish is more like a plea to the gods to persuade them

      I noticed that, for such an *apparently* selfish character, both of Scanlan's uses of that particular spell were about as selfless as one could imagine. First, he gives up the Wish spell and (probably) the only chance he had of returning Vax to life in order to save all of Exandria. Then, a year later, he actually casts the spell, expending the only time he's capable of doing so, just to give his friends one last chance to see and speak to Vax. It was rather impressive and something I was always struck by.

    I can only imagine what it would be like to live long periods of time and have every one of the party die off as you live for centuries. (Talking about Keyleth). Grog would be the first to go seeing as goliaths don't live as long as the rest. But after the many years, just having everything become a distant memory... It's rough.

      Well the way I’d like to think about it is like Magnus Bane from the mortal instruments. He saves SOMETHING from every best friend and lover and puts in a box so that when he misses his old friends and lovers he can look at stuff from them and remember them. That’s what I imagine KeyKey and the others who live long lives in the group did.
      I think Vex would have had something made that reminds her of each of her friends and Percy, and go back to that thing when she missed them.
      Like her holy symbol, Pike would wear something that she can look at when she misses them, etc.
      I imagine Percy doesn’t keep anything, but he visits the Whitestone raven queens temple and talks to Vax every chance he gets.
      Grog probably visits the outside of the raven queens temple in vasselheim and talks to Vax whenever he’s there.
