So I landed on Nott the Brave who is about as far the other direction as you can get. I started exploring maybe having a skittish character or a nervous character and then I was just trying, again, like get away from the stuff we had done in the first campaign, so as far away from like confident, cocky Scanlan as I could get. that wasn't Vax really, like I didn't want to be a cool assassin, brooding, awesome rogue, so I wanted to do something a little different and something that could have some humor and character quirks and stuff. And for the second campaign, I thought it was only fitting that he choose again so he said, "Why don't you do a goblin rogue?" So I did a goblin rogue but I wanted to find something that was. Well, for the first campaign, Liam suggested that I play as a gnome bard, and so Scanlan was born.

Sam Riegel: Well, I currently play as Nott the Brave in our campaign two of Critical Role.

Todd Kenreck: Today I'm talking to Sam Riegel about his character Nott, the jingle he sang and created for D&D Beyond as well as the animation, and why if Critical Role got an animated series, it would be full circle for the entire cast.
