Rewatching Season 2 and this scene:
Percy "I am very flammable." De Rolo.
And in Season 3:
The man is ALWAYS aware just how easily he could go up in a ball of fire and he absolutely used that highly trained threat avoidance as an attack
#im sure there's somewhere in the campaign he points this out too but i can't find it off the top of my head#(pyrah maybe?)#but yeah no the ripley fight may have been shorter and very different in tlovm but it felt so true to the campaign i adored it#like taliesin is a player with a lot of situational awareness! he tracks everything#not just what he's doing but matt and the other players too#and especially with percy he's so tricksy because he also knows what details he remembers that others have likely forgotten#(his suicide threat against orthax in the briarwood arc was real in tlovm. in the campaign? that gun broke in the previous episode)#(bad misfire and he didn't get a chance to fix it)#(and it's something that only really works in a ttrpg bc like. in any other medium the broken gun would be obvious)#(but the dm and other players didn't remember. and because this story is created in their heads that makes it true!)#and my favourite thing about tlovm that isn't pointed out but is still so present - percy doesn't have the correct ammo for ripley's guns#every gun he picks up he fires the amount of shots that that style of gun can hold and then he immediately drops it#because he knows it's dead weight at that point. and that's so BEAUTIFULLY taliesin i am enamoured#the legend of vox machina#percy de rolo
