So I just finished episode 80 of Critical Role, and while the comments are all harping on Vax and Keyleth, no one mentions the fact that the flute could have avoided a lot of this?

Liam and Marisha were both RPing as their characters would act, but I still have no idea why Scanlan wouldn’t use the flute (especially after running from the Pit Feind). Sam did look like he regretted holding it at the end though. 

Saving the flute for Raishan – sure. Not using the flute immediately after the first person was down… Yeah, uh, Scanlan kind of fucked up there. But don’t tell the fandom that. Sam is infallible. So is Travis.
