Short Rest: Ep. 28: Monster Inside You

relistening in 2026 and hearing emily talk about void elves with vacuum mouths after finishing d20's city council of darkness where she had a portal in her mouth. also ally and lou with the bird scooters lmao

The scooter talk is really taking me back to 2018

Poor Jake doesn’t know about Tucker yet

as someone who was hit by a car on a lime scooter I appreciate creating awareness for how dangerous they are 😭🛴

murph is the only person alive resposible enough to be allowed to ride a motorized scooter in an urban area. u must not goof on the scooters

Listening to this during the War Within expansion launch.

1. Isn't it part of a later level thing with circle of spores druids where they can bring back a zombie after scoring a kill with their spores? 2. Am I the only one who hears Murphs "southern bell" voice for Meribell on the same level as nails on a chalkboard? 3. Brian you know what you did to Cob in 2024 you monster.

So... This episode is my intro to Short Rest 😅

XD OH MY GOD i don't know why it took me so long to make this connection but listening to this after listening to Twilight Sanctorum. I love how Caldwell was the one who almost ate the SD Card and Penny was the one who ate the encoded memory strand. I can't believe the coincidence there about 5 years apart XD.

Does Murph play female NPCs differently or have Hardwon and Moonshine just immediately tried to get in the pants of every female NPC they've met? :D

Listening during campaign 3, and Emily just goes “I want to play a void elf”

Im re-listening to c1 and caldwell’s plague doctor pitch feels like the birth of what would eventually become zirc

I have had to hold a man's brain in his head while waiting for an ambulance in San Diego after witnessing a scooter accident

Where's the ice cream talk

For the third time, something that is said that happens in the future. You guys are awesome.

i love when y’all get off topic lmao

coming back to Caldwell talking about a plague doctor with a bag that can do a bunch of different damage types is wild with his campaign 2 character

Omg moonshine is finally walking around like she knows who her daddy is

"Monster Inside You" was one of the BEST episodes yet! Which is saying something considering how awesome this Podcast is

I'm with Jake in that it doesn't matter who Moonshine's biological mother is, she's Meemaw's daughter and a crick through and through—that said, I definitely get the "am I an elf or am I a fungal monster?" moral quandary.

I thought Bev had immunity to disease? Is this not true?

I'm so worried for Caldwell now...

this episode SHOOK me and i am desperate to see that pic of emily looking shook too so that i can relate to her.

I’m officially calling myself out as a bird scooter fan. They cut my internship commute time in half! Plus, there’s nothing that makes my morning funnier than seeing a 60+ year old business man gliding through the bike lane in a full suit.

Jake should definitely try WoW, he'd love it. He can set up that a free trial.

We need to see Jake's photo of Emily!

Crows are the species (corvidae) of which Raven (corvus corax) are a sub species. The common bird we call crows are carrion crows (corvus corone) but being from american the bird Emily saw could have been an american crow (corvus brachyrhynchos) #imanerd

Idk if you've discovered this since then, but there is an Alchemist class on the 5e wiki from a 3rd party dev, Caldwell. Which kinda does that. I vaguely remember seeing a Plague Doctor as well on the wiki but it may have been someone else's hombrew.
