Do you think Murph remembered that he referenced Snow Patrol here when he gave Balnor the Big Mouth Bill Bass?
Moonshine really has such a penchant for consuming her enemies. It makes sense for a decomposer like fungus!
This battle was so fucking epic! I get such a massive, throbbing, PULSATING spectral boner on every relisten. You can feel just how in the moment either their characters everyone is and it’s fucking beautiful
Hardwon kissing Moonshine was so fuckin’ sweet.
"I wildshape just my chin into a billy goat” AHAHDHHDHD fucking killed me
Murph: "no, she's out of the eyeballs" Murph 2 minutes later: "She's going to do the eyeball thing to Balnor"
This is one of the most cinematic episodes of any naddpod campaign
Caldwell’s very bad, no good day
Wait… did they forget about Gwee getting sucked out of the ship after an explosion?
Wow, Murph coming in and getting them back for solving his witch riddle so fast. This was rough!
“and we’re going to do it all with help of Ketel One Vodka™️” This stupidly hilarious one liner has snuck up on me every time by this episode comes up when I listen to this campaign (I’m currently on another re-listen, and no I won’t say what number that puts it at). Real world references always get me I think.
Murph’s evil little cackle after he destroys Hardwon is sooooo funny. Gets me every time
*HONK HONK*LOL the first honk, shoutout campaign 2
I know you didn’t ask, but… I must spread the word that Hank/Honk Honkfish is Jake’s most underrated character (with Mavris being his crown jewel - his magnum opus). Anyway, Hank was quietly the funniest PC in C2, while also ending up having the best most intriguing backstory… that also had the most satisfying and complete of all of the character story arcs in C2.
42:00 gave me goosebumps
1:31:20 i don’t know if anyone will see this and have the proper context but caldwell told this story on a recent episode of Dirty Laundry, a show on dropout
Hero
~1:20:00 Hardwon’s mind dig was so great 🙀.
Such a great episode =]
9:00 foreshadowing the talking fish
this sode is sooo good
I'm curious would you allow them to cause themselves to lose some hp to combat the mental attack like stabbing themselves or cutting I haven't played a campaign yet just curious.
This episode was so good. I love listening to you all, the laughter is contagious :)
Don’t forget the hard hitting emotional scenes, as well. They turkey never miss.
I'm so glad I waited until my office cleared out to listen to this episode. Holy Crap... Daddy Murph... I'm emotionally traumatized from this episode. Amazing Job!
I love it lmao. Murph relishes in torturing them like this at times. He’s the GOAT DM in any actual play btw. (Don’t @ me on this btw - you’re 100% wrong if you disagree with me on it. It’s been proven by lots of math, the scientific method, as well as the MANY Bible verses that elude to it, too).
Loving this arc guys! Great job! 🖖
So you said to ask questions, and this one isn’t necessarily episode relevant but I’ve been wondering it. Caldwell, how do you approach playing a young, gay character? Obviously in a fantasy world you can have the ideal experience where there’s not an issue of prejudice, but is that something you thought about with Bev at all?
I’m sure he’s more worried about the out of game response to Bev, rather than the in game/people of Bahumia’s response.
So much exposition, so very well done. Much like the Boobs, I got literal chills at Bev's vision. Bravo Daddy, Bravo!!
great job guys
I legit gasped so many times at work my coworkers thought one of our machines were malfunctioning! Murph has definitely outdone himself and I aspire to be the DM that he is
SAMESAME
This was a freaking great episode!!!
Coffee by Sierra Needle is *chefs kiss*
I'm pretty excited to meet Moonshine's father! I know Murph is biased towards dwarves, but emily is an avowed fan of elves. Will the high elves prove to be as douchey as Galad may indicate? Or will Moonshine's biases be exposed as petty or based on ignorance, much like Hardwon and the Pale Prince?
Amazing episode! But I hope that counterspell scare will finally push them to buy some health potions. They could have easily stocked up in the Autumn Court.
Get your bell ring what
another amazing ep. you guys are the best
3rd time I've cried at work bc of this podcast
Oh my goodness! I am overwhelmed with emotion!
"...thats so WOKE"
I thought gwee got sucked out of the whole when the flying machine malfunctioned
Is it weird I’m shipping Moonshine/Hardwon cus it would be funny to listen to Daddy Murphy be RP cucked as Balnor.
What the fuckkkkk
What the hell
graaaah of all the episodes to have a late short rest 😭 gives me today to think of a question
my god what a thick ass sode
Murph is a fucking madman.
Y'know Murph, I'm kinda disappointed when King Lestibournes woke up and didn't immediately say something like "Wasing the wanting of where of the needing?"
If Murph just started using eastern street slang (sorry, High Imperial) I would absolutely lose my mind
Holy hell murph. Now I feel like I gotta go home and hug my loved ones.
My husband Galad is back and he’s a sexy undead lieutenant! Everyone heart’s breaking was great! My favorites were Hardwon’s and Beverly’s.
Hahaha! 😂
Welp, I think I just used all of my emotional energy for the day
Devils! Hissssss*
Could Hardwon have kicked on the thruster on the flying ship? Then just blown by or away from some of the encounters and gotten to the tower quicker? I'm assuming Brian had a set amount of encounters. Could those have been halved?
Well, that was a rollercoaster of emotion. Jesus. I need a 48hour lay-down and a cup of tea.
I would buy a “honk if u nasty” shirt
Well... That was fucking harrowing...
^i would think that she probably makes the music after the fact and they splice it in during post. That way there's no reveals. Plus then she can draw on what her actual feelings were during the session and use that to inspire the music.
That's what I had thought, but I could have swore there was an episode where a comment was made while they were playing about how much they loved playing with the music, which suggested to me that it was created beforehand and played while they played
O______________O
This sode was the thiccest! I have a question for Emily. When you are making the music for the show, how much info does Daddy Murph give you so that you can incorporate the right feeling and tone into the music? And does it affect you as Moonshine at all knowing that you made happier music so the upcoming scenes might not be as serious?
I don’t think she composes music in advance of a specific episode but after
thicc sode
Second time's the charm, eh? 😜
Damnit murph its 2 am i can't just start this episode
