baby got backula
This is my 3rd listen through for the podcast, only now realizing that Beverly has remove curse that he tries to use on the mythril armor and Murphy just said bev could become a vamp because it's a curse so technically couldn't bev just remove curse and make this nightmare stop lol
I tried to see if Rules as Written if vampirism is considered a curse. I could not find an exact answer but I did see that in some posts its considered a form of undead so its more like a change that happens not a curse. But whats definitely RAW is this "the character’s alignment becomes lawful evil, and the DM might take control of the character until the vampirism is reversed with a wish spell or the character is killed and brought back to life."
I'm so glad I started listening to this holy crap
Hardwon's vampire name suggestion: "Make it Dropula". Being dummy thicc, and all
Nothing on this gigantic lava gumball screaming through space has ever been funnier than Brennan growling, "So stupid, bringing those two double-thick asses in here. Such an oversight, dammit. Those boys are DUMMY THICC!"
I knew not to bring these dummy thicc milkshakes to the yard.
-3 for a wild animals athletics!? Unrealistic, unforgivable, unsubscribed. Love the podcast!
Revivify reverses vampirism within one minute of being bitten.
WHERE WAS BALNOR?! hahahaha
You guys are geniuses
Wtf I thought Cooter was a bullywug this whole time
But how??
Just popping in ~1 yr late to say that describing Spike from Buffy "crackhead buff" made me laugh and cry all at once. Nothing but love for my waifish peroxide king!
It's still so funny to me that Hardwon would be tan, having lived in a mountain his whole life
I’m currently in Starbucks cackling at that Hamilton wink. Caldwell Tanner, a modern day jester genius.
It was moonshines fault hardwon died! Freakin deadeye had that whole good plan with tricking them about Bev being the other vampires property, they would've been fine, and then she goes and ruins that by starting combat again with the wave! Stupid!
They were still going to take hardwon though...
but like, this whole episode was 19/10. i'm just trying to fill in canon so disregard as necessary
hey, I believe that hardwon admitted that he was a virgin in frostwind when he was under the zone of truth when they were talking to Gina.
This is so late lol, but I’m just listening to this now(loving it btw) but hard won admitted he was a virgin in the zone of truth but he played it off later by saying that he meant it as like he’s never made love, only had meaningless sex
I don't know a lot about 5e, but based on my experience w/other editions and Pathfinder, I'd be drooling at the chance to play an undead character of any kind. Carpe Diem, Jake.
I care....SO much more about this than GoT right now....
Stakes hurt but make everything SO much better when they are real. I am sorry there was undue noise you guys had to deal with. Calling unwarranted criticism a "vocal minority" doesn't make it go away. The only cure (other than more cowbell) is for the silent majority to make some noise. So...doubling my patreon support as a show of solidarity with everything you guys do. It makes my 2 hours in the car every day livable.
King's Hammer -> Queen's Hammer-> (Skarsgard) Jack Hammer
Is there anyway to cure Hardwon? Or to cure Vampirism? It ruined my night hearing that Hardwon is dead :(
I believe there is but it it's a very high level spell requiring a high level cleric
Uhm, did murph possibly just hint that Cobb is Deadeye's daddy?
So apparently some people are attacking Emily over that in game debacle? Not only is that insane since she's the most strategic Boob (that tidal wave could have given Hardwon more than enough time to flee without legendary actions/initiative sheaningans), but also don't attack people for a game! That bullshit is probably why they don't visit us anymore on the subreddit...
Ok... hear me out. Murph mentioned around the 20min mark that Hardwon can be freed by killing Scarlett... OR by doing a blood ritual mutually drinking eachother's blood... What if Scarlett, instead of just being another band of boobs enemy… becomes a Hardwon love interest? It could be a strange but very “Shadowfell Emo” way for the character to explore his, uh, inexperience, as well as potentially challenge his mixed feelings with the unavailable Gemma. Also, the tension that would happen between Moonshine and Scarlett would be so palpable if suddenly Hardwon was dating her, even potentially becoming a temp party member. Just a crazy thought, a potential way to challenge Hardwon and the party hahaha.
Rofl. True
Hardwon died a virgin.....
Again...
Okay am I the only one that thought, as soon as the Vampirism happened, "oh Galad could totally make Hardwon suck his dick now." They brought it up a bit on the short rest but still, that was my first thought, and I don't know what that says about me.
You're a thinker
I main healers in mmo-rpg games so yeah Healers Guilt is a a thing. I think it would be a good storyline if the Boobs have to get Hardwon to Alanis and she has a crazy ritual or machine to de-vampire him.
Yos... that GoT theory mentioned would be dope.
Let brennan on short rest you cowards!
I see Hardwon looking like Blood Omen's Kain. Legacy of Dracwon? While his mom is like Raziel from Soul Reaver. Lols.
I have definitely felt that healers guilt. When everyone else is just getting knocked down and you have like more then 50HP just sucks.
Loving the Buffy The Vampire slayer and Blade love going on. Seems like the majority of people I talk to scratch their heads when I mention Buffy
SMG was like, every other boys crush for a hot minute there lol.
What will the dwarf daddies think of vampire hardwon?
They'll all have the same tan for the pool 🤣
Emily, I have played a druid, cleric, and bard in my three games, and fell to being at least a part-time healer in each one. Feel absolutely terrible anytime a character that isn't mine is downed or killed, the guilt is real. Then my cleric died and I didn't feel bad about it until the party warlock made a bad deal with his patron to bring her back. So now I feel guilty about that, too. I think it's just being invested in the well-being of your friend's characters that you grow to love after so long spent with them. So when you put that healer mantle on yourself and something bad happens, you wind up asking yourself 'why couldn't I do my job, keeping them up and safe is my job'.
If you're role-playing right you start to care about the characters that your character cares about? Transitive property of friendship i guess?
Okay a question...Murph, you said here that vampirism was technically a curse, and Moonshine cast Greater Restoration on Hardwon in the ep. Doesn't Greater Restoration remove curses?
Nope! Greater Restoration doesn't work on Vampirism. The only way to change them back is to use a Wish spell...or even simpler just kill them and bring them back to life. Moonshine has access to Reincarnation and Beverly has access to Revivify. So they literally just need to kill him and bring him back with Revivify.
Just a thought... Grimhawk sounds a lot like Greyhawk,Deadeye is some form of Undead , Deadeyes "Symbol" are a hand and an eye and he screws around with Vampires... am I getting some Vecna vibes here ;) (also Brennan had mentioned on Drawfee he already used him in a campaign as DM)
Cobb is deadeyes dad.
Oh shitt
I just started the episode, not the Short Rest, but I wanted to post my theory that just came into my head after Murphs little recap....Deadeye said there are no good guys in Shadowfell....how far does that go Deadeye? You've been in the Shadowfell for quite some time, and so does that apply to only those native to the Shadowfell or those who have been there for a while?
I'm the cleric in my party and I get HARD CORE healer's guilt. You're definitely not alone.
