Hey why is my phone screen getting all blurry 😭
I watched a documentary a long time ago about the African Bushman, where they would have one cow to sell, but had to live off of it to make the trek across the desert. So they would lightly draw a bow and arrow and plug it into the cow's carotid artery to drain enough blood to sustain them. The cow barely felt it and has so much blood it never even missed it.
Wow, can't believe Jveln saddled that poor kid with survivors guilt. What a dick
Pentagreen is one of my all time fav naddpod characters 🤣🤣
I'm on my first listen, and I'm absolutely devastated. JV really becoming Varsity, how beautiful and tragic.
2019 was simpler time; when Emily hadn’t watched Austin Powers and the Star Wars movies out of order
Sassy piece of toast. Fuck the Red Fen. Sweet as. 🥹🥺🥹
May we never forget the wimple
Omg to think that possibly without Bevs nat20 they may not have found Handy Andy. Wonder what the DC was for that!
Birth of Pendergreens, timestamp 11:05 hahah
This is my first ever listen of the podcast and my first ever comment on the patreon. I absolutely cried at JV's sacrifice. Beautiful storytelling
Come back with your wimple, or on it
This blunderbuss lady outlived her funny character bit ten minutes in and is just straight annoying
Old Lady slander will not be tolerated
Wow, for a character we only had for a bit, loosing JV had me tear up.
I got tears from JV’s death
JVs death was way heavier than Deadeye's
I was having a weird night, and I think I needed a cry. Thank you all for this tender goodbye to a lovely character, and for the good cry I had. Much love
Did anyone else hear cooter this episode 😂
That's just Murph's commoner voice.
Amazing sode, JV end was masterfull, also this is my second listen and pendergreens is my second fav NPC after balnor
I know that Jake might not have been happy at first with JV's end. But for me Listening to JV's epilogue, it was the first time in my life that I felt goosebumps all over my body. Hearing Rosa's scared and sad yells and JV finding her and as a listener putting together what might happen was fully immersing. It is by far, my favorite moment in the podcast and is such beautiful and cinematic end for such a kind character.
Makes me cry every time
I would die for Pendergreens
This was so below my radar emotionally the first time I listened to it, but I guess I just forgot what JV did for that little girl or something, but I just imediatly started sobbing in the middle of my shift
the close of JV's arc made me cry harder than I have in a long time for a fictional character. I didn't see it coming and JV was just so sweet and good. To hear him just not question it and to immediately give up his place. Shit I'm getting emotional just thinking about it again makes me a bit Misty eyed
on my second listen JV closing scene still gets me... the DMV joke softened the blow but not by a lot.. gaddamn onions
Hehe sassy piece of toast lol
Did anyone else notice that at 25:50 Murph said Hardwon could see his reflection, which isn’t possible because he’s a vampire? But anyway, that JV scene was probably the best moment of the podcast. Makes me tear up every time.
Vampires can't see their reflections in mirrors because many are made with silver, they can see their reflections in other surfaces just fine. I think!
If I'm working on a mixed tape with Blavin, does that mean he isn't dead?
Fuck the Red Fen. I only knew JV for a short time, but I loved him so much. Well played Jake, and Murph with the amazing story telling as always!
This "sweet as!" was the best way to end this episode and this character's arc! Amazing!
Awwww JV 💕
Fun fact, "Geas" is a Gaelic word and is pronounced as "gesh".
This episode was so amazing. JV was an amazing character, if i had a rose, id give it to jake for how he played jv, and a rose to murph for how great of writing was put into this arc
Since Hardwon is undead/a vamp now, will that affect his "worthiness" when using the Queenshammer?
i was wondering this too, did the undead pale prince ever actually use it?
Murph, you are so great at giving the players such beautiful opportunities for emotional roleplay when they're on death's door! When Hardwon first died in the Feywild, then Deadeye and JV, who both got beautiful death scenes and gave me all kinds of feelings! Props to you and thank you for this wonderful content!
Everytime they pronounce the command spell it sounds like they're saying gay ass 😂
Please release the live show even if the audio isn't perfect! The first live show has some of your funniest moments and I'm super excited to hear what y'all come up with this time.
Such a lovely ending for JV ❤️
Damn that was incredible well done. JV got the afterlife he deserved. Will never not be blown away by the story telling you all do !!
The last moments from the lantern to the last line has got to be my favorite part of the podcast. I listen to it like 3 times already.
I’ve never heard a DND party have so much fun flirting with a TPK
I can’t stop crying!!!
I went to The Red Fen, and all I got was this stupid tear-soaked t-shirt. RIP J.V. VARSITY!!!
Handsy Andy
Whew. That was an emotional ‘sode. Despite the fact that “this place sucks,” I’m really enjoying Shadowfell. Thanks for all you do, gang!
I think Murph channeled Tollbooth Willie this episode
Dear God what an emotional episode
Honestly, you guys have conditioned me to start crying whenever I hear the Kingshammer OST
Pendagas sounds like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. Think of scene when Agent Starling approaches his door. “Was she a big fat girl?”
Can't wait to get started!!!
brb gotta make fanart of the ska vampires
OH MY GOOOD!!!! Stop making me cry 😭
Two in one week?! Is it Crickmas?!
