Short Rest: Ep. 79: Honey Trap

With all these contracts the feywild and hell seem very lawful and orderly

lol is Mike Mignola a deep cut? Is Abe Sapien? Watch Hellboy, guys

The sword should have shown back up in Theala's hands in ep. 100.

Dropping real ones about British food, haha

I wanted them to play the deck of many things so bad. I just know something bad would've happened, but that chance at some wish spells would've been so cool.

Question: Was Balnor's mermaid half Tuna

Emily multiclassed Fig so many times I forgot for a sec she started as a bard lol

1:08, I'm the someone. I laughed so hard. Well played.

When he gave his soul to the god lady and then tried to use a spell on her. might be the most stupid idiotic thing I've ever heard in my life

I got your intro reference, Caldwell. I'm sure you'll see this, too.

I will say that you can be a Junior Lifeguard by the age of 11 but you aren’t allowed to rescue people and if you do actually need to jump into the pool before an actual lifeguard then the lifeguard is probably getting fired lol

Wish murph had gotten to talk about the games

Hellboy isn't fucking anime what the fuck

In my campaign, I found a short sword that I could speak a word and it could move a certain distance and make an attack, like Yondu.

Clearly Moonshine uses one of those wishes to have Shay love her

Please do a mixed bag or Nannerfly Effect style live show where the boobs get those cards from the deck of many things.

I enjoy your Mike Mignola deep-cuts Caldwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Abe Sapien is the super smart half fish guy who was also the inspiration for the guillermo del toro film The Shape of Water! In the comics Abe Sapien was like a side kick/side character to the titular, main character Hellboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idk if he was in the most recent (DK HARBOR) Hellboy film as a character bc I didn't want to watch it but Abe Sapien was in the original film adaptation of Hellboy (PEARLMANs)!!!!!!!!!

How we try to introduce new animals to eachother is we coat all the animals in baby powder so they all smell the same which gives everyone an easier time to get along with eachother

Fun story relating to the Deck of Many Things: My friends and I had a campaign where we got basically the same item, but it was called the Knucklebone of Fickle Fate. It was an in-game D20 that you rolled, and whatever side it came up on something good or bad happened. We decided our most bone-colored dice was now this Knucklebone, and if anyone rolled it, on purpose or accidentally, knocked it off the table or anything, you had to take the roll. We would troll each other by dropping it into someone's open hand so it rolled off!

Have you guys tried the pheromone diffusers for the cat situation?

I like the podcast, but I really wish they'd stop going tangents about their little make believe games and talk more about the real substance... The Murphy-Axford household animal situation

The point of living in a massively multicultural city like London is that you don’t have to eat shitty English food. We eat Indian and Jamaican and everything from every other culture than ours

You’re in London on a Sunday, go get a good roast.

I definitely cracked up listening to you guys talk about the unappetising looking British food, and wondering whether you'd had any good food yet? I know it looks crap, but it tastes good none the less! Hope you've had a cheeky Nandos by now too.

Isn't Abe Sapien a Hellboy reference?

In a game me and some friends played, their cat kept walking across the map. We entered an encounter where a dragon was attacking a village and we said that everytime the cat walked across the board, the dragon swooped down and breathed fire on the village. It was a very chaotic event but very fun game.

Surprisingly on the rails lol.

A few weeks ago I asked if John Elway the flying sword would ever make an appearance.. this episode is close enough!

Cat tips!! Fences make good neighbors. Allow corrections from the older cats to the younger cat. She’s a brand new baby! She doesn’t know the rules! She gotta learn! As long as there isn’t any actual physical damage (biting to break skin) you just gotta let them work their shit out

You guys should definitely do that fighting game with a whole bunch of famous DnD people! Throw in Matt Mercer, Brendan, and maybe a few people from Dimension 20

I had the exact same thought as Emily about the deck rolls - it's the dice trying to lure you into picking a bad card in the future!!! I felt genuinely relieved when you said that, glad you're onto the dice devils and their manipulations.

Hellboy's not even a deep cut! He's had so many movies with Abe!!!!

The Cece sounds so cute I hope we can get some pictures on the Patreon

It's actually really good that Cece is a kitten because that makes it easier for adult cats to accept than say another adult male. Each cat is going to be different but when I was introducing my kitten to my older male cat playing with them in the same room and overall having positive things happen at the same time (like treats) helps them also get along :) I hope it goes well!

I loved your intro joke Caldwell 👌

Emily and Murph can you make a snapchat or instagram just for your cats? I would watch all day.

I got your joke Caldwell don't worry bud

You’re all invited to come to my pub for a Sunday lunch. It’s a fucking delicious affair with more food than you can fit on the table! Gorgeous veggies, Yorkshire pudding pork, beef, lamb and vegan roasts. Omfg. I’m drooling thinking about it. We can show you what a Sunday roast is all about. Not this disgusting greasy spoon bullshit. I mean, we’re also doing a cheeky one shot to get us hyped for the London show. And if you so happened to be keen to partake.. well I’ll just leave that on the table as well

Every time they talk about the dice devil telling the story, as a fellow DM, I want Murph to be “hey guys...I work real hard at this...”

I wonder if there was ever an animated movie, what style would it be animated it? Hannah barbara style, chuck jones style, grand sweeping animation a la original lion king, the cgi style of dreamworks or current disney, very stylized like Genndy Tartakovsky, nickelodeon cartoon style? THOUGHTS?

Just sitting here thinking of possible wishes Moonshine could have made. Like: -Wishing for the party to jump up a level or two. -Wishing for Ulfgar and Alanis to be summoned to the Boobs' current location so they can save Alanis and come up with a plan to take on Thiala.

@murph pls stop living like this

"The British Subway. They call it The Tube there." - Jake Hurwitz 2019

I got that hellboy reference! V nice!

Honestly, just gotta be patient with the cats. We have five and only two had a problem with each other. It took about a year for them to be okay around each other. You could try catnip, feliway diffuser, feeding them at the same time next to each other, or getting something with her scent on it and putting it where the boys like to lay. The best sign is that they aren’t attacking. Hope that helps!!!

19 minutes 20 mark, little slip from Emily... what's happening? Huh? What's going on there guys?

Analysing gambling is so awesome.

So what you’re saying is, there is an alternate universe where this episode could’ve resulted in moonshine wishing both Thiala and Ilsed threats could be resolved, Hardwon changing fate so his parents never died, and Bev going up a level and getting one legendary item. I guess the moral of the story is that gambling is good, kids.

Also the Mike Mignola Joke was 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Bev was so cool at the end damn

GEEEET THE HONEY!!
