KILLSCREENS LIVE!!!
02:18 Killscreen call forward!
I WAS JUST COMING TO COMMENT THIS.
Moonshine wanting to rehabilitate hell makes me see HazbinHotel in a new way lol
here in 2026 no way murph said kill screens in the recap… i know the kill screens
"We have nothing to gain from it!"
KILLSCREEN??
Every time Illsed comes around, I think it's gunna be Strahd for some reason lol
Was relistening while waiting for end of campaign 3 final episodes and I gotta say Murph has been a god story teller since back here and I don't think he got the credit he deserved when he was making this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm missing what Bev said to hurt Moonshines feeling does anyone have a timestamp
I am re-listening -- Bev insults Mooneshine's knowledge of Hell because crick folk aren't very educated. He tries to apologize around 1:14 -- not sure when he actually insults her but I think it's within 20/30 min of that
Rose to Murph for that amazing exposition of Ilsed's back story! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it (even rewound to listen to it twice). And another rose to Emily for the music during that story! It was a delight to listen to <3
So my name is Alex Lich and having the name Lich makes me real proud when a Lich shows in a campaign. Pretty neat.
This arc reminds me so much of shadowfell with Murph trying to show and demonstrate why hell is bad and the boobs(mostly moonshine) trying to see the best of it
I LOSY MY MIND. OMG. I WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER EXPECTED THAT. jfc I love this show so much, so so much.
Two things I wonder : - Why not send Thiala to confront Akaroth in the 9th circle? Sure they can't clash in the Material or they would destroy it, but who cares if they destroy hell (although the 1st circle would be missed) - Failing that shouldn't they go to Gladeholm and purify or destroy the artifact he's using as a phylactery which allows him to control several bodies? Without it he's mostly fucked, and his godlike hollow bodies won't be functional.
this is just my opinion so don't take it too seriously, but I don't think Thiala knows Ilsed isn't Ilsed yet and that's why she is just gathering power to fight Ilsed's army rn, and we don't know where Thiala is planning to battle Ilsed, too. So a battle in hell could still totally happen. And I think if they destroyed the All Caster/phylactery in Gladeholm, Gladeholm would fall/be in chaos because that device is maintaining the whole levitation stuff? I don't think they want to sacrifice Gladeholm
I've only just realised how good an ep title this is. About 24 hours after listening to it.
Please don't ever stop being a storyteller Murph. Absolute gold!
Love this episode. Thought it was funny that Murph used "a modified version of feeblemind" to describe what I assume is Modify Memory, a 5th level wizard spell
Man, Emily nailed it with the way she sounded in response to Bev. Seriously, best acting of the entire series. I felt the sting.
Yeah that one hurt bad!
How many hoops with murph have to jump through to get them to understand that hell is bad, it’s one of my favorite parts of this saga
Young Erdan gives me big young Sirius Black Vibes
Bev sure knows how to apologize. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Murph, you've done it again, you mad genius. Holy shit.
If y'all do the pawpaw festival I'll make the drive from PA to OH.
Absolutely come to the pawpaw festival. It’s a solid 5 minute drive from my house

Wow y'all got me NERVOUS
I want Emily to make a song mix of all her coughs from this episode.
What a goddamn cliffhanger!
This episode was so FUCKING good
