hardwon saying "nose goes" about the hellfire crown sent me to the SKIES
I’m so confused about where the whole “it has to be Moonshine” thing came from I understand why she’d volunteer, but I fail to see why it “absolutely has to” be anyone
Adam driver?
Going through a relisten and I feel like Caldwell did not get enough attention for saying the god of Gnolls would probably be named "Crunchwrap". God that was funny lmao
"The difference is we know we make mistakes and we always clean them up" cut to Queen Jovier in campaign 3 (not a complaint, just thought it was funny)
Man, people are really hard on Em/Moonshine in these comments. Once again people are hypercritical of the only woman in the podcast, js
Having listened to just about everything with naddpod I will never understand why Em gets so much slack with everything her thinking outside the box and energy she brings i absolutely love it and hope people one day just recognize how amazing she is
I feel like sometimes Bev forgets all his character growth (like getting tricked by the list devil) and everyone doesn't act like an adventuring party with a ton of experience.
Even after the 3rd listen I still don’t understand why moonshine goes full I belong in hell instead of anybody outside the main 3 makes no sense
It was the most frustrated I've ever been listening to the show, especially when Moonshine says something like "it's very clear it has to be more or Pendergreens?" Why??
Great episode! Does anyone know what the spell/ability that Akkarot used to share damage with Bev?
It's a Lich lair action. It doesn't have a name, but lasts a whole round from initiative 20. But looking at the alternatives, I can see why Murph made a few of the choices he made.
Caldwell is the worst roller on saving throws in the history of D&D lmao
Throughout this series, moonshine has doubted herself on so many things that I've always thought were her best decisions. It's frustrating as a listener but I respect it because if a person was really put in these situations they would have doubt, regret and forethought about what they're going to do. I have never not agree with her decisions though even when she really did.
The ending was beyond frustrating. I guess they are the Band of Boobs for a reason 🤦♂️
Emily, you were going to talk about something on the short rest about your status (weapons/defense condition/something else?) at beginning of this episode but never did. Do you, or anyone, know what that was supposed to be? It sounded like she was concerned about whether or not to do something. Thanks.
I know this is soooo late, but are you referring to the comment she makes around the 23 minute mark about Bev saving her that she will explain on the short rest? A little bit later she mentions that she can’t be power word killed anymore thanks to Bev so I think that was it, she was trying to stay above 100 hp.
I think that making Pendergreens ruler of hell won't be such a big deal in 30 days anyway, simply because if i'm not mistaken the power of hell is proportional to how many damned souls it contains, hence why the demons are always trying to get people to damnation, and hell just got purged! That said to seal the deal I'd recommend that the BoB find him a cool new nickname to bestow upon him at the end of his 30 days, if he's been a good boy. Something like Pendergreen the Derby-roller.
Bev's bad day
I am so God damn happy you gave the crown to pentergahst! I am still in the middle of listening but this is exactly what I have been waiting for
Caldwell’s little laugh when he gets hit for 24 hp and he knows he’s at 25 😂
The obvious choice for the next ruler of hell is Scoutmaster Denny. He'll be too cowardly to have any ambition for the material plane.
Super good session liches are scary. I’m always impressed how murph adds extra elements to combat I strive to be that creative. Also y’all sound tired as fuck must’ve been the final session in the end of all these.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT ENDING
This podcast makes me stressed.
What a thicc sode
So amazing. I don’t know why I’m in heavy tears at the conversations with pendergreen. This podcast is so amazing.
I started this whole podcast in July and I can't believe after months of listening and avoiding spoilers I'm officially all caught up!
HAHA Bev at 33:35 - "How are you a dad and a son and an uncle all at once??" Yes Beverly I'm glad you recognize that is an unachievable status, no one has ever held all three of those positions in one moment.
Jesus Murph this is brutal. It’s 3am here, it’s bad enough that I have to stay up all night to listen to this, but now I have to listen to this absolute whomping of my sweet boy Bev?
I can't wait to listen to this episode at work tomorrow, like I legit can't wait... might just listen now 🤔
Perfect timing so I can lay awake tonight, most likely in anguish. No regrets. Jumping in!
Yup. No regrets. What an episode!!
Dang guys, straight in huh?! Hell of a way to start my Friday arvo 😲
Nice timing Daddy Murphy right before lunch!
Thank goodness I was needing this to get through this shift. But as always so excited
Stoked for this epic saga to continue! I know you struggled with this one, just know we all appreciate your hard work
@emily will there be a kitten and Stevy update this short rest
PUMPED
If you got a problem, you must starspawn
INSTANT fear at that title oh no
So exited
HYPE
Woooooooo
This looks like a thicc sode
