Ulthgar Goes Indubitably
I know this is 6 years or something later. But Apple/Siobhan clutching up and fearing a bunch of dwarves back into the fight is baller as hell. I love that moment. Its great role play to start and then its useful mechanics too.
third listen in 2026 (2022, 2024 and now), the double crit joke hurts more each time 🥲
“Fuck my dick.” -Hardwon Surefoot 😂
I lost my mind when they asked for their champion
Oof. The year of the double crit and all the sharing spit jokes are so painful now.
Just remember the double crit was AGAINST US. So they were right just not how they thought
Love this fight but man vanilla d&d rules for giant monsters are so bland
Bev’s inspiring speech before the battle is one of the most underrated, hilarious moments in the pod.
I swear jake rolled a 20 a few episodes ago that should have triggered the curse potion
Epic.
Ahhhh the dramatic irony 😢
The two nat 20s are what the Universe rolled, on attack rolls, against us. So narratively speaking it was a great year.
I'm sorry everyone else had a bad 2020, I always feel really bad that it was such a catastrophe for the world but I can't help but think of the year when my partner and I just got to stay home with our cats and play video games and watch Naruto as one of the best years of my life.
2020 drank the curse potion so it's actually two 1s
This intro aged like fine wine. 2020 was a great year for eveyone.
I'm freaking the fuck out Siobhan and Zack in one episode
I literally screamed ahaha
Not that anyone will see this 4 years later but caldwell's mothra/godzilla reference got no love in the room and I'm here to correct that
I'm here for you! Caldwell gets a rose from the future!
Lmao
Made it back around to this episode again and the intro still sends me into so many emotions lol if only you knew boobs if only you knew
2023 and the year of the crit still hurts
Back a year later. Still hasn’t gotten any better sorry past me. It’s not great buddy.
Love sparila being pregnant because we know that tiny babe
Hardwon had rolled a natural 20 in a previous episode. I think 2 episodes before this.
on a Dex save or check! It always bugs me when I re-listen lol
The year of the crit - but we forgot that hardwon was still cursed!
the ones who got crit was us! T.T
Yeah just giving this a relisten the "year of the crit." is pretty sad/funny in hindsight.
Hindsight makes that "2020 best year of our lives" comment preeeetty funny 😂
Us* :(
'2020 Year of the Crit" but the monkeys paw here is that it's a Crit against
Frozen hearts
I was F*CKING NOT expecting Zach back 😭😭😭
I WASN'T READY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 EVERYONE IS BACK
How dare that Tarrasque lay an undead tooth on Bev!! Oh man.
I'm re-listening to all the episodes. Just got to episode 82 and Jake rolls a nat 20 on a Con save. Surely that roll should of been a 1 and not the Bev saving nat 20??? Or am I just really hoping Bev isn't dead lol
this is exactly what I’m doing hahaha, wondering the exact same thing!
Brian you're grounded, go to your room
I screamed when Zac showed up, then again for Siobhan. Then Murph took away all of my happiness forever. This one had a lot of ups and downs, is what I'm saying.
MURPH YOU MONSTER
I like how Apple says she lifts Beverly up to give the help action rather than how Moonshine just says "help action". It makes the story a lot more emersive
They usually describe how they're giving the help action. A little slack isn't hard to give for the times they forget.
Duuuuuuude what a twist what a surprise in the middle wowzers wow :D
The ending of this episode had me screaming no outloud! Jesus such a tight episode
It may have just been my podcast player but my episode was missing the last half hour? It just cut off in the middle of the fight
Will Ryan the Ram come in to save them all???
i need the short rest... we got to discuss this cliff hanger
Oh gawd a terrasque. Wtf Murphy Jesus. Caldwell pls just get some loaded dice for next session thanks. Bev has to survive or this is going to be painful 😣
The minute I heard the Tarrasque my jaw dropped, that monster is truly a party killer. Daddy Murph you picked the best the Monster Manuel has to offer. I look forward to the rest of the fight, god speed Band of Boobs! Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat!
Hey quick question Brian what the fuck
NO OUR SWEET BABY BOY!
Why in the actual fuck did you have to do this to me
How could you do this to us? I was so excited for Mavris and Apple and then you go and do this. Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat.
I’m so happy about this entire episode. Pure gamer goodness!
Truly truly a thicc sode. Love that there’s some stakes.
this was brilliant but i cordially invite murph to eat my entire ass
Hey Brian? What the fuck?
Egg plant emoji to this episode.
Rule lawyer time : - Since Cooter didn't play the first round, didn't he have an action ready to heal anyone who fell down? - Could the pirates be used to give help actions to people who can actually hope to hit the Tarrasque, by distracting it at key moments?
If Bev dies I'm hoping he finds himself in the afterlife to a familiar "hey Slim"
if young bev dies, we riot at dawn
I am trying to calm down by convincing myself that Zack has revivify stocked.
So sorry to ruin it for you, but draconic bloodline sorcerers do not have Revivify
I've heard of cliffhangers, but this is ridiculous.
*this is ridiculous*
Murph, you deserve to reread all the Sonic Adventure Handbooks by yourself after this
#wherewasbalnor Was Balnor fighting? Or because the rounds were so long did I just miss it?
He made a bunch of attacks! Even crit oncr
I goddamn hatelove this podcast.
Murph.... you son of a bitch.
That cursed nat20... the dice is sentient i'm afraid BUT MURPH, #STRONGCALDWELLTHEORY
Epic!
Ok Brian I am literally pissed! How dare you! I'm so damn stressed! Aaahhhhhh!
OMGGGGG YOU GUYS GOT MAVRIS AAAAAAA
Wtf murph.
WOW MURPH
Murph, you beautiful monster
Murph hates Caldwell theory confirmed
He's still mad about the #StrongCaldwell incident
I never, in my wildest dreams, would have thought a comedy D&D podcast would have me so emotionally invested in its characters!! It has been a wild ride and I truly cannot wait for what is coming next.
Question for fellow naddpoles- If Bev dies next ep, do we think Murph will let him be reincarnated? In Hardwons case Melora said she could do it because his vampiric death was “unnatural” ... IM SO STRESSED I DONT WANT TO LOSE OUR BABY BOY
Anyone else kept hearing the avengers music when they were on the wall getting ready?
Tonathan Tinkle will come rescue Bev
That's what I'm hoping for! Like his owl comes with Spare The Dying like it did against the Watcher!
Love the surprise guest stars and love/hate the ending (Murph you madman)
What an emotional roller coaster. I just can't... How dare you guys make me feel so many feels...
Now we have to wait a week before we know what happens *cries*
YOU MONSTER MURPH
They need to be more strategic. They've got so much to work with.
Truly an epic episode. Fuck, I'm so upset tho.
It’s our murphday Now, eat your murphday cake
I hate my Murphday.
Brian, you ruined my Thursday.
Such an amazing episode! Forgot about the curse and the Nat 1 - such a poetic way for it to come back, can’t wait for the next one!!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MURPH!
Murph WTF are you doing man, that is gonna give me serious anxiety issues till next week!
BRIAN WHY
BRIAN
The 20 seconds where they say the phrase “eat my ass!” like 10 times is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.
This is some avengers level shit!
Such a great thicc ‘sode!!!
YO MURPH! WTF MAN!
OMFG THE END
I cannot wait until next week. What the hell. I am on the edge of my EVERYTHING
Tonathan TInkle... please come back
Hardwon : I GOT A ONE! Tonathan TInkle : Make that an 18.
Has the BoB completely forgotten about their Shadowfell and Feywild allies?
What happened to you Murph, you used to be cool.
MURPH WHY but also thank you for everything. I’m gonna cry
Oooooh what a lovely surprise!
Omg I’m dying most brutal cliffhanger ever 😭 love you guys happy new year!
At 33 minutes: Moonshine: mentions Mavrus. Me: Zac isn't in this episode, he's not in the episode summary. *Zac starts speaking* Me: what is going on? At 40 minutes: Murph mentions Apple Scrumpers. Me: what the fuck is going on?!
That was my mood until everything went wrong
I’m truly losing my mind
.... I’m literally speechless I can’t like what just happened. Oh my Pelor I thought I was ready but NOPE I didn’t think my heart could break anymore.
SIOBAAAAN!
ZAAAAC!
happy new year??? exTREMELY SPICY ENDING
I can't. That ending. 😭
It's going to be so weird here in Caldwell do Balnor's voice from now on.
I feel like if NADDPOD was a play, Cooter would be the narrator.
Whelp, time to cook up a new reincarnate table.
Just watch Bev come back as a goliath, taller and beefier than Hardwon.
Hi Murph, one quick question. Why you gotta do me like this?
Thanks for keeping it a surprise!
Woah. Such a rollercoaster of emotions listening to this ... can't wait for next week!
Murph, Emily, Caldwell, Jake- thanks for all that you do. The content you create brings me joy, making me look forward to each week.
Muuuuuuuuurrrrrph!
Murph why?!
No no no oh god no I'm scared now
Happy New Year! This episode made me feel the full range of emotions so I guess we're all starting off the new year right
Okay I was NOT expecting this many surprises, hell I even forgot it was coming out today but my jaw hit the floor so much.
This is already hilarious. “Rip those textbooks in half” 😂😂😂
I was like yo, and then I was like yoo, and then I was like yooooooooo
This. Exactly this.
Happy New year!
Damn, I’d forgotten it was Thursday!
Let the games begin!!
