Ep. 86: Hell Breaks Loose (The Hellfire Chronicles)

Emily is REAALLLLLY good at making me tear up at work.

Binged campaign 1 this far in about two weeks, and kind of stunned that listening to a group of people playing make believe is just absolutely busting my emotions, like the best of any epic novel or movie. So cool.

I’m at 1:30:14 and my app keeps freezing. I’m sweating and swearing omgggggg. 😂

The port key omg im crying allll over again

this ep is so fucking fantastic. Hardwon with those two clutch crits 🔥

Have listened to almost all of campaign 1 now. From Paw Paw’s first introduction I’ve been able to imagine a possum, so why, ever since the Boobs first met Maw Maw, have I only ever been able to visualise her as a capybara?! I don’t understand!! 🙈😩🤪🙃

Crit city bitch, crit, crit city bitch, twen, twen, twen, twenties on yo crities, bitch!

Okay so years old, I know, but Murph specifically said Cooter had potions

Holy shit, Hardwon. I was dancing when he hit that third roll at the end. What a roller coaster! Good call on Emily for remembering Cooter’s reaction. The tension with Bev, Marcus, and Erlin was hilarious. Lovely having return guests.

If only Apple's 197 hit points could have been on the front line with Bev.

It's PAINFUL relistening to this knowing what happens 😭

Wow, what a helluva ending

This episode has OFFICIALLY made me a believer in the dice devil. Praise be 🙏

You guys gave me almost multiple heart attacks and cries with this rollercoaster of death rolls and saves 😅

Anyone else see an epic Thor moment when Hardwon catches the hammer with his left hand ?

Why was Apple exhausted / didn’t get an attack near the beginning?

I have been delaying listening to this but OMG yassss. Yes thank you! So so SO good! From nothing to that. Prostrate myself before hard-won (I mean yall were epic but those last few minutes or so were so epic)

Best. Episode.

I could not be more obsessed with this show if I tried. Incredible episode y'all, thank you Murph for consistently mindblowing storytelling!!!!!

Jake's joke "talk about a stretch goal" referring to his puckered butthole was absolute gold and got no response🤣🤣

brian murphy. for context, jake basically takes god-child donations on 'if i were you' - and after that thicc 'sode, i would like to pledge my future children to your god-daddydom. you are weaving the most intricate and tear-jerky of storytelling webs. consider me firmly in awe. and tears. (but i'll be fine.)

Today it finally clicked that when hardwon was throwing his hammer to he said the line about not being greedy because he fought for the kingshammer in the Greed circle of Hell 😩 😭Honestly, do ye plan this shit?

"Roll a d2" is just a favorite line you'll only hear in tabletop rpgs.

@Murph, This episode has had so much tension in it with all the close calls and the cool Thinking Cap stuff. Brain Goddamn Murphy you are my hero.

WOW!!!! Great sode!!!!

That was the all time greatest Nat 20

How dare you almost kill Balnor

That was one hell of a sode.

Holy SHIT

I was so hype during this ep, way to go Murph you insane glorious bastard

In hindsight, of COURSE Hardwon got the killing blow. This was the most animal-like of the hollow godies, after all.

This whole episode was sooo clutch

You guys really out did yourselves with this last episode. I cried twice in this episode! HUGE rose to Murph. You created one crazy awesome story!

Jesus CHRIST Brian

Feel bad for bev 1. he never got a chance to exact revenge on the dino after being targeted super hard 2. erlan is mad at him after he shows up to rescue 3. he can’t hit the dang joobaloob 4. Had to sit and watch some huge plays from everyone else in the party You’ll get your chance to shine young bev!!

Got all teary listening to this one, I love the boobs so much, I love how far theyve come. Murph, you do such good work, I wouldnt trade any of these episodes for anything. Its all perfect, frick the h8trs <3

The dice Christ was kind!!!

Anyone else kinda of heartless bastard and disappointed no one died?

WHAT A 'SODE!!!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING

Solid gold 'sode! Just all around.

Um this episode made me fucking laugh, cry, gave me chills, immediately had my stomach drop to my ass, had chills again....... this is my favorite episode. Ever.

God damn, Daddy Murph. You magical storyteller.

Love you Murph, doing great work. Haters gonna hate

Beautiful

Mavris just being thrown into that love triangle between Bev and Erlen and then leaning into it was so funny 😂

What a ‘sode. I cannot believe that the boobs all lived.

Such a good episode! Even though the week wait was anxiety inducing, it was definitely worth it

That. Was a thic sode. My heart was beating so fast and my fitbit told me to breathe! AH.

Cant the mages have just cast a teleport spell on the all caster?

Feel bad for Mavris because Sunbeam immediately poses disadvantage on oozes. This episode was so stressful and heartbreaking, I'm really upset by it! Thank you Murph I cannot stand this.

You cannot convince me that the voice in the Thinking Cap /isn't/ Akarot.

Thanks dungeon daddy Murph!!!

This episode really played with my emotions. Praise be Dice Christ!!!

There’s a lot to love (and I’m not quite done) but what I really appreciate is Murph giving Moonshine (and therefore Emily) the room to be the leader. Even though she’s forced to make serious decisions that would not have been fun as a PC, Emily really shines in that capacity. She’s such a talented player and tactician, and it is joyful to see her lead the team! The type of player we aspire to be: centered on her team, what is right for both herself and the world, and truly brilliant and creative. Thanks for this!

Best sode ever...

One of the best episodes!! Omg the stress I felt. the joy. I know this episode is filled with battles but it's so engaging, the mechanics are so fun and all the little roleplay moments in between are immaculate plus the spectacular guests interactions gdi it's so good. ROSES TO EVERYONE but the biggest ROSE to daddy Murph!

I knew it was going to be great but holy shit it was even better than I expected. I already know I'm going to be relistening to these past 2 episodes at least 10 times while waiting for the next one

I laughed, I cried, I found myself shouting out with the band of boobs in both their victories and failures

Holy shit this was such a fucking journey

THICK SODE, SO THICK!!!

I'm getting so many strange looks at work... Legit cried when moonshine talked about deadeye to Cobb - I was very surprised with my own reaction 😂

WHAT A SODE

Loved it

I thought she was plugging america for a second and I was just so confused.

I literally jumped off the couch and cheered at the end. My girlfriend looked at me like I was crazy.

Unbelievably good ep I'm extremely shook

I feel so good!! I’m so ready for the next episode!!

My god, sitting in my car outside of work and not going in until ive finished this sode. Who cares if im late.

Just in case, Em, you have 2 charges now.

Damn now I know why it took so long to edit! 👀

That Hardwon crit made me jump up on my bed and hurt my broken ankle, but it wa so fucking good!!!!

That was SO satisfying.

This was a Prime-Meaty episode

I've probably refreshed this page about 100 times today. Can't wait to finally hear it!!!

kick its tarrasque!!!!!

Thank you Daddy

We appreciate you Murph and the bob as well

All hail the Dice Christ

So funny hearing them clearly still playing in the same session while I've had a week of anxiety since last ep.

Thank Bahuamet and Jesus and all of em

Thanks for the ep murph!! It’s 1AM in NY right now but I’m so ready to find out about Bec

Praise Dice Christ!

Thank you Daddy Murphy

Uggggh my friend and I made a pact to listen together

Worth the wait.

Straight on!!!

YESSSS
