Emily is real life magic
“I feel like I’m gonna crit on my turn” I will never ever doubt Emily in my life again. Her devotion to dice Christ (and her respectful deference to the dice devil) is admirable
The music change at 1:26:59 is fanfuckingtastic!
The music change has made me complete accept Fig being a rock star in Fantasy High
hot diggetty DAMN You guys this is my first ever listen through and I am so deeply invested in this damn story !!! I love being alive !!!
*C4 Spoiler* Ah this where jake came up with the idea for his campaign 🤣
You know the story is good when, on your second listen, you're on the edge of your seat with tears in your eyes. 🌹💕
Have you ever sobbed so hard you start laughing?????
I’m a super latecomer to the show (started in early October 2023), so I just got to this episode, and this ep and the last had me in tears! The roleplaying and DMing is just incredible. Both looking forward to and dreading the next several episodes - I know I have the next two campaigns (and lots of side fun!) to look forward to, but it will be hard to say goodbye to these characters I’ve come to love to much! 😭
So long after the episode but this one was such a gut punch! Truly stunning work from everyone, I loved it as much as it hurt :( any Pawpaw scene in these later ep nearly makes me cry!
I think the wraith turning into Hardwon and saying “I have small calves” and Hardwon begging Moonshine to kill him for it is one of the top ten funniest moments of the entire podcast.
Moonshine's been wearing the thinking cap for so long that Emily actually developed the power to see the future
I cried 4 times listening to this. So good!
Literally kept running into people in work because I was so distracted listening to this. You guys broke me! 😭😭
Hardwon was ready to accept his death to save the day, EPIC ROLEPLAY!
Awaken Pawpaw and left him deal with his issues.
The dynamic between Hardwon and Moonshine makes me cry, I can’t even
I love you guys! Thank you so much for a great show every time!
Man I love this. The original reason I started subscribing to the Patreon was because of the “shout out to the Three Cree.” For obvious reasons. Now I can’t go without the short rests. This is my favorite podcast and my only regret is that I can’t afford to give you more money every month. Haha thank you!
Fully cried
The entire scene at the end freaking WRECKED me. Caldwell's description of the wildflowers blooming from tears, and his andJake's roleplay overall was phenomenal. Definitely one of the most vivid scenes in the podcast. Love you guys so goddamn much <3
Murph deserves a hot cup of Jawjaw for this storyline 😭
BRUH THE END
what a sode!! you guys honestly
Dude. You guys. Wow
1s and 20s for sure! Amazing ep!
A bushel of roses for making me just put down what I was doing and sit and cry while listening ❤️❤️❤️
Lydia FUCKING Stormborn! What a QUEEN!
I take a knee.
HOLY MOLY. I took the super long way to work this morning because of how THICC this 'sode was. I laughed, I cried, I want to kiss all of you on the face for the beautiful work you do. <3
Don't mean to razz you guys, but the wording of death ward us that if an effect outright kills you, without taking damage, (power word kill, or in this case moonshines failed con save), the effect is cancelled, and the spell ends. Again just want make sure the Boobs are as safe as possible fighting Thiala
The spell that took her down to zero did not outright kill her! Murph specifically said that Moonshine was down to zero.
Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out over Paw Paw Gump love :,)
Amazing!! Didn't think this ep was going to end on such a good note!! What a thicc sode, already need to re-listen!
3 HORSES LEFT. Gosh, that was such a rollercoaster! Another brilliant episode! I learned that I need to praise dice christ and pickle my dice more. The rolls were amazing.
I need to stop listening to Naddpod on public transport because I go from trying to stiffle my laughter to blinking away my tears within two minutes and I must look fucking insane. Great job on the episode!
Was anyone else screaming COUNTERSPELL when moonshine got power word killed? It made the moment better story wise that she didn’t but god damn moonshine making me cry every episode lately.
She'd already used her reaction!
Crying over Moonshine in the library, exactly what she wouldn’t want
arguably exactly what she WOULD want. ~Emily
the “I’m going to crit” to the nat 1s for the wraith luck check and the death save to a crit on the death save... Emily what dice are you USING
okay, lemme walk you through my crazy dice process for moonshine. I have collected thirteen (13!!) thematically appropriate Moonshine d20's. Everytime we sit down to play, I roll them all to see who is rollin' "hot" and who is rollin' "interesting." From that, I choose about three to grab from during a session. A dice that rolls a 1 during my vetting rolls is actually a strong contender to get used because I think it's tryin' to tell some stories. I think I might have been grabbing my "interesting" dice more in the episode. ~Emily
That was a damn good episode! I was worried for everyone!
THIS WAS SO INTENSE
Well, I got so excited while listening I screamed and jumped like I was watching the Super Bowl. Idk who’ll make it out alive at the end of it all, but we all need another day off of flying on the elemental plane.
Fun fact: the opposite of death anti-matter? Brown stuff.
Damn Lucanus pulling some straight up anime moves
Moonshine could NOT have been prouder in that moment. She's gotta see him as soon as she can cause she's feelin' bad she didn't live in that teaching her her first arcane spell moment with him even though he was so proud! And she almost lost him! ~Emily
I'm guessing based on the episode title the horse not the wraith was the bad guy all along
Moonshine crittin on death, 3 horses left
BRIAN MURPHY IS A GENIUS OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY GUYS THANK YOU FOR A GUT HEART WRENCHING BUT HOPE FILLED EPISODE. WHAT A SODE!
Thicc freaking sode.
69 damage... Nice 😭
That was some episode. Wow
Considering how much I've been enjoying the cohesion with Brian, Em, Brennan and Siobhan on dropout imma have to bump up this subscription for that juicy mixed bag. Another absolutely amazing episode, guys 🤟🏽
Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat
There better be fanart of the Moonshine/PawPaw crit + Emily/Moonshine saying she's gonna crit.
Holy crap. This was one of the all time great episodes.
Nice sode; I cried
Holy shit what a rollercoaster
You guys are going to give me a heart attack.
Thank dice christ, my commute to work will be a breeze now
Thank you daddy Murph 🙌
