Ep. 97: Titans of the Realm (The Chosen Saga)

The resignation in Jake's voice as he's third to deal with the betrayal is so funny

The phrase "eternal help action" got me

Is Murph splitting the party?Why is he splitting the party..? Ooh. Glorious. I love it.

murph: paw paw. you are a good boy, a very good boy. boobs: mm, mmhm.

You’re my boy bleu!!!

Note for self: turdis joke and 'what an honor. what an injustice' is all in the same thicc sode 🥺

Im a broken record - how fantastic that im relistening and can still be so engrossed and surprised. I KNEW and still the twist was like brand new, just because I have been so engrossed all along and nearly forgot. How wonderful for me now. With the deepest most sincere love and admiration- FUCK YOU MURPH

THATS WHAT THAT LINE IS FROM ??? WHAT AN HONOR. WHAT AN INJUSTICE ???? MURPH DID THAT ?????

this opener alone was insane I listened to the turdis bit like 3 times.

Knowing it's coming doesn't make it easier.

Murphs voice took a beating in this one, DM'd his ass off, such an epic sode in so many ways!

"the world should have protected you, but instead you have to protect the world" really fucked me up but it also explains why I find Bev to be such a compelling character.

“What an honor. What an injustice” still sticks with me as an all time line and quote. This episode has to be one of the most incredible produced. Still gets a rose from me 4.5 years later.

this is why I'm so mad that Bev still took that obviously cursed sword ughughhjghbj

You monster, sob, brilliant yet again

Brian you evil genuis

I'm about to wrap my 5th listen through of this series and this episode still breaks me every time

Everyone had great arcs during the campaign. But Moonshine went that extra mile in my opinion. For me she is the real Alpha of the Band of Boobs.

“Hardone breaks the seal on the water skin” is one of my new favorite moments in the show lol

omg its the turdis episodeeeeee.. im not weeping you are

Thick sode!

Murph giving PawPaw the spores so she can use counterspell was *chef's kiss*

Very surprised nobody giggled at "afflicted with duty"

A big shill on your turtus

Mad props to everyone

I love this so hard god Damn it’s good storytelling

I just want Jake to know I laughed really hard at "that's a wintersault".

💙 ugh

OMG Murph I'm gonna kill you wtf

I finally got caught up after being behind for a bit and what a sode to get caught up on. 96 was great with Cordon Bleu and the Glittering Lady but the pestilence reveal was next level. I audibly yelled when Erdan was talking through the process with Bev. Major probs to Murph for building everything and to all the players for fully immerssing in the world.

This was such a thick sode

Such an intense party split. Didn't expect to see that ever again.

When you check the music for the session and you see the purge. Oh god oh fuck

The music when Malora bestows the Boob Boons™ is amazing. I've relistened to that part of the episode 3 times just to hear it again. Any chance that comes out individually eventually so I can shamelessly steal it for my own campaign?

Has anyone else wondered whatever happened to Bev's Shield of Arrow Catching? Am I forgetting something where he lost it or gave it away? Because that thing certainly would have come in handy.

Just the idea that Hardwon put his walls down then gets attack by his best friend, his sister, and his queen.

I wonder if Mavrus just woke up, went "Huh. Guess I hate them now" and went back to sleep in his lavish room.

THIS EPISODE. When PeePaw Luke asked Moonshine to learn the spell with him alone my gut was saying something is wrong. It was so tense! Insanely good. ♥️

That episode. Now that is a d&d game, was funny and sad all at once. The counter spell Emily did was so good and that cliffhanger. Ugh can't wait for the next episode. Also turdis lol

When they renamed Cordon to Budler Bleu it kept getting me because the mascot at my alma mater, Butler University, is named Butler Blue and it's a little English Bulldog.

I knew shit was about to go down when Murph started splitting them up. Great episode you evil genius

didn’t all the dwarf crew members die????

Ain't nothing like Sticky Buns & Hash Brown Stuff! Heroes are made in the kitchen!

Emily is a god at DnD lol, love that counterspell insurance setup

Oh. My. God. I never saw that coming, freaking great sode!!!!!

Man, I knew something was fishy when I realized Lucanis was sleeping...

All of you guys are amazing but damn Murph you really know how to tell a good story. Thank you guys so much for all of this.

When I prepare my scenarios I think I become quite the bastard (I compare myself often to a Bad Place Architect), but dang I have nothing on you Murph! That was wicked and beautiful! GMs have been threatened of getting beat up in Denny's parking lots for less.

God you guys are SO GOOD

It's about time murph got to do some womping of his own, the boobs were getting too comfy and he knew it haha

10/10 intro

This episode was just me going “oh Murph’s a genius” “oh Emily’s a genius” back and forth to myself for two hours. Thanks it was incredibly stressful and I’m scared

I'm equally angry, impressed, and just everything at Murph. Like that was foul, but so freaking epic!

Such a great sode! Truthfully since they defeated the tarrasque I’ve felt there are very few stakes - that no matter what the Boobs will survive. But, now I feel tense and that the Boobs will have to earn this upcoming victory.

I cannot properly express all the things this episode made me feel. Which is particularly bad since I'm sure my coworkers think I'm nuts now because of all the facial expressions I made.

Eat your fucking dice Murphy

Shoutout to the Maryland accent 😂

Oh my god this episode killed me. I cried and laughed at the same time at some points, goddammit.

At "drahgons, turdises, and robits" I accidentally shot tea out my nose.

I wish we meet Cordone earlier. I just love this fancy scaly boy so much.

Fuck you, Murph, eat a rat.

Selfless attack ❤️❤️❤️

The Turdis sounds like the place Doctor Who goes to take a dump

OMG anyone else have the same exact reaction as Caldwell? Also the almost tremor in Emily's voice as Moonshine is talking to P'Pa Luke and MeaMa as she prepares for Murph to just stab her in the gut then still frame the scene....👏 bravo Murph, SUPER HYPED for the short rest aswell.

Caldwell saying "I know I haven't said this in a long time, but FUCK YOU" Christ, Murph! You're killing us! Such a dope episode 😬

Moonshine: *prepares to counter spell herself* Me: *vigorously takes notes*

Really liked the scene of Moonshine telling the Glittering Lady that she had impressed upon Melora by saying that some of the attributes she looks up to are things that are distinctly exemplified by Tulane. Awesome moment. Bevs montage was amazing. You keep outdoing yourself with the story, Murph. Bev is going to have a tough time coping with everything after what happened though. Wonder how that all plays out. Also the last horseman. I can only imagine, going to be insanely epic.

oh god, please let Urdan and dragon boy saveable.

so that happened and then THAT HAPPENED IM SCREAMING

"How to make a titan feel like a weenie" should be the name of the episode. Love Murph raising the bar for the buffed boobs but DAMN! nearly took the boyz out in 2 rounds and moonshine burnt all her spells right after they got their upgrades. Fucking intense. Loved the ep crew. Keep it up

What are mawmaw’s stats?

Yet another perfect story from Murph😎 Nearly cried when the reveal of the boobs new abilities were😆👍

Luna reminds me of Murph in his college humor videos with Jake

5pm in Eastern Australia. It's podcastin' time!

I woke up and saw this dropped and now I can't go back to bed

You love to see it

You spoil us, Brian Murphy

Murph works himself to the bone for us, but I think we need to talk the real thing he's working to escape from. Marriage problems. More specifically, Jake's marriage problems. I know that it's not my place to address Jill's whereabouts or Jake's brutal criticisms of Murph's abilities as a dm, a man, and a husband. All I can say is that I've been practicing my hardwon voice in case Jake wants to take a quick breather to figure himself out

You didn't have too.

Murph is the #1 best of all time!!!

Thank you papa Murph

Murph my guy!

oh my gosh murph please go to bed

Yaaaaaay!
