Re-listening in 2026 because the current real world is scarier then this one
Something about the background sound ambience they use a lot in episodes like this; it makes a sound from time to time that sounds exactly like my dog when she's whining at me from another room
I swear when I’m driving I keep thinking my 1 year old daughter is whining in the backseat haha
Relistening to this in February 2025 and Jesus there’s some parallels in this episode to what’s currently happening in US politics 😬😬😬
Re-listening now, hope you're okay cause holy shit did things keep escalating ❤️
"Bigger fairy with a hammer" - Caldwell predicting 9th generation of Pokemon
Anyone else hear it as Church of Whales? 🐳
Shank is a haki man
“And that’s where we’ll end our campaign, right?” I laughed the hardest I’ve laughed in a decade.
WOO Straya!
I live for Murph's "oh no" of despair. The gangs deep mad lad energy really speaks to me.
Having recently caught up on all of your episodes, I am looking for another D&D podcast to get me to your next one but NONE OF THEM COME CLOSE to your combination of wit, story-telling, polite, familiar banter and overall feel (intro, backgrounds, music, knowledge, shenanigans, “yes...and”, and story arc). YOU GUYS ROCK!
Who else thought Petty King just meant Murph was letting them know this King was a real shit, or was that just my dumb ass?
I can’t wait until murph snaps and makes the goofs suffer consequences. Real DM hours
I love Shank and how Emily was so determined to get petty Jack she had to make a WIS save. Role playing dedication 🙏❤️
As much as I love the name Shank, there's a part of me that wants to call him Shonk. 🙃
absolutely yes #shonk
I'm from Wyoming an I had to shovel snow in September, October and November lol.
Whoa another Wyomingite! Also (judging by your profile pic) a fellow queer Wyomingite! I'm sorry, it's awful here lol
The music was sooooo good in this ep!!! It complimented the story very well!!!!
Really felt like Zonk was coming into his own in this episode, Caldwell had me cracking up from start to finish.
Betting good money the blacksmith was not a hot woman until Emily spoke it into canon.
I laughed nonstop through this entire episode, and it made me want to draw again so badly to capture Honk and Zonk on the bone barge while Fonk full-on Usain Bolts across the twilit hills and fields, a stream of cigar smoke trailing behind like a train.
Haha yeah and now gotta deal with those cliffhangers
Damn that was great. My favourite eldermourne episode so far. I miss back when I first discovered Naddpod and I could binge 70 episodes back to back!
Same hahaha listening to episodes on a weekly basis is so exciting! It's also crazy to think that there is going to be 70 episodes of Eldermourne.
You might be right, I might've misheard it
Okay whoever "PLARG OF THE THUNDERFUCKS” is, your name made me burst out laughing during the shoutouts
fully agree, one of my favorite elders atm! i could be wrong but i believe its Clarg of the Thunderfucks, and possibly a nod to The Adventure Zone bugbear of the same name
Get better soon murph! Stopping by literally 10 minutes in to this ep just to say Jake has it 100% correct -double letters in a word jumble is a dead giveaway every time.
Bookvar ia probably my favorite character so far.
I hope you feel ok Murph!! Don't push yourself too hard if you don't feel good! Get lots of rest and be comfy
Are we still brainstorming ideas for the new group name? Because I got some: "Sprite Squad", because alliterations are always fun; "The Oathbound", because that seems to become a theme with these characters; and, in keeping with the old "Band" theme and because random jokes should define an entire campaign, "The Onkestra".
“The Onkestra” is probably the best name for the crew I’ve heard yet
Can't wait to listen, hope you're feeling better Murph. Also, I didn't realize Emily made all the music for the episodes?? Is there anything she can't do?
My favorite thing about Jake and Emily's interactions is that consistently Emily will come up with crazy, random stuff and Jake is just like "Hell yeah! That's awesome!"
Loved the episode but starting to notice the common theme of Emily giving Jake a home...is Jake homeless IRL and it’s coming out in DND? Does he need help? 😂😂
Jill kicked him out. I think they cover it a lot on short rests.
Great Episode! I hate and love when you give us such juicy cliff hangers! And I was just re-listening to the Mixed Bag's for the other two DnD movies at work and am so excited that you were able to get the third one! Murph is going to hate this one so much!!!
So exited to listen to this tomorrow! Thanks for you extremely hard/tireless work as always. Hope you are feeling better soon! 💜
The rest of the campaign Henry never actually uses his halberd but just improvised weapons improved by Zonk
But the shadow does use it, and consistently fights better than Hank!
hope u feel better murph
