Eldermourne - Ep. 17: Monsters of the Mountain

This comment is 5 years late, but I just have to say: The Swedish "war king" Karl XII was famously shot and killed with a button, so Caldwell's idea to use a button as ammunition was not actually as bad as the rest of the crew made it out to be.

"it's a good way to start off the battle, it does non scaling cantrip damage that uses your third most important ability score" lol

In my mind, shank is just mr. game and watch

H y

SHOT DOGS!!! Caldwell with the punny!!

Coming back and listening to all the Time Devil talk after reading Chainsawman gave this a whole new dimension

No description of Henry will EVER stop me picturing him as having the exact body of Moe from the simpsons

I think murph has been using sanctuary wrong. it says if the creature fails the wisdom save, they lose the attack or spell, but in both this and the hexblood fight, when it was used and the attacker failed the save, murph just chose another target without having the creature lose the attack.

This is where shark really came into his own, absolutely became one of the choo choo crew here, much love ❤️

I'm so behind on Campaign 2 but I'm so glad you got my blanket!!!

Such a good episode! So many schnenagins.

I love Fia so much

So, an entire podcast but it's just Shank and Zirk mountain climbing : Good idea or best idea?

Big ups to Murph for his voices. Have a hard time picking between Penderclops and WWE Bukvar. Going to Um, Actually here and say that Initiative is 100% an ability check, so should be rolled at disadvantage under level 1 exhaustion. Bards apply their Jack of All Trades bonus to Initiative and can use Bardic or Cutting Words as well!

I even posted in the last episode about a light sword. How did no one notice it was luke skywalker

I love that Zirk finds venom and makes shampoo and finds a gun and makes a hotdog flashfryer. What a beautiful character.

Damn turns out I'm friends with the Cyclops according to the Elders shout out at the end.

Dragon Bukvar is never not funny

It would be great if the spider cushioned the Cyclops fall and comes back later on to help the Choo Choo Crew

@Michael Lawton "Shotdogs" are sold at this Cyclops baseball stadium.

This Cyclops pitches for the majors. Fucking Cyclops Nolan Ryan.

Yo Caldy's fave anime is some impeccable taste my guy

The Choo Choo Crew were in such great form this episode. I DIED at "shotdogs"

I loved the chaos, but also, big up to Murph! Love the endurance feel to the mountains. Such a great gear shift from the hex buds, but still keeping a consistent narrative. Just great work from the DM. Also after binging on "Three black halflings" I really appreciated the fairy pantheon being diverse, a tiny statement but really liked it. ♥️

This is the first episode of Naddpod I’m listening to as it comes out after binging since November! Love it!

Senior year of college my roommate and I drove all night to Punxsutawney PA for Groundhog Day and around 5 am just before they brought Phil out the emcee started firing hot dogs into the crowd from a t shirt cannon- don't let your dreams be dreams Third Mates!

I love the hostility shank has towards the rest of the party, it's just such a funny dynamic to have someone along who's just so annoyed about everything the crew does

As someone who works at a climbing gym and goes out all winter to ice climb, these last two episodes have had me in absolute stitches. I love it

the clicking to notify the group of danger is such a dumb goofy bit, I love it so much 😂 great sode, thanks!!

So just as a heads up to the crew (in case they read these): characters have the same max carrying capacity flying as they do walking. Someone strong enough might be able to carry the other two, thereby only needing one potion for all three.

Anyone feel the moralizing of Zerks mothers gun kinda peculiar? I think crafting and selling weapons where monsters are literally everywhere is a huge step up from selling bunk cures to the desperate.

The music that Emily mixed for the cliff climb (prior to spider and cyclops) was so bangin'. Loved it!

PENDERGREENS

Just want to say how much i love this podcast and how Murph, Em, Jake, Caldwell, Lou, Zac, and the GANG have been such a huuuuge inspiration. So much so I'm proud to annouce the first Ep of Arc 1 released of the liveplay pod I'm DMing. Couldn't have had the guts to try it without listening to you guys and feeling the joy and laughing along with y'all first. Just wanted to say thank you! You guys are an amazing inspiration.

I just scared the shit out of a bunch of nursery kids that were walking over Hampstead Heath by LOSING MY MIND laughing when murph first did the dumb spider noises and Jake accused it of being the Tasmanian Devil?! Why is no one else screaming about this my sweet lord

Cyclops was a knob

Of course Caldwell would spill his dice

I saw a snail earlier, it was odd because I havent seen one in years.

Cadwell doing some Giorno Giovanna moves with his Button

Pour one out for Penderclops

Shot Dogs! Shot Dogs! Get your shot dogs right here!

Ok this is EXTREMELY DODGY RHYMING but I got the phrase “Ponytail Polyphemus” stuck in my head listening to this so I wrote a quick and dirty version of We Didn’t Start The Fire for this episode (also you might need to have an Australian accent for some of these rhymes to work that’s my excuse) ***SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE EP IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED YET** (Chorus) We cannot climb these mountains We tried to clamber But we had no crampons We cannot climb these mountains Chronal shifting Does some heavy lifting (Verse) Ponytail Polyphemus Sounds a lot like Pendergreen/ghast Booty shorts start showing balls Murph will quit the pod-cast Zerc goes down, Hank goes down, Oh my god these rocks hit hard! Dragon-breath from Bukvar, Fia clambers like a spider (Chorus) Hank comes up, grapples harder Hucks that cyclops at a spider Nat 20, they both die! Kill nine-eyes-worth of bad guys We can climb these mountains Had to scramble, but we made the hand-holds We can climb these mountains Time devil’s helping, and Bukvar’s yelping (Verse) Bandits shooting, Buk’s in a mess- And that’s where we’ll end the sesh

What if we make it a patreon stretch goal for Murph to get more sleep

TRANSPOOORTED!

15min into the episode and those are some classic murph rolls. Pickle your dice, king

OMG! "They're not even weighted, they've just been touched by you!"

Oh thank you daddy Murphy for these blessings you give us this fine Thursday night 🙏

Loving how Cadwell is playing with these magical tinkers. An in game justification to pull shenanigans.

So ready for another late evening with these guys!

Exactly what I need after work

Once again, this finds me in the thralls of the Priory!

I'm so ready for this to make my day!

Feels great to finally be caught up, I'm a little sad I can't binge these anymore.

These podcasts are always the highlight of my week! I can’t wait to listen to this one tomorrow :)
