Short Rest: Eldermourne - Ep. 17: Monsters of the Mountain

6tg

I wear shorts year round until it drops below like 20°F. Yall are ding dang crazy.

I was eating when Jake described the umbilical cord going out the door and I cant finish my sammich

them losing their shit over a small mechanical decision on Jake's part is crazyyyyyy the umbilical cord bit is great

As a father of 2 under 2, and someone with sensory issues, please don't make me wear pants :(

the US outbreak was the worst? wtf info were they listening to lmao its always fun hearing lies people would believe

Time Devil has real Night Yorb energy

I haven’t seen my dad’s legs in my 32 years of life. Never. I’ve also almost never seen his arms. The man mows his lawn in the middle of August in jeans and a hoodie. Also screwball rocks, fight me Murph!

I was playing stardew valley and listening to this ketted s it was such a wild one

I for sure had a jean dad they're out there.

Omg soso late and so many comments wasn't sure but YES the turtle in the fridge is a thing so long as you work closely with your exotic vet on all aspects of properly assisting brumation in this way 💗❤️😴🐢

I want Jake on Smartypants like right now!! I just know it'd be incredible.

Parpa the rapper reference! Nobody ever knows what the fuck I am signing when I sing, “kick, punch, it’s all in the mind. If you wanna test me, I’ll see you’ll find.”It’s a joke that never hits. Maybe my older brother laughs at it occasionally.

Of course Brian Murphy drinks screwball

Listening to the come to australia pawsome powerpoint and knowing they got to eventually go warms my heart yall :)

listening to this, knowing that the campaign ends around lvl 12 combined with the fact that emily said that they would become cool around lvl 12 is wild

"That's why my mom lives with us" master punchline

Holy moly this murph roast is so d*rn funny.

Yes!! Please come to Australia! 😍

Ive never been more glad that i pay for the short rest, the possum slideshow changed my fucken life

I am now trying to imagine Scomo listening to NADPPD 😂

Please come to Australia! Our possums are so much cuter than Opossums. We have sugar gliders (a type of possum) that are basically like the hang glider from BOTW. Brisbane has a really great sanctuary called Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary (it has plenty of other native animals 2) and a man made beach (southbank) by the river. The Gold Coast (about 2 hours from Brisbane) has a bunch of cool amusement parks and great hotels and beaches. I would die if you came to QLD. But also I understand these things are very complicated. All my love, Sarah

nathan defense squad, prismatic spray rules and some of us love that crunchy spell fuckery

Why is Kevin Sorbo a bad guy?

I love how I tune out for a minute when they're talking about Henry being lucky and come back to babies and whether or not people cut the umbilical cord.

No notes for the possums?!? Also did some research on the turtle situation. Some places experience warm winters and this disturbs the hibernation process, so it's actually recommended to keep them in the fridge ALL winter

Listening to you guys gush about the adorable possums of Australia is peak podcast listening. 👌🏻😻

Come to NZ. We love possums... Awkward 🐢

I lived in Melbourne for a year. I had one of these possums almost fall on my head while eating fruit from someone's tree. Another time two of them got in the roof of our apartment. It sounded like to banshees screeching at each other all night. Super cute but so scary sounding.

Delayed on listening this short rest, but i need to defend peanut butter whiskey real quick. Admittedly, it’s disgusting by itself. Mix that shit with hot chocolate, and you’ve got yourself a boozy, liquid Reese’s Cup. Give it a try and tell me I’m wrong.

Yes! Please come to Melbourne!! (Full disclosure - best possum place is in Healesville, which is an hour out but incredibly worth it)

To offset Jake taking the lucky feat, you could just give your NPCs the lucky feat aswell and have them use their luck points on the same rolls that Jake does. 5e rules says that the points would cancel each other out. That’d be funny to see in a boss fight

YAY PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA!

I live in Colorado*, but if you go to Australia, definitely go to some sort of reptile sanctuary or something! There are tons of blue tongue skink species native to Australia. They are probably the some of the cutest reptiles! One of the cutest Australian skink species is the shingleback - they look like pinecones! (Plus, back here in the states, some Australian species are available as pets - we have a northern blue tongue skink!) *Please do a show near Boulder when it's safe!

I need Zirk to have Farrah fawcett bangs so badly

I want to see the PowerPoint!

Short rest, the only podcast where you can listen to a live reading of an Australian possum PowerPoint and be equally persuaded to go there

I think it’s really funny that Caldwell, who played avid Dad Collector Beverly Toegold V, is now himself a dad. it seems like the real Dad was inside you all along!

Instead of Melbourne, come to Adelaide, South Australia! We’re already hosting live events! We just wrapped up our month long fringe festival! (Arts festival)

Can fia learn portent?

who the heck is this wildlife conservationalist and where do you work, i wanna rock up in my 2 crew hat

Another crazy thing about Halfling luck is that you can take the Bountiful Lucky feat and basically give your whole party Halfling luck.

YES come to Australia. We already have live events and stadiums at 100% capacity

Okay Caldwell I need that link to the four reptile friends. Can't find it!!

When Jake said he had a surprise I briefly thought he would read the letter. Apparently I'm not over it yet!

What if jake took the unlucky feat instead. Force monsters to reroll 3 times per day. Hank just radiates bad luck.

Can't believe I waited so long to subscribe for the Short Rest. These are hilarious. I'm on a mad NADDPOD dash right now. I'm over 75% through Campaign 1!

Spring = rebirth ??? Easy clap

Ew! The umbilical cord thing was so cringey!!! 😬😂😂

I have sooo many short rest to watch but I’m hype to be a actual member now!!

We already have live events in Australia! And Queensland has Australia Zoo! It's iconic!

The idea that Murph's mum not only didn't cut the umbilical cord but also never delivered the afterbirth is insane to me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Please come to Brisbane when you come to Australia!!

Jeans only? Come to Queensland and say that!

The Big Bangs Bros

Please bring a show to Melbourne. I work for a 250 seat theatre and can confirm we’ve been allowed to do performances since roughly Christmas.

I'd love if you guys came to NZ but if I have to go to Australia to see you this time I will.

Paladin Murph wading into chaotic waters! Cream colored shirts, crunchy PB whiskey, Big Bang docs, oh my!

Please if you come to Australia don't skip out on Perth like so many international artists. We have so much to offer and you will not regret it.

The Australian possum segment was so good! As an Australian, when they were talking about PawPaw in C1, my first thought was our small cute possums and I had NO idea that American possums were massive hahaha

Australia forever, we have live events. Covid is *over*

This may be a silly question but how do I listen to the rotating heros podcast? I haven't seen it posted on the patreon page, but I might just be missing something. Thanks!

Definitely come to Melbourne, the possums in Flagstaff gardens let you pet them.

Great episode but immensely disappointed it wasn’t called “Short Shorts Rest”

My favorite way to experience a slideshow is definitely it being described in podcast form lol

My dad is a fashionista and I love him

Anyone have a lead on Caldwell's 4 cute reptile friends eating together tiktok video? That sounds like something our eyes all kind of need now...

i googled the pygmy possum and almost started crying theyre so small

I am not a dad, but I am anti-jean. I haven't worn jeans in almost 8 years. I recently bought a pair of specifically total-flex since I can actually move in them and they are actually comfortable. I am also the guy who wears shorts in the winter because I run hot(I live near Seattle)

Please guys if you ever make it to Australia you've gotta come to Perth

Peanut butter whiskey is actually pretty good when its with stuff! Like a pb&j shot or in a milkshake

I just restored my halfling bard WITH lucky feat... it’s funny because I never used either Halfling Luck and used Lucky I think like 3 times in my entire time with them. I guess I was just... lucky to not need them

Okay but the gay subtext with Irina and Fia is deliberate right?? Discovering magic with your childhood friend, getting caught, a puritanical religious community ostracising you for it??? Someone tell me I’m not totally projecting

Oh my!!! My cheeks hurt from laughing at the lucky debate

Gandalf is a paladin and also is technically an angel. He’s one of the Maia, which is basically the equivalent to being a demigod in Greek mythology.

Gandalf is a Paladin.

Dunkle Caldewell with the FFTA reference! I’ve been replaying that recently and feel very seen haha

I'm gonna be a new Jeans Dad!! How do I join the anti-shorts collation?

zirk always seems like he has jarvis cocker bangs

Gandalf the fighter is insane!

oh no I love making slide shows but don't know how I would convince Americans to come to Canada for a live show

I'm usually partial to straight whiskey but Skrewball is good shit. Put some respect on it!

Fool of a Took, I have arcane recovery! That made me laugh for much longer than I care to admit

Gandalf’s absolutely a Paladin. He has really weak magic but swings his sword with holy power. He summons shadowfax (what one might call a STEED). Plus it’s been well-documented that he instilled courage into the hearts of the warriors at minas tirith when the witch king attacked (aura of courage). I rest my case

Wait wouldn't getting Shank be considered being lucky compared to Hanks other past lives? Murph himself said Hank's shadow was not due to the curse. It was reaper related so maybe being touched by the god gave him some luck. He also now knows he's cursed and he has friends to help him vs his previous lives.

Ah yes peanut butter skrewball. We sell it at Costco. You need something to go with it. Chambord raspberry liqueur is a good one for pb&j shots. Skrewball mudslides and peanut butter white Irish.

Reminded me of this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3jpksw/gandalf_was_really_just_fighter_with_int18/?sort=top

Murph's comment about bangs making the characters look uncool made me laugh more than it should have! Any time I want to make a hot character, I almost always give them baby bangs lol. If powerpoints are encouraged, I will 100% send the 2 crew a powerpoint making the case for a Vegas show.

Omg yes please come to Australia! You’ll probably have to go through the two week quarantine though, but live events are back and happening for us

naming these "1" is just next level chaos energy

Putting turtles in the fridge is normal. They need to hibernate but they wont do it if it's not cold. And it's not cold if you live in California.

Come to Melbourne, the beer is cold, the possums are rascals and the banter is good! NaddPod got so many of me and my other friends in Melbourne through the world's longest lockdown. We will shout y'all some tins when you get out here! Shorts optional! Also, the hot springs also have a -20(C) cold cave. And look up Leadbeater Possums!!!

Live shows are a-okay in Brisbane Australia so if Melbourne isn't allowed they probably will be soon! I don't know what the deal is with flights and who's allowed in but right now, once you're here you've got to spend two weeks in hotel quarantine, so... (Melbourne is awesome but Brisbane is also pretty rad and like, if you're here already....)

Yes come to Melbourne!!

Yesssss thank you to whoever did the Australian PP! Can’t wait for a Melbourne show!! Also, our possums really are delightful! Cheeky, but delightful.

OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA (MELBOURNE) IT WOULD MAKE MY 2021!!!

Not related to the ep, but if Em is still having issues with the cats in her veggies, then add some coffee grounds to your compost. Natural cat repellant!

Please come to Australia!!! I will give up everything to see you guys!!!

I feel like this was extra chaotic today, I love it.

Sitting on my floor googling pictures of possums.

My dad used to be a Jeans Dad until he was fifty. When he first got a pair of jogging pants he nearly threw them away without even trying them on because he said I was laughing at him. He now is a double agent - Jeans Dad in public and Jogging pants at home. I still cannot believe that we wore jeans at home for so long.

As someone who has climbed for the past 17 years, never climb tandem!!! Loved the outcome though and am absolutely stealing these mechanics for my players

I just want to say that nothing in this whooooole podcast makes me laugh harder then when Emily roast Murph

Jake needs to bring his case for Luck Points to D&D Court

Some turtles and tortoises hibernate and placing them in a fridge or other climate controlled (AND WELL VENTILATED) space to simulate the weather they would get in the wild is part of maintaining their health. I personally have a dedicated minifridge for the winter for my russian tortoises.

PENDERGREENS

Shorts are the best I always run hot, so they are amazing.

The highest level spell Gandalf ever casts is 2nd leve (heat metal.) He also duel wields a staff and a long sword. He’s a fighter with some feats or 3 levels in wizard. Gandalf’s a martial character prove me wrong.

I love that as soon as I turn on some music this drops
