Eldermourne - Ep. 27: Broken Bonds

"sarah who now?" always gets me hahahahaha

stasis on prophet cain is SO fucking sick, and saving > chrono shift > failing is so goddamn cinematic!!! huge fucking big brain plays from emily and fia!!!

Relistening to this episode gave me comfort during this time in history. Thank you.

This might be the best NADDPOD episode yet, truly incredible stuff. Twists, incredible tension and drama, I loved it.

this was a jaw dropping episode, yall constantly hit it so hard out of the park!!

“I will prey on every last thread of his fear and I will make him unravel like a scared little sweater.”

I'm eager to see how the Zirk/Stella relationship turns out in the end. I'm so thankful to Caldwell and Murph for depicting a toxic parent and a child trying to distance themself from that parent for the sake of their own sanity. I don't speak to my mom anymore, and my life (and mental health) is better for it. Thanks for these episodes ❤

Anyone have any idea how to spell Macsaura? (Maksura? Macsura??? Mocksora?????) Trying to update the wiki....

#KillZonk you coward!!

I am so delighted that Emily mentioned Tyler Thrasher!! Everything he makes is freaking gold (including his dnd content!)

very very good radio

That was an incredible EP! Absolute favourite of Eldermourne so far! Can’t wait to hear what happens next

Can we all just appreciate Caldwell's roleplaying? Those moments with his mom were amazing. Murph curated a perfect episode and the Third Mates maximized its potential. AMAZING Y'ALL!

My heart. My heaaaaaarrttt. This episode was so rude 😭😭😭😭😭 poor bookvar. I wonder what he is.

Am I the only one hearing these little beeps lol

OMG.... Wow...

I have been really enjoying Eldermourne but I think this sode is where it truly blossomed. I loved campaign 1 and I loved the difference of campaign 2. The slog up the mountain was great, pivoting during Caldwell's absence with the Hexbloods and Lou's awsome energy was a great and a novel way to flesh out the world. But this sode was the blossoming rose. Hard edged, almost viscous and great mobility from the DM in response to outrageous roleplay and technical work from the players. Outstanding work all round! I loved it and will listen again several times to suck all the joy I can till next week. Thank you Brian, Jake, Emily and Caldwell.

I am absolutely SCREAMING at this episode omg!!!!!

I hardcore expected jabari the safari to show up at the end to rescue everyone. one day we'll get Lou back

What an absolute SODE. Murph, you are an absolute wizard!

Murph!!! I cried!!!

Murph this episode was crushing. And perfect. That reveal … incredible. The moment with Bathilda… incredible. DADDY MURPH. You’re the man.

you know, in retrospect, it might be even worse for stella if she owns the IP for the necrophone, because that means it’s her ass on the line when this eventually all goes south

I would like to plug WitcherCon on July 9th! Toss a fuckin coin!

Jake you gotta get those dice in the moonlight dude

God what an amazing episode! So wonderful! Part of me feels that from the conversation at the end of the Ep, that maybe the Reaper isn’t actually involved! Maybe Moxora (sorry for the spelling) is pulling all the strings? Or that magic was originally controlled by The Reaper before The Trickster gave it to the world?

OH MY GOSH YOU GIVE HIM BACK RIGHT NOW, MURPH (Awesome episode but like, GAHHHH)

Incredible scheme Murph has all the villains part of. Each new revelation feels surprising and natural go deeper into the mystery

Maybe lost in the edit, but Stella was the first to mention “Quick Blast” by name, which felt like a potential gotcha moment because Fia only said “someone in your employ”

This is my favorite episode so far!! Zirk’s fight with his mom followed by Fia and Bathilda’s relationship was such a beautiful, heartbreaking contrast. So much crazy stuff happened! I’m dashing over to the short rest; super curious what new theories about the reaper the cast will have!

I like how this is the second time on the show when the party had a run-in with the (disguised for a time) main villain of the campaign when they were definitely Not ready for that confrontation. This ep had me on the edge of my seat!

my fave episode of the season so far ahhhhh!! Dice Christ really had a story to tell with Henry and Zirk this ep lmao. And Fia and Bathilda?! Sooo good. Thank yall for another amazing 'sode!

I cannot believe how merciful of a DM Murph is. I was actually shitting myself when Zirk rolled that 1. Incredible ep this week. I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here!

“I wanna see the world through eyes like yours” no one fucking talk to me

So… we’re getting spoopy merch soon right?

oh my god what a good ep!!! so many moments where I fully stopped whatever puttering I was doing to just stand with wide eyes completely gripped. this will definitely be one I relisten to

I’m literally crying. what an ep

Chills upon chills at this one. Bravo!

Jake needs to melt those dice or something. Goodness, all of those fours.

During the talk with Bathilda, I thought about the saying "If you take one life, it is as though you are killing all the world; if you save one life, it is as though you are saving all the world." And also the AtLA finale.

❤️❤️

I keep thinking - might be my fav Eldermourne ep yet! But y’all keep raising the bar!

Hella thicc 'sode. Cannot WAIT for the short rest

holy hell thicc sode

Murph is BRUTAL

Sweet Dice Christ everyone. This was such a good session! Murph, so many kudos on the twists and NPC’s personalities. Just *kisses finger tips and opens hand* beautiful.

That silence before the 1, thank you for leaving that in. But how awesome would it have been for Zirk to die and have his mom take his place in the party, with a newfound sense of justice?

Ohmygawd! Everything is awful! T__T What a great episode.

Jesus fucking thiCC ‘sode Murph you’re a genius, dice Christ is a spicy story teller

God Murph is sooo good at playing how manipulative Stella is, like I’ve got experience with extremely manipulative parental figures, and it is uncanny how well she’s played. Genuinely great job

No! Sleep! Til BOOKVAAAAAAR!

What a WILD 'sode, Jake rolled like 5 4's in a row

This was absolutely the best way to spend the last couple hours of my birthday...thanks for the amazing stories y'all

One take Jake!

No you're crying at your desk!

Good golly what a whomping! Can't wait for the short rest

I wanted to listen to relax!! My nails have been chewed off instead haha

fuck you had me tearing up this was a LOT.

This episode was absolutely brutal. Blow after blow wow... Chef's kiss

Thank you daddy Murphy 😘

Thanks MURPH

new ep already?? y'all so sweet to us!

Just in time for a long late night road trip!

NAD Murph, delivering the goods

Heck yeah

Wow the freaking timing. Unpacking at my new place and thought to myself "I wonder if the new ep is up" and low be hold (≧▽≦). Looking forward to the listen.

You rule, Murph!

The mad man actually released an episode on Thursday. How does a regular ass dude do that much editing and still sleep?
