I was not emotionally prepared to hear the Crick music!!!
THE CRICK! It feels like coming home
This is my second time listening to this and I JUST realized that Solder would make a perfect couple name for Sol and Calder
Shout out to Caldwell, that muscle milk joke was hilarious and under the radar
*spoiler* I almost cried when they mentioned Cooter was his dad
Dammit I saw this too early
Oh my GODDD the rolls at the end were so tense!!! holy shit lol
The description and the music at the end was so magical, this whole episode was chefs kiss
The missed opportunity to do a callback to the mana wyrms when Callie first rides the serpent.
Absolutely loved everything in the Crick - it just feels like home. But… *spoiler* oh my GOD that part with Calder’s dream was holding-my-breath-without-realizing-it SCARY. 🫣
HOLY FUCK
jake stop
jake what the fuck
Listening to the stuff at the crick felt like a warm hug from an old friend that was with you during some dark days and wow did I need it
Aaaahh, going to the Crick feels like going home ❤ so much warmth
AH IVE FINALLY CAUGHT UP. ya know, they don’t make helmets for frogs… but they do make crocheted bucket hats or something
I enjoyed it but I get the feeling that these episodes are getting shorter by the months
But this is ridiculous
As a knitter, the idea of falling asleep knitting stressed me out way too much. It would be waaaay too easy to drop stitches. Well-done with the horror story, Caldwell.
Omg that reveal at 57 minutes… gasped at work so loud my coworker had to make sure I was good lol
big spoiler it makes total sense that Glen would split from the Crick, he literally walks around like he knows who his daddy is!!!
"I rub honey on my tits" Dats a bit o MoonShine in dere
Surprised nobody suggested trying to get audience with the High King about the whole conspiracy against him and maybe smooth things over with him to prevent war with the Crick. Maybe Queen Umberspore and the others can let him know if they're still going to try and get Shroomrot released.
FINALLYYYY
Hey, anyone know what Sanderson module they received? Been a Cosmere fan for a few years now and would love to explore that in DnD!!!
Me too! I’d love to check it out
Calder should be possessed. When Murph gave him the helm he said DC 8 plus the number of charges and he had 10 charges DC should have been 18 and he only hit a 17. Calder should be possessed.
Yeah, but Murph said the DC was 17 so the DC is 17 and Jake hit the DC. So even if Murph misremembered it in that instance, it doesn't matter because he is the DM and put it the DC to a 17. That shit happens all the time to me in my home games and I thought it worked out for a very satisfying narrative in this episode so I personally don't see a problem.
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
Also I love Jake going from a character who never bends the knee to a character who can't stop bending the knee. That's growth right there
Short rest when?
This is like the best episode of the podcast yet
1. Love being back at the crick 2. Calder whispering “crush me” absolutely destroyed me at my desk today
This is beyond theater of the mind…the description of the grandma tree is burned in my brain…I know we won’t see moonshine but I like to think she’s watching from a distance.
oh my god. i feel absolutely nuts. the unique euphoria of hearing your chosen name used on your favorite show. incredible, i'm gonna be smiling all day, i've got a dang spring in my step
Extremely large handshake emoji
Loved all the callbacks to C1 - Callie collecting nannerflies in a jar, Calder pledging himself to MawMaw....I was smiling so much!
I've made a deal with myself that I absolutely HAVE to finish the uni work I'm avoiding in order to listen to this ep!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT
AH THE CRICK, MY HEART IS FULL
I’m driving cross-country next week, so I SHOULD start saving up my podcasts for the drive, but, also, I don’t want to wait to listen. 😫🫣
Can't wait for Glen to one day be revealed as the child of Cooter lol Hah, I knew it!
[spoiler] Should Calder have failed the Ultriss Con-Save? He had a total of 10 charges so the DC should’ve been 8+10. [spoiler] With his shout out to the 2 crew roll +7 —> 9 +2 on the bless —> 11 + 6 on the bardic —> 17 which should’ve been one lower than the DC 18. Or is my math wrong? Just curious if I’m misremembering the stats.
dc is 17, not 18!
I gotta say the gradual escalation of Ultros' and Calder's relationship is so organic and satisfying. It's not like Murph is just forcing that storyline along, Jake is legitimately getting increasingly tempted by the helm's power as the stakes get higher
Jake’s rolling nearly gave me a heart attack.
Just like the smile that crept on my face just at the word Jolene, who says you can’t go back home
Caldwell’s shenanigans always accomplish the most during the intro rhymes
Getting to visit the crick twice in two days, what a treat. Thanks for coming to Denver ya'll!
