C3 Ep. 27: King of Dragons (The Dragon Elf Chronicles)

Jake complaining in the Calder voice is so good

Listened to the whole naddpod collection 3x now and this is the most cinematic, coolest, fucken episode across the board, just amazing!

Veryhh v42,z🪔🎄

I don't drink or smoke and I need a drink and a smoke after this

This was fucking fantastic. What an incredible fight. How cinematic. The triple nat 1s, too .....the curse of Mishka Beverly PawPaw the second. And princess shiverblight now being badass on accident??? Oml. So funny. SO unfortunate

The fact that this ep starts with Princess fucking shiverblight and ends with one of the most cinematic fights in NADDPOD history never fails to give me whiplash

This is the best ep of the season so far

IS THIS YHE FIRST EP THAT MURPH PRONOUNCES "CACHE" CORRECTLY!?!??

Ok now I picked this back up hours later, I dont like listening to naddpod at work because I can't fully focus on it like I want to, but im on my lunch break and now im CRYING DURING THE FIGHT AND DJDIJEBEUDUHEHDUDBR8DWAUDVEVDUU THE DUALITY OF NADDPOD ARGH

Me fking squatting as while caldwell was like "coup me once, coup on you. Coup me twice..." and I broke my superset hahaha sometimes I think about not listening to naddpodd while I work out. Sometimes

I know this is a comedy show but I was yelling in my car. I really hope Murph sat there silently screaming while his three stooges absolutely wasted those sending scrolls on a dragon who proved how useless she was when they first met her. ☠️

God this episode is soooooo goooooood

One of the best episodes of all time. I kinda wonder why Cali doesn't give the boys bardic before the fight tho. She did use a lot of them for her which was very smart. All hail the Queen! The King is dead!

Not even a quarter into the episode, love the silly energy in this first bit - had to chime in to say that when Calder started scatting, I absolutely lost it!

What a stressful episode! Good Lord, this was a fantastic listen. I need to relisten to this while just relaxing in a recliner. I cried at the end!

If I was umberspore and I found out that my trusted allies chose shiverblight over me to fight alongside them in this insane battle, during which my brother died, well... they wouldn't be my trusted allies anymore. Wonder if that's gonna come up later!! 🫨

Best fight I've ever witnessed. This is my 4th time listening to it.

I was teary by the end of this. One of the best combats of all time

Cant believe they wasted so much scrolls on shiverblight and not one on umberspore

Anyone else wondering why they didn’t send a scroll to umberspore? 😅

Murph you are goddang champion. I got chills when the main theme started playing!

I can only hear "job's done" in the warcraft orc peon voice

I haven’t started the battle yet but I’ve gotta say, I’m more concerned about this one then I was about any of the final fights 😬

I listened to this on my Monday commute to work and I’m absolutely drained from it!!

My god, running to the short rest to unwind after this one lol

Just a great example to other tables of how to make combat narratively interesting

wow this might be the best battle i have ever experienced that was amazing

holy shit. this was so so good

Goosebumps 😁 see you in Brisbane! 🥳

that's gotta be one of the best dnd battles I've ever listened too. Great job

I was extremely stressed this whole episode jesus fucking christ. So good! I feel like I'm always saying that I was in tears listening to this podcast but it's always true. I'm a crier 🤷‍♀️

I thought Em auto failed a death save when she hit the muck and then she failed two saves after that didn't she?

That was a clutch fight! Love the aussie city pronunciation at the end aswell😂

I think I'm really upset that Umberspore didn't get to be part of this, especially when her brother died in this fight 😵 I mean it was exhilarating and exciting and so on the edge of your seat, and wow! Ahh, I just wish my queen coulda joined 😅

MY PALMS WERE SO SWEATY LISTENING TO THIS.

What an ep!!!!

That was the most satisfying episode since C1. It felt like the first time in a long time that the outcome was 100% in the players (and Dice Christ's) hands. Absolute magic, peak D&D.

Wow, best NADDPOD combat episode yet.

Detect thoughts to find Sol is one of those classic "Emily Axford knows how to PLAY this game!" moments!

One of the best ever NADDPOD episodes. Murph's DMing was outstanding, especially in the final moments of the battle. <3

One of my all time favorite episodes you guys have posted. Such an absolute treat

Incredible ep guys, shortened my life by about a year with how stressful it was 😂

This was such an excellent episode! I could see it all so clearly in my mind! Well done Murph for such a masterpiece! Loved this so much!!!

I love all of Big Bev's reactions to Shiverblight 🤣🤣

One of, if not the best episode of a dnd podcast I’ve ever heard. Been crying for like an hour. Maybe I’ll never stop, who knows?

What an absolute masterpiece of an episode. Making combat this truly epic in an audio, theatre of the mind setting is hard work and you did it so so well

Incredible episode! Why didn’t Shroomrot get death saves even though Big Bev did? Is that just Murph making the call there to delete Shroomrot but keep a bigger fan favorite (Big Bev) around, or would there be a more ‘technical’ explanation?

Oh. My. MELORA Y'ALL THIS WAS SO AMAZING. Literally had me screaming and hitting my steering wheel in the car. SO worth the wait ❤️❤️❤️

I'm here for the character growth of Shiverblight, as minimal as it may be. What an absolutely girthy gem of a 'sode! Thanks for your hard work, Murph!

Best episode ever

Shiverblight is Dtf. Down to fight

Best Battle EVER! That was just insane

Why didn't Shroomrot get death saves even though Big Bev did?

What would be the best way to get Emily's music?

Everytime Sol did anything, I just imagined Luffy from One Piece. Gear 4th for when he is flying.

This battle might have been the best ever. The benchmark has always been final battle with Thiala, but that was a whomping in comparison. The literal chills as Calliope fell a second time!! Just fucking awesome!!! See you in Boston!!!

The amount of goof with the sending scrolls is sending ME

Omg this episode is so GOOD! The amount of goof side by side with downright epic moments is unprecedented.

This is one of the best episodes ever. What a way to end the year. My heart really started racing near the end there. The 2 crew just keep getting better. Also thanks Murph. Definitely using those mechanics for the dragon riding.

Wow, that was amazing. One of the best episodes yet.

Just wanna say this episode was fantastic, everyone was on top of their game! Special shout-out to Murph, amazing encounter design. Fighting on top of adult dragons was so freaking cool!!! And also all the extra work with the edit, it really gave me something special to do while I wait for new year's. Thanks Murph! :D

This is NaddPod at its best!

Good god what a thick sode.

This episode should’ve been called “Six Feet Under”. So good!!!

What was the music that played while they were searching for Sol in the muck and he was having the dream? Starting around 14 minutes left in the ep.

This episode was so insanely good

Such a cool encounter. Murph always makes theater of the mind really exciting and engaging! Great work!

This Ep was INCREDIBLE!!!!

Why do I feel like Shiverblight is going to play a weird game of Fuck Marry Kill with the remaining high princes?

Big Bev went from not knowing what a car is to saying “it’s like when someone lifts a car to save someone’s life” after using his legendary action. :/ gonna have to quit listening after that fumble

i've starting my re-listen and the contrast between shroomrot being so happy to see big bev and the end of the ep is absolutely brutal lmao :') but on the flip side, the contrast between spending all 3 scrolls to pick up shiverblight followed by the realization that they couldve used two of the letters to contact other allies, and the end of the ep is absolutely WILD

Hey Caldwell, were the armbands that Sol made an inspiration from the Alabasta arc in One Piece? I know you been reading the series and that popped in my head during the ep. Anyways, amazing ep and Happy Hoglidays!

So freaking thicc

Was on the edge of my seat almost the entire episode. Thank you guys and happy new year

Speaking for the Adelewd audience this ep was amazing, I can't wait for the show, and what could be more fittingly lewd than a trinyvale live show for such a lewd city

Incredible ep. Lingering question: Why did big bev get death saves but shroomrot just died?

Well worth the wait

This was INCREDIBLE, I could not stop listening to this. Special shout out to the set up of the lair, it was so creepy and unique for a dragon! So so well done guys!!!

This was a stress-filled joy to listen to.

Thank you dungeon daddy for this new years gift

This was amazing combat. It’s episodes like this that make me want an animated series so badly

I foolishly listened to this late last night and fell asleep shortly after they sending'd shiverblight, only to then wake up like 2 hours later to her getting the final hit 😆😂 can't wait to relisten and see all that happened in the in-between 😂😂😂

This was such a nerve-wracking episode! Great job everyone. I wasn't sure you would all make it!

Oh my god! This is amazing!

Spent NYE here in Australia listening to Naddpod while watching the fireworks on tv, nothing better 😊

What a way to say goodbye 2022. It has been a shit year for me but that was an awesome episode. Thanks for all the joy you guys have brought me this year. It has been a real help. ♥️

What an incredisode 👏🙇🐉

Absolute homerun, guys! Everything you love about naddpod was on full display here today. Great goofs and gaffs plus jokes that had me cackling and rewinding to cackle some more, poignant emotional and story beats, and a phenomenal battle! Couldn't have possibly asked for more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

How was this even possible?

What. A. Thicc. Sode.

I can see how rough it'd be to have to re-do sound effects for this episode. Thanks for getting it done, Murph.

I was gunna Riot if Bev was the one who went down, RIP Shroomrot

Emily that was a perfect pronunciation of Melbourne. I am so unspeakably excited

I... I think I'm a Shiverblight stan now.

holy shit, so so good

This was an amazing fight!

That fight is quite possibly my favorite y’all have ever done, absolutely fantastic planning and teamwork, and incredible job overcoming the odds from the Duck Team, 10/10 episode

Dayum she thicky thicc

That was probably my favorite dnd combat I’ve ever listened to. So cool!

This episode... OMG I haven't felt like this since the assassination episode and the finale to C2. Bravo

This episode was soo good. My heart was racing. I was fist pumping. I imagine this is what it feels like to be a sports fan lol

MVS! MVS!

Rip shroomrot... This ep made me pray. This was good d&d

Incredible episode. You guys are amazing. Great job!

WORTH IT. IT WAS SO GOOD MAN. 100000/10 murph -1 for stressing me out so bad 😭💀

Holy shit…. That was better than anything Game Of Thrones did after like season 5…

ngl, Shiverblight is currently top tier c3 character in my book

Woof, WHAT. AN. EP! I had to unclench myself after that sesh. Love it, y'all. Early happy new year Boobs!

Huge props to Daddy Murphy for this episode!

That was such a clutch episode!
