Cody Night Angel is a descendant of Zudrick.
Professor Pratt
Please please! I need Skaldova on the next tour in Boston just so can call out “Welly?! “. I absolutely adore Zudrick and I spend my days saying “guys? C’mon. That’s just crass.” Murph does it again and I love the comment that suggests Zudrick is the Pentagreens origin story.

I haven't finished listening, but prediction: the princess IS the dragon...
Patrick Shannon
FYI, the short rest for this is missing from the collection
Olivia the Enchanting Bard and Jarod the soap opera cleric who will be auditioning for Callie's acting troupe
I used to go to Friendly's after every football game with my marching band! (I played the clarinet!) and I love mozzarella sticks, but burnt myself once carrying back an extra marinara sauce!
Rachel the Freckled ADHDer
Same. The reveal was so unexpected and so good!
AlbireoRising
I audibly gasped at exactly the same Emily did for that Reveal.
Axyl and Olympia
found a video of zudric when he finally has time to learn the guitar again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVcOIlITUR8
Miranda B, Crick DVM
YOU CANT. LEAVE US ON THAT!!!
Moses Ferney
The Skaldova music is awesome and really adds to the ambience to every scene. Truly awesome stuff!
Felix
they are certainly cut from the same cloth
Felix
Hope not lol
Felix
There are at least 2 different feeds on Spotify afaik
Felix
are you looking at the naddpod patreon feed instead of the usual Spotify one?
keysi ellle
Any reason why this is showing as locked on spotify? or just me?
Insufficiently Caffeinated
My personal theory is that the princess *is* the dragon.
Shane B
After starting my naddpod journey almost a full year ago today I've finally caught up on all campaigns and MOST of the other content. Really happy to watch the episodes as they come out. Cheers guys!
everett harbaugh
theory: i bet the bog is circled cuz the dragon took the princess there to hide out from the encroaching godswar, cuz it kinda seems like based off the map that the gods were coming for princess lunark (kinda feels bright sword-ish for the gods to be invaders that killed off the original inhabitants)
Michael Lawton
Second time through and the ending is still amazeballs!!
C●SMIC☆MANG●
2 minutes in and ive already lost it at Zudrick's 'Maybe this boar is KIND!!'
Josh Clark
I love that Boggy just keeps saying “Longest Tom was hung” instead of “hanged” with all of the innuendo banter
rice crispy
loved it! thanks u guys
Robert
Yup.. when jake was explaining stuff in it was in the background i was totally picturing the opening of twin peaks.. i want more of that music in this :)
Robert
"Nicely Clenched" Made me laugh WAY too hard for some reason.. And the music at 44:20 (i think) was soo perfect... And SOOO Twin peaks... more of that please :) well done
Rick
Anyone else thinking this is a world that is potentially gonna be connected to Bahumia? With all the talk of space and Purple snakes… it just got me thinking
lily h
this seasons score reminds me so much of the twin peaks score
Li I
Zudrick is a guy who’s already went through like 5 mental breakdowns having a mental breakdown
Tabitha Davidson
also can i say my name is tabitha and zud jump scares me every time.
Tabitha Davidson
Zudrick being made fun of so badly and then missing the boar and pretending it didn’t happen made me laugh so hard.
Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord
Giving me so much joy, since Murph is not DMing, that they are still trolling Murph via his beloved, cranky PC, with their kindly, supportive PCs.
Jillian M
I clocked that too 🤣🤣
Jillian M
Also is anyone else clocking Zudrick’s slow decent into Pendergreens?
Jillian M
The gasp I gusp at that last line. Loving Skaldova so much! Jake is knocking it out of the park
xatlern
What a cliffhanger! I loved Emily's genuine gasp at that reveal, I was right there with her.
Mr. Dude Sky
Skaldova is awesome. Jake is killing it. The tactical genius of Welly is something you are going to have to watch out for.
Nicole Jordan
Is there a Murph character that hasn’t threatened to freak out at this point? I love it
Grass
Sabrina is my favorite bird
Axel Ottel
Caldwell really has two kinds of characters. Silly little guys and two silly little guys in a trench coat, disguised as a serious and tragic figure.
Susannah B.
I'd like to thank Emily for the word "paroxysm"
Bryce Peterson
Great episode. I’m impressed Jake didn’t let the wheels fall off the campaign Volkswagen after the BBGE (Rump Lord) was killed last episode.
Josh Marshall
Jake I audibly gasped in joy when I got the alert the new ep dropped last night. Skaldova is so great, excited to jump into another ep!
Ryder1o9
You 4 as Dms embody all my favorite things of D&D! I usually have a preferred DM in podcasts that trade off but I just cant choose a favorite story so far. Good job on this campaign so far Jake you're just fantastic at descriptions!
Hostage4hire
really love that murph avoids saying “tweet about the show” now given the oligarch running it
Amanda Dick
See you in Seattle y’all!
Victoria Fair
Zudrick was giving real Vegeta vibes this episode lol
Kyle Veach
I thought his name was Jork or something dumb?
Kyle Veach
Agreed! And what fun mechanics he's coming up with too, the "death saves" on the cage doors was very clever
Kyle Veach
God damn, this campaign is SO good! I wish it was full length so badly
Kyle
Theory: Zuddy is cursed and they are a kenku atm
Xymel
Ah come on. Caldwell points out Murphe's perfect dad joke and there's no acknowledgement? We can BOAR-d it up? Love it.
Jordan Bergner
You can hear pendergreens start to come out when zuddi gets mad at the razzing
Tony Cappellino
Jokes about his passing/dick aside, “Longest Tom” is such a perfectly silly, yet believable-in-this-world adventuring buddy name
Jamie Matthews
Boggy Roger, my relatable king. I, too, would be hyper fixated on securing food after like 4 hours of adventuring without a snack.
Winterbat
Zuddrick vs the Bookcase. Legendary match up
Akenaz
I'm truly loving skaldova so much. Jake's descriptions are so evocative, and all the characters are so much fun. im listening to every episode like 5 times as i excitedly await each new installmemt
Beth Fraser
Can’t get enough of Jake’s descriptions. From the get go they’ve been awesome but particularly since they reached the perimeter of the castle - you can see it so clearly in your mind’s eye, even feel and taste the changes in the air. So great. Skaldova is brilliant. 👏👏👏
Zachary Mueller
Anyone else immediately think of Princess Mononoke when Jake was describing the boar?
Bills Mcblow
That Laura Palmer ass song is back 🥹
Tim Sauerland
I love that Zudrick devolves into Pendergreens when he gets upset 🤣🤣
Hugo Wull
I’m so glad “polycrow” didn’t go entirely under the radar. CawCawldwell always thinking up silly bird things!
Melissa Shilale
‘the smell of autumn or something older’ JAKE!
Faerunner
Jake your descriptions are gorgeous!
Faerunner
I feel like jake was so nervous to DM but he is killing it and quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite actual play DMs.
Moses Ferney
That ending was awesome! This campaign looking to be a certified banger.
Rachael
I grew up in a part of England that is all farmland now but was once marshland and was drained over the course of a couple of hundred years to farm the peat soil, often with violent pushback from the locals, so I'm really enjoying Boggy's characterisation and the research Caldwell has done!
Declan Konesky
Zuddy might be my favorite character now
Blaize Gordon
Im in the middle of traveling and getting screwed over by airlines and I really needed this episode to help me through thank you naddpod
Jack
Scaldovas not going to be Bahamian millions of years in the future is it? That would be fucking amazing
Vee
Joseph did an amazing job
Aaron Sterne
Halfway through the episode but this zudrick crash out is great
Nodrog the Pass-A-Fist barbarian
Happy birthday 😊
Ezzy

Ron A.
Jake is killing it!
Chris Swank

Jason Emmanuel
LETS FUCKING GOOOO! Loving this campaign and Jake is a natural GM!
Drayser
Let's go!
Michael Lawton
I just caught that: Welly’s dirty 20 is an “indecent 20”.
austinoxner
So pumped. Jake, we all want you to know that this season fucking rules.
Lee
