Oh my god, Callie is so broken, I love it!

One of the most entertaining and spectacular encounters you've ever put on. An absolute banger start to finish
Sean Boyle
Damnit Murph, you have a cool Stag themed Knight and you name him fucking Robert? I know I know the name was decided in Campaign 1 and was Bobby at the time but still... Just choose another animal. Wolf, Elk, Bison. You can't have a Stag guy named Robert and not expect everyone to just imagine Robert Beratheon.

Literal goosebumps my boy balnor you have made my day
NoShitSherlock
As my eyes begin to water on my commute to class, I share Emily's opinion of "fuck you" Murph.

Not me starting this episode when my phone's 69% battery 🤙
Max Herzog
Get it guys?? The Weather Man "throws caution to the the wind" Ha Ha Ha
Jack el destripador
Literally said out loud “Robert the Young Stag? Cmon murph” then heard that “uAH” and screamed “YEEEESSS” in my car
KSM101
I've been listening to everything since Nov of last year and im slowly but surely catching up and I'm generally afraid as I don't know what I'll do at work without naddpod but dice christ himself couldn't come up with better endings then these last few episodes Murph I applaud you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Whimsii
That ending had me in tears as I realized what was happening! It didn’t dawn on me until that moment. Bravo, Murph, for absolutely jaw-dropping levels of storytelling, and bravo to the rest of Duck Team for one epic battle!
Christian Cole
BALNOR YESSSSS
Felix
damn finally caught up to the main feed, and with one of the coolest battles ever too
Felix
sol would be so unkillable with rage, idk what level he'd need in barbarian
William Bowen
Massive shootout to Murph, who ends his campaigns with high level characters flying on dragons, because almost nothing else is cooler.
Julia Arbanas
I’m not sure which level Callie’s bard/paladin split is, so it might be that at the level of paladin she is she can only use 4th, but still has those slots? Idk
Micah Edmonds
The chills I got as soon as you said “Halfling with an antler helm called Young Stag” were full body, Murph. I KNEW IT. I knew the timelines lined up and have been waiting for this since before the campaign started. As the topper to an already unsettlingly excellent episode, this was so freaking great all round. The imagery was astonishing.
Alex Kelly
NEAR TEARS. NOT EXECTING THAT. SAT HERE, MOUTH AGAPE. AHHHH
SnugglesaurusRexx
After listening to a bunch of campaign 1 I cried at this ending
Evan Bartlett
Honestly I'd love to see Calder have Sol take a level in Barbarian just to reflect his bloodrage from this battle, like how his experience with the spore network inspired his subclass
Alex Herndon
Is this what metagaming is?
Akisho
This was an absolutely amazing battle! So epic!!
Helene A
SAME!!!! i got chills AND started crying
Olivia
ok thank god someone else made that connection!! I thought I was the only one lol
Navar Keelan
Awesome battle! But what happened to Likerish's time/atrophy breath
frogwithhumanhands
Emily and Caldwell simultaneously screaming "what" when told that they had been gone for three days just tickled me
JB
Balnor’s Boy being Robert Baratheon is incredible
Ellie P
I thought paladins could do up to a 5th level smite?
Jordan Holl
The weatherman does WHAT, Jake?
Luke McCauley
Welcome back Deer old dad 😭😭😭
Dylan Irish
This ep was already a 10/10 and then murph exploded my heart at the end in the best way🩵
JR Lonergan
Balnor!
Witpending
"it's gonna hurt for a lifetime" 🤣🤣🤣
Jordan Jones
Murph, my absolute dude. What a display of DM awesomeness both in prep and execution. Hats off to you, sir.
Nicholas Ventura
Seriously!
Nicholas Ventura
Ughgh almost cried Balnor we missed you!
Jordan Bergner
Glad we got to see our dad finally
Paden Sheumaker
Balnor was definitely tailgating that battle
Paden Sheumaker
As soon as Murph spent time away from his meticulous battle mechanics to introduce the Young Stag I was thinking it was gonna be young Balnor or something lol. It being Bobby is so cute I love this show!
August
look i get why but it's criminal how fast we're all glossing over the dentist
Kori
Not me listening to the pod while putting my makeup on and then crying it all off as the episode ends 😭 best cry ever tho
Argonautica
Cool to hear a (lil) bit of kingdoms and warfare here from MCDM. Everytime monsters are introduced I keep waiting for them to be Flee Mortals monsters from the same company. They did the best 5e design out there imo.
Tony Cappellino
Murph really said “Hehe funny number 69, I’m gonna make it into an absolute masterclass in combat encounter building”
Ellie P
I want those worm stats!!!
Jette Nielsen
I'm not crying.. you're crying!
Natural Dragon
I love that Murph the God DM of Bahumia had to use the NADPOD wiki!! I imagine Murph in the Charlie Day meme connecting things with string to confirm things made sense. Such a solid DM!
Robert
HOLY SHIT THAT ENDING!!!!!
Jasmine Gill
Thank you!
Bailey Stoddard
A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark - great book!
Teo Tamashiro-Harris
I got actual literal chills when Bobby's moustache was described and I knew who it was right away
Cyborg Version of Josh the Kobold
I accidentally got spoiled and not only did it hit me right in the feels anyway, I'm still feeling the impact. Impeccable Murph, I would have loved this even if it weren't buttoned up.
Jasmine Gill
What's the book Emily plugged at the end?
happylinlin00
wow i cried at the reveal, got my shit together, relistened knowing full well what happens and it still got me the second time again truly absolutely beautiful, balnor you beloved old bag man ;;vvvvv;;💕💕💕 also SICK battle, everyone intimidating the enemy with snake deityhood was fucking awesome and the wyverns showing up late is honestly hilarious XDD

Eva Vasileiadou
I thought the young stag would be Durlin XIII
GratefulDad
SO BUTTONED UP!
Ben Beckwith
Kudos to that amazing Ballance. Complex mechanics, huge beasts, weird lucky and unlucky rolls and it still came down to the wire. Amazing ballancing Murph you friking tightrope walker
Proopypants
billy bass is brat
Shawn Harrison
The "Hell yeah" at 1:10:45? Sounds eerily similar.
Taylor Schult
Idk why I heard "The meatier witch" once and it made me giggle
Devin Tyler
1hr 10min mark, was that Beardsly?
Martian
You know what I'd like to see? This gang creating characters for a Warhammer game and just see what kinds of goofyness they can bring to it
Glenn Dowdle
Excellent Sode! Those mechanics worked out great.
Jack
I listened to Murphs "what the fuck" after Jake's intro so many times
DarthTurkey28
That dentist death scene was so beautiful. Absolutely loved the reveal! Deer old dad!!
Ziel R.

Melissa Shilale
Shout the fuck out to Emily’s music, these beloved and familiar cues never fail to make me emotion.
Shel B Kennas now 1st fav sprite girl. Triss hard seltzer, more like PISS hard seltzer. Congrats Tanner Wolffe Fam

Allie
Losing my shit at work
Neil Dutton
I had JUST listened to the pre c3 Hearthside where Murph is insisting that Cobb/Cobb ancestors won't be making guest appearances (this is not a complaint).
thanksnatalya

Andy Johnson
Dentist should’ve been cupped up, tbh.

Adam Kepper
I completely forgot about Balnor 😂(please don't hurt me), I thought it would be in relation to Cran and Durlin.
Rickey Clayborn
Am the only one who thought the young stag was gonna be like “Hi Mom, Dads,”
Shelby

Frogndog
Cupped up in holy preparation for episode sixxxty niiiine!!
Kyle
Hey, not sure if anyone from NADDPOD will read this, but I just want to say thank you. I think it’s gonna be a somewhat mental and emotional burden to know you are generating content so many people have come to rely and depend on. Literally in my office head down on the desk for five minutes then I realize it’s Friday which means new episode and my day got better. Thank you.
Mr. Dude Sky
One of the best sodes. A true rollercoaster of emotions. Starting with a WHO cover into an amazing combat and dropping with a true tragedy only to be lifted again by our Bag-Dad.
Derrick Collins
Another great one. The dentist!!!
