Ep. 97: Titans of the Realm (The Chosen Saga)

Nova

Brian you evil genuis

I'm about to wrap my 5th listen through of this series and this episode still breaks me every time

Glenn Dhooge

Everyone had great arcs during the campaign. But Moonshine went that extra mile in my opinion. For me she is the real Alpha of the Band of Boobs.

Jack Hubert, King of the Mole People under Iron Deep, dressed in blue and fighting his way through a bracket style tournament

“Hardone breaks the seal on the water skin” is one of my new favorite moments in the show lol

I just got caught up to this episode; I'm 10 months late and just had to make sure SOMEONE else noticed this one!

keysi ellle

Nick Wesell

Thick sode!

Murph giving PawPaw the spores so she can use counterspell was *chef's kiss*

1man2hands

Very surprised nobody giggled at "afflicted with duty"

1man2hands

A big shill on your turtus

Mad props to everyone

I love this so hard god Damn it’s good storytelling

Jaimie Brougham

justice for Wintersault!

GREYFOX!!!!!

I just want Jake to know I laughed really hard at "that's a wintersault".

D'ran Dana

💙 ugh

D'ran Dana

OMG Murph I'm gonna kill you wtf

Andrew Davis

I finally got caught up after being behind for a bit and what a sode to get caught up on. 96 was great with Cordon Bleu and the Glittering Lady but the pestilence reveal was next level. I audibly yelled when Erdan was talking through the process with Bev. Major probs to Murph for building everything and to all the players for fully immerssing in the world.

This was such a thick sode

Jacob Jaffe

Such an intense party split. Didn't expect to see that ever again.

Thomas Ricketts

I was right holy shit

Not Another D&D Podcast

I got an elven shield from Lucanus which gives me +3 on Dex Saves and zero damage when it would normally be halved. Luckily I think Balnor has my old shield now so it should help him out! ~ Caldwell

Thomas Ricketts

When you check the music for the session and you see the purge. Oh god oh fuck

The music when Malora bestows the Boob Boons™ is amazing. I've relistened to that part of the episode 3 times just to hear it again. Any chance that comes out individually eventually so I can shamelessly steal it for my own campaign?

Good Sir James

Has anyone else wondered whatever happened to Bev's Shield of Arrow Catching? Am I forgetting something where he lost it or gave it away? Because that thing certainly would have come in handy.

Just the idea that Hardwon put his walls down then gets attack by his best friend, his sister, and his queen.

Liz Ruifrok

I wonder if Mavrus just woke up, went "Huh. Guess I hate them now" and went back to sleep in his lavish room.

Em

THIS EPISODE. When PeePaw Luke asked Moonshine to learn the spell with him alone my gut was saying something is wrong. It was so tense! Insanely good. ♥️

Kestrel

Elder Boar!

Kestrel

Bev Revivified them!

Futureidk 1

Couldn’t have said it better. Absolutely fantastic episode!

Brenda Gibbner

That episode. Now that is a d&d game, was funny and sad all at once. The counter spell Emily did was so good and that cliffhanger. Ugh can't wait for the next episode. Also turdis lol

Cavan McGinsie

When they renamed Cordon to Budler Bleu it kept getting me because the mascot at my alma mater, Butler University, is named Butler Blue and it's a little English Bulldog.

Stephen Lander

I knew shit was about to go down when Murph started splitting them up. Great episode you evil genius

Zachary Finch

didn’t all the dwarf crew members die????

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Ain't nothing like Sticky Buns & Hash Brown Stuff! Heroes are made in the kitchen!

Graeme Carey

Emily is a god at DnD lol, love that counterspell insurance setup

Penny Garbo

Oh. My. God. I never saw that coming, freaking great sode!!!!!

Tim Sauerland

Man, I knew something was fishy when I realized Lucanis was sleeping...

Nicholas Neal

All of you guys are amazing but damn Murph you really know how to tell a good story. Thank you guys so much for all of this.

Garga Lenoir

When I prepare my scenarios I think I become quite the bastard (I compare myself often to a Bad Place Architect), but dang I have nothing on you Murph! That was wicked and beautiful! GMs have been threatened of getting beat up in Denny's parking lots for less.

meaghan sheridan

God you guys are SO GOOD

Dalton Davidson

It sounded like the dragon was just bones at this point though...

Ben Steen

It's about time murph got to do some womping of his own, the boobs were getting too comfy and he knew it haha

Good Guy Josh

It’s insane to think there is a world out there where the boobs were forced to kill there friends, or die.

Ben Steen

This had me for like a second, and then I laughed my ass off haha Does anybody else just want an audio mashup of all the different times they've gone off on the jake/jill marriage problems and divorce rants? They're too funny!

Marisa

10/10 intro

Kestrel

This episode was just me going “oh Murph’s a genius” “oh Emily’s a genius” back and forth to myself for two hours. Thanks it was incredibly stressful and I’m scared

I'm equally angry, impressed, and just everything at Murph. Like that was foul, but so freaking epic!

All Pulp! No Juice!

Such a great sode! Truthfully since they defeated the tarrasque I’ve felt there are very few stakes - that no matter what the Boobs will survive. But, now I feel tense and that the Boobs will have to earn this upcoming victory.

I cannot properly express all the things this episode made me feel. Which is particularly bad since I'm sure my coworkers think I'm nuts now because of all the facial expressions I made.

Oscar de la Garza

Eat your fucking dice Murphy

ananarama

Shoutout to the Maryland accent 😂

Emma Margaret

Oh my god this episode killed me. I cried and laughed at the same time at some points, goddammit.

Ash Hammack

At "drahgons, turdises, and robits" I accidentally shot tea out my nose.

I wish we meet Cordone earlier. I just love this fancy scaly boy so much.

Katy Tacik

Fuck you, Murph, eat a rat.

Brother Alder

Selfless attack ❤️❤️❤️

Good Sir James

The Turdis sounds like the place Doctor Who goes to take a dump

Good Guy Josh

I love you eat a rat 🐀

Ryley D

OMG anyone else have the same exact reaction as Caldwell? Also the almost tremor in Emily's voice as Moonshine is talking to P'Pa Luke and MeaMa as she prepares for Murph to just stab her in the gut then still frame the scene....👏 bravo Murph, SUPER HYPED for the short rest aswell.

Amy Birch

Caldwell saying "I know I haven't said this in a long time, but FUCK YOU" Christ, Murph! You're killing us! Such a dope episode 😬

Turner Tush

Moonshine: *prepares to counter spell herself* Me: *vigorously takes notes*

JayForce

Really liked the scene of Moonshine telling the Glittering Lady that she had impressed upon Melora by saying that some of the attributes she looks up to are things that are distinctly exemplified by Tulane. Awesome moment. Bevs montage was amazing. You keep outdoing yourself with the story, Murph. Bev is going to have a tough time coping with everything after what happened though. Wonder how that all plays out. Also the last horseman. I can only imagine, going to be insanely epic.

Her Majesty, Claudette

oh god, please let Urdan and dragon boy saveable.

Jamie Advincula

so that happened and then THAT HAPPENED IM SCREAMING

Wow, too real haha

"How to make a titan feel like a weenie" should be the name of the episode. Love Murph raising the bar for the buffed boobs but DAMN! nearly took the boyz out in 2 rounds and moonshine burnt all her spells right after they got their upgrades. Fucking intense. Loved the ep crew. Keep it up

Sawyer Rogers

What are mawmaw’s stats?

Yet another perfect story from Murph😎 Nearly cried when the reveal of the boobs new abilities were😆👍

Luna reminds me of Murph in his college humor videos with Jake

Nicholas Bassett

5pm in Eastern Australia. It's podcastin' time!

The Green Magus

Also, played my first game of D&D the other night! Thank you, Boobs, for this new adventure.

The Green Magus

I woke up and saw this dropped and now I can't go back to bed

Emmie

You love to see it

You spoil us, Brian Murphy

Mick C

Murph works himself to the bone for us, but I think we need to talk the real thing he's working to escape from. Marriage problems. More specifically, Jake's marriage problems. I know that it's not my place to address Jill's whereabouts or Jake's brutal criticisms of Murph's abilities as a dm, a man, and a husband. All I can say is that I've been practicing my hardwon voice in case Jake wants to take a quick breather to figure himself out

You didn't have too.

Murph is the #1 best of all time!!!

Thank you papa Murph

Murph my guy!

Minnie Bunch

oh my gosh murph please go to bed

Sean Noronha

Yaaaaaay!
