Ep. 85: Rogue Gods (The Hellfire Chronicles)

wilhelm paul martinez

I'm freaking the fuck out Siobhan and Zack in one episode

Kellyd

Not that anyone will see this 4 years later but caldwell's mothra/godzilla reference got no love in the room and I'm here to correct that

Lmao

k.allen

Made it back around to this episode again and the intro still sends me into so many emotions lol if only you knew boobs if only you knew

Austin Sharp

2023 and the year of the crit still hurts

Chris

Love sparila being pregnant because we know that tiny babe

Jenna

on a Dex save or check! It always bugs me when I re-listen lol

Hardwon had rolled a natural 20 in a previous episode. I think 2 episodes before this.

Annie

The year of the crit - but we forgot that hardwon was still cursed!

Thimo Trommer

the ones who got crit was us! T.T

Bandanno

Yeah just giving this a relisten the "year of the crit." is pretty sad/funny in hindsight.

nonya bizness

Hindsight makes that "2020 best year of our lives" comment preeeetty funny 😂

Jenna

this is exactly what I’m doing hahaha, wondering the exact same thing!

Lisquander

Us* :(

Lisquander

'2020 Year of the Crit" but the monkeys paw here is that it's a Crit against

Frozen hearts

Noah Strang-Ruchty

I WASN'T READY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 EVERYONE IS BACK

Noah Strang-Ruchty

I was F*CKING NOT expecting Zach back 😭😭😭

Jannell

How dare that Tarrasque lay an undead tooth on Bev!! Oh man.

I'm re-listening to all the episodes. Just got to episode 82 and Jake rolls a nat 20 on a Con save. Surely that roll should of been a 1 and not the Bev saving nat 20??? Or am I just really hoping Bev isn't dead lol

Matthew Tyler Helm

Brian you're grounded, go to your room

Pensulliwen

I screamed when Zac showed up, then again for Siobhan. Then Murph took away all of my happiness forever. This one had a lot of ups and downs, is what I'm saying.

Jenny T

MURPH YOU MONSTER

The Plum

I like how Apple says she lifts Beverly up to give the help action rather than how Moonshine just says "help action". It makes the story a lot more emersive

Debra Wasson

Duuuuuuude what a twist what a surprise in the middle wowzers wow :D

Johan Gidlöf

The ending of this episode had me screaming no outloud! Jesus such a tight episode

Austin Trammell

It may have just been my podcast player but my episode was missing the last half hour? It just cut off in the middle of the fight

Daniel Soto

Will Ryan the Ram come in to save them all???

Jonathan A Backhus

i need the short rest... we got to discuss this cliff hanger

D'ran Dana

Oh gawd a terrasque. Wtf Murphy Jesus. Caldwell pls just get some loaded dice for next session thanks. Bev has to survive or this is going to be painful 😣

Christopher Barth

The minute I heard the Tarrasque my jaw dropped, that monster is truly a party killer. Daddy Murph you picked the best the Monster Manuel has to offer. I look forward to the rest of the fight, god speed Band of Boobs! Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat!

Peter Mundell

Hey quick question Brian what the fuck

NO OUR SWEET BABY BOY!

Why in the actual fuck did you have to do this to me

How could you do this to us? I was so excited for Mavris and Apple and then you go and do this. Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat.

I’m so happy about this entire episode. Pure gamer goodness!

Maxwell Cornwell

Truly truly a thicc sode. Love that there’s some stakes.

this was brilliant but i cordially invite murph to eat my entire ass

Hey Brian? What the fuck?

Good Guy Josh

He’s actually going to be reincarnated as the Terasque

Sand Panda

Egg plant emoji to this episode.

Garga Lenoir

Rule lawyer time : - Since Cooter didn't play the first round, didn't he have an action ready to heal anyone who fell down? - Could the pirates be used to give help actions to people who can actually hope to hit the Tarrasque, by distracting it at key moments?

Garga Lenoir

He's still mad about the #StrongCaldwell incident

Garga Lenoir

Hardwon : I GOT A ONE! Tonathan TInkle : Make that an 18.

if young bev dies, we riot at dawn

Thomas Friedlander

If Bev dies I'm hoping he finds himself in the afterlife to a familiar "hey Slim"

*this is ridiculous*

Kestrel

He made a bunch of attacks! Even crit oncr

Kestrel

So sorry to ruin it for you, but draconic bloodline sorcerers do not have Revivify

Ricarda Wullenkord

I am trying to calm down by convincing myself that Zack has revivify stocked.

Patrick C McAuliffe

I've heard of cliffhangers, but this is ridiculous.

Murph, you deserve to reread all the Sonic Adventure Handbooks by yourself after this

Little one

#wherewasbalnor Was Balnor fighting? Or because the rounds were so long did I just miss it?

Good Guy Josh

The war council aspect of this episode was so interesting to me because realistically the band of boobs should have separated because Bev is immune to poison and disease he should’ve went to irondeep. Because moonshine can you do acid damage consistently she should be at frostwind. And hard one can’t be counter spelled so it makes sense for him to go to fight the works in hell home. Listening I thought you guys were going to iron deep, but frostwind was super cool too You guys probably already recorded but moonshine focus on acid damage

Good Guy Josh

This was epic but I should not have gotten drunk while listening I got way to into it. I was so worried about all the characters that would die of the band of boobs didn’t save the day. And now I’m so worried for Beverly. And Cooter. Was anybody else super hyped when moonshine said that she was doing acid damage with her spores

I goddamn hatelove this podcast.

Connor Proudfoot

Murph.... you son of a bitch.

Yura

That cursed nat20... the dice is sentient i'm afraid BUT MURPH, #STRONGCALDWELLTHEORY

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Epic!

RJ Schoeneck

Ok Brian I am literally pissed! How dare you! I'm so damn stressed! Aaahhhhhh!

OMGGGGG YOU GUYS GOT MAVRIS AAAAAAA

Wtf murph.

Diana

WOW MURPH

Gloria Han

Murph, you beautiful monster

Fighting Favorites - The Favorite Things Podcast!

Murph hates Caldwell theory confirmed

Penny Garbo

I never, in my wildest dreams, would have thought a comedy D&D podcast would have me so emotionally invested in its characters!! It has been a wild ride and I truly cannot wait for what is coming next.

Cakesan

Question for fellow naddpoles- If Bev dies next ep, do we think Murph will let him be reincarnated? In Hardwons case Melora said she could do it because his vampiric death was “unnatural” ... IM SO STRESSED I DONT WANT TO LOSE OUR BABY BOY

Israel Solis

Anyone else kept hearing the avengers music when they were on the wall getting ready?

Liz Ruifrok

That's what I'm hoping for! Like his owl comes with Spare The Dying like it did against the Watcher!

INFINITE

Tonathan Tinkle will come rescue Bev

Elysium Ervin

That was my mood until everything went wrong

Jeff Davis

I hate my Murphday.

Love the surprise guest stars and love/hate the ending (Murph you madman)

Now we have to wait a week before we know what happens *cries*

What an emotional roller coaster. I just can't... How dare you guys make me feel so many feels...

Liz Ruifrok

YOU MONSTER MURPH

Justin Harris

They need to be more strategic. They've got so much to work with.

Jacob Bowen

Truly an epic episode. Fuck, I'm so upset tho.

The Master

It’s our murphday Now, eat your murphday cake

Brian, you ruined my Thursday.

Camara Fairweather

Such an amazing episode! Forgot about the curse and the Nat 1 - such a poetic way for it to come back, can’t wait for the next one!!

Nikki Lynn

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MURPH!

Ricarda Wullenkord

Murph WTF are you doing man, that is gonna give me serious anxiety issues till next week!

BRIAN WHY

Crits

BRIAN

All Pulp! No Juice!

The 20 seconds where they say the phrase “eat my ass!” like 10 times is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

GREYFOX!!!!!

This is some avengers level shit!

Sara Murphy

Such a great thicc ‘sode!!!

Amy Driver

YO MURPH! WTF MAN!

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Just watch Bev come back as a goliath, taller and beefier than Hardwon.

Sam Johnston

Anthony Cinca

JayForce

Jomalar

Has the BoB completely forgotten about their Shadowfell and Feywild allies?

Michael McDougall

Miriam Yifrach

MURPH WHY but also thank you for everything. I’m gonna cry

David Swann

Oooooh what a lovely surprise!

Taylor Nagy

Omg I’m dying most brutal cliffhanger ever 😭 love you guys happy new year!

Dave Johnson

At 33 minutes: Moonshine: mentions Mavrus. Me: Zac isn't in this episode, he's not in the episode summary. *Zac starts speaking* Me: what is going on? At 40 minutes: Murph mentions Apple Scrumpers. Me: what the fuck is going on?!

Kestrel

I’m truly losing my mind

Emily

.... I’m literally speechless I can’t like what just happened. Oh my Pelor I thought I was ready but NOPE I didn’t think my heart could break anymore.

Austin Hendry

SIOBAAAAN!

Austin Hendry

ZAAAAC!

Jamie Advincula

happy new year??? exTREMELY SPICY ENDING

Josh Hoffman

I can't. That ending. 😭

Charlie Karls

It's going to be so weird here in Caldwell do Balnor's voice from now on.

Myka Donati

I feel like if NADDPOD was a play, Cooter would be the narrator.

Nate Zabinski

Whelp, time to cook up a new reincarnate table.

Andrew Estrada

Hi Murph, one quick question. Why you gotta do me like this?

Kieran Wade

This. Exactly this.

Jeff Davis

Thanks for keeping it a surprise!

Amy Birch

Woah. Such a rollercoaster of emotions listening to this ... can't wait for next week!

Murph, Emily, Caldwell, Jake- thanks for all that you do. The content you create brings me joy, making me look forward to each week.

Miss Ter Cole

Muuuuuuuuurrrrrph!

Elysium Ervin

Murph why?!

Geraint

No no no oh god no I'm scared now

Happy New Year! This episode made me feel the full range of emotions so I guess we're all starting off the new year right

Okay I was NOT expecting this many surprises, hell I even forgot it was coming out today but my jaw hit the floor so much.

This is already hilarious. “Rip those textbooks in half” 😂😂😂
