I truly feel for Thiala more now. She's kinda awesome once you think about what she is actually standing for. I know she's being portrayed as the BBEG (and probably is) but I sort of support her stance in the world of Bahumia.

Emily, you can't just say "help action!" with no explanation and get advantage...great episode though!!!

I love how the band of Boobs judge Thiala, then as soon as they are in hell they start using it and the people there to do their greater good, hopefully they'll understand her more now

That and Hardwon using an action surge to read are definitely top-tier moments

Liam Cornell

Did anyone get the John Elway the sword reference

The fact that Balnor would follow them to hell w/o question tho ❤️

Eric and Andrea Benoit

If only it was a world if his creation that only borrows elements from traditional dnd

Noah James Perito

I don’t think it’s Avernus, since the other layers have new names

Murph’s adaptation/butchery of conventional D&D lore is fascinating; I’m going to pretend that it’s entirely according to some complex backstory, where things were normal in the “original” campaign, but the side effects changed everything since then. Changes Murph has made: - The Githzerai and Githyanki would never “set aside their differences” to fight mind flayers. Neither one is a fan of Illithidi, but they generally kill *each other* on sight. It’s sort of a deliberate theme that they could easily wipe out the mind flayers if only they could work together. - There are lots of individual elder brains, each leading colonies of ~100 mind flayers. Not a single, all-ruling brainmommy - The Nine Hells are Avernus, Dis, Minauros, Phlegathos, Stygia, Malbolgre, Maladomini, Cania, and Nessus. “Lust” and “Heresy” don’t factor in at all - The war fought on the first level, part of The Blood War, is between the devils of Baator and the demons of the Abyss - This one varies by edition, but Asmodeus often is specifically considered a non-deity, Ahriman notwithstanding. So my assumption is that when the first party came through, they helped open diplomatic channels between the Gith factions, they stopped the Abyss from spilling into Baator (thus slowing down if not outright ending The Blood War), and Ilsed restructured Baator to its current form. The various Elder Brains all merged into the singular Brainmommy on their own.

Same! I couldn't point out what it was reminding me of at first, and then it hit me so hard bsjajka

All Pulp! No Juice!

The biker gang in the beginning gave me Fantasy High / Johnny Spells vibes - Daddio!

Jack

When is the short rest going to post?

Daniel Huscher

so do the 9 hells look like gat out of hell

Lisa Hartman

Were those some Sonic adventure book references with Dancesaw and Ripchain?? So good

Savannah M

Was the short rest being posted later this week?

Sarah

Damn Murph. Layers on Layers of callbacks!

Cody Schlosser

I'm super excited about this Avernus stuff! I wonder if Murph is going to apply the rules regarding travel on Avernus where distance gets wonky for no reason.

Paul Hein

Gonna get me some Naddpod on!!!! Woot!

Benwahah

The whole place gave me a borderlands feel honestly and i was all for it

James Vinciullo

Hmm, that Timmy the Tuna song is a little suspicious. “if I fillet here” sounds a hell of a lot like “if I FLAY here”. Timmy the Tuna = The Elder Brain all along?

DrMegaManPhD

I got a real chrono trigger robo theme vibe there for a bit

narsty

melora bless you

Hey so I was inspired by the intro and did a dumb thing... I bought huskmusk.com so it redirects to your store page

Anyone feel like the new council of elders shoutouts would be a great way to create doge ball teams at NAD con.

The music for this episode is so top tier! I was running during the buzzers cutters description and I was getting pumped for the fight, then the fight music kicked and I was like, "hell yeah watch this!"

Dave Johnson

I would be so screwed in Bahumia because I get too invested in these NPC's that are horrible people. #teamRipchain

Dantizzle

Let's go descent into avernus! Loving the mad max esque stuff!

Jack

Hell's music is amazing

Myka Donati

The voice given to Buzzer's Cutters sounded like a mix between a borderlands character in Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage and Shaggy from scooby doo. I love it.

Brandalf The Bae

Loving the industrial vibe of this sode

James Lloyd

Brilliant timing, i was able to listen to it while I did some very boring work in the lab. Also great to hear some Descent Into Avernus inspired stuff, I am about to start DMing and considered running that adventure. Hopefully I'll get to play it at some point

Max Cooper

I came up with... way too many husk/musk rhymes, but "Moonshine Cybin: loves the husk, makes the musk" and "riding in a dead goblin god husk/ ridden as a pregnant moose with musk" were my faves
