I've been relistening and for anyone wondering about the Shapechangers reaction to the Sorcerers, it is explained in basic terms in "Everything," S2, Ep2

Brandon Lytle

I was late to the game, but have finally caught up. I finally feel qualified to participate in WBN chat!

Oh my god

Congratulations on winning the comment section

New ice-breaker question: Who is your favorite NPC, and why is it The Fox?

Grace Hall

Taylor, I just heard the part where Brennan described the candle going out of focus and splitting into two AND YOU MADE THE SOUND OF THE CANDLE SPLIT IN MY HEADPHONES. My guy. What the fuck. You bring your A game to every scene and we are so lucky to get to benefit from your talents.

larkermouse

Or rather, would the wizards have attempted to capture somehow?

The Wizard “Slut”

I don’t have anything horny to say this week the only scene with sworn in it is too cute 🥴

DaphneDawn

You can go far in life with a solid prop. Many doors will open when you’re yelling “A little help? My hands are full!”

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

Also, any character that is like, basically BLeeM playing an unfiltered ID is going to be incredible

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

I still say some iteration of " I mitigated all the food", and my friends have zero context, and it makes me smile EVERY time!

Daughter of the Sun

I wonder if Brennan roled initiative between the sorcerer and the Imperial Ships in the sky. If the Imperial ships dropped first, I wonder if they would have actually attacked, instead of just banishing him away.

Brian Schoner

Fox with bottle = human with clipboard. They can go anywhere.

Emily C

I'm extremely happy that the language thing didn't kill The Fox in his first conversation with the shape shifters and only came into play with the owl. I was also so suspicious of that cabin to begin with so good to be vindicated.

Moosemade

I think Fox really is a shapeshifter, because he's clearly GoAT.

Blaize Gordon

Incredible episode as always and of course leaving me frothing at the mouth for more 🤣

natasha

That was the nail in the coffin for me! It made sense the first time she said and he didn't, she didn't let him. This time he straight up ignored it

Debs

Oh my God 😶 didn't even think about that. Just got chills

Stephen Bannasch

Horse with heroism reminded me of Horse from Centaurworld!

Sil

With what spell slot did he send it? That Nat20 investigation suggested no one would be getting sleep enough to regain them... so yea, no chance I'm believing that

Sil

Hang on, what was the reroll on Stealth when Vandal gave the help action (wrote cusses over places Suvi would've stepped)? It was "a high roll," but I don't think we got a number

Ali Cat

As soon as they got to Abassin, the music caused my brain to immediately picture it as part of the continent of Tamriel lmao

Susannah B.

humbly requesting the end of the limerick

Krusty Bo Busty

Damn, the HORSE made me cry

larkermouse

When they were talking about how, if they went into the holdout, they might also become trapped, I just kept thinking about the door knobs. But maybe Ame is saving them to use as a last resort? Maybe she doesn't want the wizards to know about this type of travel? Can't wait to find out.

Brother Alder

Gaothmai is unfortunately incredibly sick

Benjamin Röjder Delnavaz

The Fox is simply the best, one of the best lil' guys ever created

robo

and a lot of cliffs!!!

Devon

Missed that detail!

SeminoleDVM

Hey - I love all you guys.

Dukinator

ty for ep, yall r the bomb

Ro Lara

The whole time they were talking about how to get Silver out I was yelling "Ame The Doorknobs!!!!!??????" Perhaps????

mleanl

Saved this to listen to post-election and while I’m less than a minute in there is comfort in familiar voices, communal story telling, and the easy balance between humor and seriousness. Thank you for creating art that is a balm.

Adarsh Nednur

As always, I would die for the Fox. The absolute screech I let out at, "That stuff sounded like what Suvi would say!" Also, it must be said, I loved how the two different Ghibli films kind of overlapped in this episode (now that our whole party is together) without either one undercutting the other. Like there's no doubt that dealing with Firebringer disappearing, and the spirit's cliff trap, and the military strategy is all high-stakes and intense; but also Ame giving Sworn tea and saltwater taffy, and the ink demon goofs, and everything the Fox says and does is all genuinely silly in a way I love. In addition to it being good and interesting storytelling on a meta level, it also in-world really shows what value they bring to each others' lives. Hearing Suvi and Sworn keep their cool after Firebringer's banishment and reassuring Ame to help her power through, and then hearing the genuine joy in Suvi's voice at the Fox... it's like, oh yeah, they're friends because they complete each other, they give each other what they're missing without each other.

Adarsh Nednur

I took it as a combination of being relieved and grateful that Suvi came, being fucking exhausted from not having been allowed to sleep for days, being scared because of how dire the situation is, being burnt out from putting on a brave face for all of the other wizards trapped in there with him since he's the leader, being vulnerable because he finally has a peer he can express his fears to, and being anxious that he might have just brought Suvi here to die. Of course anything is possible but to me, the conversation, "You came -> I love you -> Sky, I think we're in a lot of trouble" said, "I'm so grateful you came, but my love for you means I need to be honest that maybe you shouldn't have"

KamasiFitzgerald

the concept of Sorcerous Houses has done the impossible and made sorcerers cool to me, well done Brennan that's a feat in itself

Sil

Next ep; Brennan delivers on 1x Ghost Army. Also, if something untoward DID happen to Firebringer due to that noble, y'all better burn those Houses ALL to the fkn ground.

Debs

Same!!! Makes me fear it's not silver after all

Debs

Stop 🤣

Debs

Same. Was ready to bawl when suvi said it, and the "we're in trouble" as an answer really bothered me

Debs

Yep. Also the answer to I love you was "we're in trouble"?

Nina

Also, I love how the outcome of the cottage trap could have been different had the initiative rolls been in an other order

Nina

Thank you Dice Gods for protecting the Fox today

Ashley Teatum

"I will give you spy chickens forever" 🤌✨

Stephen Bannasch

I think the door/portal is password protected if the Lions head is also used as a knocker

Lilith Evenstar

The sound that plays as the illusion fades is SO unnerving!!! What is that, liquid boiling in a glass flask?

Joseph

Chef’s kiss to Taylor. The sound design for this episode is fantastic.

I’m so jaded that my Bardic Inspiration ends up sounding like Vicious Mockery

Brennan, please please don't almost run the fox off a cliff ever again. thank you but also please keep him running his mouth. also thank you

natasha

....anyone else not totally convinced that was really silver??

Josh H

Seriously, take Lou’s dice away. Force him to roll non-cursed. 😱

Elizabeth Boskey

Gaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glitterbounce

A perfect after voting treat~☆ the newest wbn~☆ while I sew industrial straps onto a witchy dress for the qveen herby concert I'm going to on Thursday, and my partner is crocheting a fox with a witch/wizard hat in red and a cape in blue holding a tiny bear~☆ much nicer than last week's date night where we watched the gasronauts pilot and then got overstimulated trying to figure out how to feed all of dropout bc maybe they are not having second breakfasts~☆

Ashlee Bennett

#TeamFox 🦊❤️

Elizabeth Wright

W.W.S.D.? What would Suvi do? Good advice... sometimes.

Maddie Moreland

The way the Fox looks up to Suvi and tries to emulate her attitude means everything to me. Another banger of an episode, as always!

bails

“get a real shape” is devastating actually

Just_another_queer

The fox is the mvp as always!!!

Jordyn

I love a "Fox's Big Day" Episode

Bingus2277

This episode had a lot of cliffhangers!

Devon

Ah I see, disconnect it from the cottage. That’s not a bad idea. I’m holding out hope for this ending.

Devon

Also, upon further reflection, silvers voice could reflect relief and a new sense of hope that he has not felt in a while.

Nick Gosey

"Fuck you, and fuck your password! Get me to the man in charge!" The Fox is the best character ever!

irisilmaril

this show has heavily inspired the Homebrew setting i have made for my home game. Brennan’s descriptions of spirits and magic on podcast never fails to impress and inspire. My man is at the top of his game here.

Joshua H Katz

Do spirits call it "the real" or do they have a name for it from their own perspective?

William Alexander

Casting heroism on the nervous horse was exactly what I needed today.

Jordanne Stahl

The sorcerers and great houses are incredibly bad ass, I fear

Harper

I always considered listening 2x but never have! I’m going for it now, you’ve encouraged me 🤪

Thomas Raemy

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Kenny

I’m just gonna say, if Fox dies, I’m rioting.

Lauren

him not returning the i love you was my final nail in the coffin my body cannot take a two week wait to find out for certain

Lauren

i would love for him to dm something publicly one day

Lauren

*SPOILERS* I always listen to episodes twice: once to feel it, once to get it. To hear all of the little ways Brennan coded the cottage as bad: the amount of times he called it a cottage, the trees, the clarification of every step, was so cool to hear both times. Bravo all, as always.

Ty6260

Enzo my goat #cartography #directionallychallenged

robo

I’m thinking they’d let suvi and the wizards/soldiers through to toma and then disconnect it again.

Michael Redd

Much needed on a day like today

Devon

I hope so Michael, I hope so.

Devon

Dispel magic after they are done and the lion will have to be sacrificed?

Devon

FUCK I didn’t even THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!! Less stressed now, ty

Porter Clement

Loved it! Excited for more

Stone Pengelly

The fox was not lying when he said it’s too easy. Only time he had a small stutter was when he didn’t speak the language. As always amazing sound design and visual descriptions

Michael Mills

Certainly came off that way, didn't it? Hope it's not some horrible deception. I think I personally put it down to Silver beiing another wizard that is conditioned to the Citadels missions of borderline supremacism. Another spinning cog that comes off somewhat emotionless, even in pure helplessness.

Sean Britcher

Could be, but then how do they get the knob back AND make sure Gauthmai(sp?) Forces dont follow them through into the cottage?

Dream Wizard Kyle Arca

If you use Pocket Casts, it seems they upload a few hours there before here. :)

The Wizard Smudge

That cliffhanger was so brutal for me to need to wait two weeks 😭

Michael Mills

Staying awake until 1am just to listen to this episode as soon as possible. What an episode it was! Think I held my breath for those last 10 or so minutes though. Those clutch rolls, oh my god.

robo

I have a suspicion that a certain door knob will come into play for the extraction

Zachary Medlin

in this house we honor the cock

robo

the fox and the inky bois really came in clutch this ep!!!!

Shey

Lou going “Give me an insight check” gave me CHILLS

Devon

For someone who is in a lot of trouble, Silver's voice sounded like he was doing fine. Just have to say it.

The Wizard Sparrow

Oooo. Yes. Yes

The Wizard Sparrow

OMG. The Fox, the dice. My heart is racing. So so good. I will definitely have to listen to it again. Just absorb everything. Pins and needles 😎🦊

Grace Davis

This coming out today was perfect timing. I need a distraction. Thank you honored friends for making this lovely podcast for us to escape from reality for just a moment.

JoelleDFTBA

FUCK you and FUCK your password! Get a real shape!

Lilith Evenstar

This is not a place of breakfast!

Spencer from Canada

“Get a real shape” best become a shirt soon!!

Bingus2277

I'm very glad I have a wonderful distraction today

Dream Wizard Kyle Arca

"I'm skilled in healing" THIS IS TRIGGERING AND THE ENTIRE CAST KNOWS WHY! 🤣🤣🤣

SvenTS

"Welcome to my part of this beautiful campaign. There are no pancakes here. This is not a place of breakfast."

Devon

"Get a real shape!" had me feeling ashamed that I ever doubted him

Makenzie

HUGE moves from the fox what a legend

Devon

Can't wait for the fireside chat on this one, the characters/players really showed up in creative problem solving. SO to Lou/Eursalon for catching most of Brennan's traps and looking out for the group (whenever he clocks shit I think back to "I been playing DND with Brennan for a long time" and god I'm so thankful for it). This was an episode chock full of environmental details and I appreciate these moments as I imagine the players taking notes while being given a moment to think and process more. I am worried about the next episode though. Knowing what we know, what the fuck are they going to do? Also, not that this helps them at all in this moment but I hope Eursalon remembers his favor from Will Gallows before this campaign ends.
