Short Rest: Eldermourne - Ep. 17: Monsters of the Mountain

listening to this, knowing that the campaign ends around lvl 12 combined with the fact that emily said that they would become cool around lvl 12 is wild

Aiyana

"That's why my mom lives with us" master punchline

Hailee Henson

Holy moly this murph roast is so d*rn funny.

The Seasonal Goblin

Yes!! Please come to Australia! 😍

Abigail Harden

Ive never been more glad that i pay for the short rest, the possum slideshow changed my fucken life

Marni Russell

I am now trying to imagine Scomo listening to NADPPD 😂

Please come to Australia! Our possums are so much cuter than Opossums. We have sugar gliders (a type of possum) that are basically like the hang glider from BOTW. Brisbane has a really great sanctuary called Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary (it has plenty of other native animals 2) and a man made beach (southbank) by the river. The Gold Coast (about 2 hours from Brisbane) has a bunch of cool amusement parks and great hotels and beaches. I would die if you came to QLD. But also I understand these things are very complicated. All my love, Sarah

nathan defense squad, prismatic spray rules and some of us love that crunchy spell fuckery

Why is Kevin Sorbo a bad guy?

Keith Conner

I love how I tune out for a minute when they're talking about Henry being lucky and come back to babies and whether or not people cut the umbilical cord.

No notes for the possums?!? Also did some research on the turtle situation. Some places experience warm winters and this disturbs the hibernation process, so it's actually recommended to keep them in the fridge ALL winter

Bulbarat

Listening to you guys gush about the adorable possums of Australia is peak podcast listening. 👌🏻😻

Lily Everett-Curwick

Come to NZ. We love possums... Awkward 🐢

Oliver Aughton

I lived in Melbourne for a year. I had one of these possums almost fall on my head while eating fruit from someone's tree. Another time two of them got in the roof of our apartment. It sounded like to banshees screeching at each other all night. Super cute but so scary sounding.

Delayed on listening this short rest, but i need to defend peanut butter whiskey real quick. Admittedly, it’s disgusting by itself. Mix that shit with hot chocolate, and you’ve got yourself a boozy, liquid Reese’s Cup. Give it a try and tell me I’m wrong.

JBeev

Yes! Please come to Melbourne!! (Full disclosure - best possum place is in Healesville, which is an hour out but incredibly worth it)

To offset Jake taking the lucky feat, you could just give your NPCs the lucky feat aswell and have them use their luck points on the same rolls that Jake does. 5e rules says that the points would cancel each other out. That’d be funny to see in a boss fight

YAY PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA!

Amy Boyle

I live in Colorado*, but if you go to Australia, definitely go to some sort of reptile sanctuary or something! There are tons of blue tongue skink species native to Australia. They are probably the some of the cutest reptiles! One of the cutest Australian skink species is the shingleback - they look like pinecones! (Plus, back here in the states, some Australian species are available as pets - we have a northern blue tongue skink!) *Please do a show near Boulder when it's safe!

Kaitlyn with a K and a Y

I need Zirk to have Farrah fawcett bangs so badly

Jessie Kelly

I want to see the PowerPoint!

Allison Holloway

Short rest, the only podcast where you can listen to a live reading of an Australian possum PowerPoint and be equally persuaded to go there

Denis

I think it’s really funny that Caldwell, who played avid Dad Collector Beverly Toegold V, is now himself a dad. it seems like the real Dad was inside you all along!

Mirjam K

I don't think there's anyway to get access to the features of a different subclass in the same class.

HalfLighter

Instead of Melbourne, come to Adelaide, South Australia! We’re already hosting live events! We just wrapped up our month long fringe festival! (Arts festival)

Lara

Can fia learn portent?

Chris Fuller

i agree jake once he breaks the curse he should be lucky

Good Guy Josh

who the heck is this wildlife conservationalist and where do you work, i wanna rock up in my 2 crew hat

James Langdon

Another crazy thing about Halfling luck is that you can take the Bountiful Lucky feat and basically give your whole party Halfling luck.

YES come to Australia. We already have live events and stadiums at 100% capacity

Okay Caldwell I need that link to the four reptile friends. Can't find it!!

Maddy96

When Jake said he had a surprise I briefly thought he would read the letter. Apparently I'm not over it yet!

Garga Lenoir

What if jake took the unlucky feat instead. Force monsters to reroll 3 times per day. Hank just radiates bad luck.

Xymel

Watch a crick call thunder down under!

Baron Trousers

Can't believe I waited so long to subscribe for the Short Rest. These are hilarious. I'm on a mad NADDPOD dash right now. I'm over 75% through Campaign 1!

LaserOstriches

if anything he's a low level eldritch knight

Kate W

Fully agree with murph that gandalf is a fighter with cantrips

MrMach6

Spring = rebirth ??? Easy clap

Lisquander

Ew! The umbilical cord thing was so cringey!!! 😬😂😂

Mad Dungeon Mama

I am definitely #AntiShortsCoalition !

JoWade

I have sooo many short rest to watch but I’m hype to be a actual member now!!

Danny Hocutt

Gandalf is a cleric, he's a front line magic user who gets his powers from a divine source. He even uses the thaumaturgy cantrip on Bilbo in Fellowship when he tells him not to take him for a conjurer of cheap tricks!

Robin

We already have live events in Australia! And Queensland has Australia Zoo! It's iconic!

Emily

The idea that Murph's mum not only didn't cut the umbilical cord but also never delivered the afterbirth is insane to me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emily

Please come to Brisbane when you come to Australia!!

Polly Rinehart

Jeans only? Come to Queensland and say that!

Emily

The Big Bangs Bros

Please bring a show to Melbourne. I work for a 250 seat theatre and can confirm we’ve been allowed to do performances since roughly Christmas.

Gandalf is a fighter with the magic initiate feat

I'd love if you guys came to NZ but if I have to go to Australia to see you this time I will.

Frankenjam

Paladin Murph wading into chaotic waters! Cream colored shirts, crunchy PB whiskey, Big Bang docs, oh my!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

I have to second this. I'm in NZ but I lived in Perth for a few years and it's an amazing place!

Hollie Tawhiao

Please if you come to Australia don't skip out on Perth like so many international artists. We have so much to offer and you will not regret it.

Brobold the Kobold

I think what they're really saying is it is a bit boring to listen to someone playing as a lucky fighter every single campaign. Hank is just clearly an unlucky character.

Harry B

The Australian possum segment was so good! As an Australian, when they were talking about PawPaw in C1, my first thought was our small cute possums and I had NO idea that American possums were massive hahaha

You can find them here: https://www.naddpod.com/archive sprinkled into the main feed

Mentalpop

Australia forever, we have live events. Covid is *over*

This may be a silly question but how do I listen to the rotating heros podcast? I haven't seen it posted on the patreon page, but I might just be missing something. Thanks!

Becca_rebaker

Definitely come to Melbourne, the possums in Flagstaff gardens let you pet them.

Great episode but immensely disappointed it wasn’t called “Short Shorts Rest”

My favorite way to experience a slideshow is definitely it being described in podcast form lol

Zane C

I actually really like it by itself, it's almost like a dessert whiskey, which is a weird thing to say but it's enjoyable anyway

Zane C

SECONDED SO HARD

Taleisha G

My dad is a fashionista and I love him

Taleisha G

we have good beer? I'm in Quebec and i think i remember Jake saying he went to montreal and loved it! Where are you at?

Anyone have a lead on Caldwell's 4 cute reptile friends eating together tiktok video? That sounds like something our eyes all kind of need now...

they do have big childhood friends to lovers energy 👀👀👀

Saru

i googled the pygmy possum and almost started crying theyre so small

Marisa

I am not a dad, but I am anti-jean. I haven't worn jeans in almost 8 years. I recently bought a pair of specifically total-flex since I can actually move in them and they are actually comfortable. I am also the guy who wears shorts in the winter because I run hot(I live near Seattle)

Gabe Petersen

Please guys if you ever make it to Australia you've gotta come to Perth

DanDrako

Peanut butter whiskey is actually pretty good when its with stuff! Like a pb&j shot or in a milkshake

Tasha Quiett

I just restored my halfling bard WITH lucky feat... it’s funny because I never used either Halfling Luck and used Lucky I think like 3 times in my entire time with them. I guess I was just... lucky to not need them

Dr.Bees

Okay but the gay subtext with Irina and Fia is deliberate right?? Discovering magic with your childhood friend, getting caught, a puritanical religious community ostracising you for it??? Someone tell me I’m not totally projecting

Alex Rkc

Oh my!!! My cheeks hurt from laughing at the lucky debate

Krista Ray

Gandalf is a paladin and also is technically an angel. He’s one of the Maia, which is basically the equivalent to being a demigod in Greek mythology.

Tim Dominick

Gandalf is a Paladin.

BonesBoy

Such a great game. I played it again a few months ago and that fight against like 8 crystals is so annoying...

Theodore Giesen

Or at least let him do the presentation as a live streamed mix bag

Maddie

Dunkle Caldewell with the FFTA reference! I’ve been replaying that recently and feel very seen haha

Curtis Legault

I'm gonna be a new Jeans Dad!! How do I join the anti-shorts collation?

TonySteel

zirk always seems like he has jarvis cocker bangs

jick

Gandalf the fighter is insane!

keysi ellle

came here to demand murph big bang pictures!

oh no I love making slide shows but don't know how I would convince Americans to come to Canada for a live show

Mouse

Also explains why he doesn't use magic for trivial things often- no cantrips.

Bastet

I'm usually partial to straight whiskey but Skrewball is good shit. Put some respect on it!

Bastet

Fool of a Took, I have arcane recovery! That made me laugh for much longer than I care to admit

Barbie Pootsky

Gandalf’s absolutely a Paladin. He has really weak magic but swings his sword with holy power. He summons shadowfax (what one might call a STEED). Plus it’s been well-documented that he instilled courage into the hearts of the warriors at minas tirith when the witch king attacked (aura of courage). I rest my case

Wait wouldn't getting Shank be considered being lucky compared to Hanks other past lives? Murph himself said Hank's shadow was not due to the curse. It was reaper related so maybe being touched by the god gave him some luck. He also now knows he's cursed and he has friends to help him vs his previous lives.

Canid

Ah yes peanut butter skrewball. We sell it at Costco. You need something to go with it. Chambord raspberry liqueur is a good one for pb&j shots. Skrewball mudslides and peanut butter white Irish.

Canid

Reminded me of this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3jpksw/gandalf_was_really_just_fighter_with_int18/?sort=top

Murph's comment about bangs making the characters look uncool made me laugh more than it should have! Any time I want to make a hot character, I almost always give them baby bangs lol. If powerpoints are encouraged, I will 100% send the 2 crew a powerpoint making the case for a Vegas show.

ursa

Omg yes please come to Australia! You’ll probably have to go through the two week quarantine though, but live events are back and happening for us

Brenton

naming these "1" is just next level chaos energy

zach orion miller

Putting turtles in the fridge is normal. They need to hibernate but they wont do it if it's not cold. And it's not cold if you live in California.

James Ching

Come to Melbourne, the beer is cold, the possums are rascals and the banter is good! NaddPod got so many of me and my other friends in Melbourne through the world's longest lockdown. We will shout y'all some tins when you get out here! Shorts optional! Also, the hot springs also have a -20(C) cold cave. And look up Leadbeater Possums!!!

Mick

Live shows are a-okay in Brisbane Australia so if Melbourne isn't allowed they probably will be soon! I don't know what the deal is with flights and who's allowed in but right now, once you're here you've got to spend two weeks in hotel quarantine, so... (Melbourne is awesome but Brisbane is also pretty rad and like, if you're here already....)

Sametc

Yes come to Melbourne!!

Matt Atkinson

Yesssss thank you to whoever did the Australian PP! Can’t wait for a Melbourne show!! Also, our possums really are delightful! Cheeky, but delightful.

Talia

OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA (MELBOURNE) IT WOULD MAKE MY 2021!!!

Connor Noonan

Not related to the ep, but if Em is still having issues with the cats in her veggies, then add some coffee grounds to your compost. Natural cat repellant!

Mick

Please come to Australia!!! I will give up everything to see you guys!!!

Samual brewis

I feel like this was extra chaotic today, I love it.

Nick Neverman

Sitting on my floor googling pictures of possums.

Alga Wyspe

My dad used to be a Jeans Dad until he was fifty. When he first got a pair of jogging pants he nearly threw them away without even trying them on because he said I was laughing at him. He now is a double agent - Jeans Dad in public and Jogging pants at home. I still cannot believe that we wore jeans at home for so long.

Saru

As someone who has climbed for the past 17 years, never climb tandem!!! Loved the outcome though and am absolutely stealing these mechanics for my players

Mr. Satan, the World Martial Arts Champion and the Earth's protector

I just want to say that nothing in this whooooole podcast makes me laugh harder then when Emily roast Murph

Barback of Penance

Jake needs to bring his case for Luck Points to D&D Court

Some turtles and tortoises hibernate and placing them in a fridge or other climate controlled (AND WELL VENTILATED) space to simulate the weather they would get in the wild is part of maintaining their health. I personally have a dedicated minifridge for the winter for my russian tortoises.

Dakota Paulson

PENDERGREENS

Ted Orbach

Shorts are the best I always run hot, so they are amazing.

Nesve Fowl

The highest level spell Gandalf ever casts is 2nd leve (heat metal.) He also duel wields a staff and a long sword. He’s a fighter with some feats or 3 levels in wizard. Gandalf’s a martial character prove me wrong.

Turner Tush

I love that as soon as I turn on some music this drops
