Eldermourne - Ep. 9: Hexblood (w/ Lou Wilson)

like i literally saw them live on Travis' last tour at Birmingham NEC (i think it was there, anyway, cba to look it up) :')

Camilla Jefferson

i turn 35 in 6 days and just now, thanks to this ep, got the pun in the title of that Blink album. tbc i was a greeb/skate park kid lol

Camilla Jefferson

I absolutely love these characters, and Lou is fantastic as always! So excited for this arc!

Amira Larrick

I really like the format of this ep. The old “getting the band back together” call is a brilliant was to start a new campaign. I might just steal that for my own campaign’s first session. Seems like a great way to around the table and get everyone invested at a good pace

CommodoreBlue

my heart goes out to the folks who skipped the outro segment and missed out on the origin story of blink-182’s take off your pants and jacket

Dorian Doran

We are leaning hard into the Wiscussy and I’m loving it.

Daddy Dekaye

For a long time I thought he was saying "sweet Lou niño"

The Seasonal Goblin

no and no

Summer Tribe

I absolutely love Jabari so much. I miss Caldwell but what a great way to spend his absence while he works on daddy duty. ♥️

nonya bizness

Tarragon's voice has me picturing Sarah Paulson as a monk haha

if Emily is into mmos, final fantasy 14 is a really good one. it's super narrative heavy, definitely a great story ^-^ also I'm beginning to question if Jake knows that blink182 has good music that's newer.

ursa

I totally second this!!

Lou is a gem, I love his energy and hope there's a way he can continue on the podcast!

Carrie Copa

This episode really felt like old-school NADDPOD, so much fun and banter. Lou just rocked this out of the park

Bryce Baker

Not saying I'm happy Caldwell is not in this arc, but a little sad that Lou is only a short-term player. PLEASE find a way to make Jabari full-time!

Amazing bravo

Hamish

Brian you are truly one of the best DMs...your world build is so inspirational!

Lou has that same fun manic energy that Caldwell has, he's great and a great complement to your group.

Amazing episode, damn do I love me some Lou! What a wild start to the arc 😶. Can't wait until the next episode.

Incredible! Lou hype! I cannot wait for next week. Once again Lou plays an absolute king and I am here for it.

I really enjoy this new side campaign,I think I like it more then the new main, you think we could just add Caldwell to this one and make this the new main campaign?

Jordon Abbe

I'm here for Corvo McConaughey, that shit is hilarious lol

INFINITE

Quick shout-out to Murph for the quick thinking on the Help action: When Corvo gave a "motivational speech" to Taragon, instead of invalidating the Help action or prompting Corvo to so something else, Murph came up with another mechanical boon to help his ally. Very cool to see!

Paul Llama

That’s Zirk’s mentor.

Brett

Lou is a vibe and I am here for it!

Hollie Tawhiao

Lou Wilson is correct, the new Avalanches album is great. Go listen to it.

Adam Haikal

Fam, did anyone catch the “ashes of Arthur Penley”? Why is that name so familiar? So stoked to have Lou around. Brings a totally awesome energy to the podcast

Maddie

He sure was Thirstin'. Thirstin' for BLOOD

Mentalpop

So hyped for Lou! Genuinely such a great episode, and I love this group dynamic.

Blair the bugblair barblairian

The Trickster brought magic into the world but doesn't really have dominion over it. It seems like the Sorceress just considers magic to be a convenient source of personal power rather than a gift of the Trickster.

HalfLighter

amazing first episode! i'm kinda dumb though and always miss parts when setting up lore/background - can someone explain why the sorceress would have said "the wicked trickster"? wouldn't a sorceress be the kind of person who loves and worships the trickster?

Rachel

Fuck yes!!! Mass migration to Instagram!!!!

Sametc

Yeah she specifically says later that if anyone tries to call her out on that spell she's Cleric 6 Monk 5 lmao

William Higgins

I never noticed the innuendo in "Take off your pants and jacket"! 🤣

Emily

I love all three of these characters and the world of Eldermourne so much. This crew is amazing and I appreciate all the amazing adventures you all create!

Dante Roush

I wrote a quick simulation of the ritual to see how dangerous it was. Warnings spoilers for the episode at the top of the script: https://perlbanjo.com/f9ae4eef4f

Chas. Owens

I love how distinct your character voices are.

Well they said that this new crew already had a big adventure years ago that leveled them up to where they are now, so that might even make this the campaign after the campaign during the campaign after the campaign after the campaign...

So this is the campaign during the campaign after the campaign after the campaign, right? 🤣🤣🤣

Emily

*looks at the music list and sees 'Starspawn'* This is going to be a good episode. Love that we could tell Tarragon's accent before she spoke because Emily took it on too. Jake's "wise words" were great. And Jabari is so off-puttingly exuberant in the best way.

Samuel Benhardt

Murph, you’re an absolute madman. I can only imagine the shock on the players faces as you revealed the death saves. What a power move.

Garrett Morrow

My ass is chapped by how on the edge of my seat I was listening to this encounter.. so dope, Daddy Murph! So freakin tense.. I loved it!

theGRAINGERzone

The Hexbuds?

Allison Weninger

They’re on Apple Music for sure, probably on Spotify too!

Scott Hewson

Lou’s pronunciation sounds quite Japanese when he says Jabari (ジャバリ?) and it sounds great. My girlfriend is Japanese and she agreed (if that’s what he’s going for haha), great episode and loving everyone’s new characters!!

Scott Hewson

First concert, Blink 182!

Reiko

Absolutely loved the episode!! This arc is gonna be so fun!

Eric Irwin

Emily - where can I listen to these tracks and do I have your permission to use them for my home game???

I Had Something For This

Honestly surprised that Corbeau did not turn out to be canonically 6' 7.5" after Lou introduced Jabari. 🙂

Stephanie Karisny

“Role me 10 death saves!” I was like, oh no!!

Connor Noonan

This crew just makes me think of the Beatles after they broke up lmao I love it

Turner Tush

Truly love the LouCrew name for the players, but may I suggest HexBUDS for the PCs? XD Love this first ep!!

Britt Murphy

I was today years old when I realized that Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was a pun.

Bonky Fiasco

Oh man, I love Oops, All Monks. Jake playing the counterpoint was beautiful. Genuinely surprised me with that depth of character and story telling by Jake. New kind of character from you and I ABSOLUTELY want to see more of this from Jake. Em, beautiful as always! Your character development and depth in only a short amount of time is second to none. Lou, perfect fit in with these talented players. Look forward to how this arc plays out. Murph, inspiring as well with your creative storytelling and design. Loving all of this!

Brian Jones

THE MUSIC!!!! EMILY AXFORD YOU’VE OUT DONE YOURSELF!!!

Sabrina Bernaby

Lou is the perfect addition to this group, his energy fits in SO well! and Jake was exceptional in this sode!!! I love this arc and every character immediately, I cannot wait for more!!

Dana A

Each of Jake’s characters are better than the last

Wow thats was easily one of my favourite episodes of all time, i love these characters sooo much!!!

Tom Edgerton

Anthem Pt. II does indeed slap in the year of our lord 2021

Jake is Joel Osteen lol

Joe

So we’re calling this trio the Hexbuds right?

Jesus fucking Christ Brian Murphy you make the most beautiful encounters😭

Myles R Harris

As a Jonathan myself, I am honored to be included as a notorious grifter

J. Marshall Smith

I want the final episode of this arc to have Caldwell come back and play the big bad

Sawyer Erstad

This is my favorite first episode from all the campaigns so far! The imagery was great and it's insane how invested yall got me in one episode.

Holy Elder listened to it at the paper factory this morning. Love this new arc. Tremendous energy from Lou with Jabari which is my shit. Great work Lou Crew!!!

Nesve Fowl

This new adventure is going to be amazing! Are we ever going to have a cross over where these characters get to meet the Choo Choo Crew?!

Katie Watkins

I love the plugging of WOW at the end, me and my bf have been going hard December and this month. Also, hate to point out this awkward mistake but I think Cameron Diaz forgot to unmute herself again 😬

Lizzy French

I love that we saw the prophet Kane (Cain?) back immediately tied back in with the ashes, how long have you been planning murph! Question, if they had ended up fighting, could the lou-crew have killed Kane?, would that mean that Henry and Zirk miss out on getting closure with him in their stories? Will the outcomes of this arc have immediate repercussions in the main campaign? Did you purposefully name Caldwell's last episode before his leave "until we meet again"?

Steph

Alliance or Horde? Also how do you like the new expansion?

Sand Panda

Okay, Emily and Brian. What would you think about stream WoW

Will Erwin

Murph continues to surprise with some of the coolest encounters this side of the Mississippi. And also the other side of the Mississippi

or "the campaign during the campaign after the campaign after the campaign."? :D whatever it is we're going to need a chart to keep track soon.

Steph

The mental image of Jabari excitedly doing high kicks is the funniest thing I've heard in weeks, shdhdjdjsj

Saru

I'm not even halfway through the episode but if something happens to Lake I will turn the podcast around, so help me.

Should this be "the campaign after the campaign after the campaign during the campaign"?

Danny B.

Dark Blood Ritual of True Friendship! Let’s go LouCrew!

Maxwel Anderson

Love the new team. And thanks for the shout out at the end there Jake. Long live the onks!

Pork Chop

First time I get to listen to an episode the day it comes out. I must say, I don't like waiting for the next episode. It was actually nice when I knew there was another one to listen to straight after I finished one. The downside of being all caught up...

Anthony Felton

Also, Emily sounds like she’s teetering between Canadian Sophia Lee and Brenda Elizabeth.

Ganonbort

Jake was so good in this episode and could tell Murph was loving corbeau. Lou fits in so well and Emily as always has such in depth characters. So excited for this

Terrence Jackson

Massive deadeye vibes coming from Corbeau, I love it... And just the whole setup and design of the encounter *chefs kiss* A rose to you Brian Murphy and roses to all the pc’s. My only thorn is that Caldwell can’t be an elite monk

Ganonbort

"I Swear To You, I Was Never So Alive As When I Was Winning This Throne, Or So Dead As Now That I've Won It."

Vie.

God damn! I was near tears when Tarragon was failing saves and bo hopped in

Vie.

Having a black man on this podcast activates a new level of hype within myself

My bond is the week is My mother because name a better Bond than the BOND you have with you mom.. go ahead I'll wait.

listen the king being a meathead jock in a gothic fantasy is everything I ever wanted

Mouse

I CANNOT WAIT to see the fan art for these characters

I really needed this one tonight. Thank you, Lou Crew!

Wyatte Copeland

LOU CREW UNITE!

Ethan

I have been counting down the minutes for this to post! Thank you Choo Choo Crew and Daddy Murph for putting out episodes in this crazy messed up world that is December 38, 2020

Melissa MacDoyle

Hey ...psstt..... thanks

Frank

Oh my fucking god do I need this right now. Thank you Lou crew!

Can’t wait to find out what surprise character Cameron Diaz will be playing

Terran Benedict
