Ep. 97: Titans of the Realm (The Chosen Saga)

Brian you evil genuis

Nova

I'm about to wrap my 5th listen through of this series and this episode still breaks me every time

Everyone had great arcs during the campaign. But Moonshine went that extra mile in my opinion. For me she is the real Alpha of the Band of Boobs.

Glenn Dhooge

“Hardone breaks the seal on the water skin” is one of my new favorite moments in the show lol

Jack Hubert, King of the Mole People under Iron Deep, dressed in blue and fighting his way through a bracket style tournament

I just got caught up to this episode; I'm 10 months late and just had to make sure SOMEONE else noticed this one!

mikel_pickle

keysi ellle

Thick sode!

Nick Wesell

Murph giving PawPaw the spores so she can use counterspell was *chef's kiss*

1man2hands

Very surprised nobody giggled at "afflicted with duty"

1man2hands

A big shill on your turtus

1man2hands

Mad props to everyone

I love this so hard god Damn it’s good storytelling

justice for Wintersault!

Jaimie Brougham

I just want Jake to know I laughed really hard at "that's a wintersault".

GREYFOX!!!!!

💙 ugh

D'ran Dana

OMG Murph I'm gonna kill you wtf

D'ran Dana

I finally got caught up after being behind for a bit and what a sode to get caught up on. 96 was great with Cordon Bleu and the Glittering Lady but the pestilence reveal was next level. I audibly yelled when Erdan was talking through the process with Bev. Major probs to Murph for building everything and to all the players for fully immerssing in the world.

Andrew Davis

This was such a thick sode

Such an intense party split. Didn't expect to see that ever again.

Jacob Jaffe

I was right holy shit

Thomas Ricketts

I got an elven shield from Lucanus which gives me +3 on Dex Saves and zero damage when it would normally be halved. Luckily I think Balnor has my old shield now so it should help him out! ~ Caldwell

Not Another D&D Podcast

When you check the music for the session and you see the purge. Oh god oh fuck

Thomas Ricketts

The music when Malora bestows the Boob Boons™ is amazing. I've relistened to that part of the episode 3 times just to hear it again. Any chance that comes out individually eventually so I can shamelessly steal it for my own campaign?

Has anyone else wondered whatever happened to Bev's Shield of Arrow Catching? Am I forgetting something where he lost it or gave it away? Because that thing certainly would have come in handy.

Good Sir James

Just the idea that Hardwon put his walls down then gets attack by his best friend, his sister, and his queen.

I wonder if Mavrus just woke up, went "Huh. Guess I hate them now" and went back to sleep in his lavish room.

Liz Ruifrok

THIS EPISODE. When PeePaw Luke asked Moonshine to learn the spell with him alone my gut was saying something is wrong. It was so tense! Insanely good. ♥️

Em

Elder Boar!

Kestrel

Bev Revivified them!

Kestrel

Couldn’t have said it better. Absolutely fantastic episode!

Futureidk 1

That episode. Now that is a d&d game, was funny and sad all at once. The counter spell Emily did was so good and that cliffhanger. Ugh can't wait for the next episode. Also turdis lol

Brenda Gibbner

When they renamed Cordon to Budler Bleu it kept getting me because the mascot at my alma mater, Butler University, is named Butler Blue and it's a little English Bulldog.

Cavan McGinsie

I knew shit was about to go down when Murph started splitting them up. Great episode you evil genius

Stephen Lander

didn’t all the dwarf crew members die????

Zachary Finch

Ain't nothing like Sticky Buns & Hash Brown Stuff! Heroes are made in the kitchen!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Emily is a god at DnD lol, love that counterspell insurance setup

Graeme Carey

Oh. My. God. I never saw that coming, freaking great sode!!!!!

Penny Garbo

Man, I knew something was fishy when I realized Lucanis was sleeping...

Tim Sauerland

All of you guys are amazing but damn Murph you really know how to tell a good story. Thank you guys so much for all of this.

Nicholas Neal

When I prepare my scenarios I think I become quite the bastard (I compare myself often to a Bad Place Architect), but dang I have nothing on you Murph! That was wicked and beautiful! GMs have been threatened of getting beat up in Denny's parking lots for less.

Garga Lenoir

God you guys are SO GOOD

meaghan sheridan

It sounded like the dragon was just bones at this point though...

Dalton Davidson

It's about time murph got to do some womping of his own, the boobs were getting too comfy and he knew it haha

Ben Steen

It’s insane to think there is a world out there where the boobs were forced to kill there friends, or die.

Good Guy Josh

This had me for like a second, and then I laughed my ass off haha Does anybody else just want an audio mashup of all the different times they've gone off on the jake/jill marriage problems and divorce rants? They're too funny!

Ben Steen

10/10 intro

Marisa

This episode was just me going “oh Murph’s a genius” “oh Emily’s a genius” back and forth to myself for two hours. Thanks it was incredibly stressful and I’m scared

Kestrel

I'm equally angry, impressed, and just everything at Murph. Like that was foul, but so freaking epic!

Such a great sode! Truthfully since they defeated the tarrasque I’ve felt there are very few stakes - that no matter what the Boobs will survive. But, now I feel tense and that the Boobs will have to earn this upcoming victory.

All Pulp! No Juice!

I cannot properly express all the things this episode made me feel. Which is particularly bad since I'm sure my coworkers think I'm nuts now because of all the facial expressions I made.

Eat your fucking dice Murphy

Oscar de la Garza

Shoutout to the Maryland accent 😂

ananarama

Oh my god this episode killed me. I cried and laughed at the same time at some points, goddammit.

Emma Margaret

At "drahgons, turdises, and robits" I accidentally shot tea out my nose.

Ash Hammack

I wish we meet Cordone earlier. I just love this fancy scaly boy so much.

Fuck you, Murph, eat a rat.

Katy Tacik

Selfless attack ❤️❤️❤️

Brother Alder

The Turdis sounds like the place Doctor Who goes to take a dump

Good Sir James

I love you eat a rat 🐀

Good Guy Josh

OMG anyone else have the same exact reaction as Caldwell? Also the almost tremor in Emily's voice as Moonshine is talking to P'Pa Luke and MeaMa as she prepares for Murph to just stab her in the gut then still frame the scene....👏 bravo Murph, SUPER HYPED for the short rest aswell.

Ryley D

Caldwell saying "I know I haven't said this in a long time, but FUCK YOU" Christ, Murph! You're killing us! Such a dope episode 😬

Amy Birch

Moonshine: *prepares to counter spell herself* Me: *vigorously takes notes*

Turner Tush

Really liked the scene of Moonshine telling the Glittering Lady that she had impressed upon Melora by saying that some of the attributes she looks up to are things that are distinctly exemplified by Tulane. Awesome moment. Bevs montage was amazing. You keep outdoing yourself with the story, Murph. Bev is going to have a tough time coping with everything after what happened though. Wonder how that all plays out. Also the last horseman. I can only imagine, going to be insanely epic.

JayForce

oh god, please let Urdan and dragon boy saveable.

Her Majesty, Claudette

so that happened and then THAT HAPPENED IM SCREAMING

Jamie Advincula

Wow, too real haha

"How to make a titan feel like a weenie" should be the name of the episode. Love Murph raising the bar for the buffed boobs but DAMN! nearly took the boyz out in 2 rounds and moonshine burnt all her spells right after they got their upgrades. Fucking intense. Loved the ep crew. Keep it up

What are mawmaw’s stats?

Sawyer Rogers

Yet another perfect story from Murph😎 Nearly cried when the reveal of the boobs new abilities were😆👍

Luna reminds me of Murph in his college humor videos with Jake

5pm in Eastern Australia. It's podcastin' time!

Nicholas Bassett

Also, played my first game of D&D the other night! Thank you, Boobs, for this new adventure.

The Green Magus

I woke up and saw this dropped and now I can't go back to bed

The Green Magus

You love to see it

Emmie

You spoil us, Brian Murphy

Murph works himself to the bone for us, but I think we need to talk the real thing he's working to escape from. Marriage problems. More specifically, Jake's marriage problems. I know that it's not my place to address Jill's whereabouts or Jake's brutal criticisms of Murph's abilities as a dm, a man, and a husband. All I can say is that I've been practicing my hardwon voice in case Jake wants to take a quick breather to figure himself out

Mick C

You didn't have too.

Murph is the #1 best of all time!!!

Thank you papa Murph

Murph my guy!

oh my gosh murph please go to bed

Minnie Bunch

Yaaaaaay!
