Ep. 85: Rogue Gods (The Hellfire Chronicles)

I'm freaking the fuck out Siobhan and Zack in one episode

wilhelm paul martinez

Not that anyone will see this 4 years later but caldwell's mothra/godzilla reference got no love in the room and I'm here to correct that

Kellyd

Lmao

Made it back around to this episode again and the intro still sends me into so many emotions lol if only you knew boobs if only you knew

k.allen

2023 and the year of the crit still hurts

Austin Sharp

Love sparila being pregnant because we know that tiny babe

Chris

on a Dex save or check! It always bugs me when I re-listen lol

Jenna

Hardwon had rolled a natural 20 in a previous episode. I think 2 episodes before this.

The year of the crit - but we forgot that hardwon was still cursed!

Annie

the ones who got crit was us! T.T

Thimo Trommer

Yeah just giving this a relisten the "year of the crit." is pretty sad/funny in hindsight.

Bandanno

Hindsight makes that "2020 best year of our lives" comment preeeetty funny 😂

nonya bizness

this is exactly what I’m doing hahaha, wondering the exact same thing!

Jenna

Us* :(

Lisquander

'2020 Year of the Crit" but the monkeys paw here is that it's a Crit against

Lisquander

Frozen hearts

I WASN'T READY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 EVERYONE IS BACK

Noah Strang-Ruchty

I was F*CKING NOT expecting Zach back 😭😭😭

Noah Strang-Ruchty

How dare that Tarrasque lay an undead tooth on Bev!! Oh man.

Jannell

I'm re-listening to all the episodes. Just got to episode 82 and Jake rolls a nat 20 on a Con save. Surely that roll should of been a 1 and not the Bev saving nat 20??? Or am I just really hoping Bev isn't dead lol

Brian you're grounded, go to your room

Matthew Tyler Helm

I screamed when Zac showed up, then again for Siobhan. Then Murph took away all of my happiness forever. This one had a lot of ups and downs, is what I'm saying.

Pensulliwen

MURPH YOU MONSTER

Jenny T

I like how Apple says she lifts Beverly up to give the help action rather than how Moonshine just says "help action". It makes the story a lot more emersive

The Plum

Duuuuuuude what a twist what a surprise in the middle wowzers wow :D

Debra Wasson

The ending of this episode had me screaming no outloud! Jesus such a tight episode

Johan Gidlöf

It may have just been my podcast player but my episode was missing the last half hour? It just cut off in the middle of the fight

Austin Trammell

Will Ryan the Ram come in to save them all???

Daniel Soto

i need the short rest... we got to discuss this cliff hanger

Jonathan A Backhus

Oh gawd a terrasque. Wtf Murphy Jesus. Caldwell pls just get some loaded dice for next session thanks. Bev has to survive or this is going to be painful 😣

D'ran Dana

The minute I heard the Tarrasque my jaw dropped, that monster is truly a party killer. Daddy Murph you picked the best the Monster Manuel has to offer. I look forward to the rest of the fight, god speed Band of Boobs! Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat!

Christopher Barth

Hey quick question Brian what the fuck

Peter Mundell

NO OUR SWEET BABY BOY!

Why in the actual fuck did you have to do this to me

How could you do this to us? I was so excited for Mavris and Apple and then you go and do this. Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat.

I’m so happy about this entire episode. Pure gamer goodness!

Truly truly a thicc sode. Love that there’s some stakes.

Maxwell Cornwell

this was brilliant but i cordially invite murph to eat my entire ass

Hey Brian? What the fuck?

He’s actually going to be reincarnated as the Terasque

Good Guy Josh

Egg plant emoji to this episode.

Sand Panda

Rule lawyer time : - Since Cooter didn't play the first round, didn't he have an action ready to heal anyone who fell down? - Could the pirates be used to give help actions to people who can actually hope to hit the Tarrasque, by distracting it at key moments?

Garga Lenoir

He's still mad about the #StrongCaldwell incident

Garga Lenoir

Hardwon : I GOT A ONE! Tonathan TInkle : Make that an 18.

Garga Lenoir

if young bev dies, we riot at dawn

If Bev dies I'm hoping he finds himself in the afterlife to a familiar "hey Slim"

Thomas Friedlander

*this is ridiculous*

He made a bunch of attacks! Even crit oncr

Kestrel

So sorry to ruin it for you, but draconic bloodline sorcerers do not have Revivify

Kestrel

I am trying to calm down by convincing myself that Zack has revivify stocked.

Ricarda Wullenkord

I've heard of cliffhangers, but this is ridiculous.

Patrick C McAuliffe

Murph, you deserve to reread all the Sonic Adventure Handbooks by yourself after this

#wherewasbalnor Was Balnor fighting? Or because the rounds were so long did I just miss it?

Little one

The war council aspect of this episode was so interesting to me because realistically the band of boobs should have separated because Bev is immune to poison and disease he should’ve went to irondeep. Because moonshine can you do acid damage consistently she should be at frostwind. And hard one can’t be counter spelled so it makes sense for him to go to fight the works in hell home. Listening I thought you guys were going to iron deep, but frostwind was super cool too You guys probably already recorded but moonshine focus on acid damage

Good Guy Josh

This was epic but I should not have gotten drunk while listening I got way to into it. I was so worried about all the characters that would die of the band of boobs didn’t save the day. And now I’m so worried for Beverly. And Cooter. Was anybody else super hyped when moonshine said that she was doing acid damage with her spores

Good Guy Josh

I goddamn hatelove this podcast.

Murph.... you son of a bitch.

Connor Proudfoot

That cursed nat20... the dice is sentient i'm afraid BUT MURPH, #STRONGCALDWELLTHEORY

Yura

Epic!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Ok Brian I am literally pissed! How dare you! I'm so damn stressed! Aaahhhhhh!

RJ Schoeneck

OMGGGGG YOU GUYS GOT MAVRIS AAAAAAA

Wtf murph.

WOW MURPH

Diana

Murph, you beautiful monster

Gloria Han

Murph hates Caldwell theory confirmed

Fighting Favorites - The Favorite Things Podcast!

I never, in my wildest dreams, would have thought a comedy D&D podcast would have me so emotionally invested in its characters!! It has been a wild ride and I truly cannot wait for what is coming next.

Penny Garbo

Question for fellow naddpoles- If Bev dies next ep, do we think Murph will let him be reincarnated? In Hardwons case Melora said she could do it because his vampiric death was “unnatural” ... IM SO STRESSED I DONT WANT TO LOSE OUR BABY BOY

Cakesan

Anyone else kept hearing the avengers music when they were on the wall getting ready?

Israel Solis

That's what I'm hoping for! Like his owl comes with Spare The Dying like it did against the Watcher!

Liz Ruifrok

Tonathan Tinkle will come rescue Bev

INFINITE

That was my mood until everything went wrong

Elysium Ervin

I hate my Murphday.

Jeff Davis

Love the surprise guest stars and love/hate the ending (Murph you madman)

Now we have to wait a week before we know what happens *cries*

What an emotional roller coaster. I just can't... How dare you guys make me feel so many feels...

YOU MONSTER MURPH

Liz Ruifrok

They need to be more strategic. They've got so much to work with.

Justin Harris

Truly an epic episode. Fuck, I'm so upset tho.

Jacob Bowen

It’s our murphday Now, eat your murphday cake

The Master

Brian, you ruined my Thursday.

Such an amazing episode! Forgot about the curse and the Nat 1 - such a poetic way for it to come back, can’t wait for the next one!!

Camara Fairweather

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MURPH!

Nikki Lynn

Murph WTF are you doing man, that is gonna give me serious anxiety issues till next week!

Ricarda Wullenkord

BRIAN WHY

BRIAN

Crits

The 20 seconds where they say the phrase “eat my ass!” like 10 times is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

All Pulp! No Juice!

This is some avengers level shit!

GREYFOX!!!!!

Such a great thicc ‘sode!!!

Sara Murphy

YO MURPH! WTF MAN!

Amy Driver

Just watch Bev come back as a goliath, taller and beefier than Hardwon.

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Sam Johnston

I cannot wait until next week. What the hell. I am on the edge of my EVERYTHING

Anthony Cinca

JayForce

Has the BoB completely forgotten about their Shadowfell and Feywild allies?

Jomalar

Michael McDougall

MURPH WHY but also thank you for everything. I’m gonna cry

Miriam Yifrach

Oooooh what a lovely surprise!

David Swann

Omg I’m dying most brutal cliffhanger ever 😭 love you guys happy new year!

Taylor Nagy

At 33 minutes: Moonshine: mentions Mavrus. Me: Zac isn't in this episode, he's not in the episode summary. *Zac starts speaking* Me: what is going on? At 40 minutes: Murph mentions Apple Scrumpers. Me: what the fuck is going on?!

Dave Johnson

I’m truly losing my mind

Kestrel

.... I’m literally speechless I can’t like what just happened. Oh my Pelor I thought I was ready but NOPE I didn’t think my heart could break anymore.

Emily

SIOBAAAAN!

Austin Hendry

ZAAAAC!

Austin Hendry

happy new year??? exTREMELY SPICY ENDING

Jamie Advincula

I can't. That ending. 😭

Josh Hoffman

It's going to be so weird here in Caldwell do Balnor's voice from now on.

Charlie Karls

I feel like if NADDPOD was a play, Cooter would be the narrator.

Myka Donati

Whelp, time to cook up a new reincarnate table.

Nate Zabinski

Hi Murph, one quick question. Why you gotta do me like this?

Andrew Estrada

This. Exactly this.

Kieran Wade

Thanks for keeping it a surprise!

Jeff Davis

Woah. Such a rollercoaster of emotions listening to this ... can't wait for next week!

Amy Birch

Murph, Emily, Caldwell, Jake- thanks for all that you do. The content you create brings me joy, making me look forward to each week.

Muuuuuuuuurrrrrph!

Miss Ter Cole

Murph why?!

Elysium Ervin

No no no oh god no I'm scared now

Geraint

Happy New Year! This episode made me feel the full range of emotions so I guess we're all starting off the new year right

Okay I was NOT expecting this many surprises, hell I even forgot it was coming out today but my jaw hit the floor so much.

This is already hilarious. “Rip those textbooks in half” 😂😂😂

I was like yo, and then I was like yoo, and then I was like yooooooooo

Leith H.
