Thanks for posting while I’m driving to work! Finally something good to listen to.

Andrew Niedbala

Calder has a bad dream!! Hopefully not too bad…

Anyone know why I can't download the episodes? I usually download them so I don't have to be online to listen but the download isnt there for me anymore.

Its_Ven

i love trinyvale but u cannot, u cannot end the arc like this. murphhh come back 😭😭😭

Kidtruck91

The beginning of this has big short rest energy.

Amit Khandhadia

Man of course it would be Jake who experiences the first *insert spoiler here* in Naddpod history.

Drysax

Fun fact: murph once had to walk 50 miles because he lost a rock-paper-scissors “contest”

atlasrising

Literally only 5 mins in and listening to the recap and struck by the unintentional irony of Calder being terrified of puppets while the looming threat of Giant Daddy in his helm trying to puppet his literal meatsack is so real

Alice A

Same, I usually download directly but no file link. I've just put the rss into a podcast app and it's downloading through that fine though.

Alan Ma

Holy shit one of the thickest sodes in sode history

Michelle Spurgeon

This whole episode had me screaming what the fuck every 10 seconds. Omg you guys!!!!

Jonny Pray

Excellent sode. Mega salty we have to sit on such a cliffhanger.

happylinlin00

good lord i'm nearing the end of the episode and idk how much more can happen in the next 5min, but my god this ep was A Lot to listen to first thing in the morning lmao incredible turn of events and character choices, i cant wait to see how everything progresses from here!

Luke Shealy

Based on how they opened the ep, I knew the energy was going to be crazy. Good Ep.

tacticalgrandma

Don’t want to spoil this thick, thick sode so will just ask the question I had earliest in the episode: is there overlap between Glen’s elven pornography and Jens’s?

Elizabeth Harris

My Melora, just when I think the 2 crew can’t get better, they do. Also the music choice at the end had me!

Tyler Nedzi

In the words of Emily Axford “Fia Boginya thinks Brian Murphy is a sick fuck.” great ep lol

Quentin Jackson

Glenn’s pornography is tasteful and not at all embarrassing, Jen’s porn brings Shame upon himself and all who see it.

YourAnimeDad

This sode just ticked every one of my storytelling needs and I gotta say my favorite part is how genuinely they emote throughout! Such a truly thicc sode. So much happens

Kaileigh Rose

Such a good episode. God bless wfh because this episode had me yelling and crying. 🤯

Megan

OH MAN! This episode was SO STRESSFUL! I couldn't work by the end of it and was just listening ahhhhh!! 😭

Chloe Peifly

that’s the energy this episode reminded me of! except back then, they were high energy “HOW DARE YOU” and now they’re all like “*sigh* i guess we’ll record a short rest” same amount of murph glee though

Mr. Dude Sky

Jack Farley

Fucking insane ep, can’t wait to see where you go from here

Fia (but not Boginya)

Murph, my god, that was such a good trap, but like, the fuck dude?

Bonky Fiasco

Cooter is a hero through and through. ❤️

Ben Beckwith

aiyana graham art

Pearl of a Girl Nursery

You know Jake’s gonna try to come back as 200-year-old Hardwon Surefoot

Joshua Qualls

I mean, is this is the thickest sode since C1 finale??

Mythic_Robyn

Your gonna just leave it on that? For thee weeks? Come on, I need answers, I need people to kick ass and rescue friends... at least its 3 weeks with the triplets.

k.allen

Dang Dice Christ was going off for this episode. He just said NOPE this is my story now

Meapyboy1234567

NOOOOOOOOOOO IM DOUBLE SAD NOW because i just caught up i just watched everything on the main feed and that kind of made me sad AND NOW THIS EPISODE HAPPENED WHY CALDER WWWWHHHHYYYYY

Tammie Foster

How are we gonna get Jake back this time 😩😩😩

Julia A.

Downloading via Patreon itself is hit or miss for me too. Using the RSS link is more reliable.

Holy crap

Christopher Lasasso

Not to beat the dead horse but Glen's fascination with Moonshine from the stuff found in Cooter's stump really wonderfully captures his journey as a tragic and dark mirror of hers in C1. The contempt for his father felt resonant with some of the tensions that emerged with Moonshine and her father, but once again Crick hospitality and her growth post-Marabelle deepened her sense of what a family is and can be. Caldwell/Sol was spot on with that point that Glen is hollow, empty. Ironically his desire to forcibly seize the legacy of Atrioc, Moonshine, etc. will be quite upended if we end up learning that one of the people he manipulated the most and who made a choice to be with him was a descendant of Atrioc (Caly re: her mother's crest on Atrioc's). That Glen consistently refuses to see himself as relational because the idea that being reliant on others exposes his own weaknesses despite Moonshine coming into herself by embracing always the beauty and flaws in what it means to live in relation to others is honestly such phenomenal character storytelling. Idk y'all I just really love C3 and I didn't think I would because I felt C2 ended with so many more stories to tell. But I'm so excited for the next arc...

Reese Page

These episodes are getting chunky

jb

I pictured the elven maiden’s chin having a hint of stubble, and in the corner, illegibly scrawled, the name ‘H. Surefoot’.

UsedCigEater

Jake said he would let ultres go if he didn't hurt his friends but murph though he was giving up his body and Jake rolled with it

Omar Mtz

😭😭😭🥀🥀🥀🥀

Justin Mitchell

"[...] And Calder has a bad dream." J. F. C!! Understatement of the fucking campaign!! 😭🥶😭

Vilaykham Sukhaseum

Nooo! Can't even savor Glen becoming a sweaty pathetic little man 😭😭😭

Garrett Muir

Oh my god, what an ep. Absolutely amazing job

Hailee Henson

Joined the patreon for this one folks. Now I can finally do this 🌹 🌹 💐 🥀 🌹 💐 🌹 🌹

Rachel From Animorphs

I tried to listen to the episode, but I just kept wondering what the DMs name was.

Chris Skipper

My only question is how many levels does Cooter get?

Carri Miller

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…….

Jess D.

Masterful episode, I am crying

Polina Milashevskaya

Wow what an episode… and actually I was just thinking if Murph kind of planned this turn or events and it was great to hear that he thought it will be just like a wrap-up for the arch and then the things happened the way they did!

PineappleLiar

Went into a fugue state during this episode because THIS WEEK in my home game my character was in almost the exact same position as Calder. Where an extremely powerful bbeg was stuck in the character’s head, an egotistical secondary baddie does something that requires the player to release said bbeg from their mind, and the character has to sacrifice themselves (nonlethally) in order to save their friends. Granted in my case it was a vampire grandad and not an ancient giant king, but still the similarities were uncanny!

Adam Soandso

Well that was a lot more than I was ready for at the end of the night! *insert “I can’t believe you’ve done this” vine*

Eatarat

I’m an emotional wreck, this might be the best episode they’ve ever done. Flawless story telling and a masterclass performance by the Murph as his notes were all burning up in front of him to focus on the players, their characters, and how to truly collaborate at the table.

OGBlake

Okay ima say this felt super fucking railroady, Choo, Choo. My reasoning is After they fought a king you made them immediately go deal with the Puppet stuff and then immediately made them go deal with the Crick never giving a chance for a long rest even though they asked for it. Then they got forced into a surprise round Fight that opened with an over DC15 wisdom save ( thier worst trait as a party ). With multiple druids Having the eye bite spell to force Calder asleep. Like I understand that you wanted to get Glen the helm but come on. Again this is a fight that they got forced into by discovering Cooter on a Nat 20 insight check without being able to determine this was a trap after asking Explicitly? Finally where the fuck is bumpy, just ran to get help and never came, I know the rounds are short but idk man really good story but if liste n back I don't know how they could've avoided this.

Lilybet Gates

Me looking at this before listening and seeing a song called prodigal sister 👀

Zack Grunewald

I know this wasn’t how Murph saw things going; but this was absolutely a killer organic twist to the story. What happened to Calder is the kind of thing that normally is the backstory for a powerful NPC in a game. To get to actually have that happen to your character and play out the consequences? I’ve never been more jealous.

copperdragon

OMG THIS EP!!!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

copperdragon

I feel like for stuff like this it’s important that the eps are edited. They could’ve explored different paths or discussed things more, but the moments might’ve been ultimately cut to make a better narrative overall.

thedragonllama

This was such a cool way for the ep to go imho and I think will create such a complex ripple in the character's story. Also, when Cally became emotionless I thought she might turn into a Winter Eladrin on the spot, both reflecting her mother's more stoic demeaner as well as in response to Calder's wintery absence, Cally now in mourning for her friend. Looking forward to wherever this twist takes us.

Angie Goslin

Amazing episode-cannot wait to see how everything with Calder plays out eventually. What a beautiful and heart-wrenching series of events- really wonderful playing on everybody end.

xx

So good!!!!

Sawyer Smith

Thanks for naming a cool hot character after me! Haven’t finished the ep, but I assume nothing changes 👍

ananarama

Devastating but I’m so excited for the next arc of the campaign it’s gonna be awesome

Jonathan H.

This campaign is amazing. Well done Murph, well done all

Tyler Scowcroft

I guess Jake will have to play Dag Swaniels after all.

Matt Atkinson

The original theatre kids squeezing hands at the end 🥹

David Lipscomb

When I was in the Navy, during our deployment in 2011, Sugar Ray played a concert for us on our ship. It was truly amazing. Absolutely a great concert. I will remember this saying forever. Mark said, "I think this is the only concert we've ever done where every person in the band and the audience is stone cold sober."

Ian Hanson

Well it makes sense right? Cause Glenn would prepare every outcome and he's had multiple encounters with the party.

Reclaimer-087

Calder said he'd let Ultrus choose who he wanted to take over (Glen vs Calder) if he agreed not to harm Callie and Sol. With Calder being a half giant, Ultrus would absolutely want his body over an elf's.

Tyler Sharp

Is this the real reason you’re doing trinyvale episodes? So Murph can salvage the campaign after what happened? 😂

Micah Edmonds

It’s not often I call Murphs dm choices shady, but if Emily rolls three Crits in a row, I don’t care who you are - your character should no longer be confused.

Tyler Sharp

Murph outright said on the short rest that he intended for the group to not win the encounter, and for Glen to get the helm and then they’d leave. And even if they were “railroaded”, they still managed to make a play that ruined Murph’s immediate campaign notes, so I don’t know what you’re complaining about

OGBlake

I lost my charecter to an unwinable situation that was unavoidable despite rolling a nat 20 and asking specifically if it was a trap ( what was the point of the check? ), but heat least I did something my dm didn't plan for. . . . I'm upset because I like Calder and the gang and I don't like that they were forced into this position. I still really like the story and murph but I can't remember another time when it felt like they're good action didn't have good consequences.

Empersands

We finally saw a shaken Glenn… but at what cost….. On another note, can’t wait to meet Jake’s bake up character!

Gavin French

In the wise words of the people of Frostwind "Fuck you, I love you." Amazing ep!!

Austin Tanner

Absolutely insane I could feel emotional over a character named “Cooter”

Noah James Perito

I like to imagine the tasteful nude art was made by Hardwon

Alice S

I thought "oh I have to go grocery shopping I'll catch up on naddpod 😊" cut to me whiteknuckling a bag of lettuce in the produce aisle What a great episode!

Tyler Sharp

I know Jake won’t, but I hope he plays a wizard. The least simple class but I have faith in Jake

Sawyer

I will never get used to hearing my name in these episodes

Katie P.

Incredible episode, guys!

Jen Smells Peaches

I'm sure this isn't the first time I've burst into tears during a NADDPOD ep, but man.... (Near the end, when you're trying to apply a potion to.........someone. I'm not spoiling anything.)

chance isaac

I get story comes first, but geez the railroading made this episode a lot harder to enjoy imo. Nat20’s not discovering a trap, surprise rounds, sleep spells and confusion spells. Plus they couldn’t sleep even when they asked. Just way too much.

Tacotrashcan

It’s because he’s a great man.

Annie

Nah

Steve Antony

Hey there! I'm finally catching up with the eps. I've been listening since the first campaign but this is my first time ever commenting. Though I am quite sad, I just gotta say that I honestly loved the direction this went! This feels like it's mirroring the Hardwon vampire arc but on a much grander scale. Let's be real, it's so like Jake to have his character make the sacrifice play that I kinda saw this coming. I really hope this leads into the crew trying to rescue Calder because I feel like the payoff is going to be amazing! We can't have a happy ending all the time, folks, the lower the lows then the higher the highs and all that. Don't listen to the people calling this "railroady", I didn't think it felt like that at all. Keep up the good work you guys! Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat.

AstraHorn

Caldwells Manic Crazy HA! Is like Beatrixes crazy laugh HA! and it gives me so much serotonin

Tristan Khan

Okay I hope you found a new show in the mean time 👋

T. Gideon P.

I'm responding because I felt the same the first time I listened to the ep, and that felt kinda bad. On relisten, I've changed my mind, and would like to share why. A nat 20 perception getting the answer "the voice is not a fake voice" is buttoned up. Surprise rounds are as well: as long as their enemies rolled stealth higher than the PC's passive perceptions (which is not impossible), that's how that works. Not being able to sleep due to a narrow window of time is also legit. The spells also seem fair. This is not railroading, this is Murph being on the harsh side of following the rules, rather than on the forgiving side of following the rules. We all like to joke about him being a rules lawyer, but normally he's pretty forgiving in what he allows, he just talks like he's a hardass. Now, when things got serious, he actually was a bit of a hardass. But it's all within the rules, and storywise the enemies had time to prepare their trap.

Nova

I really like this turn for Glenn. Could be a very interesting start of a redemption arc for him.

KSM101

I have to say I've been relistening an catching up since November. But Jakes growth as a DnD player really shines through an man he made learning easier with all his questions all the time I fucking love it

Summer Tribe

arguably druid is the least simple, if only because it seems to have less clearly written spells (plant growth and conjure animals for example)

Lana Kole

OK, I was just waiting for the next long rest because I just KNEWWW it was gonna be the time that Calder rolled low enough to fail his saves against Ultrus, but the fact that it happened in the heat of the battle is just chefs kiss like really such a Jake move to sacrifice himself, I felt so many emotions during this episode! super well done, loved it.

Rigbyourself

Eloise was using 3 concentration spellsss. Confusion, Eyebite, and polymorph.. Callie would have had her full turn to get them both safe/up and Sol would have had his turn as well. MURPPHHH YOU ARE MURDERING THEM!

Austin Wiggin

This is an amazing episode and the cast gets really sad.But it is the punishment that a lot of hardcore players are looking for not that I'm necessarily one of them, but the consequences happen.And it's an epic conclusion

Sean Boyle

What happened to Murph, Emily, Jake, and Caldwell during this episode? Inexplicably they aren't even in it and I've gotta listen to an episode with Brandon Morphy, Emily Assford, Jake Hunkwitz, And Corebad Tourniquet? I mean they did a good job but I've gor a connection to the regular cast you know? It's weird to hear complete strangers doing an episode out of nowhere. You'd think at least one of the main cast would have been in it but no. Really weird choice. But episode was good.

wick

Glenn studying the courts…

Nathan Reeve

That Nat 20 check too in hindsight feels like they should have got an indication something was wrong with Cooter.

Matt Gustavson

Your point about the king and then the puppets etc etc, do you truly expect once someone kills a king for the kingdom to be alright?

Camilla Jefferson

rarely does a comment add so much to an episode, but this… hell yeah

zarratm

Really really EXCELLENT episode, but I am extremelyyyyy angry at Callie for saving Glenn (I am not mad at Queen Emily for making a character decision). Like girl stand up, he tortured a snake and killed your best friend! He wont pay u back. Just seems like a regression.

Tim G

Callie not letting Glen die is so dumb.

Spades Pendragon

Murph I will never forgive you for trying to kill cooter!!!!

Oscar the Salad Czar

I heard that chuckle from jake after caldwell said "there's more than one way to brainwash a cooter."

Parker

One of my favorite episodes ever. I loved when naddpod gets super serious out of nowhere

Compound27
