ALEX REALLY WANTED TO GET IN ONE LAST HE'S A MONSTER BUT WE RESPECT HIS CRAFT WITH THAT ENDING, HUH? i swear, if anything happens to my emotional support sad sea dad and emotional support flamboyant bard, i will be on the first train to london to flood rusty towers with my tears

Antagonistic Cas

... there's more than a week. Until we find out what happens. I hate this. 🙂🙂🙂

mick walters

and now we need to wait 8 days??? noo.. 😣

Yamikakyuu

*lays down curled in a ball*

Medilia

Well. That was ... an episode. The wait until next week will be awful

Zoe Palmer

I need it to be next week right now that was incredible and I cannot do this

Ivy cat is the best cat

Fireball! And I really want to know what happened with Wilde, but what a blaze of glory ending to this episode.

Julia Robins

I'm not ok... How am I supposed to get anything done waiting for next week now? It's 4am and I've got work in the morning but I'm not sure I can sleep!

Ollie of the Beholder

I say this with all the love in my heart: I hate you all so [redacted] much.

Ollie of the Beholder

...Is next week's episode going to be the same length(ish) as usual or a litlle/a lot longer? I have therapy on Wednesdays starting an hour after drop and I am not going to want to stop listening in the middle, so I'd kind of like to know in advance if I can listen to the whole thing before I go in or if I should wait until I get done.

Dorian

sobbing 'but we respect his craft' over and over until it summons alex and i can ask him why

elizabeth p.

GOD F***ING DAMNIT ALEXANDER JALEXANDER NALEXANDER!!! *grumbles* but we respect his craft *grumbles*

sandra

My internal monologue will be [keyboard smash] for 8 full days. Gimme the episode just. Gimme. It

lare

im so stressed i just 😭

Grey Fry

ALEXANDER JAMES JOSEPH JACOBY NEWELL HOW DARE YOU.

GK

I would like to quietly request this on a T-shirt, because it’s the biggest mood and best representation of this episode (and the whole show, really).

Noell S.

Right, so I won't be breathing for a week.

NoyneKehmaya

Just wrote to a friend: "This!! This was one of the WORST moments to end an episode ... *THE WOOOORST!!*" and I strongly believe that 😩😭 Wilde, I believe in you!! Please, don't do anything stupid!! I almost cried and I don't want to do that next week ...

NoyneKehmaya

Feel you!! Did the same thing at work a couple of minutes ago 😩

Freya

The emotional whiplash of that ending followed by those bloopers... I'm not sure how to feel but I definitely feel a lot!

Kit Maclaurin

Oh this episode is fascinating and edited really well— I am extremely curious about how events lined up to have the blend of roleplay and dramatic tension work so well. Narratively, I hope Wilde is awake and still flying to keep zolf and the array from plummeting because YIKES. How many towers in London is Rusty Towers going to destroy in their podcasts??

Rebecca F

oh ok i will just lie here on the ground until dec 1

Space Modulator

Curled up into a ball, respecting his craft.

Perry

Idk what kind of achievement this is but I got out a full body 15 sec long scream at the end of the episode before getting out of my car and walking into class. I need to lay down for a bit lmao this one was a doosey

Grif Stian

Oh, so Wilde is super dead, right?

Lillian Collea

I have lots of concerns! Just a wee bit stressed! What spells can bards cast? What level is Wilde? What happens if Babbage dies? Are Ed and Carter okay? WHAT ABOUT ZOLF AND WILDE’S NICE VACATION PLANS??

Lillian Collea

Does Wilde mean “we” as in the rest of the party, excluding Zolf? Or “we” as in him and Zolf?? I shall now analyze every word of this entire episode.

Lark

Alexander, I hope you can hear my wailing across the ocean. Also: You have not truly experienced an earthquake until you have experienced a 6.0 in California while sleeping on a waterbed with a kitten on your chest.

Evie

I'm adding my tears.... the tension >.<

sAZAndorable

GOSH. What a fantastic episode. So many good moments, either badass or nail-biting, such amazing energy from everyone, and the dice know... the dice know... it's just so fun seeing all the running gags finally happen in the extended finale! Congrats Lydia and Helen on finally beating the dice (in very different ways.) and congrats Ben and Bryn in getting to show off so many new unique feats and spells! It's going to be a lot saying goodbye to this show and no longer having new episodes to look forward to, but it will have gone out gloriously. No matter what happens next week exactly, it'll all have been an amazing ride and a final stop with fireworks (that spell out "Wilde Is Fine"). This finale has been fantastic, feels fittingly epic (I keep getting LotR vibes!!!) and tense but remains so, so fun. I'm so happy that the penultimate episode, too, ended in an "ALEXANDER!!!!!!!!!" cliffhanger. Thanks, guys, and see you next week! I'd put in a crying salute meme, but I'm not crying yet, just grinning and hitting play again.

NoyneKehmaya

Wilde said the same thing after Zolf brought him back the first time, when they were talking about what happend ... and I really, REALLY hope they get their vacation Óò

SpaceFeather

I realized I should have waited to listen to this episode until next week. I don’t know what to do for 8 days now…this was SUCH a cliff hanger! … *goes to try and rearrange work schedule to have off for the release next week*

AJ Codling-Martinez

Brb going back to COUNT HOW MANY ROUNDS THAT WAS BEFORE THAT ENDING Thank you all for a wonderful show and a wonderful episode ❤❤❤

Kristin Urbanski

You’re telling me we have to wait eight days after that ending? Also, I loved how delighted Alex got describing how Einstein came to at minute 36.

Marie

I am not ok.

bramblepaws

so unbelievably distracted by how wild alex's story was in the bloopers that i've already forgotten what happened in the episode. out of the way possible tpk, this is WAY more captivating--

Duck

Me at the end of the episode: I do NOT respect Alex’s craft. Horrible man. | Me in the bloopers: but maybe we respect something about him djfjdjdn

Jordan L. Hawk

The sound I made when Alex said "And we'll end here..."

rowanoak

YOU’VE GOT THIS 🥺😢😭🥰

Cat Thompson

This is my emotional support cast, if anything happens to them, I will absolutely perish

Marie

If Wilde doesn't make it out alive I may never recover.

Dakota Meredith

Welp time to go relisten to this entire (amazing!) fight before the finale

Sesharan

Friendly reminder that Wilde wasn’t on the roof when the last dragon breath hit. He still has his full Protection, besties. :)

Marie

I've forgotten all the details of the protection spells. I believe he has temporary hit points, but does he have enough even with those? He could have made a reflex save and taken half damage, but bards aren't the beefiest of classes. I'm clinging to hope though.

Sesharan

The Protection From Energy spell essentially negates 120 points of fire damage — exactly the amount Wilde would have taken. That spell is expended, but Wilde will have been completely untouched.

NoyneKehmaya

😍 thank you for that reminder!! I can start breathing again 😙

Marie

OMG thank you! I'd forgotten about Protection from Energy. Now I can breathe a little easier.

ontologicallyunjust

Anyone got a count of how many rounds the Babbage array has been active for? I've lost track. I know it had to be active for "about a minute" (so 10 rounds).

sAZAndorable

Forgot to say I'm crossing fingers in hope that we'll get to see what the map looked like during combat, either a screencap or perhaps if this episode was video recorded too... especially Bryn's Art or the Mines of Moria moment :DD

Rowan

Others have figured this out in different discords (so not my work, just sharing), iirc we're just in the beginning of round 6

ollie love

awh man … i’m finally caught up awh man awh mannnnnnn

Lark

Thanks but no thanks. :(
