Excelsidorks!

Can't wait! Been freaking out for a week😂😂

Ayala

LETS GO

Sven the Scribe

Damn the sound design on that fight. Kudos to Taylor - and I haven't even hit whatever the extra work at the end is.

Josh Lynas

WWW Tuesdays are the best.

Sven the Scribe

Hot damn! The soundwork at the end! Well worth the wait! (Also Brennan's descriptions and story!)

Sven the Scribe

Also the title choice! *Chef's Kiss* Ok, ok I'll stop gushing for now... for now....

Sarah Lunow

Oh wow, the sound design just gets better and better. Also thank the gods that Eursulon got away right away I was going to have a heart attack

Morgan Longmore

Could we get the stat blocks of the magic items we see this episode?

Kahos Alpha

The footstep effects were killing me this episode

Cadmaris

ahhhhh how am I supposed to wait two weeks for the next one!!!

worldsbeyondnumber

Hmm I might know someone who could help out with that. Let me get back to you ;)

okiedokie

Oh damn. Just finished the episode, so amazing! Probably some of the best sound design of any of the episodes so far, except maybe when the dark visitor came to Ame

Clairodactyl

Hi thank you for this amazing show I love it a lot thanks

Sophie

Wowowowowow AMAZING! Brennan’s fear/respect for the deep sea really coming through in this one

Quinty1984

Sound design so dope!

Mary

The description of Ame’s nausea and the awesome sound design of the scene where they were headed up to the apparatus made me so uneasy I genuinely got nauseous. This is a sincere compliment, I love when a story is so good it actually physically fucks me up

TeacupTheBopcaJournalist

There is a google form link in the previous updates that you can use. Hope this helps!

TeacupTheBopcaJournalist

I’m not okay in the best way, and also wtf?!?!?! WHAT DID YOU CATCH?!???! WHAT IS THE CATCH?!!?!?! I’m fine.

Quinn

Pain's explanation of what happened in his study is one of the funniest things that has happened so far on the pod 😂

emjaybee_3

Loved the episode! Couple of times where sound effects were so high in the mix it made it difficult to hear dialogue, though.

Sven the Scribe

Someone even worse at lies and cover stories than the party.

Trey Lord

My favorite thing about 4e was they handwaved away sizes of magical items. Any magic item you found would become the correct size for you after attunement. But Eursulon ripping jackets is certainly funnier

abardnamedkate

The effects of the magical items for players to gain attunement was something I had never thought of incorporating and felt inspired. It might just be flavor for the effects of the items, but it made the magic feels SO much more real and tangible with that bit of added detail. 10/10 going to use this for my own home game. Also, the role play and sound design for this episode was so good I found myself holding my breath multiple time, 😁.

Brad

These past two weeks waiting for this episode has been painful! It kept me super excited for WWW Tuesdays, constantly wondering if this character is gonna get blasted by a level 5 lightning bolt 😂. I do wish they could come more often, or have a bit more length to them though. I'll take what I can get, and this show has me enthralled more than any other out there, but an hour and a half biweekly always leaves me wanting more. Y'all are truly masters of storytelling.

Sven the Scribe

It's great because it means the items have... consequences!

Maggie M

It has to be the gentle water spirit, right? Right?!

Sarah Sutton

I have so much anxiety thinking about next episode opening with Eursulon having a full righteous meltdown while on a 30x30 metal platform 160 feet in the air!

Maggie M

The perfect platform to shove a mad mage off from down into the very spirit that is being trapped.

Sarah Sutton

Also, can someone please help me out with an illustration of a giant bioluminescent lionfish sea cucumber nautilus thing?

Callum McAlpine

Erika is going to have a lot of fun with jacked Ame

Riley Crowder

I am so excited for the next episode where Ame and Suuvie get in a massive fight about what the discovered and what to do about it.

Jeffrey H.

Erika/Ame gave me major Buff Shaggy vibes! Loved the attunement of the rings and that whole sickness mechanic as well

VeritaAmore87

Ok first of all the sound design on this episode is incredible and THE CLIFFHANGER MAH GAWD!

1man2hands

I would just like to say fuck lionfish but also fuck the empire

Kai Calvert

As someone with ADHD it’s really funny to me that the Scout’s ring is just magical Adderall

Crits

I had the exact same thought lol

Sophie

SAME

cricket

I remembered thinking that and i was hoping they'd play it up like "This new power... i feel... like playing Stardew Valley for 12 hours..."

RoseWitch

Uh, what is the wizard equivalent of "the dwarves dug too deep"? Like the wizards magic-ed too hard? Whatever it is, it applies here!

Mike Garcia

I without question, love the main show more than any other podcast I listen to but I honestly look forward to hearing fireside chats... More somehow. ♥️

Tyler Merlino

Wow! Fantastic episode! Taylor did such an amazing job in the last half-hour with scoring and sound effects, it really felt like I was transported there. Gave me chills!

Jack M

Oh yes we are into the Taylor Moore editing out announced rolls to make the audio combat flow smoother parts of the show, let’s go

Strange Universe

"Do you really want to see a fox with abs?" All the furries... >.> <.<

Joe Helfrich

Anyone else getting Episode 7 in their podcast app, even though all the meta data (duration, name, etc) is for Ep 8?

Faith Price

I was hanging on every single word for that last scene, my goodness

Vicander

I'm 5 minutes into it and DAMN Taylor, the sound mixing and design is amazing!!! The SFX for the spells great and so many more cool adjectives I can't think about right now. Your production is truly one of the best I've listened to in quite some time, congrats on such great job.

worldsbeyondnumber

Thank you so much! The reception to the ep has been terrific. All I can say is: there’s more where that came from ;)

s_m_i

“And then I cast magic missile on myself because I was frightened” thanks for this episode, needed it.

syftr

I was wondering why the episode took a bit longer to air but anyone who's listened to the last 20 minutes knows why. Massive kudos to the team for making *that* scene so incredible

Jack M

Listened to the ending as I was parked meat a church at 11:00, bells were tolling as Suvi said “what have you done” chills

CertainSign

All of these mages in port talon are the worst. They're BAD. Dumb. And I love them completely. I wish nothing but the best for these terrible men.

darkneverland87

We all know who/what Maro & those mages caught, right? And the reason the kudzoo is growing one could say angrily. 😯

darkneverland87

Though the dwarves dug too deep due to influence from Rings of Power, hard. agree. these mages done f*ed up

Andrew Gribat

If anyone has drawn an interpretation of the *spoiler* at the end of the episode, please link me to it!

R. Wesley Nipper

The sound design on this episode was *chilling*. Reminded me (I guess for obvious reasons) of playing Dishonored, just the incredible, nautical, industrial, cosmic unease. LOVE IT.

Sven the Scribe

I know it was a longer episode than usual so I understand the delay but fingers crossed we get the transcript soon.

mintyKHat

Summoning an Avanc, eh?

Kiera Faye

I was waaaaaaiting for this reveal!

Eric Pfannkuche

Shout out to the 2 crew on the first attack on the Fox honestly

Jonesey

Mercy is the edge Tilting your feet over air Will the warm wind rise

Ashley Teatum

AGAIN. The re-listen value 🤌🤌 hearing Morrow talk about wanting to "contribute something that mattered, that other...mages would see some merit in." Yeeeeeww.

Iryn

Urgh I wish there was a CW for tentacles and deep sea monsters plus the noises sounds are creepy Hope this story arc is going to be done soon

The Wizard Stream

On another relisten I truly forgot Guildmage Payne's indoor croquet story 😂😂

Dezzi

Relistening to this story after finishing book 1 and I had to pause here to Lou just a whole bouquet of flowers. I really relate to Eursalon's intense desire to do good and be heroic, but has constant fuck ups in his attempts. Because that's life. You try so hard to be good and sometimes you drink three whiskeys and can't negotiate with the crime boss. Sometimes you're careless and tell someone too much and get someone else in trouble Sometimes you tell the guy you know that he's in debt to Will Gallows and the man attacks you, shuts the door and burns the evidence. That's life. You relax too much at the wrong time, you're lulled into a false sense of security by a simple question, not everyone acts with integrity when you give them the chance. And spoiler alert for the end of book one, sometimes you put your trust in the wrong person because they presented their best face and you didn't question their motives. But the attempt to do good and the ability to keep trying to figure out how to do that in a world as imperfect as Umora is really admirable. I respect Lou for allowing Eursalon to fail, because I forgot that he failed so much this early on! He comes into his own soooo much by the end of book 1! It just gives me hope and inspires me in a way that wouldn't have landed if he had been a perfect guy who never made mistakes from the beginning. Thank you for telling Eursalon's story, Lou Wilson. And thanks for setting it up so he could knock it down so well, Brennan! 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 (edited to add more flowers because there's 12 in a bouquet)
