come have all the feels in sync with us! I suspect we'll be doing a real-life variation on all of London Doing A Scream soon enough
Chekhov
I just got caught up, and what a place to do it! Excellent tension all around!
Bonnie Calderwood Aspinwall
"Helen he planned for us to live." 😂
Caelan Jon
I have finally caught up to the recent episode. And yes, I have listened to the entire Podcast in just over a month... I don't wanna examine what that says about me. Instead I wanna focus what that says about the Podcast: It's really freaking brilliant. And I am very happy to experience the final episodes when they air, with the anxious waiting each week : ) Thanks for making such an awesome Podcast!

WILDE MY BELOVED

Back in the days of the RQ official discord a bunch of people came to two separate conclusions of 70,000 and 100,000, was that you? Either way 9k isn't enough >: ( /lh

Wiggle time is actually an instinctual method to relieve stress.
Pip Walker
Much chanting of “please don’t die” during this episode
Lizzy_belle
Also if you want a fun soundtrack for it, listen to "Storming New Caprica" in the background
Lizzy_belle
I want Apophis to be the dragon equivalent of DH Molly Weasley; so so much
Cat Thompson
This is my emotional support Wilde and if he doesn't survive, neither will I.
Lillian Collea
Oh my goodness I need to catch my breath after that! This one really is for all the marbles!!!!!!
Space Modulator
gnAAngnAAngnAAngnAAAngn But in a good way.
rowanoak
This episode has everything! Marbles, BIG AZU, apophis ex machina a deux courtesy of wilde, hamid flying INTO the flames, just… wow I’m full of so much adrenaline thank you ❤️🔥
NoyneKehmaya
I don't really know if it's character growth or "just" his dragon heritage kicking in =/ Either way, his dive into the fire was unbelievably good ❤️
Marie
This episode was SO GOOD!!! I was so stressed at the beginning but then I cheered out loud like four times throughout the episode. I need to listen again.
Marie
There is going to be an epilogue! But even if there weren't, I don't think they would end the show on a bang without any resolution. That's just not good storytelling, apart from anything else.
Z Donovan
After some math the 50 gp worth of marbles in pathfinder should be between 100 and 120 thousand marbles.
northerniodine
hamid is so brave, bless him. the line about diving into the fire really sums up his character growth. hang on, little buddy!!!!
sAZAndorable
This was so much! What a rollercoaster, very giddy-inducing indeed :D Absolutely loving the nervous wiggly squeaking energy from the players in this episode, all the whimpery prayers and words of encouragement... not what I expected from the endgame energy, but it helps. It helps. I won't even be mad if someone dies, because this episode truly gave us and the players and characters what they wanted, huh. Also THE MARBLES <3 <3 <3
Kit Maclaurin
Sitting at my desk I’m horrified awe, post it notes keeping track of everything— With just a few more rounds to go it’s dragons all the way down!
NoyneKehmaya
He really is!! I'm so glad that Zolf was able to bring him back a second time ... I wanted to see him do something a-ma-zing and he definitely didn't disappoint ❤️❤️❤️
Grif Stian
OH
Grif Stian
So I’ve hit the break and am chanting a certain swear word because I do not trust dargons
TheCyanStar
oh gosh now THAT was a good nat 20!
Kevin Fry
Until the battle is over, i am just going to have the sound of Ben and Tim doing that tension train chant going through my head the whole time and it is not helping my stress levels.
GK
Wilde: the goodest boy.
Ollie of the Beholder
You know, when TMA was in its last few episodes, I at one point commented "That which does not kill me only makes me more terrified about next week's episode" and that feels kind of appropriate here... Seriously, I am loving every minute of this and I cannot WAIT to see what our heroes do next. (Also, holy hell, best place for a nat-20 EVER.)
elizabeth p.
eta: not what I expected, but oh my what is that up in the sky?? :D :D
Obsessed
I can't believe there are only 3 episodes left.... I'm terrified the campaign is gonna end on a big scary bang and we won't have an epilogue (maybe there's one planned, I just don't know and I'm scared to think about it lmao)
PratchettWitch
I want to scream this is so GOOD
moth
Divine Duplicated Dragon Devilry! This episode was incredible, I can't believe the marbles finally made their reappearance. You could say it was an absolutely marble-ous move on Azu's part
Rebecca F
what an incredible episode! i can't wait to be absolutely convinced my boy makes it
Julia Robins
Was so worth being exhausted tomorrow. ❤️
NoyneKehmaya
WOAH!! This was soooo amazing!! And Alex did the exact same thing I hoped he would let Wilde do and I'm SO happy!! =D He did it before and he did it again!! It was so exciting!! And Azu was just the sweetest pie, as she always is!! Love her so much ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for this incredible episode!!
elizabeth p.
I have been waiting for the cavalry (aka the Vengeance) to show up since this all started... will this be the episode Earhart rides again?
Claire Voss
I'm dyin' of laughter.... "it's not loud, loud, loud! it's not 10,000" omg... bwhahaha
LainyJP
I want to cancel my meeting to listen.....I won't, but I so want to 😬
Julia Robins
It's 3am I need to sleep... But I know I'm about to listen intently and unable to sleep till I know...
