I’m so glad I had a busy week and only just listened, now only half a day of waiting for the next ep! Goodness so much happened. I love this podcast so so much
Amalie Kirstine
I haven't been this stressed out by a podcast since The Pop™️, so it sure has been a while and I blame all stress in my life entirely on RQG
Myra Prince
OH MT GOD MY HEART
Myra Prince
OH MY GOD SICKENED!!!!!

The distress and sorrow in Ben’s voice as the player sorting through what was happening, what he could try, and the chances of success really got me. Lydia, Helen, and Bryn readily express emotion on behalf of their characters and the situation, but Ben generally comes across as so unbothered by anything it really stood out.
Space Modulator
"I'm shanked" will now replace "I'm gutted" in the vernacular. So let it be role played, so let it be done.
MuddyHippy
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *takes breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Excellent episode guys, I reckon I will have calmed down enough by next week to see what happens!
Bryn
You are welcome
ontologicallyunjust
Yeah, thanks to Bryn for the EXTRA PAIN there, well-played sir.
Ll S
Just listened to the last two episodes. [insert blasphemy here.]
Jack Bird
My anxiety this whole episode was so high. I'm so worried about everyone
Marie
I just lost 15 years of my life. I need emotional support. Also I don't want to play anymore.
Ivy
I opened this app and saw the amount of comments, then the tags, and, oh my heart. I feel like we’ve just upped the tension and I will be feeling it until next week. (And I thought waiting for this episode was rough.) Anyway, thanks for the episode. I’m going to go scream now. Also, Hamid’s dream? How did this episode manage to make it hurt so much beyond the immediate tension and character deaths tag
Cat Thompson
I opted to cry the whole time rather than ride the rollercoaster of emotions.
Rogue Vigilante
Excuse me while I go scream at the clouds
Nix
I thought I was going to cry like, 4 times throughout that episode. Congratulations, you've peeled a few years off my lifespan.
Kristin Urbanski
Extremely stressful but amazing episode. Wow. Can’t wait to listen again now that I can breathe a little.
Kathryn Sowinski
All the suspense has me feeling sick(ened)
PratchettWitch
This was amazing I am very stressed but somehow enjoying it, cannot wait for next week
Pip Walker
Swore so loudly at certain points that my husband came to check that I hadn’t damaged myself while cooking. Good grief, that was a wild ride
Beth Willson
OKAY SO. GREAT episode, but. OMG. I made the mistake of listening to this episode while I was at the grocery store, and I full on had to pause it so I didn’t start actually crying in the store. I need to listen again, but OMFG. 😭
Perry
Hey uhhh besties?? WTF??
red

I'm literally shaking, that last 10 minutes is the most tense I've ever been
tashin42

HoloXam

MorteLise
Let the bodies hit the floor ._.
Grif Stian
I’m genuinely miffed that we’re never going to see Augusta Lee fight. I was so excited to see what the first quickly-downed boss was capable of.
james evelyn
I’ve been shaking. At my desk. FOR AN HOURRRRRRR. I WAS SO SCARED. OH MANNNNNNNNN
Lizzy_belle
OH GOD! we almost lost my son
El
Me: I have an anatomy exam today that I know is going to be very stressful, but at least I’ll be able to relax with RQG afterwards! RQG afterwards: “cw: character deaths”
moth
you're all cordially invited to the wedding of me and the love of my life, the condition sickened
Hearth of the Fae
Haven't listened yet but character deaths PLURAL??? Aaaaaaa this is gonna kill meee
Fitzlet
Now mildly calmer - that thing is designed to shank Zolf where it hurts, by shanking the people he cares about instead of him, in front of his face.
Cherie Hendrie
“I KNOW THERE IS TENSION BUT I DON’T UNDERSTAND” me about maths always
Cherie Hendrie
i’d like to thank my lord and saviour, “sickened”
elizabeth p.
jesustapdancingchrist. I thought I was gonna have a stroke listening to this episode
CrankyCorvid
... I need a nap and a large adult beverage after that. I think my soul left my body. Repeatedly.
moth
during the end of this episode, my entire soul felt like it was on a fourteen loop rollercoaster while "shanked through the heart, and alex is to blame, so many hearts he can maim" kept involuntarily playing on repeat in my head
Aiden Parziani
i am stressed OUT
Casper Muir
Every cell in my entire body tensed up throughout this episode, and I don't know how.
Freya
I have never been this stressed in my entire life!!!
Cherie Hendrie
the last ten minutes of this episode were the most tense of my life,, my hands were SHAKING
sAZAndorable
SHAKES MY FIST WHILE NOT BREATHING Looks we've got a new tagline for the show with "Numbers and emotions"
Fitzlet
AaaaaaaaAaaAaaaa
Grif Stian
Oh, I do not like that the warning is plural.
