2021-11-25 19:48:34 +0000 UTCOthers have figured this out in different discords (so not my work, just sharing), iirc we're just in the beginning of round 6
Rowan
2021-11-25 19:40:32 +0000 UTCForgot 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

2021-11-25 18:25:57 +0000 UTCAnyone 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).
ontologicallyunjust
2021-11-25 09:37:54 +0000 UTCOMG thank you! I'd forgotten about Protection from Energy. Now I can breathe a little easier.
Marie
2021-11-24 23:33:40 +0000 UTC😍 thank you for that reminder!! I can start breathing again 😙
NoyneKehmaya
2021-11-24 16:43:45 +0000 UTCMe neither 😭
NoyneKehmaya
2021-11-24 16:41:00 +0000 UTCThe 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.
Sesharan
2021-11-24 10:33:50 +0000 UTCI'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.
Marie
2021-11-24 07:19:45 +0000 UTCFriendly reminder that Wilde wasn’t on the roof when the last dragon breath hit. He still has his full Protection, besties. :)
Sesharan
2021-11-24 04:56:07 +0000 UTCWelp time to go relisten to this entire (amazing!) fight before the finale
Dakota Meredith
2021-11-24 04:30:09 +0000 UTCIf Wilde doesn't make it out alive I may never recover.
Marie
2021-11-24 02:32:44 +0000 UTCThis is my emotional support cast, if anything happens to them, I will absolutely perish
Cat Thompson
2021-11-24 02:28:26 +0000 UTCYOU’VE GOT THIS 🥺😢😭🥰
rowanoak
2021-11-24 01:56:35 +0000 UTCThe sound I made when Alex said "And we'll end here..."
Jordan L. Hawk
2021-11-24 01:31:02 +0000 UTCMe 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
Duck
2021-11-24 01:10:28 +0000 UTCso 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--
bramblepaws
2021-11-24 00:48:24 +0000 UTCI am not ok.
Marie
2021-11-24 00:05:45 +0000 UTCYou’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.
Kristin Urbanski
2021-11-23 23:41:02 +0000 UTCALEXANDER YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARD!
Ashley Burden
2021-11-23 22:51:45 +0000 UTCBrb going back to COUNT HOW MANY ROUNDS THAT WAS BEFORE THAT ENDING Thank you all for a wonderful show and a wonderful episode ❤❤❤
AJ Codling-Martinez
2021-11-23 22:50:33 +0000 UTCa fired ball??? never heard of it
spiderbeetlebee
2021-11-23 21:42:44 +0000 UTCI 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*
SpaceFeather
2021-11-23 21:14:23 +0000 UTCGOSH. 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.
sAZAndorable
2021-11-23 21:10:49 +0000 UTCHamid the lucky halfling!!! Bryn saying fireball was a spell he'd cast 'rarely' cracked me up. Great episode! Hope everyone will be okay 😔
TheCyanStar
2021-11-23 19:48:32 +0000 UTCI think he might still have temp hp against fire from before! Unless Alex had him jump in front of other dragon breaths while we weren't looking 😬
TheCyanStar
2021-11-23 19:43:48 +0000 UTCAlexander, 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.
Lark
2021-11-23 19:40:05 +0000 UTCDoes 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.
Lillian Collea
2021-11-23 18:51:14 +0000 UTCI 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
2021-11-23 18:40:08 +0000 UTCOh, so Wilde is super dead, right?
Grif Stian
2021-11-23 18:37:00 +0000 UTCIdk 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
Perry
2021-11-23 18:25:06 +0000 UTCCurled up into a ball, respecting his craft.
Space Modulator
2021-11-23 18:23:41 +0000 UTCoh ok i will just lie here on the ground until dec 1
Rebecca F
2021-11-23 18:19:32 +0000 UTCOh 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??
Kit Maclaurin
2021-11-23 18:17:56 +0000 UTCThe emotional whiplash of that ending followed by those bloopers... I'm not sure how to feel but I definitely feel a lot!
Freya
2021-11-23 18:08:45 +0000 UTCFeel you!! Did the same thing at work a couple of minutes ago 😩
NoyneKehmaya
2021-11-23 18:03:52 +0000 UTCJust 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
2021-11-23 18:01:24 +0000 UTCRight, so I won't be breathing for a week.
Noell S.
2021-11-23 18:00:53 +0000 UTCI 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).

elizabeth p.
2021-11-23 17:10:26 +0000 UTCsobbing 'but we respect his craft' over and over until it summons alex and i can ask him why
Dorian
2021-11-23 17:06:30 +0000 UTC...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.
Ollie of the Beholder
2021-11-23 16:59:25 +0000 UTCI say this with all the love in my heart: I hate you all so [redacted] much.
Ollie of the Beholder
2021-11-23 16:58:55 +0000 UTCI'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!
Julia Robins
2021-11-23 16:54:14 +0000 UTCFireball! And I really want to know what happened with Wilde, but what a blaze of glory ending to this episode.
Ivy
2021-11-23 16:53:10 +0000 UTCI need it to be next week right now that was incredible and I cannot do this
Zoe Palmer
2021-11-23 16:52:23 +0000 UTCWell. That was ... an episode. The wait until next week will be awful

Aiden Parziani
2021-11-23 16:52:08 +0000 UTC... there's more than a week. Until we find out what happens. I hate this. 🙂🙂🙂
Casper Muir
2021-11-23 16:50:35 +0000 UTCALEX 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
