With the deaths of their friends in the backs of their mind, the group finally gets a chance to chat with this powerful monkey or ape like creature. Sure, we have experienced loss, but maybe, just maybe, this will be a potential new ally that will help us feel whole again. A strong new fighter compatriot is a powerful thing for the soul, as most people know. I hazard to say that that everyone feels a spark of hope with this new friend.
Join us in June in Portland for GeeklyCon 2016!!! Tickets are still available at the time of this posting. Orders after 4/1/2016 will not receive any sweet swag, so you should get on that quick!
The adventure continues with Titus Harper (Tim Lanning), Bonanas Foster (Mike Bachmann), Aludra (Jennifer Cheek), Jaela (Nika Howard) and your Dungeon Master (Michael DiMauro). Don’t forget to follow our editor Steph Kingston (@stephokingston)!
This podcast never made me laugh harder. Their hate for bananas foster only made it funnier. It felt like an episode of the office with all the awkwardness. RIP bananas
Mike made a literal skill monkey
I am so happy someone made this comment. I only caught on near the end!
Absolutely the best episode of the new season. I love Bananas Foster and please oh please do not let him die… Or do. It’s not up to me. Great job guys.
Quick game mechanic question for the cast- Does Nyx need proficiency in leather worker’s tools, cobbler’s tools, or is it supple enough to count as cloth?
Needle in the Hay Donkey Kong Country Remix still makes me weep. Has it occurred to you Geekly peeps that Needle in the Hay will certainly be playing at all your irl funerals? Cute!
Future Aludra heavy episode title suggestion: Baldur’s Date
Just let apelings live to 600 or 700 or so in your setting. Elves can do it.
Man thrifty, one inconsequential detail and you kill off a character instead of allowing Mike to play something little more fun. Nice.
Dimauro i like you sooooo much less right now. like genuinely, really bad form. also Jaela should have consequences for being a paladin who refuses to help, point 2 you get 3 death saving throws not just 1, point 3 fainting and going unconscious in combat are different things. if he actually fell he’d have to take dmg, which he didn’t. point 4 if your player wants to sneak away and no one is observing him (and later you said winston wasn’t there anymore) they always succeed. i know you make your own rules but you broke so many of them just to kill off the greatest character ever made. if it wasn’t for my trust in bachmann’s ability to make a great character i’d stop watching here and now. that was just mean man, just mean.
Just got to this episode. Perfection. I think I might steal Bananas Foster for an NPC. This is amazing. I can’t work. I’m crying.
The Branson thing. It just. Keeps. Going.
Probably the best episode since Thom and Aludra gave birth and Harper and Jaela found the head device removal room.
I’m dying!! It’s really hard to drive listening to the episode!
Hilarious!
About halfway through the episode at work… Digging the whole Bachmann Character Roulette. If everyone were to listen closely, he specifically says (a few times throughout recording the podcast) his favorite part of tabletops is the RP… so… it completely makes sense (and makes me extremely happy) that they harnessed his love and ability for role playing (side note: it was pretty sweet that he practically nailed the voice for the Gnome squire when he was disguised). I’m guessing that Jaela has turned into an Oath Breaker.. perhaps something to do with the Erathis (probably spelled incorrectly) tattoos disappearing and her and Aludra having issues… I’m hoping it plays out well because poor Nika has seemed so upset since the conversion to 5e at this point and the Jaeludra thing seems to have been carrying her through.
Keep up the great work and I cannot wait to catch up!
Addendum to previous comment:
Bananas Foster’s age could be justified by saying that he was once an elf that died and was reincarnated into that form, retaining all past knowledge and skills with bonuses based on the new form! Then again, this would have circumnavigated the whole CON save rolls for strenuous activity.
Man that outro music… Where can I find it ?
Everybody chant together so they have to do it, BRInG BaCk BaNanaS FosTer! BrinG baCk BanAnaS foStEr! I see that you guys planned to kill him off, but nooooo. Best character ever. I must say it seemed quite unfair how he left the world. 🙁 You will be remembered in the hearts of your fans. Thank you Bachmann
