C3 Ep. 30: Old Man on the Edge of Town (Legends of Irondeep)

"JESSICA!! MS. SIMPSON!!!" I've been thinking about this delivery NON-STOP ever since this episode came out omg

Is Caldwell still caught up with the One Piece manga?

CommodoreBlue

Finally getting close to catching up and I'm SO happy this one wasn't spoiled for me, what a moment.

SCREAMING, CRYING, THROWING UP. MY HEART.

Alex Kelly

Second listen through, I KNEW it was coming, and I STILL cry 😭😭😭😭😭

David

had to eat a can of beans in celebration of this one :,)

tig

too bad Bev definitely died trying to good a mindflayer on the astral plane

Kresh

ok i know i just commented but "you guys are lucky i was here" and callie's "at your house?" ... insane. insane moment. insane energy.

(beware of spoilers in this entire thread btw!!!) ofc i am sooo glad to hear my boy hardwon again but i also want to shout out that stunning moment that callie had when transforming from spring eladrin to winter eladrin. it was so satisfying and moving to see her recognise that she is progressing in ways she didn't expect!!! emily played it so perfectly and i loved saul's immediate acceptance of her overnight change.

kiarra burd

I had fully accepted the death of the boobs only to be surprised by the reappearance of Hardwon, so glad our sad boy is back

Andy McCabe

As they were describing the air ship i was so confused because I couldn't think of anyone it could be other than Hardwon, and surely it couldn't be him. I thought maybe he could have a son or something. I'm so glad its him

So happy to have finally understood a live show reference in the COE. Thank you Helen of Bris for reminding me of Mark Mark

Omg. This is a perfect Hardwon reappearance. I know Murph was so mad, but like...this was flawless.

Stephanie F

Fuck. I can't. You've ruined it. -Brian K. Murphy

Snugglegurts

The way I screamed at work 😭

Also book recs: The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin (plus there is a ttrpg made/in the works based on the universe)

Julia V

An absolute gem of an episode all around, thank you guys. Genuinely cried happy tears when I heard Hardwon’s voice again, very happy he is back outside of the live show capacity. This trios energy is just off the walls already, I can’t wait to see what happens!

Julia V

When I tell you I was screaming in my car with excitement— the dynamic between these three is so lovely, I love Hardwon dealing with these goobers. Feels like he’s entering his DILF era

Screaming crying throwing up

Brock Severson

YOU ABSOLUTE TWATS I GASPED SO LOUDLY ON A CRAMPED AND CROWDED TRAIN!!! IM SO EXCITED

Aaaaaarushi An Anachronistic Enigma

Old hardwon has Gilear vibes and I’m living for it!! The spilled beans are the constant 😅

Callie having the serpent pretend to attack her is one of my favorite moments of all time.

Cameron L

Caldwell if you're still looking for a book rec, check out the First Law trilogy (first book is called The Blade Itself) by Joe Abercrombie. Incredible book series. I'm also overly confident that Murph has already read them.

Lex Flexington

The way I SCREAMED when I realized it was Hardwon! I scared my boyfriend and dog though

Grass

I'm not crying, you're crying seeing Hardwon again

AstraHorn

OMG YES!!! As soon as I heard airship!!

Penny Garbo

Old Man Hardwon 😭😭😭

Zarroc

Book rec: Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe

Xanian Jamfalcon

Ahhhh, I hate that I waited until now to listen to this...audible gasp at work, love it!

Yelhsa W.

Jake how dare you say that you stayed up deciding what class you would play!

OMGimadragontrainer

When sol connects, does he feel moonshine?

seachaser

Smiling so hard at the gym at old man Hardwon

J

book rec for Caldwell: The Thief from Megan Whalen Turner

Saru

Release Hardwons letter to moonshine!!! We all want it to come to life!

Holly

Amazing!!!!! It’s like reuniting with an old friend, I missed him so much!!! 😭

Jordan

Was the book recommendation at the end for Caldwell to read from Em Deathlist or Deathless? does anyone know?

As soon as the described the airship I knew!!

Tyler W. They call me Dr. Worm

As soon as they approached the downed airship, I got so insanely hyped up! Masterful writing Murph!

Lachlann Dee

This episode is one big hug

Katy Howells

Brilliant! I was so unsure (in a good way!) about where y'all would go without calder, and this was the perfect way to make it exciting and to re-inject some hope/fun into everything

Annie

Give us the letter to Moonshine! Thanks for such a great episode y’all!

Rene the Monster Captain

I totally thought he was gonna be Cobb 😂

Ian Hanson

I highly recommend Throne of Glass series. Also love having Hardwon!

Olivia the Enchanting Bard and Jarod the soap opera cleric who are playing Stick it to the Man (down with the monarchy)

felt like there was a guest on this one

Zachary Mullins

Seeing Hardwon again was like reuniting with an old friend.

Remember those motorcycles they stashed from the dwarves at Shiverblights cave? I don’t know why i do and thought they would use them

Rob T

The unholy noise that came out of my mouth when I realised that it was Hardwon made my partner think something serious had happened 😭😭😭

Ruthie Pinion

HARDWON !!!!! I literally started crying when I realized 😭😭😭😭

Ollie

What a great episode. I didn't know what to expect after the last episode but this is was not it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!! I'm only a quarter of the way of the episode 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️ I'm so happy I cried on the train

Nancy.Art.Music

RELEASE 👏 THE 👏 HARDWON 👏 LETTER 👏

Chris Skipper

More like Old Man on Edge. Oh my God. I'm dying 😂🤣 this is so fucking good

D'ran Dana

Straight up gasped at this reveal, and proceeded to cry with laughter at the complete disrespect given to the moment. The taxidermied Caw Caw made me sob. Completely in love with Hardwon’s reveal!

brookieblue

Exactly what I needed from Hardwon

1,000 roses and 10 million beans go out to this ep

Jack Farley

Caldwell you should read Battle Royale! It’s a great book and so well translated!!

Darkrisky

Truly the best new character for Jake this arc. Amazing

Also, a book recommendation since Emily and Caldwell mentioned liking them at the end there: Gideon the Ninth! It's the first of a series of four books, three have been released and the last is on the way. The byline is "Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space! Decadent nobles vie to serve the deathless Emperor! Skeletons!" It's very funny and exciting, please give it a read 💖

Geraint

Mordenkainen's magnificent mallard

tophergrace

Dying for the short rest! LOVED IT! Little too many beans for me but hearing Murph also dying made me feel less alone lol

Jesymka

AHHHHH!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!

I saw it coming but was still shook. Bless you father

Olivia Hill

Daddy Murphy is a master at give and take. While I’m ecstatic what happened happened, I’m scared this means some sour fates may have befell the other boobs

Nick Neverman

The ep that released on my birthday has MY BABY BOY IN IT THANK YOU LORD MURPHY I AM THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY BOY NOW

Mack0Lantern

"Jessica, you've barely touched your beans"

jackalope503

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME I'M 32 MINUTES IN HOW DARE YOU

Alex Cutrone

This feels like such s breath of fresh Air after The dragon elf saga. It Got so dour and grave, and it feels sooooo good to finally put a button on The whole Glen deal and fuck around with Hardwon and make bits about Beans and Maxim

Lasse Momme

Goodness. Goodness. My heart. The scream I scrum.

Haley Anne

THE RETURN OF THE QUAD GOD!

Abraham Dorado

Every tired Murph sigh adds 10 years to my lifespan
