#ulfgar

[quicklings]

okay well, i can’t stop thinking about Them now - thiala and alanis and ulfgar.

fractured and embittered and enemies at the end but pov you're a god with two divine hearts and yet you're so afraid of your two former companions beating you you have to trap them and keep them closest to your heart... alongside the boy you used to kill your god... alanis and ulfgar have passed on the torch, are just too scarred by a demonic disease and wish stones, and yet they're the ones thiala went for, the ones she still had by the end. they started out together. and thiala ended with them. and then they outgrew her.

#han how dare you do this to me actually #not another dnd podcast #naddpod #thiala #alanis #ulfgar #emspeak #(also yes ik the gem trapping is for gameplaying purposes but it's ALSO a heartbreaking narrative in this essay i will—)

[ID: young Ulfgar, Alanis, and Thiala from NADDPOD drawn as the lads from the video "British lads hit each other with chair". Ulfgar is a muscular Dwarf with medium brown skin, dark hair/beard, and gold piercings. Alanis is a lighter skinned High Elf with black hair, goggles, and purple clothing. Thiala is a muscular, light skinned Human woman with curly blonde hair. First, Alanis bends down to kiss Ulfgar on the mouth while holding a wooden folding chair. Then, Ulfgar bends down and braces himself for impact while Alanis rears back to hit him with the chair. Finally, Thiala holds Ulfgar up as he is in shock from the blow. end ID]

#earlier today i had the thought 'ulfgar and alanis are t4t' and somehow that led directly to this with nothing in between #my art #naddpod #alanis #ulfgar #thiala #image description #art description

the ulfgar-ification of hardwon surefoot (falling in love with the elven member of their adventuring party and then proceeding to say nothing about it despite the fact that the feelings are certainly mutual and one (1) conversation could lead to everything they’ve ever wanted)

the first trio who saved bahumia was called the legendary heroes and the second trio who saved bahumia was called the band of boobs

I love critical role, but the NADDPod parties really make me happy because cr parties tend to be more morally gray and, even if they're not, distrustful. And that's okay, sometimes I like watching that! But I adore what good, kind, and trusting people NADDPod characters tend to be. Minus the Trinyvale Triplets, but they're entertaining specifically because they're the exception. I'm currently relistening to the first time they met Ulfgar, and, man, Moonshine really let someone she'd only heard of take swings at her and almost kill her because she believed he was a good person and was just being controlled. I feel like many other parties would have just been like "welp, he's possessed, that's bad" and just treated him as an enemy but Moonshine would rather get knocked out and maybe die than not give him a chance to fight his mind control.

thinking, eternally, about the failed bahumia trios and the boobs breaking the pattern as a group of 5

#hanbles #naddplog #like. melora telaine and aryox #jolene cobb and marabelle #alanis ulfgar and thiala #lucanus and erdan and either ilsed or jolene #lydia elias and redd/gunther #that one's a stretch. but. also. #it's literally so......... god

i have to say it’s so extremely naddpod that they finally faced ultrus n immediately devolved into pimple popper jokes and bringing up his journal

#alli says shit #ba2mia spoilers #naddpod #i love this show this ain’t a complaint #callie’s journal bit killed me #‘i’ve never even seen a pen’ #also. the real atrocity ulfgar is committing is ruining calder’s dental health

[silksworn]

not a daddy, but a Father

#already cooking up the Lore... #referred to as 'The Hound' by his former associates #grew up in his father's orc tribe && heavily looked down upon for his elven heritage (bc half orcs only being half human/orc is boooooring! #Drakka meaning dragon and being called his mother's little dragon...... #so of course in childhood a group of children held his face to open flame to see if he truly was a dragon after all :)))) spoiler alert! no #when he finally learned of bhaal it was like breathing for the first time. life had meaning. it had color. he had purpose. #his first offerings to bhaal were his tribesmen who had always disdained of him #aaaaaaand basically i still havent' decided if in game he's going to go full resist or give into his urges or somewhere in between the two #but without his memories of his childhood and how bhaal was his 'salvation'??? i imagine he has a very different outlook on life now HHMMM #drakka ulfgar i just made you a few hours ago but i already love you and i want to write you you big orc bastard. i love u. #☾ ooc ! ❛ —— ( they baldured our gate! )

[crickwater]

I'm so normal abt naddpod (<- lying)

#I had a good but like. long ass day and then got back home and instantly listened to the end of fallen heroes #which is just soooooo. thiala showing up. moonshine refusing to fight ulfgar. the ritual. beverlin kiss. #Jake saying hardwon fell in love with moonshine. truly one of the episodes of all times

Ulfgar, Thiala, and Alanis were all in a throuple and are all now tragically divorced.

#they're like the divorce trio from amphibia <3 #if murph wasn't a coward he'd make it canon #its canon to me #thiala #alanis #ulfgar trueaxe #naddpod #fever says #not another dnd podcast #bahumia

[flowercoasts]

it would be. exceptionally hilarious if the things that were being shipped to wildemount were going to uthodurn so ultgar could build something with it…

#critical role #flower talks #all their backstories connected. i Know it. I Know It! #everyone waiting for the solstice… machinations in play we don’t know about…. moves being made #also tried to look up how to spell the name and instead got to ifys character ulfgar #verrrry interesting to me

The ulfgar-ification of Calder Kildé and Jaina Bronzebeard (being used as a general power source in the final battle with an evil entity who has you trapped in an accessory and can use your power for spell casting and legendary actions, while they can take on your face to attack)

#naddpod #naddpod spoilers #ba2mia #did my brain initially wonder if this was maybe a helm related to ulfgar and alanis? maybe 🙃 #(did thinking about them again also make me cry for some reason? also maybe 💀) #naddpod lb

Transcript:

[The sound of rain plays softly in the background.] Murph: Moonshine it is your turn. What do you do? Emily: [sighs] Okay. I'm gonna say-- [As Moonshine speaks, The Blows of a Friend, And Not a Foe plays.] Moonshine: Ulfgar. I command you to remember the happiest moment of your childhood. [Caldwell gasps and then laughs in delight.] Moonshine: Whether it be runnin-- runnin amok in the fields chasing a nannerfly, or eating a big ol' piece of gooseberry pie! I don't know what the happiest moment in your childhood was, but I command you to remember it. And remember why you went down the path that you went down. And if you still want to fight me, I will-- I will take your blows as a friend, and not a foe. Murph: Okay. Ulfgar goes back to swing, and, as the axe starts to get close to you, he just goes-- Ulfgar, yelling: Duck, dammit! Duck! Murph: Do you duck? Emily: [pause, then gently] no. Murph: Ol' Cobb, reaction, dives and catches you-- and throws you down. Emily: [yelling, distressed] NO--! NO! Jake: No he di-- He dove on top of you. He didn't take it. Murph: As Ulfgar swings, Ol' Cobb grabs you and you guys hit the deck. Ulfgar swings fuckin' baseball bat swing with his axe, but throws his axe away. [Emily sighs in relief.] And it goes and it hits into the mountain. Ulfgar drops to the ground and he starts clawing at his face, [Emily gasps.] and-- but you see that one of his eyes is back to normal, like he's got pupils again. And you see he goes-- Ulfgar, labored: She's. Manipulating me. She knows. How my bloodlust. If I'm near her. Or if I'm in battle. (desperately) I can't control myself. Moonshine: Hardwon, pilot this ship as far away from here as possible!

an NPC came up in june's campaign tonight whose name is felix and it was genuinely extremely distracting

#another npc: the leader of this branch of [mining company that used to own our barbarian as a slave] is a man named felix #the barbarian's player messaging me on fb: YOU!!!!!!! #me: dfkjhfdgkj MY SECRET EVIL BACKSTORY... MY WICKED SCHEMES #npc felix wasn't present in this session so when he was talked about it was always in 3rd person and usually by name #so like a LOT of 'felix' thrown around lmao #'would I know of a felix?' 'you know of *a* felix. you might even know multiple felixes' yeah no kidding jhgfkjdfgjdf #(his point being 'it may be a common name and it may or may not even actually be the same guy' lol) #apparently this felix was also a slave at the same time nalmir was so it's currently unclear whether he's a badguy or what #there was also an npc named ulfgar which I happen to know is just one of the suggested dwarf names in the phb #but it IS also the name my brother picked for his dwarf paladin in justin's secondary campaign #me and justin at ulfgar mention: hahaha ulfgar my friend ulfgar!! this guy sure gets around!! #me and justin at felix mention: ... william just shaking down our other campaigns for loose names‚ #about me
