[stone-stars]

Transcript:

A weaving of clips from different Naddpod scenes. The first is the battle against Ultrus, during which Kingshammer plays in the background. The second is Hardwon talking to Callie, during which The Gunslinger's Girl plays in the background. Murph: And Hardwon, behind you, you hear a familiar voice. Ol' Cobb: Hey! Hey Hardwon! I don't know if you can hear me. Hardwon: I… I lost my battle with Gruumsh. And… and my best friend died that day. A man named Cobb. Murph: You see the spirit of a lanky old crick elf, long white hair, eye patch, blunderbuss at his side. He shakes you as he speaks to you and-- it occurs to you right away that he's not talking to you right now. This is a-- a-- it feels like a recording, or a memory. And you realize that-- you didn't comprehend it at the time, but this was your last conversation with Cobb. He was speaking to you while you were knocked out. And it begins flooding back to you. Callie: What was he like? Cobb: Gruumsh's guys saw me run up here. I'm-- I'm gonna take 'em a--as far as my old legs can run. Hardwon: He was funny. Callie: Was he? Hardwon: He's a riot, that guy. Cobb: But you-- you gotta stay here, alright? Hardwon: Cobb. Cobb, come on. No. Murph: He keeps talking through you-- Callie: I'm really sorry. Is that why you stopped? Hardwon: I can't protect my best friend, who can I? Callie: Did he ask you to protect him? Cobb: Now don't go blaming yourself. I know you're gonna blame yourself. But-- Hardwon: Oh, fuck. Cobb: I ain't doing you a favor, alright? Hardwon: Aw, Cobb-- Cobb: You're doing me one. Hardwon: Let me die, Cobb! Cobb: Let this old man leave the world knowing that the kids are gonna be alright. Hardwon: He'd always tell me to keep it light. But, since he's gone… Hardwon: No! The world's better with you in it than me! Cobb! What are you doing? Cobb: Look after Moonshine and Bev for me, yeah? Hardwon: It feels like the light went with him. Murph: You see he begins to walk, ahead of the other spirits, and turns back. [A new clip, this one from The Heart of the World. Oh, Melora! plays] Murph: Hardwon, you like Cobb because he's quick with a joke. Cobb: Or better yet, you tell Moonshine and Bev to look after you, dumbass! [Laughs] [Oh, Melora! again] Murph: He likes you because you're quick with a laugh. Jake: Hardwon laughs and sobs. Cobb: Keep it light! Murph: You see Cobb charges into battle, a ghostly reflection of his last stand. Hardwon: He tried to save me. He did save me. I… couldn't return the favor.

“We can tell Fresh Cut Grass as much as he wants, as we want, that he does not have to be defined by his past trauma. But what happens when your past trauma does not loosen their grip? What if your trauma doesn't let you forget? Well, and I'll admit I'm being a bit of a hypocrite here, I suppose my first instinct would be to break its fingers. Too bad I can't break something I can't see. Well, we'll have to work on that, won't we? I'm open to suggestions.”

When my time comes around

Murph [narrating]: Hardwon, you are in this strange, in between world. {Kingshammer begins playing in the background} Like, the Feywild right now looks like an oil painting, like it's gray and white, and you can vaguely see what's going on, but it's all blurry. And you hear a bunch of voices in the distance. You hear the voice of Gemma, in the distance going:

Gemma [Murph, whispering]: Hardwon, it's not your time yet, Hardwon. Hardwon, we'll be together but not now.

Hardwon [Jake]: Gemma.

Murph: You hear another voice calling to you.

Elias Stormborn [Murph]: Son, join me in the halls of Isgard.

Murph: And from somewhere else, you hear dissonant whispers, but amongst them you recognize the voice of the Widow.

Lydia Stormborn (The Widow) [Murph]: We can get out together, we can get out together.

Hardwon: Mother?

{Kingshammer slowly fades out}

Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth

Moonshine [Emily]: {Gutless plays in the background} Um, I just wanna remind you, not every problem needs to be fixed, but, if you want, I can reincarnate you.

Hardwon [Jake]: I wanna die, real bad.

[Caldwell laughs]

Moonshine: Okay, well, I'm gonna take that as a positive because if you die, then I can reincarnate ya.

Hardwon: Take it whatever way you want [chuckles]. Uh, but no, I, yeah, no, that's, that's the right interpretation.

Moonshine [overlapping]: Hardwon -

Hardwon: I w - I -

Moonshine: I really don't want you to want to die, because I want you to live so much and I don't wanna be alone in that feelin'.

Hardwon: I don't wanna die. I wanna - I wanna - I wanna live again.

No grave can hold my body down

Murph [narrating]: And you guys hear its voice, uh, simultaneously echoing through the cave and also sounding like it's right over your shoulder, somebody whispering into your ear.

[Emily hums in acknowledgement]

Death [Murph]: Hardwon Surefoot.

Beverly [Caldwell]: Woah!

Hardwon [Jake]: 'Sup?

Death: {The Purge starts playing in the background} You should be dead.

Hardwon: Yeah, looks like you can't do your job right, can ya? [Caldwell chuckles]

Death: The reason I can't do my job is because people like Beverly and Moonshine break the laws of death.

Hardwon: Careful, you're talking about my family.

I'll crawl home to her

Murph [narrating]: {Oh, Melora! plays in the background} Hardwon, your spirit, um, flies into this body. Uh, you see, Melora picks it up, pulls him out of the sea, and brings half-elf Hardwon into this, um, demiplane with all you guys.

[Caldwell laughs]

--

Hardwon [/Jake]: {Tale's End plays in the background} I smash my forehead against Moonshine's, too. [Emily laughs in delight] And say, hey, if I was gonna come back as anything, I'm proud to come back as half of you.

When my time comes around

Hardwon [Jake]: But, Beverly and Moonshine? They don't need me. [pauses] And, and I have to be okay with that.

--

Hardwon: {A Memory plays in the background} But I'm coming to understand the reality - that they're gonna stay as strong and heroic as we all once were, and I'm going to fade away.

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

Hardwon [Jake]: Um, do me one, one favor? If I start to slow you down {bird chirping sound in background}, you leave me behind.

No grave can hold my body down

Hardwon [Jake]: {metal guitar music plays in the background} Hardwon kips up.

Murph [narrating]: Your eyes are closed, you're knocked out, you remember the last time you were knocked out by an avatar of Gruumsh, you know you can't let that happen again. Just pure, force of will, you jolt your heart and get it going again, and you kip up.

--

Murph [narrating]: {The Hexblood Centurions plays in the background} Hardwon, you are suddenly jolted back awake with the help of Sol, you see Sol hovering over you.

Hardwon [Jake]: Oh, my god -

Sol [Caldwell]: Hey.

Hardwon: - do I love the smell of mushrooms after I wake up from death. [Caldwell laughs]

I'll crawl home to her

Hardwon [Jake]: [other cast members laughing throughout] Moonsh - Moonshine, if you can hear me, I'll be there tomorrow. I'll be there tomorr- I'm coming. As fast as I can.

[vethbrenatto]

I’m broken inside.

Orym, eternally: Can we PLEASE talk out our plan? Or have a plan? Just a small one? And do it? Please? Maybe?

I love it when these two interact

[Image Description: Digital drawing of Ashton Greymoore and Laudna from Critical Role. The two are huddled together against the sandstorm, Ashton has his arm around Laudna in a tight grip and is whispering something in her ear. He has goggles and a brown cloak around himself. Laudna’s face is obscured by an off-white cloak that she grips tightly around herself, her hair is whipping in the wind. Billowing sand obscures them, making their silhouette blend in with the brown background. End ID]
