Episode 1 of us tackling the Sunless Citadel is up right now, so go do yourselves and us a huge favour by signing up right now at SandsPantsPlus.com for even more weekly bullshit from your favourite boys. Welcome to episode 14 of Buried Beneath, a D&D's for nerds adventure. I'm Joel Zammett and I'll be playing the part of Shane Knoll. I'm Michael Shanks and I'll be playing the role of Squim Norton. I'm Jackson Bailey and I'll be playing the part of Anton Desorcier.

Adam, damn! Previously! These words are all that is left. Why would I lie to you? What cause have I to hurt you, traveler? Turn back while you still can. You notice the sand shifts? You know when in the movie there's like something underneath the sand and the sand ripples?

Fucking tremor bullshit. Hey, there's tremors. The movie is happening. Got it. In the next room. Nine's code is kind of stupid when it comes to animals. I just want to point it out. I'll see you soon, little.

Your souls shall fuse in heaven. I just want to point it out. I'll see you soon, little imp. Souls shall fuse in heaven. I want to hear a worm laugh. I want to hear that worm laugh. Please be the worm. What a funny worm. Its head turns to the side, and because of that, the acid orb drops straight onto your face. Robots are immune to gas.

Robots don't need to breathe. Do the robots not need humans to still make them? No. That's true. We humans to still make them? No. That's true. We felt the beast roll for experience. Ah, thou art my friend forever and a day. You stand around the gaping hole to the lower level, looking at Shane below you.

He looks up to you, seeing you hesitating. So there's no one else climbing down? Is that what's happening? I'm not sure. I think we all climb down and he has a sleep in that room. I spider walk down for a second. We gotta fucking

excavate. And also loot these worms. Yeah, worm loot. Gloom falls when he climbs down. Fucking Gloom. Is he gonna die? Gloom can't die. He might. I forgot how weak Gloom was. no he survives the fall but he like breaks his back he hits the ground you all hear crack and he's

like i can't get up can i feed him a health potion stop this from happening in the future is there i feel like we gotta like what you know we take a 10? It's a climbing rope. You can, but no one said so. And I am nothing if not trying to kill you guys. Fuck you. Rude. Actually, if you take a 10, you still fail. No, wait, someone does.

Probably me. I got the shakes. Anton still fails if you take a 10. Well, I guess we all take a 10 except for Anton. Yeah. Which means that you have less than a 50-50 chance of making it. That's truly not a surprise. Can we give him a health potion to fix his back?

Yeah, yeah. Which potions do you want to give him? I've got two cure light. Yeah, cure light's fine. He doesn't need many hit points. He's a weak, weak. He's only got like 13, yeah? Yeah, roughly there.

After he drinks the health potion, he's able to get up. Good. He's now cured. Gloom is yeah? Yeah, roughly there. After he drinks the health potion, he's able to get up. He's now cute. Gloom is in the room, I say. Nobody likes it. I like it. I'm enjoying the nickname we are giving him. Ah, it's the gloom. Oh, right.

Speaking of nearly killing you. You throw off the poison. Who does? Oh, you. You're full of poison. I'm going to make a secondary save. But what about that plague? Can I check my lymph nodes? You throw off the poison. Who does? Oh, you. You were full of poison. I'm going to make a secondary save. But what about that plague? Can I check my lymph nodes?

You want to check yourself again? Yeah. I just see him clearly probably fall down the rope, I'm guessing. Have I fallen yet? Yeah, everyone's down. Sorry, I didn't fall.

I should say, yeah, everyone has climbed down into the sand-filled room that you, like I said, will need to excavate to even just look for doors. Right. So, Shane, you give yourself a little bit of a self-check.

You give yourself a self-check. Look for lumps. Clever. You find a lump. Dang. Where? Your lymph nodes. Dang.

You got the shakes. Dang. Better check yourself. I don't check. Clever. Just don't check Clever Just don't want to know I'll feel the shakes When I feel the shakes

Alright So how bad Have the shakes I start shaking It's still in early stages So you were able To fight it off For longer than

Fuckface over here was So yeah The shakes You just gotta rest Yeah It's just bed rest It's just bed rest That's what gets you

Unless it kills you That's what gets you. Unless it kills you. That's what gets you. So the shakes, either you'll get better or you won't. It's fine. You carry on. You're not so bad as me. I'm in a very terrible way. This is going to take, like, not a long time, I reckon, to hit him.

I'll start digging. Okay. Where do you want to start in. I'll start digging. Okay. Where do you want to start digging? Which direction? Atomwood. Atomwood? Okay. So I'm going to say for each individual excavated wall,

it's going to take you a day. Oh, man. Yep. Thank the equipment, though. Fuckface Gloom brought it. Yep. Thank God we don't have to eat. That's lucky.

And you get all the rations. For what it's worth, should we bother looting the ashworms? Oh, yeah. We'll have a gander. Have a quick gander. That would be another excavation. That's fine. We got the time.

I reckon this one, I think the non-shaky one in the room. Yeah. We're doing the most of the heavy lifting, I want to assume. Yeah. I'll do that. Give it a look. So, Shane, your dexterity is reduced by one after this day of excavating. You think that's bad?

Mine was reduced by four. And Squim, seven. Reduced by seven? What? What? I take it I got the shakes. You got a negative one now. Oh, dexterity?

Yep. I thought I had 16 dexterity. So, the big number, 16, you... Oh, don't actually rub this out, because it's kind of a temporary thing. Okay. Provided you... Well, either way, it's a temporary thing.

Yeah, either way, it's a temporary thing. So you, for now, instead of 16, your dexterity score is nine, and nine translates to a modifier of negative 1 instead of positive 3. Right. Oh, I see. That will greatly impact your Eldritch Blast.

Oh no, you're gonna hit France. That's my thing. That's my jam. Okay, how about I'll just rest. I smell Lilip's hair. To fortify myself. This is so bad for you. Okay, how about we all just rest? I smell Lilip's hair. Anton. To fortify myself.

Things are so bad for you. What is the situation? It hasn't progressed, but you don't feel better. You don't feel any better. All right. Dang. Can we just nap? Nap until we're better or dead.

We nap until we're better or dead Oh you've uncovered You spent time excavating So you've uncovered a door on the atom side of the room Right I detect magic On the door You don't accidentally detect magic on like my rooster

Or whatever You detect four faint Magical auras in the distance past that doorway sometimes magic's a good thing guys you detect a slight aura of transmutation a slight aura of illusion a slight aura of necromancy and a slight aura of evocation so these are four individual auras. So evocation is like a fireball, like a spell that creates energy. Yeah, all right. Transmutation is something that changes from one form to another. Illusion is kind of self-explanatory.

And necromancy is, we all know what necromancy is. We all know. It's the devils. I mean, the dead. So would you like to explore beyond this door, or are we taking it safe for now? We're taking it safe. Again, we rest until we're better or dead.

Okay, so... But we might all be dead. So, I'd say that excavating, while it is kind of heavy labor, it's not that actually labor-intensive, just a bit of sand. So you can continue to make progress in the excavation while still just resting. We'll take the next day to go, say, the Zammertwood one.

Zammertwood? Okay. Zammertwood door. You find another door there. Mm-hmm. I feel like at what point am I unplayable like what is my strength my dex modifier gotta be

two rooms ago you were unplayable about the time you finished fighting the ashworms oh god but like at what point can I no longer move? Well, so a zero score of any stat, for physical stats, strength, dexterity, constitution.

A zero score is death? No, a zero score is immobile, so you're paralyzed, except for constitution, which is death. Yeah. Zero constitution is death. Zero intelligence, charisma, or wisdom is a potato, a vegetable. Yeah, yeah, unplayable. Yeah, so only constitution necessarily. Kills, but I mean, what's the point?

Anton has a dex of zero. Like, I can keep playing. Funny. Very funny. So what happened? How are we doing? You find another door excavated? Oh, that's fine.

How is our illness progressing? That's what we're worried about. My largest concern right now is my physical well-being. Shane, you still look like you're a little while away from recovery. Dang. Anton seems on the up and up getting better. Hey. All right.

You've almost fought it off. Hey. You're a tough one. You're a tough one, Squim. All you got to do is get Squim's blood and inject it in. I steal it from him. You do have a needle. You still have that needle.

We could just get rid of whatever goops in it and I'll give you a little bloody bloody. I don't like our chances. None of us are medical doctors. Not in the slightest. We'll excavate Jacksonwood. Should I detect magic on this door? Yeah, good plan. Sorry. Yeah, good idea. You detect no magical auras in that direction.

Oh, okay. Adam is magic. All right. Excavate the next one. Have a sneaky nap. On this third day, Squim, you have fought off the disease Shakeless boy Everything's coming up Squim Anton

Got rid of it too, lucky boy Got his Kong back Got his Kong back too Just all I needed was bed rest Over the last day You guys have started hearing sounds upstairs We could set a trap Turns out, over the last day, you guys have started hearing sounds upstairs. We could set a trap.

So if somebody jumps down, we've got like swords pointed upwards or something. Oh, that's a good idea. But then we've got to sacrifice some swords. That is the problem. I never use my morning star. You probably can't assume that they're going to just drop down here. They'll probably climb down like you guys did. Possibly on the rope that you still haven't really taken off. Oh, I take off the rope.

Oh, I forgot that. How is Anton and myself doing? Yeah, in terms of sickness, Adam. Shane, now you kind of look like you're on the up and up. Anton, too. He's healthy. Healthiest boy. Anton is very sick. It's a real rollercoaster ride.

I feel like I'm a bit better. Anton is very red and sweaty, and he has trouble doing the most basic of tasks. Looking great, Ant. I feel as though today I am improved somewhat. I say as I just fall face first in the sand. Yeah.

So we can open one of the doors. And detect magic on Jackson Way and see what's there. Oh, yeah, yeah. I detect magic on door Way and see what's there. Oh yeah, I detect magic on door numero trois. It's a mixture of Italian and French for you. You detect a illusion magic in that direction. A powerful large illusion magic. It's a

holodeck. Everybody in! Let me live up my last moments in peace. We want like major magic, illusion magic, or no magic. We have one side, the other side, so you can check that out as well. But the gang's upstairs. Oh, the gang's upstairs.

Well then, do we want to kind of still be in this room to... Fight them? Yeah, to kind of be like... Or do we want to escape? I don't know. Gotta be careful, because they might do the same thing you did to the ash worms. Oh, true. Illusion room. Illusion room? Sure, why not?

Leave me here, I can fend them over. They might take pity on us if they see him. It's like, sure, mate. Yeah, sure. I will nestle myself amongst the sand in this room facing the entrance, Adam.

You open the doors to a large, long room that has up the opposite end from you an entire wall mirror. The mirror reflects the room that you guys see before you, and it reflects every object in the room. The objects in this room look remarkably fine there's very little decay here a lot of the items here are stone so you fancy that helped prevent them from uh facing too much decay and there's a lot of actual knickknacks here like you see a crystal decanter with some wine glasses around it there's no actual wine, but there's a painting on one of the walls that looks as good as new, pretty much. Huh. And a bunch of other

just miscellaneous objects. I'll also cast Chill Touch on my rooster and send it with them. Alright. Can I walk in? You can enter if you'd like. Can I use my, like, vision, my good eyesight or whatever? Like, I really study the reflection to see what is reflecting

and if anything's not yeah you do that as you're entering the room or do you stay outside i i stay outside and i see i check to see if there's any objects that aren't reflecting or reflecting in in a peculiar manner see if we got any bloody philosophers including our own reflections when you step into the room, Shane, the kind of untouched room that you were once looking at changes almost immediately. And it goes from being brand new almost in appearance to

every other room you've seen here. There's still a lot of this stuff is still in existence, like a lot of the stone equipment. And even the crystal decanter is there. But it looks old. All of it looks decayed and a little destroyed. The mirror, however, remains with that reflected image you originally saw.

One other notable feature in the room is standing... ...up the mirror ghosts. Facing away from you in the mirror is a huddled figure It is not reflected in the mirror, but neither are you Well, the mirror is clearly like an illusion Right

I think it is a ghost woman Man No one else can see this, by the way Oh, okay If you enter the room You see a figure It's probably not great I could try and detect if there's some magic if you can describe where it is i like point where exactly where it is in the back but in the middle

to the right a little and i try to take magic the illusion magic aura that you're detecting here is kind of overpowering anything else you think you get a snippet of another type of magic but you the illusion magic possibly is there to hide whatever it is i express these details to shade right so i guess it's hiding the figure boy the figure slowly rises and turns around to face you. G'day, mate. How you doing, buddy? How you going, mate? This revolting, stooped humanoid appears to be composed of dark grey ash.

So you doing all right? Through which rivets of blood flow like exposed veins. Rivets of blood flow like exposed veins. Its mouth gapes with terrible teeth, and its claws look eager for fresh victims. We're fighting a demon. We're fighting some kind of demon. You think, all right, so, all right, all right. Imagine a mummy that's sort of hunched over.

A Brendan Fraser's? Yeah, but there's no bandages or everything. So just kind of like mummy-shaped with kind of claws. Now, imagine its mouth. Instead of its mouth, it's kind of like a Sarlacc pit. So it's kind of like a butthole mouth. Full of teeth. Full of teeth.

Toothy butthole. Yeah, like an average butthole mouth. Toothy. Chompy. And then just covered in veins. Visible, visible veins. May I? Hearing this description. You can't see it yet.

Oh, fair, fair. I say to Shane, hey, Shane, there's no doors in this room, right, that you can see? Other than what we came in? No, there's no other doors. No. Well, do you want to just leave? Yeah. And shut the door?

Well, before we get to that. A little bit. I'm with you, mate, but. I'll take a grain. Geese a sack. Well, before we get to that, in a little bit... I'm with you, mate, but... I'll take a grain. Geese a sack. It's not a bad idea. Is my rooster tricked by the illusion? Can you count the squares between them, please?

One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh, I guess he was going to get to attack you this time. Move it right up to him, please. Bullshit. It moves completely silently across the sand on the ground. i don't know if i mentioned this but there's sand all over the ground you said it was like every other room and every other room is just chockers with sand and as it moves across the sand you notice that it doesn't run or it

doesn't sink into the sand it moves very gracefully over the sand as if it were a creature born to the desert i don't want to you put it in a box or anything, but I reckon he'd be real good at ballet. Like if you could take one back to the big city. The ability that he's using is called Sand Dancer. Educate him. Educate him. You know, give him a proper education.

Teach him how to dance. Like he could like. Use that natural talent. Just be a beautiful, a beautiful, almost like a wizard on the dance floor. It grabs you and bites you in your exposed neck. You're going to become one now. Eight points of damage.

Fuck off. Time for you to become a sand vein, man. Look out. Ha ha. Hang on. Nah, he just got plagued. In your face, thing. That's what it takes.

You get a plague. That's the best move in the game. Contract a plague so that others get the plague off you. Fuck yeah, plague wizard. Man, how cool. Disease wizard. Then it is your turn, Shane. Take a step back, close the doors. Yes. When you close the door,

I'm going to say out of initiative, by the way, you close the door and you hear on the other side the rattling of it trying to throw itself against the door. I'm hoping it'll tire itself out do we have anything that we could brace the door the door opens inwards not outwards and the creature doesn't seem to understand that so it's just throwing itself at the door so long as the door holds we're fine yeah you'd be fine not good not good Not great mate Not great How's the neck

So look How you tell me I can't look So Is it alright I'm How good am I at lying And how good am I

At believing a lie How much do you want to I'm like Oh you're gonna be okay Thanks I feel good I feel good Got rid of those shakes.

Almost like the bite reinvigorated me. Like it made me more powerful. Go green. It's probably fine. It's fine. You seem assured. Hey, hey, hey. Got you back.

And your neck. Not going in that room. After maybe a minute, the banging stops. Oh, perfect. Fix that problem. All right. Okay, room number two. The nomad.

Nomad room. Nomad. Nomad. Nomad. The muggo room. Perfect. A long corridor. Oh, no.

Another ghoul at the end. Another sphinx. I need you for later. It opens to a corridor which you can see intersects with another corridor and then continues onwards. But we can't see what's at the end of the onwards. Eventually the light that you cast ends.

You can early sun stick and give you a sun stick. I'll go to the T intersection. And I follow at a decent distance. I like that our marching order is basically like, Zammett at the front, Shanks a little bit behind, Jackson the other room. Different rooms living. With gloom.

No dying. I'll send my barista with you. Can you detect... Can I describe that thing to... I'll describe that thing to gloom, by the way. Don't go in there. Don't go in there. Okay. I wasn't going to go anywhere without you.

Good. Just in case you thought maybe I should. That's not. Nothing worth it. The crossroads ends in three separate doors going in each direction. So a door going Jacksonwood, a door going you would, and a door going me would. No doors go Shankswood.

Well, you haven't excavated in that direction. That's true. We did stop the moment we got there. I detect magic on all three doors. We'll figure out what's going on. No. No, no idea. I'm looking forward to the mercenaries come down and seeing if they just slit my throat. If the mercenaries come down, we'll trick them into dealing with ghosts. That was my plan.

They come down and I'm like, we have been taken. There is a grand treasure in that room right there. You detect no magic in all three directions. Let's go. Jackson, right? Yeah. Yeah.

You worked well last time. Yeah. You open that door. Yeah. First thing that happens is when you open the door, you hear click. And you're like, ah. Spears from just above you jut downwards. Just shield it, you'll be right.

You step out of the way just in time, and they retract slowly. All right. The room beyond is a very odd mix, mishmash of that sandy, dusty room that you've been encountering so far. There's, you know, ancient temple rooms. Yeah. And then some sort of giant water tank.

I'm so thirsty. Always drink the water. So the water tank is on the opposite end. That little black die I put roughly in the center of the room, that's a small pedestal. And next to the small pedestal are two jugs. Oh, I like puzzles it's like they are diehard 3 jug puzzle oh yeah can we just diehard 3 this let's all go watch diehard 3 otherwise

known as with a vengeance and just make sure we got the puzzle all right um is there any chance adam watched that movie and he's like I'm going to use this exact puzzle. Are the jugs of different sizes? There are two different sizes, yeah. You can also see the Elven script for the number four at the base of the pedestal. Okay, I check the floor for where the trap mechanism

was. You step into the room and with a cracking sound you appear inside the water tank. Well, alright. All I did was check the way the trap was. I didn't even walk in. I'm too excited. Am I drowning?

Yeah, you begin to drown. Wait, so, okay, the tank has a roof on the top. No, there's no roof, but when you try to swim out, you hit a solid surface. Oh, fuck. Oh, that's terrifying. Oh, shits. In one moment,

while I explain drowning rules. I was like, alright, so there's a trap there, so where do you go? This is why I fucking love D&D. I like that I'm pretty oblivious to what will probably be your death. I have this feeling in the back of my head

that actually I'll die last but not in a good way because you know we've been careful with my body not careful with yours you better know this die hard you better remember die hard 3 like the back of your fucking hand it's just that

obviously there's like a number 4 which means you've got 4 litres so obviously 1 is going to be like five and three and you pull that. So you've got two leaders and you have whatever. But it's kind of like... But if I walk in there, I'm going to be in a water tank. No conferring with the other players. You cannot talk with them.

So I don't even know. You know what I mean? I think all you've got to do is just get your sword and be like, bang! You have 168 seconds before he begins drowning. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to set a timer. Oh, no. You have 168 seconds to solve this puzzle

before I start making him roll for drowning. Oh, God. And I can't confer. No one can help him unless... I don't know what's going on. Can I do a quick look around in the tank to see if there's anything in the tank that can maybe help me? Using a timer in a game.

That's so good. Shit. Alright. That's the best. This is supposed to be turn-based, not real-time. Fuck you, Adam. Time starts now. Alright, Adam. What's in the room? Okay, two jugs. One has the Elven script for five. One has the Elven script for three. The pedestal has the Elven script for

four. Alright. so, okay, so again, go fill up the five one with water. Yep, that happens. Cool, pour that into the three one. Alright, I'm gonna go a little slowly to represent you needing

to move around and get stuff done. So then I'm left with two liters in one jug. Pour that into the four-litre one and do it again so there's four litres. There's no four-litre jug. There's a pedestal with the number four on it. Fuck you!

You've got to get four litres into the five-litre jug, Samit! No, but that's what you described. What you said was... I can't tell you What you were doing was right? Yeah, if he fails two rolls in a row. He's just dead To and then we got three and then we pull that out You could see something's obviously happening. You enter the room. All right.

Okay. What is going on? We're going to put four liters, and I've got a five liter and a three liter jug. Four liters has to be in the five liter jug. Basically, it's diehard rules. Diehard revenge. I have not seen that film.

I just need... Do we have another container? Do we have another container? Nothing that is a liter. I can't do maths. I just need a water we have another container? Do we have another container? Nothing to dieseliter. I can't do maths. I just need a water skin. Water skin. Sick.

I pour out my water skin and pour two liters into that. You pour water into the water skin and it disappears. Can I just go up to the... Okay. So then we're going to pour out three liters

and then we're going to have... Oh, a better way of doing that would have been like, the water skins are gallons, you need litres. All right, so we have two litres in the three-litre jugs. 40 seconds. And then I'm going to pour... Oh, yep, yep, and then fill it in, and then pour one litre into the three litres.

There we go, done. Sorry? All right, so... I'm stopping it so you can show you're working. So we poured five litres into the thing, put then that into three litres. Five litres into the three-litre one. Yep. Which means you've got two litres in the five-litre and a full three-litre.

Yep. And then we're going to pour out the three-litre one into the ground. Yeah. And we're going to pour that two litres into the three-litre one. Two litres into the three-litre, yeah. And then we're going to fill the five-litre one. Yeah. And then we're going to pour one litre into the three-litre one.

And then we have four litres. You do it. Okay. And then we're going to pour one liter into the three liter one. And then we have four liters. You do it. Okay. That happens. You can surface. The invisible barrier is gone. That was a shame. Even though I have a swim skill of one.

You had 33 seconds left. Good for you. I just want to let you know that if I'd been in his position, you'd be pretty dead by now. Good fun. Goodness now. Good fun. Goodness me. The stress. Okay, new rule.

Never had to do math since like about 10 years ago. Do you remember last night when I was plotting some stuff out for this dungeon and I was giggling like a fucking idiot and you're like, what is this? And I'm like, I'll tell you tomorrow. This? This. God damn it. idiot and you're like what is this and i'm like i'll tell you tomorrow this this god damn new pitch if we enter a room and there's no seal or a door let's just not go in okay there's no joy for us there the pedestal clicks down when you put the weight on it scrim is able to get out of the

water tank and the pedestal splits in two and the little cog piece comes out of the pedestal splits in two, and the little cog piece comes out of the pedestal. I guess we do have to do these rooms. Puzzles! All right. Cog. It's funny because you're, you know like the D&D is for Nerds logo has you menacingly having your hands over,

because you kind of jazz hands. Puzzles! D&D is for puzzles! All right. Anything else in this room? So you take the jazzed it. Puzzles. Puzzles. D&D is for puzzles. All right. Anything else in this room? So you take the cog? Yeah. Okay.

All right. I got a cog, so I'm guessing the other two. Any other... Anything else in this room? No, the room's barren otherwise. All right. Let's go, Joelwood. Okay, we go, Joelwood.

Super glad I'm sick. Enjoy puzzles, dickheads. Get Gloom in here. He might be good at this uh do i do but yeah i already did some magic on these doors yeah is it no magic yeah we should call down to gloom he knows stuff glue's got a fucking he could have solved the math problem why did i go i'm in no way prepared for joelwood room is this tiny little garden shed of a room and in it there is a small mechanical looking device with one two three four empty slots for gears ah and a lever is there any like um are they gears different shapes it's gears of different shapes it looks like i'm guessing i'm gonna put the gear that we got

to match that gear all right you put it in it fits fits perfectly. Click. Find the gears. One of four. Three more? Three more holes. All right, there's three more. One. We've got to fight that fucking... Adam Carnivale,

loving life. Let's go to the Adam Wood one. This one? Yeah, so the one across from the room where you nearly drowned Into another room where you nearly drowned Oh man, this is my The water room was my favourite puzzle But only by like tiny amount

There's another puzzle room where I'm like super excited for you guys to find I'm not I'm gonna die Puzzles Fucking puzzles Also that room opened and I'm like super excited for you guys to find. I'm not. I'm gonna die. Puzzles. Fucking puzzles. Also that room opened and I was like yay puzzles and then I fucking drowned. You open the door and do you remember that half scorpion

creature? Another one charges you. That's not a puzzle. Adam that's just a scorpion. The room inside is completely destroyed. This thing has destroyed the room and made it its home. So it killed the puzzle, basically? We were supposed to take the eggs and give it to this scorpion.

Oh, of course! No? Well, I guess we found that... There's no puzzle to this room. You gotta kill this creature. Hang on, we can figure out this puzzle. My favorite puzzle. Combat. Combat.
