Starting point is 00:01:51 nerds adventure. I'm Jackson Bailey and I'll be playing the part of Anton de Saussure. I'm Michael Shanks and I'll be playing the part of Squim Norton. And I'm Joel Zammett playing the part of Shane Knoll. As always, I'm Adam, your Dungeon Master. Previously. Your camel does not appreciate being whipped one little bit, and so rears backwards and you fall off the back. This level is entirely empty. It's just one large open area, except for a single stone jutting out in the dead center. Traveller, you stand upon a place known as Alapomanda,
Starting point is 00:02:24 secret place in my tongue. We have buried beneath here something we are not proud of. Something evil. Watch your backs. I know she's healing us right now. Guys, did anything awesome happen in the last 60 seconds that I missed? Literally, we only watched you as you reeled around the crib and everyone got out their dicks and was just like...
Starting point is 00:02:42 My name's Squim is an acronym, and each letter stands for something, and the M on it stands for Mr. Hands. A massive crack or rift appears in the seal, and the seal breaks neatly in two. She doesn't say anything, but you know she blushes when you say that. You're in. I'm detecting magic in her heart.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Moving from the slaves' quarters back to the main room, you now have one less door to search. Sick. Jackson, can you push the little dice so it's a trip here? All right. Where are we going? So we're going back to that. Roll it again, Jack.
Starting point is 00:03:19 What is it? Six. All right, we'll go number four. Number four? The blue. I wasn't expecting that. Okay. It opens into expecting that. Okay. It opens into a very long corridor.
Starting point is 00:03:29 It stretches out beyond where your torches... This isn't exactly the scale. Yeah, right. So it stretches out to where your torches and even your extended elven eyesight can't see anymore. All right, let's just open the other door as well. I have a... And I know you don't like me using spells, but I have a...
Starting point is 00:03:47 With light, do I have to be holding that, or can I move it? You cast light on an object, and then the light stays with the object. So you could cast it on, say, for example, a grain of sand, and chuck the grain of sand. What do I have? Do I have, like, beats?
Starting point is 00:04:02 I've got a crossbow. You could cast it on my bolt, and then I could shoot the bolt down. Okay, I'll do that. It's like some sort of weird like dropping the light down the hole. But horizontally. Yeah, and I can shoot up to 80 feet. You can shoot beyond that.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You just have massive penalties to accuracy. Okay, cool. But you shooting down a corridor is not that big a deal. Yeah, that's just true. I cast on it. Whip, light. You cast light on the crossbow bolt and fire it down the really long corridor.
Starting point is 00:04:27 It looks like the corridor, it's hard to judge exactly, but you would say the corridor's maybe 250 feet long. It's a long corridor. Let's table that for last. Come back that, and we'll go through the other one. Same concept.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Cautiously. Move the die there, because that represents a door. Oh, cool. Walk through. Shield race. Another short corridor with a door at the end. Yep. Walk towards that door.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Highs or lows? Highs. Highs. It happens again. A spear comes out of the wall to the side of you. It's a different side this time. So actually, your shield wasn't in the right place. But once again,
Starting point is 00:05:07 it kind of only comes out a little bit. So you don't get... Snap it off, negative, full spear. Sneaky. Here you go, Gloom. That works. Gloom takes it again. Fascinating, fascinating, he says. I sarcastically get down on my hands and legs and like spider walk, but not with magic, just across the floor. Because I'm like, oh, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I'm like, I know that I wasted it on the last one. You have it infinitely. You didn't waste it. I know, but it was like, I was holding on to that card. Whatever. I mean, I'm not mad. I just wasted it.
Starting point is 00:05:39 You know when you wasted it? By climbing down regularly instead of casting spider climb. That's true. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Next time we're going down. Or going up. Going up with you is going to be easy. You can cast that on others too, can't you?
Starting point is 00:05:51 No, not for him. Nah. Because he can cast it infinitely. It would be a little OP if he could cast it. Then just, if he has it, everyone has it. Nah, fair. I'm never going to use that fucking floor again. This is sick. Yeah, actually, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, cast it infinitely. Cast from the ceiling, mate. Yeah. It's not Dungeons and Dragons. It's another role-playing system where they have similar to that. So a spellcaster gets unlimited magic. But there's, you know how if you're in space, your muscles atrophy because you don't use them as much? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So in this role-playing system, forget the name of it, dragon something. But if you're a spellcaster, you use a spell to make yourself super strong, that kind of happens to you. That's the best. Or if you're a spellcaster who throws fireballs, eventually cold starts affecting you so much more. Right. It's just a funny little thing that I thought was cool. Sounds great.
Starting point is 00:06:36 That sounded real sarcastic. It was. Sounds great, Adam. Really nice. Sounds great, you little dragon game. You little dragon game for nerds. Sounds fine. Now let's get back to Dungeons and Dragons.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It's a role playing game. Can't remember the name of it. It's got dragons in it. Some dungeons sometimes are dragons, you know. So, can I get a it's called marching order, so who's where? At the back. Yep. At the back. Or should I be in the middle?
Starting point is 00:07:05 No, no, no. You're at the back. At the back. You're basically next to Gloom. Uh-huh. I'm worse than Gloom. Because at least if something comes from the rear, you can attack it, which we don't. I do have spells.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Would you like to be before or after Lilip? Before would mean behind Shane. After would mean it's Shane, Lilip, you. I'll go in front. It's a bit more chivalrous. All right, cool. So, you open the door, Shane, and this room is very similar to the last Slave's Quarters.
Starting point is 00:07:32 It's obviously the same room for the same purpose, with one notable exception. No, close it. Okay. Close it, shut the door, go. This large eyeless worm is as big as a horse fuck what a phrase and the way you said it made it sound like somebody on like antiques roadshow being like this large eyeless worm is as big as a horse and in some circles can go for as much as two thousand dollars it is covered in
Starting point is 00:07:59 a thin shitness layer of purple plates a nasty stinger Quivers at the end of its tail Alright This one's not in the book It's the paper I printed out It looks like a zerg Mixed with a starship trooper bug It looks real quite friendly In its head
Starting point is 00:08:20 It looks like it's going Oh hey guys It also looks like it's full of spikes Or like a centipede where you've cut off two-thirds of its legs. On its tail it has a scythe. That's the stinger. Yeah, it's a Gyarados from Pokemon, but purple rather than blue. You said it was eyeless, it looks like an eye. It is an eye.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I think it's got eyes. Alright. Oh, it can be an ass-hit in the desert. Not supposed to read, sorry. Unfortunately can be an asset in the desert. Not supposed to read. Unfortunately, we're not in the desert. I never really explained it. Now, I have alchemist's fire. I usually get very mad.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh, that's like the thing from Gods of Egypt that like the two ladies are riding around. Oh, man, that film. Yeah, yeah. Fuck, I love that film. I only watched it like a week ago. It's so bad. I kind of liked it like it's just in a shitty way oh yeah yeah it's like it's it's like it's a it wants to be a heist movie
Starting point is 00:09:11 but it's not quite because it's weird because both factions are kind of doing a heist at the same time and the good guys are getting all their the the team together to do the heist yeah the villain is also doing a heist by collecting the other things, but you just don't know that until the final act, and you're like, oh, okay, I guess this is happening. Ah, piss yellow. Keep having the conversation. I'm just doing background stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:35 No, I just blew. I'll do, I'll do poos. Yeah, I'll do poos. I'll do poos. See you later. I'll do poos. See you when you get back. That film has, like, such a good potential a good potential, but did it miss its mark?
Starting point is 00:09:48 And it's like the worst kind of quips ever. Like the tone of the main kind of kid was so annoying. Just frustrating. Garbage. True garbage. But no, I highly recommend watching it because, man, Gerard Butler knows the film he's in. He's great.
Starting point is 00:10:04 He's real good. I was into him. Everyone else is like, this is a serious film. He's like, no, no, no the film he's in. He's great. He's real good. I was into him. Everyone else is like, this is a serious film. He's like, no, no, no, don't be foolish. Come on, guys. And like Paranormal Activity, The Marked Ones. And the two before that,
Starting point is 00:10:14 where they made that sneaky transition to comedy without anyone realising. I tuned out of that scene. Oh, Paranormal Activity, The Marked Ones is amazing. So this is movie hour on D&D's for nerds, but hey, here the fuck we are. So you know how in Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 like it's a horror film and it's like oh no this poor family is besieged by ghosts they don't know what to do and things get worse and worse and
Starting point is 00:10:32 worse until the family is attacked by the devil that's the fucking plot of all of them the march ones is like what if instead of a family it was some spanish youths yeah and they get hassled and hassled and hassled and they're like fuck it we're getting our cousins and they all get in a pickup truck shotguns and go to the place where all the witches are just start shooting them wait so it gets like a spanish gang together they're just like kids and they're not they're not spanish they're like mexican i think but it's just like so amazing where you're like oh these are the beats that it's supposed to hit but instead of everyone being like what do we do they're just like no fuck it let's get them it's amazing does it work do they do they kill heaps of witches then they which like full witches the movie ended up being about witches all of them are apparently like the witches bring the
Starting point is 00:11:14 day it's stupid but that movie is just a comedy it's just a straight-up comedy but nobody knew and nobody watched it for that and it's it's like one of my favorite films it's so good and actually the two before are funny as well but they're like sneaky funny no they're like sneaky funny I reckon anyway then the latest one was just true garbage it's a bit too spooky for me the latest one was just like here's the monster
Starting point is 00:11:34 you can see it on a magic camera sorry excuse me they see it on a magic digital camera they just find it in the attic and they can see it. So the camera's in the attic? No, they find the camera in the attic. They find the camera.
Starting point is 00:11:50 With the camera, they can see the devil, Toby. That's what he's called. So this camera is there for this very reason. Yeah, I think it was made by witches. So the witch has made a camera to see the devil. The devil, the whole good of it. But does the camera look like a camera camera? Yeah but it's like
Starting point is 00:12:05 It's like Almost like a Like a Like a cyberpunk camera Right Like an old VHS camcorder That's been No more like Aetherpunk
Starting point is 00:12:13 It's been magicked up Right It's real stupid It's a bad film And it ruined the franchise Which I quite like Thank you for listening The movie hour on D&D is for nerds
Starting point is 00:12:23 That did not go for an hour Keep going We've got a stall for time Anyway Alright, this horse worm Where even were we? Yeah, the horse worm This horse worm
Starting point is 00:12:35 Alright, good If it's eyeless If we're all real quiet We can just go How do the doors work with this one? Is it like a swingy open? Is it a pulley up? Is it a nice quiet door?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Nah, because if one of those pulls up He's like, oh, come here Slam it down on his head Rancor it How many pulley up doors do you know? I don't know I wasn't around I was imagining a garage
Starting point is 00:12:56 Yes, I was And 50,000 years ago Alice might have been like Garages are the best doors It attacks you, it goes first. So, it just charges. It opens its mouth, moves it and leaves all of us.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So, Adam, what door is it? No, it can't. Adam, no, please. What kind of door is it, Adam? I assume it's just like a metal door. I mean, a stone door. In or out? Either way. Because I can just close it. No. The ash worms are sick.
Starting point is 00:13:29 So, Ikea. Sorry? Is it an indoor or an outdoor? It's indoor. No, does the door close inward or outward? Oh, it opens inward. So, you pushed the door. So, I can pull it closed. But you could push it closed.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, that's how doors work. Well spotted. That's how doors work. Well spotted. That's tourist doors. So is it a double hinge? What do you mean a double hinge? So if I pushed it open, I have to pull it closed. I can't also
Starting point is 00:13:58 then just keep pulling it open as well. No, no, it doesn't go the other way. They haven't invented that technology. They barely had doors. So the Ashworm sl go the other way. No. That's what I'm asking. They haven't invented that technology. They barely had doors. Okay, so the Ash Worm slams up against you, Shane. And how close was everyone standing? I was up the back. I assume not very close.
Starting point is 00:14:18 So could you reach out and touch your good buddy, Shane? I want to say no, but I was picturing. Yeah, I think I was. I think I was. And Heisel, Lowe's for Lillip. Lowe's. Lowe's. She was standing right behind you.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And how far were you standing? I was told to stand quite far away. Quite far away. All right. That's not on me. That's how everyone's instructions were. So, Shane and... Swim. Swim. I'll go i'll go i'll go poo brown again i'm feeling a
Starting point is 00:14:48 brown brown boy today red the ashworm slams into you shane yeah you go five feet back oh shane you slam into swim you go five feet back. Squim, you slam into Lilip. Lilip does not go five feet back. You and Lilip are sharing... It's very cozy, quite tight. I make a quip like, normally I buy your dinner first, and
Starting point is 00:15:18 everybody cries. Then everyone takes damage. Normally I buy your dinner first. Ah! So is everyone standing? Presumably, yeah. Unless someone lied down. No, I thought maybe the worm had knocked us.
Starting point is 00:15:31 12 damage to everyone. Except obviously the people standing too far back. Me and Gloom. Shall we just go, Gloom? I got an idea. A dangerous idea. Super good. No. I'm happy for you.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It involves you. Yeah. Why did you take six damage? I had you on only 50. When was the last time you took damage? Probably the wraith. Wraith. Heat stroke.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Wraith didn't do anything to you. Oh, no. He fell on me. I fell on him. I fell on him. That's why I'm on six. No. 11.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Oh, that's right. I forgot again. Oh, excuse me. Everyone takes 12 damage and a fortitude save because of poison from the stinger when it slams you. Only the first person, so it's fine. Hey! So that's the good news. Would you like the bad news?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yes, please. No, I don't. No, thank you. I'm pretty smug up the back here. first person so it's fine hey hey so that's the good news would you like the bad news yes please no i don't no thank you i'm pretty smug up the back here i just took your whole hp as the damage i should not get near this work not at all you should climb out of this hole and go back to Back to Opona. You lose. Oh, goodness. Goodness. Six points of constitution. Oh, shit. Oh, good. So. What's your constitution at the moment? Is it 10?
Starting point is 00:16:54 It's negative. Oh. It's 12. No. That'll be 10 for me. Yours is eight. Mine's eight. His is 10.
Starting point is 00:17:02 So your total hit points go down by 3 times 4 is 12. Yeah, great. And so do your current hit points. So your max went from 56 to 44. And your current went from whatever it was before to 26. That's not bad. That's fine. That's just like 6 more than I used to have.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Sick. And in a minute, you will need to make a secondary save or it happens again. Lilip. Lilip. Lilip, heal me. Lilip can't fix her con damage, though. She can fix his.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Not yours. His is from poison. Yours is from... Ghosts. The creature drained it out of you. Lilip, I don't feel great, but hey. Bullshit.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Fuck, that's a good response. And then it is Squim's turn. How high is the roof of this place? I'm asking for like a friend. Say if a friend of mine wanted to spider walk onto the ceiling, might he be out of relative
Starting point is 00:18:00 reach? The corridor is maybe 15 feet tall, so if you climbed up onto the roof the ashworm would need to rear right back up to be able to reach you but it could reach it could but it would be harder for it yeah you'd be kind of out of the way well i i might do i might i i run to the top of the corridor and eldritch plus if i have if i have room to that. You can spider climb up to the... Oh, wait. Did you have spider...
Starting point is 00:18:27 You had spider climb from before. So you still have spider climb, so you can do that. Yeah, that's fine. Awesome. And I'm right above it, hopefully, and I go... Down into its brain. You blast downwards. Your...
Starting point is 00:18:40 The blood rushes to your head. So when you're upside down firing you're a little woozy and your shot goes wide and misses you kick up a lot of sand and just blast a section of the sand wall just away but there you miss the somehow the ashworm which is kind of as large as the corridor you're woozy so it's all right hey you hit maybe the wall or something but you are now out of the ashworms not line of sight but out of its way so you don't think it's going to attack out of reach is what i'm quietly singing to myself and hoping lilip can hear no i'm not gonna roll it's going to but then i remembered you're in the middle of combat
Starting point is 00:19:20 she doesn't care no matter what. I'll never stop caring, Lillip. Shane, it's your turn. Right. Can I challenge this one? A fighting challenge? Or that's just for people who can speak my language? Yeah, you kind of need to share a language. Soz, mate. Totes Soz. So what does plus one AC mean? It just means you get extra AC.
Starting point is 00:19:41 So your armor class, instead of being 21, yeah, will be 22. And what does that mean? You're harder to hit. That includes its stinger, yeah? Yes. Oh, good. Ah, that.
Starting point is 00:19:53 All right. That barely counts as anything. You can still attack if you want. Oh, cool. Ah, sick, then yes. Yes, please. You hit it. You slashed it with your bastard sword,
Starting point is 00:20:07 dealing eight points of damage. You cut a couple of... Oh, does it have legs? It doesn't have legs. It has little spines. You cut a bunch of its spikes off. Tink, tink, tink. As they drop to the ground. Blood goes everywhere and it doesn't scream.
Starting point is 00:20:18 No, it makes no noise. I want to call out... It's generous. To Gloom as well. Is this 50,000 years old? I feel bad. How old is this creature? What?
Starting point is 00:20:30 Real old. Anton? To pass a thing to a person and to have that person pass a thing to another person, what's the go? Is that a turn or is passing it my turn? Are you throwing it or handing it off? I'm handing it off.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I'm basically going to hand an alchemist fire all the way down to my boy, Shane. You have to move up so you're behind Lillip. You've got to get close. Yeah. Free action to give it to her. She, free action to pass it along. Okay, I'll do that. And then I can still attack?
Starting point is 00:20:59 Yes, you can, yeah. Use your scorching ray. I just want to mirror image myself to spray you. Sure. No, I will use ray of enfeeblement. That can't hit us, right? Can I do it over the head? Highs or lows?
Starting point is 00:21:21 No, no, no, no, no. I didn't say highs or lows. I'm asking a question. He can hit someone else, yeah. With that knowledge, I would not cast it knowing full well that I could hit someone else. I will give chill touch to my chicken and beep, beep, beep.
Starting point is 00:21:36 And I will also use, what the fuck do you call it? Maximize. Sudden maximize. So, the chicken reaches up And sort of just clutches at it Yeah pecks Goes fucking at it
Starting point is 00:21:51 Everyone here has seen a rooster lose its shit At someone The rooster loses its shit at the ashworm That's the best The ashworm takes 6 points of cold damage Gotcha And loses a point of strength. Woo!
Starting point is 00:22:06 You're welcome. Then my rooster gets killed. Then it is Lilip's turn. Lilip puts her hands on your back. Hot face, Shane. Shane is also appropriate. I'm not super pleased about this. A little jealous.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Shane, you recover four points of constitution. Nice. Lucky. Back to normal? No. Nearly. Almost. Doing better than me, son. I think Gloom is doing better than you. I'm doing real bad. Things are not good for me.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Does Gloom ever get a turn? I don't think he can do anything. Gloom cannot fight. Can you use wands? No. Not at all? He's got wands. No, can you use them, though?
Starting point is 00:22:50 I mean, yeah. Because, like, you know, you're useless as shit. No, I can hit him with a chicken. That's true. I'm fine. You could ask for a wand. No, I don't need a wand. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Don't be foolish. Good news, bad news. No. Who wants it? Bad wand. All right. Don't be foolish. Good news, bad news. No. Who wants it? Bad news. Bad news. Bad news? All right.
Starting point is 00:23:11 The bad news is that it's going after the chicken. Oh! Good news. Sorry about that noise. Yeah. Your chicken is a slippery little son of a bitch. Good on you, Romeo. It dives down at the chicken and just eats fucking shit.
Starting point is 00:23:30 With a crunch, the ashworm slams its face into the ground and kicks up a lot of sand but does not do anything effective. You're welcome. I can just keep Romeo running around. It's my turn? Can I summon Earthen Grasp to grab the stinger on the back of the worm so it can't leash it around? You can try. Success is not guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Okay, I'll try. I'll go the yellow. Always bet on piss. Always bet on pills. Shouldn't have bet on piss. The Earthen Hand bursts out of the ground. Bang, bang, bang, bang. bet on piss. Always bet on pills. Shouldn't have bet on piss. The earthen hand bursts out of the ground. Never bet on piss. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Looks around trying to find the stinger, but the stinger's whipping around
Starting point is 00:24:09 so hard and so fast that the hand can't get a grab of it. It'll keep trying, though. Well, that's good. Don't tell the rooster to go near the hand. Crush. Just like feathers. By the way, the hand is as big as a man.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, I figured it was big. It's a medium creature. Hopefully this dumb thing will attack the hand. Yeah, and get got by the hand. And then we can all get it. Throw your alchemist's fire at him. Then it is... Oh, did Lilip hand me the alchemist's fire
Starting point is 00:24:41 as a free action? Oh yeah, Lilip hands forward. Seek. You throw the alchemist's fire? a free action? Oh, yeah. Lillipant's forward. Seek. Go look. You throw the Alchemist's Fire? In its mouth. You will take a point of damage from Splashback. And so will the chicken. How house is your chicken?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Mass of 4 HP. Get out of there, Romeo. Get out of there, Romeo. Do you throw the Alchemist's Fire? It'll hurt it bad. Ah, it's fine. Kill the chicken. How weak can we make you, Jack?
Starting point is 00:25:08 It's only his experience. It's fine. Goes down a level. Lose some spells. How neutered can I become? Lose some more hit points. Go down to eight.
