Just head to santspantsplus.com and sign up today. Hello and welcome to episode 9 of Buried Beneath, a D&D is for Nerds adventure. I'm your Dungeon Master, Adam. I'm Jackson Bailey and I'll be playing the part of Anton DeSorcia.
Starting point is 00:01:22 I'm Michael Shanks, I'll be playing the part of Squim Norton. And I'm Joel Zammett and I'll be playing the part of Anton DeSorcia. I'm Michael Shanks. I'll be playing the part of Squim Norton. And I'm Joel Zammett, and I'll be playing the part of Shane Knoll. Previously. In the room, there are holes dotted all over the place. It looks like the Ashworms kind of made this place a little bit of a mess. Let's sleep in the other room. We all owe our lives to a little bit of a mess, I think, in many ways. Oh, we are playing safe after that schmuzzle.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Fuck. Safe as hell. That was a mess. This one is somewhat diminished with age, but not nearly as much. This room is a lot more pristine. From what you can see, it looks like a battle of some sort, but you need to get a closer look. Not a battle.
Starting point is 00:01:56 It was a war, a war between the elves and the dwarves. I'm now picturing the special beam cannon that Piccolo uses in Dragon Ball Z, where it's kind of like a beam that's special, kind of like a cannon. Ah, yeah. Well, it appears we have what I like to refer to as your ducks in a row. Can I get, like, down to, like, within the corridor
Starting point is 00:02:18 so that it's, like, a house? The previous corridor that you were coming from? Yeah, yeah. The long one. Yeah. But so I can still see it in attack, but just so it can't get me. We're doing this fight like how you're actually meant to do a fight in D&D,
Starting point is 00:02:28 like wizards providing support whilst the fighter tanks the damage. We return to our heroes locked in mortal combat with an animated pile of armor currently being grappled by Squim's earthen fist. It's time. Sue, this time, it does try to get out because it's not being... I'm going to go... Oh, piss yellow poo brown. It's a big choice. It's a tough one. time It does try to get out Because it's not being I'm gonna go
Starting point is 00:02:46 Oh, piss yellow, poo brown It's a big choice It's a tough one I'm gonna go I'm gonna go poo brown Poo brown Piss yellow, fuck you lost That's true
Starting point is 00:02:53 Should have been on piss Always been on piss I don't know Sometimes Adam has this look on his face That I'm like What could be confusing about the two of them? But then, you know, I'm not I guess because he's strength or something.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Next level genius. I think it might have been some degree of critical. No. No. Usually that face means, oh, I've got to do math. All right. Fair. Not always, but often.
Starting point is 00:03:15 It would... Paper, scissors, rock me. Okay. Sure. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. I just spoke going rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Paper, scissors, rock. That was great. That was like six rocks and one paper. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Yeah! It breaks out. That was the greatest moment of my life
Starting point is 00:03:45 Oh my god That was insane Oh wow Okay Who knew paper scissors rock could be that heart bound I need a I need a moment I need a cigarette
Starting point is 00:03:58 The creature bursts out Who's standing next to it? Oh this bugger lug Just you? Yeah it's just you now It swings at you. Oh no. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Oh Danny boy, the pipes are calling. Oh Danny boy. It's a crit hat. Crit hat on our boy. Broken nose. Normal damage And one charisma damage
Starting point is 00:04:27 And one bleed Beautiful good looks This would make me more handsome I'm rugged I'm into it One less charisma Sometimes one less charisma is one more charisma You get punched in the face
Starting point is 00:04:43 And you get that kind of sexy Bad boy Five points of damage Sometimes one less charisma is one more charisma. Yeah, like you get punched in the face and you get that kind of sexy... Yeah, bad boy. Bad boy. I think you're a bad boy now. Five points of damage. Negative one charisma. And, oh, sorry, six points of damage.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Every round you will take a hit point damage. Super good. Until a heal check or you are magically healed. Yep. Then it is... Oh, wait, why am I looking at that? That didn't tell me anything. Anton.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Sorry. I really want to use Raven Feebleman, but it fucked me last time. Surely, statistically, I'm good. He's not going to fuck me again. Raven Feebleman on the giant armor man. Can he aim it so it doesn't hit me? I'm doing my best to aim properly. Do I just have bad eyes?
Starting point is 00:05:23 Some new dice. Okay. So pick a die. Just remember last time? Some new dice Just remember last time Halloween orange Just remember last time this happened We had to wait a week for me to be healed again Hey! Bambino! Lows
Starting point is 00:05:37 No, come on Adam fucking Lord almighty Please don't shane how am i bad at firing spells as you lift your bastard sword you were doing so well no a beam of pure magical vampiric energy soars perilously close to your head. Oh, thank God. Strikes the creature dead center in its chest. And you look behind you to see Anton slowly draining the creature of energy.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Look like, oh, my goodness. Oh, sacrible. The creature loses another five points of strength. Oh, shit. Nice. Negative six now. Fuckin' hell. Shit. It creature loses another five points of strength. Oh, shit. Nice. Negative six now. Fuckin' it. Shit.
Starting point is 00:06:28 It's gotta be running out of health. Fuck. You're stronger than it right now, Anton. No, wait, no, it's still stronger than you. Goodness. Then it is Lillip's turn. Lillip fires her bow again. Good one, Lillip.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Certainly gonna help. Hits this time, dealing three points of damage. Oh, okay. That's decent. Then back to the top. Shane. All right. I will attack him again.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Can't really do much else. I'll attack him. That's the struggle of a fighter. Yeah. You're like, I got real good, like, actions and stuff for specific circumstances, but often I just end up hitting it with my sword. You deal nine points of damage in total. Your sword cuts through a swathe of it, tearing out bits of armor and sword.
Starting point is 00:07:11 We can loot its body. That'll be fun. That will be funny. Because it's like- Its body is the loot. Its body's the loot. We're fighting animated loot right now. Squim.
Starting point is 00:07:19 How tall are the roofs in this place? The ceiling? Another 15 feet. So if I jumped off the roof into an elbow drop onto it, hypothetically, that could be bad. You would probably do yourself more harm. Skewer. Straight through the cheek.
Starting point is 00:07:34 My dream for this quest is to get above someone, Eldritch blast them, and then as they're shattering into blast bits, I elbow drop. Macho man style but but maybe next time um you can just blast him and then like yeah what you want to do is work towards a special an invocation a spell that you can get where you can do your attack as part of a melee attack so
Starting point is 00:07:56 you hit someone you hit them with the regular damage then your spell goes off and you do that damage as well so it's so it's like cutting somebody with a sword that then becomes a shotgun and you shoot that sword into them. Pretty much, yeah. Gunblade it. Yeah, you gunblade that shit. It's a later level thing, but that's what you want to aim towards. Yeah, cool. How later level?
Starting point is 00:08:15 So in the meantime, I'll just... I'm not sure. I'd have to look it up. I'll just give it the old... So it's Eldrick. That's the pronunciation. Eldrick, yeah. My mistake.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Eldrick Blast. I don't mind. It's fine. Eldrick Blast. I'm going to Eldrick Blast it. Because I've got a good aim so far. You still on the roof? No, no.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I haven't been on the roof in this room. I don't think you've cast Spider Legs today. No. What a scoff. Spider Climber. For him, it's called Spider Legs. Really? Because it's slightly different.
Starting point is 00:08:36 No, I've got a Spider Walk on my sheet. Oh, Spider Walk. Sorry. Spider Legs sounds amazing. Sounds like you get the legs of a spider. You don't get the ability. You just get the aesthetic. Maybe like four get the legs of a spider. You don't get the ability, you just get the aesthetic. Maybe like four arms just pop out of you.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Gross. You blast it, dealing a combined 10 damage. Nice. You notice as well, everyone notices, that when Squim fires his attack at the creature, he blows a small hole in it. It looks like his attack is doing far more than any of you guys, but not proper comparatively.
Starting point is 00:09:10 So it looks like you guys have been doing less damage to it. It looks like magic either does extra damage or somehow is just affecting it more, maybe. Oh, and your fist tries to... Oh, yeah, fist. Oh, fisty boy's story. Hey, I'll go Pooey Brown.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yep, your fist regrosses. It tries to break out again immediately on its turn. Poo brown again. It does not. It stays grappled. I think for the first time. It's happened before. Anton?
Starting point is 00:09:38 Days, why not? Cast it again. It loses its nice action. Hey, wizarding properly. We've done this. Lilip fires. Cast it again. It loses its nice action. Hey! Wizarding properly. We've done this. Lilip fires. She misses.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Shane? Yeah, smack him in his face. You hit. Oh, wait. Hey! Is this like the first good critical for us? I think it's the first good critical for the whole gang, yeah. I got a critical before, but that was... Double damage and target is knocked prone.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Oh, boss ass. She'd get on the roof now. Oh, shit. Oh, wow. Max damage. 28 damage. Woo. Shit.
Starting point is 00:10:16 If it's knocked prone, do I have to stop attacking it? You kill it. Oh, good. It doesn't matter. You hit it so hard and so fast That it's almost a shrapnel blast in all directions No one gets hurt
Starting point is 00:10:31 I'd like to limp out We'll do never one For once we worked as a team Good job, mate Alright Can I be at the front of the party? No, no, no, no. I run up to the biggest pile of stuff and elbow drop it.
Starting point is 00:10:52 All right. Got him good, mate. Yeah, you do that. Yeah, fair. I look at Lilith expectantly. Hi, Lilith. Hi. Hi. Hi, Solos.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Hi. I'm super sorry. She looks up at you and she says, that's our ancestry. And I say, it's only half mine, which isn't really a comeback. She just doesn't seem impressed with you.
Starting point is 00:11:20 So there. I cast darkness around myself. Don't we all wish we could have done that at some point in our lives? Can we loot? Hello, darkness, my old friend. I'll also drink my potion. Oh, yeah. You're on one hit point.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Also, I call off earth and grass if it's still around. Oh, yeah. I assume you do. Lilip, I'm bleeding out. So can you just give me a bit of a... All right. You should have taken some extra damage. Oh, look. If we're going to take a break, I'll get Lilip, I'm bleeding out, so can you just give me a bit of a... All right, you should have taken some extra time. Oh, look, if we're going to take a break,
Starting point is 00:11:47 I'll get Lilip to heal me instead of taking my potion. Lilip goes around healing people. Cheers, Lil. Why are we calling her Lil? That's a good name. Lilo. Lilo? Lilo and Stitch, coming to new to DVD.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Shane, you recover 16 hit points. What about your boy, Anton? Just have a sip of like the cure light. Anton, you recover your full health. Woo! I forgot how little hit points you have. She's going to look at you. And Scrim, you recover a hot 11 hit points.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Cool. It's back to full. Nice. You are also on full. What am I on? You are on 43 by my count Oh, I see Although you should be a little less
Starting point is 00:12:27 Because I forgot you had bleed No, no, no No, no, no, hush You know what, nah, I'll make it 42 Nah, but fair Nah, but you will cop it Right, what was in this big pile of The room where the thing came out of
Starting point is 00:12:41 You guys can loot the corpse And I'll have a quick squiz in the room. Sounds good. It looks like the room was once an armory. And the armory became possessed. The armory, there's nothing really. All you can see in there is what these bits and pieces that attacked you were sitting on.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So there's nothing actually left in the armory. You can just see weapon racks and such. Yeah, all right. Gloom, there's nothing in there. But, like, everything that was in there is out here. It's kind of useful. What an interesting line. What have we got?
Starting point is 00:13:12 Where's my party shit of party fins? Hopefully, like, a good weapon. That'd be nice. Hopefully, we get, like, if I could just have something to make me useful. Yeah. That'd be swell. Like a crossbow that's, like, real good. Yeah, like a real special wand or something. Oh, Yeah. That'd be swell. Like a crossbow that's like real good.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, like a real special wand or something. Oh, fuck. That'd be nice. That'd be, you know, like an armor. 1,800 gold pieces. Woo! I see. But, I mean, compared with what our ultimate loot's going to be.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I know. Compared with the mill, with the cold bill we're getting. That cold bill. That cold billion gold that guy promised us And a kingdom I heard a kingdom I think I remember him saying I could have an entire nation Magic item
Starting point is 00:13:53 Magic item please You got a magic item I'm having it Before that though you find a gem He gets cursed You find a black pearl What? Shut up.
Starting point is 00:14:06 As if. What do you think? One of these desert pearls. This thing is so fucking rare. Black pearl times pearl. How do you get pearls? You get from like. From clams. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:15 From clams. Well, you know what? 64 taught me anything. Yeah, exactly. But guys, if you think about it, a desert was once a sea. So it makes a lot of sense. That's true. No.
Starting point is 00:14:24 No, no, no. Oh, but he was so confident sea. So it makes a lot of sense. No. No, no, no. Oh, but he was so confident when he said it. Ah, and a little ion stone. Sick. Put it on my rooster. No, give it to everyone. Wait, is that the magic thing we found? The one thing I
Starting point is 00:14:42 already had. Hang on. No, there's many different ion stones. Oh, really? I hope this one was like plus constitution. That'd be nice. And I'll take it because I need the health. Fair. Yeah, no, it is the one you have.
Starting point is 00:14:58 It's the exact same one? It's the exact same one. Oh, sick. Who wants to never have to eat or drink again? I give it to you so that you never have to sleep or eat or drink. Well, I'm easy. It's yours if you want it. I take it, mate.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Oh, fine. Thank you very much. It's very lovely. Oh, Lillip. You take it, mate, and I'm going to jess it a Lillip play. And I'm like, I think I get it, and I keep it. Perfect. I'm with you all the way.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Are you going to activate it? Yeah, I activate it. Okay. the way are you going to activate it um yeah i activate it okay you all you need to do is you just hold a little stone about yay about a foot from your head and say you can say that it doesn't help but i i look at lula to see if she like clocks she's like man i know something as if she noticed yeah she noticed i did something cool she doesn't know magic oh yeah she doesn't know so she's like magic get a tricker. She could be impressed by this.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Let's find out. Look, the joy and magic of a relationship. Highs or lows? I'm going to go lows. Hang on. All right. So this is my favorite part of the game. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I'm going to let you re-choose. Always change. Change your choice, knowing that I got an extreme. This is the Monty Hall problem, isn't it? You either did really well or really poorly, and I'm going to let you change your answer if you want. So the Monty Hall problem only works when there's three options,
Starting point is 00:16:19 and you change after that because that changes statistically what it's about. But you haven't actually changed the statistics. You're just me a switch therefore it doesn't matter so i'm going to paper scissors rock myself paper scissors rock this isn't gonna work just rock again i'm i'm i'm gonna switch switch i'm gonna switch yeah she looks at you and she says, We are still in the halls of our ancestors. Can you please not make light of this? I say, stop giving me such little lip. But then I don't actually say that. I wish I could give you credit just for that.
Starting point is 00:16:57 But alas, I'm a bastard. So after looting and that, I guess, can we continue through the passageway? To where the T intersection is? Yeah. What did we decide the cardinal directions were? And that, I guess, can we continue through the passageway? To where the T intersection is? Yeah. What did we decide the cardinal directions were? Adam Wood? Jackson Wood? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Shanks Wood? Zamet Wood? So can we... I'll go first because I've got the most health, I guess. I will go up the back, like always. As is my want. And have a quick peek around the corner. Stomping on all the tiles to set off any and all traps. Because we now have figurines. We've got two doors on either end around the corner. Stomping on all the tiles to set off any and all traps. So we now have figurines.
Starting point is 00:17:26 We've got two doors on either end of the corridor. Oh, I'm doing it. Fuck, this is fun. There we go. There you go. All right, I'm going to go Shankswood. Otherwise known as right. You come up to the stone door.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Can I see if it's locked or anything? No, it's not. You can push it open if you want. All right. Can I be like, all right, guys, everyone get into the corridor so you're at least close and near me. Yeah, great. Up the back.
Starting point is 00:17:52 In case anything... Up the back near an unknown doorway. Yeah. Fingers crossed nothing comes out of there. Can you just move this thing down near that? Adam. I can't. I can't get it back.
Starting point is 00:18:04 It's like an undead ghoul dog. Dragon. It's a dragon, you idiot. Let's open that door and see what happens. A small square chapel. Okay. In the chapel is a long, disused figure of some sort of god, perhaps, with its arms outstretched.
Starting point is 00:18:24 The figure is wearing this long, thick robe, or well, it's also made out of stone, obviously. The statue is not wearing a robe. We need to dress our statue weakly! And that obscures any features about it. You can't even tell if it's an elf
Starting point is 00:18:40 or not. I want to get my sword out. It's just robe, as far as we can see, basically. Yeah, well, obviously a humanoid figure. Something's under the robe. Can I just waggle my sword around to see if anything's going? You awkwardly stick your sword into
Starting point is 00:18:56 the robe, waggle it around and no Indiana Jones style light effect trips any traps. Okay, good. I'm going to kind of just like gingerly just like stab at the statue. Like nothing happens. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I walk up to the statue and try and using my wisdom and intelligence and potential knowledge of elven shit. I just see if I recognize anything about it or if there's any like inscription on it man there's even a little statue bloody there is an inscription that's good and you can make it out as ain't it's once again that ancient form of elven it's hard for you to make it out but you actually can read some of the words on this one. It's a prayer, a prayer of safety and of binding. Hey, guys, it's a prayer of safety and binding.
Starting point is 00:19:48 What does binding mean? Lillip also enters the room. Good question. Binding is in, well, binding, sticking something
Starting point is 00:19:56 to something else. Right. Does that mean it's a spell, potentially? Hey, Lillip, what do you make of this? You're a smart,
Starting point is 00:20:04 cool elf chick. You're a smart, cool elf chick. You're a smart, cool elf with your head on your shoulders. Yeah, you're not a beautiful magic boy. Lilip doesn't... I mean, that's a... I say that under my brace. She doesn't hear that. Okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Lilip doesn't say anything. You can see that... You just see an expression of awe on her face. She falls to her knees in front of the statue and prostrates herself in some sort of... What? Nothing. Carry on.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Prostrate? What do you mean by what? As in praise before the statue. I've never heard it called prostrate before. Lies prostrate before the statue. Yeah. You've never heard prostrate? No.
Starting point is 00:20:39 It sounds like prostate. I know, but it's not. It's similar. She starts examining. Your prostate. She doesn't respond to anyone who talks to her okay all right she in like a trance no she's just praying she's in awe and prayer i i pray too i want to impress her and i'm an elf i'm like you know an elven prayer you recite that yeah. Yeah. Can I whisper the glom? Because we're next to each other. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:05 A glom. A glom. Is this fellow? Or everyone is lying down in front of him? I'm going to call it. The statue. It's, this is early depictions of an ancient elven god. Name, their name was lost to time.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Perhaps Gloom is obviously very keen to also enter the room. You see hesitancy in him. Perhaps the inscription says something about it. Can I just quickly... Any of the tiles I haven't touched. There's a lot of tiles in the room.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Would you like to trip them all? I mean, would you like to step on them all? Not trip them all You'd be tripping them if they were traps Just to be like I'm just going to check for some traps, guys Just everyone just Just plant some hopscotch
Starting point is 00:21:53 Just plant some hopscotch It's alright Fuck, I love your checking for traps Which is just jumping around I just think Imagine just getting my Christ-like Just spreading my arms
Starting point is 00:22:02 And you're just falling on the floor High soles Rolling around. You're kind of killing our spiritual buzz. That's fine. You're like having this round like... Our father who art in heaven. Just touching shit.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Touching the statue. High soar. Nothing happens. You tripped no traps. So either the traps here are destroyed Or there just aren't any Gloom, give him the thumbs up Gloom rushes into the room
Starting point is 00:22:30 Trouted Trips over a trap Guys are awful, horrible death And with his last words, he curses you Gloom kneels beside the inscription And starts trying to read it out But he can't seem to make out any more than you can It's some
Starting point is 00:22:48 Well Not your good Gloom Yeah just some All he can make out is the same That you can That it's some sort of prayer of protection Of an area Possibly this area
Starting point is 00:22:59 And binding You're not sure binding what though Just something about binding So not to metagame but just the definition of binding again is sort of a uh to keep something connected to something else in a magical connection okay oh yeah in a magical sense you would say so it could be hypothetically not asking what this actually is but it could be that the statue is bound to like another statue across the the dungeon that is a possibility yeah okay can i
Starting point is 00:23:25 have a just a sneaky inspect of the room is in like is there anything odd there like anything that i've like i stay just with romeo outside in the corridor i feel like i'll get in trouble if i go on the road you feel around on the walls uh and after a little bit of searching you notice that on the statue the eyes or where the eye sockets would be roughly, you know, underneath the hood. There's kind of a slight mismatch on the stone there. So you think the stone is it's a different type of stone that where the eyes are. I'll point that to gloom. But also, I think these eyes are and And then he's like... The three stooges, that shit.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Fuck, imagine if the statue's hand like... You push the eyes in. As you're pushing the eyes in, Gloom says... But it's already happened. You remove your two fingers or your two thumbs, whatever you use to push, and the statue starts crying sand. Oh, no, Edie. Is the door still open?
Starting point is 00:24:31 The door is still open. You're free to leave if you wish. We'll even just shut the door behind you. Gloom scrambles out of the room. Yeah, I turn to Lilip and say, Lilip, I think we should go. She nods and says, but a moment. She reaches out and catches some of the sand
Starting point is 00:24:46 And then leaves I quickly grab some sand too And I stuff it into my cloak or whatever You can add a little bit of sand if you want Do I have a little, I've got a backpack Can I just like put it in the back Fill one of your pockets I've got pockets full of sand
Starting point is 00:25:00 Pockets full of sand, luckiest magic Might write it down in case you forget. It might be important later. Pockets hand. Like, throw it in someone's face. That's it. Well, yeah. Are you shutting the door behind you?
Starting point is 00:25:13 I mean, I'd recommend it. Gloom, should I? Gloom, shrugs, I don't know. I should have hired a trap finder. I don't know why I hired you guys. I suggest we stand on the episode. I don't know why I hired two guys I suggest we stand on the I don't know why I hide two magic boys And no trap Well like I mean
Starting point is 00:25:30 If it's a trap it's kind of weird to have it In the eyes yeah Possibly it's an odd way to trigger a trap Yeah I say we stand on the other side of the door bay so we're in the hall And just kind of watch I'm just worried the door's going to shut and we're going to get filled up and drown in sand. I mean, good thing the door's open.
Starting point is 00:25:48 After a little while you hear like a click, click, click, thunk and then the crying stops. There's a small pile of sand at the base of the statue now. Okay guys, let's all grab some sand. Can we examine the sand? Is it different? Oh shit, I know all that types of sand. You're like a sand genius.
Starting point is 00:26:05 I look at the sand and I use my intelligence. It's... Rub it on your gums like a cop in a 70s, like, fresh cocaine. Fresh? This is like fresh cocaine. It's pure, that's what it's saying. You probably, or if you rub it on your teeth, it's very unpleasant because upon closer inspection, it is not sand, but actually finely grained glass.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Okay. Rub it on your gums. Let me just... Just cut your gums up good. Can I detect magic in the glass sand? Yeah, you can detect magic. It detects heavily of conjuration magic, so summoning magic. of conjuration magic.
Starting point is 00:26:43 So summoning magic. Okay, I use my wand of burning hands and I pick up the sand in my hands and compress it whilst I use burning hands and try and turn it into some, fashion it into some sort of magical glass dagger via melting. Tell me that won't work. You fashion
Starting point is 00:27:03 a glass dagger which I will allow you to use but it damages you because it is made of glass I was going to say, if you're just squishing it in your hands it's more just like a weird it's kind of more of a shiv I'm adding it to my whip
Starting point is 00:27:23 add glass shiv or something. Sick. GD, glass dag. It's not a magical glass dag? No, no, no. Just a glass dag. It's a very intensive process to create magical weapons. It was my theory.
Starting point is 00:27:38 I turned to Lilip and said, like, impressed and sort of, like, whipped my hand out, but it's dripping with blood. Highs or lows? Highs. impressed and sort of like like like whip my hand out but it's dripping with blood eyes always highs okay so knowing that i got an extreme very high or very low would you like to change your answer no i'm gonna stay clever boy clever magic she She looks at the glass dagger you've created, ignoring the bloody hands that you have. And you can see the same ore that she showed for the statue she's now showing for the glass dagger. So I'm, like, as impressive as an ancient god right now. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:28:16 A little bit, yeah. She seems very impressed with your craftsmanship. She just mutters under her breath, perhaps a dagger of the gods? I like that Adam and I are now fled. It's good. Don't misinterpret this. I guess Adam's into me.
Starting point is 00:28:36 All right. I'll be back with a dagger, boys. Yeah, she seems very impressed. Nice, it's good to know. I like to think that I'm a little disappointed in myself and the dice, but here we are. If we were playing The Sims right now, our relationship would have a little green hit pointy thing going up it. Plus. It's a double plus.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Oh, nice, double plus. Maybe triple plus if such a thing exists. It does. Can I go and inspect the statue again and just see if it's reset the eye sockets? The eye sockets appear to have reset. You can press them again if you'd like. Just press them until the fucking thing fills. So, Gloom, it's reset.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Do you want me to... Gloom scampers back into the room. All right. Do you want me to press it again? He... Heisel, boys. Here is what I think, boys. Is that once this may be fired out the glass like a rocket, like...
Starting point is 00:29:35 But over time, now it just rolls out on the floor. I think Gloom might be right. I'm not Gloom. Gloom. Sorry, I'm Gloom. I think Anton might be right. What? I think this is a broken trap.
Starting point is 00:29:48 I think we have wasted a lot of time. All right. Anton, you just go into that room with Gloom while I open up the next door. I walk into the glass room. Just away from the door. I try not to stand on the glass. You open up the room. It is...
Starting point is 00:30:06 It's big. Yeah, it's pretty big. There's... It's just one big empty room, except for one of those standing stones, one of the seals in the dead centre of the room, and you can see writing upon it. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I'll enter the room and make sure I... Lillip is near me, so if anything goes... All right. It'd be nice to have you close. So two people are going in at the same time? Yeah. Is that my rooster in as well? Actually, can I cast Chill Touch on my rooster just beforehand? Yeah, sure. Like, just to have it in?
Starting point is 00:30:33 You can have it charged with Chill Touch. Romeo's got Chill Touch in him. Good. So, all three of you enter roughly the same time. Lilip, I'll say, her second step into the room, you all hear click hear click thunk and you look around to see that she has triggered a trap she looks at you shane and she says i'm so sorry from no walkers mate above both of you spears stab downwards at you. This time, they reach you. Are these just, like,
Starting point is 00:31:05 gonna just skewer you? Right down the spine. Shane, you bring your shield up at the last moment. And the spears just shatter on your shield. What's your rooster's armor class? My rooster's armor class? Oh, no!
Starting point is 00:31:22 It has a AC of 16. 16? What's its hit points? Um. Four. Oh no. Not the Romeo. Romeo takes
Starting point is 00:31:38 seven points of damage. Dropping him to negative three. Not dead yet, but badly incapacitated. Mon dieu. I'll go down a level if my rooster dies I know I have to heal him He got critted Lilip got critted
Starting point is 00:31:53 Sucking chest wound It dug deep On Lilip On Lilip Lilip Double damage and target is exhausted God damn it And Lilith. Lilith! Lilith! Lilith! No! Double damage and target is exhausted. God damn it. So many sneaky naps in this dungeon.
Starting point is 00:32:11 That's Dungeoneering. She negates the exhaustion. But it's still double damage. That's Dungeoneering. You have a nap, you know. Lilith takes 20 points of damage. When a spear pierces through her collarbone and goes deep enough to kind of stick out her thigh.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Is that what hits my rooster? Yes. Yes. Out of her into the rooster. That was good aim. Right. Are we in initiative? Did it summon a beast?
Starting point is 00:32:40 If not, I'm going to try and... It's just the trap. None of us have detect trap, do we? No. Because stabilize that rooster. Every single rooster has to be like walking around, waiting for it. We just never notice. Will a lack
