Starting point is 00:00:52 Welcome to episode 3 of Husfirma Pride, a D&D is for Nerds adventure. Previously I don't want another body on you, can't you? I don't want another blacksmith death on my hands. We still have problems around here. There's a wolf pack that have taken up residence, a big wolf pack, we believe led by a winter wolf. We might be in Hosferma for like another week. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Could be months. That would suck. This is why we need NPCs to keep us in line and now we've got an erratic one and we don't know what to do. She has a cloth thing and she bundles it up making a bag. Do you understand what I'm saying? A hobo bag. Yeah, like a hobo bag. Like, put him on the harness, I don't know. She has a cloth thing, and she bundles it up, making a bag. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Like a hobo bag.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Yeah, like a hobo bag. Like a bindle. Yes. Yeah, like a bindle. Until one of your party is in grave danger. Open it now. Got it. What's inside? Adam, while they're fighting, I would like to send Wesley to do
Starting point is 00:01:43 a chill touch. Don't you try and pull rank. We've been doing this for years. You left, I got stuck behind. I left for our wars, Ellie. I wanted to go, but they wouldn't let me. The burial site isn't exactly a landmark that the Nordic people use, but it's pretty noticeable, like, when you're just travelling. The three of you plus Daniel are standing around the entryway to the tomb.
Starting point is 00:02:07 What are you thinking? All right. You reckon this is where the... This is the place that you know of. Have I got my strength back? Oh, yeah, over the three days. Oh, yeah, it's a three-day trip. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Cool. In that three days, did you talk to Daniel at all about this? Yeah, oh, definitely. At some point in the trip, maybe whilst we're camping tonight, I would sidle up next to Daniel. The first night,. At some point in the trip, maybe whilst we're camping tonight, I'll saddle up next to Daniel. The first night, you ask
Starting point is 00:02:27 Daniel, and Daniel says, help me, when we got Carl back, I'll tell you everything. Alright. He's basically like using it almost as blackmail to get you. I'm coming anyway, Daniel, you could just tell me, but sure. It's not like I've tracked across the goddamn continent for this.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Fine, though, Daniel. You are so sick of our shit. I'm so sorry you had to trek across a continent because you forgot a night we had together. All right. Hints. I'm getting some information out of it. You remember some stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yes. What do you remember? You get flashbacks. You remember sitting on a boat with him. A boat?! Yep. There's a river that freezes over during winter, but it runs near Lomacaine. That still doesn't explain the roses.
Starting point is 00:03:15 As I come shuffling up. Oh, also he would have been holding like a lute. What the fuck? What the fuck was this night? Why don't I remember? Do you bring it up with us yeah I'll crawl like into our tent and be like I already rolled for you yeah but that was for
Starting point is 00:03:30 roses wasn't it no that was for just in general Edric you remember that when you would have left at this point so you don't know very much about this but there would have been a point where Daniel got like like, super...
Starting point is 00:03:47 Daniel and Cassius got, like, super, like, didn't want to talk to each other much. Yeah, don't remember that. It was a brief period. It was right before Cassius left. After we were a thing. Did I get cursed? Does anybody remember a curse happening? Did you date Cassius? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Yeah, we dated. Where the hell was Zilly? Just, like, chuffing off, doing her own thing? You were date Cassius? Yeah. Yeah, we dated. Where the hell was Zilly? Just like chuffing off? Doing her own thing? You were younger. We grew up. You could have dated
Starting point is 00:04:10 a couple of boys if you wanted to. You could have dated a couple of girls if you wanted to. I would like to. Fine, whatever. I swear my pride.
Starting point is 00:04:20 The word pride just took on a hold of you. I swear my pride. Yeah. Yeah, you guys were just not speaking for a while, then you chuffed off. Roses. It was like maybe the three days before she left.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah, remember, just before you left, like about three days. Roses, I can't help you. I wish I remembered. You spent the last week in Husperma super drunk. You were super angry, I think. Little drunk. Very drunk.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Lot drunk. I remember you being a lot drunk, and that's when you said you'd come back. Oh, my God. So anyway, you're standing at the foot of this thing. The elves don't seem... Either the elves have vacated this spot, or they, for some reason, haven't left centuries. Yeah, I was going to say I want a very good look around for elves. There is, like, some shrubbery nearby, but just even a cursory.
Starting point is 00:05:13 It's, like, not enough to hide a Sentry. It's pretty sparse. Okay. It looks pretty abandoned. If an elf was super determined, they could hide under the snow, but you'd freeze to death. It looks pretty abandoned. Cassius? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:05:31 Can you see anything? You've been travelling further than I have. Of course, detect animals. I won't detect people. Yeah, true. I can't see much in the way of... All right. Are you looking for anything in particular? No, just wondering if you could see something that I've missed.
Starting point is 00:05:50 So you believe there'll be elves down here? Oh, actually, you would see something. Gracious. Use Mr. Fists. I should have used Mr. Fists. Sent Mr. Fists for a scout. It's all right. You see, like, maybe some wolves stalking nearby,
Starting point is 00:06:10 like, low, really super low to the ground. Are these the magic wolves? Do we see the winter wolf with them? You can't tell. Like, it doesn't... Well, actually, does it tell you? Is it just one winter wolf or is it a pack of winter wolves? No, it's like one winter wolf.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Leading a pack. Leads a pack of winter wolves. Oh, magic. It's just nature. Exactly. That's just the natural order of things. Yeah, like that's just how it works. You know, it's not...
Starting point is 00:06:34 For a sorceress living on her own, you don't know much about winter wolves. I was asking you. Yeah, Cassie. I know, silly. I'm very just-acted. Just get completely into character for the D&D until we leave. Yeah. Which we don't, because it's live.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Every week. Literally, I'm permanently Cassius. Except now when I'm explaining. Goddamn, Daniel, just tell me what happened. It looks like it might be three wolves. You can't tell much beyond that, though. They're stalking nearby your position, but from the way they're moving,
Starting point is 00:07:08 you don't think they've noticed you. There's wolves, but they've not picked up on us or anything. Yeah, but I don't want to put my back to a pack of wolves. Well, when we're in the mound, the wolves won't get us. Wolves don't go in mounds, Edric. I guess not. All right, then.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yeah, that's right. Learn to goddamn wolf. Just saying, but if they do notice, how far away are they? Where's the hatch, and where are they, and where are us? Okay, so you guys are north of this burial site. The wolves, oh, you're maybe like 100 feet north of it. The wolves are maybe 60 feet to the east of you, stalking towards the hut itself.
Starting point is 00:07:56 You're a druid. Can you do anything with charming an animal? I have charmed something. Telling them to just Not attack us I think it might be Charm person I don't think that counts
Starting point is 00:08:08 Yeah no It's gotta be Charm animal specific Hey how long does Dominate animal last And how many animals Can I dominate Can I rave in
Starting point is 00:08:15 Featherland Could I get Wolf allies Is my question Better idea I was just gonna make A lion Go down the hole wolf
Starting point is 00:08:22 Go down the hole It lasts for A round per level So so it would last for five rounds. That's not really... It's like less than ten minutes. I can make him tired with Ray of Infeed. How's that sound? If you want to, go nuts. You can only hit one, though.
Starting point is 00:08:35 There's at least three. What about Magic Missile? That sounds wonderful. Magic Missile, I think, would only hit one as well. I think all my spells only hit one. Look, they're not going to attack. I think I'll give you an area. They're wolves.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Fine, fine. Let's go get some wolves. All right. I draw my longbow. I'll take out my fists. Just from a distance. We're fighting these wolves? Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah. Daniel unlumbers his longbow as well, yeah. Come on. And what are you going to do, Ellie? Zilly. Zilly. And what are you going to do, Ellie? Zilly. Zilly. I'm going to be honest, I don't understand any of the things that you've highlighted here.
Starting point is 00:09:10 What does it say in Animal Explainer? Magic missile. Magic missile is like a missile that's just like magic, like shooting a bullet, but it's magic. Well done, Jack. Good. I'd like to do that. It's just a magical projectile that you shoot out of your hand.
Starting point is 00:09:23 You'll shoot several, actually. So I guess you all target a different wolf? Yeah. Yep, cool. So I'll say I'll start. Can I have a look at what they... What are they stalking? Like I said, they're just stalking towards the mound.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Yeah, we attack them. Okay, so I'll say you attack the... Edric, you attack the lead one. That'll be a hit. Fine, I'll just use my sling. Right? You have fireballs. I don't want to waste fireballs on a goddamn wolf.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So your arrow flies far and it flies true. It strikes the wolf in its haunch and you hear a yip but it doesn't die or anything like that. Then we'll go with Daniel. Daniel hits as well.
Starting point is 00:10:11 And it's a similar scenario. He also hits it in the haunch, but because of his extra tension on the bow, his arrow buries itself super deep. Oh, yes. I kind of give a bit of a nod to Daniel, like, well done. Daniel can look after himself. He's proven himself a little bit to me. It's good work.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Good work. I thought he would be ripped to shreds in the first half an hour. You don't have much confidence in your allies, Edric. I'm more protective. I've lost the father. What if we kill the son, rescue the father? I'm like, hey, killed your son. I got you.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I got you, but guess what? Your son's died. You know what's sad? When a parent has to bury a child, guess what we're doing? And Zilly, you fire your magic missile at the third one. Yes. There's lots of dice. Lots of magic missiles.
Starting point is 00:11:00 You got a lot of power. I really want to kill it. Come on. No, you don't kill it outright But you like Your magic missile slams into its side Lifts it off its feet And like dumps it unceremoniously
Starting point is 00:11:13 Like five feet away I would like to at that point look over at Edric And then wink At who? Oh Edric okay I wink back and go well good hit Thank you and then I'll continue on. Is that a game?
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'm just trying to prove that, like, this is the whole trip will be proving to you that I'm worth a while. Is Cassius gonna sling someone? Oh, Cassius! Oh, that's right, you do have a sling. I do have a sling, I've literally never used it! Oh! If you kill with a sling,'ve literally never used it oh if you kill with a sling i swear to god oh yeah critical hit crit hap crit hap the first crit hap okay so uh it so the sling fire the projectiles the sling fires are called bullets. You fire it literally like a bullet, though. It's like, there's like an almost an audible sound when it leaves the sling just from force.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Like a vortex. All right. Were those as a kid? Yes. You finish off the lead wolf. Good job. First kill. First kill.
Starting point is 00:12:22 You've learned a lot since you've been away. And Edric, your turn now. So you get... There's two wolves left still. Draw off my war hammer and charge. That's a turn? Pretty much, yeah. That'll be your entire turn.
Starting point is 00:12:37 You'll get up to the wolves, but you won't be able to attack until next turn. I'm doing that. Okay. Yeah. Then it is... I can't imagine me shirtless and covered in furs. Who's left? Sorry. It's two walls.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, I'd like to... Alright. Should I use the same? Can I do that? I don't know what it's like to be a fucking sorceress. Yeah. You can do that spell again, yeah. Yeah, just remember you only get so many spells a day. It'll say... Okay. If you go back a page, up the top... Oh, no, one more page back, sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:06 One of the columns is spells per day. So that's a zero level spell. I got four. Yeah. Magic Missile is a first level spell. No, you got six a day. You get six a day for them, six first level, and four second level. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I have used one first level. That light. It's good, though. Gives you energy. Yeah, one first level. Okay, I'd like to use the same one again please Yep same one again on the same wolf you hit before Yep
Starting point is 00:13:30 I'm pretty sure you're gonna kill him Yeah As I rolled it I'm like minimum damage kills him You outright slay the wolf You like blast Oh no you don't know fallout Um okay so you disintegrate It's torso torso and all its limbs go in different directions. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:13:49 This is very graphic. I was not ready for this kind of trauma. It's like a fountain of gore. Like a literal fountain of gore. Is this the first thing you've ever killed? I would look. I would like to look back at Edric again. Do like a big double thumbs up.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And a big grin. The wolf snarls at you, Edric, and do like a big double thumbs up and a big grin the wolf snarls at you Edric and bites at you oh no it like tries to bite your leg but it like bites on your armor instead and then finally it is Daniel's turn oh no
Starting point is 00:14:24 critical fail critical good Daniel's turn. Oh, no. Critical fail. Critical good. Critical hit. Good. Critical happy. Daniel, you bloody dog. Okay, so it gets hit for regular damage,
Starting point is 00:14:40 and then, Edric, you get a free hit on it. Good job. Yeah. Do something cool with it. Can I do? What is that noise from Adam? I have several things of power attack and cleave. That's me having an orgasm. Sorry?
Starting point is 00:14:51 What do the power attack, cleave, and sunder do? Okay. So improved sunder it's called. Improved sunder allows you to, like, if someone else is wielding a sword, it gives you bonuses to breaking their sword or a shield as well, just anything really. And power attack makes your attacks less likely to hit. But if they do hit, they do more damage.
Starting point is 00:15:15 So basically, you're sacrificing accuracy for power. Cleave means that if you kill an enemy, your blade keeps going. And you get a free attack on another adjacent enemy. Oh, cool. All right. Let's just Warhammer that in the face. Let's just squish the head of a... Yeah, so the arrow killed it, and then you come in with your Warhammer.
Starting point is 00:15:39 You're just squishing the head of a dead wolf. Worth it. Yeah, it's like... You're just covered in gore. Like, some of the gore hits you guys, Cassius, Zilly as well. I don't give a fuck. You've got like, flexor shit on you now. Not literal shit, obviously.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah, gross. The blood and stuff. It's just everywhere. Okay, gross. The blood and stuff. It's just everywhere. Okay, alright. This is what water is. Good one, Edric! As you... As you approach the... Oh, you're going up to the mound, right? We're going into the mound.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Wait, we killed the wolves, so... Yes. The last of the wolves are dead. As you approach the mound... Sorry, can I go and inspect the wolves and see if any of them are winter wolves? No, they're all just regular wolves You would have, like, even Edric, when he's like right up with the wolves
Starting point is 00:16:34 can tell that they're just regular ones As you approach the mound nothing happens You get up onto the top of it I guess you move some snow away to find the hatch you find it without too much trouble it's like all elven craft it looks very ornate and well made but you imagine if you smashed it a couple times it'd break pretty easily does it seem like anybody's been around here for a while i mean i know it's snowing so any tracks would be covered but can i just like just do a survival check?
Starting point is 00:17:05 Can I detect magic? Would that bring elves home? Do you have that as a spell? I do! Then you can. I would like to detect magic, Adam. Hang on, I'll get to you in just a sec. Where is it? Your...
Starting point is 00:17:21 Oh, yeah, that's right. Pretty good. You can tell that creatures have... It's hard to... It's been snowing, yeah. It's been snowing. You can tell that there is telltale presence of people coming and going from here.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Okay. Hard to say what, though. All right, yeah, no worries. And with detect magic, you can cast it, but it's blocked by so much feet of stone or inches of stone. So you think if you cast it, you wouldn't actually be able to see any magic going on below you.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Okay. Sorry about the monotone. That's okay. That's how you feel. I forgive you. That's what you want. So, all right. I just wanted everyone to be wary of we might find some resistance down there.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Well done with the wolves. Daniel and Zilly. I'm going to ask Daniel for a high five. Does he respond? Will he high five back? Daniel's like in a pretty serious mood. He doesn't feel up for a high five. I'm going to be like, Zilly, it's... I'm going to turn my hand around and be like, low five, Cassius?
Starting point is 00:18:20 I'll give you a little low five. That's how Daniel feels right now. Pretty low. So we're expecting resistance in there. There might be resistance of elves. They are a lot smarter than wolves, so just be prepared for that. They tend to be. Zilly, please stay back a little bit
Starting point is 00:18:38 so you're out of danger. Daniel, just stay by me, okay? You open up the hatch. There's a spiraling staircase maybe 10 feet across, so it's very small and cramped, even single file. Some of you big boys here might have to, like, scooch sideways. This staircase is made for elves, not humans. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Am I a delicate human? Is it lit? Probably. Like I'm a Nordic lady. You're not that delicate as a Nordic lady. case is made for elves not humans fair enough am i a delicate human is it lit probably yeah like i'm a nordic lady so you're not that delicate as a nordic lady yeah you got a constitution of 16 and the strength it doesn't matter like you're probably much you've been ostracized how little you've lived away from society you probably still killed like stuff with your bare hands yeah it's husk firmer mate it's a rough place to live forget about it, it's Hoss Firm You need to be strong or you die Yeah, exactly
Starting point is 00:19:27 Get busy punching animals or get busy dying Is it dark? Yeah, it's pitch black You'll have to find your own Do we have a light? You light a torch? Yeah, you probably have a torch You probably have a light spell maybe
Starting point is 00:19:40 Can I hear any people? I think you have dancing lights, sorry Can I hear noises of people moving around? You silly goose I know,? I think you have dancing lights. Sorry. Can I hear like noises of people moving around? I don't. You silly goose. I know. I should have written down dancing lights. I can hear ghosts.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Okay. So you like take a second to listen and you hear like a shh and then everything goes quiet. Lads, I think there's someone in the system. I could hear some whispering and somebody said shush. Okay. I want to scan the darkness with my torch, see if I can see anything. I can just imagine you being like
Starting point is 00:20:11 through military and waiting for like as soon as the quiet dude, like the fist up in the air. I just kind of be like, what? I shot it. I heard someone say shush. Right, let's go. You can't see anything. Your eyes aren't good. Elves are...
Starting point is 00:20:27 Oh, wait, you're a dwarf. That's right. I sure am. You don't need the light. You can see with dark vision. I'll throw my torch away. Well, you shouldn't do that. I'm holding a torch to knock it.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Why? So dwarves have an ability called dark vision, which means you can see in pitch dark, but only in black and white. With that vision, you can see the bottom of this staircase. There's nothing down the bottom. Nothing to see. So can you...
Starting point is 00:20:54 Nothing there? Yeah, I'll let you know. I call out an elven. Hello. Nothing. No response. Call out again. We don't want to fight.
Starting point is 00:21:04 We're just looking for a commander. Nothing. No response. Call that again. We don't want to fight. We're just looking for a commander. Nothing. Cassius with me. Daniel behind. Zilli, rearguard. Let's troop on in. Okay. You start heading down.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Cassius, because you're using darkvision right now. Yeah, because of your darkvisionvision you can't actually see it but everyone else can with the torch the walls have this beautiful mosaic painted onto them but because Cassius is only in black and white he can't tell what's going on it's like
Starting point is 00:21:37 of an elaborate elven some sort of funeral or something like that you can see a tableau of them wrapping a body and then putting it into a coffin. It sort of follows you. This tableau follows you as you walk down the spiral staircase. You get to the bottom,
Starting point is 00:21:54 and there's two paths going in different directions. As far as you can see... Oh, they just disappear out into the darkness. None of your vision can see further. Mr. Fists, take the path to the left. You want him to fly? It's like a low ceiling. He won't have a lot of room to maneuver.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. He might actually have to just hop down and walk. Do that. Super cute. Can Wesley do stuff? Wesley can do that as well, yeah. So we're sending Wesley with Mr. Fist on a journey. Guys, I can talk to my animal.
Starting point is 00:22:29 What's Wesley saying, Adam? He's like, I don't want to go alone. Well, you've got Mr. Fist. I don't want to go with just an owl. Hang on. I'm going to go talk to animals and get in on this conversation. Mr. Fist, Wesley's alone. Can I...
Starting point is 00:22:44 Oh, your conversation echoes, by the way. Like, you can i oh your conversation echoes by the way like you can try to whisper it but the whispering i realized for some reason i've been playing cassius like very long what am i doing that's not cassius i'm yelling into the tunnel okay mr fist go down that alley that that tunnel there and uh company wesley here uh which one are you sending them down left or right left left left left okay the thing that you did to me, is there a timer? Can you apply that to your... That's a good question, Edric. Adam?
Starting point is 00:23:20 Moves the mic away from his head. I'm like, is he done? Is he done with us? He's leaving. Has he finally snapped? I set him off. Our last time. Hold on, I can tell you stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:28 No, what I mean is if you can. Touch of fatigue. Yes, but the one that you attacked me with, Zilly. Duration, instantaneous. No, what I mean is can you ready it on Wesley so that if he, is it a he weasel or is it a she weasel? It's a her weasel. Her weasel?
Starting point is 00:23:50 If you ready it on him. Okay, so the way it works is the Wesley can hold on to the spell indefinitely, but if you cast another spell, it ends. Okay, all right. So just until you cast another spell. I can't do that with Mr. Fist, can I? No. spell, it ends. Okay. So just until you cast another spell. I can't do that with Mr. Fist, can I? No. That's a shame.
Starting point is 00:24:09 No. Guys, I'll do Touch of Fatigue because then they're tired. Yeah. And then Mr. Fist can attack them. The perfect team. Can you communicate? Sorry, I'm just not familiar with witches. Sorceress.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Sorry, sorceress. Can you communicate with your weasel from a long distance? Yes. Yeah. I'm looking at Adderall. You have an empathetic link, the same that Jackson does. So if they're in trouble and we haven't found anything, we will know. It can speak like words with you as well, but to do that, it needs to make sounds.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Basically, it would need to shout for you to hear it. But I can feel if it's scared or anything. We'll also conjecture. We'll send Wesley and Mr. Fist to the dream team. I'll load him up with a little bit of touch of fatigue.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Daniel shifts a little. He's super quick. What? Why is it rolling? Daniel's afraid of man. No, Edric, you immediately get he's like impatient.
Starting point is 00:25:11 He wants to keep moving. He doesn't want to fuck around with some animals. Yeah. All right. Daniel,
Starting point is 00:25:18 we'll get there. We just need to be careful. I don't think you understand how dangerous this situation is. You send them off down the left passage? But I'm going to give them a little bit like, don't put yourself in danger.
Starting point is 00:25:29 You'll come straight back, okay? I'll be like, Mr. Fists, don't you let anything happen to Wesley, eh? Is Mr. Fists responding? Mr. Fists, who's? I can't talk to animals, but you're going to hoot at me, Mr. Fists? Did I piss you off? No, he just actually who's. He doesn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:25:44 That's his response. I like turn to Edric. I'm like, owls. I give you a puzzled look and go down the right path. Mr. Fist is walking, by the way. Oh, are you guys just waiting for them at that intersection? No, we go to the right. We go down the right path.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Oh, you go. Okay. They almost immediately come back and Mr. Fist is like, like, cracking down the thing. Oh, that's super cute. I like quick up my arm, I kneel down. What's up? Oh, you still got, yeah, you still down, what's up Mr. Fist says
Starting point is 00:26:07 webs, lots of webs like lots thick super thick webs let's go down the right, we'll come back if we need to alright, sounds good let's go Wesley, and I pop him back on my shoulder like a scarf I pop Mr. Fist back on my shoulder like an owl on my shoulder
Starting point is 00:26:23 I trudge on down the right I have no familiar I pop Mr. Fist back on my shoulder like an owl on my shoulder. Trudge on down the road. I have no familiar. You're walking down that way. Who is... This is like a two by two, so two people can stand on either. I'll go at the front. Me and Cassius at the front. Yeah, okay, you and Cassius.
Starting point is 00:26:39 New kids at the back. New kids on the block was a band in the 80s. Good job. As you're walking... Uh-oh. Yeah, pretty much all of you. You can still hear the... Like there's whispering
Starting point is 00:26:53 going on around you. On either side, you can see as well there are like coffins set along here. I'm super speed. Anybody else hear ghosts? I call out Elvish again,
Starting point is 00:27:04 or Elven again Anyone out there, we don't mean you harm Wait for response Are you stopping and saying this? I just say it As you're walking? Yeah No response
Starting point is 00:27:16 And Cassius and Edric are up the front You get shot in the face with arrows You get That's by an alligator. An alley alligator. Speaking of which, Jackson Bailey's got changed form as a druid. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Are you going to do this? What are you going to do? I don't know. I'm excited though for the first time I change into a one of nature's beasts. Water buffalo. It's too small. So, I'm going to say, Edric, Water buffalo It's too small So I'm going to say Edric You
Starting point is 00:27:49 One foot after the other, pretty simple Until you take a step And then the stone moves down A little bit And you hear a clicking sound From previously Unseen perforated holes In the walls,
Starting point is 00:28:05 arrows start shooting out at both you and Cassius. Both of you take... Oh, Jesus. I have nothing to help with this. Why is there nothing to help with this? We're idiots. We didn't know what was going to happen. Edric, you take three points of damage.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And Cassius, you take two points of damage. I'm alright. Yeah I'm a tough little cookie. Ow. Oh that hurt I and me. That hurt. That was me being You said that's the first time you've ever pulled an accent. Usually just like... Yeah, true. You yell a lot. I do yell. Yelling's an accent. Yelling is not an accent. Okay. That happens.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And then nothing else. Oh, that's nice. Good. I'd like to detect magic. Just be careful where you step. You actually do that? Because I have arrows in my side. You don't know until you've done it.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I'll detect... I wish I had detect traps. That would help. I think that is a spell, but for clerics. I keep walking ever so gingerly, a little bit more cautiously. Can I detect magic, please? Can we get past the arrow firing trap and then detect magic? Sure. You detect
Starting point is 00:29:22 magic. There's like a faint, soft glow of magic all around you after like studying it for a little while you detect it as necromantic magic oh guys this is necromantic magic told you it was ghosts
Starting point is 00:29:38 I like necromantic that's romantic you still hear the whispering anybody else hear the whispers yes I hear them yes That's romantic. You still hear the whispering. Anybody else hear the whispers? Yes, I hear them. Yep. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:48 All right. So we can continue down this path, literally this path. Yep. We might find some evidence of Carl. Carl Hoff? Carl Hoff. However, if it is just necromancy, I'm not familiar with necromancy. It's fine. It's just skeletons, ghosts.
Starting point is 00:30:09 It's easy. Who's holding light, by the way? I am. Anyone else? No. And it's a torch, right? Yeah. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Oh, no. Foreshadowing. I feel like we're going to explode because of tomb gas. Zilly, do you know if it's, does someone have to be here for this magic to work? Is it the burial ground itself? I have read about this and I know that slashing might do damage. But not stabbing. Stabbing does nothing to zombies.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Depends on the skeletons and zombies are different. But if we can set a flame on fire, I think that helps if you hit a zombie dragon's butt. Daniel, it's up to you. He's your father. Do we continue on or do we try somewhere else? I honestly... If I have to tear this place apart to find him, I'll do it. Adam, I would have read lots of books because that's my only solace.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Would I be able to give any other information than stuff from two seasons ago? That's what Ali has learned. And even then, it's not the best. I just keep remembering that one thing doesn't work, but then the other thing does. So, you want to know about zombies and skeletons and their weaknesses? No, the necromantic. Well, necromancy doesn't necessarily mean zombies or skeletons. It could also mean a ghost or something like that.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Odd whisperings type of stuff sounds super sinister and like an intelligent creature maybe. Zombies and skeletons, not typically intelligent. Ghosts often are. I would like to relay all this information to everyone else around me. I already said it was ghosts! Stand as cast as everyone just be ready to attack
Starting point is 00:31:50 if anything attacks us. I'm going to keep walking down the tunnel. You take another three steps or something like that, and then looming in the light, you can all see a big iron door. Once again, it's very elaborately made, and it's got the
Starting point is 00:32:05 visage of a very important looking elf carved into it. Can I roll history of shit to know which elf? That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Jackson Belly, thinker with his noggin. What's that? It's knowledge history.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Do I even have that? You could still roll. I can roll. No, I only have knowledge of nature. You're an idiot. Sue, you... Let's see. No, you've never heard of anyone fitting this description
Starting point is 00:32:40 or who could be buried here. Through the door, lads! Whose tomb do our heroes stand in? And what could that mean for them?
