Starting point is 00:00:00 Before we get to today's episode, I just want to let you know that we went and filmed a D&D's for Nerds miniseries set in the frozen norths of Icewind Dale and based around Wizards of the Coast's recent Rime of the Frostmaiden adventure. The first two parts of this six-part campaign are available right now for you to watch in glorious whatever quality we uploaded it in.

Tell me your secrets! into the mouth of a common house cat
Starting point is 00:00:34 and wait for the next step. You're listening to the Sans Pants Network. Home of comedy, culture, adventures, and ghosts. Previously on Stories from the Greyhill Free Company. I don't say anything as I have probably reverted back to a spider. A grumpy spider. You have your old body tied up and on your back.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Yes, I'm not happy either. Well, I don't say this. I skitter. Well, if you could let Grey Dove know that a spider is a bit weakened. And that, yes, we got some of its kin and we're going to go to this church here and we'll be on the way back in a few days.
Starting point is 00:01:31 How well versed is Globble in types of power? How tropical have you lived? How tropical have you lived? Either way, I'm being distracted
Starting point is 00:01:42 by the shininess of your earrings. I feel like I'm going to just encapsulate the smooth brain of a bird. Right. Well, in that case, Love is Blind kind of takes a natural leadership role. You can see inside, it's like a casino. And you hear, as you walk past them, you hear them muttering, Lemons, lemons.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Some people here are more cogent than others, though. You can see there is like an old-fashioned wizard. Give me a coin. Tree Stump. Buy these things just once, and then we'll go and... Okay, you can have one. Have a go, have a go.
Starting point is 00:02:17 All right, I'll have a go. You and Tree Stump finally end up at a, let's say a craps table. Okay. You sidle in between a knight still on his horse and on the other side a troll.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Have a go. I have a go. See, it's fun. It's good for you. It's healthy. I realized I actually don't know how craps works, so we're going to change this to blackjack. Done. Alright. Surely there's a deck of cards here somewhere. Zamet's going to have to give up the one in his hand.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Oh, Zamet. Shattered. Oh, my God. I only need half a deck. It's fine. You keep the four, yeah. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Are you both being dealed in? Yes. Yes. One for my friend, please. They're trying to make us want to gamble, but hit me. There's a card for you. My face-up card is a five. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I'll show you so you can kind of see it. Like we're actually playing fucking punch. Okay, I hit my beak on the... Hit me. Oh, very cute. That is intensely cute. Cass, I mean, tree stump? I fell.
Starting point is 00:03:23 What did she got? 25. Ah, that sucks. Hit me, please. Alright, the... I should say as well, the person dealing these cards out is probably one of the monks. You see that the monks are both responsible for, like, being like dealers and stuff like that, but you see that
Starting point is 00:03:39 some of them are also actually just playing. What do you want? I got 21. Oh, 21. Good job. Hang on. Let me find out. That's 12, 14. Bust. You win. Tree Stump. I'm very good at this. I'm talented. I have a knack
Starting point is 00:03:56 for it. I should keep going. Tree Stump, add 4 gold to your character sheet. We should probably keep going but you're on a roll. Hit us again. Can I get the cards back? If we do this more, I'll become rich and I can afford nice things. Maybe I can buy that amulet if I've got enough money. Why doesn't everyone do this?
Starting point is 00:04:12 It looks like a lot of people are doing this, but no one else is winning. I know. It seems like there's two of us. We've basically doubled our chances, right? It's very weird. Some of these cards are upside down. Oh, well. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:04:22 There you go. My face-up card is a 10. I'm staying. Staying? Yes, yes. Hit me, please. How are you sitting? I bust.
Starting point is 00:04:38 What are you on, 22? 23. Oh, okay. 12. Bust. Fuck. Yeah, right. 12. Bust. Fuck. Yeah, right. Yeah, you win.
Starting point is 00:04:47 You win five gold, shall we say. Yes. Can I get the cards back? Do you want to play another? Oh, I think it's going to be fair. I think we need to do one more. So far, we've both won. Oh, you know what I've not been doing?
Starting point is 00:04:59 Shuffling? No, no, I haven't been shuffling. Tree Stump, you lose one gold. Oh. You lost. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, Stump, you lose one gold. You lost. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, but I hoped you would know this was a thing. Yeah, I know, right?
Starting point is 00:05:10 You thought this was going to be infinitely gain money? No. How much did I lose before? Four. But give me a number between one and 31, because I was just happy to ignore that. Let's go with 13. 13.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Extra skilled. Succeed on a skill check. Excellent. All right. Another round? One more. One more. One in.
Starting point is 00:05:33 We may as well. What is your Rome equivalent? I've got a face up five. Hit me. Hit you? Yes. Hit me, please. That's not good. Fuck. Hit me. Hit you? Yes. Hit me, please. That's not good.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Fuck. I busted. Well, I've got 11. 11 plus 6, 17. I hold. You both lose. Okay, I have me as well. Tree, stop. You lose 10. Four. And Globally, you lose two. That's not fair.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I've got to get it back another round. I mean, look, we're both down now. But maybe we just keep riding this. Yeah. One more. One more. One more. One more. I hope you both genuinely become addicted to this.
Starting point is 00:06:19 We're not addicted. We're lots of it. We don't want to. We just have a little bit of fun. We don't want to stop it any time. I've turned into a spider. I like just serving a bird. Come on.
Starting point is 00:06:26 There you go. The bird's got money. My face up is a four. I'm going to hold. Hit me. Ooh. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Okay. Okay. Let's see. It's a 17. I'll stay. I'll stay on a 17. I'll stay on 17. I got 12. House is boss.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Good job. Both of you earn money. We'll say tree stump 6 and global 3. I got 20. I'm good. We really need to go and find this thing. How about this? What if to go and find this thing
Starting point is 00:07:05 how about this what if we go and get this thing and then we reward ourselves for being good and we come back you turn into a spider oh no I'm a bird bird it does not feel how long can you be a bird for again?
Starting point is 00:07:21 an hour it does not feel like it's been an hour but you turn into a spider. I waggle. You look out the, maybe you glance at the windows and you see that they're all blacked out. I blink. Not like you can see outside and it's nighttime. They are blacked out.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Like there's something covering them. Here, I'll give you your cards back so you can play with them. Thank you. Was it like this the whole time? Like in the don't know when it's nighttime and daytime way? Yeah, don't know if it's a nighttime or daytime way. Although you probably don't work that out. Oh, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Well, you can roll, actually. You know what? Fucking oath. I think they're just blacking out the window so that we don't know what nighttime and daytime is, and then we stay in longer. I tap one for yes. Oh, he doesn't understand. I am so upset that you said I tap one for yes.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Oh, yeah, good point. Because Cass 100% forgot that was the system. I tap once. Do you remember what tap three for is? Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, good. All right, so. Yeah, beautiful Alright, so
Starting point is 00:08:23 You said I tap one for yes And I said He doesn't know I forgot so hard you explained it And I was like I'll make a joke I'll start pouring at you And then be like
Starting point is 00:08:40 Nudging Oh, is he making a little wife or yes with his little lungs actually i got one more i just turned back into into a cockatiel i got one more of this and i need to have a short nap but let's let's go uh i don't want to i be come on let's go find the fryer did you hear what i said about the window yeah yeah good point i agree Remember? Tap one for yes. Oh, but the three taps me. Three means I'm sorry. Aww. Keep trying to eat people. It's not great. It's a little bit of an urge.
Starting point is 00:09:11 The spider brain's kicking in. Kind of like I really want to pick on your earring. Could you just pick me up? Yeah. Cool. Why didn't you fly? Oh, no. Yeah, no. I'm so sorry. That's so rude. Haven't quite worked out wings. That's alright.. Haven't quite worked out wings. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I don't know how to use them either. Anyway, let's go to this. Wait a minute. Why am I letting you turn into a bird? We've had this discussion. Anyway, all right. That was the thing. He's just not that fun.
Starting point is 00:09:39 As you walk back across the room, both of you immediately wander off again. Anyway, what game is this? Oh, no, it's so shiny. Now you're playing a slot machine. Give me one. I want to put it in. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:09:54 All right, hang on. Let me get some dice for a slot machine. All right, both of you have a go? Yes. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Alright, both of you have a go? Yes Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding Tree Stump, you get Lemon Cherry Apple You lose
Starting point is 00:10:11 Oh, but what a nice juice it would make No! I could have paid that and gotten the juice Globble, you get Lemon Ogre Hearts And that is good? No, you lose eight gold. Oh, man. I don't like these ones.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Wait, do I? I'll say after you have lost this amount of gold, this probably kind of represents actually several goes, you can probably start to be like, oh, wait a minute. This wasn't as fun as Blackjack where it was very good and easy on time one and therefore I want to keep going. They should really implement some sort of strategy that's similar with these machines.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I reckon it would be good and very good for everyone involved. Yeah, so like maybe give us a small payout first and then maybe make us do it. Just say I put in three gold and I get one back. It feels like I win. I didn't win. And I actually lost more than half of my money. But it feels like I win.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I come back. Let's go find this fryer before I turn back into a... You have no idea how long we've been here again. I think I've got... Half an hour left. Look at the blacked out windows. All right. You been here again. I think I've got half an hour left. Look at the blacked out windows. All right, you start walking again. Where'd their friends go? Tree Stump and Global.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Both of you, let's say you're at an actual... You both wake up sometime later. Tree Stump, you've lost three gold. Global, you've lost four. Oh, man. You're at a craps table now. You're standing next to Globble. You are a spider again.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Of course. I hope the spider is waggling, holding dice. You just stick it to your fucking little paw or whatever. Tree Stump and Globble, you are both standing next to Globble, yourself. You are still tied up, but you're standing at the table like with wide eyes watching the dice be rolled i um kind of do a frightened spider gesture uh slap your back uh big t and point to myself and is there a glass of water somewhere that i can look around and see yeah there's like people going around with, trays and drinks and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And then I point to one of them. Are you thirsty? And I point back to me, Globble. Oh, he's thirsty. I then point to his body. You want me to put you in the water so he can drink you? The spider Globble, kind of without arms, kind of gestures to one of the
Starting point is 00:12:42 serving people walking around and they put a martini in front of him the the spider glovel looks down at it and you hear him say snake eyes and he drinks from the martini glass still bound up he makes a mess of it okay do you want to drink i just tap three times Oh no, what'd you do? I tap twice No I then point back to my spider body Well, the spider in my body You need to swap back
Starting point is 00:13:17 I tap once and then again twice You're sorry? I said four for maybe. Anyway, yes. I get a drink for my spidery friend. Uh-huh. You pointed at the water. You have a drink now.
Starting point is 00:13:36 They're complimentary. Is it water? Would you have asked for water? No, but now I'm really... Okay, I need a water. A beer is set in front of you oh no can i please have a water you are also given a water oh i splash him thank you you splash global global body global okay yeah his breathing is still kind of labored, but he is now breathing.
Starting point is 00:14:06 You keep ordering waters. Yeah. Eventually I'll say you've spent. All right. So both of you are going to lose a bit more money, but you spend enough time at this. You at one point you're like, Oh,
Starting point is 00:14:20 craps. And then you remember what you're trying to do. So you unfortunately just spend enough time at this table to have to roll again is what I'm saying. Yeah. You lose six gold. Tree stump. And global, you lose seven.
Starting point is 00:14:36 All right. Okay. Okay. But we keep the body alive. Yes, yes, yes. At some point, can I either get a... Can I write with a spider hand? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I can write in... We have to do... I can write in dirt. Yeah. Is there dirt here I can write in? No. What if I hold you up by seven legs and I point the eighth one down and we get like some sort of a napkin and like a whiskey
Starting point is 00:15:05 I hit once for yes then you can draw a little bit I hold you like a pen but the pen is you and you move do you have any ink on me? I don't know do you have any ink on your character sheet? probably if you have ink on your character sheet sure
Starting point is 00:15:21 I got cartographer's tools oh yeah the pen and paper in your bag yeah well I guess global I's tools. Oh, I like that. Cool. Oh, yeah, the pen and paper in your bag, yeah? Well, I guess, Globble, I'll get you to make... Well, Tree Stump, first off, I'll get you to make a strength check.
Starting point is 00:15:31 She can't read. She can't read. That's right. We need to establish that. Well, you'll have to use pictogram. Someone else can read it to me. All right, Tree Stump, you are able to
Starting point is 00:15:44 steady Globble's spider paw. Now, Globble, you need to make a dexterity check. Beautiful. Globble, you can draw. Here, I'll give you my pen and paper. You can draw any sort of pictogram you want. You can't draw any words. You can draw words, but Tree Stump won't know them.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I could get someone to help me. I'm going to draw what basically looks like a U, You can draw words, but Tree Stump won't know them. I could get someone to help me. I'm going to draw what basically looks like a U, and then I'm going to draw little waves in it, and then I'm going to draw fish me. Don't say what you're drawing. Why don't I explain to the listener? Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:16:18 No, that's fair. Cash, you luck out this time. Yes. Oh, you need to get in the bath. I tap once for yes. But I'm trying. I point at the waiters. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Can you please put my friend in the bath? They'll have to purchase. They'll have to buy a room for the night. Oh, yeah, it's good for it. Would you like a room? The waiter turns to Globble. Globble looks wide-eyed at the waiter and then returns to the craps table. The waiter just kind of shrugs
Starting point is 00:16:51 at you. I draw a barrel. Do you have some sort of big cup? For someone bigger than me. Very big. They bring you out like a jug that you might serve like a pitcher of water in. I go over to Globble and just sort of... might serve like a pitcher of water in. I go over to Globble and just sort of...
Starting point is 00:17:07 That you might serve a pitcher of water in. They'd bring you out basically a pitcher. Is it full of water? You didn't ask for any, so no. Could you please put some water in this? They bring it back out with water. The waiter at this point is like... And he brings it out with water.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I'll book a room too. how much is room uh room for the night a golden night all right we got that and i could always win the back laser uh a room for the night for my friend please i tip the pitcher of water on him actually no i just i stick his little fin fist in do you for the two of you? No. Just for them? Just for the fish man. Okay, that'll be a gold. Thank you. Pay him a gold. Alright.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I'll have the keys brought down. Thank you. Fish boy's not gonna know what to do with that key. No, we take him to his room, we put him in there, and we leave him tied up and in the bath this time. Then he can't die. I tap once for you. What do you want to do?
Starting point is 00:18:11 I think we've got a game of craps to finish. Both of you feel the draw again of, like, the tables and the slot machines and stuff like that, but this time, for the first time, you're able to resist it. You're like, no, this is important. Someone's drowning. Or suffocating, rather. I just keep tapping my body. But like, spider, well,
Starting point is 00:18:31 fish body. And keep tapping and then we point to wherever the room might be. I'm doing a lot of pointing, a lot of gesturing. Do you need some assistance? The wizard you saw before is standing behind you. Oh, someone's bringing us a key. That's alright. I tap once for yes.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Oh, hey, no, my friend needs something. What do you need? Can I get the book back? I tap once for yes. We do need help. Am I to take it that one means yes? I tap once for yes. One means yes. Well, that
Starting point is 00:19:04 is an interesting way to confirm it But it feels right So I'm going to say it What kind of wizard are you? Are you a tricky wizard Or are you a helpful wizard? I didn't realize those were the types I would describe myself
Starting point is 00:19:21 Less of a wizard And more of an academic Do you know how to swap bodies? Um I would describe myself less of a wizard and more of an academic. Oh. Do you know how to swap bodies? Um. Not for me, for my friend. I know methods of swapping bodies, but none that I could implement easily or hear.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Like, that sounded like you were going to be helpful, and it turns out no. I'm very sorry. That's all right. Could you be helpful? Well, what do you need help with? I need to put this man back in this spider. Well, that is achievable. Do you know how? But you are neither in the right place nor the right time in some aspects for that. What do you mean by
Starting point is 00:20:05 is this a they don't have you from the future? I am from many places and even many times. I don't think you can say you're from the past if you just aged. Um. You're not allowed to tell me that. It's more complicated
Starting point is 00:20:21 than that. Okay, that's allowed. I am what some deem a planes walker i come from other planes of existence where time means different things oh could you take me that's neither here nor there you are currently here before me. And you seem to be in trouble. This poor fellow here, I assume he needs water. I tap once. But he is bewitched by the foul magics of this place. I tap once.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Well, as the key is being brought out, as the key is like the waiter like sets it in front of Globble who just kind of ignores it. Well, perhaps we shall get your friend, then, to a bathtub, post-with! Oh, that's my plan. Come on! Tap once for yes. As soon as you move away from the table, the instant, both of you are like, Oh, what's that one? You feel like a tug around the scruff of your neck, both of you,
Starting point is 00:21:27 and you see spindly thin fingers in front of your eyes. Come on, we must away. I tap once. Yes, it's right to the bath. And now a quick word from our sponsor. You see, looking up from the ground, blood-red clouds boiling across the sky. You did ask me to bring the thunder.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Dejan! Dejan! Help! I've got the chalice, please! Well, if they're following you, then I guess that takes care of a loose end for me. All of you feel the earth beneath you shake and crack and break. I feel that I have failed both of you, and I am sorry for that. This has nothing to do with you being a bad leader.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Do you want a countdown? Oh, I think I want a countdown. I wanted to help. I always had good intentions. I do not deserve to die. Now. The Lucky Die podcast is a weekly 5E Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast. Join our adventure every Monday, wherever you download podcasts, by searching for The Lucky Die.
Starting point is 00:22:42 You physically drag Globble's body. Globble's spider body must be, like, forcibly removed. He's not happy. Can I web him? You can web him. Like, he's coming with. The two of you are strong enough to drag him along. I just need to be quiet.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It's very annoying. Oh, I see, yeah. Yeah, sure, I'll allow it. You web up his mouth. No one seems to really notice or care. You drag him up the grand staircase to the upper level. You can see there's a lot of people here wandering around, kind of like slowly shaking their head, like they're waking up after a night's drinking and they have a hangover.
Starting point is 00:23:23 A lot of them are like, you can see they're opening purses, checking empty purses and stuff like that. One of the monks walks past. As he walks past, you hear that shink, shink, shink, shink, shink from one of their pockets. And then you get to your room. You open the door and step inside and there's like some it's quite a nice room. It's probably not worth
Starting point is 00:23:48 a gold though. A gold seems overpriced. I'll fill the bathtub. With Global in it. Let's put him in the bath and just start filling the bathtub around him. While you and the wizard are whose name you still don't know, are filling up the
Starting point is 00:24:03 bathtub Global, you smell the most The wizard are, whose name you still don't know, are filling up the bathtub. Globble, you smell the most delicious, delectable, beautiful scent you've ever smelled. You turn around and in one of the corners of the room, there's a little icebox. And from the icebox, the most delicious smell is coming. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Is there some sort of... Oh, my God, I'm not going to be able to read a minibar price list. I pad over to the icebox. You pad over to the icebox, you pour it open. Inside there is a selection of different drinks and small confectionery snacks. This is probably a bit of a novelty. Like, you're aware of the idea of individually wrapped and packaged foods, even in like an industrial scale,
Starting point is 00:24:51 but they are still kind of a rarity of sorts. These would be things like that. They wouldn't be packaged or wrapping as we would know it, like plastic. It would be probably like butcher's paper or like cotton or something like that. Like probably a reusable packaging of some sort. But yeah, nonetheless, packaged like little treats and stuff like that. I do the international hand gesture of like, Don't mind if I do finger waddle.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But with like, say, six of my legs while I'm balancing two of them. And a snack on perhaps just a one you could probably still get things like potato chips and chocolate and stuff like that you wouldn't be able to get like a snickers bar but you could get like chocolates whichever the most enticing one is for me i will uh consume with maybe like spider mouth there would definitely be something like jerky in there so you're hoeing down on some jerky. Tree Stump, you see this? Do I have any concept of how much a mini bar would be?
Starting point is 00:25:50 I'm thinking I don't. Do we have to pay for them? Three gold disappears from your purse, Globble. You will notice that the next time you check. Oh, it's great that I'm never checking. We call it check. We assume this is just how it works. It is all free.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Oh, I guess you don't have to pay for it. We hit up every hotel. Just because someone hasn't kicked down the door and been like, you've got to pay for that, doesn't necessarily mean you're not going to be paying for that. We're bewitched, Adam. You're bewitched. Tree Stump isn't. Usually what happens...
Starting point is 00:26:28 Tree Stump's justifying. That's what Tree Stump's doing. Usually what happens is you go to a store and you're like, oh, I want that. And then they say money. And you give them the money and then they give you the thing. This one, just reach over and take it like it was... And it's in our room. Like it's in our room. You know what? Fine.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Just start eating. Not my wallet. That's cool that it's free. I take a chocolate. All right. Oh, no. I can't know about this. You lose two gold.
Starting point is 00:26:56 No. That's twice what the room costs. I absolutely should have charged you more for the room. Oh, well. Oh, well. Here we are. What happens when we don't have any more money to be taken well we'll find that out when it happens
Starting point is 00:27:10 ok ok ok as you're like half the spider lizard the spider global does not understand does not understand that he needs to be submerged so when you start pushing him under he thinks you're trying to drown him oh just breathe in breathe in as you as you tree stump and the wizard push him beneath
Starting point is 00:27:31 the wizard's got like his sleeves rolled up the wizard looks at you tree stump and says a pleasure to meet you by the way what is your name i'm big t what's your name? My name is Sir Isaac Newton. Newton! The spider global thrashes and... Unhappily folds his arm. The spider global thrashes and fights beneath you, but after a few seconds understands that they can breathe normally, and this is actually quite relieving for them, so they begin to calm down. See, it's alright. Wasn't trying to kill you at all. I'm a friend.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Why, may I ask, have you come to this place? Oh, we had to get a necklace. What was the necklace called?
