Starting point is 00:00:00 Sance Pants Radio, can I seduce a dragon? There's nothing sadder than a group of adults sitting around a table rolling dice to kill imaginary dragons. But that is exactly what we are doing today. Welcome to episode 18 of D&D is for Nerds. As always, I'm Joel Zammett, playing Leo Shadow. And over to my right, we have Ali Kathleen. That's me!

Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, 50. And then can I spend maybe like 50 because that means less maths for me? Do you not already have noble? I thought they said you had a noble outfit. You have a noble outfit. Oh, yeah. Is it nice? Is it nice?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yeah, it's a noble outfit. Some things, it's nice. I mean, I'll level with you. It's a noble outfit I think we've been wearing since the frozen waste. So maybe we should get like a... It's a bit careworn. Okay, all right. So let's just kind of maybe trade it in.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And then so like a car, you could get like maybe a 75 worth. The trader will knock five gold off the price for you, so it's 70 gold. It's used and... It's been in the frozen waste. This trader is not interested in buying more clothes. He is trying to sell clothes. All right, all right, all right.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Let's say 70. Can I buy a nice dress for 70? If you want to trade in the old one, he'll give you 70 gold. 70 gold, all right. He won't give you 70.

Starting point is 00:08:17 like grumbling under breath. Can you believe Grayson? Oh my god. He's just like about to stab me in the face. I know, it's hectic. Because he went and fucking wants to play nobleman with goddamn Ainsley. Yeah, I get it. I'm on your side. You're preaching to the bloody choir. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Well, I'm going to go find some halflings to gamble and lay the land. I'm going to seek out half-elves and wizards. Or hizzards, if I can. Ah, yes yes did so well I'm saying preemptively so you guys your next three hours are going to be just like trying to make
Starting point is 00:08:58 contacts yeah Leo and Griff Ainsley you and Grayson are just like making your way to the top of this hill to get to the nicer sort of – are you okay there? To get to the nicer houses. It's very – like I said, the streets here are very tight and narrow. Think like, you know, those tight and narrow sort of streets you get in European cities.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Imagine just those. And they're pretty winding as well. Okay. All right. As you're walking up, Grayson turns to you and says, do you know exactly which one it is? I'm going to blink at him. I think he said we would know it when we saw it.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Okay. I'm going to blink at him again. saw it. Okay. I'm gonna blink at him again. Very quiet now, aren't you? I see what you did there. It was weird. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Who should I go with first? Yeah, you two. So, Kriff, you find a wizard in one of the taverns who's pretty drunk, and he is just going on about what a fucking shit Carter is. I sit down next to him and I'm like, hey, man, wizards, both of us. That Carter, I heard he was a cunt or something.
Starting point is 00:10:21 He's a right fucking cunt, he is. What? I've only had good things Tell me, convince me Steals, you know Steals research Steals information, steals anything he can get his hands on What a piece of shit
Starting point is 00:10:35 I'm broke I'm broke Would you like a cape? Yes I would love one Like a cape? Yes. I would love one. I'd tie the cape around his shoulders. I'm griff, pum, pum, pum, griff. He shakes your hand.
Starting point is 00:10:53 So few people ready to make someone feel like a king. Hey, that's what I'm about. Do you know where this wizard is? Does he just stay up in that ivory tower fucking palace of his? Oh, my God. The ivory tower palace. I know, right? Yeah. Yeah, but like, where is he most of the time?
Starting point is 00:11:12 Well, you know, up the arse of the fucking pirate king. Yeah. Yeah, uh-huh, yeah. Hey, it's not... I don't know, I'm from out of town. It's not like if you kill the Pirate King, you become the Pirate King. Just double checking with you.
Starting point is 00:11:34 As if, right? I'd kill Carter in a moment. Yeah. Wait, is he the Pirate King? No. Like, to have his... Oh, to be the wizard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:43 No, hey, yeah. For sure. Fuck. Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah No, hey, yeah, for sure Fuck Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah Like in a moment Fuck Hey, like if I could direct you like to him Like
Starting point is 00:11:51 What? Like are you serious about this though? Oh, I don't What? You want me to fucking kill him? No, I'm not I'm not saying I'm just saying like
Starting point is 00:12:02 Some of the people in the tavern are looking at you now Hey, do you want to come with me for a walk, mate? Nah, mate I'm not saying. I'm just saying like... Some of the people in the tavern are looking at you now. Hey, do you want to come with me for a walk, mate? Nah, mate. I'm good here. Okay. Things have turned sour. So long. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I'll see you around. He like tries to pat you on the shoulder, but misses. All right. I'm going to go look for more wizards. Okay. And. Leo. Leo the lion. Can I grab your character sheet? Why are you just writing aneurysm
Starting point is 00:12:39 all over me? So many aneurysms. You look around and you go tavern to tavern. You even try to talk to some people on the street, like maybe beggars or someone who you think might know stuff. You gain no information, though. No one seems to have anything that you want to know.
Starting point is 00:12:57 That's a shame. I'm going to be honest. I'm hoping that Grayson carries the team. And I just had a moment. Grayson, oh, I should let you know, Grayson does not talk about himself a lot. Like, he'll listen to you if you talk, but he does not talk.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Like, he tells you maybe a little bit about his job as a mercenary, but you do not know what he did. You don't know where he was born. You don't know where he grew up. You don't know about much other than like, he talks some stuff about being a mercenary. Super. I feel like he's going to betray us. How do you spell
Starting point is 00:13:29 Grayson? G-R-E-Y S-O-N. That is not how I pictured it in my head. He also, he would have mentioned though, at some point, you may be asked if that's his entire name. That is. That's his first name. He doesn't have a surname. No, I thought Grayson was like G-R-A-C-E-S-U-N.
Starting point is 00:13:50 What? Why? Like Grace, son? Hang on, wait. Or like Grace. Spell that again. Just, I don't know. Like Grace, G-R-A-C-E.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I thought it was G-R-A-C-E-N. It does make that sound. I-E-N. I-E-N. Grace, make that sound. I-E-N. I-E-N. Grace Sin. Grace. Or Grace Inn. Pretty much, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Grace Inn. Now I'm looking at it, it kind of looks a little bit like Glacier. Were you writing Grayson in Love Hearts? Is that why you needed to know? Mrs. Ainsley Grayson. Well, you know what? Nobody really cares about the Foggy Feather family anymore, do they? Is there a Foggyfeather family?
Starting point is 00:14:28 So, Leo. Leo, you look around. You can't find anything of interest. Drat. You can't find anyone who's able to give you any interesting information. Double drat. And while you're looking around, two half-orcs, big thuggish looking guys, sort of just, you know, you notice them in one of the taverns
Starting point is 00:14:52 and then in another tavern they're like a little bit closer and then maybe like over the course of your day, you notice that they're like trying to get closer and closer to you. Eventually, at one point, as you're leaving a tavern, one of them grabs you on the shoulder, spins you around, and in a very brutish voice, he says, you, ask about Pirate King. Why?
Starting point is 00:15:17 Uh, uh, uh, uh, I just, I just, I'm looking for, to do trade. Oh, Zamzam. They grab you by your armpits, hoist you into the air, and start marching you off. Samet's going to jail. Oh, there's no jail here. Samet's going to get tied underwater on a pier.
Starting point is 00:15:45 And... Saltie. Griff. I've just been searching for wizards and elves. Samet's going to get tied underwater on a pier. Salty. And Kriff. I've just been searching for wizards and elves. I've had that one drunk. You had that conversation with that wizard? When you walk out of the tavern, two orcs standing there. I think I have a single suspicion. Swarm of bats!
Starting point is 00:16:01 How do you just know? Wait, are they standing there menacingly or are they just playing a game of... They're standing right out. You nearly bump into them. One of them says, You. Ask about Carter. Why? Hey.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I'm just a curious little guy. They hoist you up by the pits of your arms and you are frog-marched away. Swarm of bats! Hang on, wait, you're being grappled. I was like, say you betray.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah, you create a swarm of bats. Yes, I do. Anybody else imagining the bats coming out of my hand with a like... I imagine them coming out of your sleeve like you were a magician. So you're like, I have all these bats for this one purpose. But it's like they're coming out of my sleeve and spooking me and I'm like, ah, ah, ah!
Starting point is 00:16:59 That's not where I expected them to come from! Or are they coming out of your mouth? Like you open your mouth and... I want them to come out of my palm so that I can then put my palm on someone's mouth and be like, swarm of bats. Fill a guy up with bats. Okay. You create the swarm of bats and the two half-orcs are like,
Starting point is 00:17:17 and they let you go. I run. I run. Okay. Okay. So you fucking sprint off. Oh, man. I run. Okay. So you fucking sprint off. Oh, man. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah, you lose them very quickly, actually. They just can't. Yeah, they totally lose sight of you. Sick. Yeah, you totally lose them. Now I'm lost in a pirate city. You kind of know where you are. You know where you are in relation to...
Starting point is 00:17:45 From any part of the city, you can basically see the sea. You're okay to know where you are in relation to the water, but not much else. I'm going to try and find one of these two bugalugs. Holy shit, the whole mission's been compromised.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Everyone go to sea. Everyone go to sleep. Sea. Not much better. I'm going to jump over to Ainsley and Grayson just for a little while because it's going to take you a while to find anyone. What's that? Power couple?
Starting point is 00:18:16 Yeah. Oh, hey. Great. What's your name? Yeah. No, no, no. You know what? Rainsley.
Starting point is 00:18:24 No. Rainsley. Rainsley, yes. I want to leave that. No, no, no. You know what? Grainsley. No. Grainsley. Grainsley, yes. I want to leave that up to the fans, guys. I want to leave. Fans. Grainsley. The correct response is Grainsley.
Starting point is 00:18:34 So feel free to email us at sanspancheradio at gmail.com with Grainsley. No, I want to leave it up to the fans. I would love to hear what everyone else would think. Okay. No, I want to leave it up to the fans. I would love to hear what everyone else would think. Okay. So you walk in between two buildings and you come.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It's like the only square in this entire city that you have seen. There's like no buildings here of any height. It's like a park almost. And the park does not contain pine trees, but more like exotic looking trees. You're not sure. Like a lot of them you can't place. Some of them you might know and they look like very expensive and very like rare. Hey, Grayson, I think we might have found the place. In the middle of it all is like a, it's a building that looks
Starting point is 00:19:20 very similar to like a White House style thing. Like, you know, you've got those columns out the front. Actually, not so sure. Now I doubt myself. And it's got like that semi-circle like front part sort of thing. Do you know what I mean? Nah, I'm reassured. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Yeah. Grayson, 90% sure. It looks like it could be it. Yep. Yep. Grayson says almost sarcastically. Yep. I feel like we're finding our feet on our, like, couples, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Couple retreat? Couple. Dynamic? Yes, thank you. That was the word. I can't even get single dynamic. Like couple dynamic. There's a fence running around this entire place
Starting point is 00:20:07 and you see one entrance and that entrance has guards at it. Does it have guard dogs? The guards are halflings wearing full plate armor. It's the most bizarre thing you have ever seen. All right. Not poodles. No poodles. All right, Grayson, we need to readdress our plan.
Starting point is 00:20:23 I thought the guards would be poodles. Grayson's just like scratching his chin and he says, they cannot move very fast. Poodles? No, you're right. Like halflings are not fast at the best of times. In full plate armor. Grayson, here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:20:39 We look pretty damn fine in our outfits and whatnot. We did spend a majority of our money when our friends only spent one silver piece. You did. I say to no one in particular, maybe the half horse. He's just like being frogmarched by the half horse. I just know. He lost a lot of money. I gave him 20 gold.
Starting point is 00:21:00 He lost five. I look at my gold partner. Okay. How do you want to play this? Do you just want to like bluff your way in? Yeah. Well, I'm hoping that we have some five points. I look at my goal partner. Oh, okay. How do you want to play this? Do you just want to like bluff your way in? Yeah. Well, I'm hoping that we have some bluff points. I don't think I do.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I'm hoping Grayson has all the bluff points. I don't actually know. And... Oh, dear. Right. Oh, no. It's the count. That's a laugh of yes.
Starting point is 00:21:20 We're going to claim that we are, well, obviously, nobles. And we're here to talk. You don't have to lie. It's true. You are a noble. I am. I think. But I don't know if that.
Starting point is 00:21:32 By the time they talk to my parents back home, we'll already be out of there. So, yeah, no, I'm pulling the foggy feather card. All right. We're going to talk about trade barriers. No, that's not. Pirates don't really trade much. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:44 We're going to talk about. They trade steel for, you know, other people's shit, I guess. God. Trade barriers. No, that's not. Pirates don't really trade much. Okay, we're going to talk about. They trade steel for, you know, other people's shit, I guess. God, this is hard. Well, I'm struggling, guys. Well, Grayson. No, hold on. Grayson's just enjoying watching the slow breakdown.
Starting point is 00:22:03 This is what he gets out of the relationship. Damn, we're going to make amazing lives together. He enjoys a hot mess. Yes, well, there we go. Yes, we're going to go forward and be like. I've got like 180 with this thing. Oh, the dice are in my favor. They were. Okay, so my plan is bluff my way in.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Okay. You approach the guards. Are you going to talk or is Grayson? I think Grayson needs to hear it. Grayson, like, approaches them and he says it exactly how I am going to say it. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. We are dignitaries from a foreign land.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Can we speak with the Pirate King? Exactly. That is 100% and exactly how- Lovely cadence and all beautiful. Yeah, cadence is- That's exactly how he says it. And 100% verifiable. The two halfling guards don't react.
Starting point is 00:23:01 So we just walk past? No, the gate is closed. Oh. Can you please open the gate? Also you now spot like a fucking peacock strutting around on the property. Pirate King is so pimp. I love this guy. Just in the distance you hear a
Starting point is 00:23:16 woo! Super. Can you please let us through? We would like to speak with the Pirate King about some steel trade in the kingdom of Foggyfeather, which is not what it's called. I forgot where I live. You live, you come from the Isle of Natura?
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yep, that one. Yeah. And that's also exactly how she says it. Like, do you mean the Isle of Natura? Yep, that's the one. Okay, that one. That is where I am from. You said a little better.
Starting point is 00:23:50 You say, some might say, in a numerical way, four points better than he does. Yes. They still don't react. Okay, all right. Wait, hold on. I couldn. Now I'm going to play. Wait. Hold on. Couldn't remember how much money I had. I am going to get five gold pieces out and then I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Go on. Go on. Gold pieces. A week in and in. And then just. Yeah. Okay. Wait.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Yeah. Not five. And then I'm just going to. Frugal. Try to tuck it in a pocket. Frugal Ainsley is. The full plate does not have much room for pockets. No, just kind of like suddenly...
Starting point is 00:24:29 Shower it on them. Make it rain. With five. Clink, clink, clink. It's silver, so it's more of them. Yeah, maybe. Make it hail. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Make it hail. Make it rain. That's it, guys. I'm going to hit him in the head with a bag of gold. That's it, guys. I'm going to hit him in the head with a bag of gold. No, no, no. Just kind of offer gold like subtly and be like, just like hold it out like, hey, something like this.
Starting point is 00:24:58 The dulse has been right. You can't see their faces because they're wearing helmets, but you just imagine that they're stone-facedly ignoring you. Gently push one. Just topples apart. Just suits the bar. What I'm going to do is I'm going to just put the little tiny bag of gold at their feet and be like, good day, sir, and then go to walk through. As soon as you do that, the two halberds that they are holding
Starting point is 00:25:26 cross over together, barring your path. And I'm going to just try and gently go, oh, I'll just duck over here and then try and... It seems like you put the halberds in my way. That's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. You know, it's very funny. Like in a movie, you see this sort of thing happen
Starting point is 00:25:41 and you never see the hero just like, oh, sorry, it's okay. I'll just get under there. You never see that in the movie, you see this sort of thing happen and you never see the hero just like, oh, sorry, it's okay, I'll just get under there. You never see that in the movie. Maybe I can open a whole new genre. That's the most natural response. I'm just going to try and get underneath. They lower the halberds further.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And there's halflings. That's a feat. That's impressive. Leap it, Leap it! Grayson just gently puts a hand on your shoulder. I don't think they're buying it. Let's not piss them off.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I got nothing. Let's just go back to the tavern, regroup with Leo and Griff and see if we can figure something else out. Right. Same plan. Maybe we get more gold to bribe them with.
Starting point is 00:26:31 He tries to say in an undertone, but it fails. But maybe, maybe, new plan, same plan, still go back, get Jiggle Lump, throw it. Throw Jiggle Lump at the halflings, run. No? Maybe we don't start a revolution. Maybe we don't attack the pirate king on his home ground. Maybe a lot of things. Yeah, no, that's a good plan.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Let's not do those things. All right, let's truffle them back. Grayson reconsiders his choice of lofts. No, he doesn't. I'm pretty sure if you checked what Grayson was thinking, he was thinking what a lovely choice he made. Nay, mate. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:12 So as you guys are chuffing on back, you see Leo being frog-marched by the two half-orcs. I wave at you two. Like, hey! Don't wave, you dick! Grayson makes a very concerted effort to look like he doesn't know you. And fails. Like, nudge the half-orcs.
Starting point is 00:27:32 They're with me. Well, we could get in very quickly. You take, like, maybe five steps before just out of the crowd around here materialises just bands of half-orcs and halflings. All right. The Pirate King would like to have a word with you. Guys, I think we got through to him. I think we did.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Mission accomplished. Okay. Grayson, Ainsley, and Leo are being led into the mansion at about the same time Prith, you are in this crowd and you see them being led in swarm of bats that's a second level spell
Starting point is 00:28:16 I think I'm out no, you get one more, you get a bonus one summon my giant justice bee maybe save it, buddy maybe save it for when we really need it. How long does the bee last? Bees can't solve all your problems. They can solve some of them.
Starting point is 00:28:29 It lasts for three rounds. Oh, never mind. It's really more of a, and combat has already begun type of spell. More than a, let's initiate combat type of spell. Can I see here? In my mind, I just wanted an ally. If I do, I'm giving you a red hot wave.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Yeah, all three of you spot him. I wave at Griff as well. I immediately start kissing the nearest person. Hi or hello, Jackson? Hi. I mean, Griff. Your name is Griff. Hi. Hi. Yeah. It's a half walk. Your name is Criff. Hi.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Yeah. It's a half-walk. He grabs you in a bear hug. All right. And he hoists you over his shoulder. Oh, no. Whoopsie. Things may have gone awry.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Yeah. You're done goofed. You're trapped. They lead you all in. Fuck. Look. The rat. They lead you all in. Fuck. Look. The rat.
Starting point is 00:29:29 We got to where we wanted to go to, guys. Yes, we did. The wrong way, more or less, mostly less. You know what? Glass half full, Jackson. We wanted an audience with the Pirate King. We're going to get an audience with the Pirate King. Did we want an audience with the Pirate King?
Starting point is 00:29:44 Yes. Wait, did we? No, we want an audience at the Pirate King? Yes. Wait, did we? No, we did not. What was our mission again? You're trying to kill Carter, his head wizard. His only wizard, really. Thank you, Grayson. We've got to kill the wizard. We're trying to kill Carter, guys.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Come on. Fucking keeper. All right. We just tell the Pirate King Grayson's being a bitch. You're being led through this mansion right this it's like it's it's like the pirate king wants you to know he's rich it's not like de silva who is just flashy because he thought the flashier you were the better it is there is a lot of class to this place but after you're after you see like the fourth statue of the Pirate King himself,
Starting point is 00:30:26 you're like, okay, we get it. This guy is wealthy, and I kind of want to assume, all I can see is this orc's bum. It's sweaty. It's sweaty, but probably pretty soft. Griff, we just passed like the
Starting point is 00:30:43 fifth statue of the Pirate King. Each one is like, generally I think about ten years younger than what he is now. I just have this assumption. Look for weak spots in the statues. No, just like, does he have like a peg leg?
Starting point is 00:31:00 Can we take it? No, he does not have a peg leg. You don't actually know this is the Pirate King, but this guy is like, well, like I said, there's like four statues of the guy. I'm assuming it's the Pirate King or at least an ex-lover. Get all of them sculpted as being really fucking handsome. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:17 It's the Pirate King. Like literally and figuratively chiseled jaw. Yeah. There's a bunch of paintings as well. Some of them are also of the Pirate King, but you see other ones of like battles and shit like that. Will you escape? Will you die gruesomely?
