Sanspence Radio, add a sprig of thyme to make the creation your own.
There's nothing sadder than a group of adults sitting around the table crying
because they rolled a natural one on a hide check, but that's exactly what we're going to be doing.
Welcome to episode 20 of D&D is for Nerds.
As always, we'll be joining the bespectacled Ali playing
Princess Ainsley Foggyfeather.
Is that a compliment?
The recently bespectacled Jackson
playing Criff Pum Pumcriff.
I've got hair in my mouth.
I don't think that's part of the script.
So you got something
in your eye, didn't you?
I had a yawn and I was like Oh my god Quash that Jackson
I thought you were giving him a wink
Alright
And the unspectacled jaw
Playing Leo Shadow
Is that a compliment?
As always
I'm Adam Cyclops Summers
That's really not your name
Mmm well
It's what's written down
Previously
On D&D is for Nerds
Sitting on the throne
Is what you can only assume
To be the Pirate King.
Big things through, Ainsley.
Don't kiss and die, Ainsley.
I don't know where they've been.
Convince him the other guy's back.
I just have frustration, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm at a level with you, Mr. Pirate King.
I've started to realize over the last year that we do a lot of things without thinking them out.
I think it's a real problem we have.
Fight.
What? What?
What?
I can't remember how to fight.
I'm too busy.
I'll save you, Grayson.
I've got you now.
Snapping of flesh.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, can I love someone with a peg leg?
I don't know.
We got a guy with no leg.
He stumbles, but does he die?
No, no, he doesn't die.
Carter is very, very alive.
Chris.
The bee is here.
The bee appears.
Yeah, yeah, the bee appears.
Sick.
I forget laughing maniacally.
Who do you want it to attack? Oh, yeah. Who do you want it to attack
oh yeah
who do you want it to attack
the wizard
he just like slowly
hovers its way towards him
Carter's just like no
because he'd be scared of a justice bee
this bee is the size of a
fucking dog
I'd be scared of a justice bee
and at the same time all powerful pirate king wizard on hand The spear's the size of a fucking dog. I'd be scared of a Justice Bee.
And at the same time... All-powerful Pirate King wizard on hand.
I would like to, because that's not my move, is it?
Yeah, no, you got your turn as well.
Yeah, cool.
Grease the floor.
No, he's not moving.
We are.
The monster's moving.
If you put your... you goot up the creature
How does the creature attack?
If I goot up the creature, will the creature get injured, Adam?
No, I think you have to goot up yourself
And then touch the creature
No, it only hurts
Like something grappling
What you use it on
I'm just going to punch him
I was thinking like baboo slime Grayson? what you use it on. I'm just going to punch him.
I was thinking like Babu Slime
Grayson? Because he's getting like
mauled by the dog. It's true.
So we can like grease him out a little bit.
Don't grease him. We're moving, Jack.
I won't grease, but
I'm not promising I'm not punching.
Adam beefed up my punching.
I have to use it
at some point.
Just let, okay.
Just running up to him and clocking him in the mouth.
How good.
Hey, you know in The Simpsons how Milhouse takes his glasses off
and his eyes are really, really tiny?
Yeah.
That's like Adam.
Have you guys noticed? Put your glasses on and look at all of this. Look at that. Oh, look. Yeah. That's like Adam. Have you guys noticed?
Put your glasses on and look at all of us.
Look at that.
Oh, look at that.
Normal eyes, whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Now take them off and look at us again.
See?
It's just a glasses thing.
Take a few of us.
Yeah.
You look like you have tiny eyes.
No, I don't.
No, I don't, guys.
Okay. How would you know? Without your glasses, you can't...
Oh, no, I guess you took a photo of yourself.
Yeah, that's true. There you go. Mystery solved.
Adam, I'd like to run... I don't care that much.
What's closer, the wizard or the
monster? The monster, by far.
If I ran up to the wizard, could I attack?
No. Not this time.
I'll run up to the monster and punch it in the mouth.
Yep. Problem solved. Cold clock it and punch it in the mouth. Yep.
Problem solved.
Cold cluck it.
Cold poof right in its fucking jaw.
You hit.
Yeah!
You fucking know I do.
You like bop it on the chin.
It sounds so adorable.
That's right.
Do I jump over Gregson?
You do a bit of the people's elbow.
Carter is right now with the bee like,
it's just like trying to push it off.
I like that I don't know what the bee does.
What's the bee doing?
It can attack, yeah. Is it attacking?
Yeah, it is attacking him.
Good.
He's just like trying to fend it off right now.
It's really distracting him.
I should use my buzzing bee spell.
What's that?
That just makes an annoying sound.
Just in your ear and it makes it hard to concentrate on spells.
He only thinks it's like the bees everywhere.
The bees everywhere, Carter.
Grayson swings at the creature again.
He connects again.
Yes.
Guy's a boss.
He cleaves off like a massive chunk of it
Oh yeah
Yeah he gives it like a really close haircut
If you know what I mean
Does that mean cut off his head?
What?
Is that what it means?
What?
Close haircut?
Cut off his head?
Getting hopeful?
No no not that close
No
Hey
Celestial Justice Bee
Still giving us a hand
I'm glad, but I'm just saying
it would be nice to just cut the creature's head off
and then kind of be
gang up on that wizard
Oh no!
I've become undone
Carter's turn
That's always so scary
Just get distracted by the bee, mate
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
I don't know who's rooting for it anymore.
The creature like, oh, man.
Hang on.
Let me find out exactly what it does to Grayson.
Oh, no.
He picked up a critical sad card.
Crit sad.
Crit sad.
Also known as, I don't know what it's also known as.
Critical fumble.
Critical fumble. Oh, that's adorable. Am I what it's also known as. Critical fumble. Critical fumble.
Oh, that's adorable.
Am I right?
Critical success and there's critical fumble.
Who got the crit success?
The monster.
It did.
Oh, so we've got to.
Who's it?
The monster.
The creature.
Okay.
You don't know what it's called.
Ah.
Let's call it Fluffy.
Okay.
I'm going to write it down in the initiative order as Fluffy.
We've got like his creature.
We've got how Justice B.
I'd say the B. There's the bee in Fluffy.
What do you want to call the bee?
Justice Bee.
Justice Bee, yeah, okay.
It's not its actual name, but just if I'm referring to it,
I'll call it Justice Bee.
That's what I'll name it.
To name it.
I guess it doesn't really have a name.
When he names it later, when he summons it later,
will it be the same bee?
I think you can ask for the same creature. I will.
I'll request the same bee.
I'll be like, uh,
griff, pom, pom, griff. Um, just wondering
if I could get the same bee I had last time.
Depends how well this bee does, let's be honest.
You, like, summon the creature
and it's compelled to come and serve you.
Oh, okay, yeah, cool.
So maybe you could just summon it sometimes
and get some flowers. There's a really funny level spell called Gate.
Gate is the fucking best.
With Gate, you call anything.
But the rule is you literally can call anything.
If it's less powerful than you, it has to come.
If it's more powerful than you, it can choose to come,
and when it comes, it doesn't follow your orders.
Oh, boy.
That's scary. Yeah, it doesn't follow your orders. Oh, boy. That's scary?
Yeah, it's funny, though.
Anywho.
So what's Fluffy doing?
It, uh, fuck.
Jesus Christ.
It leaps on top of Grayson and tears his throat out.
Do you reckon El Potion will fix that?
Grayson's just, like, making coughing, gurgling sounds,
and he looks like he's either dead or dying.
How many hit points is he on right now?
Some people might say negative, like, seven.
Okay, I'm so full of rage now, guys.
Oh, shit.
Oh, no.
So full of rage.
I don't have, like, I've got a bit of faith in us
but not that much
uh oh
now
Carter attacks your fucking bee
no
not as sad as Grayson
but a bit sad
there's like an explosion
over where Carter is
you were punching the fucking
creature and so you didn't see it properly.
But your bee like just vanishes.
Oh no.
He's alright. Yeah, no, it doesn't die.
He'll be back. The way it works is when you
summon the creature, if it takes enough damage to die,
instead it just teleports back to
its home plane. Oh, that's not too bad.
So it's gone. It's not dead. It's gone, but not
forgotten. It didn't do much, did it? Holy shit, I have a potion of mage armor. Oh, that's not too bad. So it's gone. It's not dead. It's gone, but not forgotten. It didn't do much, did it?
Holy shit, I have a potion of
mage armor. Downing that.
And Leo.
Just
keep fighting this thing? Keep, like, flanking
and stab that. You're still, like,
flanking pretty easily with
Kriff. Yeah, flank the
sick.
You step over, but this time
Fluffy is ready for it and just
darts out of the way.
It's very quickly and
quite well
working between you two, not letting one of you
get the upper hand.
This thing looks smart. Whatever it is, it looks smart.
You see intelligence in its eyes.
Can I attack and then move?
Or is that it?
You can move now if you want.
If you move away from it though,
it'll get an attack of opportunity against you.
Because you're disengaging
without properly finishing a fight.
You can do it though.
It might not kill you.
I don't think it'll kill you in one go.
But he's little.
It could just be like ob, ob. Oh.
You are not wrong.
I'll just stay. I kind of want to trip off onto that wizard.
I feel him unattended is a bad idea.
I am so full of rage. Before I was like,
man, I'm pretty pissed off. And then I'm like full of rage.
I'm like, no, I agree.
I think I might
shoot that bastard.
I want to say cunt, but I'm not going to.
You just did.
Yeah.
We all heard it.
Yeah.
Okay.
So your first arrow, like, strikes him in the thigh.
I hope it strikes him in the fucking face.
Like in the armory.
In the face.
Bleeding damage, damn it.
Do we need mage fire left?
No, we do not.
Nope.
Guys, we have not much.
We have...
I got a disguise kit.
A one moose head.
Piff the moose head.
No, I'd have to
wrest it from its headrest.
I was like, can I chuck
the moose head onto the monster?
Your first arrow strikes him in the thigh and he doubles over.
Your second arrow goes clean through his head.
Fuck yes!
Fuck you, piece of shit wizard.
I've never been so pumped about fucking D&D before.
Carter slumps to the floor, very dead.
Oh, yes! I didn't expect this. deep floor. Carter slumps to the floor very dead.
Oh, yes.
I didn't expect this.
This is an unexpected win.
Wait, what? Are we creatures still around?
I would say, well, actually,
I'm not sure if this part ends when you die.
Let's hope so.
Hey, guys. Finally, all those
things that I don't keep saying
Like hey Ali
You're the one
Who does like
The most damage
But you fuckers
Are always in the way
Because it's always like
If you shoot
You're probably gonna
Shoot Jackson
In the back of the head
And I'm like
Oh I can't shoot him then
Now
Fucking
Everyone fucks with Grayson
You gotta crit good
And like
A good time
I'm gonna fuck people up
Crit
Crit hap
And then like Power of love Is just powering you on I'm gonna say it disappears After that Good and like a good time. We're going to fuck people up. Crit hap. Got a crit hap.
And we're like power of love is just powering you on.
I'm going to say it disappears after that.
Yes!
The fight is over.
Yes!
Let's run over to Grayson and just like fill him full of health potions.
Like rub his tummy and just like glug, glug, glug, glug, glug.
Oh, you're going to be okay, Grayson.
Just everything.
Don't even worry, man.
Come on.
It's like two.
And then I'm going to yell out to the king.
You would probably have to pour it down his throat.
We'll do it.
It's gory work.
We will do it.
And yelling out to the pirate king,
bring us more health potions, we've defeated your wizard.
Man, I'm pumped.
Grayson's neck
remakes itself.
And you hear some bones resetting.
I pull the potion out just before it heals over it.
That could have been messy.
A lot of his wounds, like, fix themselves.
He's not, like, he's still bleeding pretty heavily,
but he's stable now.
I'm going to, like, put my hand over whatever open wound he's got.
Sort of, like, rouses a little bit.
He seems a little out of it.
Like, he's delirious with pain, but he's conscious.
It's over.
Hold him.
You just hear a very subtle...
We did it, guys.
Turn around to the Pirate King, like wringing my hands.
Like, did we...
Are we good?
Are we good?
He seems very pleased with himself.
Did we do good?
Yes.
You can take the body if you want.
We do.
We'd love to.
Love that.
That'd be great.
Hey, guys, we didn't destroy this one's head.
Body's pretty heavy, though, and you kind of have to carry Grayson as well.
Can I check the wizard?
Does he have any cool things on him?
Not really, no.
Can I check the wizard?
Does he have any cool things on him?
Not really, no.
Hey, Ainsley, do you want to, with your sword, try and behead him?
Because my dagger's not great, as we've all learned.
Is it your dagger?
Beforehand, I'm like, hey, well, Pirate King,
I just want to make sure this isn't out of order if we cut his head off here.
Would you prefer we do it somewhere where we're not going to stain a fucking carpet?
I have another appointment after you.
Please.
Yeah, all right.
So either you want to or give me your sword and I'll do it.
Which one do you want?
This is your kill.
I'm pissed.
You're right.
You guys immediately noticed that there's another robed man standing next to the Pirate King who has a very pleased expression on his face.
Look, see, I told you guys.
When Wizard King dies, you know that would make us the Wizard King.
Avery, just cut his head off.
Just cut his head off.
Oh, my God.
That's what I'm doing.
I'm going to cut his head off.
Fuck.
One of the half-orcs approaches you with an axe to help you,
and then the pirate king just, like, waves and says no.
Oh, my God.
You're the only one who would be good at this,
and you botch it as well.
Damn it.
Rats.
You, like, yeah, you make a fucking mess of it.
You get, like, a ragged a ragged upper jaw and above.
Can we get the pirate king, mate, buddy, chum, old pal.
Let's not take too many liberties.
Can you just do us a quick fave?
Can you write us a letter to say these ragamuffins fucked him up
and then we'll be out of your kingdom.
You can go back to whatever pirate fund you guys have.
Out of curiosity, if we gave the dead
Carter a health
potion, if we gave the dead
Carter a health potion, would it fix his
neck?
Health potions do not work
after death.
That'll give you a second go at
beheading.
Also, if we ever need anyone killed
I just gotta just genuinely point to us
I have an entire guild of assassins for that
How does one join that guild?
Because I kind of like an assassin
It'd be nice
He leans over and just like
He doesn't hand it to you because you guys are still on that fighting bit
He hands it to like an aide And then the aide hands it to you.
It's like a little business card and it's got a name on it.
Yes.
Thanking you, Mr. King of Pirates.
Put that in my back pocket.
So I'm going to give you some advice
that I don't usually give to people in your position.
Oh, this is exciting.
You amuse me.
I'd leave while the getting's good.
Good? Okay, nice.
Grab the head by the hair and chill on out.
As you leave, you, like, pass some very scared-looking adventurers at Manacles.
I want to give them a thumbs up while I'm helping Grayson out.
I want to get the head and be like...
grace it out. I want to get the head and be like...
Can I just search the
shackled adventurers, see what they've
got? You slow down,
one of the half-orcs bumps you in the back.
I just wanted to see if they had some health
potions I could steal.
Well, once you get past those adventurers,
there's nothing much to steal unless you want to
try taking a statue or a thing.
I meant the adventurers.
Like I said, if you slow down, one of the orcs bumps you in the back.
Could I use that bump and bump into them and kind of use sleight of hand
and see if they've got anything cool?
Sam, it's tough jeopardizing our escape.
I don't want to fuck up those adventurers.
Sam, it's still an escape.
You botch it very epically.
Hand down the front of the pants.
It's like not subtle.
It's like, you know how you'd see on a movie,
like a thief snatching an old lady's purse?
Yeah.
Like that, but imagine you don't get the purse.
I like take a card and just do a trick and be like,
ta-da, I just keep walking.
Yeah, after that, there's no real opportunities to steal,
especially without being noticed.
You're like led out of the manor and they close the gate.
Let's get on a fucking boat.
Let's go home, guys.
Wait.
Let's go to Goldcrest.
Well, Carcery first because they thought they wanted this guy.
And the bounty.
I was getting the whole point, Leo.
Or Goldcrust.
To Goldcrust.
It is amusing that you have become the moral,
the fucking smart one in the party.
How did that happen?
As the gates are closing,
Jump, what's his fucking name?
Jigg Lump.
Jiggle Lump just like scooches his way quickly through the closing gate.
I don't even fucking make eye contact.
Where were you during the fight?
I had a bee, Jiggle Lump, and that helped.
A magic bee.
I don't know this piece of shit. With a little tear Jiggle just tucks into his backpack
A little bee costume
He was the bee the whole time
Except not really
Would be funny though
Alright
Goldcrest
Where's Goldcrest
How do we get to Goldcrest
We'll catch a boat Alright, Goldcrest Where's Goldcrest? How do we get to Goldcrest? How do we get there?
Can I walk there?
How do we get to Goldcrest?
We'll catch a boat
That worked really well for us last time
when we walked across ice
We're at a pirate capital
There'll be a boat
Is it hot?
Oh my god, it's hot
Oh yeah, it is too
He's a fucking idiot
Yeah, you guys are in a very
You guys are in a very tropical setting
So you could try chartering a ship from here
But as you are in the pirate city
It's gonna probably end up being a pretty serious hassle
Because you're more likely than not to charter a pirate
And a pirate, like, once you've given him the gold
He has very little incentive to keep you alive
Oh my goodness
How much gold did we get from the
Pirate King? Any? Or did we only just
escape with our lives?
The Pirate King
gave you your life.
Yeah, rat. That's true.
And I guess Carter's body.
Can we pickle that?
What is pickling?
You don't have that spell.
I don't want to pickle a corpse, Adam. What is the best? You don't have that spell. I don't want to pickle a corpse.
Adam.
What is the best way to get off gold?
Ainsley.
You somehow
have some skill in this area.
Oh, rad.
Hang on.
Is it cooking?
No.
I'm just saying.
We have to present proof that we have killed this wizard.
Can we salt it, though?
We have to go across our country to this place,
and we're probably going to stop by another place before we go to that place.
Adam, would a skull of the wizard suffice?
What?
The reasons I must have a skull are probably not.
Because Zama wants to preserve the body so that we can have proof that we did it.
You could preserve, like, the head.
Yeah, that's doable.
The skill required is survival here.
It sounds like a general...
Oh, no, you've got decent survival.
Oh, good.
Oh, lucky.
Yeah, you'd need the resources to do this.
So you'd need, like, some sort of container.
Vinegar?
Is vinegar used in pickling?
I don't actually know.
Yep, okay.
Vinegar, and then Ainsley could conceivably do this.
Let's just pickle the head,
because then we can carry that.
Do you have a blade?
Are you just taking the head?
What blade do you have to separate head from body?
We did that.
Yeah, I think we separated the head from the body.
Oh, that's right, you have already.
I'm pretty sure you mangled it.
I can't remember you ever doing it right.
We did mangle it.
We mangled it well.
So, regardless...
You're getting a lot of odd stares as you walk around
and your backpack drips blood.
Oh, yeah.
Is there, like, a store or a stall
that might sell that kind of thing?
You know what?
Actually, I don't even have to roll.
No.
You're in, like, the upper high-class district.
There's no markets here.
Are there stores?
There's a mansion here.
It's where the Pirate King lives.
In like a...
How you would say?
Relatively speaking,
this is the nice part of the city.
Pirate town.
Yeah.
All right.
You could go...
If you travel...
The closer you are to the docks
The better it is
Right now you're like
At the top of the city
Which is the furthest
From the docks
Let's walk down to the docks
And on the way
We can pickle a head
Hey who wants to carry Grayson
Because he's like
Really bad
I will do it
I'll do it
Wait a minute
How did you guys
He's still on negative
Do we need to fix him
I think I think you've stabilized him.
I don't know if you healed him.
No, we did not.
All right, let's heal him up.
Is there a temple or a cleric?
It's a pirate capital, Sam.
Yes.
Pirates might pray.
Pirates certainly need to be healed somehow.
There are equivalent- type temple services,
but it'll cost you a lot.
I'll pay him.
Okay.
Anything.
Do you not have any health potions?
Does no one have a health potion?
We use.
Oh, we've got a couple.
I think we've got one left.
And he started to heal.
Is he not healing more?
No, I'm out of health potions, guys.
We've pulled one down.
No, I have six.
He's like open neck.
Yes.
It was very gruesome.
Oh, that's right.
I remember that.
Yes.
He's unconscious still, though.
He's unconscious, so he's still slumped in someone's arms.
Okay, I'll just grab a fucking health potion and just shove it down his throat.
I think he's okay.
He's just unconscious.
You don't need to shove it down his throat.
You don't want to OD him on health potions.
You can't do that.
Well, seeing that he's a weird place, it is possible to OD on health potions.
That's awesome.
Become too healthy
If you reach double your hit points you explode
Oh really?
That's awesome
You just explode straight up
Alright, well let's head down to the docks
You can carry Grayson, or you can, I don't care
Let's give him Hoth potion
He's fine!
No, but I don't want to carry him
It's not going to wake him up
You can try rousing him Oh, I have rouse as a him. It's not going to wake him up. Won't it wake him up? Will it wake him up? You can try rousing him.
You don't have to do it.
Oh, I have rouse as a cantrip.
It would work, yeah.
You could just try to wake him up, though.
Wait, no, I don't have rouse.
That's my rouse.
I thought I had rouse.
Okay, does someone want to wake him up?
I'll wake him up.
I'll kiss.
It's such a bad rouse.
Okay, Leo, you try first.
I have the bow slime.
Wake up.
No. He's not responsive. Wake up. No.
He's run responsive.
You'd think it would be something that could just happen,
but apparently not.
Ainsley?
I will try.
Yeah, you rouse him.
Yes!
I can rouse and arouse.
What, what?
I guess it's the power of love.
Yeah.
It's the power of love.
No, that's copyrighted.
We can't do that.
We're going to go to jail now.
Well, it was okay. It was so unlike what it to go to jail now. Well, it was okay.
It was so unlike what it was meant to sound like.
I think it was fine.
Ow.
Adam, you said nothing like Huey Lewis in the news.
You have to accept that.
Adam, I'd like to look around the docks for the most trustworthy looking ship.
Okay, well, you're going to head all the way down to the docks?
I suppose.
Where else are we going to go?
We've got to go to the pickle place.
Alright, let's go to the pickle place
first.
We'll go get a pickle ahead.
Peter Pepper's
Pickle Emporium.
Can I get a highs or lows?
Poor choice, Jackson.
So, it takes you quite a while
to find any place
such as that
The sun's going down by the time you find it
and they're just starting to close shop
Oh hey hey hey, hi
The owner of this
It's kind of like a
butcher's
but you get the impression he sells a lot of different things
He's wearing an apron covered in muck Kind of like a butcher's, but it's like you get the impression he sells a lot of different things.
He's wearing like an apron covered in muck and blood and shit.
And he looks like he's had a long day.
Hey, mate.
You ever pickled a wizard?
I don't know what to roll for that.
We need some ingredients to pickle. We need a jar About as big enough to fit a head
We need like a mason jar
And some pickling juices
And spices
What do you call that
We have money
He does the money gesture
Dollar dollar bills yo gesture
He starts gesturing with his hands
And he's like counting off with his hands
You guys know how to count, right?
Are you mute?
He nods.
Oh, sad.
No tongue?
He nods.
Pirates.
How much does he count off?
He counts off six, but you don't know if he means silver, gold, or copper.
So here's what we'll do, right, guys?
We'll start.
Six copper?
He shakes his head.
Silver? Six silver? He nods. All right. Sure, done, done. we'll start six copper he shakes his head silver
he nods
alright
sure done
it's good because we have
six silver pieces
left
oh good no
the copper was for the jacket
I want to keep that
the whole way through
and some gold
like I'm kind of like
trying to keep
the jacket or the copper
the copper
oh wait
we sold the jacket
for the copper
keep up carnival
I'll drop my pencil
I'm sorry
that thing that happened what episode one yes Iivore. I'll drop my pencil. I'm sorry. That thing that happened, what, episode one?
Yes.
We'll give him, I'll give him six silver pieces, whatever.
Okay.
Yep.
I'm flush with Fluff, yeah.
He walks in, gestures for you to follow in.
Okay, we'll follow him inside.
He rummages around in some, like, back part,
and while he's there, you guys basically have free reign
to just look around the front part of the store, but everything's been packed
away, so before you try to steal
anything, unless you want
the ice that he puts the meat on.
Maybe. There's a lot of ice.
Aw, Grace might have a headache.
Is it like a bag of ice?
Fill your pockets with ice. Grace is like, every now and then,
just lets out like a moan
in pain. Fill your pockets
with ice. See if he's like burning up. Yeah, I would like to do those things. Hens pain. Fill your pockets with ice, Ainsley.
See if he's like burning up.
Yeah, I would like to do those things.
Ainsley, fill your pocket with ice.
He doesn't seem to have a fever.
Okay, well, I would have like a little sack for money, wouldn't I?
Yeah, I guess.
You'd have a money path.
Just deal ice.
Here's my money.
Yeah, that's it. How much gold do you have, A path. Steal ice? It is my... Yeah. Are you going to...
You could...
How much gold do you have, Ainsley?
I'm going to put my gold in my pocket.
Are you going to have wet gold?
That's even better.
I'll have clean gold.
So before your ice theft can continue,
the butcher or the cook or whatever you want to call him
Comes back around
And he's got a big jar
Like a big mason jar type thing
That looks like it could hold a human head
Excellent
He doesn't slam it, doesn't break it
He just puts it down on the counter
And gestures for you
To slip the head in?
I take it out of my backpack
He seems completely
nonplussed at this.
He doesn't seem to care. I drop it in.
You just walk it in? Yeah.
Like a wet sort of...
Is it full of pickling goo?
No, it's not. But when you put it in, he starts
filling it up from some...
He pulls a container out of freaking nowhere, it looks like,
and there's vinegar in that.
Will it be good to... I ask him, will it be good to
just keep, like,
and we can just take it away now? Does it need to sit for a bit?
What's the go? He sort of shrugs.
You don't know?
Yeah, he sort of, like,
yeah, he shrugs again. He doesn't seem sure.
Like, he doesn't seem to,
he doesn't seem 100% sure.
He doesn't pickle heads every day.
He wasn't shocked by the head pickling,
so I'm guessing he's done it before.
Or he lives in a pirate city.
Shut up, Adam.
All right, well, I guess once the head's done, I'll put it...
He seals it as well for you, actually.
You're a champ, Mike.
Yeah, he has a lid, he puts that on,
and then I think, from my experience,
if you heat the jar, then it properly seals.
He does that as well.
From your head-pickling experience.
He doesn't cook it for very long to seal it, though.
You get the impression that he just wants to get out.
Yeah.
All right.
Good.
And he gives it back to you.
Let's chuck that in your backpack.
Awesome.
Let's just wrap that up quite nicely.
Probably if you have a blanket or something like that, Chris.
Do you have those wizard robes?
I have a disguise kit.
Oh, yeah, we still have the wizard robe.
Do we, though? Do we, though? We don't have that wizard robes? I have a disguise kit. Oh, yeah, we still have the wizard robe. Do we, though?
Do we, though?
We don't have that cape.
You gave that to a drunk wizard.
We have a single moose head.
That's not going to help.
I have mage armor.
No, that's a potion of.
We'll have some old clothes that might be shredded.
Yeah, you have, like, those shredded rags.
Yeah.
Just a lot of dice rolls.
Oh, it's a worry
you're all pretty concerned
with the jar right
yeah good
oh guys we got robbed
you're in the store there's no one else in the store
except the guy who's like
he's across the counter
maybe I'll take dignity
I'll give you this much a robbery has taken place
yeah
yeah alright look I'll take dignity. I don't know. I'll give you this much. A robbery has taken place. Yeah.
Yeah, all right.
Yeah, look, I'll wrap up the jar and something from my disguise kit, you know, whatever.
Okay.
And I'll put it in my backpack.
Good.
All right, thank you, shopkeep.
You're not much obliged.
Bummer about the tongue.
Wraps the table.
What?
Sorry?
Bummer about the tongue.
He gives you an odd look. Yeah, an odd look And gestures for you to leave
Alright, we'll chuff outside
You walk out and
Jiggle Lump is waiting for you outside
With a fresh fish in its mouth
Jiggle Lump, give it to me!
While he's being aggressive
I would like to kneel down real quietly
And be like, hey, Jiggly, and see what happens.
I want a penny.
Jiggle Lump seems hesitant to approach you because Criff is also there.
Give me the fish, Jiggle Lump.
I'm a hungry boy.
I'm going to take a step away from Criff and just be like, Jiggly, Jiggly.
Jiggle Lump puts you, Ainsley, between himself and Chris.
And he approaches you.
Jigglelump, you are the worst cat.
And then does he give me the fish?
No, he starts to eat it himself.
But he acts as if he expects you to pat his belly as well.
I will do that.
I hate this cat.
I'm going to look around and see what's happening in the street.
The sun is basically set
so the vibrant
nightlife of this city is starting to
show its face. You hear
screaming in the distance.
Somebody pick up Jigglem because I won't.
I'll pick up Jigglem.
How am I going to carry
Jigglem and Grayson?
Grayson at this point needs very
minimal sort of like...
I'll do it with my half-elf strength.
No, half-ling strength.
Half-elves have strength.
You have...
I'll just hold his ankle.
I'm helping, guys.
Yeah!
You like brace his ankle so that he doesn't fall.
Yes.
It will not work.
All right, well, I guess we head down to the docks
then if that's close
where else can we go?
it's night time do we want to find lodging?
you might be able to find a lost ship heading out
or you guys don't know a lot about pirates
maybe pirates like to launch at night
maybe you shouldn't pick a pirate ship
to go on once again
well that's what we're doing, Adam.
It worked last time, Adam.
Did it just?
The silver was a delight.
The silver was not a pirate.
When did we get on a pirate ship?
I don't think we had a pirate ship.
We've never gotten on a pirate ship, Adam.
So we don't know if it's bad yet.
We would like to go on a pirate ship, Adam.
I put my hands on my hips and I kind of just like look around, whistle, and kind of looking like, hey, maybe I'd like to go on a pirate ship, Adam. I put my hands on my hips and I kind of just like look around, whistle and kind of looking like, hey, maybe I'd like to go on a pirate ship.
And I would say, hey, man, you want to go on a pirate ship?
Yeah.
Are we acting something out right now?
You were meant to follow along.
That's what my character's doing.
Highs or lows?
Highs.
Highs.
Highs.
Highs.
A man looms out of the darkness.
Want to see a dead body?
Do I?
Yes.
No, no.
He pulls a weapon?
No, no.
Oh, no.
I regret that.
Guys, I kind of expected this.
No.
And now we jump to initiative.
This is a little bit on you guys.
I'm going to see a dead body.
You will.
It'll be his.
That's what I was going to say.
You ruined it.
That was going to be my one liner.
I had a few seconds there to think of that.
I was like, something's being handed to me on a silver platter.
I know.
It was just going to be like, was there a one liner to be had?
Oh, my God, Griff.
You're on one hit point.
Oh, my God, I am.
Shit.
Have we not healed?
Nope.
No, you haven't had a chance.
I forgot to.
Ainsley, you're not doing so well either.
Oh no.
You're on like a hot 11, I think.
What a mild.
You're full hit points.
Yes.
My paper's 16.
So when he said,
you want to see their body
and he drew his sword,
I want to say...
He drew a dagger.
So he drew a dagger.
I want to say,
okay, no wait.
What do I want to say, guys?
What's witty?
Yes, yours.
Yes, yours.
I draw my rapier.
Rapier in hand, you prepare to face down your foes.
Will you live?
Will you die?
