Sandspance Radio, much like that U not all. We're also starting up some Patreon-only shows, one entirely based around D&D. So if you have a burning question to
ask Adam, or any of us about the world he's created, the lore of D&D, or just how we run
our campaigns, email them to us at sandspantsradio at gmail.com and we'll see what we can do.
Now, enjoy the show and thank you for your support.
There's nothing sadder than a group of adults sitting around a table trying to fight imaginary goblins.
But that's exactly what we're doing today.
Welcome to episode 31 of D&D is for Nerds.
I'm Ellie Kathleen, playing the role of Ainsley Foggyfeather.
Across from me is Joel Zamet, playing the role of Leo Shadow.
And next to me is Jackson Bailey playing the role of Krupa.
Cassius Christy.
Yeah.
And across the table is our, well, our DM, Adam Carnivorous Dinosaur.
Guys, this isn't okay.
I told you to shush.
Previously on D&D is for Dents.
Told you to shush.
Cassius, can you see?
No.
You're taking blindness very well.
Drink myself into oblivion.
Because you've leveled up.
Yes.
A great surprise.
Look, dancing lights.
And in this room is quite obviously the dragon's hoard.
Maybe the biggest mound of gold any of you have ever seen.
Sweetheart, remember how that elf wizard guy told us don't take too much?
I'm going to warn you, please don't take too much.
It's okay, he says.
I'm only going to take what I need.
You see a dead dragon.
Past the dragon, there's this mannequin wearing nothing but an amulet.
Dragon gets up.
I'm not going to fight, right?
I'm blind.
I'm in no shape.
The dragon's teeth glisten with long, unused saliva.
The creature takes its maw and tries to bring it around Grayson.
Grayson just is holding this thing's mouth open.
He's so epic.
He turns to, I don't know, Ainsley.
I guess he's next to you.
He turns to you, Ainsley, and he's like, don't let it do this.
I won't, and I'd like to run towards it.
Cassius, it's your turn.
I'd like to run towards the...
You're still next to the dragon.
Yeah, but is it like the head?
You don't see this, man.
Oh my god, I'm blind!
That's true, you don't.
I guess I just hack wildly again.
You swing again.
Once again, Jesus Christ,
you are fucking amazingly lucky
that you don't need to get past its armor.
That's so good.
It was just a random choice of spell,
and boy, did it work in this little girl's favor.
If you cut Grayson, I'll cut you.
You deal six points of damage, Cassius.
Your flame blade continues to burn through this thing.
Good job.
Fuck yeah.
It didn't stink before, but it does now.
Burning flesh fills the air.
It's like burning rotted flesh too.
It's the smell of burning flesh.
So grody.
Actually, you don't smell rot, really.
You're not sure why, but it's rotting, but you do not smell rot.
That's bizarre.
It's magic.
Leo? Probably because it's magic, guys.
Do I have to touch someone to baboo slime them?
Yes.
Ah.
Just grab it and baboo slime it.
No, I was going to, like, grab you.
Baboo slime Grayson.
Yeah.
Would that do anything?
Moving to Grayson is your turn.
Okay.
Do it.
Still.
Do it.
This is not the baddest solution.
Can I, like, get my daggers out, dual wield some daggers,
and just try and stab the fuck out of this?
Slashy slashy.
So you can use two weapons, but there's penalties involved.
One dagger.
I'll just do one then.
You can still do it, there's just a penalty, that's all.
I'm blind.
We're fighting with penalties, it's fine.
Does it penalise the one attack?
Explain dual wielding to me
Because you're only using daggers
It would only be a
Oh actually
It's like a negative four to your rolls
Oh
Negative four to your first attack
And then a negative six to your second attack
Just the one
We're hopeless as it is
We don't need extra
Oh no
Adam's having a casual chuckle.
Oh, no.
Adam.
What's going on, Adam?
I'm so afraid.
Two ones in a row.
Leo.
Leo.
If I roll, so I rolled, you got a critical fail.
I rolled a one to confirm your critical fail.
If I roll one more time and get a one again,
that's like a one in 8,000 chance,
you accidentally kill yourself.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Do you want to roll it?
Do it, do it, do it, do it.
It's like a low opportunity, but it can happen.
I'm so afraid.
I can't see it.
It's so far away.
12.
Okay, it's a critical fail, but you don't kill yourself.
You're not like, whoops.
I suddenly think this knife is a sandwich.
Close to...
What?
I hate you so much, Adam.
Okay.
Oh, God!
This could not be worse. This is the best.
Yes, Adam, what have I done now?
Cool.
So you're, like, running down the podium with the dagger in hand.
You trip, stumble.
You hit the ground.
Good.
And you, like, hit your head, and everything, like, sort of, you know,
has that quality to
it.
You stand up.
Ainsley, you look over at Leo.
There's a dagger sticking out of his ear.
Leo, you're deaf.
Oh my God.
I think you might be permanently deaf.
You're blind.
I'm deaf.
Oh my God.
That's not good.
Now I need to remove Ainsley's speech.
Oh my goodness.
Well, I'm pretty sure I am speechless at how stupid that is.
Deaf in one ear or just deaf?
Just deaf.
Okay.
I'm not sure how you did it.
That is through the brain.
You dug it into the hearing center or something.
How many points of damage did I take?
You take no damage, though.
Oh.
It was like a precision cut.
I am that fucking good.
Are you alright?
Does he know that there's a dagger in your ear?
What?
Are you saying something?
How are you going to tell him?
Ainsley, it's your turn.
I would like to continue to hack away.
What could I do to save Grayson?
You can try to cut its neck off, but how successful you'll be.
You know the worst thing about you being deaf?
Like, you're a sneaky boy.
You're not going to be able to hear if people are coming.
You're like, I'm good.
I'm good.
I just gather around behind you.
Everything's good for me.
Oh, dear.
So what's the deal with Grayson?
He's just, like, holding the guy's...
Is he, like, holding the drawer?
What if I run?
It's like, you know, in the cartoons where the alligator comes up
and the little mouse is like just holding the alligator's mouth open?
I would like to tackle him.
I would like to run and then tackle him so hard
that he gets out of the mouth.
The dragon would probably attack you instead then
and it would get a free attack.
Then it will be its turn.
Do you love Grayson that much?
I'm not sure because I just became magic,
so I'm not sure if I'm ready to sacrifice this amazing power.
You're having this moment of like, Grayson,
oh, my new magical ability.
Hold on.
Can I command entanglement?
What do you mean?
If you cast entangle, there's no way to not get a friend.
You'll get the dragon.
But what if I get entangle and then aim it at Grayson
so that it takes Grayson and then rips it out?
You can't aim them like that.
Well, that's not as magical as I thought magic would be.
It's just like the vines will grab anything that come into their area.
That's not as useful as it should be.
Go for his neck.
Just attack his neck.
Yeah, I think.
Grab his teeth out. Oh, my God. Oh, you attack his neck. Locking teeth. Yeah, I think. Grab his teeth out.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you're so afraid of Grayson dying.
I know, I know.
But, you see, my option is continue to hack away at his neck,
which I'm doing okay at,
or tackle him and possibly sacrifice myself.
As a percentage, how likely is it that I would die
if I tried to tackle Grayson?
Well, the dragon will get a free hit.
So if you think you can survive
being bit,
how much damage would it take? You don't know.
Like less than 26? You don't
know. Then let's not do that.
Slash his neck.
Yeah, slash his neck.
Took you a long time to deliberate
on this. I know. And I'm still
not sure if I made the right decision, guys.
You bring your sword down on the neck.
The longsword is not the
beheading ideal weapon.
It's also a dragon. It's not the
fucking ideal enemy, Adam.
So you hit it in the neck
and you draw a deep cut, but you're
a long way from chopping its neck off.
I should have tackled, guys. You deal
five points of damage.
Oh, fuck. That's alright, I'm gonna keep
flailing away.
What?
It's Grayson's turn.
He pushes the dragon off
and takes a swing with his long sword.
Oh, so he got out of the mouth? Grayson, you should have put your spear on there
and ducked away. Silly Grayson.
Did he get out of its mouth?
It made an attempt.
He was like, he just it wasn't as big a deal as you guys were making it out to be.
Oh, all right.
We were panicking.
I was going to sacrifice myself for him to just step out.
He deals eight points of damage.
Grayson's such a machine.
I know, he's great.
We could go, probably.
It's turn.
We'll meet you back at the cafe out the front, Grayson.
You got it, Grayson. I'll do you a coffee it'll be fine
It really likes Grayson
It makes another attempt
Gets him this time
The mouth with like a
Snapping sound crunches in
On Grayson
Oh Jesus
Not ooh
Bad no cool
If he swallows him whole it'll be like Jonah and the Whale.
No, it'll come out of his...
13 points of damage.
It'll take him out of the stomach with the gold.
Yeah.
Ooh, why is Grayson...
Oh, right.
Grayson found out a thing.
What?
Grayson, remember he fell down the hole?
Yeah, I remember he fell down the hole.
That's right.
He's pretty bad, the wound is.
Uh-oh.
Silly Grayson.
He's still going.
He's not going to die soon, but it's going to try and swallow him.
So, you know.
Let's hope that Grayson can fight his way out of a dragon's neck.
Also, like they're saying, his stomach's burst open.
Yeah, so he can just crawl through.
The dragon, like, chomps, throws Grayson up into the air,
and swallows him.
Oh, my God.
What just happened, Adam?
Adam!
It was as bad as you thought it was.
Adam!
Ainsley?
Adam?
Sorry.
It's Cassius' turn.
Joda and the whale.
Joda and the whale.
Climb inside!
Climb inside, step through.
Yeah, I don't know.
Do I know what's happening?
You can hear Ainsley.
Screaming?
Yeah, Ainsley's screaming.
I'm screaming.
You can hear Ainsley screaming.
Okay, I don't know what's going on.
You can hear snapping and gnashing of teeth.
Who knows?
I'm going to keep attacking.
Mr. Fists is freaking the fuck out.
Calm down, Mr. Fists!
No, funny.
Someone's dying.
Stop it.
Oh, shit.
Can he just...
Can he just...
You hit again.
Can he just swim out
and come out the stomach hole?
He can try.
You deal another six points of damage.
You're hacking away!
You're really just going at this.
We saw the gold just fall down.
Leo?
It's fine.
I pull the dagger out of my ear and be like,
I'll try again.
I'm deaf, guys.
I love the idea of this.
So much drama. And that's your turn. You're trying to calm down Mr. Fizz. I'm deaf, guys. I love the idea of this. So much drama.
And that's your turn.
You're trying to calm down Mr. Fizz.
I'm screaming.
Jason's dying and this one in the background is like...
With my dagger.
You hit as well?
Finally.
Do a little bit of the ear, finger in the ear.
Maybe not because it's like a wound.
Oh, God.
Oh, boy.
I'm extra deaf, Gabe.
Oh, wow, good job.
You deal three points of damage, which is pretty much max for you.
Sick.
Sick.
See, you should climb in after that because you're little.
Yeah.
You can fit in a dragon's throat.
Okie dokie, Ainsley.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Do you want to try, I don't know, chop its head off again or something?
If I chop its head off, will I chop off Grayson?
You don't know where Grayson is right now.
Just keep swinging.
Go in blind fury.
Yeah, yeah.
Go into one of your typical Ainsley rages.
Remember what happened with Carter and the beast?
Yeah.
You know what?
Fuck it.
You swing.
Yes.
But its horn gets in the way.
That's rude.
You cut off its horn, but the dragon doesn't need horns.
We can keep that horn.
Well, I would like to use that horn to stab it in the eyes.
No, just keep hacking. I don't think it... You keep going and going and going. We can keep that horn. Well, I would like to use that horn to stab it in the eyes. No, just keep hacking.
I don't think it...
You keep going and going and going.
We'll get to you in a sec.
It's Grayson's turn now.
Oh, my God, what's he doing?
Get free, Grayson.
You are literally our own weapon.
I know.
We will die without you, Grayson.
I need you in more ways than one.
Oh, no, he's getting hurt.
He's getting stomach acid.
Adam's so happy.
Grayson doesn't show up.
What do you mean he doesn't show up?
What do you mean? You can't show up. What do you mean he doesn't show up?
What do you mean?
Funny jokes from Adam.
Oh my god.
This is beautiful. No, it's not, Adam.
Stop it. I've never been this happy.
It's the dragon's turn.
Oh, great. He swallows extra
hard.
The dragon spins around
And attacks the pain in its butt
Cassius
I was just stabbing it in the butt
It brings its maw around you
So like Cassius
You're like just hacking, hacking, hacking
And then there's this wet sodden feeling around you
Did we win?
I think it's lagged on you
It just spits on me You take 14 points of damage I'm very powerful sodden feeling around you. Did we win? I think it slagged on you.
It just spits on me.
You take 14 points of damage. Oh, it's not.
I'm very powerful.
Yeah, you're fine.
I'm fine, whatever.
Wait, did it just chomp me,
but, like, it's about to try to eat you as well?
That's unfortunate.
I'll get Grayson, don't worry.
Thanks, man.
You know what?
You're warming up to me.
It's happening.
I thought it might.
I thought it might not.
It's happening.
You're warming up.
Oh, no.
It chomps around you and tries to suck you in,
but you like, you do, you pull a Grayson, basically.
You push its mouth back open.
That's awesome.
Can you get fucking Mr. Fizz to do something?
Cassius, it's your turn.
Hey, how powerful is the water I can create?
You could flush Grayson out.
Could I flush Grayson out? You could try.
It'll get a free attack on you again if you...
Oh no, you can cast defensively, actually.
So yeah, you can try to.
Yeah, I'm gonna try and flush Grayson out.
So good. This is a...
And he'll have like a shower at the same time.
You fail to cast defensively,
though. You're like
trying to concentrate on the spell, but you're like...
You take your hands out of the dragon's mouth, and the dragon's more closer. You're like trying to concentrate on the spell, but you're like, you take your hands out of
the dragon's mouth and the dragon's more closer.
You're like, ah!
And you just push back.
Fair enough.
Your hands are busy.
Leo, it's your turn.
Keep going.
Mr. Fizz is a little owl.
So Rapier's going to do less damage than a dagger.
Potentially.
Oh, Adam. It depends on the rolls
Good stuff, Adam
It depends on the rolls
I'll get out my rapier and stab
You don't hit
You're like, it's a tiny little point
And you're trying to find a chink in its armor
Damn it
But you have unfortunately come round to the side
Where there are no chinks in the armor
If you were on the other side, though Man, rotted away armor. Damn it. But you have unfortunately come round to the side where there are no chinks in the armor.
If you were on the other side, though,
man, rotted away. Grody.
Yeah. Unpleasant.
Ainsley, keep going.
Yes, I would like to. Just keep swinging and swinging and swinging. I would like absolute fury, please, Adam. You hit it again.
Good. Ooh, good job.
You deal, what is it? Yeah,
ten points of damage. Good. Fuck yeah.
That's like, what's that?
Like a total of 40 out of...
You're halfway through the neck now.
7,000 fucking points.
Oh, yes.
Keep hacking.
We'll take that dragon head back.
That wizard will be like, I don't want this.
Okay.
Ainsley, Leo, and not Cassius, you see from around where the belly area is, a little sword
pokes out.
Yes!
Oh, he's so fucking epic!
Grayson, my man.
He deals 10 points of damage.
Who?
Grayson.
Grayson.
How did that happen?
Coming out.
He cut his way out.
How does he heal?
What?
He does 10 points of damage.
Sorry, sorry.
Did I say heal?
No, you didn't.
No, you didn't at all.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, guys. You said deal. Yeah. I'm sorry did I say heal no you didn't no you didn't at all sorry I'm sorry
you said deal
yeah
I'm sorry
I apologise
yeah Grayson
cuts his way out
he lands
with like a
he's covered in mucus
and shit
oh he's gonna have a shower
and I'm gonna do
the next week
and it's the dragon's turn
it's like Cassius
maybe you should heal
heal Gray
I don't know
can you hear me
hey guess who it loved though can you heal me is it going back maybe you should heal Grayson. No, I don't know. Can you hear me? Hey, guess who it loved, though?
Is it going back to him?
It goes back for Grayson.
No!
How's it doing it without half a neck?
It's a zombie.
It don't care.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
It's Zambo.
It champs on Grayson.
Oh, Grayson, why aren't you wearing full plate?
Grayson gets at.
Why isn't he wearing full plate?
Well, he's worked out how to get back
out.
He doesn't make a
lot of money.
You guys haven't
been making a lot of
money.
No, we haven't.
And we spend it on
clothes most of the
time.
Oh, dear.
16 points of
damage.
Oh, Grayson's on
one hit point.
No, no, no, no,
no, no.
No, no, no, no,
no.
Is his screen
flashing red?
Gets swallowed
maybe again.
Oh, wait for this.
That's a close one.
If Grayson dies, we're going to have to make another trip.
Grayson gets swallowed again.
Oh, my gosh.
Because Grayson's lying on the floor.
It just scoops him up.
Oh, my goodness.
Why would he do that?
But he probably grabbed him through his neck. So that's like through it. He probably grabbed him through his neck.
So that's something.
Maybe.
Or he could keep hacking his neck.
Try to, maybe.
You're halfway through.
Cassius, it's your turn.
Swing again?
Yeah, swing again.
Swing what?
I'm using a flame sword I created out of the aether.
I thought he was still inside of your mouth.
You're so useless right now.
Nothing.
Yeah, rogues aren't great
against the undead
sorry
nine points of damage
but not sorry
don't you have
oh right
all of your wizard spells
are useless
yeah
because I
crip pom pom crip
strikes from beyond
you deal nine points
of damage
yes
yep
I want this
little pocket of dice
so bad
that puts it at Leo
I'm just gonna
rape you was terrible
I might know one
better than you do
how big is a dragon
fairly big
it's
like a bus size
a bus
yeah
they're about
no
scatter spray
works with your
bloody crowbar mate
oh scatter spray
I thought you said
skyscraper
I have skyscraper
I thought you said
Skarsgården
I got all excited
I was like
Skarsgården could work because all excited. I was like, oh, Skarsgården.
Skarsgården?
Because they're coins that hurt.
Yes.
Oh, yeah, coins.
What if you accidentally get a magic sword?
You could launch item again.
There's a lot of shit littering the area.
Is there?
Yeah, there's shit all over the place.
There's coins and swords.
And I'm going to launch an item at him.
Boom.
Chink, chink.
Yep, that's, yeah.
That's coin raises, Jackson.
You, like, point at maybe a helmet that got
knocked over when the dragon got up
and you're like, you know, you flick it
in the direction of the dragon, you flick your finger
and the item launches
It bangs off its
other horn and that gets knocked off
Then we can get those
horns and attach them to the side of our car
Guys, guys
Dragon poaching is a serious problem.
Every year, a thousand dragons are killed for their horns.
Do people think it's a medicine?
Horde.
Sorry, horde.
Oh, I see.
Okay, Ainsley, it's your turn.
Keep going.
Fury.
Absolute fury.
Like, so pissed off.
It pleases me that you say that. Princess Ainsley, it's your turn. Keep going. Fury. Absolute Fury. Like, so pissed off. It pleases me that you say that even though...
Princess Ainsley Fury Road.
Like, I'm pleased to be, like, with all the Fury at them.
Don't change anything.
I know.
Well, see, sometimes I think, like, if I'm super concentrating,
maybe my stats will go up.
Oh, close.
You've nearly got its head off.
Yes!
You deal another five points of damage.
Yes!
And its head is, like! You deal another five points of damage and its head
is like wobbling. Good!
So he's like nearly headless Nick from Harry
Potter. Except more of a...
Hopefully that makes it stop.
Grayson's turn. Hey, it won't be swallowing
us anymore. That's nice. That'll be a change.
Yeah, hey. Well, he's dead though.
But I guess Grayson died.
Adam, that's a face. I don't like that face.
That's a face and a half.
Listeners will never know the terror of that face. That's a face and a half. Lesson is we'll have another terror of that face.
We'll never understand.
That was a four.
What's that mean?
Stop it.
Is old Gracie Grace unconscious?
Negative six.
Hey, good job looking at the fucking DM stuff.
Yes.
If he did four points of damage, it should be negative.
Guess who's getting another attack now?
The dragon. That's not
how the rules work. Well, you know
how else the rules work.
It's okay, though. It is the dragon's
turn.
And guess who he's attacking?
You don't know.
Wait, you do know.
Sam, he is the dragon.
Leo, I think you're
lucky. Yes.
But not lucky enough. The dragon but he is the dragon. Leo, I think you're lucky. Yes. Get a little half on that.
But not lucky enough.
Yes.
The dragon bites you.
You're so tiny.
You take, ooh, 16 points of damage.
Ouch, ouch.
That'll hurt.
You're on six hit points.
You are little.
I like to imagine a single tooth goes through your leg.
And now we make grapple checks.
I like to imagine.
Ooh, you get eight.
Okay.
The dragon, like, throws you up and swallows you.
Like, the dragon does it.
You know how you're, like, playing around with Skittles or something like that?
You throw them up, try to catch them in your mouth?
If I survive, if I launch an item in him...
You've got to try to cut your way out.
No, I want to, like...
Your feet land on someone's head.
Oh, my God.
It's Gracie Grace.
You've got to save him.
It's Cassius' turn.
Keep hacking and whacking.
It's going to be annoying if you deliver the killing blow.
It's going to be the best.
It's going to be great when I deliver the killing blow.
Yeah.
Because your fire thing has just been attacking its butt
Yeah, stabbing it in the butthole the whole time
The blind Cassius delivers the killing blow to the drivers
Fiery butt, fiery butt, fiery butt
I'm going to keep you in initiative though
Because time is of the essence
Leo, you've got to try to cut your way out.
Oh, actually, you're probably near the hole.
In the neck?
Yeah, in the neck.
So I'll give you a massive bonus to this, but you've got to try.
We'll do that, then.
Climb your way up.
I'm only little.
Yeah, you finish off what Ainsley started.
He comes out through the neck?
Yeah.
Oh, God, it's so gross.
There's a massive hole in its neck.
Can someone please grab Grayson?
Because you touched his head.
It is literally like nearly headless neck.
I like to think I'm still hacking away.
I don't know.
Mr. Fist releases a little.
Cassius.
It's dead.
Cassius?
Cassius.
Can you?
What?
Cassius.
Yes.
Cassius.
What?
Is he looking at me? Cassius. I don't know. Cassius Cassius Is he looking at me?
Cassius, I don't know Can I see Cassius?
Yeah, you can see Cassius
You're covered in that mucus shit as well
Can you
Can you cure
Pull him out
Pull him out
I'm going to pull him out
because Leo's useless.
I'm just going to let you guys know the time is of the essence.
Yeah, pull him out!
Yeah, you pull him out.
I'll help as much as I can.
He's dying.
You're not sure if he's dead.
You're not sure if he's dead.
Dude, cure light wounds now!
Cure light wounds on his face!
Now!
Please, Adam, please.
I do it with a kiss.
Aw.
I'm going to kick you in the...
Ew!
No, I'm going to smash you in the face. No, I don't kiss him back to life. Kiss him on the forehead. Give him a kiss. I'm going to kick you in the... Ew! No, I'm going to smash you in the face.
No, I don't kiss him back to life.
Kiss him on the forehead.
Give him a kiss.
My boy.
My boy.
A lot of the wounds on him seal up.
A lot of them are bite marks and they close.
Good.
Grayson does like a...
You know when you rescue someone who was drowning?
He does that.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, my God.
He coughs up blood. Good. I mean, Graham, get it out of your system. Not good yet. Cassius. Get does that. Oh, thank God. Oh, my God. He coughs up blood.
Good.
I mean, not good yet.
Cassius, can you cure my ears?
Angely, you're standing over him?
I couldn't cure my eyes.
You are?
Maybe, but this was caused by me.
Grayson grabs your hand.
In the battle.
Guys, shut the fuck up.
He reaches into the pocket.
You saw him pocket something earlier.
He pulls out a ring.
What?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
In between splutters, he says,
will you marry me?
Yes!
Yes, I will.
Yes, I will.
Yes, I will.
What just happened?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
We have to get a different ring.
Don't take that one
because it'll be cursed more than anyone.
It's so beautiful.
The ring he got you is like
oh my god, it's amazing.
It's like more diamonds than gold.
Ellie's
having a moment.
So is Ainsley. Everyone's having a moment.
I'm actually crying.
Oh my god.
Cassius! I'll stumble over to Leo
and be like... Did he just propose?
Yeah, he did.
He proposed.
Sorry, what?
Thumbs up, thumbs down.
Ainsley, you legit...
Oh, my God.
This is amazing.
I can't breathe.
Ali's hyperventilating.
I know.
My back hurts.
I'm laughing and crying.
Just one time, I'm like, what's Grayson up to?
What's he doing? He's got some plans
It was a love plan
Oh my god, I'm crying
Okay, I don't know what happened there
It's an emotional journey.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Let's everybody just take a moment.
I just had to take my glasses off so i could wipe away tears oh my god
oh my goodness oh my god okay let's keep going the the ring like i said has more diamonds than
gold in it oh and it's like it's like someone had to pack them in. They've been arranged in sort of a rough sort of zigzagging type pattern.
And in among the diamonds, you can also see like emeralds and rubies and stuff.
It's so beautiful, but we can't keep it, sweetheart.
Because, like, we'll get cursed.
He grabs your hand with his other hand and like with a very faint voice because he's badly wounded.
He says, it's okay.
We're only taking what we need.
That's what he said.
You only take what you need.
What?
I know, I know, I know.
Leo, this might be a little confusing for you.
It's extremely confusing.
I love this beautiful moment in the background.
What?
What's going on? Cassius is doing it as well. Cassius, you have no idea what's extremely confusing. I love this beautiful moment in the background. What? What's going on?
Cassius is doing it as well.
Cassius, you have no idea what's going on.
She can hear that.
I can hear.
I heard the proposal.
No, no, wait.
He didn't actually.
Yeah, he did.
He said, yeah.
Can you cure me?
Yeah, let's.
I can.
I'll see.
I'd like to grab his head and use Cure Light Wounds.
You can cast the spell.
Have you taken damage?
I have.
Well, you'll heal that.
Yes! But you're
still deaf. Damn.
We're gonna be like... You heal
eight hit points. Alright!
What I'm gonna need to do is get some kind of
spell that lets me see out of Mr. Fist's
eyes. Yes. Does such a
spell exist, Carnival? I think you just get that
power at later levels. Oh, that's great news.
I'm still deaf.
You just need an...
How do I
sign to Leo that he's
going to need an animal companion to hear from?
Grayson gets to his feet. He's like
shakily leaning against the dragon.
He points at you, Leo, and then he points at the
amulet, which you still don't have.
Ah, right. Cheers, Grayson. Thank you. I ch then he points at the amulet, which you still don't have. Ah, right.
Cheers, Grayson.
Thank you.
I chuff up and grab the amulet.
I'm still in a moment, guys.
This is the longest, most wonderful moment of my life.
Are we going to try to loot a little bit before we leave, Grayson says?
I look so bad.
I turn around. I think the dragon's dead. So that means there's no more curse.
The dragon was dead long before we fought it.
So does that mean that's the great evil?
I don't know why you stopped to listen to him, though.
But now that we killed Zombo Drago,
so does this mean that we can steal everything now?
Or at least as much as we can carry?
I just feel like a lot of the time we talk about how we do things
and that we shouldn't have.
I'm going to try and sign this
the best way that I can to Leo.
Like you do little walking fingers
and then you do another walking finger
and you're like...
And then they just fall over.
Oh, there's a dice?
What's going on?
What's going on?
Leo, you don't know what they're saying.
Everyone's moving their hands.
Okay, I'm going to go back to where I put the corner of magical goods.
What's there?
Several sets of armor.
Any ears?
Probably not several sets of armor.
It's hard for you to move armor.
Maybe several weapons or something like that.
A couple amulets, some rings.
I'm going to grab the amulets, some rings. I'm gonna grab the amulets
and the rings and the weapons.
Uh, Grayson, like, takes a
sack and just, like, scoops some
coin into it. I'd like to,
can I, like, walk, kind of
find my way over and
feel around for gauntlets? Like sight
gauntlets? Uh, you're not gonna find anything
ever. Well,
you will, but it'll take you
a long time.
Okay, I'll trust. Can I get
Mr. Fists? Find me
gauntlets.
You probably can't. You don't have that sort of
you can't like speak
to him, so it's kind of hard
to impress gauntlets. Come here. What?
Just come here. I'll walk over to the noise.
There's suits of armors here. What? Just come here. I'll walk over to the noise. There's
suits of armours here.
Do you reckon you could fit into any
of these? I think some of these are magic.
Maybe they might be cursed, but maybe some
of them aren't. I'd like to feel the armour.
It's made of metal.
You can't wear it.
No good. Alright, never mind.
Grayson? Armour? Magic, maybe.
Grayson, like, checks one that you haven't taken off the rack yet
because it's, like, full plate, and full plate is heavy.
But he checks, like, a rack with a set of full plate armor on it.
It's very fancy-looking armor.
Like, it looks like it might be dwarven craft.
Very concerned about this, Grayson.
And it's not, like, fanciful. Like, it this, Grayson. And it's not like fanciful.
It doesn't have good designs
on it, but it looks
incredibly well made.
Like sturdy, like a good
set of armor. Do you reckon you need it?
He looks down at his
scale mail,
which is
basically in tatters.
I think you need it.
I think I do.
He takes his armor off and starts donning the full plate.
I need a hand, he says.
I don't like being the only one here
who has some sort of rationality towards this.
I help him as much as my little hands can.
He needs a second person to strap parts to him.
You're such a tiny little human.
You'd be so cute little.
Hang on.
Cassius, come here.
Let me just climb you and I can...
Yeah.
I'll wander over.
Grayson chuckles.
I had a squire like you once.
Good.
I help him out.
Yeah, I help him as well.
Okay.
So you guys pocket...
Well, like I said, Grayson gets a shitload of coins into his bag.
I feel like that's a super bad idea, darling.
How do you get a start of life together
without money?
He acknowledges that you're talking,
but he's doing it.
I'm looking at the words in the conversation
as I get a sack and just start putting in
coins. Are we good?
I just feel like
there was a warning about the curse.
It won't take too much.
It's like a sack.
It's what we need.
I can't tell.
I've been assured, Ainsley, there's a lot of treasure.
Thank you, Cassius.
You're a beautiful son of a gun.
Hey, we need some money to heal Cassius and Leo.
You know?
If I want to see again, and I need to see.
Maybe we should only take one sack of gold.
Each?
Wait, no, I can't say.
No, split it between us. So we'll get Leo to carry the sack and then we'll split it up.
Yeah, that's great.
Leo can't carry that much.
Well, but then you see.
Oh, God.
Also, I don't trust him.
I wouldn't trust him either.
Hey, we could talk freely, he says.
I know.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Keep going, putting gold in that sack.
Grayson, like, kneels next to you, Leo.
He picks up your sack and starts transferring stuff.
And he, you see, he's, like, trying to give you, like, a friendly look.
Like, he puts up a hand, like, you know, I got this, don't worry.
I give the thumbs up.
How friendly is Grayson?
How cursed is this treasure?
