Sands Pants Radio, Sans Pants Plus.
It's very similar to Patreon.
In fact, you can use your Patreon login on the site if you'd like.
But to reflect the new service, we've made some changes to the reward structure.
And while the $5 tier remains mostly unchanged,
for $10 a month, you'll be getting a heap of bonus content in the future.
The first is titled The Plumbing Boys Play Slash Ruin Sunless Citadel,
as well as suggest a topic for any of the shows in the Sandspantz network.
And for $25 a month, you get to suggest an NPC for Adam to use in future campaigns
and a D&Ds for Nerds season pass,
which means as soon as we have a campaign ready,
you'll be the first ones to hear it in its entirety. Just head to sanspantsplus.com and sign up today.
Welcome to episode six of Buried Beneath, a D&D is for Nerds adventure. I'm Joel Zammett,
and I'll be playing the part of Shane Nol. I'm Michael Shanks. I'll be playing the role
of Squim Norton. And I am Jackson Bailey, and I'll be playing the part of Anton de Saussure.
I'm Adam, and I'll be your dungeon master.
Previously.
This creature is a sinister spectral figure
robed in darkness.
Bloom is struggling to get out of his sleeping bag.
You charge onto the Shadow's hand,
and as soon as you step onto it,
you realize the mistake you have made.
I forgot the saying.
No, but even if it wasn't there, why would you charge in? You realize the mistake you have made. I forgot the same mistake.
No, but even if it was a bit, why would you charge in?
Lilith looks you, Squim, in the eyes, rolls her eyes, and then charges in.
I roll back, by the way.
Are you aware of what this adventure is?
You've started yourself out as a funny, happy-go-lucky motherfucker.
Fantasy is awesome.
Fantasy is cool.
It's a blast.
Provide me with what is known as a compliment.
All right.
I mean, you could have been useful.
I could have been.
Now I will be a burden.
You pack up camp, having just dealt with the dreaded Shadow Sand,
and set off further into the desert.
The rest of the journey, it takes 11 days, not 10 days,
but it goes uneventfully.
Thank God.
What a lovely uneventful few days, guys.
A nice few days for me to just reflect,
think about the choices I've made in my life.
You've been silent for four days,
like gazing off into the night sky.
Are you okay, Antonio?
I notice you haven't touched any of your wine.
I don't feel like drinking.
Man, you get drunk so much more easily now.
I know, but then, like, it's over.
So, on the 11th day, who's leading the formation?
I will be.
I will be? No, no, I.
No, I will be.
Shane, you're the first person to see it probably then.
You see a tiny little building sticking up out of the sand. It's very noticeable because it's white marble just in the middle of this yellow sand desert.
It looks like a, what would you call it?
The Greek Parthenon, is it?
With those, you know, those Greek pillars.
Colosseum.
Yeah, a little bit like that.
It's got that sort of a style to it.
Corinthian pillars.
Yeah.
You're the first person to see it.
And you can also tell from the way the sand around it is sort of shaped.
This is obviously some giant pyramid that has just been covered by sand.
It's impossible to tell the true size of this
place but you fancy it to be big do we know what pyramids are yeah you know it's an old elven
architecture gloom looks up from his map he's changed out his wide brim hat for one of those
you know like a helmet yeah he's got like shades coming around. He's also wearing a little bit of a safari suit.
I'm not going to lie.
Good, good.
He looks up from his map and sees the jutting out little bit.
And he says, yes, yes, that's it.
That's it.
Quickly, we must make haste to get there before nightfall.
What happens at nightfall?
It gets cold.
I want to be inside.
Oh, okay.
That makes sense.
Fail.
Your surveyor, how did he arrive here
no no no the surveyor just passed through and saw it marked it on the map for me okay how far away
are we from the from the structure only an hour okay all right okay that's a bad face uh you need
to make haste to get there so you need to you know whip your um with my camel sue, Lilip and Gloom cannot get any extra speed out of their camels.
D-cards.
Shane, you are unseated
from your camel.
Your camel does not appreciate
being whipped one little bit
and so rears backwards
and you fall off the back.
You take no damage but you hit the ground
with...
No, no, no. You take no damage, but you hit the ground with... No, no, no.
You take no damage, but it's a very unceremonious and unpleasant experience.
Does this camel just keep going?
Hi, Zolo.
Fuck.
Jack.
Hi.
It might be the canary to any trap.
What did you have on the camel?
Oh no
So much
The camel runs
Is it running towards the structure?
God damn it
Heist
It runs back the way you guys
Raven Feebleman
Raven Feebleman won't slow it down
Can I quickly
try and grapple it? Oh, we know it might actually.
If it gets too heavy now.
Yeah, it'll be in the people. Before you do it,
can I chase it? You're not faster than a camel.
The other people on camels are fast.
So, you hit the camel.
Oh, got him.
Weakening it. Oh, wow. It starts to
slow down. It's still faster than
you, however. So, the two people on camels are going to need to try and catch it.
We'll catch you away with camels.
You can just say that you don't want to try, though.
Don't feel like you're obligated.
I feel like I've let the team down too many times.
Yes, use your earthen thing.
That'll murder the camel.
It deals damage to the camel just letting you down.
No, I'll chase it down.
I'm cool with a camel.
Chase it down.
Running.
Fuck.
Actually, no, I should do it like this.
Fucking camel.
Piss brown.
I mean, piss yellow.
I'll do poo brown.
Good ass.
The camel's pulling away from you guys.
Piss yellow.
Oh, yeah, just same colors?
Just same colors, yeah.
All right, okay.
Okay.
So the camel is obviously starting to feel the effects of negative six strength.
And it's starting to slow down.
And, Squim, you're able to catch it.
You grab its lead and you pull it back.
Nice.
Pull it back and be like, you probably can...
Did you lose something?
As I go off, I'll smug like.
The camel, when you bring it back, collapses. It can't carry
the weight anymore.
Alright then. I realise
my mistake.
But they have lost nothing.
That's true. I like, get my gear on it.
In six days time, the camel will be
better again. And um...
You can lay down it on the back camel
and you can ride with me. Yeah, you shift
some weight around.
Yeah. It's fine.
We do that.
I don't have that much stuff on my camel, so.
And you're a tiny boy.
Yeah, that's fine.
Nighttime happens like a long time before you get to the structure.
It was an hour away.
It took you two hours to get there.
Damn.
But you are in the structure before it gets too cold, I guess.
The sand is still warm from the previous day by the time that you're in.
This level is entirely empty.
It's just one large open area except for a single stone jutting out in the dead center.
On the stone, it's just packed tight with writing.
Absolutely tiny, but all over the stone.
Well, if only somebody could speak elven
oh shit i do do i have a look i look at the writing and see if i can distinguish what it says
speak friend and enter speak friend and enter okay you can identify one you know that there
are a lot of different languages here it's not not just Elven. One of the languages looks like an archaic and ancient form of Elven
that you cannot read.
Is there halfling, dwarven, or common on it?
I'll try and read it too.
You see archaic versions of both of those languages,
but you also cannot decipher them.
Is there common on it?
No.
Common was not a language when this stone was carved.
Is there a picture of the rapper Common on it?
Yeah
I'm like
Hey Lilip
My homegirl, you're an elf
You're full elf, you're like double the elf of me
Can you check out what this means?
She can't even tell that there's elven there
Then the archaeologist
goes over
I just assumed he's useless
He gets to do nothing
He's going to break the seal
He's going to be like I don't know
He's an actual archaeologist
The seals again
Here's a look at it
And he says
Gosh it's not just one language
it's many languages
which a couple of you are like
I already fucking knew that
I go
adoy
and roll my eyes at Lilip
and hope she does it back
hi's all those
hi's
she does not appreciate
damn it
mocking your history
and her history
yeah I'm double mocking mine
because I'm also half human
and it's common
it's not
i kick some sand and annoyance well there's a lot of sand here yeah a lot of delicious
he says it's the same message repeated over and over again in a lot of ancient dialects
yeah he reads aloud traveler you stand upon a place known as Alapomanda, secret place in my tongue.
We have taken great care and detail to inscribe this stone in every major language of our day to deliver this one message.
We have buried beneath here something we are not proud of, something evil.
We have used every power we can to ensure that this evil
does not escape, and we beg
to you, please,
do not disturb what we have buried
beneath here.
I say we break the seal tomorrow.
Uh,
uh,
let's just, uh,
let's just, uh, put a,
we'll put that on the shelf,
maybe pile, uh, maybe, like, do you reckon, We'll put that on the shelf Maybe pile
Maybe like
Do you have any idea what it could be?
Is that a deaf bird?
It's just a warning
They don't like their tombs disturbed
But trust me
This one's been fairly specific
There's a lot of languages
And a big warning
It just seems like
I know I heard what you said
But did you hear what you said?
You know when you read a book out loud
And you're like, blah blah blah
You're not paying attention, you just read it
But did you read it?
Gloom turns to you
And for the first time ever
You see something in his eyes
Determination and a steely resolve
How much money do you want?
I don't know if it's about money, mate.
One million gold.
All right.
That's a lot of gold.
Yeah, well, that's expensive needs.
Highs or lows?
Lows.
I will negotiate with the university.
A million gold may be out of the reach,
but I can promise you more gold than you have ever seen.
This finding is big. It's very important all right gloom no matter what i say you're gonna break the seal aren't you
the matter is yes yeah i figured as much look i guess you probably need some yeah i prefer to be
there to fight whatever the fuck we're gonna unleash. Look at it like this, fellas.
If we get down there and it's like,
oh, you know, this big liver that if I pull will cause
destruction, we can
in the head of him.
This big what? Liver?
Like a liver.
Not like a liver that you pull.
A liver? Like in my body?
No, no, no.
Like a A mechanism
A buton
A buton
Like a spell
That if he reads out loud
It causes destruction
For the entire realm
Oh right right right
Word down there
We can stop him reading it
Oh yeah
Oh I get you
Yes
A pool
If there was something
A pool A pool of li. A pool. If there was something. A pool.
To pool.
A pool of livers.
A pool on your shoes.
I guess that's where the seals would live.
A pool deliver.
Yeah.
To break the seal.
Are you following what they're saying?
I can't understand.
No, I'm still just like kicking sand and annoyed at Lillip for not like.
Barely paying attention.
For not being a mate.
Yeah.
All right.
Look, mate.
Actually, you know what?
You're the only one kind of paying attention to Lilith.
You can see she has a, her eyes are wide with awe.
She seems very, not happy, but very, very like pleased to be here.
Santa Harifish.
I don't trust Lilith.
I say quickly to my boys.
You flip fucking quick
that's true that's
good no I mean like
she's cute but like
I'm not yeah I mean
I'm still going for
it but give me the
thumbs up what you
mean I'm just like
it's like watch
watch your backs I
know she's healing
us for now
yeah
I mean it's all right for now. All right, look.
Yeah, okay.
I guess there's nothing.
You're going to do it anyway.
So you may as well have some.
I must.
This is the biggest find of our generation.
And I've lived for hundreds of years.
I turned to Lilith and I'm like, so you're like a legit elf.
Like, do you know anything about this place?
Do you have rumors, myths?
I know neither of us would be related to the elves that once lived here.
They were a very different strain of elves, if you will.
They lived here a long time ago for a long time, but there was a war, I think.
Something happened and they had to do a mass exodus.
Was it just elves?
Yes.
Our people used to dominate this entire continent.
But now we are relegated simply to the sidelines.
Sure, sure.
Oh, I'm getting a gross vibe from that.
I think to myself.
So that makes it super weird.
Germany will rise again.
The elves will rise.
Yeah.
So that makes it super weird
that there is like
other dialects
in the seal, right?
If it was just elves,
then why would it not be
just elven written there?
It was...
It's very unlikely
that any creature
other than an elf
made this.
This is very elven in nature or their particular brand of elven in nature.
I think maybe they just wanted to warn anyone against grave robbing or something.
Everyone.
I thought it was important enough to warn everyone.
But I'm getting a million dollars.
You were not promised a million dollars.
First off, two things.
You were not promised a million, and you were not promised dollars.
Whatever, 100,000 gold, whatever I'm getting.
All right, so you're going to open up the seal.
Tomorrow, yes.
First light.
Do we know anything of what potentially might be down there at all?
After 50,000 years?
Only skeletons?
Like a great evil maybe the dead can i detect magic without his knowledge
on gloom you can't detect magic without his knowledge okay wait till he goes to sleep
requires you to say words and do an arcane gesture and the words aren't like what's everyone doing
tonight just like sounds innocuous.
And the hand gesture is kind of like opening it up in a shrug.
No, there's a magical language that you must speak.
Yeah, just do it while he's going to sleep.
Just creep over his bed and be like,
I'm just going to cast the detect magic on the door.
Yeah.
Whilst we're here, I might just actually do that.
Like, sincerely, let's just start. I'm just going to detect magic on the surroundings,
on the door. on the door.
Do you announce to anyone that you're about to do that?
Hey, I'm detecting magic.
Look at me.
He said, picking up on Adam's cue.
So therefore they're not going to suspect it when I kind of do it under my breath later.
Gloom turns to you and says, I would advise against that, my friend.
And I say, oh, would you?
And I cross my arms.
The magic here is very powerful.
Trying to see its aura might blind you.
I do like my eyes.
Not permanently, but it'll hurt.
Oh, well, fuck it.
Let's go.
And I chant the ancient inscription of Yippee-ki-yay and go for it.
I do it.
Well, as said, you blind yourself for like a minute.
The magical orders here are powerful.
Very powerful.
Guys, did anything awesome happen in the last 60 seconds that I missed?
Not really.
We only watched you as you reeled around the crib and everyone got out their dicks and was just like, ah.
you as you're reeled around the crib and everyone got out their dicks and was just like yeah it was just uh yeah the the what are you yeah the half elf in our party got blind and then
just grabbed their eyes and yelled a bit that was the last minute or so that was very sarcastic
thing to say to someone who just got blinded it's only a minute you know i'm an elf i probably the
half elf i probably a little light a minute to a half-elf is like what? A blip
Just a blip
But also in my blindness I had like a premonition of my ancestors
Being like, don't do it
And so I'm a bit spooked
Get out of here, man
I mean, sure, I guess that happens
Ah, God
Grandpappy
Don't fuck that dame
Well, I'm here, grandpappy, no No, you're grandpappy, don't fuck that demon.
Well, I'm here.
Grandpappy, no.
No, your grandpappy.
Oh, no, you were saying to your grandpappy, don't fuck that demon.
Is that how you think warlocks happen?
Yes.
Well, no.
And half dragons and half elves.
It's all about magic boning.
Yeah.
I'm surprised there's not more classes. Same with the snake people.
I just assumed someone fucked a snake.
Yeah.
Like a wizard?
Why would you think that? There are not snake people in our world. Wiz just assume someone fucked a snake. Yeah. Like a wizard? Why would you think that?
There are not snake people in our world.
Wizards are horny and curious.
Well, a person could, but we have no evidence that someone's fucked a snake.
Yeah, but if a person fucks a snake in our world, we're not going to get snake people.
Well, yeah, but we're not wizards.
But in D&D we are.
I've seen that documentary Zoo, and I don't think centaurs are real.
I don't know that documentary.
People fucking horses?
And then one of them dies because he gets
fucked to death by a horse.
Oh, it's a rough time.
How do you get a horse that into it?
Oh, Mr. Hand.
Oh, Mr. Hand.
Yeah.
Wasn't he like an aero physicist or some shit?
Yeah, that's why he didn't go to the doctor.
By the way, after this journey I'm feeling like I'm really getting to know you guys i want to reveal a personal secret
which is that my my name squim is an acronym and each letter stands for something and the m on it
stands for mr hands i was like gotta write it down no i'd also like to say that mr hands is
also an acronym that stands for something else, because my family, we have fractal
acronymous names.
Every name tells one hell of a story.
Boston out some nice words. Fractal?
That is good.
We have a night time.
Don't pick it up.
Well, I mean,
travelling during the day has been going bad for us.
I think we're about to probably go into a dungeon.
Yeah, I feel like we can just nap around here.
Gloom? Do you have any books or something Today's been going bad for us. But then again, we're about to probably go into a dungeon. Yeah, I feel like we can just nap around here. Like it's gloom.
Mate, do you have any books or something about this area?
There are no books about this area.
That's why this writing is so important.
So we're literally going in as blind as old Squim there.
I like to imagine you're having this conversation while he's rolling on the ground
yeah
well yes of course
we're going to be documenting everything as we go
shit
alright that's great
you stay
remember stay with Anton
at all times
Anton will protect
or vice versa
who has more hit points?
let's find out
you do not
for real? he has more hit points? Let's find out. Who? You do not.
For real?
He has 14 hit points.
Yeah, so you two just stay together so we can just kind of cover that area.
I can just cast a spell of darkness everywhere we go and you can spend the whole adventure just like that. He's also like half of your level.
He's two levels.
And neither of them are combat levels.
I'm a weak lad.
Naps and then head in the next day gloom gets you all to gather sort of in a semi-circle as he puts his hands on the seal which is the big stone
thing in case that wasn't obvious he puts his hands on the seal and starts saying some ancient
archaic and powerfully magical words i'm just shaking my head. Anton, no.
Gloom, no.
Squim, no.
Sorry.
Yeah, neither of you know what these words are.
You can hear the magic in the words, but what they could mean and what they are is completely foreign to you.
After he's finished, a massive crack or rift appears in the seal,
and the seal breaks neatly in two beneath it is a hole just into
the ground denzel i've got a bad feeling about this gloom and lila break out some sets of rope
and grappling hooks um i i use my low light vision and go to the edge of the of the hole
and just see if i can make out some some anything immediately. Your low light vision allows you to see twice as far as
a regular human in conditions
of low light. I'm assuming it's lowly
lit in there. It's not like some techno
disco wonderland.
The only light down there is the light
that's coming in from the hole.
You can see it's a roughly
square room. There's sand
piled up all over the place.
It looks like sand has been slowly coming
in, or maybe, you know, coming in through
a wall or something like that. Hard to tell.
You can see three
doorways.
Let me put out the little thing for you.
It's happening! We're using the little
what do you call them?
Matts. The platforms.
So, it's a square room
with three doors. Okay. And you'd be dropping down from there. So,'s a square room with three doors.
Okay.
So like doors coming out of either side and...
Yeah.
Like the left, right and forward.
Three doors, one on each on a different wall.
All right.
So considering the warning,
I'm going to say this place probably trapped up the wazoo.
So don't take any steps.
Look at Anton.
That you don't need...
That someone else hasn't already.
Yeah?
Yes, I understand.
Adam?
So get back a rooster.
What's the go?
It takes 24 hours.
Ah, Mugus.
I was like, just keep sending him through.
Also, every time he dies, you lose experience points.
Oh, jeez.
You could die doing that. Spear through jeez. You could die.
Spear through his head. It's traumatic.
Spear through my head.
You have a mental connection.
It's very traumatic when it dies.
We should have brought just other chickens.
You should have.
Just a whole mess of chickens.
Yeah, how well.
Lower a camel down.
Who's got the cool spinning thing around their head?
This boy.
Hey, nice.
That's good.
I mean, it hasn't helped me fucking once, but still.
It's fine.
All right.
We got torches here?
Yeah.
All right.
We'll clamber down.
Yeah, I'll go first.
You should have, yeah, torches in your equipment.
So you're going to climb down?
Yep.
You slide down.
You're in the middle of the room.
Would you like to explore or wait for other people?
I will explore.
The three doors are
each made out of a thick heavy sandstone they have a like a handle or very basic looking brass
sort of latch i would say more than a handle that you could open to open and close them beyond that
the room is pretty barren except for the sand. You do, however, feel this heavy just feeling.
You feel heavier here.
Just the smell of death is in the air.
Oh, good.
That's what you want.
Smells like death, boys.
Got it.
Sand.
All good.
Good.
Sweet.
The rest of you climb down?
Yep.
Yeah, well, could I detect magic down there before I drop down?
I just love detecting magic.
You're just going to blind yourself.
Oh, shit, no, no, you're right.
I forget.
I don't detect magic.
Shut down the hole.
No, you actually probably could, because it was just the seal,
which has been broken down.
So you can try to detect magic.
Yeah, it's been kissed by a rose.
Yeah.
Been kissed by a rose.
That song makes me think about lighthouses And I don't know why
It doesn't make you think of Batman forever
Yeah same
It should
Shit we're beautiful
Yeah that's a good signal
Aren't we just fucking delight?
Guys, we should start a band.
We should.
You.
The humdingers.
You detect a faint aura of necromancy just all over the place.
There's some other types of magic that you can detect.
Conjuration, which is summoning magic.
So not just to summon a creature, but also to make water or something like that.
Okay, cool.
Who wants to climb down next?
I will.
It's a long climb down, just letting you know.
That's fine.
I see you next.
What did we say, mate?
You have already gone down.
Would it be safer because you're small to climb on my back
and I can go down the rope and we go down together?
Would it, Adam?
Who knows?
Except Adam.
I'll play it safe and I'll wait for you to go down first.
All right. You get down alright.
I'll wait for everyone to go down
and then I will go down last.
But then you're alone.
Watching as just an arrow hits me.
Lilip just
repels down like it ain't a fucking thing.
Lilip rules.
I'm back on board the Lilip train, guys.
I don't trust her. She's the the best i don't trust her at all nah great gloom nearly slips but at the last minute he's able to catch himself and he
doesn't fall i'm gonna climb down be at the base just to if need be catch a little child come on
come on how Come on Come on How?
Why?
Am I just not designed for anything?
I'm ready
So, you need to go down 60 feet of rope
About halfway, about 30 feet
You realise
Not you realise, sorry
You have no hands
Oh no
But halfway down
The rope burn that you are getting is simply
Too much
And you just
Have to let go
You fall 30 feet
I'm down there prepared
Already ready with my arms open up
because I figured this was going to happen.
How?
Okay, so good news, bad news.
Good news.
Good news is you can't critical on a fall like this.
Does him catching me help?
It spreads the damage out between the two of you.
Well, that's something.
So both of you take six points in damage.
Guess who's on half the hit points?
You.
Oh, God.
You can't do anything.
I'm useless.
I have one last potion of moderate wounds.
No, no, no.
A cure of moderate is kind of overkill.
I just wonder.
I'll give you the cure light wound potions.
You actually probably shouldn't drink any healing right now.
Why?
Because it's kind of a waste for any healing.
Yeah.
Wait till you're down like one.
Actually, you know what?
Lillip, she has some level zero spells.
It's only a hit point each, but she's not using them for anything else.
Cool.
Good.
Healed up.
You recover five hit points.
I'll take it.
Eleven's just as good.
She has one more, but she's saving that.
Just in case.
All right, Gloom.
There's three doors.
Which one?
Gloom looks at each of the doors in turn and says,
I don't know.
You lead the way.
We're exploring this entire place regardless.
All right.
Is there any markings on each one?
No, they're barren.
All right.
For what it's worth, turning to the one wall of the room that doesn't have a door, is there
anything of significance on that?
Good idea.
Like I said, like a map that says, like, all of these doors suck except this one.
You are here.
You move aside some sand and you do see a very pretty mural.
It's not of anything in particular, just a bunch of elves standing around.
It's nice worksmanship, but the years have not been kind to it.
Lilip, what do you make of this?
It's pretty, like you.
You say that?
I say that.
Highs or lows?
Highs.
Because your love has taken me higher, Lilip.
You probably evil...
You notice she doesn't say anything,
but you notice she blushes when you say that.
You're in.
I'm detecting magic in her heart.
Barely a pun.
Yeah, I would say it's not even barely a pun.
Which it straight up isn't anyway okay so wait wait
it's a it's a mural of elves standing around just yeah it's just a nice pretty picture of
presumably or possibly the um it's a self-portrait of some kind do i recognize any of the faces
50 000 years ago you would not know elves areves are long-lived, but not that long.
Cool.
Roll a d6.
And we'll do it.
One, two, green.
Five.
Go to the brown.
All right.
We'll call that the door to your left.
Yes.
Cool.
So you open that one, and that leads you into a short corridor with another door at the end.
Okay.
All right.
Everyone just wait.
I'm just going to walk down the corridor.
Take that damage.
With my shield out.
Highs or lows?
Oh, highs.
Oh, highs, whatever.
Okay, you step on a plate.
Yep.
Click.
It goes in.
You hear very quickly like a something in a wall happening.
Yep.
And then it doesn't come out.
A spear, a single spear
comes out halfway but the trap is so old that it's broken
all right just break that spear break the spiral clever do you now have a spear
you have like half a spear hey it's something break that spear like. It's more like just a long dagger that you have. Half a dagger?
Not what I said.
Half a dagger is like a shaving implement.
Yes?
I look at the floor.
Shane's already stood on a plate that was clearly a button.
Are there similar pressure pads throughout the rest of the floor?
The workmanship is very good.
Even with your keen elven eyes you would be hard
pressed to find other ones can i can i spider walk and climb across the walls to get to the door
oh clever you do that you climb along the wall you get to the door on the other end
sick you spider would you like to open it i'm gonna open the door um all right you don't want
me if i die tell my i'm just single, Lilith. It's fine.
And then I... Open the door?
Yeah, I...
There's no right decision.
I mean, actually, no, I'm not.
I'm going to wait
because you're going to have to come across anyhow eventually.
Yeah, so I just go over there and-
You and Kano know what the trap's on the way.
Oh, okay.
Have a look-see-in.
But everybody knows I can spider walk, so.
No, it's good as.
When he knows the corridor is safe, Gloom comes in as well.
He's super-
You can tell he's very fascinated by this entire place,
super curious as to what's going on.
I hand him the half dagger.
Yeah?
He takes it.
He puts it in his backpack.
Thank you, he says.
No, he says.
So this room is very similar to the last
one. It's filled with a lot of sand
all over the floor. You can tell
actually
you can tell it's perfectly safe.
You can tell it's super good.
I'm not allowed.
Black.
I'll be yellow then.
You can both. You're both able to work out this used to be some sort of set of living quarters you fancy not nice ones
though all of the beds here look very simple and barren well what's left of the beds i should say
the years have not been kind to this place and a lot of it is rotten and destroyed we have a bit
of a investigation of those beds and everything.
Is there any other doors or anything in this room?
No, this room only has the one door in and out.
As you're searching around, Gloom comes in properly as well
and he says, there must be slave quarters.
Oh, fascinating, fascinating.
Can I come in afterwards?
Yeah, everyone can move into this room.
There he goes.
Hello, I am Ursa here.
You all have a little look around.
Yeah.
You find nothing of consequence.
Gloom takes stuff from all over the fucking joint and just pockets it.
Anything he thinks is interesting.
Yeah.
But you find nothing worthwhile.
Are there doors in this room?
No, just the one that was in and out.
There's nothing in this room.
We get a bit of a good search for, like, you know, a gloom right.
Write some notes, the slave quarters.
Yeah.
He writes down furiously.
All right, sick.
Well, that's one more room down.
Only the entire rest of the dungeon to go.
And for that, you'll need to find out next time on Buried Beneath,
a D&Dist for Nerds adventure.
