Hey everyone, a few announcements to get through before we get into today's episode.

And for $25 a month you get to suggest an NPC for Adam to use in future campaigns, and a D&D is 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 eight of Buried Beneath, a D&D is for Nerds adventure. I'm Michael Shanks, and I'll be playing the part of Squim Norton. I'm Joel Zamet playing the part of Shane Knoll. I'm Jackson Bailey playing the part of Anton de Saussure. I'm Adam, your dungeon master. Thanks, Adam. Previously... It's obviously the same room for the same purpose, with one notable exception. No, close it.

Okay. Close it, shut the door, go. This large eyeless worm is as big as a horse. Fuck, what a phrase. The ash worm slams up against you. Damn. Shane? I got an idea.

A dangerous idea. I just took your whole HP as the damage. Oh, fuck. I should not get near this wolf. Lilip can't fix that. I can't. She can fix his. Not yours.

You fuck up. Oh, no. Throwing an alchemist fire. We all cook. I hope we all just end up muted by this. Shane, you lose 12 points of strength. The ashorm dies. Super good.

With Squim standing, mostly unharmed, above the rest of you, you all inspect your many terrible wounds. I drop down from the ceiling doing a sweet superhero landing, and I just look at Lilith and just go, give her a little wink. I'd like to go and check.

That's all great, mate, but can someone please staunch my blood? I just imagine you as this pile of armor. Oh, sorry, hi, Silas. Just on the ground in an uncomfortable position. I struggle with the flirting, but can you just... You do it very impressively, but while you do it, Lilip is currently making sure that your good friend Shane does not die, so she doesn't notice.

Okay, well, fine. It's die, so she doesn't notice. Okay, well, fine. It's probably better that she didn't. It's not really the moment. How's my chicken doing? I'd like to take my chicken. It's put itself out. For some reason, I just imagined it being like a chicken with no feathers.

He's being plucked. Okay, Lillip says. We have several options. We could spend the week or so it would take to fix what has happened here. You're right. Alright then. I would not... I mean, that's not going to fix me permanently. No, I cannot fix you. We could not like send

a signal out like, oh, can we get some... I'm not sure how we might come help us out what if I like attach the message to my

chicken send it off now it comes back how's it gonna eat drink attach pockets of seed

or you could attach your little stone mate attach my stone to my chicken bullshit

garbage needs to be deactivated every day the chicken The chicken can't use the stone. Then bullshit. Yeah, bitch. Needs to be deactivated every day. The chicken cannot activate or deactivate the stone. It's got a human level intelligence. No, it doesn't have hands. It doesn't have hands, yeah, true. I think I'm just still in a pile on the floor.

Maybe you want to check the room, see if there's like something to help you. I don't know. I'll check the room. What if I just get eaten by something? Just check the slave loot. You realise there's three more ash worms. In the room there are holes dotted all over the place. It looks like the ash worms kind of made this place a little bit

of a nest. Let's sleep in the other room. That means there's loot. Nest loot. Yeah, you... There was loot from the ants. Yeah, you find a little like, a little pile of treasure. Maybe there's a potion of cure constitutional. Potion of not making me not suck.

That'd be cheap. I'm sorry, but the only way to cure this is going to be a lot of bed rest. Not for me, though, right? Or for me. No, there's no way to cure what you have. Terminal idiocy. Got me good.

No gold coins? Or coins of any sort, really? We're getting a million, so... Yeah, he promised me a million gold, I think. I'm going to leave two gold here just to be like, fuck you. The next people can find our treasure. So, you know how I said there was a small little pile of things? Actually, you just find a set of armour. Okay.

That is half plate. Hey, that's pretty good. That's all right. Check it on this boy. When he's strong enough. I think his current armour might be better. Okay, never mind. Good.

I can't lift it at the moment. But can we even get you out of it? Help me. You put me to a bid. need a nap i think so i suppose we're going to take a classic dandies for nerds bought up all the doors week long nap week long nap so you can the the half plate will give you an extra one point of armor class in all situations but it'll be a lot harder for you to move around in it. You'll be slower and harder to react.

Things like climbing and swimming will be harder. That's all right. I mean, when we're climbing, I'll just take it off. Yeah. All right, cool. So we can up your AC by one then, and you can... Yeah, you're wearing half-quake. Nice.

Instead of exploring, you're going to spend the next week just... Weekish, just kicking it. All right. You've burned through a lot of supplies. Oh, yeah. Food. I guess he doesn't need to eat. Can you just pluck that and give it to everyone? No, he's got to wear it for the entire day for it to work.

But hey, that'll be fine because if we end up starving, it's just that once a day, oh, I'm eating today. You eat tomorrow, you eat tomorrow, and then I get a turn again. It's fine. So, do you know how numbers work, Jackson? You know, it doesn't matter who's wearing it. Yeah. It always saves you the same amount of supplies no matter what.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Jackson, okay, so my understanding of what you just said was. Sure. You were like, I'll have it today, you have it tomorrow, she has it the next day. Yeah. Is that what you were said was sure you were like i'll i'll have it today you have it tomorrow she has it the next day is that what you were saying yeah what purpose does that serve well then i eat one day no no when we're starving when we have literally oh yeah okay i'm i'm we have at least

okay the this next bus pull off a lot i got onto that one and now we're at the supermarket together, I get you over the course of the week it just gets done you guys are fixed up not me, I'm still at 12 but everyone else I'm still eating shit but that's fine that's just unrelated

would it just be easier to kill me? go back up, go back to town, get fixed, come back is this going to heal up like your constitution? mine yes, not his That's just unrelated to the viewpoint. Would it just be easier to kill me? Go back up. Go back to town. Get fixed. Come back. Is this going to heal up like your constitution? Mine, yes. Not his. He is fine. He is fucked.

If we went back. Yeah, no, you're fine. What? Something. Something's happened. Lilip would have fixed it. It's fine. The bleeding?

You could have died. From what? So you know how it was like, and then in a minute you take the roll again? Yeah, yeah. So if you did poorly enough on that roll, you could have gone to zero constitution, which is death. But Lilip... On you, Lilip. Fixed it.

Lilip made it come good. Okay. Otherwise, you would have died. Lilip saved your life. She's a dream girl. We all owe our lives to Lilip, I think,

in many ways. The stakes are so real. This is great. It was a little bit of sarcasm. I feel like I'm being attacked right now. More so than fighting an ash worm, I feel like I'm being attacked. Bless you.

Thank you. Right. Now, fully fucking wazzled, we'll... All right. Drop back down. I'm assuming that the ashs weren't the great evil. So let's go down that corridor. You've done two rooms so far.

Probably not. I will wait up the back. Marching Order is the same as before. Alright. So I think we can take from the last fight, maybe not use Alchemist Fire in such a small environment. It would have been fine if you'd thrown it. Like, it is on me.

Like, if you had... Was it a critical fail? Yeah. If you had thrown it, it might have hit it and you could have shut the door. Yeah, I know.

I got it. Hey, you know. We all make mistakes. We live and we learn. We live and we learn. So, are you going to go down the long car? I'll go down the long...

Give me, like, 20 feet gap or something. 20 feet difference between us. And we've got torches, because by now our bolt would have gone out. Yeah, true. But I still have that, if need be. Blue door. Do we not encounter traps?

No. Down the entire corridor, you're fine. Eventually you get to another stone door. It's a very majestic corridor to just have kind of nothing in it. Yeah. Have we examined the corridor? Have we missed anything? like any beautiful statues you discover nothing particularly special about any of the stone work or anything like that but as you're moving along you do notice that you are

going down it's this because there's no outside reference it's hard to tell but you can on a closer inspection tell that you are subtly moving down. Other than that, though, the corridor is uninteresting. I'll open the door. Everyone just back up a little bit. 20 feet away. Yeah. Everyone?

Yeah, except for him. Well, he has to open the door. Okay. We're playing it ultra safe. Oh, we are playing safe. After that schmuzzle, fuck. Safe as hell. That was a mess. Fellas? Yeah. We're better it ultra safe. Oh, we are playing safe. After that schmuzzle, fuck. Safe as hell. That was a mess.

Fellas? Yeah. We're better than that. Well, I mean. I said yeah as though I was accepting responsibility for that. You did. You're not. I was sick.

I've killed the last two things. You're a champ. You're doing great. Okay, me and Zammett are fucking up. Zammett, okay, in terms of quality, you, Zammett, me. Yeah. I'll accept that. I feel it's more Squim, Shane, Lillip, Gloom.

Because he cracked open the thing. Yeah. Then maybe you're Rooster. Then you. Yeah, Romeo's doing all right. I guess that's fair. Romeo did a strength damage to the actual one. He was the only person who dealt

attribute damage not to a party member. Like, over the entire game, he has been the entire creature to do that. That's Romeo. You come into a very beautiful room, like the mural that you encountered

before. This one is somewhat diminished with age, but not nearly as much. This room is a lot more pristine. The mural here doesn't just depict a couple elves or anything like that. It looks like it's telling a story. Okay. From what you can see, it looks like a battle of some sort, but you need to get a closer look. Well, all right.

And there's a door to your left and right. I'm just going to quickly just check this room for traps. You move in. Yeah. As not a rogue, you do not have the trap-finding ability. And by trap-finding- By trap-finding, I mean slamming into things with my body. Trap-finding or more just trap-tripping.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo. The room seems empty and untrapped. Do you give us the wrong thumbs up? All right. Should I therefore detect magic as well? You can if you want. Yeah, let's do it. Cover your bases. Empty and untrapped. Give us the thumbs up. Should I therefore detect magic as well? You can if you want. Yeah, let's do it.

Cover your bases. Cover your bases. You can cast that. Just keep detecting magic. It's fine. You detect a faint protective aura in this room. You think there's some sort of very weak now because it's just aged so much. There's some sort of magical aura protecting the mural here can we once we get a closer look at the mural try and decipher yep uh gloom does that if no one else

have a looky-poo about like oh this is tell me this theory of this mural that'll a recipe for elves. I want to try an extinct animal. As Gloom goes across it, he reads tiny little bits of writing here and there. And he says, not a battle. It was a war. A war between the elves and the dwarves. You won. Oh, the dwarves.

No, I think it says... I don't know. It's hard to interpret, but I think this mural is part of a set. Oh, okay. So, Zara, what's their war? Yes. Got to collect them all, I guess. Radio, quest began.

Find the eight murals, one of eight. See little markers around the map? We got to go to them. Nothing else in this room? No, just the two doors, one going to the left, one going to the right. I should start using cardinal directions. No, no, that's fine. Jack, roll a green die.

Six. Evens. Go to blue. That one? Is that the left? Yep. That's my right. Yeah, your right.

Everyone else's left. Super good. Once again, I feel the cardinal directions. No, no, it's fine. Which way is north? North is that-a-way. That's north. Towards shanks.

Gotcha. North boy. North boy. North would be on. Then we'll go on east. Why not just do it in terms of people? Oh, yeah. What?

That's Adam Wood. That's Adam Wood. Jackson Wise. Because no one knows where we are sitting in relation to each other. Well, now we'll inform them If you look at like hands on a clock At midnight you've got Shanks over here Then at 3 o'clock we've got Adam

Then at 6 you've got this boy Carry on Carry on Slide on past it Slide on past it Carry on And then at 9 o'clock we have James There it is Slide on past You Carry on. And then at nine o'clock, we have to... There it is.

Slide on, Pye. You don't. Move on. For only a dollar a day. All right. Okay, here we go. So we're going Atomwood. There's a short corridor and another door.

All right. This corridor... Shield up. This corridor is piled heavy with sand. You might need to shift some of it just to get the door. This corridor Shield up. This corridor is piled heavy with sand. You might need to shift some of it just to get the door open. The sand could be concealing something. Concealing ghouls. So head, shield,

any traps? You move forward. Wow. You just might not trigger traps because the sand on the floor is so thick. I'm going to use my shield as a shovel and get some of that delicious sand out of the way. Have a bit. I have a little snack, but not too much. I don't want to come off as an over-eater. You don't want to be greedy.

Fair enough. As you shift the sand... I want to do it like... I know there's a trap coming. I want that to be like... Gently. Reflexes. Seam and white.

Tease. As you shift the sand... You uncover the door. Oh. No traps? No traps. Teeth. As you shift the sand, you uncover the door. Oh. No traps? No traps. All right. Okay.

Nice. Give everyone a thumbs up. All right. We wait at the entrance of the other door. We wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The door appears to be barred from the other side. Can't get in.

Never mind. We could use an alchemy. It's not exclusive. Could I... What's the door made of? Stone. Stone. It's not exclusive. Could I... What's the door made of? Stone. Stone. Sandstone, specifically.

Would Eldritch Blast possibly clear through a sandstone? You could slowly do it. Yeah, you'd make a hole eventually. Do you have infinite of it? Do we want to do that? Well, you want to keep blasting that, and I'll go to the other door. Yeah, all right, cool.

I'll stay behind and have a blaster. Okay. While you're doing that. That's my sound effect. I don't know why. That's good as. What do you imagine Eldritch Blast does? Because I had it before and I imagine it one way.

What is it in your head? I'm imagining like a blue bolt of plasma. Really? I was imagining it as like this kind of crimson purple like... I imagine like a purpley green kind of thing. Really? Like demonic kind of thing. I'm now picturing the special beam cannon that Piccolo uses in Dragon Ball Z,

where it's kind of like a beam that's special, kind of like a cannon. Ah, yeah. I see him as not a beam, as solid coronas of energy. Yeah, like little spheres. I've basically been thinking of projectile Hadoukens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Adam is the authority on this. What does it actually look like?

It looks like that if you want it to. That's fine. Is there like a canon version? What do you mean? They're like, this is what it looks like. No, they never describe what the spell looks like. So I'm happy to leave it up to the individual. That's cool.

Is each warlock slash wizard, it's different? Yeah, sure. That's fine. Yeah, cool. Sure, that, that's fine Everyone's right Why not? Everybody wins I've never had him disagree with things before Maybe he's in a weird mood

Adam, Wizwater? No Damn There's a difference between There was a window and I missed it I thought we had it There's a difference between Oh, my magic is blue

My magic is green And a wizard gave me magic powers. By drowning in a well. Do you understand what the difference is? No. Jackson, look me in the eyes. Not. Jackson, look me in the eyes.

Say these words. I deserve what's about to happen. Don't really feel like I got many outs. Say the words. I deserve what's going to happen. All right. So, at about the same time, you blast through the doorway. Oh, so I've opened it up.

Oh, I see what's going to happen. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, I see. Okay. Well. You have opened the door on the other side, which leads to a short corridor leading to a T-intersection going left and right. You can't see, obviously, around corners, so you don't know what's happening.

Okay. a room beyond, before, like out of a gun, pieces of armor, swords, miscellaneous equipment that you might find in an armory, shoots at high velocity towards you. Do we hear this? You actually probably are going to get caught up in this. Who would be in the line formed by the two doorways? There'd better be nobody. I'd be in the line. by the two doorways? There'd better be nobody. Everyone was there. I'd be in the line.

I reckon these bugalugs would be up to the side. Nah, because Squim was firing bolts at the doorway, so he's definitely in the line. You are also definitely in the line. Me, Gloom, and Piplup or whatever, we're probably off to the side. Highs or lows? Lows. So, Anton,

as you curiously gaze towards the tea corridor what is did Shane find anything of interest highs or lows

lows Lilip is getting caught in this and highs or lows highs well it appears we have what I like to refer to

as your ducks in a row man be very hopeful that gloom is not killed outright in this attack oh boy i guess we just go home i guess we just go well that was a fucked mission glad we fucking sat on our asses for a week jeez louise gloom's a little boy never been a more appropriate time for jeez on our asses for a week. I know. Jeez Louise. Gloom's a little boy. There's never been a more appropriate time for Jeez Louise.

I'll take semen white. Semen green. I'm going to go semen blue. That's what a smurf or a member of the Blue Man Group ejaculates. They drink a special dye. They use paint, so they have to come quickly,

and then as it's leaving, quickly paint. Food colouring. Ah, just drink that. Down the urethra. Oh. This is probably easier and better. Inject it straight into the sack. It's like when you make a rose grow in blue water,

and a rose becomes blue. You dunk your balls in blue water, hope that it absorbs the blue dye. Yeah, fill it up. I saw it on an episode of Mythbusters. I saw the same thing on an episode of Home and Gardens. It's a classic one.

I was going to say Art Attack originally. What I was trying to remember was that show that was like Mythbusters but had, I think, one of the fellas from Top Gear in it. Oh, yeah. Oh, it was called Brainiac. Brainiac. That's what I was going to use. That's the one. That would have beenusters but had, I think, one of the fellas from Top Gear in it. Oh, yeah. Oh, it was called Brainiac. Brainiac.

That's what I was going to use. That's the one. That would have been a better gag, I feel. That was a dumb show. It was terrible. We're doing science, but we're lads. It was like real silly Brit. And it wasn't like,

often they would just lie about the outcome for comedy. Yeah. It was bad. We are postponing What is The pain That has befallen us The pain locomotive Shane You take 11 points of damage

That's not too bad You're fine Anton Uh huh You take 11 points of damage Guess who's on Guess who's on Squim

Five points of damage Hey That's ridiculous I guess you're up the very other end Yeah Lilip 11 points of damage Gloom 11 points of damage. Gloom, 11

points of damage. What does that put him on? It puts him on higher than you. Negative 5. Oh, really? Oh, shit. He's on 8, isn't he? He has 6 hit points. I thought he had 13. He had more than you. He said he had more than me before. You misspoke. Oh, so this, sorry.

I must be wrong. So this came out of your end of the... Yes. No, no, it came out of your end. Okay, okay. You just dodged it. I dodged it. No, wait, you are right.

He does have... I forgot. No, wait, he's level two. Yeah. You said he had 14 before. Yeah, no, he has 14. Ah, damn it. Gosh, you're good, Adam.

He takes an extra. Kidding. Relax. He's standing. Everyone is still standing. But I am i am for anton who i will target now why everyone hit point because you're in the middle of the room so the bits of metal and sword and armor begin to coalesce in the middle of the main room forming a vague humanoid shape made out of weapons and armor i'm so furious that i am a

squishy wizard and not a tough fighter because i would do everything within my power to get into that armor i would chuck on that that plate i would wield that sword, and I would be going crazy. I know you would. So sad. Just run away. Duplicate yourself and then run away. It'll come in handy, maybe. This is now just about protecting you.

I don't know why we need to. Let's see. I guess semen white. It doesn't go semen yellow yellow I'll go semen brown Semen brown That's a worry I once came brown If you don't do it for long enough

It goes brown in there It's what happens when you've only got 10 left Like a pack of filters I feel like I might die in this fight Like a pack of filters. I feel like I might die in this fight. Okay, what's our plan to protect him at the moment? I'm hoping he's going to do like major... No, not major. I'll duplicate myself.

He's got eight chances to miss me. Shane? I wonder if I can carry on to the roof. So I can't get to him in time. You're standing at the other doorway. Like you're not far. You can take a couple steps and fight the c. So I can't get to him in time. You're standing at the other doorway. Like, you're not far. You could take a couple steps and fight the cunt. I will.

Can I challenge him? Oh, no. No, you can't. Yes. Oi, mate. Oi. You want to fucking go? It's vaguely head-like structure turns to face you.

He's on, mate. I want to, like, just, yeah, smack my sword. Sack the shield with my sword and be like, me and you, mate. And then just stab him. All right. You charge attack. Yeah. Yar.

Nope, that's a pirate noise. I'm sorry, everyone. Yar. Got my noises confused. Meant to do a knight noise. Yar. Knight noise. Yar. Oh, to do a knight noise. Yeah. Knight noise. Yeah.

Oh, yes. En garde. En garde. En garde, mate. En garde. En garde. En garde. You slam into it with your shield and then drive your bastard sword as deep as possible.

Right into the bastard. Dealing 12 damage. Nice. You're done. Killing the beast in one foul swift move. One foul swoop. Fucking got him. Nice. Well done. Killing the beast in one fell swoop. One fell swoop. Fucking got him. Great.

Then is... Scrimstone. And so this villain, is he kind of a whirlwind of armor and bits and bobs? No. Or is he now kind of a solid? Yeah, it's like solid now. And as such, I sort of want to do something defensive to help out my buds. Cheers, man.

It's a classic move at this point, but I suppose I could possibly try an earthen grass. Yeah. It's nice you get favorites in the end. I like hands. You've got a hand focus. I'll go piss. Come on, always been on piss.

Never gets you down. An arm bursts out of the floor, grabs the creature around its waist and begins to squeeze. Sick! Good. And I yell, I encourage you all to run! You can move if you want.

Can I move? I spin around date times. Just in case it sees me and it's like, fuck. I mean, I guess. One, two, three. It's its turn. All right.

Pick again. Piss Gallant. Bet on piss the wrong time. It breaks free of your earthen hand. And then it can only... Oh, well, no, it's actually standing next to a lot of people. No, no, it's done, Adam, I believe. Okay, so we know that this is fair. How many people are standing next to it?

Gloom, Lillip, Anton, and Shane. So that's four people. Everyone. I challenged it, though. I was like, mate. Yeah, but it doesn't have any... You can fight anyone. No, no, no. You're thinking of test the metal. I know I am. Okay. I was like, mate. Yeah, but it doesn't have any impunct... You can fight anyone. No, no, no.

You're thinking of test the metal. I know I am. Okay. I know I am. I know I am. I'm hoping he's got a sense of honor. So, one is Lillip. Yep.

Two is Anton. Better not be Gloom. Three is Gloom. If it's Gloom, we're fucking done. Four is... Who have I forgotten? Shane. Come on.

Okay, not... Can we have those numbers again? Four is Shane. Thank God. Oh, not. Can we have those numbers again? Four. Shane. Thank God. Oh, good. Oh, good. There you go.

See, it was nice and fair. It swings around and attacks Anton. I'm not kidding. Really? Adam, why? What did I do to you? Wait, what? I was.

It attacks Shane. Shane, it all. Okay. It slams into you with one of its mighty sword fists. And you realize that fighting with a creature made of weapons, not your smartest idea ever. Oh, coming down here is not... You take 12 points of damage. For I've gotten this whole operation. Why did we do any of this?

Million gold. Million gold. Million gold. We never promised. Million gold. We were promised each. We'll torture it out of him if he doesn't. Exactly.

He's got a million gold. Anton? Days. Run. Oh. Huh. All right. Yeah.

It loses its next turn. Ha. Sick. Gotcha good. Sick. Run. Lilip's turn. right. Yeah. It loses its next turn. Ha! Sick. Gotcha. Good. Sick. Run. Lilip's turn. She.

Run. Can he run? She should heal Bloom. Oh, yeah. I'd like to get away. Bloom hasn't been. Oh, wait. Bloom has been here.

Can I get into the. She heals Bloom. She heals Bloom. And then she and Bloom move away from the creature. Can I get like down to like within the corridor so that it's like a. The previous corridor that you were coming. Yeah. The long one.

Yeah. So I can still see it in attack, but just so it can't get me. Yeah, nice. What did you do on your turn? I dazed it. Oh, well, yeah, you can still move. So you move down the corridor. Back to the top.

Shane. Right. Then I'm going to full on just, I don't know, power attack, but power attack, I guess. You swing as hard and as fast as you can. Precision. And you hit it. Good job.

Nice. Dealing a further nine points of damage. You're doing all the damage, plus I fucked up its turn, so you're welcome. So we got two rounds at this thing before I can get a six. We're in the money. I can probably keep dazing it. It's a canter. Squim, your arm attempts to grapple it again.

Oh, nice. I'll go cum white. Cum white. Good on you. Your arm grapples it again. Oh, nice. I'll go come white. Come white. Good on you. Your arm grapples it again. This thing has no chance. Are we doing this fight like how you're actually meant to do a fight in D&D? Like wizards providing support whilst the fighter tanks the damage?

Well, this is the first time for everything. It's turn. It doesn't do anything because it's dazed. Anton? Four. Fuck. It's turn. It doesn't do anything because it's dazed. Anton? Four. Fuck. Chill touch it. Oh, wait.

Put it in your rooster. Put it in your rooster. Go get it. Okay. You charge your rooster with magical energy. What a line. And you send your rooster on its way. Go get them, Anton.

Romeo, you have this in the bag. Highs or lows? Highs, I guess. Highs? Okay. Your rooster launches itself at the creature, slamming into it, dealing six points of damage. I love that it slams it.

It's not like it's going up and giving it a little peck. It's just like fucking gun for it. That's how I assume it's been doing this the entire time. No, I mean fair. That's how roosters fight. That is true. That's how ro assume it's been doing this the entire time. No, I mean fair. That's how roosters fight. That is true. That's how roosters fight. In an old country. I guess it jumps

up and tries to get it with its talons. That makes sense. Dealing six points of cold damage and subtracting one point from its strength. Hey. She was kind of messed it up a bit. You can see it visibly deflate almost as if it were filled with air. And Lilip's turn.

Lilip. She fires her. She has a... No. Oh, yeah, she does. She has a longbow. She takes out a longbow and fires at the creature. Misses.

Oh, Lilip. Dink. Well, Lilip. Thanks for trying. Shane? I can't disarm it, can I? Or is that... It is an arm.

It's a sword. I mean, like... disarm should kill it. Yeah. If you want to disarm it, you're just trying to kill it, I guess. I guess, yeah. Go full on attack him again. Just keep at him. Try and do that.

This time when you swing, that big earthen fist gets in the way, and your bastard sword slams into that and just skips off it instead. Dink. Sorry! It's alright, mate. The creature and the earthen fist are kind of, not rolling around with each other, but they are struggling against each other. It's a massive contest of strength

between them right now. Squim? I'm gonna cast Wand of Burning Hands! That's the thing. You don't actually need to say anything when you use the... No, it's good. I like to announce it so it has a moment to prepare. Every time you cast a spell, it's like a kid

in an anime, like Pokemon, being like, Use Water Blast! It's like, I'm going to use Wand of Burning Fist. Oh, yes, good. Or like... Here, flying back... Take you back to the smelt! What else do I have?

I have message. Why am I not using that all the time? What's message? It just means I can say a sentence to you in your head. Oh, that's cool. And you can say a sentence back. Good job, guys. You are my friends.

Love our team. Good team. You're rare for us. Doing so well. We are truly spectacular what i like about messages that i can use it whenever so that means just whilst traveling i can just bug you like how annoying you can't stop it can you choose to whom that it goes i think i can do it to everyone somebody made a bad joke you could just communicate like zing sarcastically to everyone else yeah people didn't know i had it I could drive them crazy with it.

That's all right. It's me. My grandfather. You Satan in your brain. Because if you were like a neighbor with someone, you hate them. Yeah. Just message constantly.

That's Gollum's. That's fine. What? Nothing. I think it's fine. I just imagine Adam homeless on the street. That's Gollum's. That's how Gollum's.

Never mind. That's Gollum's. Gollum's. It's Gollum's. It's a sunny gem. You deal 10 points of damage to the... Oh, sorry. I'm homeless on the stress. It's golems. It's golems. Never mind. It's golems. It's golems. It's a sunny gem. You deal 10 points of damage to the... Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. Squib, you deal 10 points of damage to the creature,

bathing it in fire, but you can also see that your earthen fist took damage from that attack and cracks are beginning to fall in it. It cries and wonders why its master betrayed it. Papa, why? He makes a little thumbs down, yeah? And then lets go of the creature so it can attack you.
