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 Sans Pants 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.

Hello and welcome to episode 9 of Buried Beneath,
a D&D is for Nerds adventure.
I'm your Dungeon Master, Adam.
I'm Jackson Bailey and I'll be playing the part of Anton DeSorcia.
I'm Michael Shanks, I'll be playing the part of Squim Norton.
And I'm Joel Zammett and I'll be playing the part of Anton DeSorcia. I'm Michael Shanks. I'll be playing the part of Squim Norton. And I'm Joel Zammett, and I'll be playing the part of Shane Knoll.
Previously.
In the room, there are holes dotted all over the place.
It looks like the Ashworms kind of made this place a little bit of a mess.
Let's sleep in the other room.
We all owe our lives to a little bit of a mess, I think, in many ways.
Oh, we are playing safe after that schmuzzle.
Fuck.
Safe as hell.
That was a mess.
This one is somewhat diminished with age, but not nearly as much.
This room is a lot more pristine.
From what you can see, it looks like a battle of some sort,
but you need to get a closer look.
Not a battle.
It was a war, a war between the elves and the dwarves.
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.
Well, it appears we have what I like to refer to as
your ducks in a row.
Can I get, like, down to, like, within the corridor
so that it's, like, a house?
The previous corridor that you were coming from?
Yeah, yeah.
The long one.
Yeah.
But so I can still see it in attack,
but just so it can't get me.
We're 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.
We return to our heroes locked in mortal combat
with an animated pile of armor
currently being grappled by Squim's earthen fist.
It's time.
Sue, this time, it does try to get out
because it's not being... I'm going to go... Oh, piss yellow poo brown. It's a big choice. It's a tough one. time It does try to get out Because it's not being
I'm gonna go
Oh, piss yellow, poo brown
It's a big choice
It's a tough one
I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go poo brown
Poo brown
Piss yellow, fuck you lost
That's true
Should have been on piss
Always been on piss
I don't know
Sometimes Adam has this look on his face
That I'm like
What could be confusing about the two of them?
But then, you know, I'm not
I guess because he's strength or something.
Next level genius.
I think it might have been some degree of critical.
No.
No.
Usually that face means, oh, I've got to do math.
All right.
Fair.
Not always, but often.
It would...
Paper, scissors, rock me.
Okay.
Sure.
Paper, scissors, rock.
Paper, scissors, rock.
Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. I just spoke going rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock. Paper, scissors, rock.
Paper, scissors, rock.
Paper, scissors, rock.
That was great.
That was like six rocks and one paper.
Paper, scissors, rock.
Paper, scissors, rock.
Yeah!
It breaks out.
That was the greatest moment of my life
Oh my god
That was insane
Oh wow
Okay
Who knew paper scissors rock could be that heart bound
I need a
I need a moment
I need a cigarette
The creature bursts out
Who's standing next to it?
Oh this bugger lug
Just you?
Yeah it's just you now
It swings at you.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh Danny boy, the pipes
are calling.
Oh Danny boy.
It's a crit hat.
Crit hat on our boy.
Broken nose.
Normal damage
And one charisma damage
And one bleed
Beautiful good looks
This would make me more handsome
I'm rugged
I'm into it
One less charisma
Sometimes one less charisma is one more charisma
You get punched in the face
And you get that kind of sexy
Bad boy Five points of damage Sometimes one less charisma is one more charisma. Yeah, like you get punched in the face and you get that kind of sexy...
Yeah, bad boy.
Bad boy.
I think you're a bad boy now.
Five points of damage.
Negative one charisma.
And, oh, sorry, six points of damage.
Every round you will take a hit point damage.
Super good.
Until a heal check or you are magically healed.
Yep.
Then it is...
Oh, wait, why am I looking at that?
That didn't tell me anything.
Anton.
Sorry. I really want to use Raven Feebleman,
but it fucked me last time.
Surely, statistically, I'm good.
He's not going to fuck me again.
Raven Feebleman on the giant armor man.
Can he aim it so it doesn't hit me?
I'm doing my best to aim properly.
Do I just have bad eyes?
Some new dice.
Okay.
So pick a die. Just remember last time? Some new dice Just remember last time Halloween orange
Just remember last time this happened
We had to wait a week for me to be healed again
Hey!
Bambino!
Lows
No, come on
Adam fucking
Lord almighty Please don't shane
how am i bad at firing spells as you lift your bastard sword you were doing so well
no a beam of pure magical vampiric energy soars perilously close to your head.
Oh, thank God.
Strikes the creature dead center in its chest.
And you look behind you to see Anton slowly draining the creature of energy.
Look like, oh, my goodness.
Oh, sacrible.
The creature loses another five points of strength.
Oh, shit. Nice. Negative six now. Fuckin' hell. Shit. It creature loses another five points of strength. Oh, shit.
Nice.
Negative six now.
Fuckin' it.
Shit.
It's gotta be running out of health.
Fuck.
You're stronger than it right now, Anton.
No, wait, no, it's still stronger than you.
Goodness.
Then it is Lillip's turn.
Lillip fires her bow again.
Good one, Lillip.
Certainly gonna help.
Hits this time, dealing three points of damage.
Oh, okay.
That's decent.
Then back to the top.
Shane.
All right.
I will attack him again.
Can't really do much else.
I'll attack him.
That's the struggle of a fighter.
Yeah.
You're like, I got real good, like, actions and stuff for specific circumstances,
but often I just end up hitting it with my sword.
You deal nine points of damage in total.
Your sword cuts through a swathe of it, tearing out bits of armor and sword.
We can loot its body.
That'll be fun.
That will be funny.
Because it's like-
Its body is the loot.
Its body's the loot.
We're fighting animated loot right now.
Squim.
How tall are the roofs in this place?
The ceiling?
Another 15 feet.
So if I jumped off the roof into an elbow
drop onto it, hypothetically, that could
be bad. You would
probably do yourself more harm.
Skewer. Straight through the cheek.
My dream for this quest is to get
above someone,
Eldritch blast them, and then as they're
shattering into blast bits,
I elbow drop.
Macho man style but but maybe next time
um you can just blast him and then like yeah what you want to do is work towards a special
an invocation a spell that you can get where you can do your attack as part of a melee attack so
you hit someone you hit them with the regular damage then your spell goes off and you do that
damage as well so it's so it's like cutting somebody with a sword that then becomes a shotgun and you shoot that sword into them.
Pretty much, yeah.
Gunblade it.
Yeah, you gunblade that shit.
It's a later level thing, but that's what you want to aim towards.
Yeah, cool.
How later level?
So in the meantime, I'll just...
I'm not sure.
I'd have to look it up.
I'll just give it the old...
So it's Eldrick.
That's the pronunciation.
Eldrick, yeah.
My mistake.
Eldrick Blast.
I don't mind.
It's fine.
Eldrick Blast.
I'm going to Eldrick Blast it.
Because I've got a good aim so far.
You still on the roof?
No, no.
I haven't been on the roof in this room.
I don't think you've cast Spider Legs today.
No.
What a scoff.
Spider Climber.
For him, it's called Spider Legs.
Really?
Because it's slightly different.
No, I've got a Spider Walk on my sheet.
Oh, Spider Walk.
Sorry.
Spider Legs sounds amazing.
Sounds like you get the legs of a spider.
You don't get the ability.
You just get the aesthetic. Maybe like four get the legs of a spider. You don't get the ability, you just get the aesthetic.
Maybe like four arms just pop out of you.
Gross.
You blast it, dealing a combined 10 damage.
Nice.
You notice as well, everyone notices,
that when Squim fires his attack at the creature,
he blows a small hole in it. It looks like his attack is doing far more
than any of you guys,
but not proper comparatively.
So it looks like you guys have been doing
less damage to it.
It looks like magic either does extra damage
or somehow is just affecting it more, maybe.
Oh, and your fist tries to...
Oh, yeah, fist.
Oh, fisty boy's story.
Hey, I'll go Pooey Brown.
Yep, your fist regrosses.
It tries to break out again immediately on its turn.
Poo brown again.
It does not.
It stays grappled.
I think for the first time.
It's happened before.
Anton?
Days, why not?
Cast it again.
It loses its nice action.
Hey, wizarding properly. We've done this. Lilip fires. Cast it again. It loses its nice action. Hey!
Wizarding properly.
We've done this.
Lilip fires.
She misses.
Shane?
Yeah, smack him in his face.
You hit.
Oh, wait.
Hey!
Is this like the first good critical for us? I think it's the first good critical for the whole gang, yeah.
I got a critical before, but that was...
Double damage and target is knocked prone.
Oh, boss ass.
She'd get on the roof now.
Oh, shit.
Oh, wow.
Max damage.
28 damage.
Woo.
Shit.
If it's knocked prone,
do I have to stop attacking it?
You kill it.
Oh, good.
It doesn't matter.
You hit it so hard and so fast
That it's almost a shrapnel blast in all directions
No one gets hurt
I'd like to limp out
We'll do never one
For once we worked as a team
Good job, mate
Alright
Can I be at the front of the party?
No, no, no, no.
I run up to the biggest pile of stuff and elbow drop it.
All right.
Got him good, mate. Yeah, you do that.
Yeah, fair.
I look at Lilith expectantly.
Hi, Lilith.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, Solos.
Hi.
I'm super sorry.
She looks up at you and she says,
that's our ancestry.
And I say,
it's only half mine,
which isn't really a comeback.
She just doesn't seem impressed with you.
So there.
I cast darkness around myself.
Don't we all wish we could have done that at some point in our lives?
Can we loot?
Hello, darkness, my old friend.
I'll also drink my potion.
Oh, yeah.
You're on one hit point.
Also, I call off earth and grass if it's still around.
Oh, yeah.
I assume you do.
Lilip, I'm bleeding out.
So can you just give me a bit of a...
All right.
You should have taken some extra damage. Oh, look. If we're going to take a break, I'll get Lilip, I'm bleeding out, so can you just give me a bit of a... All right, you should have taken some extra time.
Oh, look, if we're going to take a break,
I'll get Lilip to heal me instead of taking my potion.
Lilip goes around healing people.
Cheers, Lil.
Why are we calling her Lil?
That's a good name.
Lilo.
Lilo?
Lilo and Stitch, coming to new to DVD.
Shane, you recover 16 hit points.
What about your boy, Anton?
Just have a sip of like the cure light.
Anton, you recover your full health.
Woo!
I forgot how little hit points you have.
She's going to look at you.
And Scrim, you recover a hot 11 hit points.
Cool.
It's back to full.
Nice.
You are also on full.
What am I on?
You are on 43 by my count
Oh, I see
Although you should be a little less
Because I forgot you had bleed
No, no, no
No, no, no, hush
You know what, nah, I'll make it 42
Nah, but fair
Nah, but you will cop it
Right, what was in this big pile of
The room where the thing came out of
You guys can loot the corpse
And I'll have a quick squiz in the room.
Sounds good.
It looks like the room was once an armory.
And the armory became possessed.
The armory, there's nothing really.
All you can see in there is what these bits and pieces
that attacked you were sitting on.
So there's nothing actually left in the armory.
You can just see weapon racks and such.
Yeah, all right.
Gloom, there's nothing in there.
But, like, everything that was in there is out here.
It's kind of useful.
What an interesting line.
What have we got?
Where's my party shit of party fins?
Hopefully, like, a good weapon.
That'd be nice.
Hopefully, we get, like,
if I could just have something to make me useful.
Yeah.
That'd be swell.
Like a crossbow that's, like, real good. Yeah, like a real special wand or something. Oh, Yeah. That'd be swell. Like a crossbow that's like real good.
Yeah, like a real special wand or something.
Oh, fuck.
That'd be nice.
That'd be, you know, like an armor.
1,800 gold pieces.
Woo!
I see.
But, I mean, compared with what our ultimate loot's going to be.
I know.
Compared with the mill, with the cold bill we're getting.
That cold bill.
That cold billion gold that guy promised us
And a kingdom
I heard a kingdom
I think I remember him saying I could have an entire nation
Magic item
Magic item please
You got a magic item
I'm having it
Before that though you find a gem
He gets cursed
You find a black pearl
What?
Shut up.
As if. What do you think?
One of these desert pearls.
This thing is so fucking rare.
Black pearl times pearl.
How do you get pearls?
You get from like.
From clams.
Yeah.
From clams.
Well, you know what?
64 taught me anything.
Yeah, exactly.
But guys, if you think about it, a desert was once a sea.
So it makes a lot of sense.
That's true.
No.
No, no, no. Oh, but he was so confident sea. So it makes a lot of sense. No. No, no, no.
Oh, but he was so confident when he said it.
Ah, and a
little ion stone. Sick.
Put it on my rooster.
No, give it to everyone.
Wait, is that the magic thing we found?
The one thing I
already had. Hang on.
No, there's many different ion stones.
Oh, really?
I hope this one was like plus constitution.
That'd be nice.
And I'll take it because I need the health.
Fair.
Yeah, no, it is the one you have.
It's the exact same one?
It's the exact same one.
Oh, sick.
Who wants to never have to eat or drink again?
I give it to you so that you never have to sleep or eat or drink.
Well, I'm easy.
It's yours if you want it.
I take it, mate.
Oh, fine.
Thank you very much.
It's very lovely.
Oh, Lillip.
You take it, mate, and I'm going to jess it a Lillip play.
And I'm like, I think I get it, and I keep it.
Perfect.
I'm with you all the way.
Are you going to activate it?
Yeah, I activate it.
Okay. the way are you going to activate it um yeah i activate it okay you all you need to do is you
just hold a little stone about yay about a foot from your head and say you can say that it doesn't
help but i i look at lula to see if she like clocks she's like man i know something as if
she noticed yeah she noticed i did something cool she doesn't know magic oh yeah she doesn't know
so she's like magic get a tricker.
She could be impressed by this.
Let's find out.
Look, the joy and magic of a relationship.
Highs or lows?
I'm going to go lows.
Hang on.
All right.
So this is my favorite part of the game.
Oh, no.
I'm going to let you re-choose.
Always change.
Change your choice,
knowing that I got an extreme.
This is the Monty Hall problem, isn't it?
You either did really well or really poorly,
and I'm going to let you change your answer if you want.
So the Monty Hall problem only works when there's three options,
and you change after that because that changes statistically what it's about.
But you haven't actually changed the statistics. You're just me a switch therefore it doesn't matter so i'm going to
paper scissors rock myself paper scissors rock this isn't gonna work just rock again i'm i'm
i'm gonna switch switch i'm gonna switch yeah she looks at you and she says, We are still in the halls of our ancestors.
Can you please not make light of this?
I say, stop giving me such little lip.
But then I don't actually say that.
I wish I could give you credit just for that.
But alas, I'm a bastard.
So after looting and that, I guess, can we continue through the passageway? To where the T intersection is?
Yeah.
What did we decide the cardinal directions were? And that, I guess, can we continue through the passageway? To where the T intersection is? Yeah.
What did we decide the cardinal directions were?
Adam Wood?
Jackson Wood?
Uh-huh.
Shanks Wood?
Zamet Wood?
So can we... I'll go first because I've got the most health, I guess.
I will go up the back, like always.
As is my want.
And have a quick peek around the corner.
Stomping on all the tiles to set off any and all traps.
Because we now have figurines. We've got two doors on either end around the corner. Stomping on all the tiles to set off any and all traps. So we now have figurines.
We've got two doors on either end of the corridor.
Oh, I'm doing it.
Fuck, this is fun.
There we go.
There you go.
All right, I'm going to go Shankswood.
Otherwise known as right.
You come up to the stone door.
Can I see if it's locked or anything?
No, it's not.
You can push it open if you want.
All right.
Can I be like, all right, guys, everyone get into the corridor so you're at least close
and near me.
Yeah, great.
Up the back.
In case anything...
Up the back near an unknown doorway.
Yeah.
Fingers crossed nothing comes out of there.
Can you just move this thing down near that?
Adam.
I can't.
I can't get it back.
It's like an undead ghoul dog.
Dragon.
It's a dragon, you idiot.
Let's open that door and see what happens.
A small square chapel.
Okay.
In the chapel is a long, disused figure of some sort of god, perhaps,
with its arms outstretched.
The figure is wearing this long,
thick robe, or
well, it's also made out of stone, obviously.
The statue is not wearing
a robe.
We need to dress our statue weakly!
And that obscures any features
about it. You can't even tell if it's an elf
or not. I want to get my sword out.
It's just robe, as far as we can see,
basically. Yeah, well, obviously a humanoid
figure. Something's under the robe.
Can I just waggle
my sword around to see
if anything's going? You awkwardly
stick your sword into
the robe, waggle it around
and no Indiana Jones
style light
effect trips any traps.
Okay, good.
I'm going to kind of just like gingerly just like stab at the statue.
Like nothing happens.
All right.
I walk up to the statue and try and using my wisdom and intelligence and potential knowledge of elven shit.
I just see if I recognize anything about it or if there's any like
inscription on it man there's even a little statue bloody there is an inscription that's good
and you can make it out as ain't it's once again that ancient form of elven it's hard for you to
make it out but you actually can read some of the words on this one. It's a prayer, a prayer of safety and of binding.
Hey, guys,
it's a prayer of safety
and binding.
What does binding mean?
Lillip also enters
the room.
Good question.
Binding is in,
well,
binding,
sticking something
to something else.
Right.
Does that mean
it's a spell,
potentially?
Hey, Lillip,
what do you make of this?
You're a smart,
cool elf chick. You're a smart, cool elf chick.
You're a smart, cool elf with your head on your shoulders.
Yeah, you're not a beautiful magic boy.
Lilip doesn't...
I mean, that's a...
I say that under my brace.
She doesn't hear that.
Okay, whatever.
Lilip doesn't say anything.
You can see that...
You just see an expression of awe on her face.
She falls to her knees in front of the statue
and prostrates herself in some sort of...
What?
Nothing.
Carry on.
Prostrate?
What do you mean by what?
As in praise before the statue.
I've never heard it called prostrate before.
Lies prostrate before the statue.
Yeah.
You've never heard prostrate?
No.
It sounds like prostate.
I know, but it's not.
It's similar.
She starts examining.
Your prostate. She doesn't respond to anyone who talks to her okay all right she in like a trance no she's just
praying she's in awe and prayer i i pray too i want to impress her and i'm an elf i'm like
you know an elven prayer you recite that yeah. Yeah. Can I whisper the glom? Because we're next to each other.
Yeah.
A glom.
A glom.
Is this fellow?
Or everyone is lying down in front of him?
I'm going to call it.
The statue.
It's, this is early depictions of an ancient elven god.
Name, their name was lost to time.
Perhaps Gloom is obviously
very keen to also enter the room.
You see hesitancy in him.
Perhaps the inscription says
something about it.
Can I just quickly...
Any of the tiles I haven't touched.
There's a lot of tiles in the room.
Would you like to trip them all?
I mean, would you like to step on them all?
Not trip them all
You'd be tripping them if they were traps
Just to be like
I'm just going to check for some traps, guys
Just everyone just
Just plant some hopscotch
Just plant some hopscotch
It's alright
Fuck, I love your checking for traps
Which is just jumping around
I just think
Imagine just getting my
Christ-like
Just spreading my arms
And you're just falling on the floor
High soles
Rolling around.
You're kind of killing our spiritual buzz.
That's fine.
You're like having this round like...
Our father who art in heaven.
Just touching shit.
Touching the statue.
High soar.
Nothing happens.
You tripped no traps.
So either the traps here are destroyed
Or there just aren't any
Gloom, give him the thumbs up
Gloom rushes into the room
Trouted
Trips over a trap
Guys are awful, horrible death
And with his last words, he curses you
Gloom kneels beside the inscription
And starts trying to read it out
But he can't seem to make out any more than you can
It's some
Well
Not your good Gloom
Yeah just some
All he can make out is the same
That you can
That it's some sort of prayer of protection
Of an area
Possibly this area
And binding
You're not sure binding what though
Just something about binding
So not to metagame
but just the definition of binding again is sort of a uh to keep something connected to something
else in a magical connection okay oh yeah in a magical sense you would say so it could be
hypothetically not asking what this actually is but it could be that the statue is bound to
like another statue across the the dungeon that is a possibility yeah okay can i
have a just a sneaky inspect of the room is in like is there anything odd there like anything
that i've like i stay just with romeo outside in the corridor i feel like i'll get in trouble if
i go on the road you feel around on the walls uh and after a little bit of searching you notice
that on the statue the eyes or where the eye sockets would be roughly, you know, underneath the hood.
There's kind of a slight mismatch on the stone there.
So you think the stone is it's a different type of stone that where the eyes are.
I'll point that to gloom.
But also, I think these eyes are and And then he's like... The three stooges, that shit.
Fuck, imagine if the statue's hand like...
You push the eyes in.
As you're pushing the eyes in, Gloom says...
But it's already happened.
You remove your two fingers or your two thumbs, whatever you use to push,
and the statue starts crying sand.
Oh, no, Edie.
Is the door still open?
The door is still open.
You're free to leave if you wish.
We'll even just shut the door behind you.
Gloom scrambles out of the room.
Yeah, I turn to Lilip and say,
Lilip, I think we should go.
She nods and says, but a moment.
She reaches out and catches some of the sand
And then leaves
I quickly grab some sand too
And I stuff it into my cloak or whatever
You can add a little bit of sand if you want
Do I have a little, I've got a backpack
Can I just like put it in the back
Fill one of your pockets
I've got pockets full of sand
Pockets full of sand, luckiest magic
Might write it down in case you forget.
It might be important later.
Pockets hand.
Like, throw it in someone's face.
That's it.
Well, yeah.
Are you shutting the door behind you?
I mean, I'd recommend it.
Gloom, should I?
Gloom, shrugs, I don't know.
I should have hired a trap finder.
I don't know why I hired you guys.
I suggest we stand on the episode. I don't know why I hired two guys I suggest we stand on the I don't know why I hide two magic boys
And no trap
Well like I mean
If it's a trap it's kind of weird to have it
In the eyes yeah
Possibly it's an odd way to trigger a trap
Yeah
I say we stand on the other side of the door bay so we're in the hall
And just kind of watch
I'm just worried the door's going to shut and we're going to get filled up and drown in sand.
I mean, good thing the door's open.
After a little while you hear like a
click, click, click, thunk
and then the crying stops. There's a small pile of
sand at the base of the statue now.
Okay guys, let's all grab some sand.
Can we examine the sand?
Is it different? Oh shit, I know all that
types of sand. You're like a sand genius.
I look at the sand and I use my intelligence.
It's...
Rub it on your gums like a cop in a 70s, like, fresh cocaine.
Fresh?
This is like fresh cocaine.
It's pure, that's what it's saying.
You probably, or if you rub it on your teeth, it's very unpleasant because upon closer inspection,
it is not sand, but actually finely grained glass.
Okay.
Rub it on your gums.
Let me just...
Just cut your gums up good.
Can I detect magic in the glass sand?
Yeah, you can detect magic.
It detects heavily of conjuration magic, so summoning magic.
of conjuration magic.
So summoning magic.
Okay, I use my wand of burning hands and I pick up the sand in my hands
and compress it whilst I use burning hands
and try and turn it into some,
fashion it into some sort of magical glass dagger
via melting.
Tell me that won't work.
You fashion
a glass dagger
which I will allow you to use
but it damages you
because it is made of glass
I was going to say, if you're just squishing it in your hands
it's more just like a weird
it's kind of more of a shiv
I'm adding it to my whip
add glass shiv or something.
Sick.
GD, glass dag.
It's not a magical glass dag?
No, no, no.
Just a glass dag.
It's a very intensive process to create magical weapons.
It was my theory.
I turned to Lilip and said, like,
impressed and sort of, like, whipped my hand out,
but it's dripping with blood.
Highs or lows? Highs. impressed and sort of like like like whip my hand out but it's dripping with blood eyes always highs okay so knowing that i got an extreme very high or very low would you like to change your answer no i'm gonna stay clever boy clever magic she She looks at the glass dagger you've created, ignoring the bloody hands that you have.
And you can see the same ore that she showed for the statue
she's now showing for the glass dagger.
So I'm, like, as impressive as an ancient god right now.
That's pretty good.
A little bit, yeah.
She seems very impressed with your craftsmanship.
She just mutters under her breath,
perhaps a dagger of the gods?
I like that Adam and I are now fled.
It's good.
Don't misinterpret this.
I guess Adam's into me.
All right.
I'll be back with a dagger, boys.
Yeah, she seems very impressed.
Nice, it's good to know.
I like to think that I'm a little disappointed in myself and the dice, but here we are.
If we were playing The Sims right now, our relationship would have a little green hit pointy thing going up it.
Plus.
It's a double plus.
Oh, nice, double plus.
Maybe triple plus if such a thing exists.
It does.
Can I go and inspect the statue again and just see if it's reset the eye sockets?
The eye sockets appear to have reset.
You can press them again if you'd like.
Just press them until the fucking thing fills.
So, Gloom, it's reset.
Do you want me to...
Gloom scampers back into the room.
All right.
Do you want me to press it again?
He...
Heisel, boys.
Here is what I think, boys.
Is that once this may be fired out the glass like a rocket, like...
But over time, now it just rolls out on the floor.
I think Gloom might be right.
I'm not Gloom.
Gloom.
Sorry, I'm Gloom.
I think Anton might be right.
What?
I think this is a broken trap.
I think we have wasted a lot of time.
All right.
Anton, you just go into that room with Gloom while I open up the next door.
I walk into the glass room.
Just away from the door.
I try not to stand on the glass.
You open up the room.
It is...
It's big.
Yeah, it's pretty big.
There's...
It's just one big empty room,
except for one of those standing stones,
one of the seals in the dead centre of the room,
and you can see writing upon it.
All right.
I'll enter the room and make sure I...
Lillip is near me,
so if anything goes...
All right. It'd be nice to
have you close. So two people are going in at the same time?
Yeah. Is that my rooster in as well?
Actually, can I cast Chill Touch on my rooster just
beforehand? Yeah, sure. Like, just to have it in?
You can have it charged with Chill Touch. Romeo's got Chill Touch in him.
Good. So,
all three of you enter roughly
the same time. Lilip,
I'll say, her second step
into the room, you all hear click hear click thunk and you look around
to see that she has triggered a trap she looks at you shane and she says i'm so sorry from no
walkers mate above both of you spears stab downwards at you. This time, they reach you. Are these just, like,
gonna just skewer you?
Right down the spine.
Shane, you bring your shield up
at the last moment.
And the spears just shatter on your shield.
What's your rooster's armor class?
My rooster's armor class?
Oh, no!
It has a
AC of 16.
16? What's its hit points?
Um.
Four.
Oh no.
Not the Romeo.
Romeo takes
seven points of damage.
Dropping him to negative three.
Not dead yet, but badly incapacitated.
Mon dieu.
I'll go down a level if my rooster dies I know
I have to heal him
He got critted
Lilip got critted
Sucking chest wound
It dug deep
On Lilip
On Lilip
Lilip
Double damage and target is exhausted God damn it And Lilith. Lilith! Lilith! Lilith! No!
Double damage and target is exhausted.
God damn it. So many sneaky naps in this dungeon.
That's Dungeoneering.
She negates the exhaustion.
But it's still double damage.
That's Dungeoneering.
You have a nap, you know.
Lilith takes 20 points of damage.
When a spear pierces through her collarbone
and goes deep enough to kind of stick out her thigh.
Is that what hits my rooster?
Yes.
Yes.
Out of her into the rooster.
That was good aim.
Right.
Are we in initiative?
Did it summon a beast?
If not, I'm going to try and...
It's just the trap.
None of us have detect trap, do we?
No.
Because stabilize
that rooster. Every single rooster has to be like
walking around, waiting for it.
We just never notice. Will a lack
of trap finding be the downfall of our
party? Or will they just keep losing
attribute points until they wish
they were dead? Find out next
time on Buried Beneath, a D&D
