Welcome to episode 3 of Husfirma Pride, a D&D is for Nerds adventure.
Previously I don't want another body on you, can't you?
I don't want another blacksmith death on my hands.
We still have problems around here. There's a wolf pack that have taken up residence,
a big wolf pack, we believe led by
a winter wolf. We might
be in Hosferma for like another
week. Maybe.
Could be months. That would suck.
This is why we need NPCs
to keep us in line and now
we've got an erratic one and we don't know what
to do.
She has a cloth thing
and she bundles it up making a bag. Do you understand what I'm saying? A hobo bag. Yeah, like a hobo bag. Like, put him on the harness, I don't know. She has a cloth thing, and she bundles it up, making a bag.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Like a hobo bag.
Yeah, like a hobo bag. Like a bindle. Yes.
Yeah, like a bindle.
Until one of your party
is in grave danger.
Open it now. Got it.
What's inside?
Adam, while they're fighting,
I would like to send Wesley to do
a chill touch.
Don't you try and pull rank.
We've been doing this for years.
You left, I got stuck behind. I left for our wars, Ellie.
I wanted to go, but they wouldn't let me.
The burial site isn't exactly a landmark that the Nordic people use,
but it's pretty noticeable, like, when you're just travelling.
The three of you plus Daniel are standing around the entryway to the tomb.
What are you thinking?
All right.
You reckon this is where the...
This is the place that you know of.
Have I got my strength back?
Oh, yeah, over the three days.
Oh, yeah, it's a three-day trip.
That's right.
Cool.
In that three days,
did you talk to Daniel at all about this?
Yeah, oh, definitely.
At some point in the trip,
maybe whilst we're camping tonight,
I would sidle up next to Daniel. The first night,. At some point in the trip, maybe whilst we're camping tonight, I'll saddle up next
to Daniel. The first night, you ask
Daniel, and Daniel says,
help me, when we
got Carl back, I'll tell you everything.
Alright. He's basically like
using it almost as blackmail
to get you. I'm coming anyway, Daniel, you could just
tell me, but sure. It's not like I've
tracked across the goddamn continent for this.
Fine, though, Daniel.
You are so sick of our shit.
I'm so sorry you had to trek across a continent
because you forgot a night we had together.
All right.
Hints.
I'm getting some information out of it.
You remember some stuff.
Yes.
What do you remember?
You get flashbacks.
You remember sitting on a boat with him.
A boat?!
Yep.
There's a river that freezes over during winter, but it runs near Lomacaine.
That still doesn't explain the roses.
As I come shuffling up.
Oh, also he would have been holding like a lute.
What the fuck?
What the fuck was this night?
Why don't I remember?
Do you bring it up with us yeah I'll crawl like into our tent
and be like I already rolled for you
yeah but that was for
roses wasn't it
no that was for just in general
Edric
you remember that
when
you would have left at this point so you don't know
very much about this but there would have been a point where
Daniel got like like, super...
Daniel and Cassius got, like, super, like, didn't want to talk to each other much.
Yeah, don't remember that.
It was a brief period. It was right before Cassius left.
After we were a thing.
Did I get cursed?
Does anybody remember a curse happening?
Did you date Cassius?
Yeah.
Yeah, we dated.
Where the hell was Zilly? Just, like, chuffing off, doing her own thing? You were date Cassius? Yeah. Yeah, we dated. Where the hell was
Zilly?
Just like chuffing off?
Doing her own thing?
You were younger.
We grew up.
You could have dated
a couple of boys
if you wanted to.
You could have dated
a couple of girls
if you wanted to.
I would like to.
Fine, whatever.
I swear my pride.
The word pride
just took on a hold of you.
I swear my pride.
Yeah.
Yeah, you guys were just not speaking for a while,
then you chuffed off.
Roses.
It was like maybe the three days before she left.
Yeah, remember, just before you left,
like about three days.
Roses, I can't help you.
I wish I remembered.
You spent the last week in Husperma super drunk.
You were super angry, I think.
Little drunk.
Very drunk.
Lot drunk.
I remember you being a lot drunk, and that's when you said you'd come back.
Oh, my God.
So anyway, you're standing at the foot of this thing.
The elves don't seem...
Either the elves have vacated this spot, or they, for some reason, haven't left centuries.
Yeah, I was going to say I want a very good look around for elves.
There is, like, some shrubbery nearby, but just even a cursory.
It's, like, not enough to hide a Sentry.
It's pretty sparse.
Okay.
It looks pretty abandoned.
If an elf was super determined, they could hide under the snow, but you'd freeze to death.
It looks pretty abandoned.
Cassius?
Yeah?
Can you see anything?
You've been travelling further than I have.
Of course, detect animals.
I won't detect people.
Yeah, true.
I can't see much in the way of...
All right. Are you looking for anything in particular?
No, just wondering if you could see something that I've missed.
So you believe there'll be elves down here?
Oh, actually, you would see something.
Gracious.
Use Mr. Fists.
I should have used Mr. Fists.
Sent Mr. Fists for a scout.
It's all right.
You see, like, maybe some wolves stalking nearby,
like, low, really super low to the ground.
Are these the magic wolves?
Do we see the winter wolf with them?
You can't tell.
Like, it doesn't...
Well, actually, does it tell you?
Is it just one winter wolf or is it a pack of winter wolves?
No, it's like one winter wolf.
Leading a pack.
Leads a pack of winter wolves.
Oh, magic.
It's just nature.
Exactly.
That's just the natural order of things.
Yeah, like that's just how it works.
You know, it's not...
For a sorceress living on her own, you don't know much about winter wolves.
I was asking you.
Yeah, Cassie.
I know, silly.
I'm very just-acted.
Just get completely into character for the D&D until we leave.
Yeah.
Which we don't, because it's live.
Every week.
Literally, I'm permanently Cassius.
Except now when I'm explaining.
Goddamn, Daniel, just tell me what happened.
It looks like it might be three wolves.
You can't tell much beyond that, though.
They're stalking nearby your position,
but from the way they're moving,
you don't think they've noticed you.
There's wolves, but they've not picked up on us
or anything.
Yeah, but I don't want to put my back to a pack of wolves.
Well, when we're in the mound, the wolves won't get us.
Wolves don't go in mounds, Edric.
I guess not.
All right, then.
Yeah, that's right.
Learn to goddamn wolf.
Just saying, but if they do notice, how far away are they?
Where's the hatch, and where are they, and where are us?
Okay, so you guys are north of this burial site.
The wolves, oh, you're maybe like 100 feet north of it.
The wolves are maybe 60 feet to the east of you,
stalking towards the hut itself.
You're a druid.
Can you do anything with charming an animal?
I have charmed something.
Telling them to just
Not attack us
I think it might be
Charm person
I don't think that counts
Yeah no
It's gotta be
Charm animal specific
Hey how long does
Dominate animal last
And how many animals
Can I dominate
Can I rave in
Featherland
Could I get
Wolf allies
Is my question
Better idea
I was just gonna make
A lion
Go down the hole wolf
Go down the hole
It lasts for A round per level So so it would last for five rounds.
That's not really...
It's like less than ten minutes.
I can make him tired with Ray of Infeed.
How's that sound?
If you want to, go nuts.
You can only hit one, though.
There's at least three.
What about Magic Missile?
That sounds wonderful.
Magic Missile, I think, would only hit one as well.
I think all my spells only hit one.
Look, they're not going to attack.
I think I'll give you an area.
They're wolves.
Fine, fine.
Let's go get some wolves.
All right.
I draw my longbow.
I'll take out my fists.
Just from a distance.
We're fighting these wolves?
Sure.
Yeah.
Daniel unlumbers his longbow as well, yeah.
Come on.
And what are you going to do, Ellie?
Zilly. Zilly. And what are you going to do, Ellie? Zilly.
Zilly.
I'm going to be honest,
I don't understand any of the things that you've highlighted here.
What does it say in Animal Explainer?
Magic missile.
Magic missile is like a missile that's just like magic,
like shooting a bullet, but it's magic.
Well done, Jack.
Good.
I'd like to do that.
It's just a magical projectile that you shoot out of your hand.
You'll shoot several, actually.
So I guess you all target a different wolf?
Yeah.
Yep, cool.
So I'll say I'll start.
Can I have a look at what they...
What are they stalking?
Like I said, they're just stalking towards the mound.
Yeah, we attack them.
Okay, so I'll say you attack the...
Edric, you attack the lead one.
That'll be a hit.
Fine, I'll just use my sling.
Right?
You have fireballs.
I don't want to waste fireballs on a goddamn wolf.
So your arrow flies far
and it flies true.
It strikes the wolf in its haunch
and you hear a yip
but it doesn't
die or anything like that.
Then we'll go with Daniel.
Daniel hits as well.
And it's a similar scenario.
He also hits it in the haunch, but because of his extra tension on the bow,
his arrow buries itself super deep.
Oh, yes.
I kind of give a bit of a nod to Daniel, like, well done.
Daniel can look after himself.
He's proven himself a little bit to me.
It's good work.
Good work.
I thought he would be ripped to shreds in the first half an hour.
You don't have much confidence in your allies, Edric.
I'm more protective.
I've lost the father.
What if we kill the son, rescue the father?
I'm like, hey, killed your son.
I got you.
I got you, but guess what?
Your son's died.
You know what's sad?
When a parent has to bury a child, guess what we're doing?
And Zilly, you fire your magic missile at the third one.
Yes.
There's lots of dice.
Lots of magic missiles.
You got a lot of power.
I really want to kill it.
Come on.
No, you don't kill it outright
But you like
Your magic missile slams into its side
Lifts it off its feet
And like dumps it unceremoniously
Like five feet away
I would like to at that point look over at Edric
And then wink
At who?
Oh Edric okay
I wink back and go well good hit
Thank you and then I'll continue on.
Is that a game?
I'm just trying to prove that, like, this is the whole trip will be proving to you that I'm worth a while.
Is Cassius gonna sling someone?
Oh, Cassius! Oh, that's right, you do have a sling.
I do have a sling, I've literally never used it!
Oh! If you kill with a sling,'ve literally never used it oh if you kill with a sling i swear to god
oh yeah critical hit crit hap crit hap the first crit hap okay so uh it so the sling fire
the projectiles the sling fires are called bullets. You fire it literally like a bullet, though.
It's like, there's like an almost an audible sound when it leaves the sling just from force.
Like a vortex.
All right.
Were those as a kid?
Yes.
You finish off the lead wolf.
Good job.
First kill.
First kill.
You've learned a lot since you've been away.
And Edric, your turn now.
So you get...
There's two wolves left still.
Draw off my war hammer and charge.
That's a turn?
Pretty much, yeah.
That'll be your entire turn.
You'll get up to the wolves,
but you won't be able to attack until next turn.
I'm doing that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Then it is...
I can't imagine me shirtless and covered in furs.
Who's left? Sorry. It's two walls.
Yeah, I'd like to... Alright.
Should I use the same? Can I do that? I don't know what
it's like to be a fucking sorceress. Yeah.
You can do that spell again, yeah.
Yeah, just remember you only get so many spells a day.
It'll say... Okay.
If you go back a page, up the
top... Oh, no, one more page back, sorry.
One of the columns is spells per day.
So that's a zero level spell.
I got four.
Yeah.
Magic Missile is a first level spell.
No, you got six a day.
You get six a day for them, six first level, and four second level.
Okay.
I have used one first level.
That light.
It's good, though.
Gives you energy.
Yeah, one first level.
Okay, I'd like to use the same one again please
Yep same one again on the same wolf you hit before
Yep
I'm pretty sure you're gonna kill him
Yeah
As I rolled it I'm like minimum damage kills him
You outright slay the wolf
You like blast
Oh no you don't know fallout
Um okay so you disintegrate It's torso torso and all its limbs go in different directions.
Oh my goodness.
This is very graphic.
I was not ready for this kind of trauma.
It's like a fountain of gore.
Like a literal fountain of gore.
Is this the first thing you've ever killed?
I would look.
I would like to look back at Edric again.
Do like a big double thumbs up.
And a big grin. The wolf snarls at you, Edric, and do like a big double thumbs up and a big grin the wolf snarls at you
Edric and bites at you
oh no
it like tries to bite your leg
but it like bites on your armor instead
and then
finally it is Daniel's turn
oh no
critical fail critical good Daniel's turn. Oh, no.
Critical fail.
Critical good.
Critical hit.
Good.
Critical happy.
Daniel, you bloody dog.
Okay, so it gets hit for regular damage,
and then, Edric, you get a free hit on it.
Good job.
Yeah.
Do something cool with it.
Can I do?
What is that noise from Adam? I have several things of power attack and cleave.
That's me having an orgasm.
Sorry?
What do the power attack, cleave, and sunder do?
Okay.
So improved sunder it's called.
Improved sunder allows you to, like, if someone else is wielding a sword,
it gives you bonuses to breaking their sword or a shield as well,
just anything really.
And power attack makes your attacks less likely to hit.
But if they do hit, they do more damage.
So basically, you're sacrificing accuracy for power.
Cleave means that if you kill an enemy, your blade keeps going.
And you get a free attack on another adjacent enemy.
Oh, cool.
All right.
Let's just Warhammer that in the face.
Let's just squish the head of a...
Yeah, so the arrow killed it, and then you come in with your Warhammer.
You're just squishing the head of a dead wolf.
Worth it.
Yeah, it's like...
You're just covered in gore.
Like, some of the gore hits you guys, Cassius, Zilly as well.
I don't give a fuck.
You've got like, flexor shit on you now.
Not literal shit, obviously.
Yeah, gross.
The blood and stuff.
It's just everywhere. Okay, gross. The blood and stuff. It's just everywhere.
Okay, alright. This is what water is.
Good one, Edric! As you...
As you approach
the... Oh, you're going up to the
mound, right? We're going into the mound.
Wait, we killed the wolves, so... Yes.
The last of the wolves are dead.
As you approach the mound...
Sorry, can I go and inspect the wolves
and see if any of them are winter wolves?
No, they're all just regular wolves
You would have, like, even
Edric, when he's like right up with the wolves
can tell that they're just regular ones
As you approach the mound
nothing happens
You get up onto the top of it I guess you move some snow away to find the hatch
you find it without too much trouble it's like all elven craft it looks very ornate and well
made but you imagine if you smashed it a couple times it'd break pretty easily does it seem like
anybody's been around here for a while i mean i know it's snowing so any tracks would be covered
but can i just like just do a survival check?
Can I detect magic?
Would that bring elves home?
Do you have that as a spell? I do!
Then you can. I would like to detect magic, Adam.
Hang on, I'll get to you
in just a sec.
Where is it?
Your...
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Pretty good.
You can tell that creatures have...
It's hard to...
It's been snowing, yeah.
It's been snowing.
You can tell that there is telltale presence
of people coming and going from here.
Okay.
Hard to say what, though.
All right, yeah, no worries.
And with detect magic, you can cast it,
but it's blocked by so much feet of stone
or inches of stone.
So you think if you cast it,
you wouldn't actually be able to see any magic going on below you.
Okay.
Sorry about the monotone.
That's okay.
That's how you feel.
I forgive you.
That's what you want.
So, all right.
I just wanted everyone to be wary of we might find some resistance down there.
Well done with the wolves. Daniel
and Zilly. I'm going to ask Daniel for a high five.
Does he respond?
Will he high five back? Daniel's like in a pretty
serious mood. He doesn't feel
up for a high five. I'm going to be like,
Zilly, it's...
I'm going to turn my hand around and be like, low five, Cassius?
I'll give you a little low five.
That's how Daniel feels right now.
Pretty low. So we're expecting resistance in there.
There might be resistance of elves.
They are a lot smarter than wolves,
so just be prepared for that.
They tend to be.
Zilly, please stay back a little bit
so you're out of danger.
Daniel, just stay by me, okay?
You open up the hatch.
There's a spiraling staircase maybe 10 feet across,
so it's very small and cramped, even single file.
Some of you big boys here might have to, like, scooch sideways.
This staircase is made for elves, not humans.
Fair enough.
Am I a delicate human?
Is it lit?
Probably. Like I'm a Nordic lady. You're not that delicate as a Nordic lady. case is made for elves not humans fair enough am i a delicate human is it lit probably yeah
like i'm a nordic lady so you're not that delicate as a nordic lady yeah you got a constitution of
16 and the strength it doesn't matter like you're probably much you've been ostracized how little
you've lived away from society you probably still killed like stuff with your bare hands yeah it's
husk firmer mate it's a rough place to live forget about it, it's Hoss Firm You need to be strong or you die
Yeah, exactly
Get busy punching animals or get busy dying
Is it dark?
Yeah, it's pitch black
You'll have to find your own
Do we have a light?
You light a torch?
Yeah, you probably have a torch
You probably have a light spell maybe
Can I hear any people?
I think you have dancing lights, sorry
Can I hear noises of people moving around?
You silly goose I know,? I think you have dancing lights. Sorry. Can I hear like noises of people moving around? I don't.
You silly goose.
I know.
I should have written down dancing lights.
I can hear ghosts.
Okay.
So you like take a second to listen and you hear like a shh and then everything goes quiet.
Lads, I think there's someone in the system.
I could hear some whispering and somebody said shush.
Okay. I want to scan
the darkness with my torch, see if I can
see anything. I can just imagine you
being like
through military and waiting for like as soon
as the quiet dude, like the fist up in the air.
I just kind of be like, what?
I shot it. I heard someone say
shush. Right, let's go.
You can't
see anything. Your eyes aren't good.
Elves are...
Oh, wait, you're a dwarf.
That's right.
I sure am.
You don't need the light.
You can see with dark vision.
I'll throw my torch away.
Well, you shouldn't do that.
I'm holding a torch to knock it.
Why?
So dwarves have an ability called dark vision,
which means you can see in pitch dark,
but only in black and white.
With that vision, you can see the bottom of this staircase.
There's nothing down the bottom.
Nothing to see.
So can you...
Nothing there?
Yeah, I'll let you know.
I call out an elven.
Hello.
Nothing.
No response.
Call out again.
We don't want to fight.
We're just looking for a commander. Nothing. No response. Call that again. We don't want to fight. We're just looking for a commander.
Nothing.
Cassius with me.
Daniel behind.
Zilli, rearguard.
Let's troop on in.
Okay.
You start heading down.
Cassius, because you're using darkvision right now.
Yeah, because of your darkvisionvision you can't actually see it
but everyone else can with the torch
the walls have this beautiful mosaic
painted onto them
but because Cassius is only in black and white
he can't tell what's going on
it's like
of an elaborate elven
some sort of funeral or something like that
you can see a tableau
of them wrapping a body
and then putting it into a coffin.
It sort of follows you.
This tableau follows you as you walk down the spiral staircase.
You get to the bottom,
and there's two paths going in different directions.
As far as you can see...
Oh, they just disappear out into the darkness.
None of your vision can see further.
Mr. Fists, take the path to the left.
You want him to fly?
It's like a low ceiling.
He won't have a lot of room to maneuver.
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.
He might actually have to just hop down and walk.
Do that.
Super cute.
Can Wesley do stuff?
Wesley can do that as well, yeah.
So we're sending Wesley with Mr. Fist on a journey.
Guys, I can talk to my animal.
What's Wesley saying, Adam?
He's like, I don't want to go alone.
Well, you've got Mr. Fist.
I don't want to go with just an owl.
Hang on.
I'm going to go talk to animals and get in on this conversation.
Mr. Fist, Wesley's alone.
Can I...
Oh, your conversation echoes, by the way. Like, you can i oh your conversation echoes by the way like you can
try to whisper it but the whispering i realized for some reason i've been playing cassius like
very long what am i doing that's not cassius i'm yelling into the tunnel okay mr fist go down that
alley that that tunnel there and uh company wesley here uh which one are you sending them down left
or right left left left left okay the thing that you did to me, is there a timer?
Can you apply that to your...
That's a good question, Edric.
Adam?
Moves the mic away from his head.
I'm like, is he done?
Is he done with us?
He's leaving.
Has he finally snapped?
I set him off.
Our last time.
Hold on, I can tell you stuff.
No, what I mean is if you can.
Touch of fatigue.
Yes, but the one that you attacked me with, Zilly.
Duration, instantaneous.
No, what I mean is can you ready it on Wesley so that if he,
is it a he weasel or is it a she weasel?
It's a her weasel.
Her weasel?
If you ready it on him.
Okay, so the way it works is the Wesley can hold on to the spell indefinitely,
but if you cast another spell, it ends.
Okay, all right.
So just until you cast another spell. I can't do that with Mr. Fist, can I? No. spell, it ends. Okay. So just until you cast another spell.
I can't do that with Mr. Fist, can I?
No.
That's a shame.
No.
Guys, I'll do Touch of Fatigue because then they're tired.
Yeah.
And then Mr. Fist can attack them.
The perfect team.
Can you communicate?
Sorry, I'm just not familiar with witches.
Sorceress.
Sorry, sorceress.
Can you communicate with your weasel from a long distance?
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm looking at Adderall.
You have an empathetic link, the same that Jackson does.
So if they're in trouble and we haven't found anything, we will know.
It can speak like words with you as well, but to do that, it needs to make sounds.
Basically, it would need to shout
for you to hear it.
But I can feel if it's scared or anything.
We'll also conjecture.
We'll send Wesley
and Mr. Fist to the dream team.
I'll load him up with a little bit
of touch of fatigue.
Daniel shifts a little.
He's super quick.
What? Why is it rolling?
Daniel's afraid of
man.
No, Edric,
you immediately get
he's like impatient.
He wants to
keep moving.
He doesn't want to
fuck around with
some animals.
Yeah.
All right.
Daniel,
we'll get there.
We just need to be careful.
I don't think you understand
how dangerous
this situation is.
You send them off down the left passage?
But I'm going to give them a little bit like,
don't put yourself in danger.
You'll come straight back, okay?
I'll be like, Mr. Fists, don't you let anything happen to Wesley, eh?
Is Mr. Fists responding?
Mr. Fists, who's?
I can't talk to animals, but you're going to hoot at me, Mr. Fists?
Did I piss you off?
No, he just actually who's.
He doesn't say anything.
That's his response.
I like turn to Edric.
I'm like, owls.
I give you a puzzled look and go down the right path.
Mr. Fist is walking, by the way.
Oh, are you guys just waiting for them at that intersection?
No, we go to the right.
We go down the right path.
Oh, you go.
Okay.
They almost immediately come back
and Mr. Fist is like, like, cracking down the thing.
Oh, that's super cute.
I like quick up my arm, I kneel down.
What's up?
Oh, you still got, yeah, you still down, what's up Mr. Fist says
webs, lots of webs
like lots thick
super thick webs
let's go down the right, we'll come back if we need to
alright, sounds good
let's go Wesley, and I pop him back on my shoulder
like a scarf
I pop Mr. Fist back on my shoulder like an owl on my shoulder
I trudge on down the right I have no familiar I pop Mr. Fist back on my shoulder like an owl on my shoulder.
Trudge on down the road.
I have no familiar.
You're walking down that way.
Who is... This is like a two by two, so two people can stand on either.
I'll go at the front.
Me and Cassius at the front.
Yeah, okay, you and Cassius.
New kids at the back.
New kids on the block was a band in the 80s.
Good job.
As you're walking...
Uh-oh.
Yeah, pretty much all of you.
You can still hear the...
Like there's whispering
going on around you.
On either side,
you can see as well
there are like coffins
set along here.
I'm super speed.
Anybody else hear ghosts?
I call out Elvish again,
or Elven again
Anyone out there, we don't mean you harm
Wait for response
Are you stopping and saying this?
I just say it
As you're walking?
Yeah
No response
And Cassius and Edric are up the front
You get shot in the face with arrows
You get
That's by an alligator.
An alley alligator.
Speaking of which,
Jackson Bailey's got changed form
as a druid. Really? Yeah.
Are you going to do this? What are you going to do? I don't know.
I'm excited though for the first time I change into a
one of nature's beasts.
Water buffalo.
It's too small.
So, I'm going to say, Edric, Water buffalo It's too small So
I'm going to say Edric
You
One foot after the other, pretty simple
Until you take a step
And then the stone moves down
A little bit
And you hear a clicking sound
From previously
Unseen perforated holes
In the walls,
arrows start shooting out at both you and Cassius.
Both of you take...
Oh, Jesus.
I have nothing to help with this.
Why is there nothing to help with this?
We're idiots.
We didn't know what was going to happen.
Edric, you take three points of damage.
And Cassius, you take two points of damage. I'm alright. Yeah I'm a
tough little cookie. Ow. Oh that hurt I and me. That hurt. That was me being You said that's the first time you've ever pulled an accent. Usually just like... Yeah, true.
You yell a lot.
I do yell.
Yelling's an accent.
Yelling is not an accent.
Okay.
That happens.
And then nothing else.
Oh, that's nice.
Good.
I'd like to detect magic.
Just be careful where you step.
You actually do that?
Because I have arrows in my side.
You don't know until you've done it.
I'll detect... I wish I had
detect traps. That would help.
I think that is a spell, but for clerics.
I keep walking ever so gingerly,
a little bit more cautiously. Can I detect magic, please?
Can we get past the arrow
firing trap and then detect magic?
Sure. You detect
magic. There's like
a faint, soft glow of magic all around
you
after like studying it for a little while
you detect it as necromantic magic
oh guys
this is necromantic magic
told you it was ghosts
I like necromantic
that's romantic
you still hear the whispering
anybody else hear the whispers
yes I hear them yes That's romantic. You still hear the whispering. Anybody else hear the whispers?
Yes, I hear them.
Yep.
Yes.
All right. So we can continue down this path, literally this path.
Yep.
We might find some evidence of Carl.
Carl Hoff?
Carl Hoff.
However, if it is just necromancy, I'm not familiar with necromancy.
It's fine.
It's just skeletons, ghosts.
It's easy.
Who's holding light, by the way?
I am.
Anyone else?
No.
And it's a torch, right?
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Oh, no.
Foreshadowing.
I feel like we're going to explode because of tomb gas.
Zilly, do you know if it's, does someone have to be here for this magic to work?
Is it the burial ground itself?
I have read about this and I know that slashing might do damage.
But not stabbing.
Stabbing does nothing to zombies.
Depends on the skeletons and zombies are different.
But if we can set a flame on fire, I think that helps if you hit a zombie dragon's butt.
Daniel, it's up to you.
He's your father.
Do we continue on or do we try somewhere else?
I honestly...
If I have to tear this place apart to find him, I'll do it.
Adam, I would have read lots of books because that's my only solace.
Would I be able to give any other information than stuff from two seasons ago?
That's what Ali has learned.
And even then, it's not the best.
I just keep remembering that one thing doesn't work, but then the other thing does.
So, you want to know about zombies and skeletons and their weaknesses?
No, the necromantic.
Well, necromancy doesn't necessarily mean zombies or skeletons.
It could also mean a ghost or something like that.
Odd whisperings type of stuff sounds super sinister
and like an intelligent creature maybe.
Zombies and skeletons, not typically intelligent.
Ghosts often are.
I would like to relay all this information to everyone else around me.
I already said it was ghosts!
Stand as cast as everyone
just be ready to attack
if anything attacks us.
I'm going to keep walking down the tunnel.
You take another
three steps or something like that, and then
looming in the light, you can all see
a big iron door.
Once again, it's very elaborately
made, and it's got the
visage of a very important
looking elf carved into it.
Can I roll history of shit
to know which elf?
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
Jackson Belly, thinker with his noggin.
What's that?
It's knowledge history.
Do I even have that?
You could still roll.
I can roll.
No, I only have knowledge of nature.
You're an idiot.
Sue, you...
Let's see.
No, you've never heard of anyone fitting this description
or who could be buried here.
Through the door, lads!
Whose tomb do our heroes stand in?
And what could that mean for them?
