Starting point is 00:00:00 SansPence Radio, Chimera, I hardly know her. There's nothing sadder than a group of adults sitting around a table discussing how many hit points their character has, but that's exactly what we're going to do today. I'm Jackson Bailey, and I don't know who I'll be playing. This is Ali Kathleen. Hello! In a similar predicament. Joel Zammett.
Starting point is 00:00:19 G'day. The same. And our illustrious and handsome DM, Adam Crabapple. That's not my name. Previously on D&D is for Nerds. It's our first episode. Shut the fuck up. So we're going to be playing Dungeons & Dragons.
Starting point is 00:00:42 This is 3.5 edition. I know some of you lovely ladies out there love some other editions, but this is the one we'll be playing. These numbers mean nothing to me, but go on. Not at all. I vaguely understand. Jackson, the only person who's played before. So don't worry, you've got the character sheets in front of you.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Don't worry too much if the numbers don't mean a lot to you right now. As we go along, you'll start, it's sort of like a learn-as-you-go type deal. For the most part, I'll be there to guide you. as we go along you'll start it's sort of like a learn as you go type deal for the most part i'll be there to you know guide you uh so we'll probably just go around and everyone can introduce their characters uh my name is uh is uh griff pom pom griff uh i was a wit like a wizard like like a chris is it griff pom griff k-r-i-f-p-u-m-p-u-m-k-r-U-M P-U-M-K-R-I-F I've got the benefit of oh no I was going to say I have the benefit of having my name
Starting point is 00:01:28 spelt the same forward and backwards but it doesn't because backwards my name is Mopferk but I was a wizard for a noble court or at least I tried out to see if I could be a wizard for a noble court
Starting point is 00:01:44 but alas my spells were no good because I'd been taught the wrong ones as a joke. And so I did not get the position and I guess I turned to being a sellsword. I'm a half-elf, which is great. Yeah, and a wizard. And like everybody else, I'm level one. Oh, no one else is level one yet.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, it says here I'm level one. Oh, no one else is level one yet. It says here I'm level 28. And it's everybody fight Jackson. Hang on, wait, Jackson, you're a cat? Oh, yes. Oh, thank you. I have a cat called Jiggle Lump. Hang on. Jess?
Starting point is 00:02:19 Because I'm trying to write down your name so NPCs can address you correctly. What did you say the cat's name was? Jiggle Lump. So J-I-G-G-A Lump. Did you use the Pokemon name generator? That does sound like a Pokemon.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Jigalump. Whoa. That was fucked up. No, it's a cat. And I like to imagine it's like a fat cat that is just like, you know when somebody has a cat Eating lasagna? Yeah. It's Garfield. You know when somebody has a cat that you're like, you lasagna? Yeah, it's Garfield. You know when somebody has a cat that you're like, you overfeed that, do you feed that gravy?
Starting point is 00:02:49 And they're like, yeah, whatever, it's okay. It's my cat. It's like that. A little whiskers, a little gravy, smash it up. It's good. I got to treat him right. Gross. Like maybe he has respiratory problems.
Starting point is 00:03:02 So gross. That's old Jiggle Lump. Jiggle Lump is so sick. Jiggle-Omp, see a doctor. I have no healing spells. And I've got to save all my health potions for me, Jiggle-Omp. I'm sorry. All your health potion for me.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah. Good, good. My name is Leo Shadow What a name I'm a level 1 rogue I'm a halfling I guess I'm a bit of a sellsword as well
Starting point is 00:03:35 Maybe had a bit of a falling out with the thieves guild, I'm guessing Maybe fucked up his initiation Didn't quite make it in there The thieves guild want you dead Oh no What did you do? maybe fucked up his initiation, didn't quite make it in there. The Thieves Guild want you dead. Oh, no. What did you do?
Starting point is 00:03:50 I just thought I didn't pass the exams, but this seems a bit more dire. I like the guy's like, you know, all right, so this is what you've got to steal, and you're like, I already stole your wallet, though. He's like, get the hell out of here. Bounty. Bounty on Leo. Fuck him up.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It's okay. You're on the run, and you're in a different country right now. Not going to catch you anytime soon. Good. That took a turn for the worse. I think we know each other? Yeah, you guys sell swords together. It's hard to find someone to
Starting point is 00:04:21 trust these days. If you can't find someone to trust, at least find a wizard or a rogue. All right. Go. Griff-pum. Griff-pum-pum-griff. I'm still unsure if I want my full name and only name. Not like Griff-pum space pum-griff,
Starting point is 00:04:37 but to be Griff-pum-pum-griff. People are just going to call you Griff. I can accept that. I'll call you Griff-pum-pum-pum-griff. That's what I want Leo I've added another pum Kriff pum pum pum Kriff
Starting point is 00:04:49 you're the best good was that it yeah I think so do you guys want to know about me Adam I'm also very handsome
Starting point is 00:04:57 oh that's good to hear you have a charisma of nine though I'm also not very handsome you can be very handsome but just not good with people Just beautiful people like
Starting point is 00:05:07 Hey and you're like Oh okay You could be dashingly handsome but a real dick to be around if you want I've got a charisma of 39 I can easily roleplay this Roleplay Adam said making air quotes
Starting point is 00:05:22 Oh joy So I am Princess Ainsley Foggy Feather role play, Adam said, making air quotes. Oh, joy. So I am Princess Ainsley Foggyfeather. I'm sorry, you're going to have to like, there's several different layers to that that you need to repeat for me. Princess. Princess Ainsley Foggyfeather. I have to say that with a straight face. Of the Foggyfeathers.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Princess Ainsley. How do you spell it, Ainsley? A-N-S-L-E-Y. A-I-N, isn't it? A, no, well, let's follow you spelling things wrong, if you like. Well, you know what? It's my universe, so your name magically has an I in it now. Well, no, A-N-S-L-E-Y.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So I'm Princess Ainsley Foggy Feather, who is probably maybe third, fourth daughter down the line, not really going to do much, so instead seeks a life of rebellion. So when I'm kidnapped by a wizard and some sort of assassin reject, I think that my life is going to turn out to be really fun. But I'm not very good at grasping the idea of rebellion, so I still kind of want to be royal.
Starting point is 00:06:30 So I kind of think we're hiding in a wet cave and you're like putting on your jackets and it'll be cold. Yeah, pretty much. When will dinner be served? Dinner is what you catch. So being the black sheep of the family, yeah, these guys come and kidnap me for some handsome ransom, but
Starting point is 00:06:47 my family is kind of like, well, we got three others. We kind of line them up. They're alright. So they don't really want me back. You live in a brutal kingdom. I know. We've all been
Starting point is 00:07:04 rejected. It's rough. We live in a brutal kingdom. Yeah. I know. We've all been rejected, guys. It's rough. Yeah. It's not great. Did we, like, just wait around in a cave for the ransom for, like, a good two months and be like, I don't think they're coming. I don't think they're going to give us the money.
Starting point is 00:07:15 And you're like, I think they will. I'm pretty sure they will. I mean, what if we get, like, two months? You're probably dealing with, like, a guard captain who thought that they were going to ransom, but, like, just wasn't kept in the loop. A couple months later, he comes to you and he's like, I don't know how to tell you this.
Starting point is 00:07:34 But the king said, and I quote, kill her. Oh, boy. So do we have like me and Griff? Griff Pompom Griff. Griff Pompom Pompom Griff. Griff Pompom Griff. So do we have like me and Kriff Kriff pom pom kriff Kriff pom pom kriff So we have like reverse Stockholm With Ainsley being like Nah you're our buddy now
Starting point is 00:07:53 I am so sorry for you If you want to call it reverse Stockholm That's fine by me Alright I'm glad So you guys are currently in the town of Edgegate Edgegate is a primarily human settlement
Starting point is 00:08:09 It sits on the edge of the Ironwood forest You're just in a tavern Chilling It's a bit of a rainy day So it's overcast outside And there's a lot of people in the tavern right now Because it's coming towards the end of the day. Where would you guys be
Starting point is 00:08:26 in the tavern? Seedy back room. Can you afford a room? Not like a seedy back booth? That's fine. The seediest, dirtiest booth available. My god, you guys are dirty.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Man, the thieves I want to sit on a potato sack though so I don't get my dress dirty. Your dress would still be filthy. Like a different kind of filthy. Filthy and starchy. You guys are a little scared of her because she's wearing this mangled, dirty dress with, like, a sack thing over it saying, I don't want to get it dirty, guys.
Starting point is 00:09:02 No, sit on the bench and then sit on the sack. All right. Oh, wait. Oh, I thought you were like wearing the sack to cover it. Like a potato sack. Like, you know how people wear those like plastic, like. Like a poncho. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I'd like to approach the, like, the bartender. Approach the bartender. He's a man who looks like he's seen a few too many punches to the face. Oh no. His nose is broken in maybe four different places, and he's polishing a dirty glass with a dirty rag. Hello, how are you, first of all? He just grunts.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Okay. My name's Griff Pompom Griff. Not quite a wizard. Just don't have enough for a room. That's not what I'm asking for, but a shower. Can we make some deal here for a shower? For bathing? His eyebrows like shoot up just a little bit. Shower? Like what the nobles have?
Starting point is 00:10:06 Like what I have? A bath? A pond? The sink? He just slowly shakes his head and says, where do you think you are, mate? In fear I'm going to scurry back to our booth. You push your way back through.
Starting point is 00:10:20 It's a bit crowded, so you've got to push your way through. No showers for anyone, guys. Did you offer him money? I didn't. I didn't even think. I just... Apparently I have some gold. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I pushed my way back through. Yeah, okay. I put down 15 gold. 15 gold! That's half of it! A shower? Are you taking this from Joel's... Are you taking this from Leo's gold or from yours?
Starting point is 00:10:53 If Leo held out the gold and he was like, we have gold, I would have grabbed it from his hand. Okay, yeah, you put down 15 gold. You piece of shit! The barkeep looks down at the gold, looks up at you. He takes the gold, just slides it slowly across the counter and puts it underneath the bar.
Starting point is 00:11:11 What do you want, mate? A shower or a bath. And a room. I get it. I have a 15 gold bar. What money you got for that, mate? I just gave you the 15, though, for the shower. Punch him in the face.
Starting point is 00:11:31 No! He looks like he's used to it. This may be the currency in this tavern. Punch him in the face! You can try punching him in the face if you want. I'd rather not. And he knows it. Let me just look through my spells real quick
Starting point is 00:11:49 what about a solid cube of wood do you say that to him yes which I can conjure up for you lickety split if his eyebrows were raised before they're just like shooting up now. What?
Starting point is 00:12:07 Like perhaps so that you could stand taller or you could... You could hit someone with it. I scurry over with my little halfling feet. Yeah, you both can see, Jackson, you both can see Kriff is struggling. Trying to hoist myself up to the bar so I'm at least, you know, not eye level, but he can see me now.
Starting point is 00:12:27 He's looking at his nipples. He's looking at his belt buckle. I'm looking up, kind of, just, hey, so. I lost us the 15. Yeah, I know, I saw. Is there anything we can do to get some of that back? I needed that. Uh.
Starting point is 00:12:45 He laughs in your face. Oh, boy. I've got 15 gold. Don't give him more. Okay. All of you, like, well, Kriff and Leo, you guys are a little bit distracted with the bartender,
Starting point is 00:13:01 but even you two notice. And Ainsley, you notice as well. Ainsley with an I, you notice as well. Ainsley with an A. The door to the tavern opens, and a really, like, dusty-looking traveller steps in. He's got this big brown overcoat, and underneath he's wearing, you can see, sort of,
Starting point is 00:13:21 it looks like care-worn armour, and you can see he's got a sword on his belt. He scans the entire tavern, and his eyes just rest on each of you for like a little bit. Does like a shiver go down me, like a fear of seeing a real man? That guy can afford clothes. That guy looks shabby.
Starting point is 00:13:43 This guy looks like he's seen his fair share of fights and he's probably won most of them. If not all. He saunters, basically, over to the bar and the barkeep just walks away from you over to him. Our money! Our money! I like.
Starting point is 00:14:00 So do I get a little bit of that back there, Crim? We're a team, though. Party funds. It's everybody's money. Okay. Guys, come on. Is anyone looking at us? If we walk to the bar, is anyone looking at us?
Starting point is 00:14:13 Well, Criff and Leo are already at the bar, so no one's going to think it's strange if they remain at the bar. Why don't we just reach over and take our gold back? Oh, wait, I'm a thief. Do you want to try that? Yes. I'm a sneaky piece of shit. We're going to be so rich.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Hang on, hang on, hang on. Do you want me to cause a distraction real quick? Yes. I'd like to cast... No, hey, it's one of my cantrips. Dancing Light. Dancing Light? What's a cantrip?
Starting point is 00:14:40 A cantrip being just like it's a level zero spell I can use as many times as I fuck. You're thinking of Fifth Ed. Am I? Yeah. Fuck, what's a cantrip in just like it's a level zero spell I can use as many times as I want. You're thinking of fifth ed. Am I? Yeah. Fuck, what's a cantrip in 3.5? It's the same thing, but it's a limited number in 3.5. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:51 So you could cast it, though. You cast Dancing Lights. The tavern goes like deathly silent. This is like, you know, farm folk. The closest thing to magic they've ever seen is this right now. The closest thing to magic they've ever seen is this right now. So you, you know, do a couple arcane hand gestures, say some magic words,
Starting point is 00:15:16 and just these hovering balls of light surround you. The tavern is, like, just enchanted. The barkeep and that guy, though, are still, they look like they're in a deep conversation, and they're the only people who don't pay attention to you. Distracted enough. I leap up on a table and get everybody's attention by dancing with the lights around me. You dance poorly,
Starting point is 00:15:33 but people are more interested in the lights. You're going to try and get the money? Uh-huh. Oh, man. Can I sneak or add something? Yeah, I just rolled that for you. You lean across the bar, grab the money. You're pretty sure some of the patrons saw you.
Starting point is 00:15:54 No one cares. Yes! Super. 50 gold richer. Well, just back to what we had initially. Breaking even. Square one really isn't an objective to achieve. I carry on dancing, I suppose. Getting caught up in the reverie.
Starting point is 00:16:15 You're just going to keep dancing? He's dancing worsens. I'm getting tired. That's funny because so is the tavern. We've seen these dancing lights. Yeah, they're like, you know, well, it's magic, so they're still, like, somewhat interested, but after you've seen, like, magical light, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:36 it's not much else it does. Oh, no. I'm going to sneak up to the bartender. It's, like, sneaky. Like, sneaky as opposed to. And try and listen to what they're saying. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Yeah. You really, really stealthily move your way through the crowd. No one seems to be paying attention to you. Like the limited attention that is on Jackson is enough for the crowd to not notice you. See guys, carry a potato sack. No one notices you in the farm. Everybody thinks you're potatoes. And you get right up to the bartender and that guy.
Starting point is 00:17:14 You hear the bartender's just like asking questions about you guys. He says, you know, do they come in armed? Do you think they can handle themselves? Yada, yada, some questions like that. Oh, that's a worry. The bartender says no to do that. They can't handle themselves. I'm going to pinch his butt.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Oh, no. You saucy wench. You're going to get us killed. Or betrothed. You, like, pinch his butt and you try to, you know, get up. Wait, are you trying to not be spotted doing this? I don't know. I'm trying to get his attention.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Okay. Well, you pinch his butt. He spins around quickly, grabs your hand. And you're like face to face with him. He's like right up in your grills. And he says, what do you want? Oh, I haven't got that far, guys. in your grills and he says, what do you want?
Starting point is 00:18:04 Oh, I haven't got that far, guys. I sort of just assumed he would, like, fall over with my womanly charm. You're so filthy. You're so filthy and smelly. He's just like, oh, gross. He's not like that. Like potatoes. I'm a princess, damn it.
Starting point is 00:18:22 He's more mad than disgusted, to be honest. Try and flirt, Alice. Come on, Aileen. I mean Aileen. You're going to try and chat him up? Ainsley. Ainsley, use your womanly charm. Come on, Ainsley. I want to do that.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm like signaling in the background. Titties and hips. Come on. Do you want to dance? Titties and hips. Your womanly charms have no effect on him, primarily because you stutter over your words and just say something to the effect of
Starting point is 00:18:45 mmm, mmm, mmm, nice face. That's a solid opening move, guys. You're in. He just pauses for a second. He doesn't know what the fuck is going on. He shakes his head and he gestures to
Starting point is 00:19:00 Leo and Griff and he says these two, they with you? Yes. We looking for approval? Are we? Adventurers, right? Yes. Rebellious adventurers.
Starting point is 00:19:16 I'm not a princess at all. Let's do this. He pauses again as if he's trying to comprehend what's going on. You see, like, he looks like he might be having second thoughts at this point, but he, like, shakes his head and he says, I have a proposition for you. I'll take it. Not that kind of proposition. I'll take it. Done.
Starting point is 00:19:35 He gestures to the table that you guys were sitting at. We'll walk over there and I'll show it to you. Buy us a drink and we'll talk more. Not that. Maybe buy us a drink. We're thirsty. Buy us a drink. I'm going to step down off the a drink. We're thirsty. Buy us all a drink and we'll talk more. I'm going to step down off the table if I've seen this going down. I've overheard.
Starting point is 00:19:50 The crowd is properly dispersed at this point. Free drinks were on the menu. You just like slide over to these two. Free drinks? Yeah. Well, actually the proposition is you pay me money and I give you something in return. Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:07 I don't know about that. What is it? Let's hear him out here. Is it a shower? You know, let's go to the table. I don't want to say this publicly in the tavern. He says, he like looks around. Is it drugs?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Because yes. All right, we'll go over to the table. You all like sit down in your booth. Yes Alright, we'll go over to the table You all like sit down in your booth He, out of his waistcoat Pulls a little map scroll And he just sits it down on the table
Starting point is 00:20:31 Do any of you guys know of a wizard Or mage called Wondrin Norton Yes, let's see if I do I have a hot thing Ask Jigglylum You do Oh sick Yeah, I'll Wondra Norton.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I'll Wondra Norton. The Norton family are like a group of wizards who have garnered magical powers from packs with demons and devils. I act like I know exactly what's going on. Like, yeah, yeah, I know. Of course, the Norton
Starting point is 00:21:02 guys. You don't know if he believes you or not, but he doesn't seem to care. Yeah, I'm into it. Anyway, Kriff, you know that the Wandering Norton is local to this area. He has not a tower. It's actually the opposite.
Starting point is 00:21:18 It's like a dungeon. Okay. And he's not a nice person. Sends raiding parties out to the surrounding villages, attacks them. But you also happen to know that he specializes in alchemy and alchemical agents. And he'd probably have a, like if you were to rob him, for example, he'd probably be able to get yourselves a tidy profit on some of the alchemical agents there.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Well, he's a dick, but a rich dick. And I do like robbing people. The authorities aren't going to care. Actually, if you could they might have a bounty out on him. Double profits! Although you're not sure if you could take him in a fight. You're not a great wizard. But with us combined.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Is that mysterious gentleman what you're proposing? He taps the scroll case that he brought out and he says, I happen to have the plans to the first level of his little dungeon. Yeah. All right. I'd be willing to sell them to you for a price. How much?
Starting point is 00:22:18 What are we talking here? Guys, we can double our profits if not triple our profits. He like looks you guys up and down. I reckon 20 gold. Four gold. Hard bowling him, yeah? Start low, go high. That's the best tactic.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Hang on. Oh, no. He laughs. Four and a half gold. He laughs again Four and a half gold. He laughs again. 67 gold. Slide of hand. 67 gold I'll take.
Starting point is 00:22:51 No, don't. Back to four gold. Back down, back down. Does someone else want to try and barter with him? What about 15 gold and a five-foot block of wood? Are you trying to sell this wood? You realize it only lasts for three rounds, right? But he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Really, you couldn't. He laughs at you as well, but it's not a mean way like it was with Anise. It's like sort of a, he legitimately finds that funny. Okay, good. He says 18 gold. All right, look, we'll pay the 18 gold,
Starting point is 00:23:29 but can you throw us in maybe something else have you got? Like any kind of weapons to go up against this guy? As you can see, we're weaponless, I lie. And more potato sacks. And as you can see, Ainsley over here isn't exactly well equipped or dressed for adventuring. So we need something to sort of get provisions. So we are not warriors.
Starting point is 00:23:50 25 gold and I'll give you a scroll that will get you past one of his traps. And new clothes. I don't have new clothes for you. He gestures to his meagre backpack. Do I look like I'm the kind of man You're wearing nice clothes Where'd you get the jacket Where'd you get that though
Starting point is 00:24:12 It looks prettier than mine Tell you what 8 gold throw us in that We'll give you everything we've got No shut the hell up 20 gold we'll take that and the jacket Shut the fuck up We don't give everything But not the scroll to get 20 gold. We'll take that and the jacket. No, but he was, shut the fuck up. We don't give everything.
Starting point is 00:24:26 But not the scroll to get past. No, we don't need that. No, we're fine. I'm overconfident. Wait, what are you gesturing to? The waistcoat. His jacket? His awesome jacket.
Starting point is 00:24:37 20 with that? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yes. Yes. High five. Oh, do you pass him the money? Yeah. Okay. He takes the money first five. Oh, do you pass him the money? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Okay. He takes the money first, but he gives you the scroll case and he takes off his coat and hands it to you. Yes. You are a halfling. He is a human. Oh, no. That coat is just too big.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Guys, I'm made of a snake. Do I get the coat? Do I get the coat? I get the coat. What are you? I'm half elf. Oh, no. No, I get the coat. I get the coat. The coat is? I'm half elf. No, I get the coat.
Starting point is 00:25:06 The coat is equally too large on both of you. What about me? He's not like a big man, but half elves are kind of slender, and, well, he's a big man. You're a princess. You're not that buff, Ainsley. Guys, we fucked up. I thought I was onto something.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Maybe we can sell this coat. Sell that coat to the bartender. That's a good idea. To his credit, he also unscrews the map case, pulls out the map, and he rolls it out for you to show you. All right. He gestures to this. It's like an antechamber.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Then beyond the antechamber is a throne room. Off to the throne room are barracks, a prison, officers' quarters, and an alchemy lab. The alchemy lab has stairs that go down to the next level. Adjoining the barracks is what's marked as a secret passageway, and it says secret entrance. It's not very secret, is it? It's on the map. It's on the blueprints to the... The guy gets mad at you.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Oh, no. We pissed him off. He gestures to one of the traps, which is in the entryway. He says it's a pit trap. You step on that, it's in the middle of the room, and you'll just fall through. It's a 10-foot drop, spikes at the bottom. Unpleasant.
Starting point is 00:26:22 That sounds like it'll hurt. I recommend you go in through the side entrance, he says, gesturing to the one with the barracks. I'm not sure. I think Wondrin knows about it, but I don't think he told his people about it. So you might catch them unawares. He gestures to another trap, which is on the door to the alchemy lab.
Starting point is 00:26:40 That one there, that's a lethal trap. You open that that and a magic spell hits you. Safe way to open it is with the scroll. I'll sell you extra. Or you can open it from a distance if you think you can. How much money did we give you? 20.
Starting point is 00:26:57 We had like 30 gold. We've got like 10 gold left. We can't buy that scroll. We're good. We'll just go through the side entrance. We'll risk it.
