Starting point is 00:00:00 Sands Pants Radio, I cast Diminish Plants. There's nothing sadder than a group of adults sitting around a table trying to tame sandworms in a desert. But that's exactly what we're going to be doing. Welcome to episode 16 of D&D is for Nerds. Join the green-shirted Allie as Princess Ainsley Foggyfeather. How did you know the colour? Join the button-shirted Jackson playing Criff Pum Pumfeather. How did you know the colour? Join the button-shirted Jackson playing Criff Pum Pumcriff.
Starting point is 00:00:27 How did you know the colour? And Joel, not wearing anything, as Leo Shadow. How did you know the colour? As always, I'm your DM, Adam Koolaid. That's not your name. Shush. Previously on D&D is for Nerds, Captain De Silva, he says. We need to get in the name of your tailor.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Can I scan the ship for strange? Well, you're like pure jerk, so... Yeah, hi, full elf. I'm in the long game. Ainsley makes a beeline for Grayson, and it's quite obvious. The dice are on my side today, Adam. You are a predator. He is so oblivious.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Okay, all right. Hard to get, that's all. All right. You absolute delight. As you've been voyaging for several nights... In one of those nights, I want to go inspect the...
Starting point is 00:01:16 There's more or less always a guard kept in the cargo hold. Yeah. Can I sneak past him? You can try. I want to try and sneak past a guard. Oh, that wasn't all right. Adam had an idea.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah, on this particular night, I'm going to say it's like maybe a month in. Oh, no, because he would have left. So we'll say maybe three weeks in. You sneak past the guard. You snoop around. The cargo hold isn't full, but there is enough crates that it is hard to pick his out
Starting point is 00:01:52 in that they're all crates. So there's no smaller one, particularly smaller one? There are some smaller ones, but you don't know if his is the smallest. Do you want to start at the smallest? Yeah. Start at the smallest. Well, it's like hammer the smallest. Do you want to start at the smallest? Yeah. It's like hammered shot. Do you have a crowbar?
Starting point is 00:02:09 I've got thieves tools. That's for picking locks. Adam knows you don't have a crowbar. Damn straight I do. To be fair, he could have. Just nick it. Just fucking nick it. It's a bit too big for that. Alright.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Can I look around for a crowbar? Come on, dice Help me out You can't find a crowbar That's upsetting Adam, one night I'd like to go invisible and sneak into the elf's cabin Uh, okay
Starting point is 00:02:41 That's the best Adam noise That's like You've done something dumb but it's gonna work Or not That's the shit right there Higher or lower Okay You open the door, is this at night?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah He's got his own one He's sleeping in a hammock. He's got like the bunk, his like little trunk thing beneath him. It's small, like maybe the size of a small little backpack. Other than that, though, the room is pretty bare. There's other hammocks, but nothing much else. Nobody's using them?
Starting point is 00:03:21 No, he's got his own room. They just haven't taken them down at all. Like they did for someone's room. I want to try and find a crowbar and return to the cargo hold. I'll get to you. That's going to take a while. All right. I realise that there's no point to what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I'll leave. Okay. Search his room for, like, you know, a diary or something. All right, I'll search his room for like you know a diary or something alright I'll search his room for a diary the room is bare except the trunk are you opening the trunk? if I can sure
Starting point is 00:03:54 locked yeah nah never mind oh wait is it grabbable? it is pick up-able yeah I'll pick it up and chuff out
Starting point is 00:04:02 okay because it goes invisible as well. Yeah, you leave with his trunk. Sick. All right. You, Leo. Who was that? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:04:15 As you're, like, sneaking out, the guard gets up. He, like, reaches for a bracket with a lantern on it, pulls it out, and he draws a weapon. Oh, no. Who's there? I hide. I hide. You're already hiding.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Good. You think he just heard you because you're partway up the stairs. But I'm little, so I can hide places. You can try to hide places. I'm little and I can try to hide places. So you're going to hide. Yeah, you try to secret yourself maybe underneath the stairs or something like that. Like a genius.
Starting point is 00:04:47 You see the guard like lean over and like the torch signs torch, sorry, the lantern shines in your face. And the guard looks down at you. What are you doing here? I was just getting up from my face. I'm so tired. I act drunk. What are you doing down here?
Starting point is 00:05:04 I'm was lost. Back upstairs. He like leads you back up to the next level where the crew quarters is. I like stumble like I'm drunk. I'd like to search for either Ainsley or Leo. Ainsley, what are you doing? Like on a night, say. Of a night where there is drinking, would you be drinking?
Starting point is 00:05:24 I would be drinking like a percentage of the time. Both of you would just know Ainsley is getting plastered upstairs then. So either drinking or trying to make the moves on Grayson. I'll trip up to Ainsley. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:38 And Leo, what are you doing after you get kicked out? I guess I try and go back to our cabin. Okay. And sock. Ainsley is getting raucous drunk Did I get anything or was I caught on the way out? You were caught on the way out You didn't get a crowbar
Starting point is 00:05:54 You were on your way out to get a crowbar And you got caught on the way out I want to search the ship The ship for a crowbar I didn't realize I needed a crowbar for all my thieving. To open a crate? Yes, you need a crowbar. I feel like I now just need a crowbar on hand.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Just in case. Well, apparently they don't have a fucking crowbar in them. If I pick a box. Couldn't you have any? Oh, got it. Leo, hi, Olo. Hi. Okay, I'll get back to you in a minute.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I enter the drinking hall. Is that where I'm going? It's the... silver's cabin. I instantly realize that I am invisible. And the moment I touch Ainsley to alert her to my presence, she will similarly go invisible. No, that's not how it works. Isn't it?
Starting point is 00:06:40 That's what it said. No, it's a tended object. Oh, okay. Not people. Even if you picked Ainsley up, I'd argue that it doesn't work. Good. It's like if you took something out of Ainsley's pocket, that would become invisible.
Starting point is 00:06:51 All right. I'll go and tap Ainsley on the shoulder. And I'm going to be like, who's that? Ainsley, you're drunk. I'm going to roll to see how you react. Can I get a high or a low? A low. A low?
Starting point is 00:07:03 A low. You freak out. Do it. Oh, no. You think maybe a ghost. There's a ghost of Dustin's who knows what anymore. Dustin isn't dead. But his daughter might be.
Starting point is 00:07:15 She pissed. She's pissed, guys. I say it's just me. Oh. Oh, hey, buddy. I say it's just me. Oh, hey, buddy. The entire cabin is staring at you, Ainsley. Good night, good sirs. And I walk out.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Well, I move out. As you're walking out, the silver chuckles a little bit and slides a beer to you. I love that man. He's going to get a butt pinching. Oh, my God. I love that man He's gonna get a butt pinching Oh my god I forgot to say Every single fucking day De Silva, different outfit You never see
Starting point is 00:07:53 It's not even like mixing and matching You never see the same vest You never see the same jacket You never see the same shirt Sometimes hats maybe But nothing else What an absolute champion I try and take her somewhere
Starting point is 00:08:05 unattended. Anywhere. Not the deck. I'll go to our cabin. Alright, let's go. Leo, you're in on this now. Oh wait, no, you're searching the ship. Yeah, I'm searching for a crowbar. Yeah, you find it. Yes. Find the crowbar just in the crew quarter area. Cool.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Yeah, I go back to the cargo hold and try and sneak. Oh, the cargo hold? Yeah. I like wandered down. Let me have a bit of a peek. I'm going to give it a go this time. The guard seems somewhat alert now after that incident.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And he like, as you get to the bottom of the stairs, his position looks unattended, but he like leaps out of almost like out of the shadows. Still drunk, mate? Yes. Yes. That's so shady. He doesn't seem to buy your story this time. His eyes narrow and he
Starting point is 00:08:56 says, well, you might want to go back upstairs. Can I bribe him? You can try. I'd try and bribe him. How are you going to do it and how much are you bribing him with? With hugs and love. Go. Simple butt pinch.
Starting point is 00:09:09 There is something in that cargo hold of absolute wealth. How about this? I'll give you a little bit of gold and I'll split whatever I can get. What's a little bit of gold? How much do I have? You don't have any. I have no gold. I don't have any gold. How much do I have? You don't have any. I don't have any gold. Actually, Samit, from memory
Starting point is 00:09:29 there was a discussion where I was like, I'm going to keep five gold on me. And you were like, no, no, give it all to Ainsley. From memory. I want to say ten gold. Ten gold? Do you have it on you? Do you show him the money? Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Wait, where did you get the 10 gold then? I would have given him 10 gold to get it. Just chuff back up to Ainsley. Chuff back up to Ainsley. Get some gold. Come back. 10 gold. No.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Chuff back up to Ainsley. Grab 10 more gold. 20 gold. No. It's not worth my job, mate. What is worth your job, mate? Can you set me up for life? How much?
Starting point is 00:10:09 And then some. Like 23 gold? De Silva's a man of revenge. What stuff are you stealing again? The elf. It's the stuff I found. Oh, yeah, that's fine. What is De Silva worried about?
Starting point is 00:10:21 I just leave in a huff. But I got a crowbar now, Adam. As you're leaving, he yells, I catch you down here again, it'll be your head. Oh, ship justice. Let's get him drunk. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Let's get that guy drunk and then distract him. It's like a rotate. It's not the same guard every time. Oh, that's good to know. Good. You can try with all the guards. Damn right. One guy will be bribable.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah. Grumpily ch try with all the guys. Damn right. One guy will be bribable. Yeah. I, yeah, chuffed back to the, grumpily chuffed back to our cabin. What are you doing back in your room then? I lead Ainsley back into the room and then un-invisible drop the crate. Okay. Okay, let's have this conversation. Okay. What?
Starting point is 00:11:04 It's the elf's crate. You mean Okay. What? It's the elf's crate. You mean racist jerk elf? It's racist elf. It's the racist jerk elf's crate. How did you bring it all the way here? You can just say elf, to be honest. Nah, it's the full elf's crate. Oh, man, that guy.
Starting point is 00:11:17 That full elf. No, I think, I don't know. I don't know why I took it. How do we over it? I've been drunk for like a month. Thoughts are adult. How do we get into it? Let's just open it and wreck his shit.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Okay. Let's do it. We'll open it if we can. It's locked. Where am I, by the way? You probably come in as they're trying to. I think I know a little bit about your modus operandi. So I'm going to say as you come in, they've trying to I think I know a little bit about your modus of operandi so I'm going to say as you come in
Starting point is 00:11:47 they've realised it's locked so they're with their bare hands attempting to pry it open yes I'm holding the lid and I'm like you grab the bottom and pull Leo comes in with a crowbar in one hand I take one look and be like racist elf
Starting point is 00:12:03 I grab my crowbar you realise you have thieves take one look and be like, racist elf? Yes. I grab my crowbar just like clunk, clunk. You realize you have thieves tools. You could just pick the lock up. I had to search. I want to use this crowbar.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm annoyed now. Clunk, clunk. No. All right. Then I just throw the crowbar down and get out my thieves tools. You could just try again if you wanted to.
Starting point is 00:12:22 If you really want to go with the crowbar. I'll get Ainsley. Ainsley is a lot stronger than you. I'll have a go and be like, step aside, ladies. You are the only lady. I know. But see what I'm doing?
Starting point is 00:12:32 I'm insulting Desmond. You actually also fail. I just push her away and just thieves tool it. Try and pick its lock. You fail to pick the lock. I keep trying to pick its lock. Griff, your turn. Okay, you get it on the second go.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It takes you like a solid half hour to crack it, though. Stupid fucking racist, stupid guard. It's better be fucking worth it. The trunk opens and it's filled with papers. Oh, damn, it's just papers. One of them is actually like a really well done oil painting. It's of the elf and it looks like his family. Set it on fire?
Starting point is 00:13:07 Slash the painting. Oh no! That's better, hold on. Setting it on fire is better than slashing it. I just slashed the painting. Yeah, okay. It's not like in a thing. You just want to tear it apart. Yeah, it's like stabbing stupid face. Throw that on the ground.
Starting point is 00:13:23 What else is through here? Can I just go through the papers, reading them, chucking them off? It's correspondence with his family. Let's read them all. We are going. Let's just lock the door, sit down, get like a tuna, get a hot cocoa or a beer probably. A hot beer. Ask.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Maybe he has cocoa. I don't want to. I'm afraid he'll be like, what? And we'll just go through them. Vodka? Just read about his life. Okay, well, it's, like I said, correspondence with his family, almost entirely.
Starting point is 00:13:56 There's a couple, like, sort of pages about, like, not diary entries, but, like like some writings about his experiences at an arcane university you've never heard of. The rest of it is exclusively letters from his family. You assume, obviously, anyone...
Starting point is 00:14:18 Yeah, they have the other ones. A bunch of them, like, talk about his wife, like, apparently he owns a farm with his wife, and his wife is just talking about the minutiae of the farm. Every now and then it's one of the letters from his kids. He's got two. Crap, guys. He's got kids.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Both of them are sons. Fucking bad. Maybe we shouldn't have slashed the paint. He slashed the paint. I'm already committed. Keep going. What else is there? One of his sons is apparently going to the same arcane university he went to,
Starting point is 00:14:45 and the other one is looking to take up a farming trade. Okay. The eldest son, the one taking up the farming trade, has like a wife now. Some of the letters are about like, you know, can't wait for you to meet my wife. Oh, gee. Yada, yada.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Family man. Cool, cool. I mean, racist. So he's pretty much Malfoy Like racist But family man Anything else of interest Down the bottom when you get to the bottom
Starting point is 00:15:12 There's a dagger Take it Oh and a book Sorry there would be a book yeah his spell book Take that too It's got a lock on it You have thief tools. You're fine. Pick that lock.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Sam, you should have checked for traps. Okay, you pick the lock. Do you open the book? Check for traps. You detect no traps. Check again, Adam. Open the book. Zam, Zam.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You detect a trap. You detect several traps, actually. Most of which we've already activated. It's called detect a trap. You detect several traps, actually. Most of which we've already activated. It's called a fire trap. When you open the book, it'll explode with a fiery burst. If you don't say the right command word, you don't know what the command word is. There's no way to know.
Starting point is 00:15:56 You should give it to my card. Every single page has this trap. Every page you turn, it will explode in a burst of fire. All right, cool. Which is weird because the first one would just destroy the book anyway. Yeah, you'd think. Dumb. I guess then whenever you open it.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Let everyone know, look, it's trapped. So we'll keep a hold of this for a bit. Yeah. Cool. Gather everything, put it in the trunk. I've got an idea. Okay. Oh, just for your quick reference,
Starting point is 00:16:20 so you don't make a mistake during combat, if you try to do this to an enemy, it will hurt you as well. Yeah, but if I throw the book at them and they open it? Unlikely. What if I put it on the ground? Who the fuck just picks up and opens a book when it's thrown at them by someone fighting them? Well, Adam, we're going to a powerful wizard.
Starting point is 00:16:36 We could trade him and say we have this lovely book. He could look at it and boom. God, you better hope that kills him first. Go. I'll be funny. It'll be funny. It'll be good. It'll work.
Starting point is 00:16:47 It'll work, Atta. Cool. Keep the booby-trapped spellbook. Yep. Chuck that in the bag. Cool. I'm going to piff that chest off the side of the boat. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Mate, look. Hey, he's a dick, yeah. Yeah, but look, we've stolen his book. That's elves, bro. We've stolen his book. I've slashed his painting. We may as well hide evidence here. But if we just... We're already in.
Starting point is 00:17:12 We're already in. We're fucking elbow deep in this. Yeah. Throw it out the fucking window. What are you doing with... What do you keep? The spell book? Spell book?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Spell book and the... Where do you put it? Strap it to Jiggalump. Can we hide it somewhere in our cabin? In your cabin? Leo and... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why the fuck would you do that, you dumb bloody idiot?
Starting point is 00:17:38 How many cabins are there? There's maybe a total of... I'm going to say ten. And they're all occupied? Some of them are empty. Hey, no. No, none of them are, sorry. Because otherwise Grayson might not have been in your cabin.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Guys, got an idea. Yes. Anyone else a half-breed on the boat that isn't us? That's a question for you actually, Adam, so I shouldn't be looking at everyone else. I was going to frame someone else. Hey, we can frame whoever we like, guys. But it's going to be obvious.
Starting point is 00:18:07 But if we get it to another half-brit, it's like, well, you know, you're a racist. Hold the fucking phone. Yes. Can we tie it to a rope? Is that like a window for our cabin outside? Yeah. Can we tie a rope around the book and just hurl it out the window
Starting point is 00:18:21 and hook it on the back of the window so nobody sees when they come in the cabin? So just dangle it out the window? Yeah, just tie a rope around it, dangle it out the window and hook it on the back of the window so nobody sees when they come in the cabin? So just dangle it out the window? Yeah, just tie a rope around it, dangle it out the window. If someone looks over the side of the ship, if someone's chucking over the side of the ship, if Grayson is chucking over the side of the ship, very easily spotted.
Starting point is 00:18:38 That was a good plan, though, guys. It was a very good plan. I'm impressed. I reckon just try and hide it very well. Can you invisible objects or just yourself? Just myself holding the object. Be invisible forever. Well, it's only three weeks in. We've just got to hide this for a week.
Starting point is 00:18:51 You are so lucky I said that. That's true. Because when I first thought it, I'm like, they do a search of the ship, and I'm just going to spring this on them at the last minute. So there's a little, just know that I could have fucked you over with this but i decided to at least give you a fighting chance i reckon we kind of try and hide it a bit and that kind
Starting point is 00:19:12 of stuff okay uh maybe each day we'll hide it somewhere new and sneakily um where's the first place you hide it can i wait to a change of guard and I just want to be like can I be just like scoping out there you go I give my crowbar I say like invisible
Starting point is 00:19:35 invisible yourself down wait you can't if I hold on to him you can't absorb me as well what if I hide under his cloak? No. He'd see just you. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Go down. Get the crowbar. Go down. Try and find out. Do we have a little loot? You have your own container, yeah, where you. Actually, would you? What would you keep in it?
Starting point is 00:20:01 We don't have much, guys. We don't have much. We have some stuff. You don't have cart market all in the cart anymore we got backpacks you could just keep those in your room though that's fine here's the plan now
Starting point is 00:20:13 cause you're playing full of holes go invisible with the book go invisible down into the cargo hold I'll slip by find just someone's bag remember who's, Slip it in. That's true. And if they find it, that guy gets fucked up.
Starting point is 00:20:28 That guy gets fucked up. And if they don't find it, you know where it is. The handsome, innocent geniuses. Done. We do that, Adam. Adam, come on. I don't know how you could fuck this up, but if you do, I'll be impressed.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I will. I'm 95% sure we're all dead of cholera okay you slip past the guard without him noticing you just find like a random crate and put it in there I find a random crate but one that I'll recognize okay yeah you find like a distinctive looking crate
Starting point is 00:20:57 how do you open it? with the crowbar he gave me you gave it to him? yeah he did he said I'll give you the crowbar okay hey can you cut your car silent thing? oh man With the crowbar he gave me. You gave it to him? Yeah. Yeah, he did. He said, I'll give you the crowbar. Okay. Hey, can you cast Silent Thing? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Is that a spell I possess? Let's find out, listeners. You have Silent Portal, I think. Silent Portal. Silent Portal the crate. Doesn't count here, though. Damn. It's like for doors and windows and stuff. Yeah, it's a kind of door.
Starting point is 00:21:21 For chest lid. No, it's not. It's a crate. It's like, oh, I break through this wall, so it works there, right? No, it doesn't. Oh, well, look, open. Yeah, yes. Oh, hang on.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Is this a separate room to where the guard is? Like, is there a door between the guard and... No, it's all one big room down the bottom. God, this is nerve-wracking then. Ah, fuck it, I'll go. Why don't you just wedge it between a couple crates? Would you have thought of that yourself? Certainly not.
Starting point is 00:21:53 All right then. I was pretty committed to this. Guys, I think we're going to walk the plank. Oh my God. So with an almighty creaking and cracking sound You bust open One of the crates The guard
Starting point is 00:22:12 Does not notice Yes He's a deaf fuck Put the book in Shut the lid With my muscular arms How do you put the nails back on? Crowbar, just hammer the nails in.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Push them down. Just tap it. I thought so. Tap it. Hang on, hang on. Use the crowbar as a hammer. Tappy, tappy. No, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Tappy, tappy. Another listen check, though. I'm going to get you yet. Push them down. I guess I'll use the fucking crowbar. You put the book in, and you're scanning around to see if the guard noticed. The guard didn't notice, but on top... On top of one of the crows.
Starting point is 00:22:54 No! Oh, no! It is Jiggle Lump. And in his mouth, he is holding the little saucer of ale that the silver let out for him. The metal saucer. No, no, no, Jiggle Lump. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:23:14 What the fuck? Come on, come on, mate. It's your boy, Kripp. It's your boy, Kripp. Let's be... Hey, Kripp. Well, I mean, Jiggle Lump. It's been... Jigglelump leaps

Starting point is 00:23:41 Jigglelump drops it It clatters on the ground Invisible Give me the saucer. Come on. Jigglelump drops it. No. It clatters on the ground. Invisible. What's that? The guard says. Stay invisible.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Oh, no. They're just going to say the cat. Jigglelump lands on you. So Jigglelump's effectively floating. Can I not fight back? Jigglelump are just tearing into your back. You turn Hang on.
Starting point is 00:24:14 This is going to be especially funny if he kills me. Because I'm just going to be like, boing, into existence. Poof, onto the ground. One point of damage. The guard's searching through. Who's there? He'sof, onto the ground. One point of damage. The guard's searching through. Who's there? He's, like, scanning with the light.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Slowly walking toward the exit, enduring the pain. You take another point of damage. Can I make it back to our quarters? Jiggle Lump, like, is grappling on your leg and is, like, just scratching at your leg oh my god I would be in such pain there would be so much blood

Starting point is 00:25:16 Motherfucking chicken. The guard, you can see, is like checking the blood stains on the ground. Oh, my God. Another point of damage. Oh, God. How far away am I? You've taken like five steps.

Starting point is 00:27:54 Yeah, just one leg. I was in the middle, but I cut myself and so I decided to stop. No one is buying that. Well, look, okay, everyone, it's my cat, sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm involved. My guard tells me that no one got proper access down there. Were you down in the cargo hold? No.
Starting point is 00:28:19 No? Not at all. Did you see me? Just no one is buying your story. Guys, maybe I went down in the cargo hold. But just to, you know. Just because you heard the cat. Check it out.

Starting point is 00:30:59 De Silva does a very delicate and serious job of keeping, actually, all of you guys, separate from this elf for the rest of the voyage. Damn. He ensures that you're eating at different times. And you notice that they don't necessarily post a guard, but you notice that the crew spend a lot of time outside his room and outside your room.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Also, there's two guards at the cargo area now. Damn. Hey, that's fair enough. I guess we can't. Also, oh yeah, and another thing. The parties change from like two to three nights every night. And every single time, regardless of whether or not you guys
Starting point is 00:31:40 are into it, De Silva fucking finds you guys on the boat and drags you up to his party the entire night. He makes sure you stay. Jesus Christ. Okay. He doesn't necessarily get you really fucking drunk, but if you try to leave or something like that,
Starting point is 00:31:58 he passes you some chicken or something like that. Oh, okay. Do you like chicken? Good. I've been drunk for months. This is not healthy. De Silva's been drunk his entire life. Okay.
