[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons. [2.5s] And now you are staring down the army [6.1s] known as the Ax of Mirabar. [7.7s] I say we put our weapons down. [9.8s] We can't fight an army, right? [11.5s] You are shackled and they walk you [14.3s] towards the brig area, the jail area in this building. [18.4s] There is one dwarf who looks like he's pretty beaten up [24.0s] and looks like he is sleeping. [26.6s] Wakey wakey. [27.7s] I am Osric Battlehammer. [30.7s] I was a lieutenant in the Ax of Mirabar. [34.6s] Why are you in jail? [35.6s] There are some magic-y things going on [38.1s] and those guards down there, they aren't good anymore. [41.6s] And in walk, three more warriors [43.9s] from the Ax of Mirabar. [45.3s] And in unison, we are known as Tholonius Prinsby [51.8s] and there is a power that's been creeping over the land. [57.9s] And I plan on using you to figure out where it comes from. [61.7s] Y'all, we gotta get outta here. [63.6s] I'll go and Jimmy open that door. [66.5s] Once you pull off the helmet, [68.2s] you see his skin looks gray [71.8s] and light black veins that run over his face. [76.3s] Gross. [77.1s] Oh no, is there some necromancy shit going on here? [79.3s] Yeah, this doesn't sound good. [80.9s] Osric reaches down and unlocks the door [83.2s] and it appears that your weapons are in this room. [88.3s] Huzzah! [89.1s] We've solved the weapons puzzle. [90.7s] As Flint, you run through, [93.3s] there is a bright light that shines [95.7s] as you pass through this door. [97.7s] And Nubara and Thea, you see this light [100.8s] as you pass through the door as well. [102.5s] And you step out into a hall that doesn't look the same. [107.8s] Portal, sweet. [109.3s] I mean, not, it's definitely gonna be bad, but sweet. [112.2s] Thea, you open the door [114.1s] and in the center of this room, [115.8s] there is a statue of the deity Loth. [118.9s] As you step into the room, [121.3s] three zombies begin shambling out from behind this statue, [125.3s] groaning and making their way towards you. [130.7s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. [133.1s] I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More, [134.7s] and with me today is Yanni McGonerson, Amy More. [137.5s] Yeah. [139.8s] And Carla Johnson. [140.8s] Hey, I like the call out of Amy. [142.6s] No one would know, it's just audio. [145.1s] Tom and I didn't even know. [146.8s] No idea. [147.6s] Right? [148.5s] I'm in the middle of a yawn. [150.0s] Russ is like, here's my opportunity to see me first. [154.6s] Really gonna zinger this time. [156.6s] Yeah, and Tom Laird. [158.8s] Hello. [159.6s] How you guys doing? [160.6s] Good. [161.4s] Great. [162.3s] That's good. [163.1s] I'm gonna razz on you hard this time now [164.6s] because you just opened up just guns a blazing. [168.0s] Yeah, oh, absolutely. [168.8s] It's on like Donkey Kong. [171.4s] Remember the time before we were recording [173.9s] when you guys still lived in Canada [176.1s] and we were playing at your house [178.4s] and Amy had that amazing potion [182.4s] and you made her drop it. [185.2s] I remember that time. [186.0s] I don't remember this. [187.4s] Oh, right. [188.2s] Somebody wrote notes somewhere, there were swears. [190.6s] There was notes during Canada. [192.3s] You called her out for the yawn [193.7s] and I just thought, remember that time, [195.6s] like Russ is usually very nice to Amy, [198.0s] but that time was so mean, it was so mean. [203.3s] He's been making up for it ever since. [204.9s] We even had a bit of a relationship spat after. [208.0s] I'm like, why you gotta be such a dick? [210.0s] That was a really harsh move. [211.8s] Why would you do that to me? [213.9s] It's just a game. [214.8s] I'm like, is it? [215.9s] Is it just a game? [216.8s] It was a poor choice. [218.1s] Apparently, I was having a bad day [220.4s] and didn't want you guys [221.4s] to just waltz through my dungeon. [223.5s] It was very funny, but it wasn't really mean. [227.2s] But it was very funny. [228.6s] It's horribly mean. [229.9s] I'm sorry. [231.5s] I didn't mean to make you have to apologize again. [234.4s] Thank you. [235.5s] And now everyone will hear it. [239.0s] True. [240.2s] So you've got your map up there, [243.5s] but yeah, you're in a room. [246.2s] This whole dungeon is all very dimly lit with, [251.4s] you could describe it like kind of Thea's fairy fire-esque, [254.6s] which is like lit in like sconces on the wall, [258.3s] very sparsely apart. [259.6s] Is it lit in sconces? [261.0s] It's lit in sconces. [263.4s] All righty. [264.3s] I just want to be grammatically accurate. [267.5s] And in the room you're in now, [269.3s] there is a statue in the center of the room [272.8s] of a god named Loth. [275.4s] She is the spider god of the Underdark. [279.1s] Who is she? [279.9s] And what is she, goddess of what? [281.1s] Spiders and creepy crawlies? [283.2s] Of the Underdark. [284.9s] Of the Underworld, yeah. [287.4s] So like, Drow and stuff? [289.8s] You betcha. [291.2s] All right. [292.2s] Tom, you're such a nerd. [294.0s] That's right. [295.4s] I play video games. [297.8s] Tom's been reading the dungeon master's guide. [300.2s] Also, yes, I have the dungeon master guide [301.9s] and the monster manual at my disposal, so. [305.0s] Wonderful. [307.0s] But yeah, there's that statue in the middle [308.4s] with kind of like a fountain pool around it, [311.1s] and there are three zombies in this room [314.2s] shambling towards, [315.3s] and they're the shambling type of zombies, [317.2s] not the fast zombies. [319.1s] So let's roll for initiative. [320.5s] Not the 28 days later zombies. [323.0s] 17, my rolls are bitchin' right now, you guys. [325.9s] Did you add your modifier? [328.0s] 18, thanks, Tom. [330.0s] No problem, 15. [332.2s] 18, but that's with my modifier. [335.8s] I don't know if that matters. [337.8s] Between Amy and I, if we had the same thing, [339.6s] because my roll was actually lower. [341.2s] I just have a higher modifier. [343.4s] Well, you still tie, [344.2s] but rules dictate you guys decide who wants to go first. [348.9s] Carla, how about you go first? [350.0s] Okay, sure. [351.7s] We really did that as a team, didn't we? [353.6s] Yeah. [354.4s] Solid effort, yeah. [355.3s] All right, Nularaaaia, you're up first, then. [357.3s] Is where we is in this map accurate? [361.5s] Probably not. [362.3s] Looks like Donnie and I are like, [363.5s] see you later, idiots. [364.5s] We're just teasing out. [365.3s] He's trying to find a door. [366.6s] Let's get out of here. [368.6s] Well, you can move yourself to where you think you are. [371.8s] The size of the room is to scale there, [374.5s] so it should be like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 by 50. [379.4s] You guys should all be by the door running in at this point. [383.5s] You can move to where you feel you can. [386.0s] I grab the hilt of flame tongue, pull it out, [390.8s] yell muy caliente, run towards this zombie. [396.1s] My sword of flame looks really rad, [399.2s] and I try to chop the zombie's head off. [403.0s] Let's see how that goes. [405.2s] All right. [406.8s] I forget how modifiers work. [409.0s] Bear with me. [411.9s] Is that real? [414.4s] Is flame tongue that good? [416.9s] Oh yeah, your flame tongue's ridiculous. [418.7s] You've not fought in a while? [419.8s] I guess not. [422.6s] Because we didn't actually have our real weapons [424.3s] last time. [425.2s] We were like fighting using the, [426.8s] we were doing it Jackie Chan style [429.6s] with whatever we could find in the room. [431.4s] Yeah, if I remember correctly, [432.7s] your flame tongue is like a plus nine bonus [434.9s] or some shape. [435.7s] Yeah, yeah, it looks like it is a plus. [439.3s] Yeah, so that's a 19. [441.2s] 19 will do it, yeah. [442.7s] Sweet. [444.8s] Then that is 19 damage. [449.9s] So that zombie loses his head [452.8s] and falls to the ground there. [455.3s] Sweet. [456.3s] Nicely done. [457.1s] Donnie is going to fly over the statue [460.8s] as I'm worried this statue. [462.0s] Don't you have two actions? [464.0s] Oh yeah, I get to go again. [465.5s] Yeah, you've lost your movement, [467.5s] but I mean, if you can figure out [469.1s] something else to do, then yeah. [470.7s] Yeah, let's shoot a mofo and zombie. [474.7s] I think I have a bow. [476.2s] So I am going to turn [479.2s] and Donnie's gonna move out of my way. [482.0s] He's cool like that. [484.4s] And, oh, I can't move. [486.5s] No, you've moved 30 feet, so. [489.4s] I'm gonna turn around [490.4s] and I'm going to fire my arrow [494.8s] at the zombie that looks like it's topless. [498.3s] Sure, yeah. [500.8s] That is a 15. [503.8s] That zombie's somebody's daughter. [505.2s] 15 will hit, yeah. [506.3s] Great. [507.4s] That is a two damage. [510.2s] Two. [511.0s] Nice. [511.8s] Two damage. [512.7s] Okay. [513.5s] Okay, so then Donnie, I'm concerned about Donnie, [515.8s] no, I'm concerned about this statue [518.2s] coming to life or doing something else bad. [521.4s] I'm also a little worried about that. [524.1s] So I would like to try to provoke that [528.5s] rather than it coming as a surprise. [530.2s] Sure. [531.0s] So Donnie's gonna pee on that statue. [535.2s] Do you want me to roll to pee? [537.4s] What sort of check involves a roll to pee? [542.1s] The nervous bladder check, obviously. [544.3s] Yeah, solid. [545.8s] No, he can just go and he pees on that. [548.5s] Attack that with your golden stream, Donnie. [552.1s] Your mighty stream. [555.5s] He goes and pees on it [556.6s] and nothing seems to happen with the statue. [560.1s] Okay. [561.6s] Maybe the statue was into that. [563.1s] Oh man. [564.8s] Then we go to Thea. [567.0s] Well, I'm kind of like behind Flint here [570.2s] so I'm just gonna go, [573.1s] oh, I'm gonna go 10, 20, 30. [579.0s] That's not how distance works. [581.8s] Is it not? [583.0s] No. [583.8s] Okay, I'm just gonna go diagonal. [587.9s] I'm just gonna run to the other end of a 50 foot room. [590.4s] It'll be fine. [591.5s] I'm just gonna go diagonal [592.6s] just so I don't hit Flint. [593.7s] Sure. [596.3s] Because fire kills everything, we know this. [600.2s] I'm going to flaming sphere this mofo. [605.6s] So I conjure up a giant ball of fire [609.5s] and throw it at not topless zombie. [613.3s] So mod a zombie. [615.2s] Just when you conjure it, [617.5s] you conjure it in a specific place [619.2s] and then your next move, you can move it. [620.9s] So you can conjure it on a zombie. [622.9s] I conjure it on top of the zombie. [624.9s] I create this fireball around the zombie. [627.9s] Zombie just goes, just. [630.4s] So that's 3d6 fire damage. [633.0s] 11 damage. [635.2s] And now it's a topless zombie [638.8s] and they don't move very far. [641.2s] Shuffle slightly to the left. [643.8s] Slightly to the left. [645.0s] Start moving towards Nulara, [647.2s] but they don't quite make it. [649.8s] And then it's Flint's turn. [654.2s] All right. [655.7s] Don't worry, the monsters get bigger in this dungeon. [658.4s] Do they? [659.9s] But are they slow? [661.4s] Yeah, it looks like about 30 feet for me [663.6s] to make it over to topless zombie. [665.4s] Is it not? [666.4s] Yeah, you should be okay. [667.4s] Well, then I will high tail it over there [669.6s] so it can't get the drop on Nulara. [673.0s] And I will, as I'm running, [675.9s] bring that two-handed ax over my head [678.1s] and swing it on down. [680.0s] Oh, sure. [680.8s] You know, as one does. [682.0s] That is an 18. [683.3s] 18 will do it. [684.3s] Excellent. [687.4s] It's a one, so I get to reroll that. [689.2s] Woo-hoo! [690.9s] Six, and eight's 14, and four is 18. [694.6s] And that zombie is now dead. [697.6s] And you went for the head, I believe. [699.7s] I heard you say. [700.8s] Oh, I was swinging the ax down. [702.7s] So yeah, head's probably the most likely target. [705.3s] For sure. [706.2s] So yeah, you cleave the head of that zombie in two [710.1s] and it falls to the ground. [711.1s] In twain. [712.0s] Now it's zombie three's turn. [713.3s] You just wait until zombie three. [714.7s] Correction, though, [715.7s] because I have a second attack. [717.4s] I thought that was your second attack. [719.1s] Ah! [720.8s] But I can't really move very far, [722.1s] so it's gonna be a lame-ass hand ax, so. [724.9s] Come on, big money! [728.0s] That's actually a 21. [729.9s] That's not bad. [731.0s] 21 will do it, yep. [732.2s] And it's a 26, so two damage. [735.8s] That zombie's still living. [737.8s] Ah! [738.6s] Sorry, guys, I tried. And now it's his turn. [741.1s] And he's gonna move. [742.5s] Wait for it. [744.3s] Wait for it. [745.9s] Not quite far enough. [747.3s] Hold on. [752.4s] Oh no, he's back there. [753.6s] Not quite far enough. [755.4s] Balls. [756.2s] It was still very exciting. [757.8s] I stick my tongue out at him. [759.4s] Give him the finger. [760.4s] Nulara, your turn. [761.7s] I'm taunting zombie's hand. [762.9s] Oh, jeezers. [765.6s] Oh, I can move again, but not. [768.4s] I'll just arrow him. [770.1s] All my weapons that aren't my good weapon [772.3s] are the worst. [773.4s] Oh, I know, mine all suck, too. [776.0s] Note to self, just put a bunch of zombie's out of range. [780.5s] I'll just roll this one D6 damage. [783.1s] That'll get him. [785.8s] But I guess I will arrow him again. [791.0s] Sure. [792.5s] Not again, because I haven't arrowed that one before. [796.2s] That is probably not gonna do it, though, [799.2s] because that is a 12. [802.1s] 12 will do it, yep. [803.1s] Great. [804.7s] And that is one of those. [807.3s] Oh, that is eight damage. [809.4s] That was the best roll I could get, [810.8s] so it was very exciting. [812.0s] That is exciting. [813.3s] You did a fine job. [816.6s] That is a 20, but only one damage this time. [822.8s] Only one. [823.7s] Rossella's so impressed. [825.0s] Totally. [825.9s] Well, one damage is enough to kill that zombie. [828.0s] Oh, yay! [828.8s] How'd you kill the zombie? [829.9s] How'd you kill that zombie? [830.9s] The first arrow went right into its eye. [835.4s] And that was pretty demoralizing, [837.2s] as well as painful and almost death-causing. [841.3s] My second arrow, I was aiming for the other eye. [845.5s] I was kind of showboating after that first amazing shot. [849.4s] I missed, but it did hit his jugular. [853.2s] Just started bleeding out his non-pumping zombie blood. [858.3s] Then he died, and it was very sad, [860.8s] except that it wasn't. [862.1s] I imagined him falling forward, [864.1s] and then the one that you got in his eye [866.6s] actually ended up ramming right into his brain. [868.9s] Oh! [869.7s] Yep, I like that. [871.7s] That happened. [872.6s] Yep, that's how it happened. [873.4s] And in that end, that's what happened. [874.2s] That happened. [875.7s] Amy wins the gruesome kill for the week. [880.0s] All right, well you guys have defeated my zombie puzzle. [884.1s] In this room is not much other than what you see there. [888.6s] You've got the three dead zombies, [890.2s] the statue of Loth, [891.9s] and the fountain that surrounds the statue. [895.6s] And then the door you came in, [898.2s] which you have already deactivated the trap on that one, [902.7s] and one other door to the south in the room there. [906.3s] Well, let's go investigate this other door carefully, [909.6s] since we know the other one was trapped. [911.4s] Can I go, I've moved over there, [913.7s] and I'm gonna do an investigation check. [917.1s] I rolled a one, so. [921.0s] Solid. [921.8s] This is a door, you guys. [922.7s] I basically just like trip and fall near the door. [926.9s] It is a stuck iron door, it is. [930.4s] Can I detect magic? [932.3s] While they're investigating, [933.6s] can I detect magic on the water [936.4s] that is surrounding the, okay, I do that. [940.2s] So you look at the fountain, [942.2s] and as you are trying to detect magic, [945.5s] a mirror-esque portal shows up. [950.7s] And in the portal, [952.4s] you see the face of an ebony-skinned, [955.9s] white-haired drow, a dark elf. [959.2s] Okay. [960.6s] I should know that. [961.4s] I'm an elf. [963.9s] She just mouthed, what's that? [967.4s] Awesome. [968.2s] And he looks at you. [970.8s] He's dressed kind of in like wizard's robes. [974.1s] They're very fancy robes. [975.6s] And he looks at you, and he says, [978.8s] you adventurers have had quite the journey, haven't you? [983.2s] Where is it you arrived here from? [986.1s] Oh my gosh. [987.2s] We're in a Monty Python skit. [989.9s] Quick, someone else answer, [990.9s] otherwise I'm gonna get catapulted. [992.6s] Not gonna be good. [993.8s] African or European? [996.7s] Are we compelled to answer this person? [999.1s] No, he's just having a conversation with you. [1001.8s] Why? [1002.7s] I don't like the look of him. [1004.1s] Yeah, why do you wanna know? [1004.9s] He says, you are the three who I need [1009.4s] in order to get the power [1011.6s] that has been sweeping across Faerun. [1015.0s] Oh, this fucking guy. [1016.5s] That was a game, right? [1022.4s] Oh yeah, 100%. [1024.0s] Sorry, this fucking guy. [1025.6s] And I must need to know how to get [1027.6s] to where you came from [1029.5s] and what it is that happens there. [1031.6s] And what makes you think we're going to tell you? [1035.2s] Well, you're never going to get out of the dungeon [1037.6s] without telling me. [1039.4s] I've heard that one before. [1041.4s] As I said, you will remain in this dungeon [1043.6s] until I get the answers from you that I require. [1047.0s] I pick up a stone from across the room [1049.4s] and throw it into the pool of water, [1051.3s] thus creating a ripple effect. [1053.5s] The portal is very ripply now. [1055.8s] Your face looks stupid now. [1059.5s] You're free to carry on. [1061.2s] If you wish to get out and tell me what it is you know, [1065.3s] I will open the door and you will be free. [1067.7s] And why would we believe you at all? [1071.0s] You just have to go on good faith. [1073.4s] But know that the entire army of Mirabar [1078.0s] is marching back towards Mirabar. [1081.1s] And when they arrive here, [1083.2s] they will all become under my control. [1085.7s] So what do you need us for? [1086.8s] You seem to have a lot of power as it is. [1089.6s] I need to know where to get the train. [1095.2s] The what now? [1096.9s] We took a train at some point, remember? [1098.8s] And we don't remember taking the train. [1100.9s] You guys fucking never remember the train. [1102.6s] No, and every time it comes up, [1104.2s] we're all like, train, what? [1107.0s] That was in like our one-shotter, right? [1109.2s] And how you got to water deep [1111.4s] at the beginning of this art. [1112.9s] Yeah, but we weren't recording it, [1114.2s] so did it really happen? [1115.0s] You did record it. [1116.1s] Oh, really? [1117.2s] That was gonna be my excuse too. [1119.1s] Shut the front door. [1120.6s] I'm gonna go back and have to listen to episode two. [1123.8s] Well, joke's on you [1124.8s] because we have short-term memory loss [1127.1s] and can't even remember being on that train. [1129.3s] So looks like you should probably just let us go. [1133.8s] Sucks to suck. [1135.0s] We don't have any info for you. [1136.9s] As you wish. [1138.3s] And the portal disappears. [1139.5s] That guy, right guys? [1141.3s] That guy. [1142.4s] That guy. [1143.2s] Fucking that guy. [1144.4s] Fucking that guy. [1145.4s] Hate that guy. [1147.0s] What'd you figure out about this door, Nulara? [1150.3s] It's a door. [1152.0s] You guys wanna take a look or? [1153.6s] Pretty sure she just tripped into it. [1155.1s] Yeah, I basically, [1156.3s] I looked at the ground kind of right in front of it [1158.8s] and we're basically in a dungeon and this is a door. [1164.2s] You guys wanna take a look? [1165.6s] Yeah, no, I'll make a, [1168.6s] what is it, an investigation check? [1171.0s] Would a perception check do me just as well? [1173.3s] I've got plus eight on that, [1175.3s] so good thing. [1177.2s] 17. [1178.0s] You don't, you don't see anything wrong with the door. [1181.4s] No, detect magic is still going on. [1183.6s] Am I, do I feel like there's anything? [1186.0s] No? [1186.8s] There doesn't appear to be any magic on this door. [1188.9s] Have we tried opening the door, you guys? [1190.7s] Nope, haven't tried yet. [1192.7s] We were worried about a trap. [1194.0s] Nope, not yet. [1194.8s] I try to open the door. [1196.1s] It is locked. [1197.2s] I use my thieves tools to unlock them. [1203.2s] 12. [1204.2s] The door unlocks and opens into another [1208.1s] poorly lit hallway. [1210.1s] You look out into the hall and it appears empty. [1213.1s] Thea doesn't wanna go first. [1214.4s] Thea only has 21 hit points left. [1216.7s] Thea needs to look out for number one. [1217.5s] Oh, yeah, that's fair. [1218.9s] I'll go first. [1220.1s] You're so brave, New Mara. [1221.8s] You turn left out of the fountain room [1224.0s] that you were just in [1225.0s] and begin to walk down a long, narrow path. [1229.4s] It's dark and dank [1232.0s] and smells of rot and decay. [1236.0s] Quickly, though, you come to a choice. [1239.0s] You can turn left or you can continue straight ahead. [1242.9s] Like, my inclination is straight [1245.8s] because that seems like it must be kind of the perimeter [1249.7s] or like closer to the perimeter than heading internal. [1253.6s] Like, I feel like... [1255.5s] Like you don't wanna go to the belly of the beast. [1257.4s] Yeah, but if we're underground, [1259.6s] maybe we wanna be in the belly of the beast [1262.3s] because that's where the exits will actually be. [1264.4s] Are we legit in a dungeon? [1266.0s] Like, are we underground? [1267.8s] Or are we just, I can't remember from last time. [1269.9s] Are we on like the main floor of the jail building? [1272.1s] We got like transported somewhere. [1274.3s] Yeah, you were teleported somewhere else. [1278.4s] So you are unsure and there are no windows [1281.3s] to tell you if you are a bucket bloke. [1283.4s] Oh, right. [1284.2s] So what do you guys think? [1285.5s] Like, my inclination is perimeter, [1287.6s] but I'm cool to go interior as well. [1290.6s] Wherever we go, we're gonna have to fight some shit, so. [1292.8s] No, perimeter's cool. [1293.8s] Let's go forward. [1294.8s] Let's just keep, okay? [1295.7s] Charge along. [1297.1s] I'm gonna keep moving my person [1298.4s] because it makes me feel like I'm playing a game. [1300.7s] Like, you know, like Monopoly or something. [1303.0s] That's fun. [1304.0s] Your party continues straight, [1305.9s] hopefully sticking to the perimeter of the dungeon. [1309.4s] You're uncertain how much time is actually passing [1313.2s] as you walk through these winding corridors. [1315.6s] But after some time, you come to another intersection [1319.9s] where you can turn left again [1322.6s] or continue into a seemingly dead end. [1326.7s] Left it is. [1327.9s] Weird and suspicious. [1329.5s] Do we wanna go like make sure there's nothing? [1332.0s] Why would it dead end? [1333.3s] Go check it out, Nulara. [1334.8s] Going to. [1336.1s] I go down there and I do an investigation check. [1341.0s] I forgot that I could add bonuses to that. [1343.5s] Last time I rolled a one, [1344.7s] so it didn't matter. [1346.1s] Now I'm gonna do a perception check, [1348.1s] which was a nat 20 plus six. [1351.7s] So I hope it's something great. [1354.0s] It's a dead end. [1354.8s] It is just a dead end. [1357.0s] You wasted the best roll. [1358.2s] It's a bare stone wall. [1359.8s] You go down that little corridor [1363.2s] and you see there is a writing in blood on the wall. [1368.2s] What languages do you speak? [1370.0s] So many. [1371.4s] Let me find it. [1372.3s] Pretty much all of them. [1373.1s] I would say the chamber of secrets is open. [1376.6s] Mudbloods beware. [1378.6s] In the castle of ah. [1382.0s] I speak common goblin, orcish, giant draconic. [1388.0s] My girl Thea speaks some others as well. [1391.3s] It looks to be elvish writing. [1394.6s] I could go over there. [1395.8s] It merely says praise Loth, the spider queen. [1399.9s] And that's all you see. [1400.7s] And that's all I can see? [1402.1s] In that little dead end hall, yep. [1405.8s] I don't know, my dudes. [1406.9s] That was like the best roll I could possibly have. [1409.3s] So I guess there's nothing there. [1412.1s] You backtrack out of this dead end area [1415.0s] and you take the left turn to carry out into the maze. [1419.0s] It doesn't seem to take very long [1421.4s] till you are offered another choice [1423.2s] of two separate left turns deeper into the maze. [1426.2s] But as you reach this end of this hallway [1428.9s] in the corner, you start to see shapes take form [1433.9s] and you see withered corpses [1436.3s] which are nailed to the corridor walls. [1439.0s] Gross. [1439.8s] Do you see what kind of like race or? [1443.3s] They appear to be human. [1446.0s] Gross. [1446.9s] So this seems like a lovely place. [1448.9s] Can I do a perception check? [1450.1s] I got 20. [1452.6s] They appear to be withered corpses. [1456.5s] Nailed to the corridor walls. [1459.5s] Looking for more than Russ is willing to give here. [1461.3s] So wait, are our perception checks [1463.2s] just gonna be Russ repeating the same thing but slower? [1466.1s] It might be. [1467.1s] Don't talk to me like that, you stupid. [1468.9s] There are two halls to your left. [1470.8s] There's the first one [1472.0s] that does not have withered corpses in front of it [1474.2s] and there is one that does have withered corpses [1476.5s] in front of it. [1477.3s] Part of me is like, [1478.2s] let's go down the withered corpse one [1479.8s] cause I kinda wanna see what's happening over here. [1481.7s] I feel like it's probably a better idea [1484.8s] to go where the corpses are [1486.4s] even though it's super gross [1489.1s] because it seems like they're trying [1491.2s] to keep us out of there more. [1492.9s] I agree. [1493.7s] All right. [1494.6s] Flint, you've been awfully quiet. [1496.2s] I said sure. [1497.9s] You take the second left down this hall [1500.3s] and you file past these corpses. [1503.2s] Cautiously. [1504.6s] Cautiously, of course. [1506.4s] I don't mind making corpses [1507.9s] but I don't wanna touch other people's corpses. [1511.4s] You make it past them and nothing appears to happen [1515.5s] as you go past them. [1516.6s] You continue walking down this hallway [1518.4s] and it takes you through a winding path. [1520.7s] You come to another intersection. [1523.4s] So they're straight ahead of you. [1525.4s] Appears to be a dead end. [1528.4s] And to your left, [1530.7s] it also appears to be a dead end. [1534.7s] Okay. [1536.1s] The one straight ahead is closer [1537.6s] so I'm gonna walk up there [1538.8s] and do a perception check [1542.8s] which was a 15. [1544.7s] You see on the left wall there, [1548.4s] you see a false stone wall [1551.3s] that if you prod at a little bit, [1553.7s] it pulls out and towards the corner [1557.0s] and it reveals an unlocked wooden door. [1561.6s] Good catch. [1563.1s] I kinda can't believe he just was like, [1565.7s] just pry it away and there's the door. [1569.3s] Too good to be true or too good to pass up. [1572.6s] What do you guys think? [1573.6s] Too good to pass up. [1575.0s] Okay. [1575.8s] So it opens into a room [1578.9s] and you step down from the door [1583.0s] which is raised a little bit on a small stone ledge [1587.0s] and in the room, [1588.7s] there is a mosaic of legendary monsters on the wall [1594.4s] and someone has scrawled a large X on the west wall [1598.5s] and a buzzing noise can be heard [1602.0s] in the west side of the room. [1603.8s] I turn toward the buzzing noise. [1606.5s] What is that? [1607.4s] Do you guys hear that? [1608.3s] I think my tinnitus is acting up. [1610.0s] Ha ha ha ha. [1616.1s] I forgot all of under tinnitus. [1621.8s] Well, are we having like a group tinnitus? [1625.5s] Oh, you guys hear that too then. [1627.2s] It's not just me this time. [1628.6s] No, I hear it too. [1629.8s] Where's that coming from? [1631.3s] You wanna make perception or investigation checks [1634.6s] as you go through the room? [1636.1s] Sure do. [1637.0s] Well, that doesn't get me much. [1637.8s] 15. [1638.6s] 21. [1639.4s] Boom. [1640.3s] 13. [1641.1s] You begin looking through the room [1642.5s] and as you begin to walk near the X, [1645.4s] the buzzing noise becomes very loud [1648.3s] and as you kind of look through these, [1651.5s] this mosaic of monsters, [1654.1s] it appears that they are actually protruding from the wall. [1659.2s] Flint, as you are looking over this mosaic [1663.2s] and you see that it's actually coming out of the wall, [1667.1s] you are swiped at [1670.9s] by a dragon-esque looking statue [1675.6s] and it and three others come to life [1679.0s] and are all climbing out of this wall. [1683.9s] They appear to be stone gargoyle type dragon creatures. [1689.1s] Bring it. [1689.9s] Let's roll for initiative. [1692.8s] There's four total. [1694.7s] Four total. [1697.3s] I got five. [1698.5s] Solid, 16. [1699.4s] 16. [1700.8s] Oh, roll off. [1704.9s] Seven. [1706.4s] Six. [1707.2s] Flint, you are up first. [1708.8s] Are they all surrounding me? [1710.4s] What's the deal here? [1711.4s] They are presently climbing from the wall [1713.6s] so they're all coming towards you. [1714.9s] I see me with back up. [1716.7s] Like, ugh. [1717.8s] Okay, yeah. [1718.8s] They haven't got out of the wall yet then. [1720.6s] Yeah. [1721.5s] Yeah, I will grab my axe [1723.4s] and go take a swing at the first one [1726.1s] that I come across that's climbing out of the wall. [1727.9s] So I guess the one on the right, [1732.1s] that is a 17. [1733.9s] 17 will hit. [1736.6s] Excellent. [1738.0s] That is a nine and another nine. [1741.2s] So that's 18 and four is 22 damage in my first attack. [1745.2s] Ooh, nice one. [1746.5s] 11 of that damage. [1748.1s] Bullshit. [1749.6s] Well then. [1750.5s] All right, well I will step up for a second attack [1754.3s] at that very same dragon that I just attacked. [1757.1s] For sure. [1759.9s] So that is a 25. [1761.8s] Yep. [1764.2s] Nine again. [1765.2s] This is okay, two nines again. [1767.9s] This is very weird. [1769.4s] So that's another 22 damage. [1771.8s] And it will take 11 of that. [1774.2s] Honest question here. [1775.2s] Should I go to the casino [1776.4s] because I just rolled four nines in a row? [1779.3s] I think that's a good next stop. [1780.6s] Yeah. [1781.5s] Okay, perfect. [1782.3s] You might've used it up. [1784.8s] Ooh, all right. [1785.6s] Well, we'll see how the rest of the encounter goes. [1789.7s] And that's the room where Flint died. [1793.8s] Definitely going to the casino if that happens. [1795.9s] Yeah. [1797.4s] And then it's Thea's turn. [1799.1s] Now hitting them, they obviously have an advantage [1801.8s] because they're made of stone. [1804.5s] So I wonder if I can just do thunder wave. [1810.4s] Let me just make sure [1811.3s] that's not going to devastate everybody. [1813.6s] I run forward. [1815.8s] Sure. [1816.6s] Now who is within a 15 foot radius of me? [1819.2s] Flint. [1821.1s] And. [1822.1s] I can take it, don't worry about it. [1823.5s] The three gargoyles that you're presently [1825.3s] in the center of. [1826.6s] You want to take it? [1827.8s] Sure. [1828.7s] It's 3d8 damage. [1829.8s] Yeah, I'm good, don't worry about it. [1831.2s] Okay, because that means I can hit all three of those. [1834.0s] So a wave of thunderous force sweeps out from me. [1839.6s] Each creature in a 15 foot cube originating from me [1843.2s] must make a constitution saving throw. [1845.9s] Oh, constitution's the best one. [1848.5s] Good. [1850.5s] So 23 on my save. [1852.2s] Ooh, nice, you take half damage. [1855.4s] The one to your right rolls a 20. [1858.5s] One in front of you rolls a 20. [1861.3s] And the one to your left rolls a 19. [1864.2s] Okay, so they all save so they get half damage. [1866.8s] And what type of damage is it? [1868.1s] This is thunder damage. [1870.6s] You guys get to take three damage each. [1874.9s] Yay, that wasn't worth it. [1877.0s] Did you roll a one on every roll? [1879.2s] You get to also take half that damage? [1882.0s] Nope. [1882.8s] No, I rolled really shitty rolls. [1884.6s] The gargoyle on the end's turn. [1887.2s] So he's on the far left of the room [1889.4s] and it runs towards the X on the wall [1895.0s] and begins throwing itself at the wall. [1899.7s] I have a feeling like that's an exit. [1906.6s] Thanks for that. [1907.7s] I liked it. [1908.5s] And hits it twice. [1911.4s] I have a feeling like we shouldn't let them out. [1913.5s] That wall begins to crack and crumble [1918.2s] and the buzzing inside gets louder. [1922.1s] Oh, nevermind. [1922.9s] He's trying to unleash the bees. [1924.6s] Now, Thea, the gargoyle to your left. [1927.4s] Yeah, I put myself in a really bad position [1928.9s] for not much payout right now. [1930.6s] Goes to bite and claw at you. [1933.3s] And misses completely with all those dice [1935.4s] that you're rolling. [1936.2s] The bite is a 10. [1938.2s] That one's gonna miss. [1939.6s] And the claw is a four. [1942.2s] No, eight. [1943.3s] That also misses. [1944.3s] Also misses. [1945.4s] So you're very elusive [1946.9s] in the middle of all these gargoyles. [1948.4s] I am. [1949.3s] And Laura, it's your turn. [1950.8s] I'm doing matrix style stuff to get away from them. [1952.9s] I wish I had some amazing spell to use [1955.2s] to try to stop the wall, [1956.2s] but I just looked and I got nothing. [1958.2s] So it's just gonna have to be brute force [1962.0s] on this dude that looks like a bearskin rug. [1965.4s] That's a bearskin rug looking dude. [1969.2s] Oh, nat 20. [1971.3s] Ooh, yay. [1972.8s] Boom. [1974.0s] And you're swinging with your sword, yes? [1975.7s] Yes. [1977.4s] With her on fire sword. [1979.5s] Yes. It's true. [1981.0s] Yeah. [1981.9s] So it is like slicing damage, [1984.8s] whatever a sword normally is, [1986.0s] and flame damage. [1987.7s] I don't know if that's gonna matter to you, [1989.2s] but I roll those separately. [1990.9s] Does it matter to you? [1992.3s] Yeah, cause he's gonna take full damage [1995.1s] off your fire magic damage, [1997.6s] but only half on your sword damage. [2001.0s] Okay. [2001.8s] And because I got a 20, [2002.8s] does that mean I roll twice? [2005.0s] Everything doubles. [2006.0s] So sword damage first is a six and a 10. [2010.2s] So 16. [2011.6s] So he gets eight and then two D six. [2015.9s] So it'll be four D six. [2017.4s] So 13 fire damage. [2020.1s] Okay. [2021.3s] Second attack, same thing. [2023.2s] I'm gonna roll a 20 again. [2024.4s] Get ready for it. [2025.6s] It's gonna be eight. [2026.5s] I'm ready. [2027.4s] I didn't, but it's an 18. [2029.8s] 18 will still hit. [2031.0s] Okay. [2031.8s] So that is a one with the sword damage, [2036.7s] which I guess rounds to zero. [2039.0s] You remember, I think you have to round up for that. [2041.6s] I would assume in that case, [2043.0s] you would still be one damage. [2046.1s] Great. [2046.9s] And then a 10 fire. [2049.2s] It's 11 damage. [2050.8s] Nicely done. [2052.1s] Donnie, I guess we'll try to like sting him, [2058.9s] but that's piercing damage. [2060.5s] So probably won't work. [2062.1s] And it certainly won't work with that six. [2064.6s] Okay. [2065.4s] And now it is the gargoyle in front of you there, Thea. [2071.5s] Strikes out. [2073.2s] You know, there was a point when I told you, [2074.7s] you should probably hang back. [2075.5s] I know, but this spell, [2077.1s] I need it to be closer to them. [2079.7s] And I didn't think that fire would damage the stone. [2082.6s] But now that I know that Nulara's flame hurt them, [2086.6s] I will make better choices in the future. [2088.9s] Bite is a 15. [2091.2s] Bite doesn't work. [2092.4s] What's your AC? [2093.8s] None of your goddamn business. [2095.3s] I got new, oh. [2098.7s] You didn't get your new armor yet. [2100.4s] No, we haven't gone to pick it up yet. [2105.8s] Okay. [2106.9s] And the claw is a 15. [2108.5s] Well, then I guess I get bite it and clawed it. [2110.8s] So that is nine damage. [2113.7s] And then it's the fourth one. [2115.4s] And he's going to go for flint [2116.6s] because he feels bad for Thea, obviously. [2119.0s] Dude, guys, I'm down to 12. [2121.3s] Dude, guys. [2122.2s] And you can do a bonus action [2123.6s] and take a healing thing, right? [2125.3s] Oh yeah, we totally have those bonus healing actions. [2128.5s] I will, I will do that. [2130.8s] Flint, the one right in front of you there [2133.9s] is going to bite and claw at you. [2135.4s] And the bite is a 22. [2137.6s] Well, that hits. [2138.4s] The claw is only a six. [2140.3s] Is he bad? [2141.2s] Yeah, suck it, claw. [2142.1s] So you're gonna take five bite piercing damage. [2146.1s] Okay. [2146.9s] And it's back to you, Flint. [2148.5s] How's this gargoyle dragon thing looking? [2151.7s] Can I tell if it's hurt or not? [2153.1s] It's a little crumbly around the edges. [2156.0s] All right. [2157.3s] Well, in that case, [2158.3s] I'm going to run over to the other one [2161.7s] that's attacking the wall [2164.5s] and try and beat it up a little bit. [2167.4s] Damn it, three of them are at me now. [2170.0s] It's all right, I'm still close to the other one. [2171.9s] So that is an 18. [2176.3s] That should be all right. [2177.3s] Yep. [2178.4s] So that's 14 damage on that attack. [2180.7s] So I guess seven. [2181.9s] And how's this dragon-y thing looking? [2184.0s] He's looking less good than all the other ones. [2188.7s] Ooh, critical on a 19, excellent. [2192.6s] Means extra rolls for this guy. [2195.3s] So that's 33 points worth of damage [2197.6s] plus four and eight for my bonuses. [2200.1s] So 41, so 20 damage. [2203.7s] Dead one. [2204.5s] Criticals are nice. [2206.0s] Is he still standing? [2207.1s] He is still standing. [2209.3s] Okay, I'm going to take my action surge [2210.5s] and attack him again. [2211.6s] Sure. [2214.0s] And I just rolled another critical, [2215.6s] but this time on a 20. [2217.1s] Nice. [2218.2s] Guys, I seriously need to go buy a lottery ticket [2220.3s] or something. [2223.1s] All right, pause the podcast. [2224.6s] I'll be back shortly. [2226.0s] We can deal with it. [2226.9s] I don't think I'm in time for the lotto max draw, [2229.0s] though. [2230.4s] And six is 32 plus eight is 40, [2234.0s] so 20 damage again. [2235.4s] Yeah, so that gargoyle crumbles [2238.8s] in a pile of dust to the ground. [2242.8s] Oh, I missed it. [2243.6s] Oh, God. [2244.4s] Yeah, he killed the gargoyle beating on the wall. [2248.4s] Good for you, Flint. [2249.2s] I wiped a bum. [2253.2s] Hey, we both had victories, too. [2254.8s] That's all that matters. [2256.2s] Thea, it's your turn. [2257.3s] Oh, good. [2258.1s] Okay, I'm going to choose something with a higher. [2260.5s] Also, feel free to run away from them. [2263.1s] Oh, yes, I do plan on running away. [2266.1s] Can I do my hit dice? [2269.8s] You can stack it in any order you want to. [2271.6s] Okay, well, I'm going to do that, [2272.9s] just because I will forget at the end. [2275.0s] You may roll one hit die. [2276.5s] I will. [2277.6s] D8? [2278.8s] I hope that's what it says. [2279.9s] I'm predicting a two. [2282.4s] It's one more than you had before. [2283.8s] Solid. [2284.8s] Okay, so I will back the truck up here. [2288.9s] I can go 15. [2290.0s] How many? [2290.9s] 30. [2292.8s] 10, 20. [2295.3s] I'm just going to go right behind Donnie. [2296.7s] Or on top of him, as it were. [2301.5s] Yes, okay. [2303.4s] Moonbeam, I'm going to use on my third spell slot. [2308.4s] So it's 3D10 Radiant Damage. [2310.9s] It's a five foot radius, a 40 foot high cylinder. [2315.0s] Okay, centered on what point? [2317.5s] I would like it centered on this guy. [2321.1s] The middle guy. [2322.0s] The middle gargoyle. [2322.8s] The middle gargoyle. [2323.7s] I'm going to center my moonbeam. [2325.2s] And a silvery beam of pale light shines down [2328.6s] and the creature engulfs in ghostly flames [2332.6s] that cause searing pain [2334.1s] and it must make a constitution saving throw. [2337.1s] 15. [2338.0s] It's not good. [2338.8s] Then give me some damage. [2339.6s] All right, 3D10. [2341.4s] Nice. [2342.2s] I'm going to roll all ones. [2346.1s] Nine. [2348.0s] Nine searing damage. [2351.4s] God damn it. [2352.7s] It is the gargoyle nearest you, Flint, [2358.3s] makes a move to run towards the X on the wall. [2362.5s] Geez. [2363.8s] And is going to ram itself at the wall. [2368.8s] Do they take any damage for ramming themselves at a wall? [2372.3s] You don't know. [2374.8s] Good question. [2375.6s] I certainly hope they don't. [2377.0s] Is enough to knock in the wall. [2382.8s] And as it punches through the wall, [2387.1s] the wall crumbles and out pour four 10 foot wide, [2391.3s] hairy, huge spiders, [2393.5s] nimbly moving into the room, [2395.2s] agitated by the sudden sight of you [2397.0s] and the chaos around you. [2398.7s] Four giant wasps, [2399.8s] about the size of halflings, [2401.2s] zip quickly past your heads, [2403.1s] getting a lay of the room. [2404.3s] Two narrowly missing Thea's moonbeam [2406.3s] as they spin, readying their attacks. [2409.0s] It's getting a bit crowded in here. [2412.9s] Well, hello, hello, hello. [2417.3s] It's me, your dungeon master, Russ More. [2419.2s] It's been forever. [2420.2s] No, it's only been a week. [2422.3s] It's great. [2423.1s] It's nice to see you so soon. [2425.1s] Thank you for listening to episode 14 [2427.2s] of Dumbgeons and Dragons, [2428.6s] this one titled The Undeadly Dungeon. [2431.6s] And we are down deep in the dungeon this week. [2434.3s] And it's a very exciting episode [2436.0s] because June 1st, all four of us [2438.3s] are going to be on episode 32 of Brozen Dragons, [2442.1s] another fantastic D&D podcast. [2444.0s] You've heard me talking about them for a little while now [2445.9s] and we finally arranged it [2447.1s] and got together with their guys and ours [2449.6s] for a great session. [2450.7s] And it turned out to be a super fun game [2452.6s] and it's going to be a excellent episode. [2454.9s] You just need to stay locked here [2455.9s] and then click over for episode 32, [2458.0s] comes out June 1st. [2459.3s] And if you like their style, [2460.3s] as you find out what happens next [2461.6s] with Flint, Thea, and Nulara, [2463.2s] give them a subscribe. [2464.0s] I think you're really gonna enjoy [2465.2s] what they're putting out there. [2466.1s] A little more cinematic in flavor [2468.5s] than what we've got going on over here, [2470.3s] but both equally fantastic.

[2552.6s] So you wanna make sure you check that out, [2553.7s] but also because they put on an amazing show, [2555.8s] lots of cool music, sound effects and great storytelling. [2558.4s] Doc and the team really put out a stellar podcast. [2561.5s] And don't worry, don't worry. [2562.8s] We will be back as scheduled here [2564.4s] on the DumbDragon and Dragons feed [2566.9s] on June 14th with episode 14. [2569.7s] Let's dive back into the dungeon. [2571.5s] We'll be chatting with you soon. [2573.0s] It is Nularaaa's turn. [2580.0s] Man, I sure wish I had some kind of dope thing. [2585.8s] I could do that didn't require me [2587.6s] to get all up close to them. [2589.6s] Okay, I'm just going to fucking sword some mofos. [2593.9s] So I am going to this spider right by where I am. [2599.3s] I'm gonna stab him. [2600.4s] I'm gonna try and separate his head from his thorax. [2604.9s] Yeah, good science term. [2607.0s] Very proud of you. [2608.2s] Thank you. [2609.3s] That is a 19. [2610.9s] 19 will hit. [2612.1s] Okay, that is a nine plus six is 15, 22 damage. [2620.4s] Unless I have to half some of that, [2622.0s] but probably I don't because it's a spider. [2623.9s] It's a spider. [2624.7s] It takes full damage and anything. [2628.6s] Your fire should be even more impressive. [2630.8s] 22 is enough to kill that spider. [2633.7s] Yeah, that's what I was hoping [2635.8s] that they're just big. [2636.6s] Head separated from thorax. [2639.3s] Okay, now I'm gonna turn. [2642.0s] Is this wasp just like hovering by me? [2644.3s] What's he doing? [2645.2s] Yeah, well, he's moving towards you, [2646.9s] but he's just in the vicinity at this point. [2649.6s] He's just getting the lay of the land right now. [2651.3s] He just came into the room. [2652.2s] He's like, what's going on, guys? [2653.3s] What's going on is he's about to get stabbed [2655.9s] with a flaming sword with 18. [2660.4s] Does that hit? [2661.2s] 18 will hit the wasp, yes. [2664.4s] Great, great. [2667.5s] Good, good roll. [2668.8s] Four plus five is nine damage to that wasp. [2672.6s] That wasp is still living. [2676.4s] Donny's gonna come try and bite him. [2678.6s] He got a 13. [2680.3s] 13 AC is enough to hit, yep. [2683.4s] Great. [2684.5s] Then he gives him three damage [2689.4s] and he has to do a constitution saving throw. [2693.8s] To not be paralyzed? [2694.8s] That's a four. [2696.4s] Great, paralyzed. [2698.8s] Donny, you did it. [2699.8s] It's never happened before, I don't think. [2702.0s] I think it's literally never happened. [2702.8s] I think it happened like one time. [2704.9s] It was like time number two. [2706.3s] Either way, it's hella impressive. [2709.0s] It's pretty good because Donny's real little. [2711.4s] He just like flew up to a wasp that's like, [2714.1s] I don't know, 10 times the size. [2716.0s] More than that, that's a terrible exaggeration. [2718.0s] 20 times the size of him, amazing. [2720.6s] Cool, cool. [2722.5s] Now it is the gargoyle's turn. [2724.9s] Oh, right, there's the gargoyle. [2725.8s] One centered on the moon beam [2728.8s] is going to go towards Flint. [2731.8s] He's running up behind you there, Flint, [2733.4s] and he's gonna bite and claw at ya. [2735.2s] So we got a, it's probably not gonna be good. [2737.4s] 17 on the bite, 15 on the claw. [2740.9s] Yeah, then the bite will hit me there. [2743.2s] Eight piercing damage. [2744.4s] The other one's gonna do the same thing. [2746.1s] Come up at ya up there, Flint, [2747.8s] and that's a 22 on the bite, 21 on the claw. [2752.0s] Unfortunately, I just got a 22 AC, [2754.5s] so I don't think either one of them did. [2756.1s] Did I hit you with a 17? [2757.2s] Yeah, really? [2761.0s] Yeah, but it just happened, like just right now. [2763.5s] We're in Dungeon and Dragons. [2764.8s] Anything can happen. [2765.7s] It's pretty impressive stuff. [2767.0s] I thought for sure he was being serious. [2771.0s] Me too, I know, which is so dumb, [2773.8s] because he, yeah, just got hit on his 17. [2776.4s] That's 13 damage there, Flint. [2778.5s] Pretty sure some sort of toughness thing [2781.0s] kicked in for me. [2781.9s] It was an adrenaline kick. [2783.4s] Surrounded by all these bugs and gargoyle. [2785.5s] Oh, yeah, there you go. [2787.4s] Nope, that's a lie. [2788.6s] Flint, it's your turn. [2789.7s] Nine, 13. [2790.5s] 13, I think you said? [2791.9s] I was just gonna blow right at that. [2793.3s] Yeah, I got it. [2794.2s] Okay, and now it is all these spiders and wasps' turn. [2797.9s] Hooray. [2798.8s] Spider nearest the top of the room [2800.8s] is coming at you, Flint. [2802.8s] Spider nearest you, Nularaaa, is coming at you, [2805.9s] and spider. [2806.7s] Flint, they are so all over you. [2808.8s] There's like three creatures on your team. [2810.2s] Spider nearest Thea is coming at Thea. [2812.0s] Bring it. [2813.4s] What do spiders get to do? [2815.0s] Probably fall over dead. [2816.5s] Whatever a spider can. [2817.8s] I think like go up and down a water spout [2819.8s] if my understanding is correct. [2821.3s] Yeah. [2822.1s] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. [2824.3s] So Flint, you are gonna get bit by the spider. [2828.2s] Maybe. [2829.5s] That is a 21. [2831.6s] So you will take one D8 plus three piercing damage. [2835.4s] You're gonna take six piercing damage, [2837.5s] and you must make a constitution saving throw. [2840.1s] Ooh, that's a good one, Kari. [2840.9s] Don't get paralyzed, Flint, come on. [2843.2s] That is a 24. [2845.0s] Okay, so you save, [2846.0s] but you still take two D8 poison damage halved. [2850.0s] Okay. [2850.8s] You're gonna take five poison damage. [2854.2s] Can you just get Amy to roll the damages [2856.9s] for the dice this time? [2858.0s] She's been rolling a lot of ones, so. [2860.5s] Yeah, it has been a day of one. [2863.2s] I mean, I think that's only fair for all of us. [2865.7s] I mean, that makes sense. [2866.7s] And then the one coming at you, Nularaaa, [2868.1s] is going to bite you as well. [2870.4s] Maybe. [2871.3s] Well, seven against your AC, I don't think that's. [2873.8s] That will not do it. [2874.9s] And then the last spider in the room [2878.4s] is going to shoot its web at you, Fia. [2880.8s] Oh my God, no it won't. [2882.3s] It's a nine, it's a nine. [2884.4s] So you're fine, it just kind of shoots its web [2887.4s] out into the ether. [2889.8s] And then the wasps. [2892.9s] Okay, so we got. [2893.8s] At least there's only three wasps. [2896.0s] Flint, the one that's coming at you [2897.9s] is going to be a 19 against your AC. [2900.6s] Yep. [2901.4s] And you are going to take one D six plus two piercing [2904.2s] for a sting, which is six, [2905.9s] and also make a constitution saving throw. [2907.8s] Oh my God, so many constitutions saved. [2910.0s] Whoa, nat 20. [2912.2s] All right, well you save against that, [2914.6s] but you still take half damage on three D six. [2917.8s] That's 11, so you take five more poison damage. [2921.3s] I think if you crit on a save, [2923.5s] you shouldn't take any damage. [2925.3s] You would think. [2926.8s] So the one at Fia, that's 22 against your AC. [2931.4s] That does it. [2932.2s] So roll a constitution. [2933.4s] But like just barely, right? [2935.2s] Yeah. [2936.0s] 14. [2937.0s] Okay, so you save, [2938.0s] but you're going to take three stinging, [2940.0s] piercing damage, three poison damage. [2944.9s] Guys, I'm down to seven hit points. [2947.0s] And then the final one at Nulara there, [2949.3s] that's a 16 against your AC. [2951.2s] Not a hit. [2952.0s] And that is back to Flint. [2953.6s] Flint murder sings. [2956.8s] All right, murder express coming right up. [2959.6s] Take a look at that spider that bit at me, [2963.0s] because he seems like a real dick. [2967.0s] See, I'm going to go for some sort of nice [2969.2s] like uppercut swing with my axe [2971.9s] to like get them right under the mouth. [2974.1s] I like it. [2976.2s] That is a 17. [2978.3s] 17. [2979.3s] Excellent. [2981.0s] 13 damage on that one. [2982.6s] Flint, you swing your axe up [2984.2s] and into the under jaw of this spider [2987.4s] and blood sprays up into the air, [2990.2s] but it appears to miss the important parts. [2993.3s] And I guess since he's still alive, [2995.0s] we'll go for round two. [2997.8s] So 23 on that one. [3001.6s] Eight. [3002.6s] And four is 12 and four is 16. [3005.4s] And on your rebound swing, [3006.6s] you come down into the body of this spider. [3009.4s] And with a sickening crunch, [3011.7s] this spider is dead. [3014.4s] Excellent. [3015.2s] And I'm going to use one of my [3017.8s] instant hit dice heals here, [3020.3s] because I think I might need it. [3023.4s] And six. [3024.2s] Ooh, that's nice. [3025.4s] Oh, wait, I rolled the wrong dice. [3027.2s] Hold on. [3028.0s] Hold on. [3028.8s] Going to do it again. [3029.7s] So you roll a D20? [3030.5s] No, I rolled a D8, [3031.6s] but I actually have a D10 for my hit dice. [3034.6s] And it was an eight. [3035.4s] That's even better. [3036.3s] You are having some pretty bitchin' rolls tonight, [3039.9s] my friend. [3040.7s] I'm solid rolls so far. [3043.0s] Yeah. [3043.8s] Holy man. [3044.7s] Thea, it's your turn. [3045.5s] Here's my question. [3046.5s] Can I drag my moonbeam? [3048.4s] Like when I, [3049.6s] so does it have to rest on a final destination? [3053.1s] It says anything that flies in its path [3055.9s] or gets caught in its path. [3057.6s] As you move it, [3058.4s] you just tell me, [3059.3s] you just plot the course [3062.8s] up to however far you can move it. [3064.6s] How far can I move it? [3065.7s] Moonbeam. [3067.3s] I like this moonbeam song. [3068.6s] No, it's a hit sweeping the nation. [3070.3s] Sounds like a David Bowie tune. [3071.8s] You can move the beam 60 feet in any direction. [3075.0s] Okay, so here's what I'm thinking. [3079.9s] I can go 10, 20, 30. [3083.3s] Yeah. [3084.7s] 40, 50, and get that guy. [3087.2s] Sure. [3088.0s] And hit three of them. [3090.2s] Okay, so who gets hit first? [3091.7s] Okay, this gargoyle motherfucker right here. [3095.5s] So you begin to move your moonbeam through the room [3098.3s] and the gargoyle constitution, [3100.9s] that's a 10. [3102.3s] Not good for the gargoyle. [3103.5s] So the gargoyle will take full damage. [3105.0s] We'll just do all the constitution rolls. [3106.5s] And then the second one is a 21. [3109.0s] That's safe. [3110.1s] So he only gets half. [3111.5s] Then the spider is 13. [3114.0s] Not good enough. [3114.8s] And the final wasp is an 11. [3118.6s] So only one gargoyle takes half. [3120.3s] Everybody else I think takes full. [3121.5s] Cool. [3122.4s] I get 3D10. [3125.2s] Make sure you keep track of your spell slots. [3127.0s] Yeah. [3128.0s] 15, damage. [3129.4s] Thea, you command your moonbeam [3131.3s] to carve its way through this room [3134.0s] through two of the gargoyles [3136.4s] over top of one of the spiders [3139.0s] and dropping a wasp dead to the floor. [3142.3s] All the while the gargoyles and the spider [3144.8s] and the wasp screaming out [3146.9s] as they take this moon driven radiant damage. [3150.0s] Nice. [3150.9s] There you go. I killed something you guys. [3152.2s] You know how long it's been? [3153.4s] That was kind of amazing. [3154.7s] I feel like with moonbeam, [3155.9s] you haven't done this before. [3157.8s] Like you've moved it just to like one other thing [3160.9s] instead of flying it around [3162.3s] and getting a whole bunch of things. [3163.6s] And it's dope as hell. [3165.2s] Yeah. [3166.0s] Amy, you should also take a healing surge. [3167.9s] Oh yes. Thank you very much. [3169.6s] Since your turn's not over yet. [3171.0s] No, it's not. [3173.9s] Four. [3175.1s] Yeah. [3176.0s] Then it is... [3177.8s] Who put all these monsters in here? [3179.9s] Some jackass. [3182.4s] Monsters are all last though. [3184.7s] No, the gargoyles go next. [3187.1s] So the gargoyle that broke open the wall [3189.6s] is going to go for Nularaaaa. [3192.9s] The bite Nularaaaa is a 13. [3195.8s] The claw is a 23. [3199.2s] So the 13 does not hit, but the 21 does obviously. [3201.7s] So you will take eight slashing damage. [3204.1s] Now Nularaaaa, it's your turn. [3206.0s] And presently engaged in direct combat with you [3210.0s] is the gargoyle who smashed in the wall [3212.6s] and released the wasps and spiders. [3215.4s] And as well, one of these spiders [3217.1s] is within striking distance. [3218.6s] Things look real bad for me right now. [3221.2s] Just position wise. [3222.8s] I will go for [3227.4s] the spider first. [3229.7s] It's a good choice. [3230.5s] Because his turn will come next [3232.7s] and he will be able to hurt me again [3234.6s] before I get another turn. [3236.1s] True. [3237.0s] So I'm going to do my patented [3240.2s] spider head removal technique. [3243.5s] Which I will probably fail at [3245.9s] because that is a 15. [3248.4s] That will hit. [3249.3s] Woo. [3250.1s] Oh, great. [3251.3s] These spiders don't have armor. [3252.6s] Wonderful. [3253.4s] It is really big. [3254.3s] I guess. [3256.5s] Math is hard with very small numbers is nine damage. [3261.1s] Your first strike swings down hard into the spider [3264.8s] and burns its way into its flesh, [3267.4s] but it's still living. [3268.6s] Okay. [3269.5s] So my sword got halfway through his neck. [3271.7s] I pull it out and try again. [3276.3s] That one's better. [3277.2s] That's a 22. [3279.9s] And that is 15 damage. [3282.6s] On your second swing, [3283.8s] you hit the same spot and cleave through the spider [3287.6s] and it falls dead to the ground. [3289.6s] Okay. [3290.5s] Donnie, he's my boy, [3292.8s] is going to try and bite the wasp [3296.6s] that is sort of behind me. [3298.6s] Sure. [3299.4s] But that is a seven. [3300.6s] So that probably will not do it. [3302.8s] That doesn't do it. [3303.6s] And now it is the gargoyles on Flint's turn. [3308.1s] Hooray. [3309.0s] Only one right in front of you there. [3312.1s] Flint is going to bite for a 13, 17 for the claw. [3317.2s] So 17 slashing for the claw. [3319.8s] It does not hit because I get a bonus [3322.1s] on my slashing resistance. [3323.7s] And then the other guy, [3325.3s] that's an eight for the bite, 13 for the claw. [3328.2s] Oh, sweet Jesus. [3329.1s] So you evaded that one, [3330.6s] but it is the spider's turn. [3333.0s] He's going to try to recharge his web, [3335.5s] which he does not do. [3337.0s] So he moves to get the 13 against Tracy. [3342.2s] If he gets me, he doesn't. [3343.1s] He does not. [3344.0s] Wasp's turn. [3345.4s] One wasp on Flint there. [3348.7s] Oh, that's a six. [3351.1s] Jeez, Amy, I said damage rolls, not attack rolls. [3354.4s] The wasp on Carla, however, gets a natural 20. [3358.2s] Oh, boy. [3359.0s] Yeesh. [3359.9s] Make a constitution saving throw there, new law. [3362.0s] Okay, that is 19. [3364.5s] 19 will save. [3366.0s] So you take four piercing damage [3368.1s] and then half of 3D6 acid. [3371.2s] Oh my God, his rolls are so good, you guys. [3373.3s] 14, so you take seven damage. [3375.8s] I rolled 3D6. [3377.0s] It would be like a four. [3378.2s] Okay, so that's wasp, wasp, spider, Flint. [3383.8s] Seems like a really weird playground game. [3386.4s] Totally. [3388.9s] All right, I'm going to turn around [3390.3s] and go for that wasp that's been haranguing me. [3393.9s] And I will attempt to cleave it in twain [3396.3s] because, well, it's a wasp and I have a really big ax. [3399.1s] Sure. [3400.3s] So whatever, that's a 15. [3402.5s] Hopefully that hits. [3403.4s] 15 will hit him, yep. [3405.0s] Excellent. [3406.7s] 25 damage on the wasp. [3409.1s] You take a full swing as this wasp is flying towards you [3412.8s] and you catch it square with the blade of your ax. [3416.1s] Thea Nularaaaa, you were watching from the side [3417.9s] as it looks like Flint misses, [3420.1s] but really his slice goes through [3422.2s] with just that much ease, [3423.8s] which becomes apparent when the two pieces [3426.3s] fall to the ground. [3427.5s] Success. [3429.8s] Now there's two gargoyles around me. [3431.7s] Which is the one that is hurt? [3433.0s] I think it's the one that's to my left [3436.0s] with the way I'm currently facing. [3437.2s] Both have taken damage. [3439.3s] The one behind you has taken more damage. [3442.2s] Okay, well I'll go for that one then [3444.3s] because why not try and hit him when he's down? [3449.0s] That is a 18. [3450.7s] 18 is good, yep. [3451.9s] Excellent. [3452.7s] All right. [3454.1s] Ooh, three and three is six and four is 10. [3458.3s] So five damage because he takes half. [3460.1s] And as if taking a full rotation, [3462.4s] you carry your second swing from the wasp [3465.2s] around and into the gargoyle behind you [3467.8s] who seems merely nicked by your blow. [3469.9s] And that's it for me. [3471.1s] Oh wait, should I use it? [3472.0s] Yeah, I should use another healing surge while I'm here. [3474.9s] Seven. [3475.8s] Okay, and Thea. [3476.6s] All right, I'm gonna back up [3478.5s] because I don't need to be anywhere near [3480.5s] when I'm doing my stuff. [3482.7s] I'm gonna take a hit die. [3485.3s] Nice, rolled a two. [3487.1s] Excellent. [3488.0s] It's real solid. [3489.0s] Every little bit counts. [3490.2s] And I'm going to move my moonbeam diagonally this way. [3495.2s] And I move it back through. [3496.6s] Yeah, back through the spider, the two gargoyles. [3499.8s] So that's like, how many feet is that? [3501.8s] 25 to get through all of them. [3504.2s] 25 and then 30 to get through all of them. [3507.0s] Can I make it back to this guy? [3508.6s] You wanna move through them twice? [3510.4s] Is that what you're saying? [3512.4s] Can I? [3513.7s] Suppose so. [3514.6s] You can move it up to 60 feet. [3516.4s] I'll move it back and forward [3517.9s] and just rain down on the ground. [3521.0s] The spider and the first gargoyle you come to, [3523.8s] you'd hit twice. [3524.7s] The second gargoyle, you'd only hit once. [3527.1s] It would stop there and then come back. [3529.3s] Okay, so I'd end up dealing out five bits of damage. [3533.9s] I'll do that. [3534.7s] I would like that. [3535.5s] I think that's how that would work. [3536.4s] Okay, Constitution saving throw for the spider. [3539.7s] This is a plus seven bonus, no good. [3542.2s] Gargoyle number one there, 18. [3545.5s] Ooh, yes. [3546.6s] Gargoyle two, 20. [3548.1s] Yes. [3549.2s] Gargoyle coming back, six. [3551.0s] Negative. [3552.5s] And a 20 for the spider. [3555.1s] Spider's gonna be dead anyway, it doesn't matter. [3558.5s] Okay, so roll your damage. [3560.1s] Okay. [3561.4s] 21. [3562.2s] Yay. [3563.0s] You did it. [3563.9s] I did it. [3564.7s] A lot of them only take half, though. [3566.7s] All three are dead. [3568.3s] Oh, whoa. [3569.1s] So you move this moon beam through this mass of monsters [3573.5s] and you incinerate the spider on when it comes back [3578.3s] and each of the gargoyles dry up [3580.9s] and crumble under the power of the moon beam. [3584.6s] I flick my blue hair back and like look at Flynn [3587.8s] and go, I got your back, buddy. [3592.6s] That was some solid work. [3594.0s] Yeah, that was, that was dope. [3595.7s] Well, I haven't really been pulling away. [3598.0s] It's been rolling a lot of shitty stuff. [3600.7s] Felt good, felt good to contribute. [3602.5s] New Laura, your turn. [3603.8s] I am going to go for the wasp that is near me. [3609.1s] That is a, why is math so hard? [3612.5s] Does 14 hit a wasp? [3613.9s] It does. [3614.7s] Great. [3615.5s] 15 damage. [3616.8s] New Laura, as the gargoyles and spiders [3619.2s] go up in smoke from Thea's moon beam, [3621.5s] you swing flame tongue, [3622.9s] which is blazing so bright in this dungeon room, [3625.8s] through this final flying wasp. [3628.2s] Sweet. [3629.1s] Then I pivot back to the gargoyle. [3633.8s] That is a 20. [3637.0s] 20 will do her. [3638.0s] And, oh great. [3640.6s] Oh my God. [3642.2s] Six damage. [3643.3s] A one and then a one on those rolls were really, [3646.2s] really hot. [3647.1s] Donny's going to try and help me out though. [3649.0s] He got a six. [3649.9s] He was not able to help me out. [3651.2s] Yeah, for sure. [3652.3s] But I mean, he is rude for you. [3655.2s] That gargoyle's turn [3657.4s] and he's going to take a bite and a claw at you there. [3660.2s] Well, he's going to try. [3662.1s] A 13 on the bite and a 13 on the claw. [3664.6s] He did not do it. [3666.2s] And now guess what guys, we're back to Flint. [3668.0s] Whoa, that was so much faster this time. [3670.3s] Yeah, once Thea killed all the bad guys. [3675.3s] That's a 14. [3677.4s] Yay, nay? [3678.4s] Nay. [3679.6s] Oh, boo. [3681.5s] A boo. [3683.2s] All right, well that is a 17. [3684.8s] So that should do the job quite nicely. [3686.3s] And I think he's quite low on health. [3689.2s] So I'm going to take some. [3690.9s] He's running low. [3692.5s] Some sort of crazy leaping swing at him with my axe [3696.4s] right on his neck. [3697.4s] Just to see if I can. [3699.3s] Sure. [3700.1s] You know, make him crumble the dust real quick. [3702.6s] That is a one. [3703.4s] So I get to reroll that. [3704.7s] So far not great. [3706.2s] All right, four and 10 is 14 and four is 18. [3710.1s] So nine damage went halved. [3712.1s] And that with your leaping jump [3716.3s] crumbles the final gargoyle in the room. [3719.6s] All that remains is one paralyze wasp. [3724.2s] Thea very like flipping and dismissively [3727.7s] moves my moonbeam over. [3730.6s] What was that? [3731.5s] A six, a six and a six. [3733.3s] Devil. [3734.1s] Well, it had one hit point. [3735.1s] So you. [3736.1s] Oh, that's a nine. [3737.0s] A six, six and a nine. [3738.1s] Yeah, you definitely just obliterated [3740.4s] that paralyzed one hit point wasp. [3743.9s] Congratulations. [3744.8s] Thank you. [3746.6s] You are now standing in a dust and blood covered room, [3751.0s] catching your breath while waiting to carry on [3753.0s] to see what comes next in this undeadly dungeon. [3757.0s] When you hear another buzz, [3759.9s] this buzz more tinny and mechanical in nature though. [3764.2s] You look around the room and you turn to face the wall [3766.8s] where the gargoyles were once perched [3768.9s] and you see as if lightning were forming [3771.5s] and appearing in front of you, a blue oar. [3776.0s] This orb opens to almost a doorway [3779.4s] and out steps the short box like figure [3782.4s] of your friend from the Guild of the Nine Shadows. [3785.4s] Tibby. [3786.2s] Tibby. [3787.2s] Tibby. [3788.7s] You guys ready to blow this pop stand or what? [3790.8s] What the hell are you doing here, Tibby? [3792.9s] Well, we've been tracking you for a while [3794.2s] then you kind of disappeared. [3795.5s] So we figured you were in a little bit of trouble. [3800.4s] Look around at all the dead bugs. [3802.8s] And we were right. [3804.6s] You were right. [3806.0s] Get the fuck out of here then. [3807.5s] Yeah, where are you taking us, Tibby? [3809.4s] Oh, we're just gonna go back to the Guild [3811.0s] and just see what happens, you know? [3813.4s] We got this new portal magic thing. [3815.8s] Works real nice. [3817.2s] Real nice so far. [3818.6s] Sweet. [3819.4s] Awesome, let's do it. [3820.3s] It's been nice. [3821.4s] The best portal ever. [3822.6s] It's the best portal. [3823.8s] It's magnificent. [3824.6s] It's incredible. [3825.5s] Incredible portal. [3826.3s] Nobody makes portals like I do. [3828.3s] They don't have portals like this in China. [3831.3s] Sorry. [3832.2s] I feel like this portal's set up to fail. [3838.3s] Kind of overselling this portal. [3840.3s] I thought I could do a good Trump. [3842.0s] That was good. [3843.7s] Can't compare Tibby to Trump, come on. [3846.9s] No. [3849.7s] As you step into the portal, [3851.2s] you feel relief wash over you. [3854.6s] You regain health and your wounds close. [3857.8s] You feel re-energized as you're surrounded [3860.5s] by this blue light and then as quick as it began, [3866.6s] it ends and you are standing in a field [3870.5s] surrounded by four dragonborn, [3872.8s] staring at you, mouth agape, [3876.0s] having just seen you appear from nothing. [3879.0s] You look around and you quickly realize [3881.7s] that you are no longer in Faerun. [3885.3s] To find out what happens next, [3886.9s] head over to Bros and Dragons [3888.1s] for episode 32 on June 1st, 2017. [3891.8s] Dumbgeons and Dragons will be back [3893.2s] as scheduled on June 14th at dumdragons.com, [3896.8s] on iTunes or wherever you download podcasts. [3907.9s] Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod [3910.4s] of incompetech.filmmusic.io. [3912.7s] Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
