getting tired, Matt!
(laughter)
SAM: Wait for the explosion!
MATT: Roll for reach around.
(laughter)
SAM: What am I rolling?
MATT: This is still another thieves’ tools check,
so still plus seven.
SAM: Okay. 22 this time.
MATT: 22. That’ll do it.
SUMALEE: Explosion!
LIAM: Your mother watches this show, right?
MATT: You manage to just lift the trapdoor enough
to slide your hand underneath. There is a trigger
cable underneath that has been set into a hook.
Right before it pulls taut enough for it to snap,
you grab it, lift it up, put it onto a shoulder.
Using the cable, you pull it back until you find a
piece of rock off to the side and hook it to it to
where it maintains the tautness. You find another
metal ring that is designed specifically to hold
the trap when it’s not set. It does not go off.
The trapdoor opens, and there is a staircase that
descends to a lower floor.
SAM: See? Just easy as that.
LIAM: Is it open?
SAM: It’s open. Let’s go in.
LIAM: Open it. No. I hold up Frumpkin, I place him
on the edge of the trapdoor, and send him
scrambling under to look.
MATT: Okay. Make a perception check for Frumpkin.
MARISHA: I’m still watching this front area.
LIAM: 15.
MATT: 15? Okay. Frumpkin descends slowly down the
stairs. There’s a faint bit of torchlight in
there. You hear whimpering. A few voices faintly
whimpering. Inside the chamber– I can show you, actually.
SAM: Wait, what? No, you had the upstairs built,
Matt, you didn’t have the downstairs built. That
would be too much.
MATT: I’ll be right back.
(groaning)
SAM: Guys? D&D Beyond.
LIAM: We learned so much.
SAM: We’ve learned so much about– Hey Taliesin,
welcome back to the show!
TALIESIN: Thank you, it’s great to be back.
MARISHA: Will you show off your shirt? It’s a
little squishy.
TALIESIN: It’s a little squishy.
SAM: “New character, who dis?” Aw, that’s great!
LIAM: Last week, Taliesin was hanging like Tom
Cruise in a Mission: Impossible movie just above
the table waiting to drop in, and we all thought
it would happen near the end of the episode, but
it didn’t. It didn’t. How does it feel to finally
let that little bit of rope cut and be in the game again?
TALIESIN: I’ve got to say, it’s been a little
nerve wracking coming in as someone new. It’s very interesting.
