    Episode 4 - Gelatinous Gulp

    Well met, adventurer! ⚔️🎲 Welcome to the fourth episode of Roll The Old Bones, a weekly audio podcast about learning to play Dungeons & Dragons, featuring silly sketches and comic interludes. In this episode, Duncan leads Andy, a level 2 wizard, through a mysterious dungeon in search of arcane treasures. Along the way, we catch up with Sidney the Wandering Monster, listen to an advert for Cinder Mattress (the premier provider of orthopaedic bedding for dragons), and peek in on The Dark Lord taking Dogsbody to the vet. Andy also tries on some heavy-duty Dwarven Chainmail sent in by a fan, nearly injuring himself in the process. Meanwhile, The Singing Sword tries once more to impress judge Simon Growel in "Beholder's Got Talons". We also dive into more D&D gameplay with a Frogger-themed river trap, encounter a pair of skeleton guards in an Undertale-inspired magic maze, and wrap things up with one more carefully crafted, D&D-themed Dad Joke. Will weedy wizard Andy overcome the Slimes and the Chameleonic boss monster? Will his luck run out and this week’s dad joke fall flat? Grab your d20 and find out!
