In this episode, Randi and Nathaniel fail to notice that one of their microphones is off. Spoiler: it’s Nathaniel’s, and he’s loud so it isn’t THAT much softer.

Our intrepid co-hosts investigate two particularly strange beasties this week: the homebody Crypt Thing, and the perfect 10 gelatinous cube. They discuss just HOW sadistic a crypt thing is, and how, um, gelatinous the gelatinous cube is.

Randi delves deep into gelatinous cube lore to rediscover the lost adventurer Haptooth, a D&D figure so unimportant he doesn’t have a stub for a wiki page. In Dragon Magazine #124, Haptooth shares his knowledge of gelatinous cubes (also known as athcoids). Join our duo as they muddle through some improv and make tasteless acid attack jokes.
