My party fought a purple worm recently. It devoured the cleric. Then the sorcerer used polymorph on it to turn it into a frog, which caused the cleric to get squeezed out of it like toothpaste in a tube and shot out of it and collided with the cavern ceiling, taking 'fall' damage. Then the cleric used divine intervention (successfully)... as a divine avatar they swooped down and crushed the frog between their hands, releasing a tidal wave of venemous worm viscera to wash over everyone causing them to take massive poison damage. Great fun :D
In terms of your plan, drilling a hole in the rod may cause it to lose function. Also a general rule about polymorph is that there needs to be room for the transformation, and a general rule for invalid creature placement is that creatures take a small amount of force damage and are moved to the closest available space. As your DM I'd probably say you couldn't end polymorph early while it's in the rod, and if you lost concentration or the duration expired, it would be shunted next to the rod and take 2d10 force damage.
Actually what I'd like to do is have the worm trapped in the rod, make you believe it died, and the next time you used it the worm would appear.
Your Walmart doesn't have self-checkout? Or other open lanes? It's one particular cashier? Regardless if she's harassing you like that you need to let her/management know.
I didn't think this was that obscure. I made heaps of MP3 CDs full of video game music for my long drives to/from college. It was all both intuitive and easy for me - like the video shows you just copy the files on the disc and burn it.
Geology degree here - you identify some rocks by licking them. Licking most rocks will give you no information. But in a final, honestly, nobody would bat an eye if you licked all of them, just in case.
We're actually in full swing replacing lead lines already. The BIL funding is paying for it and there's an imminent deadline to have a lead inventory (Oct 16)
