for being “the ancient,” strahd sure is far from the oldest person in barovia.

Hey guys I'm back from prison.

Forgot to draw the back of Exethanter's coat whoops

[qusok]

I'll continue on with silly CoS polls, because I'm bored, but I don't have enough energy to do actual things

[moldwood]

memes with friends while i wind down working for the night, too shitty for my art blog but perfect for here

left: when you're watching a movie and the hero walks towards the heroine // god take me (the meme is implying there's about to be a dirty scene) (exethanter's version has him watching strahd and tatyana through a spyglass. it's maybe hard to tell lol mb. at any rate he is expecting death not sex)

right: greetings

Today I'm thinking a lot about Neferon and Exethanter

Running their evil library

Happy Pride

[definitely-not-strahd]

I never ran it, but I actually did come up with something similar to this once! It was called “boss babe Barovia”, and in it, Strahd owned an anti-aging skincare line—which is exactly what it sounds like—while Escher and the brides all had their own companies as subsidiaries of his. Strahd’s beef with Ireena was that she was refusing to sell her small business to him (everything-proof makeup: perfect when you’re running for your life but also need to look good).

Van Richten became a couture fashion designer, the situation in Vallaki turned into a Twitter “Caw” flame war between Lady Wachter and Baron Vallakovich, the night hags started a health food MLM, and Izek just really wanted to run a family vlog. The winery became overrun with Karens and “influencers” wanting free stuff for “exposure”. The only normal person was Blinksy.

has anyone run a Real Housewives of Barovia campaign yet because if not I think I've got an idea for my next CoS run

[hexed-padlock]

Still super obsessed with the idea of Tav being part of the og party that killed Strahd and they just… dont mention it. At all.

Like, you’ve got:

Gale: Archmage of Waterdeep, wizarding prodigy, Chosen of Mystra herself

Karlach: frontliner of the Blood War and escapee from Avernus

Wyll: The Blade of Frontiers and son of Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard

Astarion: Vampire spawn of Cazador Szarr, and former magistrate

Shadowheart: Priestess of Shar, Lady of Loss

Lae’zel: Githyanki warrior and proud servant of Vlaakith

And my Tav’s canon: Slayer of the Dread Lord Strahd von Zarovich, currently trying to find a way to bring it up to the party and is 100% awkward about it because they died *after* killing Strahd and only because they tripped off a cliff and their old party thought it’d be funny to cast Reincarnate instead of Revivify.

The story everyone knows is that (Tav) died in the fight against Strahd as a “final heroic sacrifice for the greater good.” When in reality, they’re too embarrassed to correct anyone so they’ve picked a new name and literally made a deal with Neferon or Exethanter for completely different magic to what they used to wield and now they’re committed to the disguise/new life/fake backstory of being tricked into a Warlock pact. At this point, they’re neckdeep in this awkward situation where everyone believes they died a hero’s death, their old party is kinda just laughing about everything, and their BG3 party is completely oblivious.

Astarion: “It’s near impossible to kill a true vampire lord. Cazador is almost unbeatable.”

Tav the Strahd Slayer: “…I see.”

—————————————

Upon request, I’ve decided to start a short fic series of reveals—all just drabbles and oneshots since I’m not used to writing anymore.

Below will be a masterlist of the different posts once I begin with them.

“Do the Cattle not know you?” - Facing Cazador (Serious, Sassy Tav)

“A New Type of Vampire” - Raphael discusses the Ascension ritual and Tav remembers a similar story (Flashbacks, Traumatized Tav)

[MILD CURSE OF STRAHD SPOILERS]

Part two to the previous comic (this one)

The scene where Godfrey died BROKE ME, the entire fight both Emmet and Godfrey were slowly getting their HP chipped away at, neither of them were getting downed at all. And then, when both were in the single digits (emmet was at 2 hp), Godfrey stepped in and blocked an attack from Strahd. After he died, Diego managed to get a hit on Strahd and it turned out that was the last hit needed to down him. Strahd retreated, we chased after him, and killed him. Diego being the one to land the final blow because he had the sun sword.

Emmet collected Godfrey's ashes, and when the party went their separate ways. He returned to the Amber Temple with Rissc, and asked Exethanter if he could reunite him and Godfrey just so they could talk. He was able to, and the two were able to talk for a minute. Godfrey confessing his feelings to Emmet and promising to watch over him/that he'll be there for him always, even if he couldn't feel or see him.

Exethanter chatted with Val for a bit and decided they could be trusted with unlimited written knowledge.

This is a series of exercises I did while playing curse of Stradh. It was my first proper DnD campaign and since it was completely online I did this drawings while I was waiting on combat or dialogue. The amber temple was for me particularly interesting it was one of the the most unique and imaginative fictional sets that I've seen in a game, thus inspired me a lot.

#1: Exethanter, the Lich

#2: Ezmeralda d'Avenir

#3: Amber Golem

#4: Count Stradh von Zarovich
