I’m not sure if I ever shared this battlemap, but this was one of the boss fights my players had to face in the first act of the campaign, known as The Heart of Dhum Urnam. This fleshy aberration gave them plenty of trouble, but it was quite rewarding to have them fight an animated boss!

Session something: The Motley Crew

can you choke hold a fish?

Druid wanted information from rival Kuatoa priestess as the whole party and her dad killing was killing her

Demon of madness comes from lake, I want to kill it while party says no

Never got to kill a god

We run from hentai monster

Almost get hit with a tentacle in a mushroom raft

Session was fast, only a couple hours, most of it was waiting for druid to join, well two hours of playing

Current Barbarian and I are making a fighter-bard cooking combo, we run a tavern called Magestros

[the-abyss-road]

Mayor Palatine and his rebel cult leader daughter bipod

Wizard had staring contest with every fish he could meet or see

Lost all of them, they don't blink

Attempted kidnapping and murder of the motley crew by rebel fish cult

Operation Trojan horse is a go

Mayor Palpatine didn't know what a Trojan horse was, I had to explain

It's been a few weeks,bit we are just starting this week's game, highlights to be done after

[the-abyss-road]

Been thinking about the dome scene for a while now. It makes me deeply emotional. Theres just… growth and friendship and love and… companionship idk its just.. its nice.

I've seen a few posts about Fjord becoming the ward/head of an orphange post-campaign and they're always so wonderful. They also make me think about the many visitors the children would get to meet, like:

The Expositor of the Cobalt Soul, dressed in blue and gray, who treats Mr. Fjord like a brother, bumping shoulders and always making each other laugh. She shows the kids her monk prowess, aweing them all with her kicks and flips. Though, they love her stories most of all...

The small Halfling woman, covered in buttons and flowers, and smelling faintly of chemicals. She and Mr. Fjord trade insults back and forth the entire time she's there, though they both smile the all the while. Her stories are always accompanyied by interjections from Mr. Fjord, making the children laugh...

The human man who the children are told is a professor at the newly reformed Soltryce Academy in Rexxentrum. His visits are always warm, always putting an equally warm smile on Mr. Fjord's face. He is a favorite visitor of the children who aspire to learn magic themselves, though all of them love to witness whatever magic he shows them. His stories are always long and captivating, his quiet voice charming all who listened, despite his introverted nature...

A blue tiefling who always bounds through the doors of the orphanage with a seemingly endless flood of cheer. Her energy is always infectious and both the children and Mr. Fjord are all bright smiles when she's around. She always is slipping kids candy and drawing pictures for them while telling her stories, always with fond chiding from Mr. Fjord if it starts getting a bit mature...

A large woman with pale, pale skin and pretty eyes of two tones who is always so quiet. And though she is quiet, it is a comfortable quiet. Her sense of humor is a riot with the kids, because it is so strange, and you can always find a child or two hanging off of her. Her stories are also captivating and always teach the kids important lessons, even when they don't mean to

An even larger Firbolg with pink hair and a calming aura. He and Mr. Fjord are connected, of sorts, through their shared devotion to Melora, the Wildmother. The kids are always bombarding him with questions; coming up with strange questions to get even stranger, in their eyes, answers was a fun game they loved to play with him. Plus, he was a fantastic cook and always made the best treats and some tasty tea when he was there. Story time with him was always accompanyied by food and held outside amongst the nature...

Mr. Fjord and his friends also frequently talk of another friend of theirs, another tiefling, who lived in bright colors and wanted to leave the world better...

Other old friends of Mr. Fjord's would visit on occassion as well: a drow man with intelligent eyes, a sweet woman who seemed to be half dragon, an old tortle covered in tattoos who loved to play his pipes for them, a glowing woman with a halo who teaches them to do good, and many more.

And though Mr. Fjord seemed to have many friends, the six that visited most were more than that, he'd tell them. They were his family. He stressed to them that family isn't just the people who shared your blood; that you didn't have to share a last name to be family.

Of course, the children already knew this, for many of them considered each other and Mr. Fjord their family too

I literally saved these screenshots as “the danger trio”… aka three people who should never be allowed to sit next to each other because of the chaos and mischief they will create

Bonus because, Liam wtf are you doing:

[the-abyss-road]

i did it! it took me about 6 or 7 hours to do both the art and the music, which i definitely did not have time for tonight, but this scene was so beautiful i had to capture it best i could

it starts off a little unsure and then yasha gains confidence as she goes, and i tried to make it both a little sad like ashley described, and also fit with yasha’s general aesthetic

(i had some help from kye on padding this out a bit, who, i quote, added “54 notes, good luck guessing which ones”, so credit where credit is due 😂)

(they also suggested the alternate title “Yasha (Yes, Ashley Should Have Axes)”, which i think is extremely valid of them)

(art is entirely mine, and i’ll post that separately as well so you guys can have a better look at it, but for now, have my rendition of yasha’s playing, both audibly and visibly!)

(i love her so much)

[the-abyss-road]

Today in DnD with my bois

Dexterity saves and rolls are collectively called Vibe checks

Whenever some one does a punching attack, we all say, "ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this"

Cleric fucking dies

Wizard stepped out of cage after being yelled at that the cage blocked magic.

Cannabalism by 3/4 of the party on the dead guards, our wizard is human so he couldn't join
