Session Two

For Session Two the party investigates the collapsed tunnel system, following after an over-eager Syar. 

The floors are wet, and slightly sticky. Exposed stone and stalactites surround, but wooden supports show people have been there before.

They find lots of wooden crates, some half eaten food, a couple winding burrows, and a beautiful elven women in the middle of it all, rooting around. 

She introduces herself as Little Bit, and quickly stops pocketing stolen goods. Rize has enough time to notice a familiar sigil on said crates, before all of them pick up on the sound of hushed voices coming from somewhere, echoing through the cavern. 

They make their way through following the sound, and turn a corner to see a young, purple, tiefling woman. Her back is turned to the party, and she seems to be in the middle of an argument. She has a boot on-top of an air genasi, who is curled up in a ball on the ground, clutching his stomach. He wears traditional bard clothing in bright blues and reds, and seems to be in pain. 

As she turns to the approaching group, her friend is revealed. He is wearing all black and has a huge coat on. He has long bangs that cover half his face. 

They introduce themselves as Abigail, and Sebastian. Their friend is named Sam, and is under the influence of the Hold Person spell so he doesn’t harm anyone. They were fighting over what to do next, and who was responsible, as one of them dared him to drink weird cave water before he starting acting all weird. 

The character Moe takes to Abigail immediately, seeing her interest in magic and showing off. He uses his last healing spell on Sam, and Arsen puts him to sleep. 

They are going make their way back into town, but on the way out, are ambushed by a swarm of spiders. 

While the spiders themselves are no problem, the party is quickly overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. Nieszka is bitten and the poison knocks her out. Syar rushes forward to save her life. In the process she endangers herself. Trying to prevent spiders from overrunning her, Rize tries to help, but ends up stabbing Syar instead. She hits the ground, and Rize tries to stop the bleeding, but is unsuccessful. Her condition quickly because unstable, and no one is familar enough with medicine to help. Arsen pulls Nieszka out of the mine, and Little bit and Rize work together to drag Syar to the surface as well. Moe kills the last spiders, before leaving the party and heading to town without so much as a goodbye.

As the party and the townsfolk they met in the mines collapse, exhausted on the surface, Nieszka comes to. 

Syar does not. 

They decide to seek out the town healer.

Character Master Post

Frida Applegrove is a Halfing Druid who lives in a small farming community in the Cindersap Forest. She refers to everyone in her community outside of her immediate family as her "cousin," whether they are related by blood or not. She has lots of skills related to faming, homesteading, and botany, and prefers evasive actions and healing to hand-to-hand combat. She is friendly, but kind of awkward and sky around new people.

She has a strong belief in taking only what you need from nature, and respects all living creatures. However, she won't hesitate to cut a bitch if they threaten her family, friends, or the wild. She mostly wants to chill with her chickens and drink tea, but will get involved when something threatens her community or the surrounding ecosystem. How she got mixed up with the rest of the party? Yoba only knows.

Rize Ro'aushee is a Eladrin Rogue. Folks who live near Pelican Town have probably bumped into them once or twice, and they own a little ranch on the outskirts of town.

They have 0 farming experience, and have started growing Rhubarb. When asked why, they seem to not understand that it's not common to have a diet of Just Rhubarb.

When asked by a townsperson if they are a man of woman they say, "no." They are fine with any pronouns, and don't have a firm grasp on why gender matters in societies outside of where they grew up. Compared to your average human they're middle-aged, but by Elvish standards they seem to just barley be out of what we consider "teenager" territory. They value knowledge and freedom, and moved to Pelican Town hoping to pursue a quiet life, away from remainders of their past.

Nieszka is a forest Nymph Sorceress. She grew up in a village of nymphs like her. They were often exploited and commodified by humans, and she's exploring the world for the first time on her own now.

She cares about others...very aggressively, and has some anger issues. She's a total slob, constantly a mess, and doesn't give a shit.

( Which.. she grew up in the woods? Can you blame her?)

She is very good at being in the wilderness and has many survival skills. Considering the climate of her childhood, and the oppression she faced, she's also very political- and vocal about it. She hates authority with a passion, hate rules. Vive la revolution!

Despite all her stubbornness, she's a fun, nature-loving, tree gal at heart. Her only fault being a name I have to double and triple check the spelling of all the time/j

Arsen Ericross is a Changling Druid. She was abandoned in the wood when she was 11, and spent many years wandering through the wilds, and finding towns to leech off of before moving on.

She knows some magic, and is determined to find another mentor to continue her training.

She is not the trusting type, and tries to hold others at arms length. She values nature, and holds the order of the natural world over the comforts of modern society.

She carries grudges, and doesn't stray away from making an enemy if its what the moment demands. She doesn't care about wealth, or rank, and is not a person you want to cross. (Pun intended) 

Moe Monas is a Bard. Yes, that’s his name. Yes, it’s a riff off the name of the famous singer, Joe Jonas. I will be taking no more questions at this moement. 

Now that that is out of the way, he is a spry, lithe half-elf from the very wealthy and musically talented Monas family. He lived an incredibly lavish and sheltered lifestyle, and he knew no wants or needs in his youth. His mindset changed, however, when he stepped outside his family’s estate to tour the countryside with his band, The Monas Brothers. After witnessing the poverty and destitution right outside his doorstep, he joined a revolutionary organization fighting for the common people. At some point, he sustained an injury to his left shoulder, rendering him unfit for combat. Though.. he can't quite remember how he got it. So he moved to Pelican Town for the quiet farm life.

He loves making puns, quoting Taylor Swift, delivering justice, and a certain purple haired tiefling who lives next door.

Syar Troobleman is a Werejackel Cleric and Worshipper of the moon. However, she does not believe in the physical moon, only the diety.

She found herself in the valley on a way to a religious conference. She is the sole heir to a cult dedicated to the moon, and knows how to navigate the upper circles. This doesn't mean she enjoys it. In fact, she quite openly detests nobility, and those that act like others are beneath them.

She has a wild soul, and acts on impulse often, much to the chagrin of her long-suffering Bodyguard.

She will always do what she can to help others, and values curiosity and charity.

Little Bit is a Elven Rogue. She was raised in the Gotoro Empire with her mother, and had many step-parents growing up. She is not trained in traditional rogue-ish arts, but can pickpocket if she needs too and charm about anyone. Or sell them a product that doesn’t exist. She gets a thrill from shop-lifting, which led to lots of time spent in assorted prisons, and values wealth and beauty.

She can’t always empathize with others and doesn’t feel the need to stay loyal if presented with a better option. She is rather self-absorbed, and looks after herself first.

That said, she loves being complimented, and is a social creature. Just because she knows how to work alone, doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy being around other people.

“Money can’t buy happiness, but it is far more comfy to cry in a Porsche than it is on a bicycle,” -Her at some point probably

A Post About My New Favorite D&D Character

So I'm currently in a D&D campaign with some friends in a fantasy!AU of Stardew Valley, and in the campaign I'm playing as my new favorite D&D character, Rize.

(Art by @finchminch my wonderful DM)

Rize in an Eladrin, with skin the color of mahogany bark, and hair that from a distance looks in color like a spider's web. Their parents, along with about a dozen other Eladrin, left the Feywild a few years before Rize was born. They libed in a small, self-sufficient community for a few decades, but when they suffered a few harsh growing seasons and winters, a greedy corporation (Joja, for SDV fans) saw their opportunity to exploit their community, and offered to employ their workers, offering them resources in exchange for more-or-less giving up their way of life.

The corporation recognized Rize's talents in hunting, tracking, etc and saw in them an opportunity. They told Rize that they wanted to 'save' other communities, but some 'evil' people stood in their way, and asked Rize to... take care of those people.

Rize then spent most of their young adulthood working as a hitman in a society they knew next to nothing about.

(More art by @finchminch !!!)

After doing Joja's dirtiest work from the shadows for years, Rize stumbled upon an awful secret that made them question everything they'd done. They ran, and recognizing they couldn't return home or risk harm coming to their family, fled to a small farming community to try to turn a new leaf and start over... they moved to Pelican Town, and tried blending in as a simple farmer.

(Farmer!Rize art by @finchminch I love this sketch btw)

Things went fine,, for about a month. Since then, Rize has stumbled headfirst into trouble during a nearby cave-in, met a whole crew of colorful characters who banded together to save the life of their friend, and they've been slowly revealing to this new group that they're not the humble, peaceful farmer that they want to be.

In gameplay terms, Rize is a Rogue - Mastermind, level 3 right now. I LOVE this character and I love the way that as we olay the game I get to watch them evolve from thinking they're just a living weapon, to being a careful planner and strategist who does their best to solve problems before they ever have to draw a blade. The campaign is fun and my friends' characters are amazing, we get to explore lots of very real world themes like jealousy and trauma and love and death, while also cracking jokes and throwing punches at our bard for making stupid puns all the time. I've never felt this connected to one of my OC's before so I wanted to write up a post about them and share their story!!

[thegodofpelicantown]

Session One

Kicking things off with a boom- the scene opens on a explosion in the forest. Syar, a werejackel cleric, throws herself out of a moving train and takes off towards the woods.

Rize, a elven rouge, and Moe, and half-elven bard, are in town and move in that direction to investigate.

The rest of party is already on the scene, considering half of them live in the woods and don't know what taxes are ( The tax part is unrelated just important to note)- they work together to put out the spreading fire, and as the smoke clears, met each other for the first time.

Yet, the awkward silence, and bickering is put to an end as blink dogs join the fray. Unnaturally hostile, and never in one place long.

The party holds them off, until they retreat into the woods. The druid, Arsen, befriending one in the process and naming him Bramble.

Before everyone can properly introduce themselves, Syar is at the sight of the explosion, and quickly discovers a collapsed cave system. The session comes to a close as she trips and finds herself stumbling into the unknown.

Pelican Town

It's my fantasy world and I do what I want. In this campaign, Pelican town is a coastal trading town, tucked in a mountain range, secluding it from the neighboring Zuzu Empire.

The Zuzu Empire is at war with the Gotoro Kingdom to the east.

(And yes I did google both of these are cities names several times while prepping)

Pelican Town itself is known for its beaches, and yearly festivals. All sorts of different people live there, and it is welcoming to those of all races. It's a small town, with a single train running through it. It's rare someone steps off, and rarer they stay for any substantial amount of time.
