a version of destrian for someone else's setting :>

DM: Okay, so you have pooled your limited knowledge. Kan'kad has something to contribute. She has the magic map ritual which can locate a person on a map. Which isn't a deus ex machina, because Tati picked her rituals! She says, "I can pinpoint exactly where J or Destrian are without giving them any warning."

Adam (playing Billie): Oh, shit. We wouldn't need the dead drop.

Hamish (playing Thaddeus): We could just drop in on him. He'd lose his advantage.

Tati (playing Seraph): *happily* I say, "That changes things."

I'm maybe a little obsessed with them. 💖🥺💞

A self-indulgent piece of my character Cordelia (Drow) with her partners Destrian (Fire Genasi) and Orrian (Behir-infused Elf). 🥺💖 I was thinking of how they all slept together, and came up with this little scene. 🥰

Orrian and Destrian belong to Lewt!

I did this thing where I pretend I have talent.

DM: The next round is Kjell vs Diana.

M (playing Kjell): I'm starting with Nature. 18.

Tati (playing Seraph): Diana will use Nature too. 23.

DM: Kjell, you're unseated.

M: Alright, time for the big guns. Athletics, with a 28.

Tati: Athletics, 36.

M: *winces*

DM: Diana's lance shatters but you do manage to stay on your horse.

M: I'll use an attack for the last tilt. Fuck me, natural 1!

Tati: 31.

DM: Her third lance shatters and Kjell goes flying to the floor.

Tati: Diana's finally living the fighter/knight life she should have been after all those years in Destrian's shadow.

M: I go and sit sadly with Billie.

Andy (playing Una): How's Duke Farlaing doing?

DM: He's in the corridor outside, unsure what to do. When you bring him in, Emperor Cherish regards him and says, "Duke. I understand you've had a part to play in all this." Farlaing cringes.

Adam (playing Billie): I interject, "Um, just like you had your part to play? You were both mind-controlled!"

DM: Cherish says calmly, "You're right, of course." There's a knock on the door.

Tati (playing Seraph): *flinches* I'm backing into the corner, staff up. "It's him. It's him..."

M (playing Kjell): *grim* I open the door.

DM: There's a palace servant with glassy eyes there who holds out a letter addressed to TTC.

Tati: *low moan* No, what now...

M: *reluctant* I read out the letter... "My dearest Travelling Trauma Centre…"

"I must congratulate you on your recent triumphs. The defeat of the mimic titan, the rescue of The Craftsmen from execution, and of course saving our esteemed Emperor Cherish; these deeds are sure to secure you a place in the songs of bards and the annals of history for generations to come. You even secured Galwyn’s resurrection, which I had not anticipated. I knew that you were heroes, but the way you rose to the challenge time and again far surpassed my expectations.

"And so the second phase of our game draws to a close. I suspect that this is not what you were expecting or hoping for. I can only imagine the depths of your hatred toward me, and for my new ally Destrian, who has grown so much in our short time together. Please trust in the following truths: first, that we both hate you so much more. And second, that you are not in a position yet to take us on. So we will be waiting off the board, still playing the game, but not engaging in person. When you are ready, we will tell you where to find us. After all, the dragon falls further and harder than the fairy. And we want you to fall so very far, and so very hard.

"So, for now, enjoy your success, your fame, and your rewards. I should think your emperor will give you plenty of all. Soon I will be sending you more challenges, as the tournament was only the beginning. After all, it would not do to have us get bored. But rest first. Prepare yourselves for what is coming. Gather your allies, gather your resources. You will need them. For I have mine, and they are terrible.

"On that note, I will make you a promise. I will not go after your friends. You have no reason to take me at my word, but they will be left alone. As I said, you will need your allies. Your eventual defeat and my revenge will be that much more satisfying if you had every possible asset and I still kill you all.

"And if you think me wrong, and you want to settle this now, face to face, leave a message in your dead drop. But I beg you, do not make me kill you before you are ready. I want to savour this.

"Yours, in life and death, sanity and madness, this world and the next,

Jaril Cornhollow"

M (playing Kjell): Alright, I want to loot Destrian's body.

DM: It's surprisingly intact, except for the head which Thaddeus flailed in.

M: Great. I step on his head and then lift him up by the jaw so his skull tears in half.

Marijn (playing Godric): Ew!

DM: You are now covered in Destrian gore.

M: Good.

DM: Multiple NPCs look unhappy.

M: Literally do not care.

DM: Galwyn comes up and says, "Are you okay?"

M: I grin. "Never better. Why?"

DM: He looks at Destrian's corpse. "He was a terrible enemy, but desecration of bodies... Are you okay?"

M: I'm still lowkey raging, I'm having the time of my life. I ignore the question and search the body.

DM: There's nothing on it. He didn't have any magic items except the axe.

Tati (playing Seraph): How did Mirror and Diana manage that?

Andy (playing Una): They just stuck some glitter on his armour and told him it was magical.

DM: Pretty much that, probably.

M: Oh no, I just realised I've gone and mutilated another body in front of Damaris. *head in hands* I'm sorry Damaris!

DM: It's okay, she went outside almost as soon as combat was over.
