Hello There: *Sad nod*

Row: Well, nobody puts my Warlock in timeout, I'm going to talk to him!

Row: ... So how long did he give you?

Hello There: *mimicking Cori's voice* Ten minutes

Row: Ten minutes! He gave me an hour!

Nothing quite like redrawing curse presentations for your DnD party on christmas eve :3 

only a couple sessions in and it’s honestly a miracle we’ve survived the first sess with the sheer lack of moral integrity, low rolls and shame that a 2/3 bard party can muster and here’s to hoping the next sess will let us out in one piece lmao.

Till then Happy Holidays everyone~! Hope good things come your way in the coming year <3

Character Bio: Granite (Feldspar)

He/Him Race: Gargoyle (Homebrew) Class: Ranger

Granite's life has been, for lack of a better word, an outright mess.

His life started in the vast, musical Kingdom of Verasil, brought to life via magic for the express purpose of being a gatherer of information, as well as a son for the Tiefling Wizard, Sirris. What he chooses to do with that information is ultimately up to him. At age fourteen, he was taken from his home into the palace, which was the last time he saw his father figure who, for all Granite had known at the time, sold him to Queen Anathema, the current ruler of Verasil.

Anathema, for what it was worth, wasn't necessarily a cruel queen to Granite. She treated him well and the palace workers, including the Champion, Runic, took him under their wings and treated him like one of their own. But Anathema's kindness always felt forced. Fake. The perfect utopia of the palace and Granite ascending to a powerful role came at the cost of never seeing his father ever again, and Anathema had seen to it that Sirris never interfered.

After a short couple of years under her, she gave him a job: Infiltrate the Thieves' Guild, Iron Forest, and gather information that would help the guard finally see to the Guild being shut down.

She just didn't account for the fact that Granite would genuinely grow fond of the people working in the Guild. That he would grow closer to them than he was with anyone else. He made real friends there, such as a sibling group of a Tiefling known as Arrius and a Dragonborn known as Nalmisar. He especially grew closer to a Yuan-Ti Pureblood, Erebus. It didn't come at much of a surprise when their relationship deepened into something softer and more open. Granite didn't know what falling in love had felt like prior to Erebus entering his life, but he never wanted it to end.

Years later, the ragtag group managed to help Granite officially escape from Anathema after the Gargoyle had realized how manipulative the vile queen was, allowing him to live his own life in Iron Forest. With the others by his side, he felt unstoppable.

Until Erebus and he took a job that went sideways quickly, resulting in taking Erebus's life. Granite, broken by what his hubris had brought upon someone he loved more than anything, had never truly recovered. His Guildmaster, having grown impatient with Granite's grief, had him excommunicated.

So Granite wandered, lost and aimless. Doing the bare minimum to get money so he can find the nearest tavern and get wasted so that he can dull the pain for a few hours, rinse, and repeat. And that's how it went for the next two years.

At least until he had caught the attention of a certain Archfey, and all of a sudden, Granite found himself as part of another Guild. Another ragtag bunch. Years prior, Granite would have latched onto them as he had with the others. But now, he kept his distance. He was here on obligation alone and had no desire to pretend the others could be anything more to him. He couldn't suffer that pain again.

That being said, a certain copper Dragonborn has seemingly made it her mission to break down those walls Granite had crafted. Her kindness offering a light in the darkness that had shrouded the Gargoyle and threatened to choke him. He felt like he could finally breathe again.

Those walls came back up when a very dangerous threat gave Granite a choice he couldn't take a gamble on refusing: Give up the Guild, specifically Coralan, for the safe return of Erebus, who was promised to still be alive and very much well. He was to betray the people who tried to save him for the one who taught him how to love.

Heroes of Neverra

Ever since starting our little side campaign (which is very much not a side campaign anymore) it has grown exponentially into it's own world.

It was partly due to reviving a previous character I'd played as an NPC (who I will absolutely introduce you to shortly) said character came from a world made by my friend, and fellow player, years ago. As we began to flesh out the world a little more and the story slowly unfolded around us we decided to expand upon this world fleshing it out and making it bigger and more alive.

Which is where we are now, the world of Neverra.

Neverra has three continents: Aetheria, Zalamar, and Marukel.

We currently have two campaigns running in this world (sort of)

The first doesn't actually take place on Neverra but within the feywild domain of Nivermeuse. The domain has sort of permanently attached itself to the continent of Zalamar through a permanent fey crossing in an elven city. This is our longest running storyline currently that has just wrapped up it's first full arc/campaign.

The second and most recent that we have yet to start, which is being dmed by my friend, takes place upon the continent of Zalamar in the country of Alfinia. I don't know a whole lot about the story yet but considering the characters I and everyone else has made, it promises to be a wild ride.

I do absolutely plan to do location and character spotlights at some point and I know everyone else is looking forward to showing off their own creations. So keep an eye out for those!

Finally Getting to Play

So we have our new paladin a warforged named Orthodox, our barbarian who finally settled on Zarius for a name, and our warlock Nela w/ familiar Lancelot the “cat”. So we finally got them to go bury the body of the burgomaster, with Ishmark. They go and because Nela is curious and Orthodox cannot let harm come to humans they had to fight Doru the vampire spawn. The fight was so hard for them and hilarious for me because they were getting annoyed that they couldn’t roll higher than his 15 armor class for half of it but he kept landing hits.  They did win though. it was the second battle they had this session the other was against some twig blights chasing Orthodox because he attacked them. He attacks things with human faces and this time they fought back, it was a much better introduction to the story. As for the guy from last time who yelled at me we kicked him out and his frat brother wouldn’t play without him so I got the be very creepy about it. “You wake up and hear the screams of people that sound like your missing companions as well as a howl. The screams stop suddenly and the mist gets thicker.” MY whole party was so creeped out, when they went to bury the body I got to do something similar. “You approach the grave you saw last time you were her, you cannot make out anything on tombstones for the mist has gotten thicker around some lining your path. They are all covered in fog except this one, it is clear.” They did not enjoy that one bit. Our paladin and barbarian managed to piss off a lot of people because they respect none of the town rules and are rude to everyone, even worse after “killing” Doru. They ended it by driving him in with a wooden stake but since they removed it he was able to reanimate after they left. He killed his father and ran into the sun effectively dying. We may be getting some more new members so I’ll update with character sheets at some point for them as well. We may finally get to play regularly.
