[image description copied from alt text: a digital drawing of a character from my d&d game, Ithren (they/any?), drawn from the neck up. Ithren's face is divided down the middle with a red line. half their face is drow in appearance, with dark purple skin, a large pointed ear, white freckles, and chin-length white hair in braids. the other half is sea elf in appearance with bluish-green skin, shoulder-length hair resembling water, and an ear that folds over like a cresting wave. Ithren is looking upwards with a neutral expression. three moons are reflected in their eyes. End ID.]

i love this little freak

[ID copied from alt text: A digital drawing of Ithren (they/them) and Ingot (he/they), PCs from my D&D campaign, set against a black background. On the background, in white, there is a jagged line extending from Ingot, appearing as though Ingot is firing the line from his bow, and extending across the image, through Ithren's neck. At the center of the jagged line is the word "Talk" in large capital letters and underlined three times. Ithren, on the left, is a blue Sea Elf with short shaggy green hair and pale gray eyes. They are wearing very tattered clothing. Ithren is viewed in side profile, looking at Ingot with a blank expression on their face. Ingot, on the right, is a gray tiefling with long dark blue hair, orange eyes, and a set of bat-like wings. They are wearing a white dress shirt and maroon pants. He is in three quarters profile, his white wooden longbow drawn and aimed threateningly at Ithren. Ingot's mouth hangs open as if speaking the word at the center of the image. End description.]

admittedly i kind of half-assed the statblocks for the homebrewed guys in last night's combat, but my players enjoyed them so i thought i'd talk about them here!

the set up for the combat is that the PCs were in an ifrit/fire genasi town on the side of a volcano. shadow puppetry is a big thing here and so, while the PCs were watching a shadow puppet play, a mischievous scamp part-time PC started fucking with the magic of the volcano, just to see what would happen. what happened was Bad and the shadow puppets enlarged, sprang to life and began fighting. oops.

i based them loosely (extremely loosely) on the shadow lurkers/stranglers and shadow puppeteer from d&d 4e. but for reasons, i made them more bard-like instead of undead, and gave them more shadow flavor abilities instead of stealth stuff. i called the grunts "shadow warriors." they each got two melee attacks that did psychic damage, and on every hit, the target had to make a charisma saving throw or else be attacked an additional time by their own shadow. any time you can make a player roll to attack themself, you should. it's fun.

the "shadow puppeteer" was bigger, had more hp, and did two melee attacks with psychic damage, and an additional third attack wherein strings shot out of their hands into a target's shadow, triggering a wisdom saving throw. on a fail, the target was dominated by the puppeteer and had to attack their allies on their turn (described as their shadow moving and the PC having no choice but to follow). anytime you can get your players to roll and attack their friends, you should, it's fun.

anyway a good time was had by all and the part-time PC was banished from the town. sorry bud ily.
