Our gnoll paladin/weird fungus Ev'Dag from D&D game #2, who was vital in keeping the threat of the Centipocalypse contained. We made it! We all made it! We almost fucking didn't but ultimately we made it!!

Character is @savestate's!

First Mythrim session went wonderfully and also horribly, 3/5 of the party went unconscious (and one on 2 failed death saves) to jungle wyverns and Quentin was PATHETIC just as I predicted (he has never been in a fight before and this is the most injured he’s ever been he was being SO woeful about it)

BUT, the party finally got to fully assemble and oh man it is so funny. With the exception of Pip the monk, everybody else is so gnarly and full of dark weird secrets, and then there’s glimmering glittering pony boy in amongst it all I’m dying.

It’s interesting also because we’re coming at this party from all kinds of strange directions, it’s not just a typical band of adventurers who all have much the same starting goal for adventuring. Quentin IS NOT an adventurer, in fact he was hiring the adventurers (with his mentor’s money), Pip is a monk on what is essentially a spiritual quest and hadn’t previously encountered money before let alone worked for it. Caliban the parasite warlock gribbler (a Helena’s Guide cyclopian) is coming into the adventuring game pretty traditionally but of the other two our gnoll paladin Ev-Dag-Nal is apparently a lot older than he looks and doesn’t give a toot about this adventuring gig at present, he just showed up to the fight, and Chance the shadowy tabaxi rogue is just tagging along with Dag because he has snacks lmao

first game of the new Mythrim (homebrew) campaign this saturday I’m so excited aaaa

It’s still incredibly funny to me that this is pretty much my first time seriously engaging with D&D- my previous experience with it being an 8-session thing set in modern LA which was pretty atypical, capping YEARS of playing 13th Age- all exactly as WotC shoots itself in the foot with the whole OGL thing lmfao. Oh well, as long as it doesn’t end up actually affecting Foundry (also a first experience for me and I’m really liking it so far, it’s way less clunky than Roll20) I think we should be fine, worst that can happen is we have to switch back to playing D&D in the ways people have for the previous several decades oh noo.

but yeah anyway EXCITED. I played Quentin for like 2 hours so far in his session zero and he makes me laugh which is a good sign, I feel like I play a lot better when I can’t take my character 100% seriously or even 50% seriously. He’s also such a fragile beast oh my god. His stats are lame and being a caster at level 1 he’s made of tissue paper, his HP is 8 and his AC is 10, it’s pretty much impossible NOT to hit his enormous horse ass :’)

It’s also gonna be my first time playing a more involved caster! Sorcerer is not that scary, but it’s still a big step up from my previous semi-caster Shell the cleric, who was anyway a 13th Age caster which is a billionty times easier to build and use. Looking forward to spamming cantrips for stupid shit hell yeahhh

this is why btw

I feel like y'all should know, in true "my character is just nerdy monster Eddie+Venom" solidarity, that we found another symbiote a few games ago called 212 who was 100% prepared to consume EPE to upgrade it's powers and promptly called us defective and Caliban's response was "well I'm glad you didn't need to kill me EPE we'll just continue to work something out" (212 kills it's hosts and controls the corpse) and also was 100% convinced that they could eat 212 despite the entire party and EPE being like "no that's fucking suicidal."

He did not get to eat 212 instead some worse stuff happened 212 now in the possession of our evil master The Lady (a green dragon) so yeah Caliban is still convinced he could have taken another symbiote. Could have eaten it. Would have won. Power of friendship.
