we finished kingdom of the midnight forest tonight (technically 10/23 12:20 AM CST for me)
it’s been a hell of a ride with party members circling in and out. from our first session answering a call to arms from a 13 year old half orc, to all the victories (the princess is alive!) and mishaps (the priestess spying on us for two years), to the emotional moments of killing our past abusers, the tyrant king, the evil priestess, and the goddess lolth. to our last moment together, the rush to get to the portal to get back home. spending spell slot after spell slot to get everyone back and three of us almost getting left behind. from the magnificent characters of jeffery, ownka, marco polo (and his three dragon moms), and princess marinara, to only name a few.
on a more personal note--
thank you to @radicata for the wonderfully amazing character of zora. that disaster lesbian tiefling was a constant light in the campaign, and your jokes provided life and laughter to even the most emotional of moments. she was a fierce protester of her little adopted family (especially ownka). her interactions with orryn were some of the best moments of the campaign.
thank you to @osteoclastics for orryn, the tiny gnome necromancer (okay, i’ll admit he’s an adult now). he was a witty character with awesome spells and his interactions with other characters (pc or npc) were amazing (the cook? zora? some of my favorite interactions). he had great one liners and jokes. i always looked forward to seeing your jokes and memes in the discord or google hangout chats.
thank you to @osroshallward, a late addition to the party but a great one. i will forever be grateful to that lil halfling paladin for taking on the responsible role. miriah spent about 5 days in campaign with us total, and i know you as a player were left out on 2 years worth of inside jokes, but you handled both amazingly and it felt like you had been with us for the full two and a half years.
thank you of course to our wonderful dm, @weirdgirl-14, for creating this wonderful world and providing hundreds of hours worth of storytelling. you create some of the best npcs out there and i’m always eager to know what happens next in your storytelling. you make dnd something light and fun and easy to enjoy. i know we threw you for a loop many, many times (what do you mean we can’t fight off 500 drow at once?), but you handled it so well and made this chit great for us time and time again.
i love you guys.
