Centi got to land some PRETTY HEAVY HITS on Solaralith during her final battle!

she'd called dibs on the wings and she got the wings, and even took back her mother's stolen mask too!

the battle ended with just Centi standing at 5 HP and everyone else down, it was super tense but so much fun!!

Surrounded by the imagery of her celestial kind, Solaralith always held herself as regal as the Sun, her symbol. She was meant for greatness, and she was willing to achieve it through whatever means. She wasn't born as holy as her brethren, however, and thus she had to get that power through other methods. Solaralith methodically ripped apart other celestials, taking their body parts and adorning herself and her sancta sanctorum with it. Halos embedded on the walls, cloaks made out of their wings, jewellery made out of their eyes- Whatever it was. Her greatest price was the Mask she tore from the Radiant Dame's face, however: With it, she had stolen the power of an actual deity, and was willing to put it to use.

Solaralith, The Queen: An Aasimar Cleric of Unity and one of the BBEGs in our campaign!  We're now headed towards her, and she may be the next one to fall in our campaign. We're doing cards with the Big Guys in our campaign, and this is the first of a set of four. I drew another one, while our DM and Boo are working on a couple more. As always, reblogs are ultra helpful, these sorta drawings are very timeconsuming!

This body-horror mess is what Solaralith turned into for her second phase. Her (stolen) mask, of celestial origin, was all that had been keeping her alive: She had been killed 10 years ago. Once she was stripped from that, her body reversed to her undead condition, and the mask itself exploded in a messy positive energy burst. One that didn’t heal her normally, but instead made her mutate terribly: Things started to grow out of control in her body. 

I enjoyed having some parts of the body look like porcelain, like the normal bit of her face, with all the fleshy goodness and overgrown bits just getting all around. (Also, let me know if I need to tag this in any other way, I know it’s pretty gorey!)

I just have this lil doodle of Sola I didn’t finish but could maybe be nice if I ever finished it! This is the result of an undead aasimar, who had been covering her undead status with a celestial source of power, suddenly getting that source of power stripped away and getting irradiated with way too much positive energy, which instead of healing her made her get meaty growths everywhere. Fun!

Solaralith, a Cleric of Unity Aasimar. She leads a group known as Sol Ascensus, which some would classify as an enterprise, while others would say it's a borderline cult. She considers it a "Great Family", however, even if their objectives are rather blurry to most of the populace. It seems she derives her clerical powers from this group, though: Through complicated contracts and rather unethical methods. However, her charismatic facade keeps questions and investigations at bay

So, here she is! This is the alive form of Solaralith, possibly the most terrifying watcher I've done. I wanted her to have that celestial vibe going all along, while remaining fashionable. This pic took forever, tho!

Solaralith kept refusing to die even after transforming into a heap of undead meat so Centi got another big hit, stabbed her right in the back and used Call Lightning right on the dagger!

Solaralith, Aasimar Cleric of Unity. And, uh, just a wonderful person, for sure! Not evil at all! Nothing to worry about! Not running a cult or brainwashing people into her evil schemes! Who wouldn't trust her lovely dainty smile? Would you trust her?

you shouldn’t be here you shouldn’t be here youshouldn’tbehereyoushouldn’t-

So! Today I’m sharing what my players actually found beyond that pit within the mindscape they had been trying to fix. They expected to find a watcher, of course. And they had expected to simply slay it. I guess one gets used to going to a boss chamber and defeating it after a while.

Instead they found absolute darkness and just a few floating steps. And once they advanced, they started to disappear, one by one. And then, they lost their footing and started to fall. And while falling, they found... that thing. Which wasn’t really just a token but the entirety of the battlemap.

I had been wondering how to depict a truly eldritch being in the game, in this sort of dimension known as the Void of Reality, and I figured out a heavy style shift would work wonderfully. I gave them fullbody tokens of their characters, animated so they’d look like they’re falling, and they started a battle with something that... They couldn’t even comprehend. Picture a lot of weird eldritch text around! The creature completely overwhelmed them, and for a moment, it seemed like it’d be just a TPK...

... Until they suddenly were jerked out of the mindspace and back to their bodies, and found Myca -the person whose mindscape they were in- stabbed by the roguelock’s sword, and the hand of her patron wielding it. He wasn’t too happy to murder someone, but it was a matter of saving their lives.

Oh, for some that have followed for longer, that thing is The Queen / Solaralith. Just, uh, in her less cute form.
