When Lunareth offered a YCH commission with sunflowers there was only one choice in my mind. Tetyana's outfit was inspired by some traditional clothes from Ukraine, with some twists.
Reality is often messy and dreary, but despite the war I see a lot of hope and a will to endure to see better times in Ukraine and its people.
@suntiger745 requested:
The scene on the duergar boat when going to Grymforge, where the PC does a badass sidelook/over the shoulder look, but shirtless. Then show it to Karlach. Maybe Shadowheart or Gale makes a minor illusion if the moment. Unless Karlach was on the boat. :)
Karlach very much appreciates the view. ;)
Giving Lae'zel a sith lord aesthetic worked even better than I had hoped. :D
And Shadowheart with a Justiciar mask looks pretty good too.
Even if it clips a bit with her bangs...
More Huntrix in Faerûn. It's finally time to go into the shadow-cursed lands.
Techincally it's day, but the sky is constantly overcast and the shadows holds a darkness more oppressive than any normal shadows would or should have. The honmoon/not-honmoon of this world is present as before to the eyes of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, but oddly colorless everywhere except in themselves, their companions and their weapons. The barrier isn't gone, but seems worn and stretched, like old fabric that's been washed too many times.
But, there are people here. If not living here, then at least passing through.
They are clearly tense and wary, weapons at the ready when they spot Rumi.
And with good reason. One of them gets a bit too far from the light, and is grabbed by the shadows.
Worse still, he comes back. Changed, corrupted. To the Huntrix vision his soul has been twisted, different to how demons from their world looks, but twisted and wrong regardless. And unlike most of Gwi'ma's demons this one does not bother to hide it.
The fight is fairly quick. More shadows appear, but between the radiant lights from Shadowheart and Karlach as well as the soul weapons of the three demon hunters they are defeated. The damage is more mental, the grief evident in the Harpers' eyes at the loss of their comrade. Layered upon loss already there from previous fights.
Still, their leader Lyssandra offers them sanctuary in a place close by that is protected from the darkness.
A wary reception as before, but Lyssandra steps forward to vouch for them.
Not entirely placated even with reassurance from one of their own, they call upon their leader, whose name makes Karlach gasp in recognition.
An older woman with two scimitars on her back turns to face them. Rumi, Mira and Zoey can se vividly the warm, multicolored glow of her soul. It reminds Rumi of Celine in some ways, but... more. Older, wiser.
As the woman turns to face them, they see a face lined with both pain and laughter and although there is a great warmth in her soul, there is cold steel in her eyes as she regards Rumi, looking her up and down.
And much like the soulblades Huntrix use, positive emotions honed into a weapon to protect, the woman summons nature into a weapon. The honmoon dances within the vines, glad to do her bidding as it wraps Rumi's legs and locks them in place. It does not crush them though, not yet.
There is tension in the air, Jaheira questioning Rumi and demanding to know why a True Soul would walk into their sanctuary bold as a cat.
The tadpole in the jar reacts excitedly to their presence, and the situation teeter on the edge of breaking out into violence when help arrives from an unexpected place.
Mol, the leader of the child thieves from the grove runs out to proclaim them saviours. And fortunately, it seems her word carries some weight with Jaheira.
The old druid demands to know how they still have their free will intact, and after a look at the group behind her for approval, Rumi takes out the gith artifact and starts to explain all that's happened to them so far.
A tentative trust established, they agree that their goals align and that an alliance is the best way forward for both their groups.
More Huntrix in Faerûn. I got distracted for a bit and made like 10 new characters in between.
Grymforge
"No way... they have a gundam!?"
Sovereign Spaw was quite pleased that they brought back Nere's head. Rumi and Mira was surprised how ok Zoey was with the whole "bring back his head" idea. They were pretty squicked out about it.
Though, the myconids put on a really nice dance party after that.
There was a brief detour to a Zentharim hideout.
It ended poorly, for the Zentharim.
And then they made their way to the mountain pass, where the githyanki creche was supposed to be.
They met a scholar knight who wanted them to steal a githyanki egg.
That got a big nope, so they moved towards the monastery itself.
More Huntrix in Faerûn. Or maybe I should say Fae-run, since we're helping Lae'zel.
The monastery had quite a few interesting things in and around it. Giant eagles.
Genie lamps.
A Guardian of Faith. (I'm really annoyed that I messed up and took a Steam screenshot rather than a photomode screenshot.)
Gremishka. This is afterwards. Zoey and Shaowheart tried to pet them. It got messy.
And eventually, the creche.
Faerûn and it's varied people had been a lot for the three terrans to take in, but even among elves, goblins, gnomes, a dragon and a giant metal construct, the githyanki stood out.
And yet, looking a little closer, they were very much people too.
And then they got to the infirmary and the doctor. Lae'zel called her a ghustil.
(Somehow, even though she almost always do ranged attacks, Zoey always end up bloody.)

With the Demon Hunter's daggers having 'Homing weapon' that returns it to your hand after they are thrown, it was the best way I could mimic how Zoey fights with her Shinkal ritual daggers.
It is a very powerful ability, and my party has more people in it, so I also have the More enemies + minibosses mods to compensate for my party being a complete wrecking ball.

More Huntrix in Faerûn. :)
Mira: "Why didn't you tell us about this?!" Rumi: "How could I?! We had a plan to fix it! To fix me, with the golden Honmoon!" Zoey: "We... we would have listened if you told us Rumi! Do you, do you have more secrets you haven't told us?" Karlach: "Hey, calm down girls! This might be related to something the hag did. Take it from someone who was forced to fight for one of the Archdevils in the Hells; don't be too quick to judge." Gale: "In this case I think Mira and Zoey have some valid concerns, Karlach. There is no trace of Mystra's weave on her, nor the magic of the Fey. Whatever Ethel did, it didn't change Rumi, merely dispelled an illusion."
Gale: "If I may ask, what exactly is the nature of these demon patterns you refer to? And the change in her left eye. Any solution we will find must come from first understanding the issue." Zoey: "I don't know what to think! All we have ever been taught is that everything that has these patterns are demons who wants to eat human souls and tear open the Honmoon so their king can come through and rule our world. And eat more souls." Mira: "And now we find out our best friend has been lying about being-" Rumi: "I'm not one of them! I'm not, I swear! Mira, please! You know me! Zoey! I would never work for Gwi'ma! I want to protect our world, to make the Honmoon golden and seal away the demons!" Karlach: "Alright, I don't deny this is some serious shit you're going through but I have seen you fight. It's really hard to lie when you're fighting for your life, and Rumi is one of the good ones. I'd stake my engine on it!"
Gale did a series of gestures and spoke a few words as he held out a hand towards Rumi, who flinched instinctively. Zoey and Mira reflexively started to bring their weapons up to defend her, then faltered, uncertain. The spell flowed over Rumi, flecks of gold glittering across her skin and clothes for a few moments before disappearing. Gale: "Well, for what it's worth, Rumi posses none of the signature markers of someone who eats souls. In fact she shows no sign of someone even capable of it. By the standards of any magic that I know, and my knowledge on the subject is quite vast." Rumi looked at Zoey and Mira, her eyes wet but no tears falling. Rumi: "How could I say anything? Our faults and fears must never be seen. Look at me! I am a fault, a mistake. Have been since the moment I was born." Karlach visibly bristled, reaching out to hug Rumi and then remembered herself, pulling back before she could scorch her. "Nine Hells girl! That's not true! You can't help how you're born! It's what you do that decides if you're good or a complete shithead! You're a good person!"
Shadowheart had not spoken a word during the unfolding situation, but her eyes and ears were following every word and motion with wariness and keen interest. Lae'zel spoke up for the first time, having also been a silent observer until now. "Your debate about your natures will have to wait. A hag is an enemy that you cannot allow to escape, and make no mistake the hag is now our enemy. We must give chase and kill her." Gale nodded in agreement. "I wouldn't have put it quite so bluntly, but I fear Lae'zel's judgement is correct. A green hag is a formidable adversary, and they are famous for holding grudges."
The situation was clearly not resolved, but Mira nodded and a beat behind her Zoey did too. Karlach led the way through the fireplace, the illusion once shielding the entrance the a tunnel with stairs behind it now gone. The atmosphere was tense as they descended the stairs and as they stepped onto the floor, Ethel stepped out from a shadowed alcove to meet them. "Well well, I see I made a mistake in thinking you had anything useful between those ears. This is my home and you-!" Karlach interrupted. "Where's that girl, Mayrina? We're getting her out of here!" Ethel ignored her and focused on Rumi. Ethel: "So how did things go? Isn't it much better now that you have cleared the air, little demon?"
Rumi glared at the hag. "I'm not a demon! My father was one, but I am a hunter, like my mother!" She heard Zoey gasp behind her but didn't dare take her eyes of Ethel, who grinned toothily in response. "Well if you don't want to have anything to do with your demon heritage, I can pluck that pretty peeper out of your skull. The eye of a demon mongrel has many uses."
For a moment Rumi hesitated. She didn't relish the thought of loosing an eye, but if it meant she could be rid of her demonic side? Perhaps it was worth- An arrow with the tip glowing purple whizzed past her head, fired from Lae'zel's bow and going straight for the hag's head. Ethel raised a hand and the arrow bounced harmlessly off the magical barrier she had just made. "That was a very stupid move, githyanki." the hag snarled. She raised a hand and in a flash of green energy teleported away.
Carefully the group advanced into the natural grotto. Their lightsources soon illuminated the alcoves along the walls, revealing one horror after the other.
The cruelty visited on the people was unlike anything Huntrix had seen except from what Celine had told them of the demon king himself. Mira's grip was whiteknuckled on her gok-do. Karlach shot her a sympathetic glance. "I know it's bad, but don't worry. We can take her!" Rumi didn't say anything, but she knew it wasn't fear that made Mira grip her weapon so tightly. She was angry, bottling it up until she could unleash it on the hag. Zoey was more visibly affected, looking very sad especially over the dead elven woman who had her eyes plucked out. Gale reached out to put an supportive hand on her shoulder. "There are many cruel people and wicked magic being done in this world Zoey, but never forget that there are good people who perform great feats with that same magic too. Thanks to us, both the tieflings and the druids were saved from a fate much like this."
In a final touch before they got the door to Ethel's inner lair to open, Rumi was hit by a spell, a red glow flickering over her skin and making her stagger, nausea gripping her. "Auagh... Oh no... I feel like I ate a kimbap that's been laying out in the sun for two weeks."
Shadowheart examined her, concluding that it wasn't anything lethal but that they also didn't have anything available, magical or mundane, that could cure her. Rumi gritted her teeth, bent over a bit but determined. "We continue. I feel sick, but I can fight. What Lae'zel said is right, we must take her down."
