(2/2)

Fenris from Dragon Age 2 (Blue Wraith version) arrives at Skyhold, Varric and Tristan (the kid) see him. Varric's not the happiest to see him.

Varric's trying to convice Fenris not to do something stupid like murdering Inquisitor in front of bunch of Orlesian nobles. Cullen's in a protecc mode. Inquisitor hears Fenris out

Fenris tells Inquisitor he needs him to open the Fade for him. Jimbo (my Trevelyan) is a little bamboozled. Varric's freaking out off the camera. Trevelyan offers Fenris a 'safe' passage by keeping a rift open

(1/2) "And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate"

Did I go insane? Yep. But hey... I've wanted to draw that fifth page since last year's March.

The tl;dr summary of tonight's game:

"The Wanting" appeared to be a powerful shadowspawn traveling in shadows. The group moved through the dungeon, passing some saves and failing others. Knock was put to use. Healing was sometimes dangerous. Undead attacked after a trap was set off. #Aurendor #DnD

"I'm not going to make you roll sixty checks." #Aurendor #DnD

"Taria wants to give it back, but does Taria *want* to give it back?" #Aurendor #DnD

"He went from not even bloodied to dead." / "Good." #Aurendor #DnD

"Diagonals are tricky in D&D." #Aurendor #DnD

"Don't try to lie to the person who taught you how to lie, Taria." #Aurendor #DnD

Ah, yes. The fighter/warlock failed a WIS save, turned invisible, and snuck off to set off an obvious trap in a room well away from the one the rest of the group is in. #Aurendor #DnD

"I mean, fuck it. I'll give it a go." #Aurendor #DnD

I love how @erininthemorning.com pulled @zoandbehold.bsky.social into a private chat when they could have just muted and turned to each other to talk since they're sitting side by side. #Aurendor #DnD

"Make a flattery check." #Aurendor #DnD

"I am technically not bloodied. Technically." #Aurendor #DnD

"Taria has intense desires to grab things all of the time." #Aurendor #DnD

"Do you need a rest rest?" / "I caught on fire and am in pain, so yes." #Aurendor #DnD

"I've been better, but I've been worse." / "You've been dead." #Aurendor #DnD

"You're now left with an open door to the next room and a DM who didn't get to throw the enemies that I wanted at you." #Aurendor #DnD

Oh, @erininthemorning.com's face when the wizard just used Knock to completely skip over a whole section of her dungeon. Although he did at least set off a trap in the process. #Aurendor #DnD

"You were really snarky about me not using Mage Hand, but you've been able to open doors all this time!?" #Aurendor #DnD

"It's only a trap if it goes off." / "No, it's always a trap." #Aurendor #DnD

"I have the dwarven thing with rocks." #Aurendor #DnD

"Does the pool of water here look like the same no no water?" #Aurendor #DnD

WWZD? (what would Zhea do?) is apparently the ongoing theme of this dungeon. #Aurendor #DnD

As usual for a Wednesday, I'll be posting about #Aurendor #DnD in this thread the rest of the night.

What's going to happen? Based on past experience: chaos, questionable decisions, and a statistically high number of Nat1s and failed saves. Let's see just what pandemonium we can unleash tonight.

Planettes no.6: Earth!

Jolene (Dolly Parton) but from the horror angle. Jolene is the eldritch siren that's been calling out to him from the woods at night. The narrator is singing this while holding the door as the sun sets, she realizes her shotgun isn't gonna be enough.

Not a single day goes by that I'm not driven to the brink of howling madness by:

A: Videogames being at their most diverse, creative and overwhelmingly numerous as ever.

B: The gaming press being utterly gutted by vulture capitalists, leaving fewer people than ever to try and understand it all.

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.

Leave us the fuck alone.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
