The gang’s all here! Finished up coloring in and adding a background for all three of the PCs in the new D&D campaign we’re in. Left to right we have: 

The Dark Paladin, Deep for short (real name unknown), a human Oathbreaker Paladin played by my fiancee Athena, @iratescientist.

Arylla Darkmantle, ‘Ryl the Wraith’, my half-drow Hexblade/Rogue (still debating between Phantom and Thief) 

Rose Thorne (her stage name; real name unknown), a tiefling Lore Bard played my my sister Cait, @motheatenscarf

Despite the layout the heights are not at all accurate: Arylla is the shortest at like 5′2″, Deep isn’t much taller (5′3″ or 4″ I think) and Rose is like 5′7″ or 8″ even without the horns. 

So far we’re mostly just running around as a bunch of low-level gremlins as is the nature of low-level D&D- even when you run into Plot your available tools are very seat-of-the-pants and your quick thinking is likelier to keep you alive than your spells or hit points. We’ll see how things develop!

Reblogging a bit late (I am not….social media anymore, really?). But look at what Jake did!

Some of the many NPCs from my rifts game. The varying quality depends on when I suddenly remembered I had to draw them before the game. Also, I know it’s a sausage fest but in fairness, every single lady NPC is cooler than these guys put together.

Full view for their names.

Some of The Ladies Of Rifts. L-R: Dawn the Amazon, Crosnia and Tora Amon.

William holds the world record for “oldest character to have to wait 15+ years for a redesign”. But here he is! It was nice to draw him (and Pyre) again.

To my surprise, Hawke translated very nicely into Soul Calibur 6 (outfit and all?!).

“Who could possibly want you dead, Commander?”

“Who could possibly want you dead, Commander?”

“O-oh.”

“Now that you mention it, where’s Lana…?”

Larry finally crosses “shoot a despotic monarch in the back” off his bucket list.

Larry finally crosses “shoot a despotic monarch in the back” off his bucket list.

Larry’s face today, man.

This week, in Rifts!

  • Lan learns of a military base about 10km north that may sell surplus equipment, as reportedly, the NGR had a bit of a “technology boost” recently
  • Rick thinks that sounds very familiar to him…
  • In an attempt to buy holy water from the town’s White Witch, Kyra runs into an old nemesis and tries to bully the old lady in lowering the price. The price only climbs higher
  • Tora offers the team some much needed answers
  • The team finally ventures into the extremely creepy Mainz Abbey!
  • With the aid of Tora, the witch/psychic, they bust into the church where they find it cold, musty and definitely hella haunted
  • As though stricken with a contagious disease, they keep asking her about what she sees and/or referencing her blindness accidentally
  • Mywa, who’s terrified of the whole situation, seeks comfort in his rune sword who only replies: “I’d leave if I could.”. Mywa does not feel better
  • A definitely not creepy Sword of Rot is plunged through the heart of a statue of Jesus, bleeding fresh blood – Tora says clean hands can’t remove it and advises them to ignore it
  • Tora makes friends with a small votive spirit, as the rest of the team tries to figure out just how cursed the rest of the candles are
  • Rick, remembering a terrifying mouth opening up in the middle of the floor in his nightmare, keeps jumping up and down on the floor, trying to get it to cave
  • Upstairs, Kyra finds two interesting books: Yeshua the Bloody and The Great Burn (the latter turned over to Mywa)
  • Rick tries to summon ghosts with a chalkboard, gets impatient and then cusses them all out
  • Rick realizes they might speak German, takes it back, tries to summon ghosts in German, gets impatient, and cusses them all out - in German
  • The team spends a little while admiring the timeless aesthetics and engineering of the big organ, before stealing a gun from a once-suicidal skeleton
  • A tiny flame leads the way
  • In the basement, they take turns throwing things into the boiling holy water (???) as Tora eagerly forges ahead
  • Largely undeterred by the torture chamber, La Cobra finds a few knives and an odd shard of purple crystal with other-worldly implications
  • Lan finds a shrine behind the wall, built as a last ditch effort to hold the evil at bay and gains a cheesy looking angel figurine
  • The final room contains a chasm filled with mutated, demonic corpses
  • Tora stops Kyra from randomly smashing the eerie statue that sits at the altar
  • SUDDENLY BEES! Haha just kidding. It’s a lich prince and several deformed demon corpses
  • No one really has to go to the bathroom anymore
  • The lich screams “Amon!” at Tora and she lets out a laugh that creeps out about 60% of the party
  • Tora’s cane turns into a scythe and she finally blows off a little steam from all the blind jokes
  • Mywa gets into a fight with his rune sword
  • Lan misses the lich and destroys the eerie statue…..it’s probably fine
  • After kicking a knife into the head one one of the crawling demon corpses, La Cobra is almost impressed that it’s still trying to kill him
  • As most of the party seems to have trouble hitting the broad side of a barn, Tora casts necromantic spells and La Cobra continues his love/hate relationship with his favourite demon
  • Kyra manages to crack the side of the lich’s skull with a hammer as La Cobra brings his baseball bat down on it’s crown
  • Rick, with his new Revolver of Kill, shatteres the eye socket of the lich
  • In a tale of poetic justice, everyone goes blind except for Lan and his fancy, futuristic vision
  • La Cobra grounds the lich and manages to grapple it with a kickass wrestling move
  • Mywa is given a rare pep talk by the sword, and is able to shatter the lower ribcage of the lich
  • Kyra furiously stabs in the dark – unfortunately missing the lich, fortunately also missing La Cobra’s face
  • Tora banishes the darkness in time to rip the dried and shrivelled heart of the lich out of it’s body and crush it in her bare hand
  • The broken statue, now unrecognizable, is tossed into the pit as the party leaves
  • As they reach the ground floor again, Mywa and Kyra feel a pulse of nasty energy from the basement, but shrug it off as Tora finally joins them
  • With what might be “unclean” hands, Tora pulls the now un-cursed Sword of Rot from the statue of Jesus and hands it to Lan with a sly smile
  • Kyra and La Cobra nearly suffocate her with a surprise group hug, probably turning her effort to leave town from “soon” to “immediately”
  • Returning to the Inn, the party reconvenes with a dirty, bloody Dahman
  • He brings them a tale, as usual, of dashing heroics, slow motion explosions and gratuitous violence
  • Seeing the slave collars Dahman brought back, Mywa realizes that Doge might be a runaway Atlantian slave
  • Dahman, in a rare moment of truth, tells the party how Dawn saved him and “Proph” from slavery and asks the party for a big ass favour
  • Next stop? The Great Berlin Prison Break

Awkward moments in Larry’s day so far:

- When the Council is waiting for a bow and you’re just trying to remember the lyrics to “We Didn’t Start the Fire”

- When Darth Malgus tells you to help wreck up your already war torn home planet and you’re just wondering where his left sleeve went

- (Not pictured) a crazy awkward speech where you might as well have chanted “We’re Gonna Die! We’re Gonna Die!”

God save me from the 4000 more words I need to push out before I can go to sleep tonight. Q_Q
