Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
-------------------------
This week I wanted to do a gauntlet of enemies so they'll be little story development here in this blog but I will show you some stuff of how we set out battles and what not.
-------------------------
First of all the party were told the weather of the world made it so the clouds were on fire so no-one could fly including Saphira and it caused Wild magic effects of which we used the wild surge magic table to see the effects.
Weedle got an extra hit, Torra did maximum damage, Seferina had blue skin, Saria did necrotic damage to enemies within a radius, Orion teleported, Kalo was covered in grease and slide around everywhere and Sloane yelled everything he spoke.
So the first of many enemies was the Bone Skeleton enemy. It crawled one at first over the side of the boat when dispatched 3 more came up to attack. The party did well making short work of 4 of these enemies with no real challenge to any of them. The players being level 4 and 5 it's not hard to see why. Next to us you can see the sheet I used for the fights.most of the party didn't need to share xp here and took one each for the most part.
Next came the Tentaghoul. This was the sheet used for it, there was only one opponent here, but the party also made short work of this, I don't even believe the creature had more than one turn.
Next up cam 3 Genlocks an alpha and two foot soldiers.
It took a bit longer for the party to disposed of them all. The Genlocks got a few good shots in but otherwise the party were victorious and conquered them all with not much worry. They had to use a bit more placement strategy here too.
Finally the group came to their biggest challenge of Cthurkeys. Each party member had one each and had to best their own. Their own Cthurkey wouldn't attack anyone else but because of their massive health pools it proved difficult for them to handle so many at once, however the long battle started to quicken once the first one fell, and they implemented a opportunity attack strategy since the Cthurkeys didn't have that ability.
----------------
Overall the fights went pretty well. And afterwards the entire party were so tired they just collapsed and fell asleep

Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run. -------------------------------
-------------
Due to the fact I put this off for 3 weeks I forgotten details of the campaign at this point. But I will do my best to remember.
-------------
The first half of the session was filled with fun games and messing around, the party played darts with a medusa lady and won an interesting item/weapon of a morning star each to those who beat here. Everyone did except Sloane and Kalo was the ultimate winner.
They also played a couple of card games and sang and danced raising morale in the boat as it was raining outside. Eventually Seleen called them over to talk, impressing on Weedle that he should speak to Himiko about what has been going on and the fact he is a God. He sadly did so and talked to the rest of the party about Modi, and how they should leave the ship in case of more attacks,the party do agree to this
However before anything could continue much further, A siren had appeared on the ship almost killing Sloane but eventually being killed by Saphira, This sparked a massive debate bringing the Kelpie situation up again, only to be settled with a mum agreement of:
We should take each situation as they come.
This lead to the party taking a long rest to heal their wounds. But they were awoken by the crew panicking again, begrudgingly the party got up, and to the top deck to see none other than the God Poseidon.
He greeted the group in a calm and approaching manner but with an air of authority. Scolding the party for killing the Siren but praising their strength, and revealing he had been testing them from the start of their waterway journey. His final task required them to sail to an island and free the Goddess Bast and her messenger and he would bless them so that no god may harm them on the seas.
The party having no choice and liking the idea of a Gods protection set out to complete Poseidons request. It wasn't as difficult as it may first appeared. Sloane and Saria followed a cat with a key that lead them to a locked temple, unlocking it with the cats key they went inside and solved a light puzzle givinga large stone statue of the messenger of Bast, Boriel, light. He followed them back to the beach and dove into the sea enabling Bast to be in contact again with Posiedon. Poseidon blessed the party and went off with his love.
It was here the last goodbyes were said to the crew of the Weeping wench. Seleen taking Mary with her to travel the seas and keep an eye on the party from a distance, until their net meeting.
Armed with a small vessel and some short supplies, the gang set off on a 12 day journey across the ocean until the next session.

-------------------------------------------
This week we had to change our schedule to a sunday due to some people being away saturday.
-------------------------------------------
The party were delved deeply into a strange and sickly dream of unknown origins.
"A vision of a woman blonde and holding a small baby next to a white tree slowly turning to a normal colour the entire vision gets a slow tint of red like pouring blood. The next thing you see is her running and an acorn necklace swaying as she does so, it’s hard to see her face but shes crying, it staticy cuts to a vision of her on the floor crying and alone in the dark. Next you spiral erratically into this darkness, blobs of unintelligible greys float around until you notice that your n underwater floating as the blues surround you there's also another figure in this water, black silhouetted in front of you, you can’t make out their face.Next specifically Saria you recognise the shadow figure of your nightmarish father with his back to you. And Seferina next to him is your brother, but your brother is covered in blood. The entire image cracks as if it were glass, the shattering glass falls and from the glass you see goober in a mass of acidic flames, madder than you ever seen him in the reflections of the broken shards they blink with a shimmering glisten to reveal all of the party in each individual shard."
And with that the party were awoken to the news that one of their crew members tried to kill or hurt people in their sleep. Unable to understand why they were merely told to lock the son of a bitch in the brig, and there they discovered a sorcerer below deck, they managed to convince Seleen to let him go free for now at least.
So together they work on the ship some more. They find the wreckage of a ship nearby with items and odd bits floating their way including:
A Barrel floats past the ship, it contains a fine wine
A coffin floats past, covered in barnacles. If the players choose to haul it onto the ship they will find the word "CASSIUS" is engraved above the lock. Inside rests a long-forgotten vampire who will attack the crew one-by-one at night if aboard the ship.
A ball on a chain floats past. However the ball has been covered in extremely hard barnacles making it sharp, allowing it to be used as a spiked flail.
They eventually come across the newly destroyed ship and Forty-odd bodies immediately float to the surface with that as a warning sign suddenly 4 Kalka Kylla attack.
They fight along and hard battle between them all but eventually the party manage to destroy all 4. However it doesn't mean that this was over. Soon after a Kelpie surfaced. Viscous and brutal it attacked everyone on deck. Weedle in a fit of blind rage wanted to murder the beast while everyone else seemed to want to spare it. Eventually they did show mercy, the party asked why Weedle was so hell bent on killing the creature. He said that the same Kelpie was the one that almost drowned his child. Frustrated at him that he didn't tell them before now, they all took the long rest they deserved if not on some annoyed terms.
In the morning they got to hear Weedles explanation, he admired the group for their ability to show mercy where he couldn't. He didn't want to take revenge on the creature despite his rage as what would that achieve?
Torra and Sloane accepted this explanation but Kalo did not, Weedle and Kalo would have to talk more and bond over faerie dragon rejection before a truce was to be had.
Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
----------------------------
Firstly I'd like to apologise for having this specific blog be late. It maybe cut down to bare minimum of what I can remember too.
----------------------------
The first thing our gang was greeted by was PIRATES who woke our party and dragged them up to the top deck. Kalo and Weedle were left below deck to be searched as above Saria and Sloane were tied and contained while Mary Drake and the pirate captain Seleen, fought it out on the deck.
But once Weedle and Kalo came out from below deck, Seleen caught off guard stopped fighting for a moment, to be interrupted by Ship mimics.
Reluctant to give up her pride but having no choice, she and her crew sailed off to fight alongside Mary and her ship. to fight off the on coming swarm.
One after the other the Vex destroyed all the ships coming in in one volley of canon fire from the 3 decks of guns.
However when all the fighting was done Weedle ended up being trapped under the deck by a fallen mast.
No-one able to lift the bloody thing Mary and Seleen both yelled the party to get off as the fires created in the fighting would set the cargo of oil and tar on fire, exploding the ship and the gunpowder inside.
Sloane in a last ditch attempt managed to convince goober to rip open the ship and go inside after Weedle.
The ship exploding everyone looked on in anticipation for Weedle's return. Fortunately he did with Goober in tow.
There was little time to rest on the laurels though as Weedle revealed he was trapped under the deck on purpose by a mysterious assaulter!
After pointing him out in a crowd he attempted to run, one of the crew members grabbed him to stop him but immediately he was killed in cold blood.
Everyone now keeping distance they watched as the man was revealed to be Modi, Son of Thor who simply said to Weedle:
“You are going to die for what you’ve done. You maybe more slippery than I thought...But one way or another...you will.”
Leaving that haunting message Seleen stayed composed and yelled to the others to get back to work.
After a short discussion and getting back to work the ship sailed for an island, since the crew of this new ship is now a 1/3 bigger they needed supplies to accommodate.
The party were tasked to go out into the island and explore to find food, drink and maybe even treasure.
Saria sent out Bloo to go ahead(her own companion) and the gang came across a couple of traps in the island in their attempt to gain treasures which they managed to figure out, gaining a lot of loot and a lot of valuables. Eventually they came across a coral reef with a load of edible crabs so took a few about 20 and then noticed that Saria's owl had not returned. They went in search of it to find it had been caught in a spider den.
Despite the fact Weedle was useless in this fight they managed to successfully destroy them all and decided to head back before it got dark. On the journey back they came across a strange pink lake that seemingly didn't let anything sink, in this lake was a giant peach that floated init. Inside they discovered treasure strangely enough and took a few pounds of the ripe peach to take back.
Once they finally returned to camp the crew were singing a particular song that got a specific red haired lady to appear once more....that totally freaked out Weedle and Kalo to the point where tonight...they would not sleep so well at all...
Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
---------------------------------------
Everyone was here this week for the epic ship adventure to come!
The journey this session took our gang into the deeper parts of the ocean. They traveled about 450 miles, 4 of the hours were spent resting, but this means the ships speed was about 18 miles an hour. Meaning the wind speed was up and the ships engine was working wonders. Overall a pretty productive day for them. Travelling almost double the speed of a normal route and getting about 1/3 of the way over the sea to Waestow.
---------------------------------------
Day 25 and we begin sailing on the open seas. The gang is woken to the crew gasping in awe at a strange pod of dolphins that swim up beside the ship. Unfortunately none of the gang were able to animal handle the beasts so it wasn't long before they left to be on their way in the world.
The captain called them up to the top deck and told them to get to work fishing for food. Although only one person had a license most of the gang quickly snuck turns taking a punt at fishing.
Sloane caught a ghost and a talking fish who was determined to convince them he wasn't a fish.
Saria caught a golden fish who will give her money every morning
Sefrina caught a large Abeloth scale which is worth a pretty penny
And Kalo caught a large tentacle of some kinda unknown squid beast.
Suddenly as they were fishing they hear panic from the crew. A member particularly a firebolg fell overboard and into the sea.
The captain immediately club hauled the ship to turn right back round and Sloane dived into the sea to grab the man pulling him back up to safety.
The gang got Sloane warm again, who retracted a farting disease from the cold water and were told to look over the sides of the ship to inspect for any predators.
There was none as they inspected, but they caught a horrible whiff of something,as they approached the smell it was revealed from the boggy fog a large corpse of a dragon turtle floating in the sea.
The crew and gang inspected the large beast, Sloane and Weedle were the first to see a large burn mark over the beast, the source of its death and as the ship floated around the corpse a message was actually etched into the creatures skin.
"Hello Valí"
In a panic Weedle demanded to be turned round but it was too late. Torra, Seferina and Weedle were struck by lightning. Torra although downed used her half orc abilities to force herself back up and cast spare the dying on Seferina. Weedle although injured figured he needed to buy some time.
As the sky geared up to strike again Weedle held up the Javelin of Lighting to absorb the blow, the magic as the lightning struck again however was too powerful and overwhelmed the item causing it to explode and get to Weedle. Weedle now gravely injured got told now to take a short rest with Torra and Seferina to regain some vitality.
-------------------------------------------
They woke up about in the evening time. Again the crew were panicking, however this time it was over a monster who flopped up on deck to munch on the fish they caught. Taking a calm approach everyone accept from Kalo calmed the beasts down and Weedle decided to ride on them asking everyone to join him.
With everyone on a beast and Kalo on her dragon, while Torra watched them all, they all shared a beautifully serine moment on the sea in front of the moon.
They all got off the beasts eventually gaining inspiration from the moment and were pumped and read to go. It wasn't long before another fog rolled in not long after this,covering the stars the captain didn't know where to look,but there were some strange undead like glowing orbs that lead the way to a strange spire in the middle of the sea.On top of a spire,a mysterious man pointed North, Seferina the only one who understood this nodded and then the man in a dramatic flare disappeared with the fog.
The crew and ship decided to follow the mans direction sending up at a suddenly icy part of the sea, this doesn't happening the sea normally so they suspected magic. It ended up getting them stuck in the ice, but something stirred underneath, Sefrina and Torra fell in the water as the ice shook, everyone quickly grabbed them and scrambled up onto the boat to see a rather large giantess emerge from the sea.
She smiled at Weedle in particular picking up the ships he moved it out of her area of effect and waved them goodbye, not saying a word.
Weedle grew suspicious of the large women having a strange sense of familiarity from her, He decided to take some books and get to reading with the rest of the gang below deck.
Here Sloane began to discuss things with Goober, the demon he pacted with, He tried to ask him questions about himself managing to even get his name out of him,Which is Nothrok. However Sloane pushed the demon too far, making him feel things he had no comprehension of. The demon now enraged attacked the gang, knocking Saria down and refusing to listen to everyone, even if they got high rolls. It was a mess and no-one knew what to do He was burning holes in the ship and he was going to kill Sloane.
The captain emerged however,chanting something in a demonic language. The demon entranced started to sing back, actually calm and listening, Then she pushed Goober back into Sloane with a sigil. She was enraged, forcing the gang into her quarters to explain themselves, where Torra told the captain to throw Sloane overboard.
This frustrated Weedle immensely and he confronted Torra about it saying that his family were not expendable.
Everyone too scared shocked or angry now to talk sense, just went to bed.
-------------------------------
At this point the gang had had a bit of a falling out, so they decided to talk to each other, Sloane talked to Torra a bit and Weedle also talked to Torra. Saria showed off her new space within her hat to everyone and it was decided that for a while and to bond they played truth or dare. It was fun and they really enjoyed having a good time together. It left the morning feeling better than the mess that happened not 8 or so hours before.
Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided recently to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
---------------------------------------
Unfortunately one of our players was absent today but we had a blast with out campaign still. It was focused and I really enjoyed doing it! Also sorry this blog is late. I just totally got wrapped up in other things!
---------------------------------------
It's now day 24 of the journey since starting in never winter. Everyone woke up in the alley to find Kalo and Saria changed but alive!
Kalo now dons a new red scarf and Saria dons a very intimidating mask.
But no worse for the ware the group share a few laughs and hugs before Baba comes to inform them of her exploits. She told them The prison masters, the Drow and the Mindflayer, agreed to have Baba watch over you from now on with the blessing of the gods you are absolved of sin. The strange judge like creature they encountered and prosecuted them however is not too convince.
With that however Baba left and the crew decided to go checkup on Ed after everything that happened.
He looked terrible, bloodied and battered from the fight before. The group said their sorry's as well as Ed himself. They told him their names and their plans and wishing them good luck in future and that he is now in their service: He, Harshad and Dolan all left the Abbey to go recover And tend to Torra who had gotten bitten by Ed too.
--------------------------------------
So the gang Finally left too, to go deal with Ranga in the Prison. The gang came across a couple of interesting encounters too of which were:
A beggar who played music and bless Kalo with good luck with money.
A parade of guards taking in prisoners of which Sloane did nothing
A house on fire with two people inside of which Sefrina and Kalo saved. Weedle got a gold ring from the orc woman trapped in the fire
Saved an old man from having a stroke. Of which Sefrina got the gold
A gnome exploded his tinkering toy almost getting Seferina and Weedle. Saria and Sloane managing to save them both with two Nat 20s
Once all this was over they arrived at the prison door where two very talkative statue creatures posed them a riddle of which they answered fairly quickly to enter the prison.
The two statue guards
After going through some paperwork and business routine they were set up with a meeting with Ranga.
--------------------------------------
Ranga on the other side of the glass that separated them taunted them and posed very interesting questions and situations. Thinking Weedle would join him he told him of his plan. He was indeed disappointed to see Weedles reaction.
Ranga
You see, his plan was to steal both half's of the branding iron to summon Brokkr and Eistri. He wanted them both to fashion him a weapon much like Mjolnir that could kill Gods. Weedle being a God himself obviously didn't like the idea but Ranga made a good point:
"You think I’m just going to sit by and let them destroy me and everything else in their wake as they tear us all up in their little war?" “They will kill tens of hundreds of THOUSANDS of us. And they will be killing each other anyway….Why not have a little defense on our end against it all?”
The argument was undeniable but the methods were barbaric. Having heard enough Weedle had to threaten Ranga before leaving. Ranga giving a final laugh before he did so.
------------------------------------------
Leaving this horrible encounter behind them the gang set off to a tavern called th Broke Wand to find a captain. They indeed did find a woman who was willing to take them, but only if they got rid of the Brownie from her house which had turned into a boggart and wrecked the place!
After much deliberation and the Boggart being a tricksy little bastard, the team managed to quell the angry fey with some delicious honey no worse for the wear. Having agreed to the deal the Captain took the gang and with hesitation the Brownie too to her ship: The Vex.
After discovering most of the gang (Saria, Seferina, Torra and Kalo) actually would get sea sick, they set off...ready to brave the seas.....
Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided recently to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
--------------------------------
This week we have a new person to the campaign! Check out the Player List To see the newest member of the cast!
--------------------------------
The gang after a long day of worry and questioning woke up to the sound of the abbey bells and made their way outside to Baba the ArchCleric who aided them yesterday.
She told them that she would go as their ambassador to Grimsby the town of which they escaped from to aid them and appeal for their redemption. However she wasn't going to leave without helping them, she told her apprentice cleric Torra to look after them especially Weedle as he is the King.
With a new loyal friend in tow the gang decided to return to the monastery to clean up all the mess they had made the day prior. Seeing master Uwugway again and getting a warm greeting.
Mind
The party worked together in unison to help build the monastery up back to it's original working state, pleased Uwugway gave them all pendants each for a chakra they struggled with and gave them luck on their journey. He decided also, to leave and help them in Grimsby as he couldn't finish their training, but for all they have done and the courage they had shown, he grew fond of them and wanted to see them succeed, so he left too for Grimsby.
--------------------------------
The gang returned back to Whitby, gather and buying supplies for their journey ahead. When suddenly as they were going toward the pet shop, the Tabaxi Paladin from before, Mind comes rushing out chasing a thief. The gang manage to capture him and restrain him when the man is revealed to be Ranga: a tiefling Weedle and Kalo know from way back. Ranga starts taunting Weedle. Riling up the gang and spouting cryptic words eventually telling them to meet him in the prison if they want to know more about whats going on...He stole a strange poker, half of a two piece ironing brand. Mind returns the relic to the museum from whence it came, and the heroes journey onward to the pet shop where they have a look around and browse the menagerie. Once they had their fill of creatures, Dolan and Harshad, two tieflings, come to them expressing how their druid friend Edmund had gone missing,and their clues lead them to the racing ring on the outskirts of town, Agreeing the help the party follow suit.
--------------------------------
The racecourse
Soon the party arrived into the gambling racing den, discovering a few secrets undercover for example where they kept the monsters, and the fact that the gang boss/owner has a demon in there too. They couldn't find Ed tho so they went back up to watch the race, Ed was here, there were a few werewolves that ran in the race, getting slaughtered or killed as they went, luckily Ed stayed alive.
Dolan suggested he teleported them down there so he did, the gang managed to get ed free but then they had to fight him being a werewolf it made it super difficult. He ended up really hurting a few people and even biting Torra the new member of the party infecting her. So the gang came up with a plan to distract him, running out into the coliseum arena, Sloane managed to set a gas off that was used to put the animals to sleep after fights and thankfully Ed was taken away by Dolan and Harshad.
The party, left behind and now scaring all the spectators off were left with a Mindflayer and the gang boss. He commanded the Mindflayer to control half of the party, one by one they had to be snapped out of the command. Two of the party members ended up dying in the process, so everyone had to be dragged back to the abbey to re cooperate and be resurrected.
Hello everyone! and welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided recently to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
So firstly, the gang woke up in the Sanctuary (Working on the article for that) Ready again early to learn. This time it was the solar plexus chakra they were going to get into.
Third Day: Solar Plexus
They continued their training and cleansed it by:
They were told to do things they wouldn't normally do (Specifically Saria and Weedle) Saria was told to tell people about what she immediately things/to be impulsive. And Weedle was told to do some sparring.
They also pained out their anger while Weedle punched Sloane so hard he ended up crying.
They were also told to make fun of each other and ended up getting paint everywhere!
Finally they were told to set some goals together and help each other achieve them before going to bed.
The training continued here however...Something happened that no-one expected. The turtle who we have called master Uwugway had decided to take them through the forest for some more nature therapy. They came across cool things like broken trails of large creatures and wild horses around a ruined tower. However what actually caught their interest specifically Seferina and Weedle was a strange spiralling stone circle that drew them in like moths to a flame. Figuring it was some kind of fae trap the party concocted a plan sending Weedle in after Seferina to grab her and stop her from going to the center of the circle. After a lot of delay and debate the party managed to keep them from going further, however a portal had opened up beneath them, and a fae gatekeeper climbed out. He spoke sylvan at first to Weedle then adressed the others, he said he'd let these two go if they entertained him, Kalo and Sloane danced but the Gatekeeper started to play music. The music charmed them both to not stop dancing which exhausted Kalo. Luckily Saria managed to knock the flute away to give them a chance to breathe. Annoyed but not going to go against his word, he let Seferina and Weedle go from the trance and began to return to the land of the fae accepting that they didn't want to go there. Before he left he said this however:
"You" Indicating to Weedle. "You're Vali aren't you?" Weedle didn't know what he was talking about and so as he left he began to laugh.
Confused by this the party took their leave as Master Uwugway searched the forest for more fae paths like this one but as they traveled home Weedle began to look more and more ill and tired.
Eventually they reached the Sanctuary where the party explained what happened to the other monks, but then Weedle grew worse. He became incredibly hot and despite everyone's best attempts his shortness of breath seemed to get worse.
Suddenly markings began to appear as well all along his body etching their way into his skin now glowing a bright blue. Before anyone could act Weedle like an imploding bomb burst with energy the force knocking everyone back, Saria knocked out completely and the building collapsed in on itself.
The day had turned dire. Weedle now in a comatose state and everyone else injured or otherwise got out from the rubble to find him unresponsive.The monks now furious and concerned gravely asked the party why this happened to which to party's response was that:
"Weedle is a God. We don't know what happened but it felt like God magic."
Utterly shocked and baffled the monks were shook by the news, when Master Uwugway returned he suggested that everyone go to Whitby town to find an arch cleric to help their friend. Everyone agreed to go on Kalos dragon Saphira to the town since Gold dragons are respected by most.
Quickly they rode into town coming across a Tabaxi Paladin (Will do a picture soon) who was happy to help them. When they arrived at the Abbey the Clerics were suspicious of the party's deceptive nature but upon seeing Weedle took them seriously and went to go find the Arch Cleric.
After taking along rest the party was summoned to meet the Arch Cleric. Her name is Baba and she was the North's Royal Cleric while during Weedle's coronation. She recognized him and quickly sent the party to go find a mind flayer while she gather ingredients to try wake him from the coma.
A map of the Journey. About 41 miles were traveled.
The party went in the town of Whitby to search for a mind flayer. Going to the first Inn they saw "The Weary Maiden" and finding none other than Dolan the Celebrity bard and Harshad Kalo's fiancé in the bar making merry. After a short conflict between Kalo and her anxieties to see her boyfriend again, they party followed Dolan to a shop called Addin and Jacobs Oddities, an alchemy shop ran by a Mindflayer called Jacob. After discovering that Jacob has bad memory issues due to the fact he doesn't consume memories anymore and having a back an forth between him because of it. Eventually Sloane managed to convince Jacob to come along after consuming his memories to get some awareness back to him.
They party returned to the Abbey where Weedle was being held. When Jacob read Weedles mind he repeated in a low voice almost an unnatural one:
Bróðir
Einn hafa koma til ek
Vér vera varða
Finna ek
Saria managed to translate this using the spell comprehend languages as:
Brother
You must come to us
We are waitingFind us.
After the spooky message was told, the party was unnerved. They attempted to make Weedle wake up by different methods. But Baba took the reigns and managed to wake him up fully with a strange ritual using a Briar heart, Ice salts from a Wraith, Human flesh, Lace Wings and Ectoplasm.
This worked Waking Weedle up, but now tired and confused the party all went into the Abbey to rest on their well deserved laurels.
Hello everyone! and Welcome to my blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided recently to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
Firstly, the party had arrived at the monk monastery. I never got to design or concept the monastery itself but i got a basic layout of my head of what it looks like here:
The Monastery of Balance
The party had spent the night in the place. They were trained and greeted by a Tortle Monk NPC (See picture) Who would guide them through the first of the Chakra's. I still haven't come up with a name for him yet so suggestions would be appreciated! He is a patient and dexterous guy for someone so big and bulky and he's really enjoying spending time with the party, even though as you will learn some hostilities were formed. The monk is willing to help wherever he can. I will consider doing a sheet for him for you to access later!
First Day: First Chakra
The group started firstly with the root chakra. They did the following activities to help cleanse it:
They went outside taking off their shoes and practiced earthing
They observed nature and took in their surroundings to calm down
Drank some tea and discussed their fears.
Faced their fears: Spiders, Darkness and small spaces
They went to a cave to confront the darkness fear
However here is where it derailed. One of the players had been turned into a man because of their reincarnation at one of the start of the sessions,and the party just now found out distracting them completely from their training. This disrespected the monk and he took them back and gave them a stern talking to.
He had to hold a council with the other monks to decided weather or not the party should stay.
Some of the party apologized on the day while others waited after a long rest to form a proper apology.
Second Day Second Chakra
The group luckily managed to convince the tortles to stay and they promised to learn and pay more respect. However Weedle, the NPC who is in the party, was disgruntled by everyones actions and took some time to himself.
The party continued and went on to train for the second chakra and did these activities:
Explored creative expression. The party members cooked painted wrote poetry etc and shared it between each other.
Discussed emotional triggers and practiced emotional catharsis by learning some self defense from the monk.
Discussed sex and their sexual desires.
After a long session this is where it ended, but despite the conflict and derailing the session was super fun, and I can't wait to continue the story.
I am debating weather or not to continue the chakra training or move on however. Well have to see how I feel on Saturday!

Hello everyone! and Welcome to my new blog. I am a self employed artist who has decided recently to start their own blog! This blog will be dedicated to All my work in regards to DND! So story, art and concepts I come up with and the campaigns I run.
OK so this session went pretty well. We had a few good laughs and even ended up making someone cry so I guess that's a bonus? To summarize what happened: the party after last session's kidnapping took it upon themselves to stay off the main roads since they are escaped convicts technically with a bounty over their heads now. Their goal for the session was to get to a monastery of monks who could absolve them of their transgressions spiritually so their bounty would be cleared.
From the Sessions journey
From the map indicated You can see the group traveled a great distance in 2 days. The first day they traveled about 190 miles in the first day. They all have mounts however so my estimate is that they traveled a minimum of 15 mph on day one, which doesn't account for battles and or terrain.
The tasks undertaken on this first day were:
They restocked their missing items from the prison.
They gathered some plants and herbs in the woodland
They came across a long bridge over a small lake.
Came across some strange magical bird statues that caused a thunderstorm which electrocuted some of them.
Took the path up at a crossroads.
Came across an ox and a giant Ettin and defeated it.
Found a tree with a missing apple from one bowl of two shrines, they put another apple in the bowl and some Kodama's told them they went in the wrong direction.
Here they took a long rest.
One the second day tasks under taken were:
Another Ettin came and was defeated.
They backtracked and went back to the crossroads this time going down to the beach.
Came across 4 monsters 3 fern lizards and one slime and defeated them. This K.O'D two players but they were revived.
They took a short rest here.
They wen fishing and npc caught a monster Angler Fish which was defeated but ended up murdering one of the players.
They went to monastery as player was reincarnated into a half orc
Rested and began their spiritual enlightenment process but became emotional and needed to rest.
Session Ended here.
On the second day they traveled about 120 miles so a minimum of 10 mph was their speed. Overall a very productive session. It was a shame that someone died. However in our campaign we handle death as follows:
"Normal Death save rules apply, if upon all 3 fails he player may get reincarnated only only after level will they be able to be resurrected and handle higher level spells. However to prevent people from dying constantly, it will also take away a wisdom point. When you reach -4 you are unable to come back from the dead."
I think the emotional highlight was at the end when the party was getting an essential therapy session to absolve them of their transgressions and one of the player characters just started to cry. It was very sweet but also sad. The whole angler fish part was totally unplanned too. But for an unscripted event it was hilarious since it ate 3 of the player characters. They also seemed to like the Kodama characters so I'll be sure to use that again.
If you have any questions or ideas or comments please do so below! I'd love to see peoples response to what they think!
I will also consider doing a post dedicated to the player characters involved in the campaign, so people can refer to them if need be.
