Bat of the day! Native to my Home State

I will continue out of spite. If anyone wants to take me out that badly, they will have to get their hands dirty and do it themselves! If they wish me miserable, they will have to wipe off my Joker smile with their own two hands!

A standard dungeon but the fey decided to troll the adventurers by polymorphing every creature in there into rats and let them run around. You can attack the rats and with enough damage, they will turn back into the usual dungeon enemies but no one’s in their right place so you have no idea who/what will pop out.

The kobolds who were guarding the entrance? The prisoners you came to save? A spider that was just chilling in the dungeon? The final boss you need to kill? You have no way of knowing until you smack the rat!

(For more randomness, a GM makes a set of cards with all the creatures and players randomly draw them so that no one knows what’s next.)

It's Yuma.... Johnny Yuma

once again thinking about gregor and ares' brief divorce arc, it's honestly unbelievably funny. they're so violence kill and then they aren't speaking for like. a day. but then after that they're completely ride or die for each other

like this is so funny. they're so stupid. then the next time they interact gregor had just hit all the blood balls and ares is whisking him away from everybody and they're besties again

the diggers will remember this

OK SO I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN THE RAIN AT 2AM AND I SAW AN ANIMAL RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD AND SO I GRABBED IT AND

IT WAS THIS

to be honest, I think the author missed an opportunity here. In the passage after the party recovered from the wild currents; Gregor making a joke potentially might not have been enough to snap Thalia out of her spiral, which heightens the urgency of the party to help the lil'bat.

Cue Hazard hugging Thalia, and then reciting the bonding oath, holding her thumb claw, providing extra stability which she could latch onto. Significant emotional moment... And then, later, she perishes. And Hazard can't help her. None of the party can help her. Maybe she even dwells on that tiny glimmer of hope that she'd wake up again, emerge from the state of intense panic that must have infused her final moments, similar to that the wind chamber experience... Hazard helped her recover from that, he'll be there to guide her through this, right?

Marks of Secret, pretty much

they shoulda just gone on that dang picnic
