Cauldron of Blood | 1968

[thecrowinggriffon]

I never quite like the latest cauldron of blood mini. I find it too bulky an impractical. It's also just too massive to be pulled by two witch elves. The old version from 6th edition was better in it's simplicity, but lacked mobility. So I 3D printed some parts and converted a cauldron on spiderlegs! Very fitting for some Drows, don't you think?

Again, these were a very early paint job from back in the day. One of the early lessons I learned the hard way was to always check the humidity of your local weather before you go outside and spray with a rattle can. I might dunk these in something and try again on a new and better paint job one day when I have the time.

cauldron of blood

description of significantly cruel methods below.

This gruesome power lets the user boil the blood of a victim in their own veins, causing massive damage and excruciating pain. On a win, each point of margin causes one point of Aggravated damage in the victim. Mortals taking at least one point of damage die screaming. Vampire victims add 1 Hunger per point of damage inflicted, until Hunger is at 5.

Dice: Resolve + Blood Sorcery vs Composure + Occult or Fortitude ( + 1 Rouse Check and guaranteed Stains.)

just finished this drawing for a contest on deviantart:

[image: a digital drawing of two characters fighting at sunset in a grassy clearing with trees visible on both sides. the one on the left is asterix, a short white man with blonde hair, a moustache and wearing a winged helmet, black shirt and red pants. the one on the right is whosemoralsarelastix, a tall white man with longer blonde hair and moustache, a hooked nose and wearing a helmet with larger wings, a pink cloak, blue tunic and orange pants. whosemoralsarelastix is lunging forward with a maniacal grin, in the middle of swinging his sword downwards at asterix. the tip of the sword has cut asterix from his right cheek to right thigh, sending out a small spray of blood. asterix is stumbling backwards in shock and fear, his sword lying off to the side. end id]

there's a whole lot of context for it, so i'll put it under the cut

so this is an au of asterix and the cauldron. if you haven't read it, basically what happens is asterix is banished from the village because he fails to protect a cauldron of money entrusted to the village by another chief called whosemoralsarelastix. he and obelix have a bunch of misadventures trying to earn back the money, but eventually they give up and head to whosemoralsarelastix's village to return the cauldron. on the way there, though, they meet a passing tax collector, try to rob him and discover that the money he carries smells like onion soup - just like the money that was in the cauldron! so asterix realises that whosemoralsarelastix got his men to steal the cauldron in order to pay his taxes and stay in the romans' good books. he confronts him and they have a swordfight, which asterix loses, but then the cliff whosemoralsarelastix is standing on crumbles and his money falls into the sea, so he gives up and asterix and obelix go back to the village.

so my au stemmed from a little ficlet i wrote about asterix's thoughts while he was leaving the village, which then got me thinking about why he might be on his own. and i realised it would be very easy for the romans to have taken advantage of this situation if they had known about it.

so in my au a roman spy overhears asterix being banished and the romans decide to try and capture him while he's vulnerable. they stop obelix from following him by intercepting him at an inn, where they drug his food and transport him somewhere where he can't get away before he loses his strength because he's gone so long without eating. meanwhile, asterix has some pretty similar misadventures to the comic.

he finds out about what whosemoralsarelastix did, but doesn't just barge in and confront him where he's protected by his men. so he does some stealth missions and sows doubt in whosemoralsarelastix's mind by making it look like his men are trying to get on the romans' bad side, and then arranges a meeting in a forest clearing away from the village, which whosemoralsarelastix doesn't tell anyone about because he doesn't trust his men.

in the climax of the story, which is depicted in the drawing, asterix confronts him, and they fight, but this time whosemoralsarelastix isn't standing on a cliff, so he nearly succeeds in killing asterix.

by this point obelix has escaped and been looking everywhere for asterix, so he soon finds him and brings him back to the village, where getafix treats his injuries and they explain about the whole fiasco. it's a lesson to everyone not to take asterix for granted.

sorry for that long spiel, i did a LOT of thinking about this idea. it might even end up as a fic someday ;)

as for the actual art, it was a lot of fun trying to do the sunset lighting! what i did was i actually started with just the sky and drew everything else as silhouettes, which i then sketched and did lineart and coloured on, and then used the original silhouettes as the shading. i think it turned out pretty good! also i'm really proud of the motion smear on the sword :D

i think i messed up asterix's pose a little bit bc it's not at all clear where the sword is meant to have cut him, but at least it looks cool :D

The Mother and The Cauldron - Part 4

The Cauldron: so this goes here, and Aedion goes there, and Rowan is kicking that rock, and Dorian is railing Manon and-

The Mother: CAULDRON!

The Cauldron: SON OF THE MOTHER! YOU SCARED ME!

The Mother: I'm bored, little evil thing

The Cauldron: I'm busy right now. And stop calling me evil.

The Mother: But you are evil.

The Cauldron: And whose fault is that?

The Mother: Koshei?

The Cauldron: Yes, your- wait, what does Koshei have to do with anything?

The Mother: I don't know. I'm bored.

The Cauldron: get a pair of mates together, that ought to entretain you.

The Mother: what are you doing, anyway?

The Cauldron: Making sure everything is calm and peaceful.

The Mother: Why? Give me some drama.

The Cauldron: you say that now, but then when the drama happens you're going to hate me for not stopping it-

The Mother: I won't! I promise! Just give me something.

The Cauldron: If you insist-

The Mother: I do! Give me something.

The Cauldron: Alright then. I allowed the illyrians to take Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn to the blood rite a few minutes ago.

The Mother: ...

The Cauldron: ....

The Mother: ....

The Cauldron: ...

The Mother: ...I WILL BREAK YOU PIECE BY PIECE-!

The Cauldron: MOTHER, NO!

Lore Under Cut!

Brash and violent, The Red Queen rules Wonderland with an iron claw befitting of the rage-filled legacy of her breed. She clawed her way to the top of Wonderland’s protective forces as a young dragoness, but time and betrayal warped her sense of justice. The Red Queen stole the rule right out from under a dragon she once called sister, slaughtering those who opposed her and sending the rest into hiding. But there is a catch. It has been prophesied that one day, a great warrior shall fall from the sky and return peace to Wonderland. A peace that can only be restored by the death of The Mad Queen. And she would do anything to keep that from happening.

🥀♥️🥀

The White Queen lies in a garden of her own making, shielded from all who would wish to do her harm. Here she mourns a happier time in Wonderland, one where she did not need to hide from her dear sister. Once, they had worked tirelessly together to bring peace to the chaotic land, uniting those who sought fellowship under one banner of harmony and sanctuary. But her sister had wanted more. Her sister wanted it all. The White Queen could not bear to hurt her, so she ran instead. Believing they’d been abandoned, many turned to her sister’s regime instead, including her own beloved…

Design Notes

The Red Queen gave me so much trouble picking out her genes, especially the Tert. I wanted something that matched her eyes but didn’t clash with the rest of her. Then I found that Ruby Paisley had those blueish accents to it and wanted that to match too, and Caribbean felt like the perfect middle ground. Plus with Flameforger it looks like it’s actually casting light onto the shiny parts of Paisley.

The White Queen’s trouble mainly came from my refusal to make her double basic, but still predominantly white. For some reason FR insists on making like all the white genes turn grey, even though we have an entire range of greys to use already. Like I get there needs to be some grey to make it a gene, but there’s a difference between making it white with grey (like weaver) and making it just grey (like glimmer). Her Tert is Pistachio because the actual branch part is just a smidge lighter than using one of the grey-range colors.

I don’t often break up my lore’s found families, but when I do, you better believe there’s gonna be ✨drama✨

They’re tragic and I love them both so much
