#Curse of Strahd campaign

[xtheredwitchx]

“He’s not the love of your life.

He’s Strahd, the vampire Lord of Barovia.

Hit him with your sunsword!”

- Sincerely, all of Barovia, probably.

[prosaicvocabulary]

I to finally share my boy from my curse of strahd campaign - his name is Artois Planchette Zolnerovich, he's a college of spirits bard (with a brief Pact of the Undead Warlock stint, it happens to us all). I wanna share more about the whole party, since we're probably wrapping the campaign up soon!!!

CoS campaign update:

A house fell into a pit, three party members were saved from certain death by a mysterious figure, and the party was informed that they have attracted the attention of a great evil with whom they will, for better or for worse, change the fate of Barovia.

All that bring said, the most important thing that happened was that Ireena lost her shoe and had to walk around for a while without it. :(

Though it was thought help is finally found in the land of Barovia, it seems their savior is not so highly regarded among his own people. And the story of Ismark the Lesser reaches their ears.

The next chapter will be out May 21st

Having another crativity streak.

Our curse of Strahd campaign ended about a week or two ago, and now I'm just doodle posting. Just, I had so much beef with the Wachter brothers for almost the entire campaign it was so fucking funny because originally, Ambrus (PC) wanted to befriend them, but they called him slurs and so he then spent the rest of the campaign completely fucking them over. Petty King, we love to see it.

[beholdingbrainrot]

if you're a player in my strahd campaign, keep scrolling. there's 3 of you fuckers that I know follow me and you're not allowed to look at this post

so last session one of my players lost an eye. it would be a bad idea to give his character something like the eye of vecna right??

it's a campaign of 9 players, and 6-7 usually show up per session. they're currently level 4, but got almost tpk'd by a small coven of night hags, and I was being nice and lenient with the lair actions

[prosaicvocabulary]

The whole Curse of Strahd party! We've been dubbed The Dawnbringers due to the. uh. aim of bringing back the dawn. (The other option was the Vallaki Victors so we dodged a bullet there)

Left to Right:

Artois Planchette Zolnerovich (College of Spirits Bard with a temporary dip into Undead Warlock)

Henryk Star (Path of the Ancestral Guardian Barbarian. He and Artois Are Dating and it's very sweet.)

Kaelen McAllister (Bloodhunter Ghostslayer)

Kyx Mires (Twilight Cleric, later a Stars Druid)

Oh yeah and-

[pigeon-princess]

Ayyyyye Silas is back! Oh? A gift? From resident rat bastard Count Strahd von Zarovich? A gift that definitely has no strings attached and probably won't come back to haunt our boy Silas, hm? :3 But in all seriousness I would love to hear how your Curse of Strahd game is going, and anything you feel comfortable sharing about Silas's backstory. I always love hearing about people's dnd characters!

Hello!!! AAA thank you so much for asking, I could ramble on about our Curse of Strahd campaign and about Silas forever but I'll try and keep it concise! 

As for Silas's backstory, I can say that he was raised in Balder's Gate by his very controlling single mother who has munchausen by proxy. Meaning that she made Silas believe he was very sick in order to keep him trapped in their dilapidated home. He was so weak that he was unable to walk for many years of his life and secretly practiced every time his mother left the house.

When Silas was a teenager he discovered a secret room filled with old spell books and wizard materials that he believed belonged to his absent father. He secretly taught himself magic over the years. When he reached his 20s he finally discovered that his mother had been feeding him poisons to keep him sick, so he decided to escape his house for the very first time. 

As for our Curse of Strahd Campaign [Possible spoilers for the campaign setting ahead], we're 6 sessions in and we're currently causing problems in Vallaki hahaha.

The gift came from a dream where Silas spoke directly with Strahd for the first time. Silas was surprised at how forthcoming Strahd was with answering his questions, as well as the level of respect Strahd treated him with. He offered a gift, pouring his own blood over a spell book Silas had been struggling to open since the beginning of the campaign. It allowed him to finally open and examine the pages which has led to some huge revelations about his fathers identity.

Silas decided not to tell the party about this dream, which lasted all but one day when his horrible deception skills spilled that he'd spoken with Strahd. This caused a massive argument. He was also extremely embarrassed when Rictavio examined the spell book and removed a scrying spell that was attached to it.

He's already extremely paranoid that the party finds him weird and is also skeptical and scared about this interaction with Strahd. Out of everyone in the party Silas is absolutely the most insecure and easiest to manipulate so I'm very excited to see where this could lead.

Fun Silas Facts

Silas has really terrible social skills mixed with the arrogance of someone who reads a lot of books which results in a lot of very funny interactions.

We have this ongoing joke where Silas cannot look Ireena in the eye and is so awkward everytime he speaks with her.

Silas has had a habit of levitating the elderly to get out of problems. If you're a Barovian man over 50 you better watch out because you're getting levitated.

Silas does not know how exactly old he is as his mother repeated his birthdays multiple years in a row. To quote Silas "Everyone turns 12 at least 4 times" 

Silas has taken a very keen interest in Victor Vallakovich seeing as he's the only other wizard he's ever met before and it's resulted in Silas showing up outside his bedroom window at 3am to ask if he wants to compare notes. The rest of the party are not a fan of Victor and are not happy about this dynamic.

Thank you so much for asking about Silas and for giving me an opportunity to share more about him! If people would like to hear more about what has happened so far in our game I'd be happy to answer more questions about that! (Please no spoilers for the campaign setting) There will absolutely be more art from this campaign coming soon!

🌟Fun Facts🌟

For the home DnD canon with my friends, some changelings can either come from the feywild OR ALSO come from doppelgangers!!! Doppelganger blood is highly toxic (also due to it having a thick, tar-like consistency) to those that feast on flesh and blood!!! While Cal isn't like his many times great grandmother... he still can't get bitten by vampires unless they have a death wish 💖😈💖
