dnd shenaneganery act 2

So I forgot to mention this. but during the whole first arc. when we were down in the big illusion spell. We got an invitation to the Fae Court. it was in a month. dont ask why we got invited. Its a whole thing

but anyway. So after the whole lost kingdom fiasco the entire caravan (or what little is left of it) heads back to a nearby town, and set it up as a home base. We did manage to get a decent amount of treasure, but we need most of the money from that to go to the families of those who died on the expedition. The new leader of the caravan, a ranger who was kinda important in the last arc but never enough to be relevant, basicaly apoints herself to take charge of things and honestly nobody chalenges her because they dont want the responsibility. max is in the hospital for a few weeks, but before that we have some random annecdotes that occured over the time.

Kraka meets a weird turtle guy with a sheild with a pattern of a two headed snake that scares her for some reason. also Oh my god I forgot to mention Kraka has an angel of the Gravetender named mother moss who is a giant mossy statue of a weeping angel who works as her sorta mentor. she is kinda cryptic but when asked she tells kraka that the Gravetender was not the first to tend to the dead, and that he took the responsibility from someone who had missused its power. so who knows what that means.

Ira recieves an invitation to tea with the Witch of the Woods on any new moon of her choosing.

Red goes out hunting to relieve her frustration, but because of reasons ends up sharing a fire with a Barrow-Wyrm (not related to a wyrm at all but its just a moose sized centipede dragon thing) they end up having a chat, but its really tense because both sides know that the other is planning on killing them the moment they get the chance, with the only reason they dont being that the Barrow-Wyrm invoked hospitality rights. The BW insults Reds faith in the Huntsman a lot, and says that she "needs to remember her place on the food chain" before giving her a pile of its molted scales as well as coughing up a heart locket from a innocent person it had just finnished digesting as a gift.

Braxton has a run in with some mercenaries sent by the flesh prince to apprehend him, which ends with a man being mind controled to repeat over and over again "come home Braxton" as his skin (which was covered in tatoos of the same sentance) falls of of his body.

Braxton also convinces Red to give him the Bear Kings Cloak that she got from that magic portal last arc.

When Max wakes up he and Red have a chat where they go over what happened last arc and he promises not to try and use the evil cursed rings to turn benny human. Also I forgot to mention but we found out that Benny was some kind of powerful Lost.

After all that we get hired by the ranger in charge of the whole place to try and deliver some of the artifacts and etchings we found in the kingdom to a nearby lord in order to make the money needed to pay off what we owe to the families of those who died.

well this is getting long so ima end it here.

Holy shit I thought My campaign was hectic

The Legend of Hana Chapter 141

Warnings: You guessed it! More angst. 

Rating: SFW

A/N: Sorry I haven’t posted a new one in a while. I’ve been putting it off for so long but now I’m back with a new one. Hope you enjoy!

In the forests of Daybreak Town, Ava ran through it, hoping to find Ira or the others to stop the war when all of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain run through her and a liquid went down her legs. She knew there was only one reason for this. She was in labor. 

“Please not now…” she whimpered as she placed a hand against a tree to stabilize herself. She tried to push on but the contractions she felt made it impossible to even move. She had no choice but to sit on the forest floor and begin to push. She yelled out in pain and prayed that someone she knew and who wasn’t the Master would find her. Thankfully, her prayers were answered. She heard footsteps approach and looked over to see Ira walk over. 

“Ava!” he exclaimed and rushed over to her. 

“The twins are coming…” she groaned and clutched her tummy. “I don’t know what to do.” 

Since no one else was around, and Daybreak Town was too far away, Ira had no choice but to help Ava deliver her babies on the forest floor. Ava yelled and groaned in pain as the contractions hit her. When it came time to push, Ava felt a surge of energy run through her. She screamed in pain and a solar eclipse had covered the entire world and Ava’s robes were changed and her fox mask destroyed. She now wore a gown that ombre from red to purple and then to blue. Resting on her head a cloth with the same color only starting with blue instead of red. Holding the dress up was a chain neckline that connected in the middle of her collarbone in the shape of a sun. This was her true form. For she was the Spirit of the Sun. By the time her transformation was complete, one of the twins had been born. A baby girl who’s hair was as bright as Ava’s. Who’s eyes were crystal blue. 

“Hana…” Ava panted. After a moment of rest, it was time to deliver the next baby. Ava began to push which made the solar eclipse shift again, removing itself in front of the heart shaped moon that was Kingdom Hearts. By the time the sun was removed from the moon, the second baby had been born. Another baby girl, born with raven black hair and gray eyes. 

“Lily…” Ava said. Ira had helped clean the twins off and made sure that Ava was doing okay before helping her stand up and healing her the best he could. Soon the other foretellers arrived to see Ava holding her twin girls and in her true form. 

“Ava you’re…” Aced gasped. 

“Now’s not the time. We have to find a way to keep my daughters away from the Master,” Ava replied. The others nodded and began discussing a plan. It seemed the only way for Lily and Hana to be safe was to send them in the future and to different worlds. Ava didn’t want to but she knew there was no other way. After finding baskets for the twins, Ava opened up a portal and found homes for her girls. And the rest is history. 

At the Castle That Never Was, Luna gathered the Organization to help her and the girls prepare a makeshift sensory deprivation tank in hopes to find Hana, Lily, and Sora. It took a long time to find the right amount of salt to fit in the pool, but once everything was ready, Luna then told them what to do.

“Alright, in order to get to this world, we need to clear our minds and only think of where Hana, Lily, and Sora are. Once we’re there, we’ll have to stay close and be ready for whatever comes at us,” she said. The others nodded and they got into the pool and did exactly as Luna said. 

“Please be okay, girls,” Luna said to herself before losing consciousness.

Pics: A quick look at cowpokes¹, their iconic equipment, a cartoon, where a version of the Old West² can still be seen & a possible future - on Titan³?!!

Title: "On the Cowboys of the West."

Intro: Has a short lead in that reads, "In Whom is Embodied the Nature Worshipping Spirit of Classical Antiquity⁴."

Dedication to: Ira A. Cole⁵.

Work:

Far from the throng⁶, upon the western plain,

Earth's wondrous childhood comes to life again.

A god-like race in primal glory roam;

Who claim no spot but Nature for their home.

Unspoiled by art⁷ or philosophic lore⁸,

They read in rocks or hear in river's roar⁹

The unchanging¹⁰ tales that charmed the Grecian ear,

And trace the Gods in heaven's nocturnal sphere¹¹.

In their wild song, that over the prairie rings,

The soul of Orpheus¹² or Orion¹³ sings;

In their quick strife, of careless passion bred,

We spy the shades of Greek & Trojan dead¹⁴.

From every cliff, to their poetic eyes,

Some tokens of divinity arise;

That which to us the musty volumes give,

They study¹⁵ not; but know & feel & live!

Notes:

1. "Cowboy", cowpoke, cowhand, cow- herd, cowpuncher, waddy, drover, buckaroo, etc are all hired hands who tend to cattle, usually from horseback.

Cowboys poked cattle, during a drive, to get them going in the right direct- ion.

At the end of a drive, Cowpokes used a long stick to prod cattle up into rail- cars.

The word comes from "to poke along" or "moving slowly."

Cattle handlers arose as an American version of Mexican vaqueros, whose name has the same meaning as cowboy.

Today, cowgirls handle the same jobs & are respected for their work.

2. The "Old West" is now better known as the Wild West.

This name was always dependent on there being a frontier for Americans to expand into.

It officially lasted only 30 years - from the end of the Civil War (1865) til 1895.

In 1890, the Census Bureau declared the end of the American Frontier - all land in the U.S. had been claimed...

3. "Titan" is the largest moon orbiting the planet Saturn.

It's the only moon with a nitrogen atmosphere thicker than Earth's & is larger than the planet Mercury!!

Titan also has liquids on its surface but, made up of hydrocarbons & ammonia - not Earth water!

It is still the most Earth-like object in the solar system.

Titan's name comes from a "primal race of Greek gods."

Titan means "dirt, clay" & "gypsum."

This might refer to shamans covered in white clay or gypsum dust for their rituals...

4. "Classical Antiquity" was the inter- related age or era of the Greek & Roman civilizations.

This was a period between the 700s BC til the 400s AD - or 1,100 years of ancient history!

But, it can be expanded back to 3,500 BC - to the 1st kingdom of Egypt!!

Of course, it describes different time spans in different countries.

For example, the Golden Age of India is from 320 AD til 650 AD - a mere 330 years.

Classical Antiquity was 1st used by Renaissance writers to distinguish between Antiquity, the Middle Ages & the more 'modern' times that they were living in...

5. Ira Ansel Cole, from Colorado, wrote a Lost Race novel titled "Ibe of Atlan" (1947), where an advanced civilization is found in 1800s Colorado.

He corresponded with Lovecraft & others in a round-robin group known as "The Kleicomolo."

Cole's poetry is collected in his 1968 book "Atlantis."

6. A "Throng" is a "large, dense group" or "a packed crowd of people or animals."

It can also mean "to move" or "go on somewhere."

Throng is shortened from the Old English gethrang, a "crowd" or a "loud confused cry from a crowd!"

This is from the Proto-Germanic word thrangwaz, "pressing" or "narrow."

It originates from the very ancient Proto-Indo-European root word trenkw-, "to beat, pound" or "to push together."

7. The Cowboy Arts & Gear Museum, in Elko, Nevada would disagree with Howard.

From detailed saddles to paintings & sculptures, all are part of the cow- pokes' artistic heritage.

The museum's programs & workshops immerse visitors into the artistic forms & expressions of the cowboy lifestyle.

8. The Cowboy Way or Code has sprung up to answer what kind of philosophy these herders must have out in the West.

For one Peter French, cowboys all represent a different path to gain the moral values dominating our culture.

Cowboys risk their lives & confront death on a daily basis.

Because or this, cowboys' virtues are slightly different than those needed in a technological & 'civilized' society.

In actuality, there was a big conflict going on between the cattle ranchers (who needed vast open lands) & settlers (looking to build homes & raise crops).

Both groups stole land from the so- called American Indians, usually in massacres & forced removal from their lands.

A true philosophy of the West is the critical assessment of how social development began with cattle ranchers & ended up in civilized lands.

The lawlessness of the Wild West became another 'triumph' for law & order?

Those 30 years saw the growth of a way of life that's close to nature.

And it flowered into stoic work values.

'Evil', however, is never far behind...

Gunslingers & cowboys were hired hands against both: outlaws & settlers.

In all levels of cowboy life, pulp myths have given cowherds a knightly code of honor that triumphs over the dusty & dangerous reality of working with cattle.

These myths have now been mostly passed on to sci-fi, superhero & action heroes.

9. I guess this sentence reveals just how macho & tough 'real' cowboys are supposed to be...

Reminds me of tall tales from the backwoods: Pecos Bill, Davy Crockett, Paul Bunyan, etc.

And, Yosemite Sam...

10. Relatively few things are ever truly "unchanging."

Rocks crumble, weather changes, etc.

There's just some things that happen so slowly that we can rarely see its true changes.

This has led some philosophers to think that even 'inert' things have a kind of 'destiny'...

Rocks must fall, seeds must grow & clouds must rain on our self important parades.

11. The "Nocturnal Sphere" is the night sky - full of zodiac signs named for our ancient gods & animals...

12. "Orpheus's" nymph wife Eurydice dies due to a viper's bite - shortly after their marriage.

Unable to live with the loss, he travels down into the Underworld to bring her back!

Hades, god of the dead, releases Eurydice - because of Orpheus's mastery in playing music!!

But, he's warned against looking back at her - while he's leading her back to the world of the living.

Of course - Orpheus does look.

Either, he didn't trust or have faith in Hades's word - & so, he lost her again.

Orpheus also guess starred in another Greek myth: Jason & the Argonauts.

13. Orion was a great hunter in Greek myth & had the power to walk on water!

He always boasted about how many animals he had killed.

Now, although Orion was connected to various women, he started hanging around Artemis, the goddess of hunting.

Her brother, sun god Apollo told Zeus, King of the Gods.

And, Zeus vanished Orion to the night sky.

There, along with his 2 hunting dogs (Canis Major & Canis Minor), they chase the animal constellations - but, without ever catching them...

14. This is a rather plain reference to the Trojan War.

But, HPL only speaks of ghosts & fallen bodies - not of the 'cursed' survivors...

15. Yes, cow folk do live a rough but, fulfilling life.

But, Lovecraft is wrong again.

You don't just jump atop of a wild stallion & expect to 'break' it in the 1st time.

No, cowboys - like everybody else - usually have old timers who teach the younger lads a few things or two.

It's just a job that we're not familiar with.

But, even cowpokes study.

Trying to stay atop of their work & practicing with new tech or tackling old skills, it all means the same thing.

More learning - right now!!

End.

Any headcanons about Nina's mother?

|| ooooh, sit down and buckle in babe. | ✲・*:･ﾟ���･ﾟ:*  ˚ₓ

Probably an absolute fashion icon like her daughters.

I feel like she and Richard met either in a fighting tournament of some sort, or during one of Richard's missions. With Richard working for the IRA, and Helena confirmed to be a Aikido prodigy from the United Kingdom, I could maybe.. 70% see it being a Richard going after a prominent English official Helena was hired to protect deal. 70% bc if so then I ask how did these two hellions came from a cute trope like that... wtf happened..

Somehow whenever I try to imagine her, some sort of business entrepreneur comes to mind. If she is still alive somewhere, I imagine her spending her golden years as a benefactor for various martial arts schools, dojos and other organizations under one of her pseudonyms. Likely not the Zaibatsu or G-Corp, but maybe Yggdrasil? What she got of the Williams fortune in the divorce isn't going to spend itself 💶✨

Someone please explain to me why my brain immediately associates her with the color blue... Like Nina's signature color is purple, Anna's is red, for some reason my brain automatically jumps to blue whenever I think of what Helena's could be?

TW: Drinking Lets just say Helena spent a lot of Anna and Nina's childhood with a glass of chardonnay in her hand to cope with the stress associated with Richards work (i.e who knows how high of a number of people trying to kill them, apprehend them, kidnap the kids, etc.) and the after effects of being a martial arts prodigy. Hence how Nina didn't pick up on too many parenting tips from her growing up, how Helena overlooked Richard's treatment of the two for years, and possibly Anna's love of wine. 😔

She definitely wasn't the worst mother out there either though. She protected the two and I feel like there were times where she comforted them whenever necessary. Honestly she's probably the reason Anna's resentment towards Nina didn't boil over until after they moved out. While Richards way of keeping things in order was harsh, Helena's was a tad more understanding. Even when she didn't always get things right.

She probably didn't have a close relationship w her own parents growing up. Considering she grew up in the 50's-60's I wouldn't be surprised if there was a situation where she ran away from home to pursue her martial arts career. Which could in part explain the seemingly lack of extended family to intervene in just....the Williams family situation as a whole (Though it also could absolutely be Richard purposefully secluded them due to his career.)

And bc it's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me. First instinct says strong Gemini vibes. Second says Leo vibes be there too. If I had to guesss... Gemini - Aquarius decan sun, (meaning her birthday would be somewhere between June 11th - June 20th) and Leo moon like Anna.

About: • Ira is the negative charge to her brother’s positive one. While not completely pessimistic she is more realistic than is necessary at times. While she is not as intimidating as her sibling in the physical aspect she is not to be toyed with. She may be small but she has a temper three times her size. Like any fae she is very possessive over what is hers, and will not hesitate to defend her right to it. And like her brother is aware of her physical attractiveness but less inclined to use it to her advantage than he is. • Ira can be very selfish but when it comes to her sibling she is anything but. She will do whatever is necessary for him. Even if that means denying herself wants and needs. Her entire life revolves around Ari, Sonus, hacking and her very small circle of friends.

dnd arc 3 here we go baby

so before I begin telling you about all this I need to mention that throughout this whole arc there is this side plot about a group of lords who teamed up with a xenophobic knight order to try and strongarm the local towns into joining them in a new kingdom and wiping the nearby goblin of the map. our party basicaly has to stop all of their schemes whenever they do something but its basicaly a completely random sideplot that keeps coming up but doesnt really affect the plot much so im just kinda going to gloss over it unless it becomes important. also one more thing those knights were getting aid from the Flesh Prince and also when they died they would be revived as these weird mute demons who would still follow orders.

To recap where we left off because a lot happened:

last arc ended with Kraka dead, King and Cisero MIA and blind, Red mind controled, Manti going insane with power and hunting for and trying to kidnap Red, Max getting a magic comunication book from his evil goat time lord fiance, Kit became a wanted criminal (honestly forgot to mention that part its not all that important), and the entire city being killed with us not being able to do anything to stop it, an army of demons on the loose, as well as a eldritch god free from his interdimentional prison. good times all around

After escaping the ruins of the city and making sure Manti is no longer following us, we all regroup and eventualy manage to make it back to our home base town with several injuries and nothing to our name. we have a funeral for kraka where we get to mourn her death, with Red feeling extra guilty.

This is when we are introduced to our new party member: Val! Val is a half demon sorcerer who was also a human expirement by his single parent. Val is best known for the time he stood in front of an explotion and did finger guns, and then his player drew him standing in front of an explosion and doing finger guns. truly iconic

anywase they team up with us because were down a member, and then we all get hired by the adventurers guild to investigate this one apparently haunted and broken down mansion nearby the town and if its safe we get to keep it.

We head over and find out that its actualy currently occupied by a kobold who laid a whole lot of traps and actualy nearly kills us until we explain everything and we get along well. turns out he has a massive wheat stockpile in the house and the town is currently experiensing the start of a food shortage as it is going on winter.

the kobold agrees to let us have the house and to trade the grain to the people at fair and reasonable market prices.

even after this though the town is still experiencing a pretty bad wood and food shortage, due to the fact that weather has been suddenly getting far worse and more hostile, and the usual forests they take their woods from have been dying requiring them to travel further and further for lumber. The mayor hires us to travel out and see if we can buy or ask for assistance from the nearby goblin city that we made an alliance with in the first arc (Im not sure if I mentioned it tbh it was a while ago but we helped a goblin queen burn her political rivals alive in a religious ceremony)

while we are heading out, we realize that its a new moon, meaning that the invitatio Ira recieved way back in the second arc to have tea with the Witch of the Woods can be done along the way. We end up finding her, along with her familiar(?)(/husband) who was origionaly a great king who got turned into a weird bear dog pig hybrid. he has a chat with Braxton about being a half animal person. Ira mentions making a deal with The Leech (though at this point weve realized that we cant say his name when around Red because even though hes mostly dropped his connection with Red if anyone mentions his name she can feel him watching and listening through her senses). Red also tells the witch about her past connection with him. She is immediately extremely concerned, and mentions that "out of all of them he is the most devious" and gives Red a magical necklace to protect her from the Leech's gaze, though she warns it will only last so long, and tells Ira to only ever cary out the Leech's favor to the worst of her abilities.

Afterwards, she tells the group about how the reason the weather has suddenly gotten so much worse so quickly is because there is a Jotun who has been woken up (Jotun are this worlds version of giants they are like really big and powerful nature spirits who usualy sleep but sometimes are woken up when the nature is in danger). after we leave, we see the Jotun walking around and try to avoid it

When we make it to the goblin city we end up managing to buy a lot of food on a discount for the current crisis and our past aid, as well as the fact that we have been helping them with the stuff with the knight order which I havent been bringing up. we also buy some supplies to renovate our new house.

while we stay the night there, Braxton has a dream where he meets up with his weird bear patron (he has occasionaly had dreams featuring him but they havent really been plot relevant enough for me to bring it up) exept this time, instead of looking like a larger than average bear locked up in chains, he instead is a larger than any hill, taller than any mountain. He tells Braxton that he chose him because, unlike any of the others, Braxton understood that in the end it all comes down to blood and violence. he also makes a lot of insults at the Leech, and introduces himself formaly as The Bear (aka the indominable or the iron breaker) he was also a past god, who took the place of Rime on the alchemests wheel, but was killed and replaced by The Huntsman. He orders Braxton to kill the Jotun and eat its heart on the day of the upcoming winter solstice

the next day we head back to our new house, other than Braxton who is living with Brandon and Diana. Brandon ends up confiding in Braxton that hes afraid his mother (who was a minor villain in the first arc) will come back, because he magicaly has to obey her every command. Diana also confides that since she is a Wylden, a being of summer, she is getting sick during the winter and may end up dying if she does not either eat people, find a magical flower that does not grow in this region, or find a panacea to cure her.

ending here for now continue more later

I was going through Kingdom Hearts ii again and I realized that there's a LOT of unicorn/pegasi imagery in the Twilight Town mansion. I was wondering if this had a tie-in between the Foreteller Ira and Ansem and/or Isa in the theme of "wrath". Particularly with the individual histories of Ansem and Isa with the apprentices/experiments.

Someone also pointed out that it looked like a struggle or explosion took place in the mansion (between the smashed castle structure and the dining table on the first floor). I was suspicious afterwards if going off your Isa backstory theories, this was where Ansem kept Isa hidden after the experiments (lab in the basement and all), and when the apprentices found him, where Isa went into beserker mode resulting in that destruction. Not sure if it also matters, but the castle tower pieces on the floor were each topped with something. Couldn't make out some of them, but there was a crescent moon and two cup-shaped pieces. Looked like there were 3 other platforms for sculptures besides the main castle structure, too.

Also, was wondering if you had any theories of the white room Naminé was kept in. If it was already there before the events of KH2 or was a Naminé special.

I understand the Foreteller Arc and Isa's story didn't exist when KH2 originally came out, but was wondering if the original story here was retconned to make room for that.

I understand the Foreteller Arc and Isa's story didn't exist when KH2 originally came out, but was wondering if the original story here was retconned to make room for that.

That's exactly what I think and I'm incorporating that idea into my current fic. In KH2, Nomura probably made the unicorn the symbol for the mansion because it symbolized anger, and Ansem was plotting his revenge there. Later on, he came up with the 13 Darknesses plot. The Foretellers were the original vessels for the seven deadliest ones.

I think the whole idea for the Dark Seeker Saga (originally, at least) was that Org. XIII were the new vessels for the 13 Darknesses. Ventus was the vessel for Invi/Envy, and when it was extracted, it became Vanitas. Braig was the vessel for Luxu/Lust. And Isa was the vessel for Ira/Wrath. So it would have been pretty symbolic that he was taken to that unicorn mansion by AtW after the experiments.

Someone also pointed out that it looked like a struggle or explosion took place in the mansion (between the smashed castle structure and the dining table on the first floor). I was suspicious afterwards if going off your Isa backstory theories, this was where Ansem kept Isa hidden after the experiments (lab in the basement and all), and when the apprentices found him, where Isa went into beserker mode resulting in that destruction.

Yeah, that is a really good point. I think AtW would have experimented on his memories in the basement. Then afterwards, maybe they sat in this room. It makes a lot of sense that Isa went berserk there, explaining why it's all torn up. The moon is a symbol of darkness and the subconscious. If Ansem was experimenting on Isa's sleeping memories, like he did with Xehanort, it's also very possible it could trigger a berserk episode.

Not sure if it also matters, but the castle tower pieces on the floor were each topped with something. Couldn't make out some of them, but there was a crescent moon and two cup-shaped pieces. Looked like there were 3 other platforms for sculptures besides the main castle structure, too.

Yeah, the castle tower pieces are interesting. Not quite sure what to make of them. Maybe Nomura will come up with a way to make them retroactively fit with Daybreak Town or Scala ad Caelum lore. Now that the Foretellers are back, I'm sure he'll eventually connect the mansion to Ira and the Unicornis union.

---Was the Mansion in Twilight Town a property of the XIII Organization?

No, they have nothing to do with it. It's just a place DiZ used as his hideout. You saw a lot of pods like the one Sora was in but DiZ just transfered Sora and the others along with their pods from Castle Oblivion. In other words, DiZ just copied the pods that were created by the Organization and lined them up (in the Mansion). The reason there's a room in the Mansion that looks exactly like Castle Oblivion's was just prepared for Namine, not because that space is connected to Castle Oblivion.

As for the white room, according to what Nomura said in the KH2 Ultimania, it was prepared like that specifically for Namine. I guess that's just how she likes her room to look.
