Monster Hunt: The Doloron Colossi

Artsource

Enigmatic titans that stride endlessly through the snowy wastes, mummified by the cold, driven on by some unknown puprose, most think the colossi remnants of a forgotten age, and give them wide berth lest they be trampled underfoot.

There seems to be no aim to the Doloron's wandering, as they trek across the tundra and mountainsides alone or in groups of two or three like some mobile monument to hopeless exhaustion, occasionally collapsing to be buried by drifting snow only to be unburied decades later when some shift in weather or poor traveller unearths them.

Sightings of the Doloron are thought to be a bad omen, least in part because none are sure what draws their unthinking ire or what can dissuade it. Everyone has heard stories about the unlucky travler who somehow angered the colossi before escaping to warmer lands, only to have the giants arrive along with the winter winds and level the entire village. Some tales suggest their wandering is a millennia old hunt for some ancient foe they are sworn to slay before they can finally die.

Adventure Hooks:

It's well known that each Colossus is garbed in enough Adamantium to outfit a small legion, and while some scavengers spend years hunting for the smallest scrap offcast in the frozen wastes. Some of those prospectors found a Doloron trapped inside a ravine and half buried in ice, and now an impromptu mine has popped up excavating the undead and trying to strip its armour piece by piece. Only now the thing is whispering to them in an unknown language, a never ending, half heard litany in a language none of them can understand.

A cruel wizard has realized that the giants follow the worst of the winter storms, and has used weather magic to "steer" a Doloron into a frontier garrison, with aims of using it to bring a nearby kingdom to its knees.

Legend says there is some way to rally the colossi to one's aid, though accounts vary whether it might be a great horn carved into a hidden mountain, the crown upon which they swore their oath of service, or the words of forbidden binding that gave them their beleaguered immortality. As the final battle approaches, the party may need to discover the truth of these rumours if they hope to even the odds against their foe.

Monster Hunt - I (AU)

Let’s gooooooo Kenyan will be purified of all evil 😇 I’ll make three parts (I guess), each one fighting her according to their beliefs (she’s a vampire, witch or alien?)

Kenyan despises plants, but she hates with more passion the ones that stink. And she has great senses, so she knew the food was doomed since the start, she just sniffed because it’s a habit.

As I said, she might be able to eat it, but the consequences can be hard… anyway, she just gotta pose “human” for everyone outside home.

(I’m not forgetting to draw her pointy ears. She uses magic to disguise them when people are around)

Thinking about Monster Hunter ecology like... yeah there are the Big Boys who are totally down with laying waste to a village but there’s also sheep, so there’s got to be a shepherd somewhere who’s totally 100% ready to throw hands with a Rathalos using nothing but their shepherd’s crook.

Sure, they’ll put in a request for a Hunter because that’s what you’re supposed to do, but there’s probably like a 3-day standoff before the job gets picked up where it’s just this farmer angrily shaking a stick at a dragon.

Adventure: The Subtle Art of Dragon Hunting

Art 1 Art 2 Art 3

After a lowland kingdom is ravaged by a dragon looking to expand its territory the party sets out on a quest worthy of the heroes of old... only to discover that the epic songs recounting the deeds of those old heroes chose to leave out just how much hiking would be involved in such an epic undertaking.

Tracing witness accounts and the path of destruction leads our would be dragonslayers to the Bronscall Mountains, a rugged wilderness of deep valleys and icy peaks, but the trail goes cold before they have any clue to where their quarry might be lairing. This is the sort of adventure where the party needs to take their time, and is best brought to life using an exploration system such as the one I've developed here, or hexcrawling if you'd prefer.

The idea is to have the party fully experiance the Bronscall mountains before facing the dragon: living off the land, learning its secrets, discovering resources they might use or potential ambush sites.

Zones of interest:

The Podrian Foodhills: Groves of flowers and tangled trees that seem intent on capturing any wayward traveller. The region also features a potential base camp for the party in the form of a ruined watchtower, sturdy and fortified, it may become their home away from home before too long.

Lake Whitedog: cold all year from glacial melt, the waters of this lake hold a long sunken secret, and provide great fishing. Perhaps while exploring the party can trace the mystery of the deserted mining village built nearby.

Bron's Stair: An increasingly challenging climb up the foothills of the mountains, home to many monsters and chilling wind. The area is also home to a crotchety old hunter who can teach them the finer points of surviving the cold as they ascend.

The Frigid Peaks: Windstorms, avalanches, occasional aerial attacks by the dragon as they near its territory. It's dangerous to stay more than a few hours in this region, but the beast's lair must be around here somewhere.

The Burning Rift: accessible only from the height of the peaks (or a hidden shortcut through the hotsprings lower down the mountain), these volcanic caverns are rife with volatile elementals and the threat of collapse, but may provide a means of sneaking up on the dragon without the risk of being attacked from the air.

MH-Templar

Heya o/

This time showcasing a map called MH-Templar, player suggestion is 2-8 but it is soloable given a bit more time and patience with the ammo regen of the UTJMH mutator.

Music and Monster Layout/Weapon spawns are placed well, the Skybox and Textures/Lighting match the theme of the map. Which is a blessing when some of the maps I find are just the UrealED Untextured Placeholders all over..

Overall it was great to find a new map I hadn't yet played and not run into unfortunate issues like broken triggers or geometry that just kills you because you temporarily phase into the void. Give it a shot should you have it lying about and want to play a small level.

Thoughts on Episodes 31-40

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE GOLDEN HEART: This is a really cute Em episode, and seeing Citrine work with the Mysticons was cool.

THE LAST DRAGON: I loved this episode, and seeing how the old man we saw throught the show was more than he let on was fun. I expected him to be more than he let on, but I didn't expect him being a dragon.

GAME OF PHONES: This was kinda interesting, but as we never saw Zarya addicted to video games before, it seemed kinda exaggeerated. Then again, they did justify it by saying it was the new release of a certain game franchaise Zarya got hooked on before when new ones came out.

THE FOZ WHO SAVED LOTUS NIGHT: I never expected a Christmas episode to have zombies, but it worked.

HEART OF STONE: This was a really cute and sweet episode. Plus I like dwarves in Dnd, so it was cool to see more of Rudick's Hollow and the dwarves who live there.

MONSTER HUNT: Piper was kinda immature in this episode. Also, considering this was the last Piper-centric episode, I kinda wanted Piper backstory. Introducing struggles with the mask was cool though.

THE PRINCESS AND THE PIRATE: This episode was really fun to watch, and had a good message about the importance of communication. I also think sending the Pink Skulls to stop marauders was cool for the group.

ETERNAL STARSHINE OF THE MAGE'S MIND: I liked seeing more of what Proxima went through, and was a good episode for Arkayna and Proxima's relationship as honorary sisters.

FEAR THE SPECTRAL HAND: This was an amazing episode with so many cool scenes. I like Dreadbane turning good and calling himself General Bane, as well as how Proxima apoligized to Nova Terron, and was forgiven.

AGE OF DRAGONS: This was a good finale, though Em and Piper did take a back seat to Arkayna and Zarya, which is kind of dissapointing, as I like all main characters to share the spotlight in the finale (I would discuss how they would fix it, but as this focused soley on each episode seperately, that will have to wait for another post)

Whoops

Somebody at Amazon messed up bigtime with this image and film summary combination:

finished Pack of Lies (spinoff sequel for Big Bad Wolf) and i thought it was okay, but just that. would not recommend it over the main story, even though it was a real treat to read more about Eli. he's a delight and it was worth it for him alone but i could not muster any interest in the love interest, Julien, which is shocking considering he's a 40's something double divorced man supposedly on a mission blinded by all consuming grief. i say supposedly because he didn't really give much... of anything. even when it was his POV he was just kind of... there. i wasn't convinced of his grief and felt that his personality was kind of non existent. and not even in the 'too consumed by loss and sadness to be a person' kind of way. it is also very hard for me to care about movie star type characters, but even then, there just wasn't much to work with.

the mystery itself was also just okay. i liked the setting and seeing the clues navigated by civilians, and bringing cryptids into the mix was a fun touch, but the whole thing about Julien's brother felt clunky. i can't say i was ever bored though, really, aside from the lore recap stuff in the beginning (but to be fair i don't think most people read all 5 main books in less than 2 weeks before jumping straight to this one) and i think overall my main disappointment remains with Julien himself. i'm still interested in seeing where else this spinoff goes though, despite book 2 apparently being very delayed. or anything else this author writes in the future, really.
