Since the comments section of the latest session gave me an excuse politely asked for it, here's the artwork for the major NPCs we've met in Currents of War so far (barring those I haven't drawn main pics of yet):

Andromalius (aka Andre Melious when disguised as a human), the devil the party met who's in a bind 'cause he's way behind and is willing to make a deal.

Johanna duPrix, Midgaheim's equivalent of Joan of Arc.

Philippe Talbot, the veteran hunter of man-eating beasts.

Dame Sangren, a newly anointed knight who wants to do right by her people.

Cretien Detrois, a highly principled blacksmith.

Pierre Rancine, a nice merchant.

Ross Weber, a less-nice merchant.

General George Garston II, leader of the Bretonch Goblin Slayer Army, and the main antagonist of the campaign.

George "Junior" Garston III, a dragon-slayer who'd rather not be in this big goblin war his father is so hot on spear-heading.

Sir Bruenor Gresley, former apprentice of George Garstion II and now his faithful second-in-command.

Two Redcaps...

And a silly little guy!

The Divine City: Some Slices of Life

Part 1 \ Part 2 \ Part 3 (here) \ Part 4

It wasn’t my fault. So no, you can’t blame me. I didn’t know anything and thus didn’t know what to expect. It hadn't even been an hour when there came a loud crash where I organized the swords to realize something was wrong. Very wrong.

Oh no, here it comes- the blacksmith apprentice mentally braced himself.

“Andre! Git over here!” A thick, deep voice yelled from several rooms over.

The teen opened his mouth. “Yes sir!”

He stepped quickly into the front desk of the store. To his left were several silver swords lying on the ground. Andre wasted no time picking them up carefully and replaced them on the shelves. With a polite bow, he retreated to the forge as quickly as he entered.

The apprentice sat back in front of the anvil. His gaze leveled at the furnace as he watched with observant eyes. Currently, his job was to maintain the fire and make sure it wouldn’t go out. Andre silently reminisced while observing the flames. 

“Come here boy,” Master Hugh beckoned him over to the furnace. A young Andre grimaced as the temperature increased when he stepped closer. The kid pulled out a chair and leaned forward to watch.

Master Hugh picked up a pair of tongs. With dexterity that contrasted with his bulky, towering form he picked up a white hot rectangular piece of metal and placed it on the anvil. He got to hammering immediately. It got flatter with every swing until it was practically flat as paper.

Then, the blacksmith picked it up again and dunked it in a bucket of water. Steam hissed as the metal was cooled almost immediately. After several seconds, Hugh inserted it back into the furnace. The process repeated itself several times over until it produced a sharp blade piece for a sword.

Master Hugh picked up an empty grip and laid it out. He carefully inserted it into a slot and proudly held it in the light.

Andre sighed. That memory was one of many that he cherished. A part of him thought it was childish, but it couldn’t deny that that was what gave him a reason to get out of bed every morning.

He wordlessly got up to pump more air into the fire to prevent it from going out. Andrew was about to sit down when he heard footsteps approaching.

Master Hugh’s wide body took up the whole door frame. Light brown eyes zeroed in on the apprentice. 

“Andre. I need to go meet a potential client over by the commerce district,” said the stocky man. He walked around the teen to hang his apron on the wall before grabbing a plain brown cloak. “I need you to watch the store for a while.”

“You want me to…man the store?” He repeated with wide eyes.

“Aye. And don’t worry about customers because the lunch rush has ended. I imagine people will be busy preparing for Volksfest and all that. But still, try not to mess it up like ya did with the sword display, eh?” The blacksmith smirked.

Andre distantly felt his ears grow red. In lieu of a response he simply nodded. Without another word, Master Hugh walked out of the room. The distant sound of a door opening and closing told Andre he was now alone.

Andre let himself forget about maintaining the furnace. He went to his room where he examined his appearance. Using his fingers to comb his short black hair back, he did his best to look appropriate. At least, as appropriate as a teenager in an apron and plain clothes could in a highly respectable shop.

Still, managing the store shouldn’t be terribly difficult. I’ve seen Master Hugh do it enough times that it’s practically embedded in memory! He thought as he went to the counter with a chair in hand. 

Andre rested his hands on both cheeks as he stared out the window. Behind the glass, scores of people were walking past. He absentmindedly began counting the number of people who were merchants or civilians as if determined to make some kind of mental record.

The count had gone up to 201 civilians and 99 merchants when the door opened. 

Andre automatically put on a smile and recited a line almost robotically. “Welcome! Feel free to browse our wares. Claymores are in the back by the way.”

The customer that entered was a young lady - probably a teenager judging from her looks - with blonde hair and red eyes. She wore a simple green dress under a plain tan coat. Not exactly what Andre would call “loaded with money,” but he wasn’t complaining. 

She blinked at him as if registering who just greeted her. Andre saw confusion in her eyes before it settled on acceptance. He sat up straight when she made her way to him.

“Do you have any knives?” the girl asked, crossing her arms with what Andre thought was a guarded expression.

What kind of ominous sounding question is that? He thought bemusedly. Andre nodded. “Yeah!”

He pointed to a shelf in the far corner where they usually kept the more general supplies.

The girl nodded as thanks. She came back with a single knife, then fished out a small pouch of Mora. “Thank you for having these in stock. This was literally the the third place I stopped at. I can’t believe that no other shops here sell-”

She paused as if she suddenly realized she was talking out loud. “Er, anyway. I appreciate the good service here.”

Andre thought she was embarrassed since she sputtered that out quickly. The girl turned and left as quickly as she entered. 

The apprentice made a mental note of the vent before returning to idle mode. Hours passed into the evening and Andre just switched the sign’s shop to closed when he heard the back door open. Heavy footsteps made their way to the front.

“Welcome back Master-” Andre turned to see his teacher covered head to toe in…white powder? “Uh…did everything go okay?”

The man simply grunted in response. He disappeared into the hallway.

///////////////

A/N: Andre...Andre. He's definitely one of the simpler characters I've ever written. Dude wants to follow in his master's footsteps. I'm 110% sure that point was made, but it's pleasing enough to me.

Last one before stuff hits the fan and things can really get going. I can't wait to shake things up!

///////////////

"Sir": Hm. Apart from the drawing lacing texture I'd say this chapter was a success.

P-34: Indeed. And Andre seems like a reliable fellow.

"Sir": The thing about blacksmiths is that you can rely on them to make a good weapon. Usually.

P-34: Speaking of, did ya see what happened with Hugh back there?

"Sir": Bro, how can I not? I can't believe we got that on camera!

P-34: I know-huh? Keyboard clicking That's...odd.

"Sir": What's wrong?

P-34: I'm getting readings. From the vault? But it's been dormant for years...

"Sir": I'll go check it out. Stay here and keep monitoring for energy signatures. Hopefully it's just a false alarm.

[sillyandquiteawkward]

Is Andres one of those guys with muscles but the muscles are just for show and he can’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag

hed never use them to hurt others, hes into the act of creation, not destruction! he used to be a blacksmith before pivoting into glass and lenses.

hes a bit of a pacifist, but will defend himself in needed, usually with a gun rather than melee options. but the muscles arent just for show they are real.
