We all know the trope of

"If Displacer Beast deadly, why soft and kitty shaped?"

And meanwhile there's this mf

just straight up purring as soon as you scratch it behind its ears.

Finally painted something again, and finished it today! She's a displacer beast with a butterfly suit, seemingly based on Dirlagraun. I sadly cannot keep her, as she's a gift for a friend. Let me know what you think!

Model is Papillon the Displacer Beast by Max' Magnificent Miniatures.

Inspired by how much I love the speak with animals shenanigans in bg3 and dnd in general, Nova knows the spell herself (idc if her class can’t learn it!! I don’t play her by the rules gksbfksh) and I think she can probably teach herself new animal/creature languages alongside others, although it’s very difficult and she doesn’t know a lot.

She’d likely learn how to converse with creatures like horses or ravens first (this was coincidental ofc lol) but she’d be familiar with more Fae dialects than anything else due to her raising and inclinations. However, literally all of this is just to say: she can innately communicate with cats of all kinds, including stuff like tressym and dirlagraun. Because she is one, ofc! ☺️☺️

And all of this stems from me wanting to share the concept that Nova regularly talks with or makes remarks/picks up various pieces of information from creatures sometimes instead of just people as she’s wandering around, naturally more frequently when she travels, or is just around more creatures. Vax finds it fascinating and also a little amusing, and he gets into the habit of asking her if she’s talked with the local wildlife lately if they ever hit a wall in their questing :3c

how did halsin feel about the circus in act 3?

There were some mixed emotions in his case. On one hand, he had never really been to anything like a circus before, so he was at least open to the idea of poking around and viewing all the different attractions, though each mostly perplexed him further than really answering any of his concerns - the forerunner being 'the hell is going on here'?

Definitely wasn't a fan of the circus animals crammed in cages so small they couldn't even turn around if they wanted to. It is very much against Silvanus's teachings to keep what ought be wild locked away, and the denial of space in said cages than what is even afforded to thieves and murderers in jail cells was simply cruelty on display. It did not surprise him in the slightest when the will of the Oak Father prevailed and the dirlagraun broke free to savage the crowd; they brought nature's fury down upon themselves...unfortunate as it was.

If [tav] made him go onto the stage, he is currently not speaking to them until they make it up to him with some fair food (preferably honeycomb cake). Also, his back's still a little sore from falling over while being randomly mauled in front of a live audience.

Velwyn's posture shifted to a position of authority, feeling the gazes of her companions at the back of her skull. It felt easy, natural and eerily familiar in a way she couldn’t precisely place. After all, they had trusted her thus far, followed through with nearly ever plan she proposed - she had no intention of faltering now they were in the dirlagraun's den.

With all the assurance of a predator approaching cornered prey, Velwyn looked down at one of the goblin guards disdainfully. She was certain her and companions must've been quite the sight, matted blood sticking to their hair and clothes and the gleam of something all too sinister flashed upon her features as the creature sputtered pathetically upon noticing their group.

"We- we weren't expecting more of your kind here, ma'am."

"My kind? Certainly you know better than to address your superiors with nothing less than their due deference." Velwyn chastised, her gaze sharpened as she glanced down to the floor expectantly.

Immediately the goblin contorted its body into a bow, a dagger clattering from its grasp in its urgency. "I am sorry your drow-li-ness, I didn't mean no disrespect. Our leader Minthara did not tell us to expect more of ya."

Velwyn chuckled, idly examining her blood soaked nails as if terribly bored with the whole ordeal. "Of course not, why would they? That's not for fodder to know."

"Now you're going tell me where I can find your leader so that I may be able to speak to someone who is worthy of my time." The drow commanded, side-eyeing the other goblins who seemed too frozen in fear to assist their fellow guard.

"Out in the back, ma'am, past the priestess and the torture rack."

"Very well. Perhaps I'll consider putting in a good word for you."

She wouldn't. But it was amusing to pretend so as the goblin's face seemed to light up at her mock praise, throwing its body to the ground once more in a gesture of thanks.

Contented with the information they received for now, Velwyn nodded back towards the group to get ready to move before venturing further into the temple.

The entrance to the Selunite temple, shrouded in an eerie glow, beckoned them forward. As Tae stepped inside, the air itself seemed to hold its breath, awaiting the chaos that lay ahead. Goblin chatter echoed through the cavernous halls, creating a dissonant symphony that grated on their senses. The flickering candlelight barely revealed the remnants of once-beautiful murals, now marred by crude drawings and the crude laughter of goblin invaders.

The intermingling aromas intensified as they ventured deeper, a cocktail of dampness, rust, and the unmistakable stench of goblin occupation. Tae's nose wrinkled in distaste.

"Do not let us stay any longer than needed." The wizard said before he could comment on it, and it elicited a giggle from the Drow.

"Everything to save a Druid who experiments on infected corpses." His glance went over to Lae'Zel. "Still, the druid is the most trustworthy of options."

This place was as good as any other, and it seemed the group agreed to it as all came to a halt, looking at Velwyn. He surely did not envy her position.

Displacer Beast One of Dungeons & Dragons original monsters, Displacer Beasts are large pantheresque creatures that use their innate magic to strike fear into the heart of adventurers by, and I hope you’re sitting down for this because this is terrifying, appearing in a slightly different location! It’s okay, I’ll give you a moment to compose yourself... Also, they have tentacles on their back to better knock things off tables, six legs for extreme biscuit making, and are just so precious as kittens. Yes you are, aren’t you. Yes you are! . #displacerbeast #dirlagraun #largemonstrosity #dungeonsanddragons #cardboardanddungeonsanddragons #urbandnd #cardboardandcableties #exceptwithoutcableties #annapolis #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/B2U2PXLhK3G/?igshid=fj6smctqnjl7

Just Roll With It Recap

Riptide Episode 73 - Oath of Vengeance

- Chip and Felipe hang out. Felipe thinks The Millennium Chipper is the better name for the party’s ship than The Albatross. They walk up to the Memoraze and the clerk tells them that if they beat the maze they can talk to anyone, alive or dead. Felipe wants to talk to Ashley Tisdale and is shocked when Chip says he’s never seen high school musical.

- Gillion sees that Pretzel is gone from his tank and is immediately distraught. He tries to attack the mirror and it shatters, making the mood of the carnival go down. He laments that he fell for the candy-coated traps of the carnival, and vows to find who took her and take them apart. The glittering mist around him turns black. He puts on the dreadhelm.

Gillion: “I made an oath in the undersea to protect the creatures of it and to protect that world. But I didn’t protect a creature of it; my friend, my pet, Pretzel. And this Jay, isn’t my world. The plan is to turn my moisture to malice. My restraint into retribution. And by destiny into vengeance. And I will get my vengeance.”

- He is now an Oath of Vengeance Paladin. Gillion sees the mime and makes a mimed baseball bat to threaten him with it. A couple carnival hands come up asking them not to do violence, and lead them to Lost Items after hearing about the lost frogtopus. Jay pulls out a mimed gun and one carnival hand pisses his pants. 

- The first test in the Memoraze is making rhymes. Chip spits fire and they are allowed through. Chip aces the maze, dodging all the traps and tricks expertly. He admits to Felipe that he’s a bit nervous to talk to who he wants to talk to. The next test asks them to show their strength, so they flex and arm wrestle. Chip accidentally pops Felipe’s arm from his socket. 

- Gillion and Jay arrive at lost items, seeing a blue furred cat with butterfly wings playing with children. Gillion tells him that a child took his frogtopus, and the blue furred cat admits he had his cub stolen as well. The blue furred cat has a duty to protect these kids and can’t go find his cub. He says that the party should find Kas, but he is in his tent and can’t be seen before the Extravaganza. He tells them his cubs name (Star), and that it was taken by a girl in a pig mask. 

- Gillion disappears in a black mist. The blue furred cat reaches out to Jay. 

Dirlagraun: “Please find Star. I cannot forgive myself. If they ask, my name is Dirlagraun.”

Jay: “We won’t rest until we find Star, and Pretzel.”

- He says many of those who are supposedly protected by the carnival have had things stolen from them. Gil returns and asks why nothing has been done about this. Dirlagraun says that someone named Bingo who guards the staff area might know more. 

- Chip and Felipe walk into a room with a giant bird who asks them to guess how many feathers it has. 

Chip: “You want me to guess how many feathers you have? I mean, look, I’ll be completely honest. I’ve got a really important person to talk to, and I can’t really do that without your help right now. I don’t normally ask sincerely, but… I could use some help.”

- The bird starts crying and says it has 354 feathers, letting him go forward. Chip walks into a room with a clear lollipop.

- Jay and Gil walk into the staff area of the big top tent. They corner a pixie and a weasel, shouting at them to tell them where Pretzel is. The pixie starts crying out of fear. Gillion asks what the weasel is and the pixie says it’s name is Peanut Butter, which makes Gil turn from aggressive to incredibly upset because it reminds him of Pretzel. He explains that he’s looking for his stolen frogtopus. 

- The pixie explains that Kas won’t come out until after the Big Extravaganza. In one hour there’s a big performance, and after, Kas asks the crowd if they want to perform. If the party does a performance and does well, they’ll get his attention. Gillion disappears in a puff of smoke and Jay follows him. They decide to go find the best parts of the carnival to bring into their show.

- Chip steps up to the lollipop and thinks of the person he wants to speak with. The surface shows Edyn Tidestrider talking to a shadowed figure wearing a navy uniform. He gathers that the figure is feminine and very old. He starts talking to Edyn and she freezes up. The person whispers in her ear, and she turns and walks away. Without Edyn’s mouth moving, Chip hears:

Edyn: “Who is this and why are you in my head?”

- Chip says that it’s him, and that he wants to talk about a message he sent that he thought didn’t represent him. Edyn remembers him as Gillion’s friend. He says that he can see her and that she was talking to someone, asking who they were. She says she doesn’t know what he saw, but whatever it was, he can’t tell Gillion. 

Edyn: “I don’t have time to explain right now. Chip you have to promise me-”

Chip: “Edyn, that was Navy.”

Edyn: “Yes, that is what it looks like, but it is not- there is more to it, I do not have time. And I can’t be seen looking this worried.”

- Edyn says that she did get his message. She asks him again to promise not to tell anyone, and Chip responds that he already promised Gillion not to lie to him. He tries to ask why she was talking to a Navy soldier, but the mirror’s reflection fades away. He leaves the memoraze and runs into Jay and Gillion.

- Chip lies and says he talked to Ashley Tisdale. Gillion tells Chip and Felipe that Pretzel was stolen and that they have to do an improv show to get her back.  Chip takes Jay aside to “get some props” and asks her if this is the best way to help Gillion.

Jay: “Who would I be if I didn’t enable him in his time of need?”

Chip: “I dunno, like a good friend?”

- Chip tells her what happened with Edyn. He rambles about how he needed to show that the message he sent in episode 71 wasn’t representative of his character and Jay calls him a dweeb. Jay thinks the Navy soldier Edyn was talking to might be her aunt: Fay Ferin. She says that if they were going to tell Gillion, now isn’t the time. 

Chip: “What do I tell Gil? I just lied to him, I told him I wouldn’t lie to him.”

Jay: “Little white lies are sometimes okay.”

Chip: “Okay, but if he figures out- You said that. And you don’t white lie about white lying. And you’ll own that. And you’ll say that that was okay.”

- They pinky promise on this, though Jay tries to cross her fingers several times. Gillion thinks he’s eating a live gummybear man, but it’s not alive. He pinky promises with Felipe because everyone else is doing it, to throw down their lives for each other in their time of need.

- Felipe learns that they need pixie names to enter the Pixie Kingdom, one of the carnival attractions. Gillion’s pixie name is Springkill You. Chip’s is Chip n Dip. Jay’s is Jorts. Felipe’s is Doritos Locos Tacos. They all become tiny pixies. 

- They steal a flying pug named Winx and a pixie for their improv show. They all split up to find more props for it.  Gillion goes back to the pixie kingdom and tells them the same thing, and they turn him big again without holding a grudge. He heads to the Bubblepop Teapot and gets a bundle of leaves from a grumbling goblin. He enters the teapot and gets enveloped in a bubble that floats above the carnival. When he’s finally alone with his thoughts, he starts crying. 

- Jay goes to Lost Items and persuades Dirlagraun to give her a small keg that dispenses infinite apple juice. It’s giant to her, so she struggles to push it all the way back to the big top. Chip goes to pixie kingdom and gets turned normal, then goes to a tent called Deal or No Deal. A mysterious man guesses his name correctly, then offers him a Deck of Many Things, for a price. He shakes his hand, and the man says that that was the price. Chip takes the cards. 

- He then goes to the Hall of Illusions and hears a voice from inside, telling him he can come in. Inside he sees a man wearing distinguished showman attire. He reveals his name is Kas. Chip accuses him of taking Gillion’s frogtopus. 

Kas: “You know, my carnival is quite sad. And I gather it’s because of your friend. And you.”

- Kas assures him he hasn’t taken Pretzel, and Chip rolls insight to see that he’s genuinely concerned and kind. He offers them to meet him after the Big Extravaganza. Chip asks him who gave them free tickets, and he says he might have an inkling, then walks away.

dirlagraun :’( <3

desperately want to be cradled by the good-aligned displacer beast npc from the wild beyond the witchlight source book that uses its tentacles to hold up two massive butterfly wings

[ask-fantasy-sanders-sides]

Virgil I take it blink dogs are usually hostile?

(Virgil sighs, and answers in thought)

Virgil: They don't tend to get along with Dark Fae.

Virgil: I mean, they hate dirlagraun the most, but they don't necessarily like Drow. If there's one thing we're good at, it's getting everyone else to hate us...

Type: Coeurl Displacer Species: Coeurl Other Names: Displacer Beast, Octo-Cat, Panther Alien, Puma Alien, Dirlagraun (Coeurl Tongue), etc. Location: Coeurl Displacers, along with their Coeurl cousins, are normally found on a distant planet somewhere in the galaxy (exact location is currently unknown), rarely they are found anywhere else unless brought over through different means (such as inter-galactic transporters, cargo ships, etc.) Coloration: Dark blues, dark reds, and black fur, red and green eyes with reflective irises Size: 8'0" to 12'0" feet (adult), 2 1/2 feet (young) Weight: 450 to 600 pounds (adult), 17 pounds (young) Language: Telepathy, Coeurl Tongue Personality: Cunning and sneaky. Coeurl Displacers are agile hunters capable of using their environment to their advantage to a curtain point. If they encounter an intelligent creature such as a human they would play dumb in order to let them come near it (sometime even letting it enter their ship/home/etc.) where it can target its prey with ease Abilities: Being skilled hunters, Coeurl Displacers are considered apex predator on their home planet, more so than their normal Coeurl cousins:

EM Telepathy: By manipulating electromagnetic radiation, Coeurls can communicate telepathically with sentient creatures up to a 100 feet

EM Manipulation: Due to the genetic makeup of a Coeurl, they can manipulate electromagnetic radiation in order to perform feats such as unlocking electronic doors, disrupt machinery, cause sonic damage to robots and some types of constructs and are even resistant to sonic damage themselves

Displacement: Coeurl Displacers, by bending the light around themselves, can appear a foot or two a head of themselves and confusing their prey to great effect

Clawed Tentacles: Coeurls have two long shoulder mounted tentacles that end in suction cups that bear resemblance to that of a squids, with sharp claws attached to the suction cups, allowing Coeurls to grapple and rend their prey or against attacking predators

Id Feeding: Though Coeurls can feed on the flesh of creatures similar to the big cats of earth, their main diet is a substance or energy they call Id that exists within living organisms, what this Id is has been debated with some theorizing it is another term for Phosphorus chemical found within bones and teeth while others argue its Potassium chemical found within meats; not like it matters which chemical Coeurls need as it still involves killing and consuming creatures regardless if its for the meat or the bones

Corrode: Coeurl tentacles emit a brown liquid substance that, if spread on the surface of something thats metal, can eat away metal which can be devastating to creatures such as humans who are using weapons and spaceships who are carrying captured Coeurl specimens. The substance can also corrode the flesh and bones of creatures too if hit by the substance

Blind Senses: Coeurls have keen senses of smell and hearing which allows them to sense any prey nearby up to 60 feet of itself (mostly by noticing vibrations and other environmental clues) however creatures out of view of a Coeurl, and out of range, are completely concealed from them

Maul: Like Earth's big cats, Coeurls can use their claws and fangs to rip and tear their attackers or prey to pieces if their tentacles aren't able to latch onto the creature

Info: Coeurl Displacers are a breed of Coeurl native to a distant planet within the galaxy. They are dangerous predators who hunt creatures in order to feed their need for what they call in their tongue Id, what ever this Id is it involves killing and devouring whatever creature they catch. Normally they are not found on Earth but a inter-galactic cargo ship transporting a Coeurl Displacer (along with a few other alien specimens) was hit by a large asteroid and crash landed on Earth, landing in the Gravity Falls and releasing the Coeurl Displacer onto the quite town Displacer Beast (c) Wizards of the Coasts, Dungeons and Dragons Coeurl (c) A. E. van Vogt, Black Destroyer, The Voyage of the Space Beagle

I actually finished some art for once. So. Here it is I guess

This was our D&D party for last campaign, self-titled Ballad of the Goats (we were the Goats). We had our tiefling warlock-ranger, Glitter, with her giant snake, Wiggles (@dirlagraun), our tiefling warlock-cleric, Dank Meemz (@its-so-floofy), our half-orc eldritch knight fighter, Knox (@tardigreats), our DM as the BBEG, the Devilish Duke of Minauros, Furcifur (@sassquatchin), Me as our halfling rogue-bard, the Illustrious, Magnificent, and Esteemed McMike, our tiefling monk-bard Laya Lataia, and her (also tiefling) father Arvon (who was an NPC).

This was based on a real picture of us from our Theme-Themed Party. Arvon was inspired by Sol, who I don’t think has a tumblr. So yeah. I hate hands and clothes with patterns. Now to start (rather finish) art for the current adventuring party!
