Obsessed with the occult from the time she was small, Gabrielle Winchester has given herself an ... interesting goal: to have a baby with every occult she can find. Why? She wants to understand the inner workings of each occult and what better way to do that than to have a baby who's part of that occult?

Okay, so it sounded better in her head.

Starting with $0 and absolutely nothing other than the clothes on her back, Gabrielle is determined to build herself a gothic mansion for her and her magical babies.

This is The Occult Baby Challenge.

List of occults Gabrielle will be having a baby with:

Vampire

Werewolf

Spellcaster

Mermaid

Alien

Patchy the Scarecrow

The Flower Bunny

Father Winter

Servo Bot

Plant Sim*

Tragic Clown*

Island Elemental*

Ghost*

Wishing Well

Grim Reaper*

Headcanon where Gale is the famous professor in the academy for being one of the few professors who actually had a great perilous adventure but none of the students (and some staff too) believe it really happened.

Like they file it away as one of those things where he probably just saw it at the sidelines not really like thick in battle since he has the orb to worry about.

Until finally one day Gale holds a special series of seminars/demonstrations for in the field spellcasting for fights or crisis. He invited all the party members he could in these seminars

Suddenly a former shar worhipper, gith, vampire, devil, is that the blade of frontiers(?), the legendary jaheira and the hero of baldurs gate just are there to help the demo/seminar.

A nighttime demo for Astarion, A lesson on how to cast light spells and be alert for rogues. Not to mention how to maintain concentration when you get shot by an arrow, Gale will say as Astarion shoots an arrow at him. ( at some point an arrow does sink in Gale's shoulder and the whole class freezes but Gale just tuts disapprovingly while Astarion just acts innocently like he doesnt have a longbow in his hand)

Karlach makes a demo on how to distinguish devils and how to kill them. She and Gale also show how to deal with a raging barbarian in a fight as a wizard, Hint human shields i mean tanks companions are important.

Wyll is charming the socks of the audience and shows self-defense tactics when an enemy too close. Oh yes he used to be a warlock but his patron was a devil so he had to cut ties with her

Shadowheart talks about healing spells and being aware of the your companions healths. She especially emphasizes the importance of being able to self heal in emergencies especially for wizards while giving pointed looks at Gale while Gale awkwardly(or guiltily?) shuffles and clears his throat

Laezel talks about the battlefield positions and best placement of wizards in the field to help the strongest soldiers and she also shows which of the body parts they should aim their spells. (I like imagining Laezel having her baby strapped on her while doing her demo or using her baby to show which body parts)

And after a while the students realize with how Gale seamlessly shows or helps in the demos that omg maybe professor Dekarios did help save the baldurs gate

Archwizard Gale lore???

Okay, SO! My personal headcanons for Gale's powers, both as archwizard and Chosen of Mystra, are based upon the following:

D&D makes a distinction between "archmage" and "archwizard," with the former being a spellcaster dedicated to the arcane arts and either: the counsel of royalty, a lich tyrant, or a reclusive hermit, all with multiple apprentices, and the latter being "an arcane spellcaster of extremely high power who successfully claimed a floating enclave," that specification coming from the time of Netheril.

Gale is NOT royal counsel, NOT pursuing lichdom, NOT a hermit (willingly), does NOT have apprentices when he first makes the claim, and does NOT have a floating enclave.

Despite these, he still claims "archwizard" as a title. This is significant, especially from Waterdeep, where the most powerful wizards in the world gather, including Laeral Silverhand (another of Mystra's Chosen, immortal to a degree, and Open Lord of Waterdeep) and Vajra Safahr (current Blackstaff and Archmage of Waterdeep).

Bonus points for his significance, he is Gale of Waterdeep. His personally chosen moniker marks him as outstanding among Waterdhavians. There might be a handful of people named Gale in Waterdeep, but there is only one Gale of Waterdeep. This is further backed up by Lorroakan recognizing him, with his only reason for Gale being lesser than someone who supposedly figured out immortality being that Gale was Mystra's discarded lapdog.

Gale is skilled in all manner of magic. This is confirmed directly in his epilogue, where you can question him about his choice teaching the School of Illusion, and he says that he wanted to teach ALL the classes there, but the staff told him no. That includes schools you wouldn't normally associate with him, like Divination and Necromancy.

Based on all of that, I've decided that "archwizard," as Gale means it, is a term referring to a wizard who's multiclassed into all their subclasses.

Does this make him overpowered? Yes. But he's an archwizard, prodigy, and Chosen, he's MEANT to be within the bounds of his own lore.

In addition, I also believe him to be an untrained Storm Sorcerer, based upon the following:

Sorcerers and wizards differ in that sorcerers know magic intrinsically, while wizards study it to use it.

When talking to Halsin as Origin Gale, you can tell him that as a baby, you summoned a whole pack of rabbits. Presumably, baby Gale was NOT reading and comprehending arcane textbooks.

Gale has an intrinsic understanding of the Weave, by his own admission, saying he could compose it rather than just control it. He was also casting third level spells like Fireball at eight years old.

Gale's theme is all about storms: his name is Gale, he occasionally says "A rough tempest I will raise" in combat, almost all his official art has him controlling lightning, and his robe is thunder purple. This continues into God!Gale's design, where he has literal glowing lightning bolts framing his eyes, and his outfit is lightning blue.

K'ha'ssji'trach'ash: On his own, the mephit is pretty self-contained; it's a magma mephit capable of revealing the true form of a True Ressurection scroll. However, the key to getting him to do this is to respond to the question "what is my name" in Ignan with the correct answer. After which, K'ha'ssji'trach'ash says "T'i n'uthrantha m'ahthra Gale." We don't know what this means, but it's clear that he's talking to us, about Gale, possibly thanking us or asking us to pass a message along. This implies that he doesn't speak Common, or else he would, because we answered correctly. Why do I bring this up? Storm Sorcerers have an innate ability called Wind Speaker, which allows them to speak Primordial (including Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran). Thus, Gale can speak to/understand K'ha'ssji'trach'ash, despite his known/studied languages being Common, Celestial, Giant, and Draconic.

Because he's untrained, and rather than Storm Sorcery being just a Lv1 flavor bit that does little, I've decided that Gale has access to the class features of Storm Sorcery without access to its spell slots or Metamagic, that way it's reflective of his power without training.

With both of these conclusions, both archwizard and sorcerer, I've decided to pick and choose which class features are from which iteration of both classes, because BG3 and official D&D have a few key differences that were mostly changed for gameplay reasons. I've then taken those and added more flavor to them, based on the already-given flavor of D&D and effects of BG3, doing away with the mechanical side of things for storytelling reasons.

On top of this, because the maximum level you can reach in BG3 is Lv12, and we know that the Orb consumes "the greatest of [his] talents," I've decided that the Orb consumes any ability beyond Lv12 until its removal.

That being said, beyond whatever spells and slots you care to give him, the powers I think Gale has pre-tadpole are:

Abjuration

Arcane Ward: When Gale casts Abjuration spells, residual magic shields him from the worst of incoming hits

Projected Ward: Gale can extend Arcane Ward to someone nearby instead of himself

Improved Abjuration: On short rest, Gale can strengthen Arcane Ward to sustain itself beyond a single hit

Evocation

Sculpt Spells: Gale can control his Evocation spells and keep them from harming allies

Potent Cantrip: Gale can force enemies that resist his cantrips to take half damage from them anyways

Empowered Evocation: Gale's Evocation spells are particularly deadly (based on +INT modifier to damage rolls)

Necromancy

Grim Harvest: Gale can harness the power released when a spell kills a creature to heal himself, UNLESS it's undead or a construct

Undead Thralls: Animate Dead: Gale can reanimate a corpse

UT: Additional Undead: Gale can efficiently harness the power it would take to reanimate one corpse to reanimate two corpses with Animate Dead

UT: Better Summons: Gale's reanimated dead can take more of a beating than others' dead

Inured to Undeath: Gale's been exposed to necromancy enough that he's resistant to necrotic damage, and his life force capacity can't be reduced (this one in particular helps with the "Netherese bile" flowing through his veins)

Conjuration

Create Water: Gale can call forth rain at will (BG3's feature over D&D's to align more with storm sorcery)

Benign Transposition: Teleport: Gale can teleport up to 30ft, and can use that to swap places with an ally

Focused Conjuration: Gale's concentration on conjuration spells can't break due to pain

Enchantment

Hypnotic Gaze: So long as Gale holds eye contact with someone, he can charm them into stopping everything they're doing and staring at him in a daze

Instinctive Charm: Reflexively, Gale can make a split-second charm attempt to redirect an attack at someone directly nearby

Split Enchantment: Gale can efficiently harness the power it would take to enchant one person and instead enchant two targets at once

Divination

Portent: Gale can focus and gain split-second glimpses into the immediate future (such as the next blow about to be thrown in a fight)

Expert Divination: Casting divination comes naturally enough to Gale that he can cast divination spells using a lower spell slot

Third Eye: Gale can increase his powers of perception and gain a very limited Darkvision/Ethereal vision at will, as well as read any language

Illusion

Improved Minor Illusion: Gale can cast illusory effects with incredible ease

See Invisibility: Gale's experience with illusions lets him detect invisibility spells at work, focus on them, and see through them

Illusory Self: Gale can create an identical double of himself reflexively to confuse opponents

Transmutation

Experimental Alchemy: Using transmutation magic, Gale can more efficiently refine potion ingredients, occasionally enough to create a second potion

Transmuter's Stone: Gale can lock some of his transmutation magic into a stone, granting whoever holds it an effect of his choice from the following: Constitution proficiency, Darkvision, extra speed, resistance to acid/cold/fire/lightning/thunder damage

Shapechanger: Gale can polymorph himself once a day without consuming a spell slot (only into beasts with a CR of 1 or less)

Storm Sorcery

Wind Speaker: Gale can speak, read, and write Primordial (Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran)

Tempestuous Magic: Gale can summon gusts of wind around him immediately after casting a spell greater than a cantrip. These winds are strong enough to propel him in flight for ten feet

Heart of the Storm: Gale has resistance to lightning and thunder damage. In addition, whenever he casts a spell that deals lightning or thunder damage, the magic that erupts is stormy and more powerful than other kinds of magic at equal level

Storm Guide: Gale can subtly control the weather around him, causing rain to stop falling in a 20 foot sphere centered on him, or wind to blow in a different direction in a 100 foot sphere centered on him

Feats

These are based on what I, personally, think make the most sense for him pre-tadpole:

Ability Increase: +2 to INT score

Elemental Adept: Thunder: Spells/attacks ignore resistance to thunder, and when a spell he casts causes thunder damage, it can't critically fail

Elemental Adept: Lightning: Spells/attacks ignore resistance to lightning, and when a spell he casts causes lightning damage, it can't critically fail

Okay, so Gale's crazy powerful, right? What could he have possibly lost that's greater than all this?

Well...

Abjuration: Spell Resistance: Gale was in tune enough with the Weave that he could resist spells (as well as gaining advantage on saving throws against them)

Evocation: Overchannel: Gale could deal maximum damage on a 1-5 level spell without ill effect on first cast, but suffered unresisted necrotic damage when using it again

Necromancy: Command Undead: Gale could bring undead made by other wizards under his control

Conjuration: Durable Summons: Gale could give anything he summoned a temporary shield against damage (30 temp HP)

Enchantment: Alter Memories: Gale could make someone unaware they were charmed by him, as well as make them forget something that happened during that charmed period

Divination: Greater Portent: Gale used to be able to predict more split second decisions ahead with ease

Illusion: Illusory Reality: Gale used to be able to pull shadow magic together into illusions and make them, temporarily, real. He can still do a limited version of this, but only via concentration to keep the threads together (hence the "anatomically correct" illusory wizard in the Drow twins scene; shadow magic is NOT the same as the Shadow Weave)

Transmutation: Master Transmuter: Gale could consume magic stored in his transmuter's stone in one go, using it to transmute one object into another, remove curses, diseases, and poisons, raise the dead, or reduce a creature's apparent age by up to 30 years

Storm Sorcery: Storm's Fury: Gale could react with lightning damage when struck physically Wind Soul: Gale was immune to lightning and thunder damage, could fly at a speed of 60 feet, and could reduce his flying speed to 30 feet for 1 hour to make four additional people fly

Yeah. Ouch. And that's not even including his former Chosen abilities.

Gale's Chosen abilities

Silver Fire: Gale could command pure energy of the Weave in the form of silver-white flame, which, at his command, could destroy anything in its path, banish dead magic areas, restore torn Weave, purge external magic and psionic effects from his own body, teleport without error to the last location he used the ability at, or cast spells without verbal, somatic, or material components

Mantle: Gale could cast the dangerous Mantle spell without suffering any ill effects, while other wizards casting the spell would suffer a drain of life force as long as it persisted

Weave Detection: Gale could detect magic's presence without the use of a spell

Weave Tapping: Gale could cast high level spells repeatedly without losing a spell slot, although this was discouraged by Mystra

On the page for Mystra's Chosen abilities, it says that sometimes her Chosen gained an immunity to magic, as well as disease and poison. I don't think Gale was so lucky, however; in the House of Healing, he mentions that he once turned himself in to a hospice in Waterdeep for a "bout of ruddy pox." Him having turned himself in implies he was an adult at the time, and should, therefore, already be Mystra's Chosen.

All that to say: behold, Gale of Waterdeep, in his original splendor. How the mighty have fallen.

Embers Academy Spellcasting Tournament: Potions (Group 2)

potion challenge group 1

rules:

everyone’s needs are locked. i don’t want anyone to be at a disadvantage because they got stuck in simulation lag or spent all their time in bathroom line with other 31 people

they have 12 hours to learn 3 potions through practice. for each potion learned they get 24 points, plus 1 point for each full half an hour left after the last learned potion

autonomy is off, but if someone decides to leave their cauldron for whatever reason, i let them finish that action that distracted them before returning them to the task. their fault if they’re easily distracted, a spellcaster must have patience and grit

the second group: Capri Seguin, Yasu Bando, Mindy Carol, Marnix Thornwood, Clotho Moirai, Junis Haydn, Renata Morales, and Nadith Wolfsbane

capri is moongazing and taking a moment to stress out while her mentor is sleeping... because after that he'll be awake and watching

ayrin came to emotionally support her sibling

by the way, ayrin met marnix before the challenge (don't worry, she's not a ghost, just working as spectral vendor at the time) and had an immediate crush, so she also dropped by to talk to him. though no crush will stop her from telling him her honest opinion on that nasty potion of his

and zinnia drags him into something not very legal

you'd think clotho was an aphrodite in disguise, the way they constanty thought and talked about love. their grades in potions are not very high, but they had four love interests by the time previous group finished the challenge so they didn't waste time

renata looked cool and worked hard, but didn't do very well...

nadith and yasu taking turns looking at their cauldrons like they don't understand what they're doing

yasu even had time to look at his phone. apparently he's good at multitasking, because he ended up doing the best in his group

poor baby, so tired

mindy worked so hard that even after she was told to stop, she kept stirring a nonexistent potion with a nonexistent spoon

sir caesar is outta here, bye

results:

junis, yasu and mindy - learned three potions each, well done!

nadith and capri - learned two potions each. capri wasn't learning anything for a long time (maybe because she secretly ate some herbal ingredients), but closer to the end she got a hang of it

clotho and renata - learned one potions each. it's okay, just means their magical talents lie elsewhere.

marnix - also learned one potion, but almost got a girlfriend and a shady business, so i'd say he already won in a sense :D

UNA SMIT-VATORE for @cawthorntales SWEET AS HONEY BC

NAME: Una Smit-Vatore (she/her) AGE: Young Adult (mid 20s) LIFE STATE: Human. Her father, Caleb Vatore, is a vampire, but Una didn't get the trait. And unlike spellcasters and werewolves, non-vampires don't inherit anything genetic (weak bloodline, dormant wolf etc) from parents, so she shouldn't be flagged as anything in your game. HOME WORLD: Windenburg, currently residing in Mt. Komorebi TRAITS: Bookworm, Overachiever, Dog Lover, Werewolf Ally - plus a few others from the satisfaction points redemption store. ASPIRATION: Renaissance Sim CAREER: Florist

more

Una is a homebody, in a kind of outdoorsy way. She loves a good book, sure, but she's equally likely to be found pottering in her garden or fishing in a nearby pond (I have no idea why Mt. Komorebi has so few fishing spots) as she is curled up with one. It isn't so much some capitalist dogma to make the most of her 'leisure' time as that Una genuinely finds these things relaxing and fun.

Growing up as the eldest of such a busy household, Una nevertheless felt that her caregivers had plenty of time for her and they tried to avoid the unfortunate trope where the eldest sibling ended up as a third parent for the youngest (Caleb with his super speed and not needing to sleep was particularly good for this). However she also had to make her own entertainment a lot of the time. The television was often broken thanks to her werewolf stepfather, Lou Howell, but there were plenty of toys and books, a piano in the living room - and a garden with bees (and Patchy!).

Thus she came to enjoy her own company - and while she tends to keep the friends that she makes, her naturally reserved nature and the reality of adulting post college means that family aside, her social circle is rather small.

She's a favourite of the four legged denizens of the world, however.

Una signed up for the challenge to... challenge herself, and to try something new. While she's curious about Ian and would love to meet him (and Razzle!), she's realistic about her chances and is not expecting true love to come of it. If she makes some new friends (both of the two and four legged variety), then Una would count this as a win.

Which isn't to say that she's adverse to something else budding, however...

OUTFITS & NOTES

Has a reasonable amount of maxis match cc, mostly from @ice-creamforbreakfast as I wanted a vaguely retro vibe that wasn't really supported by the packs.

No defaults apart from her feet, which I still haven't figured out how to get rid of. She has cc eyelashes that clash with rings - I couldn't find a version that I liked which didn't.

I added "genius" and "neat" to her traits but realised that without Growing Together, you may be restricted to only three. So if you have mods that allow more, feel free to readd them.

I've been playing her since infancy and am largely not pack restricted, so if the game tells you that you don't have necessary packs installed, it's likely just a childhood trait or skill and shouldn't impact her playability.

And yup, once again I am pooling from my 100 baby challenge spawn lololol.

(If people are interested in having a cc free version of Una to download, I can eventually work on that ^^)

she's the one writing the fic asdklfjjklasdfh

Lesbian

grew up in Ashgrove, moved to Elmville after going to college

very very interested in the intersectionality of the solesian monarchy but also like. gets so distracted by the minutiae

"clementine isn't this paper about the tapestries?" "yeah why" "you've gone on about the presence of embroideries in grave sites.." "oh. oh shit that's not. that's not that relevant D:" "nope"

entirely honestly like everyone else here half the spell levels were picked up by necessity for the craft and the other half were just from studying a bunch of spellcasters

Mimi Keenvale

Lightfoot Halfling

Linguistic Anthropologist (especially Common and Halfling and what hybrid languages have come out of them)

Divination Wizard Level 4

their token straight (she's very much not cis) (she/he pronouns and also she can only explain his gender in elvish that is somehow entirely untranslatable even through a comprehend langauge)

he's married to a lovely half-elf (they all think his name is richmond but nobody's actually sure) she met here in solace and somehow every time there's an unplanned group call they're trying to have a date night

very much "nora baby are you back in the temple again?" "(anguished) I'M BACK IN THE TEMPLEEEE" "oh, god... well babe i gotta go stop my friends from tearing out their hair and skin besides"

so put together and then he misses one (1) trance and it's entirely "aren't you tired of being nice? don't you just want to go apeshit??"

was so close to being shatterstarred well and truly she spends so much time in that goddamn temple and when she saw the name reappear. i fear she began sobbing and proclaiming she was going to "destroy the building with her own two horns" before turning into a ram and needing to be restrained by the rest of the group

there's a reason their groupchat is named "i'm back in the fucking temple"

she's been trying to figure out who ankarna was for 17 years

very tense relationship with clementine. they're besties but also if You Touch My Stuff I'll Kill You <3 they work really closely together out of the six of them, along with Vera, so it happens. vera ends up being the mediator and they are so tired of this bullshit

She and Nora pray together! absolute asscrack of dawn praying time and if the whole group is together at least one person's going to wake up grumbling because they can hear them from the next room before remembering Oh That's My Friends and falling back asleep

they're solidly the middle ground person of the group and god do they hate it

[changingplumbob]

Glenn: So how do you feel about your first child

Silver: Pardon?

Glenn: Oakley, the treefish. He's technically our furbaby

Silver: But he didn't look like he had fur

Glenn: I know but still, accepting a child with me, that's a good step towards family right

Silver: I suppose but he's not exactly a dragon. Ah ha, a walleye. You'll let us cook this one right

Glenn: Yes Beefcake, we can cook that one. But...

Silver: You have a nice butt

Glenn: *laughing* I was just going to say I already had some fish set aside for tonight

Packing up the pair head back to Glenn's house. This time Silver holds Glenn's hand the whole way, rather than simply waiting for when they need to cross the spell barrier. It's warmer inside so the sweaters come off before dinner time.

Silver: Another plant shirt

Glenn: I like pretty shirts

Silver: Well they look good on you

Glenn: Thanks

Silver: They'd also look really great on your floor

Glenn: I know I have dinner already set but it doesn't make the fish you caught any less impressive, or you any less impressive

Silver: Are you trying to flirt with me

Glenn: That rather depends on if it's working

Silver: Oh it is. In fact I-

*GROWLING STOMACH*

Glenn: Shoot, what were you saying

Silver: *laughs* It doesn't matter because your belly clearly needs food

Glenn: Stupid belly. Fine, I guess dinner it is

As he got up and gathered ingredients Glenn wondered if some of the stories he heard about werewolves were true. I mean, who better to ask than a werewolf?

Glenn: Hey Beefcake, you don't have to tell me if you don't want but are you like allergic to silver bullets

Silver: Do you think my mum would have chosen my name if I was

Glenn: Right, stupid question

Silver: Are you worried about me heading off

Glenn: Maybe

Silver: Don't be. It's pretty easy to avoid the hunters just by myself

Glenn: And what about wolfsbane

Silver: Yeah... that can do lasting damage. Like Grayson's scar

Glenn: Oh

Silver: But I don't plan on going near anyone with wolfsbane weapons

Glenn: And I don't plan to trip over my own feet but it still happens

Silver: I'll be careful. And use the phone smart

Glenn: Everyday? You'll tell me about all the plants you see?

Silver: I mean if you want to talk to me everyday, sure

They sat down to dinner and Glenn tucked in immediately.

Silver: Been wondering about werewolf myths have you

Glenn: *swallows* Mmhmm. Spellcasters don't have much research on other occults

Silver: It seems like most of the occults stay separate

Glenn: I think it's been safer that way

Silver: Since you want me to share I should tell you... male werewolves can get pregnant

Glenn: Wait, what? But you said same sex relationships were all hush hush back when you had your pack

Silver: Maybe romantic ones were but it was something we all knew and were taught about. For survival. Sometimes a pack would be wiped almost completely out save for a handful of males. So it became necessary to be able to reproduce in those conditions

Glenn: So I could get you pregnant *raises eyebrows suggestively*

Silver: Definitely not, it's werewolf specific

Glenn: So Oakley won't be getting any siblings?

Silver: Look, kids and all that, if that happens it'll be in the future. Far future. Like after we've decided what we are to each other future. I just... thought you deserved to know

Glenn: Wait- how do they get the babies out

Silver: Caesarean

Glenn: Oh well we couldn't let them cut your abs, it'd be such a waste

Silver: You seem a little ab obsessed

Glenn: Guilty. I like them okay! And yours are very impressive

Silver: I could stand to hear more of that

Glenn: You must know you're attractive

Silver: Not really. It's been ages since I've been intimate with anyone and styles and fashions have changed so much

Glenn: Well you carry your ancientness well

Silver: As opposed to what? Being a dust pile on the floor

Glenn: You're good looking Silver, I promise

A follow-up to -this- post, with the rest of the party. The Original Request: Hello. If you're willing and have the time, I jumbly request a TLOVM headcannon for the team having an s/o who steals their weapons and tries to figure out to use them. What would their reactions be and would they/how would they teach them to use the weapons?

Some credit to my lovely partner for giving me accurate info about their specific weapons. As well as a discussion on whether or not you can say Percy or Orthax invented Guns. -Finn

Percy

With anyone else in the party, there's a good chance you may have used a weapon like theirs before. But not Percy and his guns. These are his own inventions, new to Tal'Dorei completely.

They are also powered by exploding gunpowder. He is a little bit worried about letting you handle them.

Hearing a gunshot when he isn't causing it is a deep cause of concern for him, please don't steal his guns, just ask.

Percy will absolutely teach you! It's a chance to have his arms around you as he steadies your aim and stance.

He's a very...specific teacher. You have to make sure he doesn't get too wrapped up in the fine details. Keep him on track with how to shoot and he won't get way into the actual mechanics of the hammer of the gun.

Let him watch you shoot after you get the hang of it. He'll start to understand why you like watching him so much.

This man owns so many knives. He has a full-out collection of daggers. Hugging him is a dangerous prospect because you never know where one is hiding.

And with all the different daggers, it can't be that hard to steal one or two of them. How could he even notice?

Stealing them proves to be surprisingly hard. He doesn't store many of them, they always seem to be on his person.

But once you manage it, it's quite a lot of fun to handle a truly well-made dagger. In a fantasy world like this, every adventurer has held a dagger, but Vax turns it into an art and his tools reflect that.

They are also insanely sharp. Don't get too cocky with them.

He swipes them out of your hands when he finds you with them, and it's obvious just how experienced he is with handling knives. He can twist and spin them without a glance or a nick.

"Well, well, someone's got sticky fingers, hey love?"

He'll teach you how to throw them accurately and how to spin them without hitting your fingers. He will also tease you while you practice before you get the hang of it.

Scanlan

Scanlan doesn't particularly use a weapon! He's fairly strictly a spellcaster.

That being said, his instruments are likely the next best thing, particularly his lute. And that is his baby, best of luck stealing it.

If you ask him, he'll let you play it and he'll teach you during downtime. He will also serenade you for demonstrations.

He'll be annoyed if you take it without asking though. His music is a source of safety for him as much as a source of joy.

Let him teach you songs around the fire at night and serenade him in return. He won't stop smiling for ages.

Grog

Grog has had some...questionable weapons. Perhaps don't borrow Craven's Edge.

But borrowing his axe or his gauntlets is a world of fun. Even if they might not be well weighted for anyone who isn't as strong as he is.

You will quickly realize how much work goes into swinging his axe and it puts his effortless attacks into a very different light for you.

Grog laughs out loud when he sees you using his weapons, but it's full of fondness and affection.

Even if he isn't exactly academically clever, this is his skill set, he knows how to fight and he does it well. So he's a really good teacher as he corrects your stance and grip.

His teaching method also includes encouraging you to just swing at him, so you'll need a bit of courage and faith that you won't hurt him.

3.171 Happy birthday to ya

When it got closer to party time, Sophia and I moved the couch to the backyard for more seating options. Our parties always end up fragmented with some sims eating in the house and others on the patio. My goal is to keep everyone together, so hopefully this will help. We also moved the picnic blanket and put the portable crib outside to accommodate the little ones. Because we're friendly again, I invited Yasmine and her girls, but she declined. She doesn't know the other guests and didn't want anyone asking questions about Stacey. I completely understood but feel bad for her. This spellcaster business has really trapped her and the girls in their home.

Apart from my baby aging up, I'm most excited about having Dub and his family in our home for the first time. Between the deaths and parenthood, it's been super hard for us to connect lately. I guess I was naïve enough to believe it would be easier being in the same city, but life keeps proving it doesn't matter where we are. Life is going to life, and that's that. I suppose I'll have to be more intentional about hanging with him too.

"You got it smelling good out here, bro," a voice says from behind me.

That Henford accent is unmistakable, and I was so glad to hear it. I turned around and embraced him.

"Wassup, man! Did you find us okay? Welcome! Finally!"

"Right? Took you long enough!"

"Don't even play, man. You know how life is sometimes."

"Sure do. This house is nice! And the view!"

"Thanks. If you're able to stick around later, I'll give you the tour. Hey, where's Maia? Is she coming?"

"Yeah, she's running a little late. She's just finishing up a project for a client."

"Ahhh. See? San Sequoia has been good to you already. I'm glad her business is picking up."

There's no way Dub showed up alone, so I looked around for Tambara, knowing she couldn't be too far behind. I spotted her toddling across the yard, trying her best to catch up with her daddy.

"She's getting to be extremely independent these days," Dub said when he realized I was watching her. "She won't even let us pick her up anymore. I don't mind that so much, but waiting for her really slows me down."

"She'll get faster," I said, thinking about Desiree's determination. "Just give her time."

Tami and Desi look nothing alike, but I see glimpses of the immediate future in her proud face and wobbly gait. I want Desi to grow up and change the world, but I can't part with my little girl. At the same time, I'm anxious to see her continue to grow. I love watching her smash these milestones like the boss baby she is. Ugh. Fatherhood is just a melting pot of contradictions. How can I be happy and sad, proud and scared at the same time?

Tami finally made her way over to us, so I waved.

"Hey there! Do you remember me? I'm Luca. That's a pretty dress."

Her face lit up, and I knew it didn't matter if she remembered me or not. I was currently her new bestie. Flattery works at all ages, hee hee.

"What do you say when someone gives you a compliment?" Dub asked.

"I know," she shouted.

Me and Dub had a good laugh. She's so precocious, and I love it. Kids really do say the darndest things, and I can't wait to hear what Desi will have to say. Hopefully that's not a be careful what you wish for situation, heh.

"That's right, Tam," I said. "You better know it."

"How are you holding up?" Dub asked, wiping the smile off my face.

"I'm good. As good as I can be, rather. It gets a little better every day."

"I'm glad to hear it. I can't even think about what that's going to be like."

"It might sound morbid, but you should start thinking about it, man. It's the shock that's hard to get over."

"You play dollies with me," Tambara shouts.

That was probably supposed to be a question, but she's too excited about her new, big friend and it's too cute.

"Oh, no," Dub says to me. "You start that and she'll never let you go."

She's adorable, looking just like both of them. I hope she and Desi will like each other. It'll be a shame to have them fighting or snubbing each other when we hang out.

"You can play with Desiree later, okay?" he says.

"Speaking of... We should probably get this show on the road soon. Let me finish these ribs."

Chapter 7.2 - You Can't Go Home

AKIRA

As they filter off the train, the smell of iron gets further away and Akira finally begins to relax.

He asks her a ton of questions, partly because he's curious and partly because he wants to keep the focus off himself. Alice is in the middle of talking about her class when her body goes rigid.

Akira scans for a threat but comes up empty. Train stations are generally pretty clear of supernatural creatures, except low-level spellcasters and baby vampires at night. They aren’t much use when you can transportalate, turn into a bat, or run for miles in wolf form. And the fae avoid them altogether. 

“You good?” 

She flinches when he reaches for her hand. “I-I’m fine,” Her smile doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “Do you smoke? Weed, I mean, not cigarettes. I…I think I’m gonna smoke. Do you wanna come with me?”

“I thought you said you had to turn this assignment in,” he reminds her.

She stares across the platform, but he still can’t figure out what she’s looking at. 

“I’ll do it later. And you don’t have to come. That was weird of me to peer pressure you,” her laugh comes out high-pitched and wrong, “You're probably busy. I’m good. I’m gonna go. And you’ll go, and I’ll just see you later.”

She's babbling and her hands are shaking. There is no universe where he just leaves her like this.

“Yeah, I smoke," he takes her hand and leads her to the exit. "And I got time. No classes, remember?”

Akira has been to the Commons a few times (for creeper reasons), but he's never climbed the tower. The air is especially crisp, but Alice doesn't seem bothered by it.

Despite resisting earlier, he finds himself wishing she would extract some promise from him—some commitment to keep him tied to her. It's a terrible idea. He knows better. Akira has always been careful not to break one of the rules he’d learned by brute force.

“This is a shit weed,” he coughs.

“Hey!” Alice playfully points an accusatory finger, “I invite you to my secret perch and share my paltry stash, and you insult me?”

“You need a new dealer if this is your stash.”

“And a new bank account!” She laughs. “Try to chillax, my dude; you are working against the medicinal benefits.”

He tries. His lungs fill, but it takes three more rounds of coughing before he evens out. Alice, meanwhile, is a professional. She barely coughs, though she's had twice as much as him. He's not even sure she's high.

"Why photography?" he asks when she joins him on the bench.

"Most of the time, I get asked about painting; no one even thinks about photography."

He shrugs, "Your focus isn’t Fine Arts. Why am I gonna ask you about something you don’t do? You want me to guess?" When she nods, he waves a hand across the sky, pretending to paint a picture. "Art lets you remake the world in a more pleasing image, which is kind of nice because the world is shit. But you do photography because you want the shitty stuff upfront. No lies. You'd rather tango with the truth."

She straightens, suddenly alert. "Maybe. Kind of. But photography is also lies. All you do when you snap a picture is capture a moment in time. You can still tell yourself a story about the emotion you saw or what really happened. It's just a different kind of lie from painting."

The weed is definitely kicking in, but he likes her explanation.

"So what are you studying?" she asks.

Direct questions are the hardest to dodge. Especially now when he feels like he’s floating a hundred feet in the air. "I'm studying nothing," he says honestly. "I just follow what interests me."

"Why?"

"Because I have a lot of time." Infinite, actually, if he kept his head attached to his body and didn't end up on the wrong side of a curse.

"If I had time, that's what I'd do too. And catch up on back seasons of 7 Wild Dates."

Akira laughs, "Stop. I changed my mind. That show is moving to the bottom of my watch list."

“Don’t be mean!” Alice sticks out her tongue, "That's quality programming you're missing."

They smoke more and talk about nothing, which feels like talking about everything because Alice leaps from topic to topic. She knows a little about a vast number of subjects, like knowledge for her is a series of wading pools and she's just hopping from one body of water to another.

It's how Akira operates too. Once he gets the gist of something, he's ready to move on.

“Tell me one thing about you so you can stop accusing me of hanging out with a stranger," she says, "Where are you from?”

A flash of pink sky. 

A veil that never seems to part.

A home he can’t get back to.

The yearning is so real he jolts. “What if I told you that nothing about me or my life is what it seems? And because I don’t want to lie to you, you’re probably gonna find I won’t answer all your questions. Maybe any of them.”

Alice thinks for a minute. “I guess I’d say tell me what you can, not what you can’t.”

Akira wants to praise her wordplay. He wants to kiss her. He does neither.

“I love horror movies,” he confesses, “When I was like, 10, I snuck into the Moonlight Massacre Marathon at the theater downtown, and I was fuckin’ hooked.” 

The whole story comes tumbling out, even the part about Titania being a little shit and ratting him out to their parents. Alice laughs and complains about her step-sibling, and Akira viciously guards every drop of information she shares with him.

“I like horror movies too. If I throw in Moonlight Massacre II, will that elevate 7 Wild Dates on your watch list?”

His phone buzzes with a reminder about tonight’s job. He gets to his feet. “Next time,” he tells her.

“You promise?”

A promise is a dangerous thing. 

—A binding thing. 

A vow. 

No promises. 

Akira nods, “Yeah, I promise.”

Fandorm Showcase #4 - The Emperor's New Groove

Okay, a bit of a funny thing I did with these dorms is that they're made to be a kind of parallel to the main seven dorms in terms of vibe or theme. So, the fact this would have a similar plotline to Scarabia's story is just too good to not bring it up.

Presenting the magnificent dorm inspired by the Emperor's New Groove...

Aztesurco!

The name is taken from Aztec (the overall ethnicity of the movie) and surco (which is groove in quechuan), and it's mostly inspired by Yzma, the main villain of the movie.

"Heh, really rolls off the tongue huh?"

This dorm centers around having eccentricity and flair, as well the intelligence and strategic mind to boot. They also specializes in transfiguration potionology and spells, which requires skilled alchemy knowledge or magical prowess to achieve in order to become the housewarden. However...that rule doesn't seem to apply with the current presiding housewarden.

"Why do you even need to meet the requirements? Clearly only one dude gets the job done, and it's yours truly!"

"A dorm founded on the eccentric advisor's spirit of ambition. Students in this dorm all have their own groove and ambitions to be on top."

"Oh sure, make it all about that wrinkly old fossil of a woman, as if she's any greater..."

Requirements and Traits:

"Someone get me a marker, I'm making some changes to this list!"

Have knowledge in alchemy and advanced spellcasting No need for all that mumbo-jumbo

Eccentric and full of personal groove Eh, I'll let this one slide.

Able to handle responsibilities and tasks properly with careful planning Boooooorrrring~

Just be as cool as I am!

Be the greatest future emperor!

Onto the dorm uniform desigsn:

For this dorm, I wanted to keep the color palette close to Yzma as possible while also incorporating some designs of Kuzco into the main housewarden fit. (Cuz spoilers, the housewarden is the Kuzco of this dorm)

"Not a bad fit, if I do say so myself~"

Now introducing the character roster...

The ever-so-amazing housewarden of Aztesurco...

"Boom baby! It is yours truly!"

Khuno Nisqa! (Twisted off Emperor Kuzco)

Future emperor of the sun empire!

Khuno is...a very eccentric kid his whole life. Everything he can ask for is served on a silver platter due to his background of the only remaining royal heir of the Nisqa family after the previous emperor (his late father) of the Sun Empire passed away due to illness. Because of this spoiled lifestyle, he has prided himself of always be in charge of everything and everyone else under his jurisdiction. He is the first ever NRC student to be a housewarden on the first semester, which is freshmen year. He didn't have to do anything or follow a rule, he was simply given the role by flaunting his wealth and status to Crowley. Unlike Kalim, he's very self-absorbed and prideful in his rich and royal status, and would abuse said status to get what he wants. Because, clearly, nobody gets that he will be on top no matter the costs. But it did gain a seething hatred from his second-hand advisor and vice housewarden...

"A bit of a complex way to say it, but yeah, I'm great!...What was that last part?"

Notable Members:

Yves Pocion (Vice Housewarden, Junior) - Khuno's long-time royal advisor for the Nisqa family for years...until Khuno's dismissal of his advisor role to someone new due to the fact he's "passed his prime", causing a deep-seeded hatred for the young heir. (Twisted off Yzma)

Masi Yanuy (Sophomore) - A thick-headed bimbo who is Yves's friend and loyal servant that can always cook up nice meals for any occasion despite his lack of brains. (Twisted off Kronk)

Miyu Donna (Sophomore) - A venomous individual that spites anyone who irritates them in the slightest, but shows a side of interest for Yves's ideas. (Twisted off the llama extract/poison for Kuzco)

"Hah hah, what a cast, amirite?"

Synopsis:

Winter break is almost over (and thankfully another Overblot crisis averted in Scarabia), our main protagonists have stepped into another problem before school officially reopens in spring. Their Ramshackle building is at risk of being turned into a summer home thanks to the spoiled brat of a housewarden of Aztesurco, Khuno Nisqa, and have to do whatever it takes to protect their only accommodation. Meanwhile, the vice housewarden of Aztesurco, Yves Pocion, is plotting in the background to take down the spoiled heir because of his disregard for his years of wasted life with the help of his bumbling friend, Masi Yanuy.

Chaos ensues on both sides of the situation, all because of a simple potion mix-up...

(Occurs between after Book 4 and before Book 5)

As I said before, the plotline for this one is similar to Scarabia's but involves a lot more risks, which is like the perfect parallel.

"Hey, don't just ignore me!"

That is all for Aztesurco's introduction! See you in the next fandorm showcase!

"I'm still relevant, right?"

Next Up: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

(This will be explained when the showcase post is up)

season of ghosts // ethren & flora & keisha & maria & tess

i haven't been online much lately, but i was doing a few renders for my tabletop campaign and figured i'd post about it.

after going through all the trouble of making a pathfinder party with some of my pixel buddies, my partner and i ended up settling on season of ghosts, an adventure path requiring a different party composition, set in a different region (still pathfinder though). Tian Xia is essentially fantasy Asia. everyone except Tess has been rebuilt.

Something strange is happening to your hometown of Willowshore! Nestled on the banks of a river winding through the legendary Specterwood in Tian Xia’s haunted land of Shenmen, the people of Willowshore are no strangers to supernatural threat, but the danger that comes to town on the first day of summer is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Over the four seasons to come, you and your fellow home-grown heroes must face evil spirits, sinister fiends, and frightening curses, lest the town of Willowshore succumb to the Season of Ghosts!

i'm running this for just me and my partner, and we're really enjoying it so far! i saw a recommendation to add a dhampir (vampire spawn) to the party for thematic reasons. flora or even tess were the obvious choices, but i'm attached to their changeling/aiuvarin (half-elf) heritages and decided instead to go for Keisha, who very much looked the part once I lightened her eyes and gave her fangs.

Ethren (Aiuvarin druid, cultivation order) - the party's main healer, focuses on actual medicine rather than healing spells. It's important to have him around because Keisha, as a dhampir, is harmed by divine healing spells. I have him in the cultivation order bc of his neat trait.

Flora (changeling swashbuckler braggart) - literally her whole thing is she says mean things to her enemies and, if she hurts their feelings badly enough, she does massive damage when she eventually runs them through with her sword. also she's good at dodging. her eyes don't match because her mom was a hag (who ate her dad).

Keisha (dhampir oracle of bones) - her whole thing is being SPOOKY. a spooky spooky lady - dhampir oracle of bones??? so spooky! she's the team's backup healer and the face of the group. She isn't as squishy as Tess, but she's still pretty fragile.

Maria (human wood/metal dual gate kineticist) - the player guide recommended wood/metal as a good thematic fit, so I went with it! she hits hard, she can take a hit, and she can grow trees mid-battle that enemies will attack instead of her teammates.

Tess (Aiuvarin psychic, oscillating wave/precise discipline) - same as before, she sets stuff on fire/freezes stuff with her brain. she needs some coddling, but when used to her full potential she's the hardest-hitting spellcaster in the party. she'll crumble to dust if you sneeze on her wrong (11 HP whatsuppppp, Maria has 21), but her spells have ridiculous range (120ft for her main ice spell, 60ft for her main fire spell) so she can stay away from danger.

Ultimately, despite the fact that both Keisha and Flora went down in the first boss battle, we did very well. My team of L1 babies took down a L3 buso and 4 L1 jinkins at once. and Ethren was able to fix Keisha and Flora, so all good!

Minerva Mystic

Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Active, Loyal

Extras: She comes from The Occult Baby Challenge

She is HOH (Hard of hearing) from her left ear

She is the third oldest of 8 siblings at the moment

Being born in a big family full of supernaturals made her touch with magic always easy for her, but the time to experiment was always cut short taking care of her younger siblings, she being the third eldest. She like taking care of them but what she loves the most is gardening, it started in her childhood and to see the little seeds grow into full on trees bring joy into her young mature heart.

Minerva tends to deal with her stress with exercise, having supernatural siblings of different species made the environment of her childhood/teenage years a little challenging but it removed prejudices that many supernaturals have among themselves.

It was after most of her siblings were big enough to take care by themselves that her mother asked about her aspirations, her mother knew that magic always was calling her but her siblings also needed that help on those early years discovering themselves, it made her sad to see one her eldest child mature so quickly but know she could enjoy her passion. With a crushing hug from her mom and numerous yelled childlike farewells, Minerva entered the Magic Realm, committed to work her hardest, even entering a Tournament.

She is free to download, I only used that CC on her, the rest of her outfits are enterely from EA :)

You can also take off her hat sometimes if it brings problems to see her face on screenshots

The moment I saw this challenge in my wild search I just jumped of excitement! The Ember Academy Spellcaster Tournament from @adelarsims itches my love for occult Sims and it gave me the opportunity to give a makeover to this girl. I hope y'all love her, as I say she is free to download :>
