#i wanna draw the gang as furries :(

[poltergeist-punk]

sowwy i dogboyed ur autistic </3

[fzjp]

Learning to draw the rest of the Krew to gain some muscle memory and I'm having fun drawing Torbek!! I enjoy drawing his pathetic wet cat bugbear face!!

I'm excited to draw Gricko, Twig seems easy I just have to rewatch ep 19 to get her description

But Frost and Hootsie??? A tiger tabaxi and an owlbear???? Yeah ok we'll see...

[bartholomewillustrated]

I started earlier this weekend trying to work on the actual important thing I'm supposed to be working on but found that after about two weeks of being unable to draw due to Scheduling it was Not going to happen and be a good time and result in something I liked. So I came back to Bedfellows to help me get back into it... can't say I'm feeling Vastly more confident in myself, but just being loose and making a buncha cartoony little guys has helped. A bit. If nothing else.

There are like.. two strata of Ideas I have in terms of comics; ones i'm gunning to make and ones I just like to rotate in my mind for fun...

This weekend, in an effort to still draw something while I got some much needed rest, I figured the most low-stakes thing I could conjure would be the cast of the comedy-slice-of-life comic featuring my irl stuffed animals as characters would be a good choice fkskfjf it's a lot of designs i could just get really shapey on and didn't have to be too serious about =w=

I will Finally be able to draw some Laz soon I promise.. i just needed a bit of a breather that wasn't gunna stress me out.. i'm Very excitrd to get back to him though i miss him so much 😭

[burning-sol]

i was initially just going to draw vyncent but i figured why not draw the rest of the gang since they've been in my head?

vyncent i wanna give a really mismatched outfit and im not sure exactly what itll look like but it was good to put colour on page at the least. their hair is grown out longer on his left because why not, yeag. ive been thinking abt them a little btw, and i think itd be interesting if he swung from a kill the bad guy to spare the bad guy mentality after basically being forced into the position of hurting others against their will. like they start overthinking things and are more hesitant to deal deadly blows.

anyways, ashe i wasnt sure if i wanted to commit to blue as a primary colour but i was already planning on making the trickster blue, and it fits with the ghostly, death obsessed sort of theme (funny how will and ashe swapped colours huh), so yeah whatevs. trickster blue blue blue trickster blue trickster!!!

mwahahah and now you finally get to behold kota kill after they have returned from space, as i have been thinking abt. i think itd be funny if kota is genuinely not sure whether he wants to kill everyone or not. kota has found tranquility in their time away from earth..... but also he COULD kill everyone. idk it's an idea on the back burner k? feed him he hasnt eaten in soooooo long.

and ive been trying to think of what sort of powers wight would gain over time since she is going out of her way to consume more spirits and become more powerful. and so far the only thing ive really gravitated towards is her morphing into a werewolf because hell yeah, she's already got that energy about her. william wisp refuses to believe he is a furry he REFUSES no fucking way....

[sfa2fin]

I decided to open commissions! This is my first time opening them, so I hope this goes well.

First, I am very very busy. I’m a student. So these will probably take a long while to get done considering i sont have a lot of time in my hands. I’m just gonna take 2 slots. Again, first time doing this, I have no idea how it goes, I’m very kinda winging things. (- -;;

Half body - $50

These count as half body I think.

Icon/Headshot - $25

I think it’s called a headshot?

Chibi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - $15

•importantsndn:

I only can accept PayPal

also, about the backgrounds, I can only do mostly solid color backgrounds or backgrounds like in the half body examples. So please, don’t ask for anything scenic or with buildings. It’ll turn out horrid and you won’t get your money’s worth. :c

•What I won’t draw: big complex armor or machines - furries (sry gang) - animals - heavy gore - NSFW - scenic backgrounds - big buff men :c - more than 2 people

Okay!!: suggestive - light gore - demihumans

you can use the commissioned piece for whatever, pfps and whatnot

★Contacting!!:

if you wanna commission, you can ask thru DMs, discord or email!(disc: yanagiideth)

(email: utatanefin@gmail.com)

and I think that's about it.

Thhhhhhhhank you (^^;;

norgri family incorrect quotes because this is what i do when i cant draw ft. Kuft-Alum

Varholt: Ha! Don't you know the trapper’s trap can trap the trapper? Varholt: I must be losing it, I'm quoting Ny Norgrimark.

Natalia: If I ever had a child, I imagine they would be a lot like you. Andolont: Aww, thanks— Natalia: Which is probably why I’ve never reproduced.

Squad is playing Among Us Gudridarstrond: I believe Varholt is innocent, I was with her the whole time. Hlyttland, what were you doing? Hlyttland: Oh, I was just murdering… I mean, nothing!

Ny Norgrimark: If you aren't someone the church wanted dead 300 years ago, are you really living?

Gudridarstrond: Hello friends! The Squad: Gudridarstrond: You might be wondering why I’m taped to the ceiling

Ny Norgrimark is comforting Varholt Ny Norgrimark: Stop crying because it’s over. Start smiling because Andolont is someone else’s problem now.

Gudridarstrond: Physically, yes, I could fight a bird, but emotionally? Imagine the toll!

Hlyttland: I wish I was a cat, but not in a furry kinda way, more like a “I can sleep all day and hit people with no consequences” kinda way.

Gudridarstrond: You look mentally ill. Varholt: I am. Let’s go.

Varholt: Now, the recipe calls for two shots of vodka. Varholt: *Upends the bottle*

Andolont: I didn’t want to do it, no one else wanted to do it, so I made Varholt do it!

Gudridarstrond: That’s the longest worm I’ve ever seen. Varholt: That’s a snake.

Varholt: walks into the room Gudridarstrond: She’s covered in blood again. Why is it that she’s always covered in blood? Kuft-Alum: Well, it looks like it’s her own blood this time.

Varholt: I have issues. Andolont: Finally, you admit it! The first step to redemption is accept- Varholt: With you.

Varholt: Wow. I keep stepping on a lot of crunchy twigs. Andolont: Those are bones, Varholt. Varholt: looks straight up Not if I never look down.

The gang responding to being stabbed by a sword Gudridarstrond: Rude. Hlyttland: That's fair. Ny Norgrimark: Not again. Varholt: Are you gonna want this back or can I keep it?

Kuft-Alum: When surrendering, Varholt is to hand the sword over HILT first.

Varholt: Be right back, gonna hit the toilet for a quick power sob.

The squad is asked what they would do with 5 children with only 3 chairs. Gudridarstrond: Get two more chairs! Ny Norgrimark: They can get their own chairs. Hlyttland: Make them fight for it. Andolont: You only need one chair to beat them all with. Varholt: Kill two.

Hlyttland: Who else is hiding in the laundry room trying to listen to Andolont and Zerzura's convo? Ny Norgrimark: Me. I'm in the laundry basket. Gudridarstrond: I'm in the washing machine. Varholt: I'm in the closet. Ny Norgrimark: We accept you, Varholt. <3 Varholt: No, I'm literally in the closet. Ny Norgrimark: Love is love. <3

Teacher: Your child was in a fight. Andolont and Haraldr: Did they win?

Priest: ….Thou shalt not marry each other, for thy art both sinful… Haraldr: I just wanna fucking marry Andolont!!

Hlyttland: The floor is lava! Gudridarstrond: helps Ny Norgrimark onto the counter Kuft-Alum: kicks Varholt off the sofa Varholt: lays on the floor Kuft-Alum: …Are you okay? Varholt: No.

Varholt: Ah ready for another fantastic day of being better than Andolont.

Denmark, teaching Andolont to drive: Okay, you're driving and Varholt and Kuft-Alum walk into the road. Quick, what do you hit? Andolont: Oh, definitely Kuft-Alum. I could never hurt my sister. Denmark, massaging her temples: The brakes. You hit the brakes.

Arc V Anniversary Day 17: Cutest Headcanons

ok now it’s time for some fluff

Yoko’s former gang stayed super close even after they all broke up, and so Yuya has like fifteen aunties who swing by at random times to spoil him. Yoko never tells him where she met them so he never knew they used to be in a gang.

Tsukikage secretly writes poetry and he’s got a little black notebook that he hides in his ninja suit to keep it in.

Sora lives with the Sakakis post-canon and Yoko teaches him how to bake.  He finds it immensely relaxing.

Yuzu and Yuya make it their mission to get Reiji to acclimate to no longer having a war to fight by dragging him out of his office and finding new hobbies for him to try since he literally doesn’t have Any.  He eventually finds himself enjoying knitting and crossword puzzles.

Reiji is Done with his parents’ bullshit post-canon and buys a house in Yuya’s neighborhood, moving out with baby Reira.  Cue domestic Reiji struggling to learn how to care for an infant by himself, cue Yoko deciding that she is adopting both of them and Reiji being over almost constantly with baby Reira, who then gets spoiled by the entire Sakaki family as well as Yuya’s “aunties.”

Ruri is a Precure fan and she gets the other girls super into it.  Yugo also becomes a Precure fan.  yes, precure exists as a franchise in arc v. no i will not elaborate.

Ruri is really, REALLY into cosplay.  Yuzu and Rin don’t really get into it, but as soon as Selena finds out about it from Ruri she gets MAD into it. 

Yes, she does in fact get into fursuits.  Selena is a furry but she will not admit it.

Yuuri is not used to physical affection but when he gets it (ex: from Yoko), he’s so shocked that he just kind of sits there until he realizes that hey actually this is quite nice don’t stop doing it just like a cat

i could go on but it’s late and i’m tired and i still wanna draw dslkfja;

[coefore]

Hey hope this isnt weird or annoying but I really wanna try getting into Transformers the series, but there's quite a few series and comics and I was wondering where would be a good place to start for like watching the series? I just adore your art and after seeing the movie bumblebee I really wanna try getting into the series!

Cracks knuckles, here we go.

I’m going to take your ask as an example for anyone else that will ask me about this in the future!! First of all, thank you for the compliment!! I’m happy my drawings were a gateway for your interest in transformers!

So from here on, a list with my personal opinions on the shows/comics and different continuities which you can dig into. I will mention things that exist but I will not put ratings on them if I didn’t watch/read them!! It’s just to help you out with names!

CARTOONS

G1 - The Transformers (1984): You can easily find it online if you just type ‘g1 cartoon’. It’s like, awful but in a charming way. It’s the Good Awful. It’s mindless fun and randomness for kids that was the staple of 80s American cartoons, so you can start from here if you want to get a jest of who the main names are and what they are like, in very broaddefinitions (ex. Megatron, Optimus Prime, Starscream, Bumblebee etc.). It has no plot and your brain will melt after 24 episodes. G1 is 98 episodes. 5/10

BW - Transformers Beast Wars/Beast Machines(1996-1999/1999-2000): I haven’t watched it, so no rating but it’s G1 in the future. IN CGI! All the previous characters are dead and the main factions are the Predacons (Megatron's sly gang) vs the Maximals (OP’s furry friends). These bots turn into organic animals. Megatron is a bi dinosaur? I don’t know ok. Optimus Primal (!) is agorilla so good luck with that. Apparently S2 sucks.

TFA - Transformers Animated (2007-2009): This is a completely unrelated universe, we have a smaller cast comprised of 5 autobots+1 child and 4 decepticons, plus cameos of other characters. OP is the Young (!) leader of the earth-based group but like, he is not the leader of the autobots. It’s another guy with a hammer. Also, the decepticons have lost the war! Megatron has been living in exile while trying to regain some power, crashes onto Earth and is consequentially Tortured By Humans For 50 years before getting freed by his minions and, honestly? I would have tried to kill us all too. Relatable motive. Also, he has no idea who the hell OP is, which is funny. The designs are… peculiar. Many chins are involved.

The show, to me, is very polarising in its comedy and characters’ writing so it all depends if you like the type of style of American cartoons from the late 00s. Personally, absolutely not my genre. Cool Japanese opening tho. 6.5/10

This show was cancelled before reaching a proper ending so it’s left kinda… out there.

TFP - Transformers Prime (2011-2013): Another completely unrelated universe, called “Aligned Universe”(!), which also comprises some games and other shows later in the list. We have the autobots and the decepticons running around on Earth to scavenge resources, our teams have 6 autobots+3 kids and 7decepticons? It… depends who you count as a decepticon I guess. Here we have extremely kinetic fight scenes and stylish designs, even though they need quite a bit of getting used to, in all honesty. I am still not over Megatron’s design. I will never be over Megatron’s design. The stakes are high when the climaxes hit, and in general, the episodes are well crafted and well executed. Look, the kids are realistic enough to be taken seriously (even though one of them is annoying sometimes but u know kids are annoying) and I actually cared for them so that’s also a plus! I will defend the TFP kids with my life, fight me. I definitely suggest this show if you want a taste of the Transformers universe. 8/10

This show was given one movie to wrap things up before being cancelled, since it was too expensive to produce.

RID15 – Transformers: Robots in Disguise(2015-2017): Aligned Universe, a direct continuation of TFP. Bumblebee leads a team of three autobots and a half (1 minibot), they have two human companions who have adecent father-son relationship and shenanigans ensue. Also OP is a ghost (?)(????) with massive shoulders. Megatron gets distracted for five seconds and his decepticon ranks are full of furries. I’ve watched one season of this and I am still mourning the cute and colourful designs because this sucks and it’sboring. 4/10

TRB – Transformers: Rescue Bots (2012-2016):  Aligned Universe, a side story of TFP. IT’S!!!!!!!!! BABIES!!!!!!!!! It’s a show, for babies with babies!!!!!! I guess??? I haven’twatched it but I’ve heard it’s wholesome and cute. Very simple, no stakes, the tiny cast is all of new characters leaded by Heatwave. He looks like a grumpy yet reliable boy, I trust him. There are some OP cameos? Is he... a ghost?

Machinema – Transformers: Power of the Primes trilogy (2017): They are youtube shorts, another universe. Like, there are three other people besides me who have watched this shitshow. The plot is convoluted and doesn’t make sense, but if you really wanna have fun seeing the sassiest Megatron ever written, go ahead. He uses the word “precious”, so you know. 4/10

TFC – Transformers: Cyberverse (2018): A different universe, yet again! This cartoon is on crack. The aesthetics are adorable, honestly, they all look like they have garter belts and cat eye makeup. For the story, it’s clumsy and silly, but it does have an underlining plot that builds over the course of S1, even though the action isn’t great and sometimes characters can be written in a rush. You can start from here if you want. Bumblebee has lost his memory and tracks back the history of cybertron thanks to his friend, Windblade! You actually see Cybertron’s golden age before the war, there are no humans (even if it’s set on Earth) and it’s just pure fun tbh. It’s not Superb but I love it. Wholesome. 7/10

COMICS

Marvel comics: I haven’t read these, yet. Sounds like a bad idea.

Dreamwave Comics: I have NEVER heard anyone talk about these comics and I haven’t read them, but I know the company failed mid universe so I guess it’s not worth the trouble as a first dip into the franchise.

IDW Comics: This… this is a long beast that just ended after 12 years. It is a very, very long read, usually linked by red threads inbetween titles, but some stories are more stand alone-ish than others so I will suggest you these with my ratings, even though I'll link you this otherlist for the chronological order. 

- Megatron Origins (7/10)

- The Wreckers Saga (Last stand of the Wreckers, Sins of the Wreckers) (8.5/10)

- Spotlights I personally love: Megatron (7/10), Kup (8/10), Wheelie (7/10), Trailcutter (6/10), Hoist (6/10)

- All Hail Megatron (6.5/10)

- Optimus Prime (maybe I can give it a 7)

- Death of Optimus Prime (8/10)

- More Than Meets The Eye (8.5/10)

- Lost Light (7/10)

MOVIES

Transformers: THE MOVIE (1985): You have to watch this with as little knowledge as possible. Please. You can even start from this. Trust me. 8/10

Transformers: Prime - Predacon Rising (2013): It’s TFP the movie in which Optimus does the same thing he does in 1985 and the decepticon doctor gets offended. 6.5/10

Bayverse (2007-2017): No

Bumblebee (2018): yes

AND HERE ITIS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR DEEP DIVE INTO THIS MASTODON.

In Search of Treasure

As Robyn, Isolde, and Nula returned from the constable, they found that several members of the group had chosen to rest and recover their energy following the morning’s adventures. Isolde, still feeling slightly faint following the amount of blood she had lost at the claws of the werewolf and dire bear, decided to join them.

The next few hours were spent in quiet repose, resting and relaxing as they pondered how to proceed. In the meantime, Robyn decided to visit Loran for some tips to recreating her bun recipe, which did not go over very well. Perhaps there was something about a campfire that brought out Robyn’s cooking ability.

As soon as Robyn decided her bun cooking skills would be better left unexamined, she returned to the inn to find her companions waiting in the common room and enjoying a late lunch. Though her buns had been less than edible, she declined Nula offer of half her pie, and brought the gang together to discuss the rest of the day.

Oskar strongly suggested they attempt to reclaim the treasure of Trickle Rock Cavern, and Nula leapt at the chance to recover riches. It didn’t take much for the rest of the party to be convinced, and within a dozen minutes the band was back on the road, heading for the Larch Path to find Trickle Rock Cavern.

In his fright, Tarnlar had not been particularly forthcoming when it came to Trickle Rock Cavern’s exact location. So the party began their search of the surrounding areas. Using gossip and information gleaned from patrons of the Swinging Sword Inn and the Helm at High Sun, they narrowed their search down to a stretch of road a couple miles from Red Larch. They soon located a hilly area in the distance that Oskar claimed would possibly hold cavernous formations, and started off the road.

They had been marching for a few minutes when, all of a sudden, they came through the trees and into the camp of six gnolls. There was a half moment where each party simply stared at each other, and then the tension was broken as Nula dashed forward, tossing a dagger at one of the hyena-like creatures. Two bowmen retaliated by ducking behind the plentiful rocky outcroppings and taking shots at the half-orc.

Isolde and Oskar dashed forward, tossing javelins that fell just short, while Uzza sent golden words of healing to her ailing friend. As the spear-wielding gnolls moved forward, the ranged members of the party let loose a volley of magical bolts and arrows, and one of the gnolls fell to the ground clutching a smoking chunk of its chest.

Nula ran around the corner of the outcropping, slamming the battleaxe down on the furry form before darting back away. The gnoll fired a shot from its crossbow and followed her, and its jaws closed on her neck as she fell to the ground. The other bowman hooted and howled as it shot at Isolde and Oskar from behind its rock. The dwarf answered with a savage blow to one of the spearmen, almost cleaving it in two.

As Uzza found her way forward to lay a healing hand on the fallen half-orc, Idu found an opportune point between three of the gnolls and let loose a magical explosion, sending them reeling for Robyn to pick off. One more gnoll hit the ground, an arrow deep in its throat.

The remaining gnolls glanced at their fallen comrades and began to retreat, gibbering madly as they tried to skirt around the savage interlopers. Oskar swept the legs out from one of them, following up with a thrust through its chest as the others escaped.

Robyn was preparing to gather her band to follow when Idu spoke up. “Archimicarus says he’s spotted a cave nearby, could be what we’re looking for,” he said, eyes glazing over as he communicated with the familiar. Robyn glanced after the gnolls, then back at the rest of her group, several members of which were still recovering from earlier wounds. Robyn gave the signal for the team to start their journey back to Red Larch.

“We don’t want to face whatever vampire is waiting in Trickle Rock Cavern like this. We’ll regroup and follow the falcon tomorrow morning.”

~~

The sun had begun to dip beneath the surrounding trees as they made their way back into Red Larch, and they made their way back to the center of town. There, Robyn set up her cooking pot beside the road, between the Swinging Sword Inn and All Faiths’ Shrine.

As they discussed the area they suspected the Cavern to be, childish giggling filled the air, and then little Pel came around the corner, quickly spying the group who had promised to look into her ghost. She ran ahead of her grandmother and started tugging on Robyn’s cloak. “Whatcha doing?” she asked sweetly.

“Making dinner,” Robyn explained. “You need to be resourceful.” She grabbed a handful of leaves she had picked on their way back and tossed them into the simmering liquid.

After a few moments of watching the half-elf stir, the child piped up again, “Have you talked to the ghost yet?” 

Charlot coughed and began, “Well,” before being cut off.

“Yes!” Robyn exclaimed, nudging the girl gently. “And he’s friendly! Not scary after all.” She shot a glare at Charlot, who was looking on with disbelief. “But you can’t go back up there,” she quickly added, realizing what idea she had just planted. “It wouldn’t be safe.”

It was too late. Pel was grinning from ear to ear, and she shouted out, “I’m gonna talk to it!”

The spoon clattered in the pot as Robyn raised her hands to emplore, “No, that’s a really bad idea, sweetie, please stay away.”

The child would not be reasoned with. “But I wanna do it!” By this time, Mini had caught up to her granddaughter, and was looking with a stern questioning glance on the conversation.

“Mini,” Robyn said, turning her attention to the guardian, “you cannot allow Pel to go back to those barrows.”

Mini’s eyes narrowed at the demanding tone. “I think I can handle my granddaughter well enough, thank you very much.”

Robyn thought back to how Pel had managed to, without supervision, trek all the way up to the barrows in the first place. “Of course you can, but might I interest you in this newfangled concept nobles in all the biggest cities are getting into? It’s a leash that goes on your child!”

With a harumph, Mini gathered Pel’s hand and led her away, leaving Robyn calling out her warnings and entreaties by the side of the road.

“That went well,” Isolde commented, drawing a stern stare from Robyn. At this point, a figure emerged from the Shrine’s front doors, drawn by the commotion.

His eyes glanced from the retreating backs of Mini and Pel to the slightly burned pot of stew (he assumed) to Robyn’s frantic expression. “Is there… something you all need?” he asked, smiling in as accommodating a way as he was able.

Robyn darted forward, clutching the robes of the man. “Yes, we need to learn about the barrows to the north,” she burst out. “A girl’s life hangs in the balance. It is indomitable that you help us.”

The man extricated himself from her grip and chuckled uneasily. “Well, our records are open to the public. We are closed now, but in the morning, I am sure someone will be able to help you.” He paused a beat. “Not me though, I’m just an acolyte.” Appeased for the moment, Robyn settled back before her cooking pot, wondering how she would salvage it, while Isolde seemed like she would erupt.

“Did you just say,” she asked calmly, totally at odds with her pained expression, “that the records were free to use?” The acolyte was already halfway inside, however, and quickly closed the door when he turned and saw the look on Isolde’s face.

“Come back tomorrow!” came the muffled voice from behind the door.

With the excitement dying down, Robyn tasted a spoonful of the stew and asked how much everyone wanted. “About that,” Charlot said slowly, backing up toward the Inn. “I was thinking of grabbing a bite inside. It isn’t your food,” he lied quickly. “I just think there might be more we can glean from Caelessa.”

Nula snorted, “I’ll bet there’s a lot more you can glean.” But he had already begun walking inside. Within a minute, Idu and Isolde had followed him inside, leaving Nula, Uzza, and Oskar to join Robyn for her meal. As they began to tuck in, Uzza offered her pet mouse some of the concoction. Little Despacito went running away into the brush in search of more appealing food.

As they finished up the meal and cleaned out the dishes, Uzza decided to spend the night indoors. “Think I’ll stay outside,” Oskar grunted, reaching for his pack.

“Me too!” Nula responded, too quickly. “We don’t need no indoors, right captain?” She turned to see Robyn walking inside with Uzza. Only slightly perturbed, she set up her bedroll and began to sleep.

~~

As the moon shone bright on Red Larch, something jolted Nula from her sleep. Yards away, something rustled in the brush. “Despacito, is that you?” she called out in a half-whisper. A gibbering laughter answered, eerily reminiscent of the hooting calls of the gnolls they had attacked that day. Instantly alert, Nula crawled over to the snoring lump that was Oskar and shook him awake.

“I heard something in the brush!” she whispered, pointing.

Blinking sleep from his eyes, Oskar spared the silent bushes a glance and rolled over. “We’re in the middle of the town, lass. There’s nothing there. Go back to sleep.”

Nula shook her head. Of course, this was closer to civilization than any gnoll had a right to be. It must have been her imagination. Still, she swapped the battleaxe by her pillow for her trusty swords. After all, it was a new day, wasn’t it? She could go back to slicing and hacking the way she knew best.

With dreams of spurting blood and cowering enemies, Nula drifted back off to sleep.

~~

The sun brought with it the rest of the group, rested and refreshed, into the morning air. As they spied Nula and Oskar breaking down their mini camp, Charlot called out with a smile, “How was your night?”

Nula made a face at the youth, but Oskar replied, “Inexpensive.” A minute later, the group was walking into the Shrine. There, Isolde ran up to the nearest priest and spun him around. It was the same man she had sparred with verbally the previous day.

“I hear your records are free!” she exclaimed, as the group glanced around awkwardly. Acolytes and priests paused in their daily chores to watch.

The accosted priest smiled painfully as his eyes narrowed. “I’m not sure what you’re talking about, madam.”

Isolde did not back down. “Extortion is what I’m talking about.” She took a step closer, hand straying to her glaive. “I’m certain your god doesn’t look to kindly on extortioners, and I’ll bet he’s even less fond of extortioners without kneecaps.”

The priest’s eyes dropped to the impressive weapon, then to the paladin’s murderous look, and decided to change his tune. “I’m not sure what you’re referring to, but please do come inside! If it’s records you need, I’d be more than happy to assist.”

The suddenly helpful priest led them to a winding staircase which spiraled down to a low-ceilinged basement. As they spread out across the shelf-filled room, Robyn grabbed the priest’s arm. “If we don’t learn more about the barrows to the north, the consequences could be fetal. We need more info.”

The priest paused midstep. “I’m sorry, did you say… Erm, yes, of course, allow me to help you search. We should have those records on that shelf over there.” He nodded to a corner of the room. “I wish I could be more specific, but it has been a while since we’ve reorganized our records.” He shot a glance at Isolde. “Lack of funds.”

For the next hour or so, the eight searched, until Idu cried out victoriously and held a dusty scroll aloft. It was what appeared to be an almanac of obituary information for significant figures from centuries ago.

Robyn scanned the document, muttered aloud for the group to hear. “Ogdin Durga, served in the Troll Wars… fought in defense of Waterdeep… There isn’t too much about him personally, but it paints him as a brave but capricious soldier. Says here he was a gambler… And he had a faithful servant.”

“Probably Sir Loras,” Charlot commented, refurling a scroll on haberdashery he had been perusing. 

Armed with the knowledge, the gang prepared to leave the basement. As they trudged up the steps, the priest called up to them, “Feel free to come back… during the afternoons.”

~~

Little more than an hour later, the group was back before the barrows, waiting along the road and wondering what to do. As they bickered, Idu interrupted, “Archimicarus sees Pel. She’s coming up the road. We only have a couple minutes.”

In the crunch of procrastinated thought power, the group tossed together a bunch of spare clothes and bedrolls, making a loose approximation of a ghost. Robyn then used her bow to light up a handful of arrows with spectral light, and fashioned the shafts into a frame over which the ghost-puppet was thrown. With a muttered word, Idu waved his hand and a thick fog began to billow through the trees. With a rope from Nula’s pack, they hoisted the makeshift ghost up in the branches hanging over the path and retreated to the bushes.

A minute later, Pel came skipping up the road, slowing down as she reached the strangely sudden wall of fog, then gasping as she spied the floating image before her. On cue, Uzza began intoning in Infernal, guttural sounds curling from her lip and sending muffled echoes through the foggy air. The evil voice was met with a high-pitched scream, as, in indignation, Pel cried out, “I thought you were friendly!”

As Pel's traumatized screams diminished in the distance, Robyn peaked out from behind her bush and gave a thumbs up. "Good job, guys!"

~~

The group discussed delving into the barrow while they were in the vicinity, but Oskar was insistent that they continue hunting down the treasure of Trickle Rock Cavern. And so, they hiked back down to Red Larch and beyond to the Latch Path, and the promising location Archimicarus had spotted the day before.

They arrived at a gulley, carved between a pair of hills by a strong stream which seemed to end at a cliff face. As they drew closer, however, it was clear the stream had not been halted by the cliff, and instead had pried apart a tight opening, barely wide enough for the most encumbered of their party to squeeze into.

Uzza led the way, peering into the near-blackness as she reveled in the confined quarters. Growing up on the streets, she had rarely felt safe, but when she crawled into spaces others couldn't even find, she could pretend she had escaped. Years later, she had found other ways to protect herself, but the comfort of pushing away the wide world in a snug corridor or warm crevice remained.

Within the narrow passage, the trickling of the stream grew louder, but there was an odd fluttering sound as well that was difficult to place.

After a couple feet, the passage opened up to a roughly spherical room, where the stream fed into a wide, shallow pool. Several large rocks lay about the quasi-room, and in the middle of the pool, beneath a wide log, a flash of white - a skeleton.

Adequately cautious, the group lingered near the entrance. Charlot murmured a word, and his hand began to glow, shedding a warm light over the darkest corners of the chamber. The light brought into view another crevice, hidden along the back of the wall, into which a smaller stream of water fed by the pool flowed. Intrigued in another space to crawl through, Uzza made her way around the lip of the pool to the maw of the passage.

As she passed one of the larger rocks, it reached out and struck her.

There was a moment of stunned silence, as Uzza cried out, a rocky appendage clutching her arm, while the other large rock in the room seemed to take advantage of the surprise to slide across the rocky floor and slap a part of itself on Nula. Drawn to action, Robyn and Idu attacked the nearer threat, the rock that appeared to be sliding its suddenly malleable body over Nula’s arm. Arrow and magical bolt dug deep into the gelatinous core of the being, freeing Nula’s arm to make a vicious attack against the viscous foe.

As her blades slid through the ooze, it fell from her arm and began to disintegrate. The sizzling was not just from the dissipating beast, however. Small flecks of oxidized iron began to flake from Nula’s blades, and within seconds they were pockmarked with holes that looked like a horde of metal-eating moths had been at them.

While Nula cried out in alarm, Isolde moved to assist Uzza. However, the quickest route took her through the middle of the pool. As she passed the log, it reared up out of the shallow water and a gnarled tongue spat out to whack the paladin on the side of the head. As it moved, the skeleton was more fully revealed, and a soft golden glow glittered along the floor of the pool.

A few seconds later, the mimics let out rumbling deathwails, and the water began to still. Isolde poked at the squishy rock and pliant log to ensure they were dead, and Oskar began scooping handfuls of golden coins from the pool. Idu picked one up and studied it for a long minute, finally announcing that they were not gold pieces, they were pyrite, fools’ gold. Oskar asked if he was sure, and then grumbled as he tossed the gold back into the pool.

Charlot drew everyone’s attention back to the other exit from the chamber, and Uzza stepped forward, more cautiously this time. As she stepped through the narrow opening in the wall, she called back, “It looks like it begins to slope downward. There’s a turn here, if I could just… Ahhh!” Her cry echoed into the chamber, and the group rushed forward. Just around a bend in the passage, the ground sloped down sharply, the seemingly miniscule trickle of water quickening into a slippery slide that Uzza had fallen down.

The group waited with bated breath for a moment, before they heard a distant splash, and Uzza calling back up claiming she was only slightly injured. Exchanging several glances, they stepped into the opening one by one, and descended.

Below, there was a larger room, roughly hewn from the surrounding rock. Rivulets of water rolled down the imperceptibly slanted floor to a trough spanning the middle of the room, where a deeper pool of water agitated slightly. A questionable bridge, battered by ages, crossed the span, and on the other side of the room, the walls seemed more handily crafted, but in worse shape. The fluttering noise from before was even louder, and as they searched for the source, they noticed dozens of holes pockmarking the ceiling. As they glanced up, a chunk of the ceiling fell inches from Oskar with a plopping sound. The room’s integrity seemed to be deteriorating, and quickly.

Robyn drew her glowing bow and allowed the blessing to flow into a handful of arrows, pulling one back to her jaw and letting loose. It skittered across the floor on the opposite side of the room, shedding light on various reliefs depicting dwarves (which Oskar noted enthusiastically) and a statue of a stout armored dwarf. Before the statue was a pedestal which held a book, a small bag, and an untarnished blade. In the arrow’s light, it was clear the sword had not accumulated any dust, though it looked as though it had not been touched for decades. Along one wall, a rickety wooden door was shut.

The group approached the stone bridge, muttering about how they planned to cross. Somehow, the fluttering in the air felt oppressive, almost threatening. With a start, Robyn noticed that Idu had stepped closer and closer to the trough of water. When she called his name, he didn’t turn but simply replied, “Knowledge is power.” She followed his stare to the book across the room.

“We need to get over there,” she said, and just as the words left her mouth, an errant piece of ceiling fell and clipped Isolde on the side of her forehead. She took a sharp breath, muttering about sharp corners, and reached up to her hairline. Her fingers came away streaking a line of blood down her face.

A moment later, the fluttering noise intensified, and with a screech, half a dozen large bats swooped down from the ceiling. As they began to circle, the water in the trough erupted, as two large schools of fish began to breach the surface, sensing bloodshed. 

The next few minutes were filled with endless waves of the bloated bats. The group attempted to leap across the trough, not trusting the bridge, and all but Uzza made it across. As she fell into the trough, a pair of bats latched onto her, only to be knocked loose by the impact of the water. The beasts immediately detached and attempted to paddle out of the water, but the schools of fish darted for them and the bats were instantly devoured. Horrified, the tiefling swam hard for the other side, joining her companions on dry land.

Idu deftly leapt the chasm and dashed for the book, carelessly swatting away the bats circling his head as he clutched the tattered tome to his chest. He was followed by Charlot, who scooped up the bag and directed his spellslinging to the bats around the young boy. Nula was next, picking up the sword, which was lighter than she expected, and turning it immediately upon the swarm surrounding them.

With the book in his arms, Idu appeared to snap out of the strange trance, and seemed surprised to notice the dozen bats now assaulting the party. He patted his own spellbook for comfort and spoke a power word, sending a burst of sound centered around a cluster of bats. Robyn waved the group through the door on the side of the chamber, which Nula had just finished smashing through.

The last person to exit the chamber was Idu, who dove with surprising alacrity through the open portal, turning in midair to cast another shattering spell just above the door. As he fell into Robyn’s arms, the ceiling above the door collapsed, shutting in most of the bats. Oskar deftly smashed the flat of his axe against the final bat, which was sucking on Idu’s shoulder.

The threat averted for the time being, the group noticed a dwarven skeleton in the corner of the smaller antechamber, adorned with simple armor. There was a simple engraving around the now-ruined door, warning: “Faithless beware: mausoleum of the greats.” As Oskar translated, Nula snorted, “Not so great anymore.”

They noticed a rope hanging from the ceiling, and as Robyn shot an arrow upwards, a hole in the high roof forty feet up became clear. As the group began to climb up, Charlot opened the tan colored bag they had recovered. Inside, three white balls of fuzz sat. He could swear he heard a purr. “What do you have there?” Robyn asked, reaching in for one. As she pulled it out, it grew a nose, then a paw sprouted from the ball, and a moment later a giant hyena sat before them, head quirked as it gazed at Robyn.

Idu took a second to Identify the bag. “Ah, I’ve read about these. The orbs will appear each morning, and they will summon an animal companion for whoever removes one. Quite handy.” Charlot tucked it away as his turn to climb came.

Above, Idu was paging through the folio he had found. “Magic Missile… Grease… Arcane Lock… and Knock.” The boy shrugged. “Not too bad. A nice addition to my collection.” In the area above the antechamber, there were the remains of a firepit, long unused. The exit for the cave was covered with a layer of bushes, and after the group returned outside, the entrance appeared to disappear in the wall of the cliff.

They were in the midst of a series of hills, a few minutes from the stream they had started at. They quickly found their way to the Larch Path, and as the sun began to set, they returned to Red Larch.

Deciding to take advantage of the meals at the Swinging Sword Inn this night, the whole party trudged into the building, hailing Caelessa with warm smiles and asking what was in the pot tonight. With a wink at Charlot, the barkeep said she’d heard about the bandits they no longer needed to worry about, and offered a simple supper on the house.

As they dug into the meal, she lingered at their table. She casually mentioned that it was being said there was an evil presence out at Lance Rock, and that she wasn’t sure the constable would be up to the challenge. Charlot nodded in agreement. Caelessa turned to Robyn and offered fifty gold pieces if the band would investigate the claims.

Nula and Oskar were more than eager to accept, but Isolde quieted them with a wave and asked how she had come by the information. Caelessa smiled at the paladin openly and stated that Theylorn’s children claimed to have met a dwarf, who had warned them to stay away due to plague. No one else had seen the dwarf, but in such a small community, plague was a threat that needed to be taken seriously.

“We happily accept,” Robyn said, wiping her mouth and settling back from her bowl, “on the condition that you tell me what this delicious recipe is.”

The barkeep easily recited the ingredients and instructions for the roast venison with wild parsnips. Behind Robyn’s back, Uzza mouthed “Thank you” to Caelessa.

-Don’t be shy, if you have a special request let me know, I’m an easy enough person to get along with and I’m happy to discuss things with you.

For a complete outline of my commissions, please visit my commission page here.

Thanks, everybody! <3
