Castrovel Inspirational Memory - 2 years ago
Artist: Farid Sandoval (artstation)

~Eazuvau~ - Soul-Tree: a Castrovellian Milk-Tree that is so old, and has absorbed so many memories that it has evolved its own consciousness. The Lashunta believe Milk-Trees are the eldest children of Mahaere - Green-Mother - and it is from them that the first Lashunta were born. Soul-Trees, along with serving as repositories of the Lashunta's ancestral memories, they functions as oracles, as prophets to the very gods.

How would these beings perceive us?

Art by Farid Sandoval - a tree with iridescent bark grows above a pool. Its boughs and leaves turn to streamers as if in the wind. A man stands beside the trunk, holding a light.

Well, we cleared out the Batcave, but it was a tough one! I used almost every special ability, cleaned out both my wands, and had 2x1st and 1x2nd level spells left. We're 11th level.

Our "front line" (monk and wizard (don't ask)) went down every round after the 3rd. And I kept bringing them back up. Which was the only reason I wasn't dead too. They just soaked the damage. Every. Round. The GM is clever and doesn't pull his punches.

I wasn't previously aware of Gammarauder until I stumbled across it while trawling the Internet Archive: originally a satirical postapocalyptic boardgame by TSR, it received a 10 issue comic series by DC.

Glimmermark session 45: first time since 2024 they dared to go further down into Castle Dyson. That is, after finding the goblin castle encroached by rather nasty undead at night.

(Which they caused but they don't know that)

A fight with gargoyles turned out to be much more difficult than they had hoped (4 attacks per round!), but it was a surprise attack by a wererat on the rear during the fight the nearly saw two of them go down.
