VIKTOR CHANGED ME
Some doodles of our fated ally we finally got a glimpse of, Stella Watcher. DM gave a description of her being tormented by skeletal cats, which I thought was just SO evocative.
(2/3) More art fight attacks!!
L to R, top down: Roma and Ez (@huntedsmark), Pewter and Roe (@pegasuskiss + @elfdyke), Alya and Julie (UnearthlySoap)
MEME TIME MEME TIME
If you have left me a nice tag please know I've plucked it out and dried it in the warm sun so I can then use it to garnish bubbly sodas to drink and feel refreshed even once the season has passed
session rambling !!
LAST SESSION WAS FUN !!! there was a wolf fight in the beginning (attacked by many wolves) but we survived it and it was neat to see. how far we've come (not dying to many wolves)
we decided to go to the dusk camp bc one of the party members rescued some kids from Wolf Cave and we needed a place for them to stay while we dropped off one of the kids in Vallaki. Apparently in Vallaki, since its after?? Strahd tried to destroy the church?? the nine pointed sun group is having executions every day now for dissenters/anyone they dont like so its looking really rough in there
since we were in the dusk camp tho the party talked with kasamir but only one of the party members could really talk with him and they spoke entirely in elvish so no one else understood how legit wacky kasamir was talking (mickey mouse voice, this is a tool we'll use for later!!!)
Oh!!! I'm rotating roma's conversation with illyeria in my head tho... THEY STILL DONT SHARE A LANGUAGE SO THEIR COMMUNICATION IS STILL.. PRETTY CLUNKY BUT (HOLDS IT IN MY HANDS)
Do you have a beginners guide to ez's lore for the uninitiated (me) 🥺
YOU GOT IT I LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO TALK ABT HER
Note: This only applies to Ez in our campaign, other Ez’s will vary.
BASIC INFO
Ez (goes by Ez)
She/Her
Human
5’0” (5'8") / 25-35 yrs (her canon is 5'8" and the height I draw her is noncanon LOL)
Romani (Vistani) descent
Action Girl (like the TV Trope)
Primary weapons are magic handaxe, saber, and the ability to call lightning from her fingertips.
An elusive NPC that’s both a world of help and a storm of trouble at the same time, Ez is protege to one of the greatest monster hunters in existence, and her nearly bottomless talent and expertise are countered only by her reckless, impulsive disposition and swiftly changing whims. Casual, confident, and deeply capable, she’s happy to share her knowledge with the party when asked, but her cat-like independent streak means she never stays for long.
When the party first met her, she had big ‘I’ll sell you for one corn chip’ energy, and while it doesn’t seem like she’ll betray them anymore, she still feels like a gremlin and is somewhat difficult to read. The party enjoys her because she’s easy to talk to and exchange theories with. Roma likes chatting with her when she’s around, and “likes” her, which at this moment involves giving her a lot of gifts and making fun of her when she loses things.
OTHER FACTS:
Has a below the knee prosthetic.
Says her parents were the worst.
Seems to have a complicated relationship with her heritage.
Running gag that she keeps throwing her ax into the figurative (sometimes literal) abyss despite not needing to at all and the party has to fetch it
Running gag that she just loses important things, like full horses, her magic cart, and her spell components
Can do triple the amount of damage of the party in a single turn
Lost her shadow once, and had to go on a long and difficult venture with The Twins to retrieve it back
Talks to Roma in Goblin, a language that only the two of them and none of the party know
Was first mentioned in Roma’s tarot reading (players are given a tarot reading in the beginning of the campaign called Tarokka that tells them important NPCs or artifacts abt the world that’ll help them in the campaign/relate to completing objectives in backstory)
The Tempter - speaks of one who will direct you to a mutual ally; to someone who knows something of your past and who will know something of your future. you must seek out the woman of recklessness who is missing one of her legs.
Can read tarokka, but claims to not be very fluent with it.
Agreed to go on a date with Roma.
Gifts Roma has given her:
Endure Elements - a spell casted on her, after first meeting, upon her departure, that protects from cold and heat and keeps casted comfortable for 8 hrs in extreme weather conditions
20 feet of chain - forged by local blacksmith, originally 30 feet. “It’s so you can attach it to your ax and not lose it anymore.”
A gold bracelet worth 100 gold pieces taken from the party’s first vampire kill
The ribs from a stag, hunted by Roma and Van Richten (Roma and Ez’s shared mentor) that morning
Genna/Lai (She/Her) 21+ personal blog and campaign doodles, mostly of my curse of strahd pc, roma
