Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Flicker kept quiet as they followed Aura about the camp, letting the air genasi do most of the talking. She was much better at the niceties than they were. However, as they continued to walk around with little success of finding their target, Flicker started to become more and more visibly agitated, and was about to suggest they give up the search and returned to the rest of the group... when they heard the snoring. They turned to face the source of the noise, putting their fists up in a defensive manner and carefully eying this stranger - an aasimar - as he approached them and suddenly offered up what sounded like a riddle.

They gave a side glance at Aura, almost as if to ask what they should do when the other genasi just answered. Flicker grimaced at this, their glance turning into a full-on glare at their comrade. "Really? We're really answering riddles from complete strangers?" they hissed at Aura. "Is that what our day has become?"

@Guardian Angel Haruki Yo, you said you're character was a paladin, not a bard xD

Strixhaven: Prelude to Lament

@Achronum

What is acceptable for character Creation? Is this modern fantasy or medieval fantasy? Can wands and familiars be reflavered to anything and what races are okay?

@Cao the Exiled

While I don't know the answer to most of this, I have a feeling that familiars will likely be reflavoured as mascots: in the Strixhaven setting, each of the schools have their mascots that be summoned.

- For Lorehold, it's Spirits which inhabit statues or artifacts.
- For Quandrix, it's Fractals which are animals formed from... well, fractals xD
- For Primsari, it's Elementals.
- For Silverquill, it's Inklings, tiny little being made of ink.
- For Witherbloom, it's Pests, which are ugly little guys that combine bug, reptile and amphibian traits. Naturally, these are my favourite.

I'm going to assume that's what the familiars will be like, but from the opening post sounds like, some things will be changed from the Strixhaven setting so I might be wrong.

@Achronum Yo, it's been a bit quiet over here. This still happening?

"Do you wonder why Arkisz had to leave? Do you think our friend is okay?"

@Cao the Exiled

Welcome to the first official meeting of the "Protect Plasm at All Costs Club".

Aesithas (D&D 5e Homebrew) - On Hiatus

Vigil's using the tried-and-true method of following someone who looks like they know where they're going to navigate the city xD

Aesithas (D&D 5e Homebrew) - On Hiatus

Vigil

Making one's way through the busy streets of Fenhall would be a challenge for anyone, but for someone as large and inexperienced with city life as Vigil, it was near impossible. It didn't help that his tail, currently morphed into the form of a makeshift club, had a habit of swishing from to side to side like that of an agitated cat whenever he was anxious, which in a crowd like this, he certainly was. He grunted and growled what could have either been apologises or curses under his breath as he attempted to weave through the crowd towards the castle.

As he did so, he seemed to note another heading in the same direction as him - a Wooden One woman, who seemed to be navigating her way through the city much easier and more confidently than he was. He quickened his pace to catch up to the woman, keeping a couple of paces behind her while essentially using her as a way to keep track of where he was among the sea of strangers.

Part of me is tempted to see if the water seeking ball we got from Nanna May would help us locate our new water genasi friend, but I don't know if it works like that xD

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Flicker was just as quiet on the way back to Ennton as they had been leaving it earlier, but this time their silence was tinged not with anxiety but gloom. Even with the revelations that the cultists had been far from innocent, the group's inability to protect them and the fact they had been essentially set up as executioners did not sit well with the fire genasi, and this feeling didn't dissipate much during their stay in the small village.

They cheered up slightly during a shopping trip in which they procured some new cooking utensils, replacing a set they had lost - supposedly, they had their suspicions - at some point while on the road. During said shopping trip, the group managed to sell most of the items they had found at the tower, barring some of the stranger objects which the local arcanist had referred to as 'hag-craft' and seemed particularly antsy about, only adding to Flicker's overall discomfort about the whole situation. Once they returned from shopping, Flicker had written a letter to one of their old mentors at the order, detailing their encounter with Nanna May and describing the strange objects they had found. They asked for any information they could about hags and how to deal with them, as well as advice on what they should do with the jar, ball and painting. They also considered sending a letter home, to their mother, who they hadn't written to in a couple of months... only to decide against it. They weren't really sure what they could tell that wouldn't cause her to worry, and they sure as the hells weren't going to tell her about what happened at the tower.

Flicker's mood only worsened when Arkisz was called away from the group. The Vedelkan hadn't been with the group for too long, but Flicker already felt a good deal of kinship with him, and was sad to see him go. When the group finally left Ennton, the fire genasi was at the gloomiest they had been in a while. They weren't offering their usual complaints or snarky remarks, they were just quietly sulking, only really talking to their comrades when spoken to and generally just not being that sociable.

That is, until they happened across the highwaymen's camp.

Flicker was wary about approaching the camp, a sentiment they made known very quickly. However, the rest of the group seemed at least curious and made their way towards the festivities, Flicker trudging behind. The highwaymen turned out to be fairly friendly, and some even seemed to recognise Jormund, which did cause Flicker to give a small smirk as they gave the earth genasi a teasing nudge. The leader of the camp also mentioned that they were not the only genasi they had encountered that evening, and that a water genasi had arrived at camp some time before they had.

Flicker raised an eyebrow at that. "Huh, what are the odds?" they muttered, more to themselves than anyone else. It did seem like an odd coincidence, the kind that got the more existential side of Flicker's mind whirling. However, before they could really think too much about that, Aura suddenly declared that she was going to go find this mysterious water genasi and left the group before anyone could stop her. "Oh for gods' sake!" Flicker hissed. With a sigh, they said, "I'm gonna go with her. Make sure she doesn't get lost or break anything or... whatever." They quickly hurried after Aura, mumbling a mixture of elven and primordial curses under their breath as they did so.

However, despite their show of annoyance, they themselves were also a little curious to meet this mysterious fourth genasi. Though they certainly weren't going to admit it to anyone.

@rush99999 btw, I'm guessing everyone's injuries are all healed up now?
