Crumbs is getting real close to blasting a few holes in this dirty stinkin' robot if it keeps up this nonsense.

#DungeonsAndDragons #DND

A two-panel comic of a monkey-like humanoid yelling and brandishing a gun at a panicked robot.

In the first panel, a blue chrome robot holds its arms up in a defensive pose as it hunches over. A caption at the bottom of the panel reads, in all caps: "Why won't you love me, Crumbs? I'll be anything you want me to be!"

In the second panel, a monkey-like humanoid with reddish-orange skin and blonde hair wears an angry expression and holds one hand in the air; her hand notably has paw pads on the fingertips and palm. Wing-like flaps extend from both of her wrists, and she holds a silver handmade gun in her other hand. A caption at the bottom of the panel reads: "I want you to be dead!"

Stormguide. As this peregrine falcon streaks across the skies, it generates powerful thunderstorms in its wake.

A digital illustration of a peregrine falcon diving through grayscale clouds on its back. The falcon is mostly white, and it has a yellow beak and feet, blueish wingtips with brown bands, and a brown cap on its head. It also has a blue eye that glows. To the right of the image is a color palette, and the name Stormguide underlined and in all caps.

#DNDChat Let's jump right into another session recap!

The party made their way through the Deep Astral unhindered and finally began their approach toward Realmspace--and home. During the journey, Crumbs and Helix worked together to forge a fake Astrarium to hand over to the Crown.

Ugh too many arms
#WIP #crinoid #SciArt #3Dmodelling

$work in progress of a crinoid 3D model, this particular one has arms that branch out and split into more arms in a fractal manner, very tedious to model.$

I found this teeny-tiny little bee on the Philadelphus in the garden - very impressive mandibles! Could anyone tell me what genus/species she might be? Lasioglossum?

It’s hard to convince yourself that everything is going to be ok in the face of someone like Sloan.

Theo had tried to put up the arrogant front of a deeply unimpressed teenager, however his failure was evident in her shades, where he could see the reflection of his own uncertainty in his eyes. They watched the face of the predators before him with a primal calculation gear towards survival. Her smile was the foremost object of disturbance. It was distinctly wrong. A little too wide and crowded with jaggard hyena-like teeth. It could, arguably, hold a candle to the definition of a maw. The fact that her skin was scored with a hash of pale scars didn’t help the impression either, it told the story of someone not easily dissuaded from any given intention. All this set in the backdrop of a mane of black hair with webs of silver that Theo himself still had decades to possess. She raised one eyebrow behind her shades. Theo noted it too, and smoked his joint with a sinking feeling. Even in the bright, safe light of the beach they stood on, Theo estimated that he was the nameless victim in the prologue of a horror.

If only he was so lucky. This is not in fact the prologue, this is chapter one and he is the P.O.V.

On a wet road in a dim foggy forest, a werewolf so dark it could be described as a silhouette with white eyes, looms over a young man laying on the tarmac in a frozen state of fight or flight.

The young man is in a dark pink hoodie which contrasts with the otherwise cool, dark pallet of the scene.

In the darkest hours of the night and under the pouring rain a young man is being kidnapped. He’s over the shoulder of an indifferent woman and being carried up the gangplank onto a cruise ship that sits dark in the greenish blue night with orange lights glowing out of cabin windows. He is struggling and desperately reaching for the railing in a futile attempt to free himself. The woman doesn’t heed him. With a rucksack over one shoulder and him over the other, she strides into the orange light of the waiting ship.

A painting with a nostalgic feeling of two young men, in the rain at dusk, walking down a street with their backs to the viewer.

Above them the clouds are purple and fringed with the orange of a setting sun. Power lines cross above the street between the dark suburban house and the road is so slick with rain that it ripples and reflects the street lights and the young men.

The shorter young man, Theo, is offering the other, Miles, some chips from a packet. They are both soaking wet and don’t seem to care.

... And that's it for this session! I realized that we'd never talked as a party about what information to give Crux, so I had to panic-lie during some roleplay in the moment. Crumbs rolled pretty low on her deception, so we'll have to see what happens next session!

H. Pettijohn @punkpaleo.bsky.social · Jun 29

Annoyed at the lack of information, Crux gives them minimal payment and grumbles at them to go on their way. Not wanting to spend a moment longer around someone that gets her feathers all ruffles, Crumbs quickly exits The Edge and stalks out onto the streets of the Rock.

H. Pettijohn @punkpaleo.bsky.social · Jun 29

They give as little information to Crux as they can while still trying to appear helpful. Crumbs mentions that they found potential magical sources and harvested plenty of materials, but that there was no artifact to be found. She further avoids even directly mentioning the Astrarium's name.
