"My soul is charged with blood of thine all ready, and they are now but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more..."

What torments do the Valravn's victims' souls know of the creature's wicked ways.

#ScarsofSarkoris #Pathfinder #OC
A hulking, armored figure stands upon a stage wreathed in spotlights, their cloak of feathers hiding much of his sharp, corvid armor features and clawed gauntleted hands, a massive greatsword held casually in one. Two figures kneel behind it, bound with shadowy chains, forced into a position that prevents them from turning or rising against their fetters. On the left, a young man with a wound on his chest seen through his open shirt hangs his head so that his hair falls in front of his face, obscuring the markings on his skin. He casts he eyes to the side, seemingly aware of the other figures he cannot see. The woman bound in the same manner casts her eyes downward, her dress plunged low to expose the matching wound over her heart. She cannot bring herself to raise her head, staring at the floor, the only thing in her sight a glimpse of the wicked blade that the creature wields to torment the world of mortals. Both souls trapped by the creature, it's victim's slain and hearts eaten, so that it might use their memories and likeness to do the dark works ahead.

What becomes of a soul interrupted from it's journey to the afterlife, devoured by a wicked creature bent to torment the world of mortals? How aware are they of each other? Are they aware when their memories are used to hurt others?

#ScarsofSarkoris #WIP
Sketch of two figures shackled and kneeling. One with a masculine face and facial markings looks sidelong over his shoulder, hair falling past his face, his back to the second kneeling figure. His shackles hold him bent, preventing him from turning to see the figure behind him. The womanly figure to the right is likewise bound and downcast, though her eyes only focus on the floor and the greatsword blade that is held in her vision. A silhouette of a cloaked, armored figure looms large in the background, the monstrosity that has them trapped.

Full Page! What if Rory's brother once studied under Hawthorne, and he had to cross paths with him again now that he's taken his brother's place in the world after his death. Tension, Impropriety, and Pettiness abound.

(Hawthorne belongs to @charlottetangle.bsky.social )
Panel 1: A young man enters, well dressed in edwardian styles, a large manuscript tucked under one arm. They speak first, "Professor Bryony! I was hoping for a moment of your time to submit my first chronicle to the-" The dour man cuts Rory off, "I have no time for frivolous submissions." Panel Two: They stand nearly face to face as the professor continues, "Waste my time further and I'll have you remanded to security." Rory implores, holding the manuscript up, "You haven't got time for the scion of a university patron? The Dunstans are-" Panel 3: Hawthorn glowers as he interrupts again, "And why, pray tell, should I care for work you clearly had your sister write for you, Master Dunstan? It's been years since you stopped needing my tutelage or extra lessons. Or have you tired of whoring yourself out with those wastrel so-called 'adventurers'? You waste your talents with the likes of them. Rory sternly responds, "Because Rhys was my brother, Professor. And you may address me as Captain Rory Dunstan." Panel Four: Hawthorne looks aghast, "Rory?! Gods, why didn't you say something sooner?" Rory angrily points at Hawthorne, "Because YOU still don't let anyone get a word in edgewise, you sanctimonious prick! I have half a mind to go to the provost instead and tell him all about those 'extra lessons' of yours." Hawthorne quietly, but seriously tries to bring the temperature down, "Now, let's not be hasty, Rory." Rory practically spits, "Oh, fuck you, creep." Panel Five: A manuscript and fluttering pages hits the floor. Panel Six: Hawthorne has Rory by the wrist, awkwardly twisting his arm, leaving them in a brief stalemate physically. Hawthorne scowls, "Do not mistake me, girl. My contrition is purely a matter of professional and social grace." Rory scowled right back, "Call me a girl again and I'll feed you your teeth." Hawthorne sighed, "You have twice your brother's wit and half his charm." "Now who's wasting who's time?" "Watch your tongue, Captain."

How quickly a power dynamic can invert when so sure of yourself you become blind...
Hawthorne looks taken aback, horrified at his own impropriety, gasping, "Rory?! Gods, why didn't you say something sooner?" Rory furiously responds, pointing a finger at the professor, "Because you still don't let anyone get a word in edgewise, you sanctimonious prick! I have half a mind to go to the provost instead and tell him all of those 'extra lessons' of yours." Hawthorne quickly implores, "Now let's not be hasty, Rory."

Just why is Rory bothering Professor Bryony wit their writing? Well, of course the Dunstan family are benefactors of the University so surely Rhys' former tutor would give a warm... oh. Rory will have to share a piece of their mind...

A cranky, frail looking man scowls as a young man enters his offices. Rory offers, "Professor Bryony! I was hoping for a moment of your time to submit my first chronicle to the-" Hawthorne interrupts him, "I have no time for frivolous submissions." Hawthorne tries to walk past Rory as they try to still get the chronicle in front of him, spurning him, "Waste my time further and I'll have you remanded to security." Rory persists, getting a little out before Hawthorne cuts him off again, "You haven't got time for the scion of a university patron? The Dunstans are-" Hawthorne sneers, "And why, pray tell should I care for work you clearly had your sister write for you, Master Dunstan? It's been years since you stopped needing my tutelage or extra lessons. Or have you tired of whoring yourself out with those wastrel so-called 'adventurers'? You waste your talents with the likes of them." Rory hardens, staring back at the Professor, "Because Rhys was my brother, professor. And -you- may address me as Captain Rory Dunstan."

I had an urge to draw Hawthorne Bryony being even more of an jerk than he realized... I'm slut for context so here's how I imagine an exchange with Rory while trying to submit a chronicle to the university library in their brother's name. (Prof Bryony belongs to @charlottetangle.bsky.social)

What if you’re hunting a terrible fey creature in the darkened back of house at the opera, knowing that it can wear your twin brothers face and has his memories of your deepest insecurities… for Rory, it’s more than just a psychosexual nightmare, it’s our next session of Scars of Sarkoris
Twin figures appear in a dressing room mirror, the front man looking trapped. A hand on his neck and his arm twisted behind his back. The back man menaces his twin, cold grey eyes staring into the mirror.

Rory's not exactly the slyest flirt, but they learned from one of the finest swashbucklers how to make an impression... even if some folks have perhaps more insight than others to what their jam is.
Rory, top left, smirks as he answers the question "Are you a top or a bottom" with "I'm a threat." Nellrine, bottom right, instead knowingly answers "They're a bottom"

110% Rory, the Inventor! Rory studied in the siegeworks during the crusades, an independent wainwright on the frontier, and has pioneered new understanding of golemancy, clockwork engineering, and stassian (tesla) technology. If his theories hold, he'll soon command an airship of his own making too.

Rory's on his way to the Opera, his 'date' for the night the military advisor and mentor he's studied under for the last year, Ser Aife the comet who would rather be anywhere else. A game a full year in the making, I am absolutely beside myself anticipating the consequences of our actions.

Hello! I'm Volkmeter, a designer in their illustration era, and I produce TTRPG inspired works, usually featuring my favorite blorbo Rory. I've recently reactivated my after-dark profile for most of the smut, but still post some spice here. Thank you again to LoS for the great community artshare!

*offers up Rory like a sacrificial lamb* if it pleases you, he just might deserve it... [6, 7, 9] after all, he's not shy, just a perv [10, 29, 30]. Though maybe he's been good and deserves better [3, 17, 24].
Rory (he/they aphorite) panics to try and grab his journal before someone sees he's been drawing his minotaur pilot and himself in some adult situations. Rory across time, from humble beginnings as a wainwright in a frontier town to his field work as a reclaimer and envoy to his current adventurous title of "Wizard-Thief" for being a uniquely strange inventor, archeologist, and thaumaturge. Rory indulging in some self pleasure listening to his fellow adventurers in the room next door.

"Let them go!"
"Who, the girl? I'm afraid I-"
"No, not- I know you can't give her back, or my brother. I mean the innocent bystander!"
"..."
"I put away my weapon, now you release them!"
"Ah. Let this be an object lesson then."
