nansliceSo we had our first actual play session on Tuesday night and in the very first room my character Ariadoris and another character needed a Constitution save. Due entirely to my bad decision making haha. In the second room, Ariadoris and a different character pulled out their instruments (a dulcimer and a mandolin, respectively) and try to find out if the giant rats would dance. Spoilers: they did not.
(I remind you, Ariadoris isn't a bard, he's a paladin; he just has a instrument due to being a far traveler)
It was a very good play session and we had a lot of fun and I'm so glad I jumped at the chance to join this group when it was first proposed. ♥
Is anyone else watching The Passage? I love, love, love Amy, her ambivalence towards her mother and her death, her strength and her hidden vulnerability. She's easily one of the most sympathetic and likable child leads I've ever seen so far. I am also really enjoying Brad, who could have been such a stereotype (and he still is, kinda) but he's so emotional and so tender towards Amy and it's just so great. The vampire creatures are suitably spoopy and I love how, even though they're locked down, their ability to infiltrate dreams still makes them such a threat.
I've also been listening to The Magnus Archives on my drive to and from work. I'm on episode 54, I think, and I remain so invested in what's going on! What is going on?! I have some sad/bad associations with it so I gave it up for a while but shrug, I want to listen. If anyone else is following, please come chat with me about it! No spoilers tho, I want to go in completely blind. :3
Edit: Oh also, I know that the holidays are over but uuuhhh, I'm still sending out holiday cards. I'm so sorry. XD I'm so late with everything omg.
