New AL PC: Jerenian

 NEW AL PC: JERENIAN


One of my new characters for AL is a tribute to my first two AL characters. He's the son of Jero, but named for Jarenian only it's spelled JERenian this time. How is the son of Jero a dwarf? Well, some sort of magic, I suppose. Maybe he was reincarnated at a young age and they just don't talk about it?

BACKSTORY: Jerenian was a quadruplet who grew up with a single mother. He never knew what fate had befallen his father, simply that his father wasn't there; his mother said he was named after one of his father's close friends. As a child, he lived a content life until he was kidnapped by pirates as a teenager. The pirates forced him to work for them until he escaped. After that ordeal, he went on a pilgrimage and decided to commit himself to the life of a tempest cleric adventurer.

State of the Blog 2022

STATE OF THE BLOG ADDRESS, JAN. 2022


I'm so very happy to say the blog is still alive as I am once again actively posting RPG logs and info. I anticipate posting more personal logs (PLOGs) as well, since the world is still dealing with the pandemic.

You can look forward to hearing more about my time in D&D Adventurers League, the non-AL games I'm in (such as FOW), maybe some book reviews, and my thoughts on current events.

Maybe I'll update the header graphic again soon, but I think it still looks great. If any readers of the blog have questions, please let me know. You can comment down below.

Peace!

FOW Logs 11-12 Phostwood

The Fish Outta Water (FOW) Campaign continues with...

Jerrison Shallowstream the half-elf tempest cleric,

Maw the gnome spirit bard, and

Zero-R-Alpha the warforged astral monk!


Session 11

The team has a week of travel with Lord Pierce the Spirit Naga. Since they were near the Gamboge Forest, the meadows, and the river to the Phostwood Forest they had to decide where to go adventure. The team chose the Phostwood because the trees there had a glow luminescence to them. Pierce agreed to a 50% loot split with the party while he stayed back in the tent-covered wagon. Jerrison, Maw, and Alpha entered the woods, where they met up with a group from the army of the Duchy of Tenth. They talked about the Old Faith. The leader, General Brand, recruited the team as irregulars (with badges) and sent them to go fight a group of Iuz-worshipping gnolls while his main forces took on the nearby bandits who were supposedly led by a necromancer.

The team found the pillar/obelisk area and killed some of the gnolls outside...

Session 12

Continuing from last time, the team approached the pillar and realized it was the size of a tower, about 120 feet tall. They took out the gnolls guards outside the main doors, went into each level, and defeated the enemies, which included: gnolls, pack lords, maw demons, shadow demons, a campion, detaches, a portal to a Balor demon, gnoll witherlings, and a gnoll flind! They found a decent amount of loot. Maw found a purple rock he was able to attune to and de-summon the tower (with a 10% risk of losing his identity and being turned into a mindflayer) and a potion of frost giant strength. Alpha got some eyes of minute seeing (which looked like purple gems). The team rested, leveled up, and brought the rest of the treasure to Lord Pierce (which included the flind flail holy weapon of "you-know-who," a tentacle-arrow+2, and some coins).

Discussing their future destinations, the team decided to wear south toward the County and Duchy of Urnst, where they would be able to stop in the city of Radagast to get supplies and such.

Updated AL PC Portraits

 Updated AL PC Portraits

I've been playing around in HeroForge and updating my character portraits. I love all the color options and all of the new items that have been added to the website. I ordered a physical colored mini for Jermanthor of Cormanthor.

Here are some of the updated graphics...

New AL PC: Jerzilla

AL PC: Jerzilla


I'm really enjoying playing AL Season 11. I got into an online game of Lost Mine of Phandelver and created a new character for it named Jerzilla. He's an emerald dragonborn barbarian. We had a lot of fun in the session. Hopefully we will continue soon and do the entire module.
