Out of all the pins, which one would you say you like best? Do you have an idea for a new familiar that you would like to see? If this project gets fully funded I’ll be adding new designs and there is plenty of room for more.
Holas! Would love to get some earrings too, but curious, are they just pinbacks? Loops? Also will you be offering clip on style for those of us who have closed holes or never got pierced?
Thank you!
Clovis rolls a purrsuasion check. It’s a 16. Blaze rolls a panic check (wisdom save). It’s a 15.
“Woah woah woah. Hold up here!!!” Clovis yelps. Normally he’s the one to leap into battle without question – but this clearly wasn’t a monster after all. “We’re just here looking for a unicorn we mean you no harm!”
Blaze wiggles her paw, and a small flame appears in it – she’s debating if she should prepare another spell. Clovis’ words seem sincere, he hasn’t raised his great axe or made any sudden moves towards her. Maybe they can be trusted. Then again – the arrow damage from Kirkle has thrown her off.
“How do I know I can trust you?” Blaze states with a hiss.
“You don’t, just as we don’t know if we can trust you.” Kirkle whispers.
“We are adventurers, we’ve come here from Purrth on search of the most beautiful creature in all the land. I’m Clovis and my hooded friend over there is Kirkle. What else do you want to know? I’m an open book!” Clovis says with a grin. Kirkle looks disgusted, he’s too trusting what’s to say Blaze won’t just use that flame to burn the fur right off his backside?!
“What do you want with my unicorn?” Blaze demands.
“Your unicorn? How is it your unicorn? You can’t own a unicorn!” Kirkle puts down his crossbow and crosses his paws under his cloak.
“We’ve heard stories of their majesty and want to see it with our own eyes! We’ve also heard of treasure hidden within their den. Treasure means more nip – more nip means more fish. More fish means – well no that’s where it ends, I’m in it for the fish.” Clovis winks at Kirkle catching his distraught gaze.
“I’m Blaze. I’ve been here trying to reach the unicorn for the last fortnight. I feel I’m hot on its trail – but I fear this ruckus may have scared them away. I’ve heard the first to befriend this unicorn will be given Ring of Shooting Stars. If they have this treasure who knows what else a unicorn den may hold.”
The three move together dropping their weapons, Clovis offers a small bundle of catnip as the sun sets in the sky. If they wait until nightfall, they’ll be less likely to spook the unicorn as they spooked Blaze. Each player loosens up a bit, and they share more about themselves. Clovis talks of his family, whom he hasn’t seen in many moons, and the call to adventure. In his village he stopped a fiery beast from destroying them all. That beast has vowed revenge and Clovis worries he could be lurking around any corner. These adventures help him feel like he’s stronger so someday he won’t be afraid to return home.
Blaze lives amongst the wildlife, she’s befriended the woodland creatures around her and helped many out of a jam. She has lived off the land for as long as she can remember, her tribe roams the planes on the Isle of Ocelot. If she brings home this protection her tribe can roam further than ever before.
Kirkle is a little more reserved in his answers – he follows Leira the lady of Deception. He worships her and hopes to someday join the ranks of her Mistcallers. Until then, he goes where the mist takes him and that is here with Clovis.
“What was that?” Kirkle ends his words abruptly – convinced he’s heard something.
Blaze and Clovis roll a perception check – do they hear the sound? Blaze rolls a 12, Clovis rolls a 19.
Blaze isn’t sure she’s heard anything – she looks around suspiciously maybe it was just the wind. Clovis’ ears perk up, he’s sure it came from the main path – just on the other side of these trees.
Should our party check out the sound, maybe it’s the unicorn? Or remain hidden – maybe Blaze knows more about where this unicorn is?
All 10 adventurers are unlocked and will be available to select in your post campaign survey!
Things of note:
We have gone with the new design of our sorcerer - changing to be able to see her fur through the magic swirls. Thank you all for your votes earlier in the campaign.
I'm working on selecting pantone colors as we speak so you may notice some minor changes in colors.
I will be moving across the country during the first few weeks of August - I may not have any updates while on the road but I will be pushing production to begin before leaving!
Clovis points in the direction he heard the noise and crawls to peek his head through the greenery. Blaze and Kirkle follow his lead.
Group stealth check- Clovis rolls an 18, Blaze rolls a 21 and Kirkle rolls a 19.
All 3 are quietly peering out, and in front of them they see a faint swirly glow around a small brown creature. At the tip of its head sat the perfect horn. This was no normal unicorn, but rather a Almiraj! Blaze scurries forward excited to see this beast. She casts speak with animals and bows deeply.
"Your majestic beauty has captured our attention! I have been searching far and wide for a creature of such grace." Blaze says.
The Almiraj appears frightened but the sudden appearance of another. Not to mention by the fact they speak his language.
"H..h..hello" he manages to whisper. "Our? Are you trying to harm me"
"No no of course not! We've heard tales of you and this island - we wanted to come see it for ourselves." Blaze motions to Clovis and Kirkle to come out of their hiding places. She wants to be clear they have no bad intentions.
"What have you come for? Clearly just seeing me is not worth this adventure." The Almiraj is skeptical.
Blaze doesn’t want to ruin her chances of receiving the Ring of Shooting Stars – she hesitates.
Deception Check. Blaze rolls a 15.
“We would just like to see the island and hear of your mystic past. We only hope to befriend you – and any others of your kind.” This isn’t technically a lie – so Blaze comes off sincere and the Almiraj lets down his guard ever so slightly.
“Come, see my home. Deep under the island lies a cave of wonders. But be weary, some corners have gone unexplored for millennia and who knows what danger is lurking there.”
The Almiraj turns with a leap and heads north. The adventurers struggle to keep up as they wind through the trees ducking under branches and around bushes until they come to an abrupt halt and watch the Almiraj dive down a dark hole.
Captain Blackbeard casts off and steers the ship around the island. The vessel skirts the coastline as the sun slides across the sky. Hours must have passed, our adventurers tummies rumble – it must be lunch time. Who are we kitten – it’s always lunchtime they’re cats. They pull out their rations and enjoy a meal on the deck.
The S.S. Fish Sticks rounds a protected outcropping and pulls in to drop anchor. “Okay boys, I’ll meet you back here sunset tomorrow – I expect a treasure, or I’ll feed you to the Tuna.”
Clovis and Kirkle cast off in the dingy to the shore of Unicorn Isles. A tropical green paradise from the outside with a mysterious mist hanging within. What will they find on the island? Can they bring the treasure they promised?
Only one path leads from the shore into the densely packed greenery. “Well, I suppose that’s the way to go” Clovis states, guiding the dingy to the shore and scurrying ahead.
Kirkle jumps to follow, ready to blend into the tree line.
Roll an investigation check – what do you see within the trees? Clovis rolls a 21, Kirkle rolls a 2.
Kirkle sees a crab and jumps in fear huddling under his cloak between two tree trunks. He’s forgotten why they’ve come and pretends he’s back home in his nice warm cat bed. Why does he agree to these things?
Clovis, see’s unicorn tracks leading further up ahead. Wow, this easy already! He thinks. He follows them forward 10 paces. He scans the area when his eye catches a small rustle within the leaves. Looking back Kirkle is right where he left him at the edge of the sand. What is that? He wonders.
Clovis rolls a nature check, what is it? He rolls an 8.
“Kirkle come on – I see something!” Clovis whispers walking back to pull along his companion. He doesn’t know what it is but assumes it’s dangerous. The two tiptoe towards the rustling, as quiet as they can to get a better look.
Stealth Check! Kirkle rolls a 9, Clovis rolls a 16. Kirkle’s dice clearly aren’t having it.
They sneak around a bush and notice a large orange tail slightly twitching, leading into the base of the bush. Kirkle steps back startled and steps on a fallen twig, snapping it in half. The sound echoes and he rushes to hide. Clovis stiffens – the tail pulls into the bush and out of view.
Introducing Blaze – the Druid. [Enamel pin unlocked!]
Roll for initiative. Clovis rolls a 12, Kirkle rolls a 19. Blaze – rolls a Nat 20.
A medium sized, orange creature with large antlers jumps out of the bush with a hiss. Claws drawn, ears back. She conjures an Ice Knife and flings it at Clovis.
Blaze rolls a 21. That hit. Clovis makes a dexterity save and rolls a 6.
Clovis’ arm is grazed, he takes 2 damage. Before he knows what hit him, the ice knife explodes, and he takes 10 damage from the shards.
Kirkle’s turn. He takes steady aim and pulls out his hand crossbow. Sneak attack gives him 1 d6 of damage. He then attacks rolling a 15.
Kirkle hits the orange mass, hitting for 5 HP. He takes aim and hits again, taking another 5 hp. The orange mass lets out another large hiss spinning to face Kirkle.
What should Clovis do? Attack, she hit first after all! Or pursued there’s no reason to fight. We’re all cats here.
