Ella Camina (She Walks)
His grandmother was in no mood to be respected, despite her children and friends gathering at her bedside to do just that: pay their respects to her. In the main, she preferred to be left to herself, to lie in her bed, suffering from the effects of age, in decline, but this wish, her familia could not grant her.

Down The Cold Dark Barrel - Part Two
As quickly as Winston faded into the night sky, he opened up hazily to a morning ceiling. His glaring blue eyes striking wide after feeling the sun gleam in from a window that also permitted a pleasurable breeze and the elegance of birds singing. Picking his head up slightly to view his surroundings, his own neck had him locked in place and kept him down in the awfully comfortable bed. Never had he felt so much comfort while being in so much pain in his life.

600 AD - Session Zero
This series will be following, as best I can recall, the events that took place during a D&D campaign that I very much enjoyed. It has been on hiatus for a while now due to various real-life events that have kept the group from continuing, but we all have a decent amount of hope for the future, and in the meantime I should at least be able to piece together the events that happened so far. In this post I'll be going over the basic layout of information from the start of the campaign, as well as the information regarding the character that I played.

"Evil" Queen: Vampire Hunter. Runner-Up in Legends Rewritten Challenge.
Artemisia, newly Queen of Schwarzwald, saw the signs in her step-daughter immediately. The current beauty trents might tend toward fairness and red lips, but not like this. Skin as white as freshly-fallen snow, without even a pink tinge at the cheeks. One might be tempted to call it a deathly pallor, had the young princess not been witnessed running and laughing like any child might be expected...

The Dragon's Child
In a fantasy world of witches and wizards, there lives a dragon who has never seen another creature like himself. One day, while she was out exploring the forest, she comes across a small human toddler who appears to have been abandoned. It was a spooky night, the sort of night where the moon is hidden behind thick clouds and the only sound is the rustle of leaves in the forest. A gust of wind blows through the forest, rustling the leaves of the trees.

The Art of War and Letting Go
The clashing had finally ended, arms fells, now what remained was the re-collection of weathered-down men. Blanketed in scabs and erratic graybacks, they crossed the Big Black River, finally reaching stabilized Union territory. It had been a slow-going and harrowing journey. Their travelling party was a sorry sight of scraps and badly bandaged leftovers who had finally been released from the Confederate camps.

Dark clouds gather - part two
Continued from part one: As Spaemann arrived home, he saw the jeweled case lying on the table, his black cat, Trinity, curled up before it. The ornate tooled-leather case was a thing of great beauty, adorned with swirling silverwork of breathtaking artistry and encrusted with every shade of gemstone. He marveled as he lifted the lid to reveal the Sword of Avalon.

"Camouflage" (Roman Version)
So, like most parties, in this campaign, we were not in a modern setting. We were in a D&D 5e Fantasy version of the Roman Empire, circa 600AD. Also like most parties, we ended up making a decent number of references to more modern entertainment. The first time that I did it actually even made it into the campaign as something Bastian ended up singing one night - not so much to the party, but more to himself while he was bored. Lead to some interesting interactions. That'll come later as I go through his journal entries.
