Today's deeper development:
I've created at least 10 AU scenarios for Ekka and how his life went.
One of my favorites is the one where Tiamat offers him a weapon instead of Bahamut, and boyo just goes on a straight up crusade. Justice at the price of his soul. #EkkaandFriends
"The Waterdeep crew's story is not finished; only this chapter has come to an end." #EkkaandFriends
"That's such a touching moment..."
"Shut up, Fronk!" #EkkaandFriends
"I didn't think I was your type."
"Eh! I could do worse."
"...I'll take it!" #EkkaandFriends
Tonight, it's the last (for a while) #EkkaandFriends.
It's the epilogue...or should I call it...the Ekkalogue?
I dunno.
What's he gonna do, now?
Long live Captain headband, Steve the Pirate, the poor son of a bitch that was eaten overnight three years ago by carrion crawlers.
...This campaign had some dark moments. #EkkaandFriends
And now, it's time for feelings.
#EkkaandFriends has, technically speaking, come to an end. The void emperor is destroyed, balance is restored, all that good stuff.
In three weeks, we run the epilogue and see what comes next.
The party crashes down on the void emperor with their reliquaries. At the literal end of the world, six charged attacks reduce the eyes of the void to nothing, and the party is plunged into a pillar of light.
#EkkaandFriends have helped restore balance to the universe!
"We are everything, and we are nothing."
"Okay. I was hoping for like a name, or...something." #EkkaandFriends
Also, we finally had a (consensual) toss the kobold moment, for the first time in almost three years!
Gravity works really strangely in the void. #EkkaandFriends
"Don't poke the kobold."
*Ekka does 106 damage in one turn* #EkkaandFriends
#EkkaandFriends Finale part two: Void Boogaloo!
Who's ready for a quick deviation from the norm? It's D&D on a Thursday!
"How are you guys supposed to fuck my aunt if she's dead?" #ekkaandFriends
That one came after the session, but my gosh, that was perfect.
...Finale part two, electric boogaloo!
That's right. This finale was SO huge, SO epic, we're gonna have to do the final boss in two phases.
Good news for all of you: there's more #EkkaandFriends coming!
"Should we ramp it?"
"What does that even mean?!"
"I don't know but it sounds cool!" #EkkaandFriends
*Gem does a little bee dance and wiggles her butt*
"This is how you communicate, right?" #EkkaandFriends
"Vault just canonically invented cup holders." #EkkaandFriends
This finale is all over the feckin' place.
WE GOT THE DM TO SAY ANAL #EkkaandFriends
Serious moment: Elly, knocked prone, has a host of attacks fly at her. Just before she's struck, her mother jumps in the way and takes the whole brunt.
What would have surely been a killing blow is stopped by a quick potion save. #EkkaandFriends
"I wanna say anal...I really do."
"Just say it!" #EkkaandFriends
"It can be hard to get it up sometimes. It happens to everyone." #EkkaandFriends
"It's reverse Lana...so...Anal!" #EkkaandFriends
"If you really wanna die today, be my guest." #EkkaandFriends
Yes, we're still playing, and shit is finally getting real.
"It's only been a fucking month!"
"...But it's been a -fucking- month, for sure!" #EkkaandFriends
"What do we say Dash? We're basically...
...doing great. That's right." #EkkaandFriends
"The birds, the bees, and the immortal trees."
"Splinters for days."
"Who's fuckin' trees?!" #EkkaandFriends
It's not D&D today.
It's D&F: Dungeons and Feelings. #EkkaandFriends
"I'm calling the cousins."
*a banjo appears* #EkkaandFriends
"Did you roll a nat 1?"
"...And we are off to one hell of a start!" #EkkaandFriends
