#Bavlorna Blightstraw

[itsguysnightitsironic]

"Gresca i destrucció, riurem i ens penedirem, el cremarem el dimarts i patirem fins el diumenge."

"Party and destruction, we will laugh and repent, we will set him on fire on Tuesday and we will suffer until next Sunday."

I almost forgot the whole Carnestoltes and Vella Quaresma celebration when it literally goes hand in hand with OAUW themes.

Some context under the threat:

- The Carnestoltes i la Vella Quaresma represent the two extremes of the balance, the excess, "El rei Carnestoltes", and the abstinence, "la Vella Quaresma".

As the story sings: the King Carnestoltes brings party and joy for days, but after a whole week of partying, no sleeping and "sinning", the people find themselves exhausted, with their homes destroyed and no food for the winter.

So Carnestoltes is sentenced to death by the stake on Tuesday and on Wednesday "El dimecres de cendra" (Ash Wednesday) starts the 40 days of penitence (no meat, no eggs...) marked by the seven legs of the Vella Quaresma who loses one every week, ending in Pasqua (the return of Spring).

-The style is inspired by the nostalgia and softness of Pere Torné Esquius illustrations.

"Venedora de globus" cap els 1907 de Pere Torné i Esquius.

-Also, also, the demons represent the Correfocs, pyrotechnics spectacles made by adults and children dressed as demons throwing fire and spurns around.

Which is the coolest thing ever. Also there's dragons dances.

This is a threat for you to forget Sant Valentine and go watch Correfocs-

This is very random, but since Go-Go-Autism started talking about Ice Nine Kills, I wanted to share a random tidbit about the other horror band I listen to that's a lot more obscure, Creature Feature.

I personally consider 'Dem Bones' by Creature Feature to be Bavlorna Blightstraws theme song. If you get it, you get it XD.

Context: when you’re trying to sneak around a hag’s house but you run into her little minion scouts who are on their way to investigate a loud noise you just made and now you have to leap in front of a door at the end of a hallway so the minions cant go through and warn the hag

My Witchlight-players finally left the carnival behind them yesterday and ventured on through the portal into the Feywild where we will begin our next session 🥳

The managed to see all three of the Hourglass Coven’s thieves - Sowpig when she tried to lure the halfling NPC into following her in the hall of mirrors, then they spied a Lornling stealing from a child; after that they were on the lookout and during the Big Top Extravaganza two of them managed to not only apprehend Gleam’s shadow, but also reduce it to 0 HP, effectively destroying it. They weren’t really happy about that since they wanted to ask it questions, so they went searching for the Lornling again. They went on the Gondola Swan ride just to potentially spy it, and, well, the Orc Druid rolled a Nat 20 for a total of 25 on the perception check. And they were pretty good sneaking up to it, they saw it on its way back to the Hall of Illusions, where the Harengon Ranger had already been on a stakeout since Candlefoot told her the thieves would sneak in and out from there. They surrounded the Lornling and managed to grapple and subdue it, and even asked it some questions regarding who sent it and stuff.

So… my players have a Lornling now. I’m not quite sure yet how that’s gonna play out and where its allegiance should lie - I mean, the book says Bavlorna makes them because she doesn’t trust anyone else, but wouldn’t it be funnier if they could try unionize her Lornlings?

The War of Winter

Meeting the Queen of Summer

Olhava and Owain and the Sticky finger guild went to the Summer Court to see if the Queen would lend aid to the cause. Which Olhava and Owain upon entering the Court they see Zepp, Palneor and Elendor.

Elendor gives the pets the update that Sage and Wittr have traveled to the Waste of Glass because Selena did something there, and they went to see what is up.

Queen Hestia greets the group, Owain and Olhava steps forward and ask if she could provide aid to fight of the witches. To the pets happiness, she has thrown her crown in with fight. The Autumn Court had sent Elendor to fight as well.

The Queen gets a message from the Spring Court, The Court of Winter is starting to mobilize an attack on the Spring Court.

Owain for some reason immediately thinks “Crap! Pan’s tavern and the kids we need to go and warn the Queen of Spring ASAP.”

The group moves out quickly, but Owain did see a tapestry of a frog hero (the Player me was so happy to see nods to Boko.)

Olhava had ask Queen Hestia if she could send a message to Sliver Horn and tell them what’s up and to meet up with group.

Court of Spring War Room meeting

Getting over to the Spring realm the group sees the Spring Queen Ruduna. The group greets the Queen and they get filled in about the Winter Court. So, the group has to move out now, which the spring army (elves and other magic fae creature roughly maybe 20 or so, I can’t remember)

Owain does tell the Queen about Pan and the kids, which to both Olhava and Owain’s surprise the Queen has never heard of place, Owain shows her on the map where the tavern is located, and she sends scouts out to find the tavern.

Ok what we know about the Court of Winter:

The Queen of Winter is Mustava

Her advisor is Bavlorna Blightstraw, one of Baba Yaga’s daughters and a member of the Hour Glass Coven.

Owain and the Sticky Finger Guild are not looking forward to this fight because of the winter and they are frogs.

Owain asks one more thing of the Queen of Spring and points out that the Guild would not be able to survive the hard winter environment. The Queen grants the frogs magic warming armor (she enchanted our armor so we can stay warm.)

The army heads out, with Elendor leads the army, he knows where there is a entry way.

Traveling and talks

Owain and Olhava had gathered information about Fern castle and the Verdant Prince, but they ask Elendor what is his deal.

Elendor explains that the Verdant Prince is a powerful person, he came and killed the last ruler of the Fae wilds which is the mother of the Queens of season (Ruduna, Mustava, Hestia and the Queen of Autumn) Owain did notice that Zep’s smiling face was replace with a sad face.  Elendor explains that since then the prince hasn’t done anything with the power.

Owain go over to Zep and asks if he is ok, to which Zep replies he doesn’t want to talk about this topic, so Owain with the hopes of at least making him smile (ok I looked up a joke and I can’t remember what site it was so credit to the person who made joke.) tells Zep a joke “why do paladins were chain mail?” he ask “ because it holey armor” which got Zep to laugh Owain pats Zep on the arm and jumps back to Olhava.

 The army comes to the wall of where they could get in since the main entrance has a barrier not letting anyone in.

Elendor warns the army is going to be passing by cave that has a huge stretch of land called Wates of Wind.

Long story short the monster that lives in the cave kicks up a massive snowstorm and the army saw huts and seek save harbor in there to wait out the storm and recover.

Lots of Falling and Story Woods

The army leaves the huts and they deicide ,after Elendor told the group that Storywood is a dangerous forest, it makes you see things that are not there. So, a little bit of a narrow road the army goes around the forest, but not without problems.

At one point, a few of the members of the army wondering to the woods and Owain did try to get them back but fell under the wood’s spell.

The DM describes to Owain that he was back at the Karken’s den and Thaddues offers bug martini drink to Owain and it looked (for a frog) the most delicious thing Owain had ever seen.

After a few Save rolls and Olhava coming to the recuse Owain manages to get out of there.

And proceed forward Olhava falls in the river too.

The Court of Winter fight

Our group gets the tower, and we see a massive battle of Stags and snow people and creatures fighting and the Stags are winning. At one-point Owain looks to the tower and on the balcony, he sees two figures on in a gargoyle stance on the railing point at the fight and looking at the other figure. They are Bavlorna Blightstraw and Queen Mustava.

Mustava makes a huge snow monster, and they were gunning for Sliver Horn, Wild Heart and Bramblehoof.

After some epic fighting Bramblehoof got knocked around and so did Wild heart those retreated, but Sliver horn stands tall to face the creature.

Owain gets an idea and asks Wudon and Zep if they could combine fireball and make it big enough to turn the tide of the war?

So, Wudon who knew Fireball started casting and Zep amplified the spell and when the spell was released, Wudon got kicked back into a snow bank his arms are sticking out of the snow. That spell took a chuck of the creature.

It also made a hole in the tower where Mustava and Bavlorna were, so Owain, Olhava and Zep and Sliver Horn took this chance to go and deal with the two inside thinking if they stop the tower duo that will stop most of the monsters.

Twig being dead is so sad, Alexa play Despacito

My S/I would definitely be on the floor sobbing or sobbing into Torbek bc they'd feel so bad for not doing more to protect Twig

NO, DO NOT GIVE TWIG WITCHLIGHT KREMY. ONE IT WOULD DEFINITELY HURT TORBEK AND TWO WE DON'T NEED A ZOMTWIG WITH A MURDEROUS DOUBLE PERSONALITY

If the scene wasn't so sad, I'm sure Kremy would be plundering the bronze toad for its money, bronze frog would be EMPTIED fr fr

I wonder what the rubix cube Frost got does (I don't care what Nikki says, it's a rubix cube to me)

I find it extremely sus that Twig died in the room with “Child sized coffins" in it, like was she always meant to die and the party just got too attached or what?

Torbek apologizing for not fighting good enough WHEN HE LITERALLY ALMOST DIED is so sad, leave my favorite pathetic cat man alone >:(

Time is another important factor in The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and the three hags of the Hourglass Coven at the heart of the story are tied to the concept of past, present, and future. Their kingdoms of Hither, Thither, and Yon also reflect the three sisters’ different manifestations of time. Each of the hags exerts power over their realm—and when they’re displeased, their realm is displeased and things can go awry.

Eldest sister Skabatha, also known as Granny Nightshade, is a recluse who lives mostly in the past. Her dwelling is in an ancient forest. She passes the time by making toys for children and is part toy herself. Woe betides adventurers if the wind-up key sticking out of her back runs down.

Bavlorna Blightstraw, also known as Slack-jawed Lorna, is a toad-like hag who embodies the present. She can create miniature manifestations of herself, which run around her and perform odd tasks. She exists in the here and now and doesn’t dwell on the past or pay much mind to the future. She lives in the swamp settlement of Downfall, among a court of bullywugs.

The third hag is Endelyn Moongrave, also known as Bitter End (“I adore her art,” Chris says, “and hers is a fascinating story”). Endelyn is a prognosticator who can see the future. She lives in a mountaintop theater, where she has plays performed for her amusement. But she also wears a dress that can double as a theater contraption so she can perform plays telling the future of those she meets.

Born Guilty

It doesn't matter what happened, what happens or what will happen, in their eyes, you were born guilty.

The fact that hags aren't born but made, hurts me deeply and I will never sleep again.

Happy Women's Day, keep fighting and shouting, if you don't choose a role for yourself someone else will force you into one.

Another bit of semi-old art; this is my art of Bavlorna Blightstraw, the Toad Hag. Made her based on a combination of Nikki's description and what was in the campaign art.

'I bid you welcome my guest,

I have something to get off my chest.

I'm a fan of some degree of curiosities.'

Now now, don't you fret, I have a spot for all my guests-

On the mantel or the bookcase, I can always make some space.

All the beauty of our days, a shame it's got wither away.

You'll live on, rest assured, and forever be preserved.'

OUAW Mini-Liveblog

(Spoilers, obviously)

So, got to the end - speak of the devil and the devil shall appear I suppose XD. I know I shouldn't be happy to see Bavlorna again, but I kinda am tbh. The other two sisters seem evil, while Bavlorna mostly just seems insane - same end result, but different reasons for doing it, ya know?

But something I just realized; Bavlorna wasn't lying to them when she was pouring her heart out about her sorrows regarding her late husband. Cause remember back in the temple vision? It showed that Bavlorna had a husband, who she attempted for years to have children with but to no avail, and the sorrow of this claimed her husband's life (whether he died of heartbreak or he committed suicide who knows).

So, all she really lied about was that she trusted her wicked sister to bring him back, the rest wasn't a lie.

OUAW Thoughts EP:39

(Minor spoilers ahead - and also semi-NSFW)

Rewatching EP:39 for the hundredth time and I'm dying at the part where Bloody Toes mentions Bavlorna has a guest and Gideon's dirty brain assumes she's getting stuffed. Never forget that at one point in this story Gideon called Bavlorna a 'saucy minx'.

It's funny enough by itself, but the more you learn about her through the campaign it just gets funnier and funnier. Goddamnit Gideon XD.
