alright dnd rambles
going to drop some characters so they make a little sense when i ramble
Honey/Bug/Pluto: my character, all the same person, they're a swords bard changeling who's now finally going by their true name Pluto after everything happened- ill switch between Honey and Pluto.
There will be a little bit where I will refer to Pluto as a different person because of how changelings work in this campaign.
Kintsugi (Kins): my fellow player, war-forged cleric/paladin multiclass, daughter of Amen Rei (their god)
Gintsugi (Gins): Kins' sister, the golden cloak
Infierna: high priestess of the church of Amen Rei
Mars: changeling, Honey's ex but also they had spoken after and re-confessed that they loved each other but promised to talk after the battle, keeper of the town
Dro'kar: second Honey love interest, vampire and lord of the town
Alton: my adoptive dad <3
Jack: third love interest whoops, once-upon-a-time bbeg but he is in love with Honey. Jack is the bard of bards, only fought with them because of honey
Liktor: robot, keeper of the town
The changeling family: if I say any planet name (Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, Mercury, I.O etc etc) theyre a changeling and important to Pluto
Yorick: THE bbeg, who we killed
last night was our 'final' battle- what was meant to be the finale but we begged out dm to go to lvl 20 (we reached lvl 13 after that fight)- and it was fucking INSANE
So to start out its just honey and kins fighting against some raised dead red moon knights (from the church of Amen Rei) that were kinda beating our fucking asses- slowly, people start turning up and we can randomly check on others as they do their fight
The fights away from the main fight were the town defenders consisting of Dro'kar, Alton and some of the other main npcs as well as Dro'kar's familiar. Then there was the changeling family + Trina the fairy of Primon (Primon is the town, Trina is also Honey's adoptive mum as of recent). And lastly the church led by Infierna at first and helped my Mercury on Honey's orders.
Back to our fight we're getting our ass kind beat, Yorick is sending his trump cards out to fight the other teams which include a chimera, a gargoyle and a giant golden lion as well as the dead red moon knights. We are fighting the red moon knights, Yorick himself, and Yoricks final trump card whos name I cant spell but hes a dick and also a semi god (aka, fighting TWO gods. not our first god fight either lmao).
Gintsugi shows up to help us first, then Infierna, then Mars and Jupiter- and then at some point Honey agrees to the terms of a contract and gets Jack involved who focuses on Yorick alongside Liktor. Zeke (uhh Dro'kars dead fiancee, Willow's familiar gifted to Honey to help out) is also there throwing hands with the 2nd semi god, and FINALLY our last help is a giant iron golem that guards the woods.
Honey almost fucking dies a couple times, Yorick keeps counterspelling his counterspells and throwing legendary actions his way. Venus interrupts a spell Mars does and Yorick kills Venus. Pluto has to tell her husband, Neptune, who desperately tries to stop the attack to focus, Neptune dies at some point but we don't know what happens. Yorick's attention turns to Pluto who's giving him a lot of trouble and casts Disintegrate on him, which would have killed him as he was on 3 hp at the time.
But Mars, a paladin, has Pluto in his aura and redirects the hit to himself. While smiling at Pluto, just before he dies, Mars tells him "I think you've got it from here" and then turns to dust.
I sobbed.
That's when Pluto got his awakening. Changelings get a special ability they can unlock in their very very worst moments, Pluto's has been slowly building during the lead up to this battle, and losing Mars is the finale straw. A huge dome of ice surrounds him and all people can hear from outside is him screaming in agony. Pluto shows up- the old Pluto, the original holder of his name and his gift- and finally they get their gift. A set of deep black wings and ice magic.
Pluto gets all his hps back (theyre not fully there, theyre basically temporary, he still needs to be fully healed after everything) and then starts throwing hands with Yorick who gets scared and runs away after aiming three meteorites at the manor in town (very important building, town is done for if thats gone). Liktor dies, Jack is down and out of the fight but not dead, leaving Pluto, Kins and Gins, Infierna, Zeke and Jupiter. Jupiter and Gins leave to protect the manor. Pluto, Kins, Infierna and Zeke head down into the catacombs to finish this fight.
This whole time no joke ive been rolling LIKE ASS. BUT FINALLY. My first few hits on Yorik is a NAT 20 upped to 31 AND then an 18 upped to 25. Great, Yoricks looking ROUGH.
YORICK KILLS KINTSUGI. RAISES HER AS A THRALL AND BANISHES PLUTO.
Zeke breaks the concentration by attacking Kintsugi after Infierna refuses to attack her love. The concentration ends, Pluto is back ON HIS TURN IN INITIATIVE.
And takes Yorick's head off his shoulders.
Wise ol' Eloquin, fate itself, shows up in this last part because Pluto can see him, and Yorick's fate is finally sealed, the fate he thought he had cut himself from.
They return back to Primon, the manor is standing but the town itself is back in ruins. Mars, Venus and Neptune are dead, Liktor is dead. They're the only deaths. Kintsugi is bought back by Infierna who saved her last spell slot for that exact reason.
And that's where the session ended.

Gonna post about my little story I have rocking around my skull
Superhero one but dealing with toxic relationships or atleast try and attempt to, probably just a little introductory post for the protagonists since my friends have been getting SLOGGED with me ranting about them for the past few months
Two protags are Eve Ashwood and Valerie (W.I.P last name)
eve is a inventor, her power is restlessness/insomnia (essentially sleep is not a biological requirement for her even if tiredness is still experienced) currently in a school designed to teach future heroes and hero related careers, eve is studying to become a officially recognised inventor and designer for hero gear and gadgets, not cause she actually cares about heroes and helping people but because it will get her recognition and it’s a fun challenge designing to work around or with others powers. Contemplating having another layer with her parents being marketers for heroes, handling all their PR and public image work and such.
anyway it’s all a facade anyway; eve doesn’t care for it or anyone else really, she just using it as a opportunity for a closed glimpse into the inner workings of the hero system as she wants to take over the world; either through dominating the market for technology to make it all relent on her or through plain old domination and subjection.
Valerie I am torn at the moment; either way she will have superspeed that is based on vibrations (vibrates herself to move at superspeeds), originally she is a student training to be a offical hero but is very passive and a people pleaser to the point she is kicked out as she freezes when sparring as she can’t bare to hurt people, and is a push over to all of eve’s whims as she is called her “lab rat” or “favourite test subject”. The other option I’m playing around with is that Valerie is a egotistical asshole; bragging about her herself and calling out all the corrupt shit that meets her gaze; she would still be a “good” person but very brash and not at all sensitive or tolerant to more grey areas of thought.
either way Valerie would be a social outcast of sorts for how she acts for having no personality as a pushover or for being too strong of a personality, and eve would be one too but that’s cause she cannot see anyone as a “equal” and is always covered in grease and oil and shit as she practically lives inside her lab.
Basis of story is that these two terrible people meet and get into a unbalanced toxic relationship (eve controls it all but Valerie would be on a trigger switch of emotion), but they end up in a situation where their forced to actually care and consider others around them, growing into sorts better people, they’ll still be assholes but the relationship would be shaped into a healthier one after the events they go through.
The threat is Gonna involve goo that gets into people and controls them; trying to spread as far as it can to get more and more people; and either quarantined inside the school or maybe the entire city not sure, but definitely a situation where their stuck in a location as help cannot reach them. Still fiddling with the origins between someone else’s power or the original idea was goo from future where eve succeeded in her goals and this little change in the timeline gives eve and Valerie a change to have a more healthy relationship.
Gonna flesh this out and post more later with more info and art; friends just encouraged me to post about it on the old tumblr and I’ve been meaning to be more unusual and strange online for anxiety overcoming reasons
