Many things happened, but perhaps the best was the second monster the party had to fight. As my DM is about to reveal the monster, she starts cracking up.

“Cody, I want you to know I planned this encounter back in August.” (It’s early January at the time)

Me: “Oh fun.”

Out comes a behir. In Draconic, it says “mmm, dragon. I haven’t had that in ages.”

Svelahmadeec (me): “And you won’t be having it today, either!”

The behir goes first on initiative. It hits with its wrap, squeeze, and bite, immediately taking “‘Deec” down to 0 HP, swallowing him whole like K in MIB. The party then collectively goes “o shit SAVE THE GREENHORN” and rushes to kill and bisect the behir before 'Deec can die from being digested.

It’s a mini-Escape From the Bloodkeep reunion this week on Breaking News!

I never did share the full version of this comic here (arguably, that was for the better).  Based on a true story.

A quiet smile. Thank you for reading, I hope you’re enjoying the story so far, especially right now as the characters take a moment for themselves.

Each purchase of an Eel book comes with a free sketch of Eel eating some new food, and it’s usually eating it poorly XD
