Hack My Dungeon

“Vervain” Rabbitfolk Gunslinger (‘Gun-gun Bun-bun) Commission done for Zac. • Player’s notes: A cold and imperial soldier on the outside, but a caring and devoted protector down to their heart. Vervain was once a soldier, since then defected and roaming of their own accord. The remorse they feel for their actions in the military are balanced only by their attempts to help others they happen across.

“Hellfire and Hellfrost” Character art commission done for George Sprague. These are two characters of Geore’s from City of Heroes.

I had a lot of fun exploring with the powers, and working with the ice and fire elements. A fun change of pace from Fantasy to Superheroes!

“Kurgi and Wilson” Oathbreaker Paladin, Pirate Dwarf, Skull Enthusiast.

Kurgi is one of my oldest D&D characters, and Wilson is his oldest friend. Originally an Oath of Devotion paladin, Kurgi was sworn to protect and fight beside first his ship, then later his guild. His ship was destroyed, and later his guild fractured apart, and when Lurgi turned against his fellow guildsmen his final oath was broken. Now he only fends for himself and his pet skull.

Wilson has been with Kurgi since the beginning, in the first dungeon I played as the dwarf he found a humanoid skull, which he decided to take as a souvenir, and will often be found talking to or puppeting the skull. He also utilizes Wilson tactically when on adventures and infiltrating enemy territory, most often as the diversion.

Commission for D&D character art: “King, the Yuan-Ti bloodthirsty pirate lord”.

THE WHISPERING THREE

Most bards know the story, but few dare speak it.

Infamously fabled, especially among the traveling performers of the land, is the trio of the Whispering Three. Renown for their hatred of bards, each of these three adventurers are told to have been dreadfully wronged by a traveling minstrel, each swearing enmity against all member of the trade. Some say that all three were victims of the same bard, others of a single traveling troop, but no matter the case their grievance and hatred for bards forged their alliance and gave them cause to travel the lands and rid the world of singers and seducers alike.

Lord Victor, Harbinger of Whispers was said to have been a warlord who’s size and might eclipsed other soldiers on the battlefield. When his great helmet peaked over the lines of shields and men both sides would fall silent with dread. His greatest defeat was said to be at the hands of a bard, who terrorized his army’s camp as they slept with haunting music that drove his men mad with fear. When day broke those who had not deserted were drained from the restless night. As quick as the sun’s light rose the enemy army rode in and attacked Victor’s men, and disorganized they scattered and drove them off. Victor since swore to personally cleave any musician and their instruments he crossed, and banned any form of music from his warcamps, and all his soldiers are trained to communicate through signals and whispers.

Fenairie Bonepicker was a druid of an elven wood, known for her close friendships with the fey creatures that enchanted the forest. Once a wandering bard came into her domain, and lurking he found a dryad singing and was taken by her song. He proceeded to stalk the dryad and tried to enchant her with his own songs, asking for her hand in marriage and to leave the forest and be his forever, but she refused him. The dryad sang that she was bound to the forest, to the willow of her mother and could not leave it, even if she became enthralled with the nagging musician. The musician in his cunning devised a new plan to claim his bride, he brought an axe to fell the willow, and then captured and bound the dryad and lead her from the forest. But now withered and weak as her mother’s tree was dead, the dryad soon could walk no more. On the edge of the forest her body crumple, and disgusted by her as the fey creature’s beauty faded, the bard abandoned her still bound and sick. Fenairie found the dryad dead in the morning, and learned of the Bard’s misdeeds. She swore to kill any non-fey musician, and banned mortal songs from her woods forever. It is said the bone belt she wears is made from the knucklebones of the musician’s whose fingers she steals.

WRITERS’ CHALLENGE:

Reblog with your own story for this character.

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million great death knights

Rolled damage die

So GoT’s The Mountain is played by Thor Bjornsson, and that name kinda translates to “Thunder Bear Boy” and I think that’s beautiful
