Muncheons & Dragons

For today’s NPC spotlight: The Legendary Hero of the League of Seven: Scarlet the Red of Rubidia, called the Dragonheart. . . She’s an unbelievably powerful, infamous Vampire Slayer with a gargantuan battle axe and a hair trigger temper. We love her even as she tries to murder us. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndcharacter #npc #digitalpainting #digitalart #characterdesign #chatacter #art #tabletop #tabletopgames #muncheonsndragons #mnd #npcspotlight

Last but least only in size, the party’s halfling Rogue/Paladin Rubid Septis has a positively deadly divine smite and is most likely to be punched in any given scenario. Also his dead pet mouse is now his god. So it goes. . . . #dnd #dndminiatures #miniatures #minis #miniaturepainting #mnd #muncheonsndragons #dungeonsanddragons #paintingminis #paintingminiatures #dnd5e #rogue #paladin #heroforge

The party’s Druid/Warlock, the half-elf CeCe, is quick to fly off the handle and quicker still to crit fail any and all saving throws. . . . #dnd #dndminiatures #miniatures #minis #miniaturepainting #mnd #muncheonsndragons #dungeonsanddragons #paintingminis #paintingminiatures #dnd5e #druid #warlock

Arguably (definitely) the most competent member of the party, the SoC would be lost (and definitely dead) without their bard, the halfling Seraphina Greenbriar! . . . #dnd #dndminiatures #miniatures #minis #miniaturepainting #mnd #muncheonsndragons #dungeonsanddragons #paintingminis #paintingminiatures #dnd5e #bard

“How do you plead?” . . The town of Ravenburg, situated in a dark forest deep in the heart of Arien, is plagued by mysterious energy spikes, illnesses, and disappearances. The SoC, dispatched to investigate, quickly find themselves in over their heads and are forced to slay the Lady Melody von Hexenburg—who had been transformed into a fearsome Eldritch horror. . . CeCe and Mei, captured by the nefarious town council, are accused of Lady Melody’s murder and are forced to endure a Trial by Ordeal to prove their innocence. Fortunately Seraphina and Rubid were quick to intervene. After an extended battle, a (temporary) death, and a quick getaway—the SoC managed to flee Ravenburg with their lives. . . Enjoy a screencap from a recent (very intense) session where we reimagine the campaign in the style of Scooby Do! . . #dnd #dnd5e #digitalart #digitalpainting #sketchbookpro6 #dungeonsanddragons #dndcharacter #screencaps #trialbyordeal #muncheonsndragons #art #artistsoninstagram #wacom #CeCedied #butshegotbetter #scoobystyle

We finally got the gang together to paint our minis! We’re starting out strong with our favorite barbarian, Mei!

The SoC’s adventures in (and slightly beyond) Xetharia continue! Today’s post features an NPC recently introduced to the party: a reserved elvish librarian who asked only to go by Librarian Tarasarmae. . She joined the SoC in their venture to the Shadowfell to hunt down a map for the party’s favorite Dread Lich patron, Arkay. They arrived at the Sraeyeth, a grand library, retracing Arkay’s footsteps from some 500 years before. . The library itself was abandoned but for ominous, animated wood and metal constructs that guarded each floor...and the silhouetted figure that came and spoke with CeCe whenever she read a book. Eventually (after some truly creeptastic shenanigans that scared even the Great Old One in CeCe’s head) the party found the map they sought. They almost escaped without incident, until sticky fingers on the way out triggered alarms. . Things escalated rapidly, and problems of potential apocalyptic proportions followed the party from the Shadowfell back to the material plane. Arkay ordered the party to summon his old foe: legendary hero Lady Violet of the Violet Monastery, member of the League of Seven, to deal with the issue (and hopefully be killed in the process). . The Librarian agreed to cast the difficult spell to summon Lady Violet and whisk the party away to another plane to hide before Violet could kill them. But she did this on the condition that they later take her to meet Arkay—as she was actually Lady Quella Tarasarmae, Arkay’s old girlfriend, and had been laboring under the misapprehension that he had been dead for 500 years. . #dnd5e #dnd #muncheonsndragons #mnd #tabletoprpg #characterdesign #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalpainting #librarians

After spending a chaotic five days in Kessenich (where they “cured” a plague and caused a bat-ageddon that rained blood and gore down from the skies) the SoC has made their way to the Great Plains. They made some new friends (including a cat wearing glasses who turned out to be an elvish librarian) and were chased by bandits (who met a predictably grisly end) the SoC entered the Shadowfell at the site of the Grand Library in the hopes of locating a map, and finding the location Arkay’s former student, Karen, one of the four Dark Lords. #theresjustreallytoomuchtoexplainhere #thiscampaignissocomplex #therearelayers #thepartygoestothelibrary #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #muncheonsndragons #dice #roleplayinggame #tabletoprpg #tabletopgames

Happy Saturday! As the artist continues to learn how to operate her Wacom tablet, the campaign presents another party member portrait: CeCe, the half-elf Druid/accidental Warlock. . . . The Warlock thing happened when CeCe, in a fit of grief-fueled recklessness at the loss of her beloved animal companion Ozo and the destruction of Haven, purchased the mysterious Codex Kythis as a research lease from the Tenebrum Emporium. . . . Upon reading the Codex, there was no conversation. CeCe made no deal. There was just instant awareness of the otherworldly thing that calls itself Kyth. His message to CeCe was simple: her eyes were his, her mouth was his, every thought would be his. She would taste his power, and he would harvest any information she consumed. . . . Though she was discomfited at first by the presence of this alien being, CeCe quickly warmed to the new abilities at her disposal—including the bizarre third eye that grants her the ability to read all languages (except that ominous one that is slowly filling the previously empty Codex). What’s more, CeCe has convinced herself that their goals align. More than anything, she covets the power necessary to reclaim her homeland, and Kyth thirsts for knowledge. Knowledge and power are, of course, the same thing. . . . And besides, Kyth has only completely hijacked her mind once. Nothing to be worried about. . . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e #druid #warlock #muncheonsndragons #mnd #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalportrait #art #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #tabletoprpg #tabletopgames #paintingoftheday #wacom #wacomtablet #dndart

Hey all! Inktober is over, but the campaign art continues! As the artist learns about this digital art thing, enjoy another portrait of Seraphina, everyone’s favorite Halfling Bard! Seraphina is holding her Cithera, another research lease item from the Tenebrum Emporium. The Cithera is an ancient lute crafted from the bark of the King’s Tree in Vul (the same tree the party later exploded in the dramatic conclusion of the Vul arc in order to save the city). The Cithera was shaped by Kythaios the Great, functions as a bow, and is inscribed with text from a thousand tales. Lovely! When Seraphina acquired the lute, it was in a rather sorry state, but she’s since whipped it back into shape. It’s a very distinguished instrument, so distinguished that it seems to have a personality all of its own. Quite a forceful personality, as Seraphina never plays her old instrument anymore. And as CeCe can attest (while in her bloodhound puppy beast shape), Seraphina now smells overpoweringly of sandalwood. Mysterious, but actually the least ominous of the research lease items the party has acquired...so far. . . . #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #muncheonsndragons #mnd #characterdesign #halfling #bard #dndart #tabletoprpg #tabletopgames #art #digitalart #digitalpainting #painting #digitalartist #artistsofinstagram #paintingoftheday #characterart #wacom #wacomtablet #krita

Time for Arkay’s fancy dinner party! Where nothing bad at all is going to happen. As the DM repeatedly said, the extremely detailed map is “JUST FOR REFERENCE.” Right. #dungeonsanddragons #muncheonsndragons #dnd #dnd5e #brunch #tabletoprpg #tabletop #dice

#inktober may be over, but that doesn't mean the sketches are! Today we're featuring a guest 'artist', who was given the prompt "buff". The result was a peek into one of Rubid's dreams, where he successfully defeats Scarlet the Red with the help of sauerkraut, Popeye-style. Keep dreaming, Rubid, keep dreaming... #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #muncheonsndragons #sketch #art #roleplaygroup #drawing #dream #sauerkraut

Happy Halloween and happy final day of Inktober! Tonight, for the prompt #mask, our campaign presents the dramatic conclusion of the Vul arc, the Grand Masquerade, an event held annually by the dragon Royal Family of Vul. The Saviors of the City, along with others, have been contracted by the Tenebrum Emporium to recover the tongue of the world dragon, Sevilibir—a powerful magical artifact—which is held under lock and key beneath the Eldraesh (an enormous tree of living crystal) deep within the imperial palace. Unfortunately contractors of the Emporium weren’t the only parties after the Tongue. During this dance with dragons, a mysterious seductress named Gressil, revealed to be a Bishop of Eth, assassinated the Emperor and sparked a violent coup in the Imperial City. In the midst of this bloody uprising, the SoC managed to pull off their frantic heist, only to find Gressil in a chamber deep under the palace, arming a weapon that would destroy the great city and the surrounding 500 miles. The SoC managed to defeat Gressil and secure the Tongue, but were powerless against the arming super-weapon. Desperate to save Vul, the party convinced two super-powerful beings, the Dark Lord Anna Cruces and Legendary Hero of the League of Seven, Scarlet the Red, to temporarily put aside their enmity to help the SoC destroy the Eldraesh in order to stop the weapon and, once again, save the city. . . . #inktober2017 #inktober #halloween #masquerade #mask #masqueradeball #ballroomblitz #heist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd5e #mnd #muncheonsndragons

Happy Inktober 29th! Tonight, the SoC continued to participate in the Tournament at the Renaissance Festival in Kessenich, held by “friendly” Dread Lich Arkay to celebrate the repair of the city after it suffered near devastation in the dramatic conclusion of the Kessenich arc, early in the campaign. Back in town after saving (most) of the city of Vul—the SoC has decided to unwind by participating in the tourney. Pictured here are Seraphina and CeCe (in her giant eagle beast shape) soaring over Kessenich and surveying the progress of the pas d’armes. Seraphina, CeCe, and Mei run interference with opposing teams while Rubid, buffed and hastened, tears through the city’s back alleys to ultimately become the victor of the pas d’armes (and win the prize: a Broom of Flying!) . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inksketch #sketch #art #drawing #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e #mnd #muncheonsndragons #druid #bard #beastshape #eagle
