#morbol

When it sprouts, what shape will it take on?

Well, it's been a while since we visited Occult Crescent. Somehow needing to grind my way to knowledge isn't entirely enticing, despite what my usual days would have one believe. Yet this sudden disinterest on my part did not perturb A'nijah at all, and so we found ourselves within the -er- rather 'mindboggling' rooms within the Gelmorran ruins underneath the southern part of the Twelveswood. Strangely unnerving little place that's had me magically gagged and Nijah frogified about every five counts. Buuuut-! It was also the absolute best. For one specific reason. Just. Look. At these absolute beauties!

These lovely aggressive ladies came with their seedlings in tow, showing there's a thriving morbol population within these crystal-lined caverns! I could hardly believe my eyes. Absolutely stunning creatures. We unfortunately did not manage to happen upon buds or fruits, which makes me wonder if perhaps these ladies collect their budding offspring within rooms that were somehow inaccessible to us, yet easily exited by their seedlings. There is definitely enough prey and moisture around for a fresh little morbol to grow, so it is a possibility. Something to think about. Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to spending more time with these gorgeous creatures and perhaps, with some luck, bringing a seedpod up to the surface. How closely related would they be to the morbol and stropers of the contemporary Twelveswood, I wonder?

Morbol slithers its way into the Untamed TT lineup!

The Malboro/Morbol is my favorite Final Fantasy enemy, I think.

The design is cool, and usually when it shows up it means I probably have some opportunity to learn its Bad Breath ability for use with my own party, at which point it's my favorite method for debuffing enemies. OwO

Also here's a FFXIV-relevant version.

Not too long after that, I threw my hat back in the ring for DMing after having taking a break. But instead of just running 1 game, Instead I setup a poll for my group to select which different system I'd try and run each week, called Last Stand. Originally just single long combats to test out systems, it's evolved into a number of different one shots and setups over the last 7 months or so. Among them were Lancer, Chronicles of Darkness, Cain, DnD, and the first time I drew the boss for the event, Final Fantasy 14 the TTRPG.
