[rubs hands together evilly] yo if that didn't happen i might have to write it anyway XD

...this is about a stuffed bird.

He's a lost knight who bit off more than he could chew, and has ended up enthralled to [redacted], a power in the castle -- and his whole thing is that he "is mindlessly reciting the oaths he took in life and says nothing beyond these words, looping in on themselves forevermore," and "cannot be reasoned with and fights to the death. As he fights, he continues to calmly recite his oaths, unresponsive to what the characters say."

For the record, only one of my players knows hermitcraft.

So feature me, last night, RPing this knight and (badly) reciting Helsknight's tenets from RS&S because heck dang it if I'm going to put a tragic Welsknight in this D&D game he's gonna be a RS&S-flavored Welsknight. XD

(And they didn't kill him -- my bard managed to charm-person him and reach just enough of whatever knight is still there under the [redacted]'s influence that the knight knelt, driving his sword into the ground. They left him there, white-knuckling the hilt as if trying to keep himself from being torn away. It was very satisfyingly dramatic, but far more so for me and my one player who knew there was a CHARACTER behind the encounter lol)

All that is to say: thank you for writing those tenets for Helsknight, they came in very handy for being dramatic as I RP'd a tragic version of Wels! :D

Really really wanted to draw this, but I am losing more and more free time to do so, so instead I will just say this is incredibly cool!! Incredibly cool!!

Firstly: glad you're having fun with the Decked Out module! I read through the module a few times and thought it looked awesome! I hope your players have fun with it!

Secondly: WOWOWOW!!! THAT SOUNDS SO SO COOL OH MY GOD. I'm glad you could use the Helsknight tenets! And in such an epic way. And the visual??? Of Wels stuck in that hall?? Hanging on to what's left of himself [literally, literally] for dear life??? I'm?????

God.

It's funnier on video version

So this wasn't completely random bc the Hodge songs are with the rest of the story songs but!

"Next To Me" by Imagine Dragons.

Honestly not sure where on the scale of cyborg to human @redwinterroses and @darkleweather 's cyberpunk au falls, but I kinda had fun with the varying levels of cyberware.
