Mr. Peanut

After 104 years, Planters killed off Mr Peanut.  I am more bothered by this than I probably should be.  Maybe it's a nostalgia factor.  Maybe I can't help but think it's some kind of cheap ploy. I don't know.  I have given the matter some thought and have decided to turn the sentient legume into a D&D character (3.5e in keeping with my home campaign).

Grotto and the Temple, Arthur and Agnes, Cedron's Healing, and the Battle of Kurinost

07 Newkolt 349 AC Note: The Temple of Kiri-Jolith is based on "The Ghost Blade" from the 3rd edition Dragonlance Campaign Setting Sourcebook, modified for level and to fit the plot of our current campaign. AT THE ABANDONED TEMPLE OF KIRI-JOLITH A wide smile crosses Grotto's face seeing the heroic elf. "This must be their war god of this temple. It warms my heart seeing him kill the filthy goblins!" Grotto thinks. Grotto inspects the statues carefully, looking for a spot the new found horn may fit to open up a secret path. He moves from statue to statue, searching for a niche where the horn would fit. The tiles, those which still remain intact at least, begin to glow. Light runs along the design and creeps into the statues which shift and step down from the pedestals before raising their weapons. EN ROUTE TO THE DRAGON ISLES Arthur's eyes drift toward the horizon as if he could see the distant streets of Lankhmar through the clouds. “I grew up in that ...

Beldam (Other Mother from Coraline)

Image
I watched the movie “ Coraline ” for the first time this weekend.   Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen snippets of the film here and there over the years and I recognized the character when the movie started but I have never sat down and Watched the movie (or read the book).   By the time the show was over, I have to admit that I was fascinated by the entire thing.   The animation and pacing were incredibly well done and the main antagonist was delightfully wicked.   This is who I want to focus on today – Beldam, a.k.a. the Other Mother.   Some viewers may think that she was some sort of demon, offering children their heart’s desire in exchange for their souls, much like a crossroads demon but I feel like she more closely resembles a faerie, a member of the Unseelie Court who is allowed a great deal of independence in her operations.   I also think that since the protagonist, Coraline, was just a child that Beldam wouldn’t necessarily have been overly power...

The Dragon Flees, Kiri-Jolith's Temple, the Warehouse, and Arthur and Agnes' Roadtrip

  07 Newkolt 349 AC Note: The Temple of Kiri-Jolith is based on "The Ghost Blade" from the 3rd edition Dragonlance Campaign Setting Sourcebook, modified for level and to fit the plot of our current campaign. AT THE ABANDONED TEMPLE OF KIRI-JOLITH "Wait! Don't go! Are you a god!" After waiting for a response, Grotto attempts to speak to the disembodied voice again but feels communication may be in vain. Grotto then takes the horn with him and returns to the main chamber with the floor trap. He pulls his throwing axe and opens the door ahead. A steep stairway emerges into a long, wide chamber. Unlike the previous chamber, the ceiling, walls, and floor have been covered with small, brightly colored tiles—although the color has faded somewhat and some tiles are cracked or missing. Along the walls the tiles pick out images of an elven warrior wielding a gray sword and wrapped in what seems to be a flickering aura of pale gray light. The warrior is seen battling a...

Kiri-Jolith's Temple Continued (Again), Leaving the Elven Camp, Tending the Wounded, and Battling the Dragon

07 Newkolt 349 AC Note: The Temple of Kiri-Jolith is based on "The Ghost Blade" from the 3rd edition Dragonlance Campaign Setting Sourcebook, modified for level and to fit the plot of our current campaign. AT THE ABANDONED TEMPLE OF KIRI-JOLITH Grotto walks down the corridor to the shrine. He inspects the stone alter for anything unusual. He orders his shield to float over his head. Grotto then takes the horn to investigate what it could be. As the priest of Hanseath touches the horn and lifts it from its stand, a feeling of warmth spreads throughout his body. His aches and pains fade away, leaving him feeling refreshed. The gold shines with a soft glow, illuminating the chamber. A sense of peace washes over him and he hears a voice, clear and filled with purpose. "Do you swear to fight evil? Will you combat injustice? Will you mend the rift between the peoples of this world and show them the true path of brotherhood?" Grotto's eyes open wide, he nearly drop...

The Staff of the Oaken Serpent

Image
The Staff of the Oaken Serpent is a short, almost club-like staff covered in a mottled green and yellow leaf pattern. The stout end of the staff vaguely resembles a serpent’s head. Constant Powers: Quarterstaff +3/+3 Invoked Powers: By touching the staff and speaking the appropriate command words, the wielder is able to cast the following divine spells from the staff at the cost of one charge (CL8 or wielder’s Druid level, whichever is higher) - Call Lightning, Entangle, Obscuring Mist, Summon Nature’s Ally V Additionally, if thrown to the ground, the staff transforms into a giant constrictor snake that obeys all commands of the owner (in animal form, it retains the +3 enhancement bonus possessed by the staff form). The serpent returns to staff form whenever the wielder desires or whenever it moves farther than 100’ from its owner. If the snake form is slain, it reverts to staff form and cannot transform or be used to cast spells for three days. Staff of the Oaken Serpent (animal fo...

Jamaros vs Baatar (Round Three)

Image
18 th day of the Month of Conflict, 126 th Year of Factol Haskar’s Administration   Having taken the measure of his foe, Jamaros cast his axe aside, letting Heaven Scraper drop to the floor of the cage and bared his teeth in a rictus grin that showed his cruel canines.   The barbarian spread his arms wide and leapt at the walrus-man.   The Thanoi swung his stone axe, clipping the ghoul as he closed in.   Jamaros barely registered the blow and grabbed Baatar around the chest, locked his hands around his own wrists, planted his feet, and lifted the 350-lb walrus-man off of the ground and began to squeeze.   He could hear the Thanoi’s ribs crack as he applied pressure.   The walrus-man dropped his axe and began raining blows down on top of Jamaros’ head in an attempt to break free but the barbarian held on, crushing his foe even more tightly.   Baatar howled, or tried to howl, in pain as the broken ends of his ribs were driven into his ...
