D&D with friends literally cures everything

“I am obscene to you, but to myself I simply am.”

had to do something for my favourite movie of 2025. Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” rewired my brain for the better, and i’ve been completely obsessed with the artistry of it. what a beautiful, poignant film 🍁
#frankenstein

the last of the crew gets on the ship, and we all manage to climb on, leaving only one of the enemies alive. we take off, and end the session there

our Sorcerer has incinerated 16 enemies with Fireball this combat alone 💀

my Paladin managed to kill the Captain, saying to her, “At least you tried.” The Captain spits in my Paladin’s face and comments that, “At least I can finally see your true face.”

our Sorcerer went down, which means Haste broke which means my Paladin is incapacitated which means her AC is back down to 19 😭

our Sorcerer accidentally did a wild magic surge and cast Fireball on the Captain and the rest of her guards, so we have no choice but to fight them…whoops

Happy #TheWavesOfWolfsheadBay day everyone!

last session, we ended on a huge cliffhanger. the Captain of the guard for the town that we’re in supposedly has proof that we’re pirates…after chatting with my Paladin the night before. we may get arrested or have to make a hot exit

the Party takes off, heading to the docks. we see the Captain, alongside some guards, holding a warrant. our ship Captain stands, confused. the Captain of the Guard suggests that they come along quietly. we end session there

we head to sleep. the next morning my Paladin wakes up. she realizes the Captain isn’t downstairs for breakfast. in fact, she’s probably not even in the inn. my Paladin rushes to the table of her Party, spilling that she talked to the Captain last night and maybe said too much

the Captain, ultimately, ends up walking away in part due to my Paladin’s lack of forthrightness and honesty. she heads to go to sleep. the Navigator checks in on the families of the children we saved. the Lookout begins carving a pipe. our Quartermaster goes for a walk

afterwards, my Paladin talks to the Captian of the local Guard, sharing some bits and pieces of her own story and even some of her crew. she discusses why she wears the mask, and attempts to be as honest as she can be.

we play a card game, getting tidbits of lore from each of us regarding childhood memories, regrets, or secrets that have already been revealed until the Quartermaster reveals that he Wished someone alive. the game ends

we also got levelled up to Level 5!!!

we head out in the morning, meeting the Count and gathering our reward. the Count is gaudy and excessive, wearing gold-plated shoes. we get our medals from him, and our gold which we spend time divvying up before we depart

Happy #TheWavesOfWolfsheadBay Day everyone!

last session we saved the children from the werewolves, returning to town as heroes. some intense conversations happened, lore was dropped or revealed, and we ended the night with the knowledge that, tomorrow, we’d get our rewards

we head to sleep, ending the session there.

we cut to the Quartermaster, Helmsman, and Lookout who talk about their various crafts. they then discuss about where the rival Captain and her ship may be.

they talk — my Paladin asks questions about the Navigator’s hometown. she attempts to Insight her but fails, with my Paladin revealing that she had a dream about that town and was taught to cleanse the rot. she suggests that the Navigator send letters home to see it needs help

…which contains kinda why she wears the mask, and also why she can’t speak in front of her Party about it.

the Navigator shares with the Party about her daughter, who had passed. they briefly talk about it before my Paladin goes to pull the Navigator aside.

my Paladin agrees and sits down. they get into it, with my Paladin being asked about her mask and why she wears it. it boils down to something religious or intentional, a promise made to an old, dead friend while she slides a note to the Captain…

we return the kids, being told by a guard to meet the Count tomorrow. when we return to the fancy inn we were staying at, we run into the previous local Captain. my Paladin goes to talk to her, when they eventually land on playing a card game where they gamble secrets

we decide to long rest at the camp, taking watches. on my Paladin’s, she’s distracted by the absence of stars where the…cursed (?) moon hangs as she thinks on the vision she had

we loot some of the bodies. the Navigator helps the kids out before the Quartermaster settles them down around the campfire and tells them stories to calm them down

Happy #TheWavesOfWolfsheadBay Day everyone!

last session, we fought some werewolves after making a…not great decision of which way to go before pushing ourselves to exhaustion, arriving to fight the last of the werecreatures before saving the rest of the children.

the two remaining werewolves run off into the forest. we stand, a little bloodied, but having saved these children in the nick of time as the full moon is, i believe, tonight

our sorcerer turned into a potted plant

most of the werewolves are dealt with, but we’re still fighting them, and our frontliners are BARELY standing but there’s always time to clown on your D&D character

do NOT ask my Paladin to make a stealth check gang

we find the werewolves, noting them from a bit of a distance as we look at their camp. there’s snippets of conversation, but no children’s voices. they’re gruff and growling, with the occasional yips or barks or snarls.
