Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

I think the ideal Priggle story is pretty much summed up in the Ballad of Halo Jones (Alan Moore, Ian Gibson); Book2, episode ?? entitled something like "Whatever became of whats-her-name"? First appeared in 200AD comic issue 413.

Somewhat iconically, I can't locate the precise details for this on the web...

Cheers

Priggle in a bikini fighting tentacles, however, is absolutely okay. If disturbing.

OK, I've got priggle in a bikini fighting tentacles ready... what I need to know is - is it only one update per artist, or per piece of artwork?

Just deciding whether to post him or not... :)

Cheers
 

I hate to say this, but -- I'll guarantee one update per artist, and until one artist swamps me with a bajillion pieces I'll try to add another one per piece of artwork. The goal is to end up with cool art that showcases the game, and that's what I'll say "thank you" for by keeping to consistent updates. :D

In other words, let's see it!

In the campaign's current plot arc that we're finishing right now, Priggle isn't with them. He stayed in the underdark. I'm wondering if maybe he should make a reappearance in the next adventure, just because he's so much darn fun to have around.
 

Any word on those character descriptions? I can do a couple of the characters with what KidC gave, but I'd like to get a better idea for everyone if I can. :)
 

Stone Bear:

A northman: tall, rangy, blond, and unkempt. Average in almost every way--
not particularly strong, tough, smart, wise, or attractive, but with a
quickness and economy of motion that belies his eagerness to come to grips
with his enemies. His bear's-head cape, seemingly fresh-skinned from its
prior owner, adds to his strength and endurance. Just between the tops of
his high ratty boots and the low hem of his chain shirt, you can barely make
out strong, wiry legs and scarred, snow-burned knobby knees. Stone Bear
flexes his hands into fists, and the bear's tendon wraps around his knuckles
grind and groan in anticipation. Sacred fire begins to snake across his
enitre body-- his only weapon. His raven flutters away with a cry, leaving
empty eye sockets staring out at you-- and through you-- as he studies your
soul for every weakness.


Malachite:

CURRENTLY IN STORY HOUR:
Athletic build, about 6' tall. Dark hair, brown eyes, pale skin. Van
dyke. Consensus seems to be that he'd be played by Dylan McDermott.

Crystal plate armor with spikes (githyanki make, as it turns out).
Shield a with sun-symbol on it. Chapellar surcoat (green with a white
chevron). Wielding a sun blade in his right hand. Badass leather
gauntlets. Surprisingly garish cape.


TODAY IN GAME:
As above, but change pale skin to tanned. Crystal armor is no longer
spiky. Chapellar surcoat now has gold trim. Over the surcoat he now
wears a metal-link sash, running from left shoulder to right hip; set
within it is a large green emerald, mounted on the belt so that it is
positioned over the heart.

Nolin:

5'8" or 5'9", with sandy blonde hair and green eyes. At rest, his features seem too large, too clumsy and too melancholy for traditional good looks. But fired as they are by the continual flashes of humor, inspiration, intelligence, mockery and sheer force of personality, Nolin's features are seldom at rest. He used to dress in greens and greys, but the gift of a Celestial Battle Cloak of ruby and gold from his sister Kiri and friend Tao put an end to subtle dressing. Nolin's usual expression is one of intelligent self mockery. When he plays, the wry demeanor falls away to be replaced by an expression of transcendent joy.

CURRENTLY IN STORY HOUR: A pile of grey dust, burnt feathers and slagged equipment.

I can't hold a candle to the "serious" artists in the art thread, but I love doing the wild and woolley suggestions. I'll read back through the storyhour to get ideas, but I'm open to suggestions :)

Cheers
 

Hey PC, I'm not much of an artist, but I can draw a decent map. Do you have any vague scribbles you've used for prevous battles that you'd like converted into a decent-looking map?
 

What about "stuff"? It seems like Malachite's sword and Velendo's shield would be good art fodder. Maybe even Lightbringer?

Heh, if I could draw, I would seriously consider doing an amulet that I hear Malachite picked up. ;) Not that I have any art talent. But if I did a poor example, perhaps somebody else would be inclined to do a better one? Oh hey, houw about a circle of cheese? Maybe a montage of stuff piked up from Nacreous in the thread dealing with stuff like that?
 

And verily, the Story Arc didst come to an end. And Lo! the people cried, It Was Good.

Great job by all concerned. A truly memorable end to a battle that will change a campaign world. And best of all, several of the vaillains got away! Huzzah!
 

Wow, talk about a cliffhanger. Malachite, knight in shining armor, about to open the door on... whatever. Heh heh. :)

Unfortunately, I have no talent for drawing and currently no time for it even if I did. :(
