    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    “Ok,” Toras narrowed his eyes, “Answers. But answers to what?” The fighter didn’t trust the babbling, serpent-eyed crone any more than he trusted any given yugoloth, and it showed on his frown, and his question. Nearly every time that he’d received a vague description and a task to perform...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    The past update happened way way way earlier than anything else that we know about Shemeska's past history. Worth taking that into consideration as you're putting together a timeline. We'll revisit this most recent scene eventually and get a view of what was going on prior to and after her...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    Prehistory: The obsidian blade punctured velvet, silk, fur, flesh, and fascia without the slightest resistance. It punctured her right ventricle and then with a flick of a wrist it neatly bisected her aorta, flooding her chest cavity and then dousing her chest above it with a bubbling fountain...

    Shemmy's Planescape Storyhour #2 (Updated x3 10-17-07)

    Yeah the lich was above the suggested CR for the party, but at the same time they had a Red Wizard (who himself aspired to be a lich) helping them. It was a challenging fight to be certain, and the PCs had a fun time with it all. Years later I'm still proud of the atmosphere I was able to build...

    It has been years and years. But IIRC this campaign started out at around level 5.

    Apologies is this is out of place here. So I've started a Patreon as basically a tip jar. Like my fiction? My storyhour? The random RPG stuff I post? My in-character Twitter nonsense? Consider helping me out as I'm in school for my PharmD and have basically no income...

    I'm not sure why you'd receive any toxic feedback for this particular question. The topic in general is covered in enough published content such that it isn't anything out of the blue. For this specific case it really depends on how you personally would characterize both A'kin and Shemeshka in...

    I applaud your work in reading through not only the full length of the story hour but probably also others' and my commentary along the way! I'm genuinely humbled that you've enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it slowly (clearly much more slowly than I'd like) unfold here to you and others...

    I've not been active on Enworld much beyond posting the storyhour (and I'll continue to post it here until it's finished), but I'm most active on Facebook and Twitter (and good Lord I've got my main twitter @ therealshemeska and my in character alts @ askshemeshka @ Ilsetsya and @ Shylarathe)...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    As their eyes adjusted to the darkness beyond the great bronze doors of Portent’s Great Hall, the first things they noticed were Laughing Jane’s eyes. A glimpse of yellowed, crooked teeth flashing in a grim smile as the sudden light exposed her, but above that the absence of normal eyes and...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    Conjecture of this sort genuinely makes me smile. I try not to comment too much on them for worry of spoiling things a decade in the making and years left to go before all is clear and defined. Love never ends well for yugoloths, and it's never "love" but various iterations of jealousy, greed...

    **** Shylara the Manged stood alone in the room's darkness, physically present rather than engaged in the trickery of projections and color pool-derived surrogates. Her eyes remained glued to the floor, her ears flat against her head, and her tail tucked between her legs. She was not worthy to...

    Thank you so much! I'll hopefully have one sometime next weekend. Everything must bend to my class and exam schedule. I'll make sure that the update will be worth your time to read :D

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    There's not really anything out there on her except for that bit in 'Planes of Conflict'. There is/will be more here, and since you're interested in her I'll probably add some more than I otherwise would have. I seem to have a tendency to take minor characters from the original setting material...

    <3 You do, and she'll antagonize right back.

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    She only appears in the Planes of Conflict box set on a page or two about the city of Portent. I actually own the original DiTerlizzi artwork of her from that box set, courtesy of two friends (one of whom was Clueless's player) who straight up bought it from Tony at GenCon a few years ago when I...

    “I’d like to speak with the Portal Jammer’s owners.” Factol Nathaniel spoke with a polite, congenial smile, without any irritation as he stood at bar, “All of them ideally.” Clueless narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man’s wrists and other exposed skin, looking for any evidence of one of the...

    I've been on a clinical rotation for the past two months, plus I just finished up with another freelancing project so I'm spread pretty thin. Of course I'm also having fun with askShemeshka on Twitter, so my attention isn't ever far from Planescape ;)

    The three figures talking to Vorkannis are the ones responsible for stealing those books in Sigil in two different places, and in murdering the Factol of the Fraternity of Order and stealing some stuff in Mechanus - all at the same time. They all look like Nilesia. Mostly. And then there was...
