Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw [OOC]

[Voadam]

I find searching for appropriate images often tough. Google images is pretty terrible in general. D&D art often has tattooed magical women so maybe random trolling through the WotC art galleries for appropriate images. I've had good luck with that before for other characters. The wizards portrait gallery is all black and white and often not that good though there are some gems. I'd also check out Claudio Pozas' stuff, there is probably a link to his site through the Fiery Dragon one. He goes by the handle Klaus on ENWorld.

Not quite the short brown hair but here are some more urban looking mages . . .

Before the tattoos? Mysteries of the Moonsea http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/moonsea_gallery/98216.jpg

Arr...one thing I found on the art sites I've checked so far is that the tattooed mages seem to always be elves.

The hair, I'm not really worried about. I can always tweak the description of the hair if I find a good pic. Ina's hair is not central to her concept.

The second one you have there isn't bad...and I like the third too.

Maybe I oughtta just photoshop some markings onto an otherwise appropriate picture.

Thanks for the help and advice!

Eeee

I know we can't look in the monster thread, but every time I see it update, I get worried.

 

[Voadam]

OOC: I'm assuming that enough time has passed since the last battle for our Reserve Points to have kicked in (and for Weylan to have recovered his Psionic Focus).

Correct, I updated the RG first entry a while ago but must have forgotten to notify everybody of that.

 

[Voadam]

OOC: What's that you're using for goblin, portugese?

Yes.

I've also used french for elven and german for abyssal in other campaigns though they have not come up in this camaign. Yet.

 

[Pyrex]

Heh, I suppose just about anything sounds evil in german.

I forget the name of the song/band, but apparently there's fairly popular industrial/heavy-metal track by a european band with german lyrics.

Somewhat in spite of the gloomy tone/image; it turns out the lyrics are a cookie recipie...

 

[Shayuri]

Is it just me, or is this fight REALLY FRACKING HARD for a 1st level group?

...

Probably just me. Still, after wasting every round except one either missing or failing SR checks...at level 1, mind...I feel I have some grounds to be frustrated. :\

Ah well.

In theory, the dice will even out...in theory...

 

[Pyrex]

It's not just you. It's hard.

What remains to be seen is whether or not it's *too* hard.

 

[Pyrex]

I tried opening the doc you posted IC and Word just choked on it. Could you repost as text in {code} tags something like this?
