Sometimes inspiration comes in various forms and coalesces into one unhinged final product.
Chenna Wildcloak is another in the list of Making One Of Every 2024 Class. Along with Paladin Rowan, Cleric Zovi, Ranger Kellen, Rogue Raali, Wizard Emrik, Sorcerer Shadur, Monk Zak'n, Fighter Rin and Barbarian Oren. Chenna covers the Druid portion of the list. The Circle of the Moon specifically.
Chenna is also very much cat-coded. So her four starting forms would be Cat, Lion, Tiger... and while I could double up with a Panther, the final one would probably be a Reef Shark, because you get to have a beast with a swim speed right from the jump this time, which is nice. Although I do also have a fondness for the Crocodile and the Giant Crab since they can both survive out of water. But I feel like Chenna is definitely more of a shark.
She's a feisty halfling woman who is also a shapeshifter, so you know... she does bite.
The additional inspiration come from the fact that Hero Forge dropped a bunch of new fingernails and claws this week. So Chenna was Number 1 on the list of Characters Who Needed Claws.
And all of that happened at the same time that I've been mainlining episodes of Teen Wolf all week. More on that later. But that show has a lot of people with golden yellow eyes and big old claws.
A last minute addition was Chicory... he is both Chenna's Wild Companion Familiar and probably roughly what she looks like in her cat form too.
Now we only have the Warlock and the Bard left... but, I'll be honest, the Bard might never see the light of day, because I'm not completely happy with her. The Warlock though... he's a character I definitely will be playing when we finally switch over to the 2024 rules. And he's been through a bunch of iterations, which oddly enough, kind of started with Liberty.
Anyway...
This week was Tuna Noodle Doo rather than soup. Not a bad iteration, although as often happens, the pasta does tend to pull too much moisture out of the mix when I make it outside of the regular recipe proportions. But it was still pretty good.
As I said, this week I continued in my deep dive back into Teen Wolf. I was just about finished Season 2 last week, now I'm on the last disc of Season 4. And Season 3 is the same length as 1 and 2 combined. So there's that.
I will say that I absolutely remember almost nothing about Seasons 4, 5 and the first half of 6. Even most of the way through S4, I still don't know where we're going fully. And things are happening that I was convinced didn't happen until S6. But, with all that being said, Season 3 is the best season of the whole run of the show, and more specifically, the second half of Season 3 (or, as I like to call it, Season 3.5, because it's basically an entire new season which they just call part of S3). It is so damn good.
And while the show is still firmly High Camp Melodrama... or, you know, basically a Supernatural Soap Opera, it's still an incredibly solid show overall.
I also continued on with my crochet project... and got most of the way through another ball of yarn before deciding that the whole thing was too wide and the wonky edges bugged me and... frogged the whole entire thing and started over. Now it's entirely possible that the whole entire thing is slightly too narrow. However we will wait and see...
Friday Night DnD was a relatively short one, due to people having things on this morning. Which was fine, because we're still rounding out our downtime in Waterdeep. I am very much going to miss being able to turn a dice roll of a 2 into a 24 on Intelligence checks when I'm no longer playing this character. I mean, he can't roll Persuasion to save his damn life... but he's very bright.
Anyway...
Today was fairly standard. Shopping, unpacking, general banter. We didn't do anything much else though.
