This week's DnD Character Colouring Book is what happens when Fluffy says words on the drive home after Friday Night DnD (last week... or maybe the week before, I forget).
I don't remember how we got there, but we were talking about Noble characters, and that I would do something outside the box with one. Which I've already done with both Lady Ovelia and Whipmaster Demyan, and, honestly, when we were talking about it, I'm pretty sure we were both thinking about a male character. It was only later that I realised that it would definitely be a female character. And then I remembered about the Fire Knives, "a syndicate of noble-born assassins, extortionists, enforcers, and spies based out of Westgate". Sounds pretty much perfect, honestly.
The top is one that I normally wouldn't use, but it just worked for her. Especially when I used the leather texture. She definitely has a collection of hidden blades about her person, but I can't decide whether the gold accent on her chest is actually a hidden blade or the handle of a whip, probably with a metal thong... and yes, I just looked it up, that's what the main flexible part of a whip is called.
But, you know, mostly poison. Which works perfectly with the 2024 Assassin subclass.
Will she ever show up in a game, probably not. But it was a fun exercise.
Anyway...
Chicken and Rice soup this week. Always a strong addition to the rotation.
This week's Mini Media Reviews... we start off with William Tell from 2024. Haven't heard of it? Yeah, there is definitely a reason for that. It's beautifully shot, but a lot of the actors aren't great. It definitely gave a lot of attractive young men a paycheck and an IMDB credit though. It's not terrible, it's just lacking.
Next up was the "second season" of Ranking of Kings. Because it's not really a second season, it's not a continuation of the story, it's basically just a season full of things that feel like they were cut out of the original season for time/story purposes. Or just that people involved had a bunch of ideas left over that they wanted to do things with. Strange. Not bad, just strange.
Red Dead Redemption 2 continues. I'm about 45% through the story, not rushing it, just enjoying doing whatever I feel like doing at the time. And because I was still fucking around with it when Fluffy got to my place of Friday, we solved an issue that I'd been having with the Legendary Fish (basically I was equipping the bait not the lure, thinking that having the lure visible on screen was the same thing). After we workshopped the issue, I caught three of the Legendary Fish within 10 minutes.
Friday was Chiro Day. Always good for a monthly tune-up. Afterwards I did some wandering around and did some Looking At Things. Stopped off at the library briefly to return something.
Friday Night DnD didn't happen. Mr had something come up last minute. So Fluffy and I did movies instead. He inflicted Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island on me. Let me be controversial yet brave... I know that's considered "one of the good ones", but yeah, it wasn't doing it for me.
We did follow that up with The African Queen. Because I love to expand Fluffy's experience with the classics. Also, it's just a damn good movie.
Anyway...
The usual Supermarket Saturday. Then we took a trip down to Kmart because I wanted to look at their candles again. Because candles. I got a popcorn/butter scented candle.
And that's that.
