#arvalen

this is probably the most impressive thing i’ve done lately. i’m still so damn proud of it

scene from the kingsreach 5e campaign i’m in! a bit of context and bonus silly version under cut!

purple: arvalen (npc); white and dead: carunas (pc, cleric)

backstory expo session showing in a sort of shared dream-session how current carunas (who is a reborn one) died and was reborn. his city was destroyed by invaders (because it’s a city of necromancers and Necromancy Bad except Osovan necromancers are pretty chill and not enslave-y) and he and his family were able to escape, in the process releasing arvalen (his best friend, imprisoned for Cwimes) to help him escape as well

except they were jumped outside of the city and everyone but arvalen killed (bc arvalen is effectively immortal) and after arvalen wrecked the enemies’ shit he proceeded to absolutely lose it, refuse to accept carunas’s death, and then fused part of his immortal demon heart to carunas’s and brought him back. (it got complicated from there)

carunas (and his player) didn’t know this was how it went down and the whole session was just intense and amazing and breathtaking and the reason why i started recording our sessions because i was Not going to miss something like that again. (yes everyone knows they’re being recorded. im also using it for animatics. i only have one done so far but im working on it ok)

anyhow here’s the silly version, cawunas and awvawen:
