Hello, Everyone!
I still haven't prepared the next posts for the Mary Windfiddle story, but I had some mindless time browsing through past photos and found a few that might be interesting for whoever likes the D&D side of the whole thing :)
Here're a few pictures of fights we've had during our adventures that I haven't shared yet on this platform, as well as some other stuff that might be fun to see.
Enjoy!
This one is from the first fight that I ever took a photo of. It's all the way back to 'A Patron's Request'. Remember? Gillean (there still not named) gave Mary her first mission, so she took Aurum with her and went for it.
The next picture is of a crystal I found in a friend's drawer which reminded me of 'lumeer', the blue-glowing, life-saving crystal that Mary found in the cave under Sylvanas' laboratory.
This one is from the bloody fight with the Roper which kinda started Mary's descent into nightmare-land. It would be a lot of struggle to forget (or at least stop thinking of) the crunching of bones between that monster's teeth!
Here's a picture of Mary's familiars in action. It's not as interesting as the battles but it's still something 'out of the kitchen'.
The next two are actual pictures of Mary's farewell letter to her parents. I wrote it with ink and nib, but the paper was super unsuitable for the medium, so I did a lot of smudging and scribbling.
Since then, it's cannon that Mary has an awful handwriting.
This one is from when the trio first met Nurvureem. It's not what actually happened (obviously!). This is us comparing our size with that of the dragon and mockingly imagining how we'd beat her (at level 4!) because we're so cool and awesome XD
Next up, here's the fight with the Draw in 'The Prison Cart'. All the d6s are the poor prisoners, and can you see the white circle in the upper right corner of the picture? This is the circle of Darkness that almost got us killed! (Also, if you zoom in on the character sheet on the right, you can see Bruno's full (and impossible to spell) name!
This one has a funny story :) It was around Christmas time and I decided to get us custom-made minies of our characters. I designed them in HeroForge and went to a board game shop to get them 3D-printed. It all went perfect... with one exception. The moment the shop owner handed me the minies, Aurum's slipped though his fingers and fell to the ground, resulting with the bard losing his head and parts of his guitar. We searched and searched, but never found them! So, the next time I went to the shop to get the replacement-Aurum-mini, here' s how I found him. For his own protection.
I hope you liked this journey back to the past! I don't know when I'll post the actual next part of the story, but I do hope it'll be with the next scheduled update (i.e. Monday).
See you then!
Take care and be well!

An important disclaimer: Mary Windfiddle's story is my notes from a D&D game turned into a narrative. All the worldbuilding and NPC encounters belong to our DM, and all the actions of the other main characters (Aurum, Bruno and Agatha) belong to my co-players. My contribution to the story is only everything Mary-related (actions, reactions, inner thoughts), as well as the writing itself.
