Another 15 minutes of D&D brainstorming

I have another session coming up on Friday! I don't think my party reads my blog. If you do--STOP IT!

  • Be sure to ask if there is anything else they want to do
  • Second day of travel: have badger encounter
    • If they decide to talk to animals, make it an animal handling check of 18 to convince them not to attack. Badgers think they're invading territory. Naeris can do with advantage
  • At tower, guards are asleep outside in their bedrolls
    • The Tower of Baile is used as a way to keep watch on the sea and guide ships home. It is also used as a storehouse of certain knowledge. Typically, there are guards, lighthouse keepers, and a scholar in residence. However, this can change so you do not have a way of knowing who is here now. The granite tower gives off a certain sense of austerity and gloom, but it is not entirely unwelcoming. Three guards lay asleep at the door.
    • What they have 
      • 1 has a large brass key, 1 gp
      • 1 has a love note, 3 cp: "Nothing compares to your hands, nothing like the green-gold of your eyes. My body is filled with you for days and days. You are the mirror of the night. The violent flash of lightning. The dampness of the earth. The hollow of your armpits is my shelter. My fingers touch your blood. All my joy is to feel life spring from your flower-fountain that mine keeps to fill all the paths of my nerves which are yours."
      • 1 has shocking grasp spell scroll, 3 sp, 
    • Rune of Confusion on the door entrance: DC 15 to find, DC 15 to disable; affects all targets within 10 ft., DC 10 save or become confused for 1 hour
  • First room
    • The opening room has bear granite walls and feels cooler than expected. There is a sole window that looks out onto the sea. It is a calming effect. It must bring those who spend their time here some peace. Right now, however, the room about it sounds to be shaking and roaring.
    • Rune of Fear in front of granite door: DC 20 to find, DC 15 to disable; affects all targets within 10 ft., DC 11 save or become frightened for 30 minutes
    • Puzzle
      • There's a large granite door in the center of the room, casting a shadow. The wooden door leading to the next room or stairwell is locked. If you examine the door in the center, there is no lock, however, the shadow of the door has a lock.
      • Solution: Use a key (any key will work here) to cast a shadow, and use the key's shadow to unlock the shadow door. The door to the next room will then unlock. One of the guards has the key (DC 15 to find). Royal blood also opens the door.

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
