The definition of drowning - (Abe)

The Other End of the Telescope

I can see las oejas al lobo.  A certain, for the wolf is looking at me.

Two days ago I was cut down from Ned short sword at the Whitecrag camp.  My new friends left me dead a while to think about it, and I'm certain I don't like it.

Today I died twice more, as a fireball did not respect my hiding place and when I so bravely rushed out to raise the fallen Lleyash from the ground.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.  Andando con pies de plomo.  For all my swagger, I am failing.  We are foundering and sinking and unlike the others I am over my head.  Not waving but drowning. Frightening, no?

But I am a shantyman.  Still, I am of service.  This crew I was certain would fray and fail is now rallying around Lleyash in his best attempts with Hannah.  melón.  His best line tonight after an attack at the door?  "Does the danger excite you?"

Adamas did his best to help with a wet kitten.  I played a new song of inspiration and fed him one of the more potent potables: "You must be a gelatinous cube as I feel this night ends with me inside you...."  I am still unsure how she resisted.  It has never failed me, but then I am El Guapo.

Even in my failures, I have inspired these few in battle.  Exorting Lleyash to serve up a steaming load of justice and a taste of his danger cakes.  Promising Ellie that I prefer to see her succeed than loot her body, but I will do so very gently.   Perhaps even a little motif of courage has helped.  

I will pull myself to the service and learn to swim.  I will practice Anders' handwriting for some forging fun in the future.  I will go seek out that Black Blade elf to see what I might learn and dust off some more proven romantibits in the process

*I must be a warlock.  Just give me a short rest and I'm ready for the next encounter.

Perhaps these, like me,  lose something in translation. 


Tomorrow we seek the Sea Ghost.  Tonight will be for love!  Or at least lullabies.   As I often said to cheers in my peformance as the shanto-speaking warrior McLean in "Die with Difficulty" - Yipyo Kaye Muthafucka.

A Letter from Abejunio and You're Welcome

  Hello, fellow Wizlards.   It is I, the crooner of Faer’uner.   The singer with the thinger.   We’re still workshopping. I was sitting down last night to another meal with Maura on the Chaser – some rabbit stew – and could not stop the laughing.   Remember when Ellie and Lleyash squared off against a room full of delightful but rabid zombie critters?   Perhaps right after finding my long lost daughter, this was a high point.   And I wasn’t even there.   Just like I wasn’t there for Maura, but that’s another story (that I’ll be publishing in Baldur’s Gate Press “Deadbeat or Funky Beat: the Price of Stardom”). We’d arrived at Firewatch Isle after a few days sail from Lleyash’s ancestral home.   I made a point to dive back down to take the skull of his father as well as Oceanus’ mom, because it looked cool and we needed answers.   Letting the boys say goodbye to their parents was nice.   I guess.   They told us little besides they were sorry for being bad dads, he loved Lleyash’s mom

OBX 2024

  The 2024 OBX sojourn was marked by an epic showdown against a legendary foe.  It was also marked by the mighty Wizlards battling the evil forces of COVID using an impressive arsenal of pluck and hand sanitizer. As it turns out, COVID is a CR23 BBEG who is resistant to both pluck and sanitizer.  At the time of this post, 3 out of 5 Wizlards now recommend COVID to their patients who chew gum. Still, we came and saw and surprisingly conquered.  While all of our sports teams were disappointments, this session will long be remembered as a fittingly heroic climax to an amazing adventure almost three years in the making.  We fought horny blue dragons and gargantuan kraken.  Some of us ate salad on only three of us died in the final battle.  These two are probably unrelated. Abejunio El Guapo, Faer'uns mightiest and hairest of bards, was sadly ineffective in the showdown with the evil forces of Jom Bovi.  He spent much of The fight on the deck of the Kraken Chaser, immobilized by Bovi

Archmage Halstead: Blasts, Pasts, and Castes

After resting the night in the old mountain mystery of Lilly’s the party teleported back to Ascension Isle and as they faded away saw a blue dragon erupting from the floor of the place where Lilly’s constructs were. They ended up outside one of the pirate’s houses and while stealthing around the house they saw what looked like mechanical constructs and the Duke searching the upper level for them. After some debate over whether to get back to the ship or to eliminate the threat they chose to engage the duke and the automatons. The battle was fought, and the foe was eliminated without anyone escaping to alert the rest of the town. They overheard the duke and his first mate discussing before the battle that Jon Bovi was going to get the horse and circle the island to find the intruder’s ship. An ingenious plan was hatched instead of retreating to the ship that they would teleport inside the steel horse and blow up the powder magazine to incapacitate the ship. Leyash teleported inside the
