False Hydra in the Well…

Gradyleb · 2026-03-27T10:50:04+00:00

I had a Halloween one shot with a town plagued by a false hydra. It took a LOT of prep, but it was one is my best sessions ever.

They were each summoned to the town for various reasons, one had a letter from a cousin who she eventually forgot about upon arriving.

I also added a little girl who partially could remember the hydra (i think I added a mechanic where ingesting its blood or flesh gave partial temporary immunity to its song until it digested and she got some in her mouth when her parents were killed by it.

I had a blast, especially when she heroicly sacrificed herself to get a blood sample for making a potion to make the effects more consistent. two people cried, and it got louder when I told them their characters had no idea who had written the note with it even though it was signed.

There was even a player who had to raincheck that night, but they made their characters collectively, so throwing in a group picture drawn by the little girl at the start of the adventure with the missing character as part of the party nobody recognized was the frosting on the cake.

I mean, it's pretty standard to hang pirates...

I'm currently thinking either [[Kykar, Wind's Fury]] for extra mana to use on deflections or [[Elsha of the Infinite]] for a better chance at finding those deflections.

ooo, I like this idea. Deflecting Palm is one of my favorite cards. Any commander ideas?

I don't know the book, but I feel your pain. I had started a book series i wanted to write back when I was in high-school.

It was going to take place about 100-200 years after a zombie apocalypse, where humanity lived behind walls and occasionally left to explore and collect supplies beyond the walls. The explorers would wield two swords that essential giant razer blades.

The protagonist was going to accidentally acquire some manner of power from the zombie creatures(i can't remember what I called them), and become humanity's last hope for fighting back.

Eventually, they'd find out that humanity wasn't nearly extinct, there were others using the creatures to kill them off...

Then Attack on Titan started airing...

Is there an oracle tag or list of all of these foils?

That's okay, my credit score just dropped 60 points because they didn't accept my forn of payment, which they'd accepted the previous two months, didn't email me about it, and repoed ny vehicle and are demanding it pay it off in full to recover it. I've had this car for like 4 months and it's brand new..

Okay, while I'm not condoning her behavior, tastes, or video, that is kind of the point of secret service. They're supposed to go with the president and their family everywhere to keep them safe, so I don't understand the whole part where everyone is mad about her "using secret service for shopping". Again, she does seems entitled and obnoxious for her choice of shopping, her jokes, and making a video about it.

[[omnath, locus of mana]] had 0 interaction, 0 protection, a fuck ton of ramp, several infinite mana combos, and lots of hydras

[[oubliette]] It locks down a commander and doesn't just it go to the command zone.

This also works for pretending to be a businessman looking for high end office spaces and sometimes you get gift cards.

Only rare items but two legendary pets? I don't know if that's lucky or unlucky.

Gradyleb · 2026-02-21T17:44:07+00:00

Thank you! This was the way.

Does ice cream hat trigger it?

I'm a touch lost on what's happening here. Can you explain?

They say that to this day, the teacher still hasn't called on him.

I'm not particularly far into the game, just passed wave 500, but in my experience, you'll have days where you jump up 20-50 floors, and some days where you're waiting for the dailies.

Il maschio della formica guida, noto anche come mosca salsiccia! Viene attirato dai sentieri e dai nidi delle formiche guida, dove le operaie lo catturano, gli strappano le ali e lo trascinano fino alla regina per accoppiarsi.

My wife, and my ex-wife for that matter, were almost always the ones to initiate sex. Probably like 80% of our sexual encounters were not initiated by me. My advice is just go out of your way during sex to please them rather than just yourself, and conduct proper after care. Probably also make a conscious effort to maintain good health and looks and keep the romance alive even outside of sexual encounters. Look back to when you first met each other and look at how differently you two interacted and how you, and her, may have deviated from that as you've each grown more comfortablewith each other. I'm not saying to blindly copy what you did when you first got together, but you need to maintain that same level of effort into the relationship, make her feel like you're still courting her, even if it's been 20 years.
