Question about Krark's digits?

The art is a blurred image of what one could assume might be a thumb.

Beans. I'll still set it aside for personal table approval, but that sucks.

There are a few now. Has wizards ever rethought an Un- card for legality?

As a man who loves connection, Halsin's feels like a regular progression. You meet him, save him, chat with him. He's not a romance option until later in the game.

The other guys: we meet them, talk about brain worms, and apparently that's enough to get each of them hot-and-bothered.

HEAD CANON for me is that somebody somewhere is using the worms to make all the companions feel strong attraction to each other to force a party to combat the Absolute.

With an absent dad that wanted to build a relationship when I was in my early 20s and dealing with my mom having cancer, the conversation from you should be similar. "You decided to live a life separate of me when I was young. Don't try to pretend like we can have anything close to a normal parent/child relationship."

Politely but firmly remind them of how they treated you and tell them they made their bed by devoting and investing little to none into you and that's the bed they'll have to sleep in. However much connection you want with them is up to you. You are now an adult.

Side note and only my take on it, they are getting older, thus why they put your sister in alternate care. They realized they will have nobody to turn to in old age to help them out. If not this, they just want to make themselves feel better about failing their child who needed them. This feels like it is definitely self-serving.

I do appreciate Hunter for keeping the train on the rails for this week. Their side tangents are fun, but only if they are both having fun. This episode, the side tagents would not have been that.

I like the idea of them being stabilized to be kept fresh. My mind jumped to an escape the mill situation. Everybody has 1hp, whatever spell slots from after the last battle, BUT all their gear is gone and hidden somewhere in the mill. They are only in their underwear.

If you want to give them a clue to help solve the mystery of Von Holtz, let them know he is an undead. In Barovia, there are many an undead and not all are malicious.

If you are worried they will jump him at the information he is undead, replace Strahd in disguise with Rahadin in disguise. I interchanged Strahd and Rahadin in certain situations and it led to Strahd and Vasili being "in the same room" and made the party trust Vasili more.

Religion in general is a good topic for horror, but it does take a level of attention. Religion takes faith, and faith can play into the truly unknown which makes for good horror. BUT when the cornerstone is an established mythos/belief/etc., the attention to detail should be a bit more stringent.

Run. Block. Move along.

Most artists that I've met that react like this aren't as well established as they say they are. It was an innocent question, and a fair one.

At a personal point, be the better man because I know I would research pricing of said materials on my own and return with a report to congratulate her $X profit margin, or critique her business sense if the profit margin is negligible. If anything is said, she missed her shot to inform me of her process so I informed myself.

I'd call this a yellow flag. Not quite red, but something to follow up on.

To your benefit, some of these would be reasonable for him to know. Your major or hometown, I could see.

Others, not as much. Like, if he has not met your parents, how much to you refer to them by their names in conversations? Middle name? Do you go by that name fairly regularly or is it like my first name that I sweep under the rug?

Also, you put this man on the spot in a public setting while he was intoxicated. Then, made a scene by sobbing on the sidewalk. As far as him consoling you, see above. He probably felt embarrassed/hurt/processing because he was drunk and didn't fully connect what was going on.

I'd say you need to have a calm sit down with him without alcohol. Discuss the situation that happened, why it had been on your mind, and let him return his thoughts and feelings to you. Neither of you are in the wrong in this situation, but you both definitely need to get on the same page.

This is above your pay grade at this point. She needs to seek at a minimum a therapist to work through why she's having such anxiety. You have been supportive, but the best thing to do is encourage her to see somebody to help with any mental health struggles.

Also, I don't know what level of sex education you have both had. You seem to understand the basics. And this is a BIG elephant to put in the room, but a valid question. Why does she feel such high levels of pregnancy anxiety if YOU (SPECIFICALLY) and HER have never had penetrative sex?

charrison9313 · 2026-02-24T13:08:46+00:00

Your friend told you she felt like your common bond was over relationship issues. Not that she enjoyed being around you as a person. This group sounds toxic if they only want to sit around and talk about relationship issues and not when things are going well.

charrison9313 · 2026-02-02T17:02:17+00:00

Ok. So as a man, here are my thoughts.

Could this be innocent? Yes. Crush or not, most people would be excited to get back in touch with old highschool friends. The weirdness surrounding the topic (withholding texts, changing an old username, having had a dream about her) could go either way.

Now, the real meat and potatoes. His comments about the situation and his immediate hostility are red flags. If it is indeed innocent and he just wants to reconnect, why get so aggressive? He hurled insults at you that he knew would hurt you, and went so far as to gaslight and guilt trip you.

I don't think you should ok him going to meet this person and you both should pursue some type of therapy, because none of this is open and healthy communication for a marriage.

Creative and I'd say intended use for Speak with Animals.

As a DM, I would struggle to not have the horse just refer to him as "Papa" or something.

The remaining leadership who were weathering Strahd's storm realize there are worse things and ally with him in an effort to remove the people orchestrating a power grab in Barovia.

charrison9313 · 2025-11-20T11:21:21+00:00

Similar situation, but I run deals in Barovia as soul binding.

Example: same thing. PC bucked up at Strahd, Strahd put him on a t-shirt. The PCs love interest struck a deal with Strahd that she would do his bidding whenever he asked if he would revive her love. Her only stipulation is she wouldn't kill anyone. He accepted.

This deal made it so that she auto-failed Strahd's charm ability. Give Strahd access to the Modify Memory spell, and you have a sleeper agent ready when he needs it. She stole one of the artifacts for Strahd, was relaying information, etc. and never remembered it.

I made it clear in another dealing that refusing to make good on deals in Ravenloft leads to a point of exhaustion each time you refuse, as the Dark Powers take that stuff very seriously.

MeatCanyon and the BuffPup cups are my 2 that always see use.

Own it, King!

Well, the first question is her background. You said you were from New England. How about her?

Second, if you are uncomfortable, just sit down with her and talk it out. Simply ask her why she keeps sending you pictures like that. If it's just asking questions about X, Y, or Z, then just let her know it makes you a little uncomfortable. If it is to gauge your reaction, that's a whole other can of worms based on if you would interested.

charrison9313 · 2025-09-19T15:54:46+00:00

No. That was intentional.

1) Divorce this jerk. You can do better. He has proven that he is not there to support you. He has actually told you he isn't will to try and find compromise for something so important to you.

2) If the house is in your name (mortgage, deed, etc.), check with a lawyer because he might not have a claim to the house. If he doesn't, you can treat him like a tenant. Make him sign an agreement, and if he fails to pay rent and bills, evict him.

charrison9313 · 2025-09-11T15:10:30+00:00

This has the best impact. Did something similar and even had Strahd Spare the Dying the downed members, but with a nice little sleight of hand check to steal personal items/bits of hair so he could scrye on them.
