Commander Holly and ProJared respectivly
Finally saw episode 115 of Dice Camera Action and I squeed at the little Paultin/Evelyn moment where she shows him the battleaxe and he looks at her not the axe and says “beautiful.”
I so believe he was talking about Evelyn, not the axe.
So Simon is the only person alive who saw Evelyn beat the Soulmonger. I wonder if he’ll tell them? I wonder how they’ll react.
Spoilers for Cuse of Strahd and Dice Camera Action-
So, last night my party arrived at the Tser Pool Vistani Camp and met Madam Ava. They stayed passed midnight and with perfect timing the druid asked what happened to the other adventurers who had come to Barovia.
Que the March of the dead on their way to Ravenloft with the Waffle Crew (sans Strix) at the head of the procession. I described each of them among a few other random spectors and my players didn’t catch on.
Later, after their card reading they knew that one of the Treasures was hidden at the Crossroads where they’d seen the Druid ganging on the way to the camp.
The card that revealed this was the “Thief”.
The party went back to the crossroads and the Rogue started to read the tombstones and rolled a Nat 20.
I started to read out loud the names on the tombstones: Diath Woodrow, Paultin Seppa, and Evelyn Marthain.
(My otherhalf squealed a tiny but when i said them but he kept quiet)
Then I described a single word beneath each name to represytheir crimes. Paultin and Evelyn had “Treason”, Diath had “Thief”.
They took the hint and respectfully dug up the grave finding the Tome of Strahd inside Diaths clothes. (The Rogue took his amethyst so I’m plotting Strix hunting him down for it.)
As they left theDruid said last rites over Diath’s body and called out to him, rolling a Nat 20 on charisma. He looked up and hovering over him was the sad lost ghost of Diath.
Diath saw that the druid had the book and knodded his blessing and understanding to someone else using it against Strahd. Then he faded away into the mists, and that’s where I ended the session.
Isn’t anyone else concerned that The C Team are just planning on doing something with the rings? I mean, two parts of Evelyn’s soul are in there granting the rings their power. The odds of those pieces being ok after they finish the ritual or whatever, probably very slim.
Yet everyone is ok with this? I’m still mad at Diath for not demanding the rings return. He literally sold Evelyn’s soul, not knowing what impact that might have on her in the near future. He just assumed she’d be ok with it.
I really, really hope they don’t lose her for good because of those rings.
So yesterday’s game was, interesting to say the least.
After getting the Tome of Strahd from Diath’s grave, at the crossroad gallows. The Warlock cast Find Familiar and summoned the Imp, Samiel, who was the Imp his Grandfather had as a familiar when the PC was a child.
She was sassy and out spoken. Loves to drop the F-bomb and takes every opportunity to do exactly what she’s told but in a way her master does not expect. The players loved her and she was so much fun to play.
The first thing she did was call out her master for being stupid enough to get himself brought to Barovia.
When he asked how she knew this place she dropped the revelation that his Grandfather was born here and got out at great cost. She even went as far as to say he still had family in Vallaki.
While this was going on the Druid saw a figure in the trees watching them. He could only make out a black pointed hat and a Crescent staff, before the figure yelped and turned into a cloud.
This was Strix.
The party moved on, saying goodbye to Ismark and taking Ireena on towards Vallaki.
They’d already received an invitation to dinner from Strahd back at Death House so his carriage was waiting for them. They debated but decided not to go because of Ireena.
They passed through the gates and camped in a clearing where they found a ruined Varda wagon and the Rogue had flashbacks of his family being murdered by Van Rickton here. (I’ve adopted Paultin’s history for him as he had no backstory.) his reaction was amazing! He played out the horror and pain his character felt and got drunk by the campfire.
They found Mr, Shambleface in the wreckage and he kept hold of it.
The next day the party saw Bonegrinder on thehill and the Hag Morgatha making her way towards it. They’d seen her back in Barovia village tormenting a boy who got away. They’d also taken the deed to the mill from the Durst family back in Death House. The Warlock was very put out that there were “squatters” in his Mill.
Ireena, persuaded to party to take the hag out and they followed her to the mill.
This is where it all went to hell!
They left the horses on the road and spent so long bickering in the road that Bella, one of the Hag daughters saw them and came to the door.
They pretended to want to buy Dreampastries and went inside.
The Druid pretended to leave and cast invisibility on himself. He snuck up to the second level but bumped into the mother hag who threw flour on him so she could see him. She cast hold person and called her other daughter down from the third floor. They started to torture the druid while the rest of the party was oblivious downstairs.
The rest of the party bought two dream pastries then asked about potions so Bella called for her mother who came downstairs leaving the other daughter up with the druid.
Ireena tried to stealth around and attack the mother hag but was caught in the act.
They all rolled initiative and the Warlock loudly tells the Hags that Ireena is Strahd’s betrothed and that the party was his guests.
The hags immediately wanted Ireena from then on. She ended up unconscious at the bottom of the stairs with the mother hag dragging her to the upper floors.
Lightening bolt was cast and the lower floor caught fire. The druid finally broke free and joined the fight but it was going very badly for the party. That’s when the Warlock called out for Strahd to come and save Ireena.
He didn’t expect it to work but he’d accepted some of the Dark Powers from the vampire secretly in the night and so Strahd heard and was on his way.
In the meantime the rogue heard children screaming on the upper floors and started to run up to try and save them.
The druid decided they should all run and when he went outside he looked up and saw Strahd arriving on his Nightmare.
Strahd walks intk the mill and sees Ireena barely alive being dragged by Morgatha who has her blood all over her and has clearly done the most damage to her.
While the Hags grovelled Strahd picked Ireena up and looked to the Warlock suggesting he leave.
Strahd then cast fireball into the bottom floor of the Mill at 6th level, doing 48 points of damage and turning the first floor into an inferno.
Strahd walkedback to his Nightmare with Ireena in his arms and like the Badass he is, didn’t turn to look at the explosion.
The druid stood his ground and said “I know it’s useless to fight you, but you know I have to try!”
Strahd was kinda impressed and the druid cast tremors hoping to stall him but the Nightmare just started to fly ignoring the effect.
Behind them the mill started to collapse. One of the burning hags ran out screaming only to be kicked back inside this-is-sparta style by the Warlock just as the mill crumbled around them.
The rogue was on the third floor trying to get two children out of the crates. He got them both out and they were climbing down a rope as the tower started to fall. The little boy failed his check and fell to his death.
The rogue and girl held on as long as they could but had to jump 20ft to the ground. The girl died on impact.
The Warlock was buried under the rubble and Strahd was flying away with Ireena.
The druid shouted “WAKE UP” and cast healing word on Ireena who woke and plunged her dagger up under Strahd’s chin, up through his tongue and pallet. She took out his speech and spell casting and used his shock to leap from the nightmare.
Strahd vanished and I couldn’t bloody believe that not only were the party still alive, but Ireena was still with them!
They dug the Warlock out and made a shelter out of the rubble where they made camp.
They decided to take the children’s bodies with them in the hope that the abbot at St Markovia’s abbey could resurrect them.
During the night Strix snuck into the camp and took Diath’s Amethyst out of the Rogue’s pack. They all woke the next morning to Owlbear tracks.
The party carried on to Vallaki and the Warlock cast Friends on the guards to get them to let the party in. He was immediately arrested and taken to the stocks while the rest of the party hid in the stockyard and found Rictavio’s wagon.
The druid now has made ithis mission to havd the armoured sabre-tooth tiger for a pet even though the smell of the vistani rogue makes it go savage.
Meanwhile at ghe stocks, a boy theew a rock at the warlock who told their Imp to scare the child. She immediately went over and stung the child in the neck killing him instantly.
That was where i ended the session.
Kinda proud of my players.
Spoilers DCA Ep 124
Sooo I’m probably looking too much into this but...
Jarlaxle strikes me as very smart and very specific in what he says.
The way he kept referring to Evelyn as “Lady” made me think that, it wasn’t so much to be charming, as it was him indicating that he knows EVERYTHING about the Wafflecrew.
I mean, it seemed like none of the others knew that Evelyn had the title “Lady” until the fireside episode 120 at PAX.
Given Jarlaxle’s relationship with Diath I’m thinking that this free and pointed use of Evelyn’s title was also a veiled threat to Diath.
I know everything, try me.
Anyone else obsessing a teensy bit over the Evelyn, Paultin ship fallout after that last episode?
Million Reasons by Lady GaGa started playing on my ipod and all I could think about was the song being Evelyn finally moving on.
This ship is gona sink so hard unless Paultin finally steps up!!
You know you’re obsessed with Dice Camera Action when you dream that Evelyn wakes up in time to see Jarlaxle throwing her winged boots and prosthetic leg of the ship and into the sea. Claiming it’s for her own good and so that she will be his forever.
Only it wasn’t the characters i was seeing but the normal DCA setup with poor Anna sobbing and all the players getting mad at Chris.
I now live in genuine fear that one day this will happen.
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Dice Camera Action Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Paultin/Evelyn Characters: Paultin Seppa, Evelyn Marthain Summary:
Sooo following on the PAX episode with Evelyn and Jarlaxle I had a dream that he turned on Evelyn.
After watching the latest on stream episode and suffering through a very long and quiet work day I decided the dream deserved a fanfic.
So here’s my “what if” AU of the Ring of Winter fallout.
I want the Evelyn/Paultin ship to sail so bad! Evelyn’s loneliness is so heartbreaking.
I used to be like that. I didn’t meet my otherhalf til I was 26, I’d watched everyone around me pair off and experience something I never had and when I finally did I realised I’d never really understood it either.
There were times when someone would come along with a kind word or smile and maybe flirt abit and I’d know they were bad news but part of me thought my loneliness was my fault and so I should go along with these people. It got me into some very bad situations I wasn’t ready for. Mybest friend had to interject herself more than once to keep me from making huge mistakes and I am forever grateful for that.
The Wafflecrew need to take a good look at Evelyn and recognise the Todd’s, Omin’s and Jarlaxle’s for what they really are. Our Angel Warrior needs a serious wall of protection around her until Paultin either admits his feelings, or someone comes along without an agenda who just truely loves her.
I made Vox Machina plus Matt Mercer as ponies so naturally I have to do The Wafflecrew too! Strix is first. Her hat and robes are in progress but so far so good!
Diath pony done!
Paultin Pony is done!
Working on a teeny murderbot to go with Paultin pony
Simon and his Dad.
After that last episode i just had to write a short fic on a tiny bit of fallout from the Jarlaxle/Evelyn/Paultin moment.

Evelyn Marthain, Paladin of Lathander. She needs armour and boots still but I wanted to show off her Lathander boon marks first.
