We had a game, even

My in-person gaming group actually met in person for a D&D one-shot in which I generated a character who is a whole-ass seventh level single-class character (I never do this, because D&D drives me bonkers with the constraints of its class system). I mean, they're an arcane trickster, so rogue with minor magic, but...

I built Izar on Heroforge, so that's what they look like.

Izar is a retired adventurer who basically went "screw this, I'm quitting to become an accountant" and then wound up investigating these horrible murders in the town where they settled and, well, the "I speak six languages and can therefore read your notes, and talk to this person who doesn't have the local language, just the trade pidgin" thing went well for a bit, but then the monsters attacked and 'I will one-shot the monster that other party members need to hit several times to take down' became the order of the day. Because when the sneak attack works, it works Thoroughly.

(Best dramatic moment for me: paladin retreating down the hallway attacked by demonic-looking batlike things, winds up next to the door in the room where Izar is; Izar steps around the bear that was the third party member and just amiably stabs over the paladin's shoulder to one-shot one of the little nasties. Given they did not appear to have a sword when they went in there this was maybe a little surprising.)

And of course this being D&D we did not have to worry about the whole question of "how to get a cave bear out of a small second-story room" because the space is arbitrarily defined as allowing him to leave, unlike when Danny was stuck in a third-floor apartment because he accidentally an entire bear. ;)

(Catboy bard is actually being reasonably chill at the moment, hence the lack of rambly posts about him, but but is he having a week.)

But on that note, loose ends(  are being cut. )

In non-gaming news I disapprove of conjunctivitis.
