If you want to read the whole thing in one go, it’s easiest on my site.
(These are “newest first”, so start at the end and work backwards.)

Throughout October, I’ll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here’s the prompts I’ll be using.

You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.


Over the years, DnD sources have offered many different scripts for the celestial alphabet. I’m using a pretty old one here, largely because I like how it looks.

The glyphs translate to “ZETEMA” - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.

    Since I know people will want it, here’s the glyph set I’m using for celestial.

      I copied Konsi’s first two poses from professional baseball photographs. I love how exaggerated baseball throws are.

      OK that’s really funny, I didn’t understand why it resembles Hebrew and this is very very close (letter names are even the same).

      Ignoring the table and reading it in Yiddish (which uses the same letters as in Hebrew with different pronunciation) this read closely to “oh my god“ (“omeged” but close enough)

      Edit: reading right to left, of course.

      Zetema?

      Edit: I realize that E, I and O are the same, so it could be zitoma or something

      Edit 2: Yo I got it right!

      I thought it looked a lot like Hebrew. You did write it backwards though. And it’s out of order in this picture too, ז is the 7th letter in the Hebrew alphabet but here it’s listed as the last

        I believe this “celestial alphabet” was based loosely on hebrew yes. They’ve more recently replaced it with their own glyphs, but also not officially published them all so… (shrug) - I just liked the shapes.

          It’s actually pretty close to Hebrew with sharper lines and a bunch of added dots and flourishes

    Cheers to the captain, who is yelling “No surrender!” as his comrades charge a smol priestess and her pet rabbit.

    His level of extra is commendable.

    I just assumed she was casting something to transform Razira back into her own body so she could lay the smack down.

      She is - but you might as well cast a useful spell when you do that…

              From her goblin clan originally.

              She’s just had a lot of high level healing magic applied to her during her adventuring ties, so little nips like that tend to heal out. (The DMG actually has some guidelines for what levels of magic can heal various forms of minor permanent marks like scarring etc - it’s interesting)

                  My DMG is on DnDB so it doesn’t have page numbers - I’m getting it from the “lingering injuries” table in chapter 9.

      But dropping a polymorph doesnt require casting. Just to stop concentrating

        But why wouldn’t you cast something?
        It’s a two-fer!

      Just read the title of your post and realized you were saying that she was casting a different spell, which ended her rabbit transformation spell.

      Instead of spamming Xs, use spoiler tags. When making a post, those little buttons above the text, it’s the triangle (second from the right). Like so:

      Spoiler Description

      Spoilered Text and Images

      Or click the 3 dots under this and “View Source” to see how it’s done.

    Well it has to be a bonus action cleric spell with concentration because throwing an object is an action, so the options are: Shield of Faith, Holy Weapon or Spirit Shroud. She’s not holding a weapon, and it doesn’t look like she’s summoning spirits of the dead, so I’m going to go with she is casting Shield of Faith.

      In this case, I did pick a spell that’s a full action. Assume for mechanical accuracy that Konsi’s not really “throwing” the rabbit, but the rabbit is jumping, which is what’s really giving the distance.

      Throwing a polymorphed rabbit would be interaction with an object because I love my players and their creativity

      I think the community’s server is having issues. I don’t really know enough about Lemmy to diagnose this.

      Here’s the direct link to the image in my webspace.

    My guess is spirit guardians. With the 3 attackers coming over, it would be a shame if they had to take damage to get close enough to attack.

      Not this specifically, no… but they’re both pretty seasoned adventurers.
