That is a crazy splatter. Never seen one quite like it.

I thought those kinds of numbers were just a myth. Like dry land.

Today’s also the first birthday of Rat Siege! 10/10 is a cool day to release on haha

I’m sure if you found me here by way of the music, it was because of this album haha. So if you’re new, grab it for free or anything at all.

It’s basically shitty Watership Down (but what more could you want?)

#MÖRKTOBER day 9: THORN

"A year ago Franglein planted roses at the base of Melvung’s monolith. They soak up the blood and the star stuff, and they sprout thorns as thick and black as a broken thumb. Once a week Franglein comes to harvest them."

MÖRKTOBER day 9: Thorn

THE HARVESTER
The stars fall, and Melvung swallows them, and as the dawn breaks he bleeds onto the ground.
A year ago Franglein planted roses at the base of Melvung’s monolith. They soak up the blood and the star stuff, and they sprout thorns as thick and black as a broken thumb. Once a week Franglein comes to harvest them.
She wears gloves lined with lead and wool. Even still, the thorns whisper to her in languages that predate the world. She sells them to anyone willing to pay; merceneries seeking weapons that wound the soul, occultists who grind them into powder, the dying who hope to draw one more breath before the void takes them.
She knows where three other wizards are bound, and will tell you their locations for 500 silver each.

Starblood thorn
d4 damage. On a hit, Test Presence DR14 or hear the voices from beyond the stars and become distracted (−2 to all rolls) for d6 rounds.
When ground and consumed, restores d6 HP but permanently reduces Strength by 1. The user’s blood glows faintly in darkness.

Franglein the Harvester
HP 7 Leather −2
Morale 8 Pruning blade d6

art: Illustration of a crooked and toothless hag creature wearing only a cloak and gloves. She smiles eerily and holds a small scythe in one hand an a wicker basket with roses in the other.
Carries 2d6 thorns at any given time.

High contrast black and yellow artwork showing an abstract dripping or melting figure. Vertical streaks and splatters of yellow paint create a haunting, deteriorating effect against the black background.

Yellow textured post with black text displaying a poem by Edward Rathke. The poem describes vivid imagery including "In the shadow of the tree / Rose the man of power's three," references to flame, wind, earth rising from the deep, and "See the mage brim with power / Now high atop his tower." Abstract scratchy artwork appears in the bottom right corner. The background has a distressed, grainy texture throughout.

The wizard lingers before the mirror, where warm faces smile from a life he abandoned. Power gave him spells, but the glass shows the price - love left behind, forever unreachable through all his arcane might.
