Frankly, for all he has experienced, the scariest thing was the very real threat of being turned into an illithid.

Val'dran has lost control over circumstances before, he's lost control of his demonic side, but he could always get it back. As an illithid, as a hive mind...?

(CW- body horror, gore)
Augustine spent a very, very long time trapped in the Feywild under the service of a cruel, inventive creature who was looking for an answer.
Have you seen the movie Annihilation?
Augustine's job was to keep them alive.
He's much harder to scare now.

#RolimOC and #VincentOC went through a lot of scary shit in their lives but up there at the top has to be... dying.
Feeling darkness creep in only to end up crawling out of a grave, forever changed into vampire spawn.

#RolimOC doesn't mind sharing the house with undead things if it means he gets a roof over his head and some warmth.
If the spirits are malicious, he can deal with it.

#TavQOTD Your Tav/Durge is travelling through a dense forest and it is beginning to get dark. Fortunately, they spot what appears to be a small inn, the hearth fire radiating pleasantly from inside.

Funny though, as they approach, there doesn’t seem to be a soul around…

Do they spend the night?

#TavQOTD Scariest thing Elle has seen

Well, she’s set to take on a Tarrasque during the course of our current DnD campaign, so I’d say that 😅

Tiefling oc Elle looking to the side fearfully.

Image of a Tarrasque— large spiky creature. Said to be as large as an ancient dragon. It has a huge mouth with large sharp teeth. Long claws and massive spikes/ horns from its head down its back and tail.

Adonis 100% does cause he doesn't have a lot of awareness of scary stuff in his surroundings. He's not knowing like a Witcher. 😆 Though he wished he was.

#TavQOTD Siraan was eaten by a Froghemoth once when she was still a young cleric in training.

She was sent to support a group of Sashelan Guard while they investigated a disturbance in the waters near town, and got swallowed immediately when the monstrosity revealed itself. (1/2)

This screams some sort of fey- which doesn't bother Sekh. His patron is fey 💜 However he doesn't mind sleeping outside if the weather is fine.

If it's storming he'd be willing to risk it, but he probably wouldn't sleep much unless his patron came to watch over him.

Meliahwyl might snoop around for other signs of activity. If the fire seems supernatural, she'd probably wait until day to do more investigating. There's little reason to aggro spirits when you're about to put yourself in a vulnerable spot like sleep. She can "rough it" through the night.

I'd say he was terrified of ceremorphosis or the gith's lab because that's true, but I'll say he's terrified of gnome Illithids because that's also true and because it's funny.
Meeting those gnomes was the scariest thing that had happened in his life since his transformation. 👀

A scary tale of Vesper, when she was quite small...

Minific ~
(in Alt if images don't load.)

CW: Child in peril, child briefly wounded

(1/2)

She had wandered too far.

In the manner of a child far too enthusiastic to complete a treasure hunt, the tiny white haired girl stood alone on one of the warping ridges, clutching a nightlight frond in one hand. She had been harvesting the glowing mushrooms along with her parents, her excitement blossoming the more of the alchemical ingredient she procured. It was a particularly difficult task that required keen fingers, and her skills were getting better.

Far from the lights of home, only the bioluminescence of the fungi around her lit her perch. Otherwise, deep shadows swallowed every distance, seemingly creeping towards her like claws.

Her eyes were keen, though not nearly as keen as her parents', and being away from their side was a rarity that doused the flames of excitement with the chill of reality.

"Da? Father?" She asked the darkness.

When silence responded, she swallowed harshly, before repeating her request a little louder.

But neither voice of safety responded. Something...

else did; a deep, guttural growl, a sharp trill, and snap, like the clacking of bone on bone. She nervously backed away from the noise, and cracked nightlight frond in half. The exposed core bled a radiant azure goo, expanding her field of vision. Shakily, she held up her nightlight like a torch.

Two milky white lenses glittered like tarnished coins in the light, each the size of her fist. A gnarled beak poked through the veil of darkness, dripping crimson from some fresh kill. As it towered over the child, its twin scythe like appendages scraped along the ground, splitting small stones as it approached.

She didn't scream. She couldn't. Instead, she backed away, slowly, each breath sharp, stinging with the agony of distress. Too loud, still too loud…

Suddenly, her foot planted on top of a large mushroom shelf. She immediately whirled around and bolted, as fast as her small legs could ferry her. The beast could hear her retreat, and followed in hot pursuit. She bounded like a lamb down...

the shelves, holding the frond as she searched desperately for any sign of her parents. The shelf above her cracked, as it broke under the heft of the raptor, sending the scythe-arms bearing down upon her. She feinted to the side, and narrowly avoided a hungry blade. It instead snagged her basket, tearing the sturdy weave and sending all of her glowing harvest hurtling into the pit below.

She launched herself off of the final cap, and landed awkwardly in a gully, crushing her "torch". Coated in illuminating ooze, she stuck out like a fire in a field. More clacking, and then screeches! High pitched screams that echoed throughout the massive cavern, announcing dinner was served.

Looking around frantically while the beast tore down towards her, she quickly scrabbled on her hands and knees towards a hole in the wall. Whether abandoned or occupied, she would take the risk. She wriggled her way into the narrow corridor, the bio-luminescent stain lighting up the tunnel as her fingers grasped...
