#HELLBREAKERS still trying to figure out ethran, drew one of those charming moments where winn expects nothing and is shocked when they receive kindness they don't need to beg for
A grayscale drawing; one person scratches the back of their neck. They say, "So, I'm sorry for getting your breakfast just to ask a favor, but... would you mind sparring with Valerra every few days while I'm away? I just--"

The person next to them, eating a doughnut, says, "Sure. What are you drilling her on?"

Winn shocked face. "oh. really? uh, thank you."

#HELLBREAKERS friendly spar with my homie ethran (still figuring out how to draw them)
A grayscale drawing of two people sparring; one kicks the legs out from under the other.The person who kicked out the other's legs leans down, offering them a hand up.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) Valerra's Very Accurate Review of Winn's Friends
VALERRA'S REVIEW OF WINN'S FRIENDS 

Polliver: Very reliable, very scammable
Serado: Unscammable, the only person less reliable than Winn
Hilde: Clearly reliable, unscammableValerra: ... and then there's this guy. 

WINN: unreliable, too easy to scam

Valerra: It's not even fun, they just... give me stuff. Clearly they need someone to look out for them, or who knows what they'd give away!

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) u know it's bad for you when the urchin you're trying to take care of is asking people to take care of YOU
A grayscale drawing. A child seriously puts their hand on a halfling man’s shoulder. They say, “Polliver?” He answers, “yes?” They continue, “can you look out for winn? While you’re out of town?” With a very weary expression: “they need all the help they can get.”

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) poor nixa is trying her fucking best to understand what the Fuck is going on with Winn + their friend + the child that hangs around them
A grayscale image of three people cleaning up a graveyard. The text labels them: FORMER LOVER THEIR EX-NAVY SAILOR FRIEND (?) (THEIR?) 12 YEAR OLD CHILDA woman stands looking at this. The text box notes she’s trying to figure out the situation. She asks, “so… are you guys… partners?”They all stars at her blankly. The sailor says, “Partners…?” The former lover says, “huh? No…?” The child just looks.A closeup of the woman’s face. She says, oh.” While WHAT IS HAPPENING? floats over her face.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) thinking about winn and valera's festival day nonstop. her worrying about whether they can afford the things they're giving her... ;_;
A child poses dramatically while a person with piecemeal armor observes. They say, “I like the, uh, ears. Is it supposed to be a wolf? Cute.”

The child responds, “NO, it’s FIERCE. It’s a goblin bat!”A child in a floppy hood eats a pretzel and says with her mouth full, “… so, yeah, Xerra gave me the coat. I’ve been getting them to gimme free breads and stuff, too!”

Winn, nodding which a narrator box points to them and says, “asked xerra to feed her while they were gone.”A child in a cape with big floppy ears thinks, “can they REALLY afford this? Their armor’s crap and they quit their dock job…” while beside her a person in not very good armor thinks, “what do kids like…? What did I like? What do I like…”The kid turns, saying, “I’m good, actually.”

The person in armor looks dubious but says, “okay.”

#HELLBREAKERS (backstory) meeting roswinn vass, then & now
A person reaches down saying, "great bout!" As they offer her a hand up, they say, "you've got a quick lunge! Good way to use that reach of yours. Wanna go again?" To the side, the other person looks confused.As they stand talking, it's clear the person in dark armor is shorter. They're chatting, "I got so excited by the armor and the emblem I assumed you were from vigil (I've never gotten to see one of them in action...) but then you took a chelaxian kind of stance so | guess I was wrong— sorry! Oh! I forgot. Names." They lift their visor.They stand with their helm under their arm, cheerful and without a scar over their nose. They say, " I'm Roswinn. Nice to meet you."
A narrator box says, 4725 - 9 years later." They stand in ruined armor, with ragged hair and a scar over the bridge of their nose they say, "Hi, Nixa."

#HELLBREAKERS (backstory) meeting roswinn vass, then & now
A person nervously says, "um, sure. Yeah."
One person claps the other on the armored shoulder.
"Great! So, you're a sword kinda girl? Of course you are with that emblem, what am I saying..."
They stand facing off in the courtyard.
The person thinks, okay, breathe. It's not about winning it's just practice.The person steels herself. I've trained hard, it's just a friendly bout. I can do this.The person is flat on her back. The label text says
"exactly 12 seconds later." Her opponent stands over her.She levers herself up on her elbows. She's thinking,
"shit. Shit. Shit. I should have seen that coming the blow and the fall. It's fine. It's fine. I'll just pick myself back up—"

4716 - isger (provincial militia)
A grayscale picture of a woman in armor standing under armches and watching a training bout. A close up of her, and she thinks, "... this is it."The woman thinks, a similar face hovering behind hers.
"I might be wearing my mother's armor— —- but I'm here on my own merits not as Fatima's daughter. I'll be judged by my own accomplishments...... assuming | have any."The person before her stands, confident. Text labels them: posture, confidence, expensive kit. Conclusoon: professional mercenary. They ask, "Well? You up for it?"
She thinks, nervously, Fuck. My mother's armor. They think I'm a fellow professional, not a new recruit. But if I decline, I'l look like a coward! She says, "ah... well.."The person before her stands, confident. Text labels them: posture, confidence, expensive kit. Conclusoon: professional mercenary. They ask, "Well? You up for it?"

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) in which serado observes a conversation & hears an interesting word (1/3)
A crowded tavern. A tiefling man faces away from the viewer. he thinks, “who is that woman? Why do I know her face? Where did I meet here…?”The man remembers. “Ah, that’s right.” He thinks of a ballroom he can see only from behind the archway. He was not invited. The woman is Helia Belunne, matriarch of house Belunne. He finishes his drink, thinking. “What’s the matriarch of a chelaxian noble house doing in a tavern in the middle of Isger? S’pose it’s up to ol’ serado to figure it out.”The man walks outside. He goes behind the tavern. He takes off his belt scarf, and tucks it around his neck, as it shimmers with magic and transforms his appearance to an ordinary human man. A descriptive box notes, “masquerade scarf - allows the wearer to assume an illusory disguise for an hour once per day.” He thinks, “damn useful, this thing is.”Back in the tavern which is noisy and crowded. The two women are still talking. The man leans against a pillar. He thinks, Damn, can’t hear a thing over this racket.

One woman stands, and puts something on the table.

A close view of her hand obscuring it. He thinks, what the hells is that?!

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) more like “beanbag-toss breakers” am I right winn’s extremely bad at festival games, it turns out
A child excitedly throws a beanbag while a person in armor looks on, smiling faintly.The person in armor winds up to throw the beanbag while the child cheers.The backing board for the beanbag toss is broken. A lady in an apron smiles, saying, “oh my… you’re quite a strong one aren’t you…”

The person in armor, abashed, says, “sorry…”

The lady comments, “I see where she gets it from!”

The person in armor says, “huh?”

The child observes with stars floating around their head. “Woah…”

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) sibling behavior: maximum
A neat little man says, “… as for WHY I need a house here when the homestead is two days walk—“

A woman sitting beside him says, “half a day.

The man slams his fists comically against the table. “Dammit Ferny, you’ve always walked faster than me, there’s no need to rub it in!”

She laughs, saying “sorry, sorry.”

(tag for actual excessive gore) #HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) last session winn one-hit an enemy as they cast the spell to oversell how badly hurt they were. except they just. died.
A person with bird feet is bisected by someone cutting into them with a polearm as they are trying to cast a spell. The damage happening to them is far greater than the swing would do on its own

#HELLBREAKERS [ -1 reputation in SARINGALLOW ]
A grayscale comic. A human walks by as a halfling ponders. The human says, “hey, xerra. If a kid comes by and says she knows me— can you feed her? While we’re out on a mission.”

The halfling responds: “oh, sure! But um… I didn’t know that you had a child.”
The human stares blankly and says, “oh. No. I don’t.”

The halfling stares back, saying, “oh.”The human and halfling stare at each other, in silence.The halfling thinks frantically, but logically: “Did I say something wrong? Are they not old enough to have a child? (I can't keep track of human ages...) But why are they asking me to feed a kid that's not theirs...?
Unless they're just embarrassed…?”

The human thinks, in a chaotic screed that doesn’t fit on the page, “Does Xerra think I have a fucking child?! I don't! I'm just teaching her to spar! And giving her boots for winter! And making sure she has food!”

i have ALWAYS loved poison egg from PF1e as a spell bc it's so fucking silly and niche, but I didn't realize it was a GRANTED SPELL from NORGORBER i didn't realize it had lore? egg lore? i read this in Gods & Magic (1e) the other day and i NEED everyone to know "egg boy" the norgorberite insult
Poisoned Egg
School transmutation; Level Asn 1, Brd 1, Clr 1, Sor/Wiz 1
(Norgorber)
Casting
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Effect
Range touch
Target 1 egg
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw none (object); Spell Resistance no (object)
Description
You transform the contents of a normal egg (such as a
chicken egg) into a single dose of small centipede poison
(injury DC 11, 1d2 Dex/1d2 Dex). The poison reverts to a
normal egg at the end of the spell, even if the secondary
damage has not occurred (the reverted egg substance is
harmless unless the poisoned creature is vulnerable to
eggs). The egg may be raw or cooked but must be whole
and not empty when you cast the spell.
Careless would-be poisoners who leave egg on their
weapons soon find it tends to clog sheaths and eventually
begins to smell rotten; in the church, calling someone an
“egg boy” is a minor insult suggesting a lack of foresight
or regard for consequences.
