Dungeons and Dragons

Let your mind wander to realms of mystical adventure, bloody skirmishes and the odd attractive tavern maid. you are of cause thinking of the pitifully nerdy (yet highly amusing) tabletop game that is Dungeons and Dragons. Recently i (notice the rebellious lack of capitalisation) have started playing D&D with a group of my friends i met when i was home-ed (Except for Ella, but we won't mention her), and i thought it might be a decent idea to make graphical satire of the events that unfolded in our quests. like when Cillian (played by Ben) decided he would try to shoot into a melee combat in which i was (as a dwarf paladin) trying to bludgeon a goblin like creature to death with two handed hammer.


Naturally he managed to roll a critical miss and his arrow ended up making itself all warm and snuggly in the flesh of my shoulder ¬_¬
And yes that's me by the way.


Another source of amusement was that Ella (who plays as a female Minotaur axe-maiden) who, according to Ben, apparently owns a quite dashing pair of pink underpants with equine imagery and the word "wild" printed on them in several places. This naturally lead to a rather lazy Photoshop.

The final nugget of amusement that day was the culmination of myself and Ben's efforts to wind up Tenn (who you may remember from my "is murder kosher?" post) by repeatedly referring to her only as "Tennifphlump". At the end of our days questing, our partly settled down on the outskirts of a "goblin thing" infested forest to rest. After a quick whisper into the dungeon master's ear i was allowed to take a sneak roll against Tenn. which i subsequently passed and so was awoken the next mourning to Tenn's crys of dismay as she realised some cheeky dwarf had infiltrated her tent in the middle of the night and embroidered her leather armour (and underpants) with the words "Tennifphlump The Tall". :P

Amusingly after posting this Photoshop on her Facebook-wall most of her friends and family thought it was a genuine picture of her dressing up.
