The Harbinger of Ferocity

Post a random fact about yourself.

Contrarily, if offered the choice, I prefer meats to sweets and fruit alike; I have no palate for either of them. If faced with the choice of only selecting from those two, I would rather choose to not eat, even if that meant fasting for an extended period. There is just something about the texture and content of the latter I cannot contend with and the pure, unchecked negatives of the former that I would rather find myself awaiting or seeking out actual food.

I feel I have an unusual reaction to incorrect information, such as during a presentation when I am often reviewing or rating another party. When I hear the speaker informing the audience make a factual error, I experience a sort of repulsion to the circumstance that is immediate and compelling, somewhere between a physical and psychic "pain". It is unpleasant, hardly harmful, but enormously distracting at the same time. The sensation can ruin the entirety of the ordeal and noticeably skews my audit of them. To date, I have met no one who has had this kind of experience and it does not arise in matters of debate; it seems intrinsically linked to objective facts and the speaker presenting wrong information, being more noticeable if the speaker is unaware of their error.

Greetings, @Evra, as seeing that you have an appreciation for those things feline, you are so welcomed to the Roleplayer Guild. I jest of course, but all the same welcome to the forum and its collection of varied writings and the personas associated with them. If you have any questions you would like answered, please do ask away here or on the forum's associated Discord.

I'm more terrified of jumping off something that's 15-20 ft high than going skydiving.

@Liv

You and I both, as I am hesitant to leap from something I am uncertain to with the height versus a situation where I know I have ample time to contend with the fall itself.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

By the time he winged, scaled vermin had managed to withdraw its frail little hand back from its slice, the hunter had emerged from the mist and was upon it. Having dispensed with his bow for the time being, drawn the great blade, and angled himself in for the attack, the next thing that followed was his step in. From behind the creature the sword fell forward in the hands of Brannor, aimed squarely at its back and with its deathly, uncanny edge leading; if the dragon's follower dared not to move or failed to do so in time, it would almost surely suffer a mortal strike. The sword was not a meager thing and by the time wilder had recovered from the swing, eyes shifting to the bloodied gash in the half-blood orc, the same that filled the air with a rich iron taste, the attention swung itself to the old man turned beast.

The roiling mist, a low flying cloud stuck now within the cave, was behind the snapping jaws of the animal who seemed to have avoided the worst of the flying monster's efforts. Brannor was not sure what exactly had happened in the interim since his first arrow, having eschewed his bow once the cloud appeared, but now it seemed in far more control than it might well have been...

Effects

Brannor drops his bow and moves twenty-five feet to assist Orchid by flanking his attacker. His attack with the greatsword is a 16 and if it gains Advantage, the bonus roll is instead lower at an 11. Assuming the greatsword strikes, it deals 11 slashing damage (10, plus a reroll of the 1 from Great Weapon Fighting for a 2 in its place). If an enemy provokes an attack of opportunity from him, he will make it against whichever target is first.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

As desired then, so it comes to one last question, is the huntsman able to slip behind the kobold fighting Orchid, going about the left side? It is but twenty-five feet of movement and a diagonal step down to do so but I wished to be certain the pillar rising to the ceiling of the cave is not somehow blocking that step or that if the creature has some sort of special ability that it is triggered by him approaching. Do let me know and that should cover the sum of questions before the post, @Hekazu.

It is a fact I too have no idea what was just said.

Jesting aside, it is a fact that I am exceptionally detail oriented and become lost to the fine tuning and mechanics of something. While a perfectionist aware perfection is unattainable, I consistently strive to involve myself in the best I can do. This, as one can gather just in passing alone, creates a circumstance where this great cat becomes attentive to things, fixated upon them, where not needed. I spend more time polishing and refining anything I do, more than I would ever need, and far beyond any expectations of others. I bring down upon myself this sense of anxiety in doing the best I can when, much to my chagrin, others skate by with not even half the time or effort involved.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

When Brannor steps out of the fog, are the kobolds fighting Torus and Orchid grounded now or still flying but within melee range, @Hekazu? I am assuming at least the one fighting Orchid is, as it was using a dagger; the other I am guessing not given the stone.

There is some particular about the visual style and narrative of this piece that accompanies it very well.

Thank you for answering these questions, @KimHanuel. I will return in due time with more, be certain of it.
