So, my character I’ve wanted to roll for about 2 years now finally makes his debut in my friend’s campaign. He’s a dragonborn bard of lore with an 18 INT and what’s basically a Batman Utility Belt made by Kevin McCallister. In my first session, he joined the party wanting to charter their ship. They asked him to participate in a tournament with them for a festival.

Many things happened, but perhaps the best was the second monster the party had to fight. As my DM is about to reveal the monster, she starts cracking up.

“Cody, I want you to know I planned this encounter back in August.” (It’s early January at the time)

Me: “Oh fun.”

Out comes a behir. In Draconic, it says “mmm, dragon. I haven’t had that in ages.”

Svelahmadeec (me): “And you won’t be having it today, either!”

The behir goes first on initiative. It hits with its wrap, squeeze, and bite, immediately taking “‘Deec” down to 0 HP, swallowing him whole like K in MIB. The party then collectively goes “o shit SAVE THE GREENHORN” and rushes to kill and bisect the behir before 'Deec can die from being digested.

The tournament was for a festival, so they had arrangements to keep people from dying. As Svelahmadeec is healed by clerics, he sits up and just says “alright, I stand corrected.”

Thats great lol

I also love how the DM had the foresight to make sure even with a KO a player won't lose their character to a death so early on. It keeps it lighthearted but still lets them go all out.

Putting forward what you didn’t have

Memes & Comedy

I never did share the full version of this comic here (arguably, that was for the better).  Based on a true story.

The Lackadaisy Animated Film Kickstarter is live, but almost over!  Just a few days left to reach our mini-comic dub stretch goal!

A quiet smile. Thank you for reading, I hope you’re enjoying the story so far, especially right now as the characters take a moment for themselves. If you would like to support Curse of the Eel and me, you can sign up for my tipjar through Patreon, or you can order my printed volumes of Curse of the Eel from my store here! Each purchase of an Eel book comes with a free sketch of Eel eating some new food, and it’s usually eating it poorly XD

Please like, share, and subscribe if you’re enjoying the comic! You can also find me on social medias like Insta, Twitta, and Tumbla at @jorgesantiagojr!

Everytime i see Connie she has a different expression and she's gone from super serial and sad to more lighthearted as the years go on so I can't wait to finally order your books and see what Eel is all about
