Starry-Eyed

A little something about one of my D&D characters, an owlin Circle of Stars druid named Gienah.

contents: character expecting to die, dehydration, amnesia.

~~~

He opened his eyes to the endless starry sky above him. There were sensations and stimuli - dull, pulsating pain in his head and back, gentle sloshing of water, a hard wooden surface beneath him - but he was too captivated by the sky to pay attention to any of them, his eyes following the stars, searching for paths between them to create constellations. He couldn’t help but smile, which then turned into almost tearing up from how overwhelmed he was by the beauty and grandness of the sky.

When he took a deep breath, the pain intensified, snapping him back to his senses and making him wince. Why was he in pain?

Where was he?

#whump #whump writing #dehydration whump #amnesia whump #d&d whump #yes here you have a druid using Shillelagh on some oars #deliberately ignoring the fact that Shillelagh requires material components #when i lamented that fact to a friend she said that since an oar is a piece of wood it can become a spontaneous druidic focus #which is amazing #Gienah is level 6 right now and he's a lot of fun to play #granted druids can be overwhelming but the fact that i mostly use wildshape for starry form and don't do summons makes everything easier #circle of stars is a blast #this isn't my best work but i enjoyed writing it #and that's what matters #my writing #gienah the owlin druid
