This comic is part of an ongoing story that might make more sense with full context.

If you want to read the whole thing in one go, it's easiest on my site.
(These are "newest first", so start at the end and work backwards.)

Throughout October, I'll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here's the prompts I'll be using.

You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.

Over the years, DnD sources have offered many different scripts for the celestial alphabet. I'm using a pretty old one here, largely because I like how it looks.

The glyphs translate to "ZETEMA" - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.

Sorry for all the people who wanted to see the rabbit go to town.

Its ok, I will not hop to conclusion. Im sure youre doing it furr a good reason.

That's ok, the fact that she maintains the angry eyes while in flight made up for it.

Since I know people will want it, here's the glyph set I'm using for celestial.

I copied Konsi's first two poses from professional baseball photographs. I love how exaggerated baseball throws are.

[–] Avalon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I love the dedication and work you put into this!

[–] degen@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

I like how the first one is basically just a Jojo pose lol

OK that's really funny, I didn't understand why it resembles Hebrew and this is very very close (letter names are even the same).

Ignoring the table and reading it in Yiddish (which uses the same letters as in Hebrew with different pronunciation) this read closely to “oh my god“ ("omeged" but close enough)

Edit: reading right to left, of course.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Zetema?

Edit: I realize that E, I and O are the same, so it could be zitoma or something

Edit 2: Yo I got it right!

I thought it looked a lot like Hebrew. You did write it backwards though. And it's out of order in this picture too, ז is the 7th letter in the Hebrew alphabet but here it's listed as the last

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe this "celestial alphabet" was based loosely on hebrew yes. They've more recently replaced it with their own glyphs, but also not officially published them all so... (shrug) - I just liked the shapes.

[–] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago

It's actually pretty close to Hebrew with sharper lines and a bunch of added dots and flourishes

[–] LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch 17 points 2 years ago

This shit is quality, and the art is getting noticeably better as it goes on.

Cheers to the captain, who is yelling "No surrender!" as his comrades charge a smol priestess and her pet rabbit.

His level of extra is commendable.

I have watched this several times and just now notice that the henchman repeating the gah is a kenku and this is hilarious :)

You have fucked up now

Well it has to be a bonus action cleric spell with concentration because throwing an object is an action, so the options are: Shield of Faith, Holy Weapon or Spirit Shroud. She's not holding a weapon, and it doesn't look like she's summoning spirits of the dead, so I'm going to go with she is casting Shield of Faith.

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

In this case, I did pick a spell that's a full action. Assume for mechanical accuracy that Konsi's not really "throwing" the rabbit, but the rabbit is jumping, which is what's really giving the distance.

The most powerful spell component: a flexible GM

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 years ago

In this case, even more powerful and deadly: Artistic License

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

Throwing a polymorphed rabbit would be interaction with an object because I love my players and their creativity

Is something wrong with the pictrs database? I can't see the image... ☹️

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago

I think the community's server is having issues. I don't really know enough about Lemmy to diagnose this.

Here's the direct link to the image in my webspace.

[–] Shhalahr@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pulled off so expertly. Have they done this before?

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 years ago

Not this specifically, no... but they're both pretty seasoned adventurers.

[–] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

My guess is spirit guardians. With the 3 attackers coming over, it would be a shame if they had to take damage to get close enough to attack.
