schneefink: River walking among trees, from "Safe" (Parker smiling before jumping off a buil)
More D&D developments from the last two sessions: We interrogated a soldier and got a lot of information about the time-travel ritual taking place one month from now, and the huge army assembling. (Against my protest, other party members then killed our captive.) We fought dragons, encountered undead and fought one of them, and just found out that we'll have to deal with shapeshifters that lay eggs like parasitic wasps, i.e. inside their victim's body, and that in a mountain where causality doesn't apply. Fun! I of course remembered the One Piece Alabasta arc and insisted we all agree on secret signs to make sure we recognize each other if shapeshifters try to imitate one of us. I don't even know if they're the kind of shapeshifters that can do that, but better safe than sorry.

Most of our party woke up with no personal memories, so it's been fun trying to develop personalities, just seeing where it takes us. For example my character was the victim of a charm-spell early on, found out, and that's only cemented her dislike for anyone trying to tell her what to do (including the god who animated her in the first place, presumably for a reason she doesn't know.) My character is loyal to those who help her, but holds grudges and gets frustrated quickly. She's generally nice to people and willing to help, but if it comes down to it self-preservation trumps that. She's curious, and she thinks tricks and finesse are more interesting than huge swords and fireballs (though she found out that fireballs can be very handy.) We talked about alignments today and I agreed with our DM that she's currently Chaotic Good.
She's also one of the few party members without a specialized class yet, she's still "generic spellcaster." Picking things is hard! Choosing new spells is difficult enough at every new level.

Next time: explore the mountain full of undead and possibly shapeshifters to discover and recover the magical jewel hidden within. Let's see which surprises come next.
