I loved that this was the entry for the Halloween Contest!
My favourite bit is "Dreams misunderstood, Nightmares procured". You have a great way to create a vision in my head with a short poem, I think that's pretty amazing :D

Thank you. The goal is to paint with words to make an image. Be it in poems or rping.



An example of my notes vs dm notes with Fist

all got to the pub Fist gave two barrels of wiskey to the bar kep then Mothur went up and defaiced the room with Goblin teeth everybody told their backstory a rope try to murder an elf Fist said something stupid so excused herself to do her ritual someone catches the dumb clerics of Mr.Mess which blew a whistel to have koolaid go threw the wall there Mothur face eatting to find out about where the scout is Fist returns to loot the dead and hide the dead in a shack insearch for the scot Fist starts wideling eyes into a stick while we all try to attack a shadow Fist says stupid thing someone face palms and Fist wideles a nose they find the runes kill the shadow scout Fist adds the hair from the scarecrow they find Mr.Mess home that encourages evil thoughts Fist comments on beautiful cheeks of maskes person

Mr.Mess introduces self Fist loves the yaoi lips, Mr.Mess opens mouth sending out dark vestagles out of his mouth and Fist is in awe of his beauty shouting, You're beautiful" Mr.Mess offers a deal to everybody Fist being an idoit is annoying so puts gravatanious force that Fist takes as massage making orgasmic noises

Mr.Mess destroys the stick telling everybody about the orchristartor and that is bad guy and Krystal is a very good dragon lady with one of the group saying yes and signing in blood that needs to be burn for the contract to be agreed on for the magic ring

so the group is wanting to help take down the orchristartor just not agreeing to Mr.Mess because only has value to the one person that says yes

the dm notes

Players find themselves in a small village/hamlet, known as: "Mid-Day Haven"
They spend a brief period introducing themselves to one another, while consuming cheap ale.
After a short while, a magical rope makes his entrance─ falling from the ceiling unto Jushins
shoulders. A slight commotion is causes, as Fist is uneasy by the sudden and unannounced
entrance of the "snake".

The magical rope announces to Jushin, though the use of telepathy;
"I mean you no harm, and I am here to offer my aid."
Shortly afterward, Morthar ambles upstairs to a room, to which
he then proceeds to desecrate by some grueling ritual involving
[Goblin Teeth], and his own blood.

Moving forward a couple minutes; Morthar and Raizel are standing outside of the tavern, and
Fist is off north─ performing a ritual of hers own near the old oak tree.

While Morthar is stretching in the sunlight, he overhears the twisted plans of the hoods
from behind the stables─ Irritated, Morthar walks over and questions their motives.
The hoods realize they've been found out, and intend to flee; however Morthar thinks
fast, pulling out his [Signal Whistle].

Axion and Jushin are still inside speaking among themselves and with the innkeeper
when suddenly─ Axion being a Hound Archon, hears a peircing call...
Axion bursts through the wall in the direction of the whistle, knocking two of the
three hooded figures to the ground, as the wall that "was" between them explodes
into splinters and shards of wood.

The party quickly binds, and hold the three of the figures hostage─ all the while
the innkeeper is babbling about "how he needed a new window in the tavern anyways..."
Morthar and Raizel quickly interrogate and dispatch two of the assassins, while Axion;
who intends on simply incapacitating the third, boops him "gently" with his staff.

It works, Axion quickly sends the hostage into a slumber, while he gently brings
down his staff ontop of the assassins head with the brunt of roughly 260 lbs of
force in a fellswoop.

Having learned of "The Messenger" a scout who delivers information to and from
"The Organizer" the party heads west towards where they were told to find the scout.
The party ran into numerous entities in the shadows, none of which they were able to
capture. As they were quite simply a distraction planted by a skilled illusionist.

The party then continues forward; eventually reaching the old temple ruins,
where they encounter an ominious and dark figure sitting among a mass of bones and bodies.
They then proceed to question the man, assuming him to be the messenger─ however
they have actually encountered Mephistopheles, lord of trickery and deception.

He is annoyed by Fist, for complimenting him; as he is sure that it's mockery─
Mephistopheles then binds Fist to the ground using an augmented gravity orb.
He then explains that he is the reason for "The Organizers" success, however
he's growing tired of the crime syndicates leader thinking he can bribe a god,
and wishes to offer the party a contract.

Raizel is quite interested in the contract, but the rest of the party wish for
a couple days to review the terms of the contract and ensure that it's not a
trap of some kind.

The DM notes is nicely written.The picture is clearly painted.

I am taking a guess that the first part was not written by you.To be honest the first part was hard for me to read due to a lot of mistakes.

Its funny because the DM notes are the DM notes. The other was notes taken during the game by me while in play. For some further proof of this here is something I written for Fist to use.


"Fowl creature you show to be unlawful and unhonorable.
Pull others down to bring yourself up.
If you wish contest I shall give proff of your inequalities.
I welcome the test to improve.
If continue with deprity Fist shall end this insanity by blood and thunder.
Educating you by ripping out your spine,
beating a lesson into you with it.
You can join the Sters or drown in the gutter."

Character idea for a possible rp also have updated table of contents on first page so should be upto date.

vestal

The Shadows before have always of help to Velma before the event, they were only more inviting.
Before the event she was a private eye helping the downtrodden people. Didn't pay
much, but her it afford her an office along with nice blades to do her work.
She had many a blade looped on her black leather pants, along with her BC-41 she
has in thick combat boots. With a black corset and a black overcoat she blended
in the shadows. The small bit of color of red on her lips. Other then her wooden
umbrella there wasn't much to her.

After the event she took on a much darker look. Having the persona of Vestal
though most just refer to her as V. White mask ballistic, black kevlar corset
with leather covering the arms and legs. Along the arm and legs are small little
canisters and blades that hook into the sides. Throughout the outfit is a dark
ickure that connects to her hand. Her hands are completely black. From her hand
can see dark black lines that go along her leather covered arms.

The black lines themselves connect her control over the shadows. The event allows
Vestal to become apart of the shadows, and use them to create illusions. Often
how dark or light the black lines are on her arms is to indicate how much of it
she is using. It varies from being able to fuse into the shadows themselves to
using the shadows of an object. Such as pulling the shadow of a bullet to cause
damage. With the shadow of the object acting much like a bullet and can be stop
in the same way as a bullet. Even able to project sound and images out of the
shadows. Through with them the sound or images can be destroyed quite easily.

Most of what she can do legally to help others she does as Velma as a P.I.
While on things not legal Vestal does. The only real difference is Velma
charges cash, while Vestal to cost for helping is to be apart of her
network. Each person helped has received an ultra violet card with V
that is only visible in ultraviolet light. What Vestral needs they
answer to in exchange when they paint a V with an ! on a wall.
The short hand if one needs it she helps for the same fair trade.

True and with notes you try to do for the sake of retaining information rather then tell a thing. Most start out as a mess anyways. For example here is what I have for a poem I am working on based on Eden

Eden plants the seed of life
LIKE YOU ALL HAVENT DISTURBED THE PEACE BEFORE
its like the seed of destruction has been sown then grown to dark form to control others
what may have been peaceful has grown fruits of daggers to strike at other
will the justice burn down such evils?
or will the ire fan the flames to burn down all
truth been bogart brought bedlam instead

which is just collection of ideas right now without any form right now.

First draft with the poem

An unfinished line between heaven and hell
Know not if past bring ire flames to burn down all
Matron poisons the patron
What aids now ills
Can't speak, but can kill

Eden plants the seed of life
cut into the brain
rats from below ready a bite
fright conspiracy central chats

its too late lets see what happens
seed of destruction has been sown
multiples of me that is not thee
Confusion leads open a flong
be good be kind, never wrong

Disturb the peace
For something in reach
fuck them up fam
regardless if damn

Well since apperently I won 3rd place on best writer, and still haven't figured out how to improve Eden poem. So here are some wild magic surges I have written for Scratticus.

by God's providence target is found by a pope that is coking on a rope

for each skill check the target says "I'll take two", and rolls twice but must take the second roll. if the target fails to say must roll five times and take the lowest for forgetting of Fifth

The better for target, And the worse for you, the target is able to swap a contested roll so that target are the victor by King James shake

holloa boys come by the target ringing bells shouting "HOLLOA! God save the King!" right in the target's ear before running into nearest NPC and do the same in their ear before leaving to repeat to some sorry sod

boglin, a rubber looking creature with two arms that seems to slide along the ground fallows the target around spouting out words about British imperialism being the best that can only be stop by lighting it on fire to watch it burn

the target starts to see a fox in the corner of there eye everywhere target goes, unable to get a good look at it and only leaving when target engages in rebellious actions giving the target a +1 on actions the dm deems rebellious for 24 hours

when targeted by muskets or anything sending a propelled object at the target will always survive with at least one health proving that their faith the target falling before bullets ran out is faulty

Valerie's Benediction the target finds a message that has been placed on them by some person without their knowledge that reads " I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you. " giving the target +1 inspiration till the next long rest if the target can place this on another person (NPC or another player) without their knowledge that person gains the +1 inspiration as well

the target on charisma checks will gain a +1 for every v they can successfully say during the check (a sentence said before or after the roll is determined by DM) to be cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose.

eye for an eye : when target blinded by self or by other the target must roll at disadvantages but every damage target received the source of the damage receives equal to target

a magical creature of goo shows up casting a magical spell on the area that causes all in the area to only speak in numbers till one says the number the DM is thinking of(if prefer roll instead roll 1d10) the creature who says the number receives a kiss on the cheek by the goo and now is immune form poisons till next long rest along with everybody is able to speak as they regularly do

to give is to receive, that whatever target is given freely away comes back doubled in some way for example target gives a gold coin to a beggar somehow finds two gold coins in a pocket somehow

by daylight and moonlight, in search of love by daylight will gain +1 in all checks that involve with flirting only during the day; when fighting evil by moonlight will gain +1 against evil aligned creatures only during the night

patron of hope, after a failed roll the spirt of a little blue fish goes around the target's head saying, "Its ok just keep swimming you can do it" that does so until the next successful roll. if the target continues to rolls unsuccessful will gain a +1 so they aren't discouraged till they roll successful

Rat 20, every time the target rolls a 20(or equal to that in that game) the target summon a familiar creature that is a rat that the target can command

huey emotions, when the target feels an emotion the target has the color of the emotion radiate an aura that the hue of the color is the one associated with emotion the target feels or wishes to feel if they can not express emotions. such as anger would be an aura of red hue, blue hue for sadness, green would be for envy, ect.

Thanks though I do not get why. If you like the magic surges here is some more.

clip clops; the target shoes or whatever the target is wearing on their feet transform into flat soles made of soft leather base and horse hooves held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap of wool known as a toe thong that passes between the first and second toes and across all the toes. Wherever the target moves the sound hooves hitting the ground much like a horse.

Illumi-not-anymore, the target has light that comes from their mouth for 12 hours that must roll a d100 every time the mouth is open if 0-50 the light radiates magic, but has no magical powers effect anything from light 60 to 70 a small fire can be seen singeing clothing or whatever the light touches but no damage 70 to 80 the light has effect of 1d10 fire damage 80 to 95 has effect of radiant damage of 1d8 95 to 99 has effect of 2d8 + target's Charisma modifier of radiant damage 100 the light Disintegrate 2d6 points if whatever the light touches has a fortitude save of 15 or higher but if fails takes 20d6 If this damage reduces the creature or object to 0 or fewer hit points, it is entirely disintegrated.

Mal

In from the creases does it creep
every so silent in the deep
ever in shadows
Every hiss on the street
every in breath doth it creep.

From the tick to the tock
Form the crib that rocks
From the bowels the crock

Along every line in wait
Its hunger never sate
Breath the only abate

wonder of what spend
was it all for not
when soul bought

small a lot
