Octaria Pulnassea's notes: 3 - Black and Purple Corals

Fishermen brought back a dozen young bodies of extremely deformed and diseased flying winged snakes, specimens sought after for the catalyzing properties of their blood. The sick snakes have their body overtaken by

Black and Purple Corals

 
 
 
 
 
Every snake has been overtaken by both corals, in different regions of their bodies. Where the corals meet, the skin is fragile and crumbles to the touch.

 
 
The poison glands of diseased snakes are crystallized, taking the form of black or purple gems, according to the coral that has invaded the section of the body where the glands are located.
 

 

 

The flying winged snakes are a demanded resource, and from reports of the fisherman hunting them on the high seas, where snakes gather to hunt, they seem to be migrating to one of the large isle of the south.
This isle is flanked by two coral colonies, which are regarded as sacred, so it is forbidden to hunt or kill anything alive on its surroundings. The flying winged snakes seem to have found a safe haven in these corals, but as fishermen know, snakes hunt in the deep, and they must have come into close contact with the corals...
From the isle’s old laws the fishermen have gathered that the growth of the black or purple coral on the skin of a person is a sign of bad behavior and wicked sorcery, which may mean that these corals are able to live on human skin as they do on snake hide.

 

Alchemical uses:

On contact with each other, the corals sizzle and burn, producing a black, bright flame.
If they are ground separately and then a handful of each is mixed together, they produce an explosion of black fire the size of a small room.

When the crystallized poison glands are cracked open, a thick juice of the same color is released.
If a small vial of thick black and purple gland juice are mixed, they create a strong fluorescent acid, which can pierce a finger-thick layer of gold.

If any of the crystallized poison glands are ingested by an animal, a coral of the same color begins to grow on the animal's skin, transforming it completely into a coral within three days.

Octaria Pulnassea's notes: 6 - Mylgadilac

Imagen
  A strange and huge purple furry sloth on the outskirts of a mountain village, the locals call it Mylgadilac   The creature is larger than a large brown bear , its fur is thick, shiny and purple, it sparks in the light, giving the impression of a dark purple starry sky. It dwells on a wide cave , which from a distance appears to be covered with pin cushion moss of the same purple color as its fur.     Their eyes are incandescent in nature and look, to the naked eye, like two spheres of hot, glowing gold. Their claws are long and thick as a child’s arm , they look as polished silver , although whether they are of this material is hard to tell from a distance.     There is not much that can be found out about the creature because approaching it seems impossible and only an inspection from afar is feasible. The Mylgadilac has caught the attention of the townsfolk for the strange events that surround it and its cave. If one gets closer than one hund...

Octaria Pulnassea's notes: 4 - Ciafilo

Imagen
  A live example of a very elusive specimen, a large one-eyed bird, known by the locals of the village where it was captured as Ciafilo           The Ciafilo is a large black and white bird , about the size of a medium-sized dog, with one yellow eye and an astounding crown of feathers that react to sound.   All its feathers have an almost metallic coloration, which gives them certain reflective quality. They are incredibly durable and flexible and even fire does not damage them.   Its beak is of a copper like material, and has six small holes from which a golden steam seems to emanate.     The people of the far western village, where the Ciafilo was captured, say that the bird is responsible for the strange behavior displayed by the inhabitants of their region in winter . According to them the bird, fleeing from the cold, is attracted by the warmth of the town, and in its presence, a golden mist begins to overtake the streets....

Let's start with introductions. I'm Luciano Dalbert, nice to meet you all, I'm from Chile and my mother tongue is spanish, so you may find some horrible mistakes in my writing that will make you shudder with disgust. So I will try to have things to say that go beyond my writing. What I want to write about here are all the strange, or perhaps naive, ideas about ttrpg that are crawling (or buzzing may be more accurate) in my mind. But I don't have any particularly deep sociological or philosophical take on games, nor do I have the vast ttrpg experience that many others have and are exploring in their own amazing blogs. So I'll start easy, with something you might be interested in, and with an approach that I can keep myself accountable in doing so. I'm going to start with creatures, so here is the pitch:  Creatures once every two weeks, explored through the voice of an alchemist, Octaria Pulnassea. The creatures will be dissected and studied by Octaria. So in Octa...
