Daniel BellingradtWhile publishing <a href="https://historians.social/tags/monsters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monsters</a> has had a prognostic tradition in early modern Europe, and prints with <a href="https://historians.social/tags/beasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beasts</a> or deformed living beings is a genre of the then printing industries, this wonder of the sea is a bit special: the textual warning of the animal is addressing the literate public of 1616 Europe. God is delivering a message, in written form, on fish skin, delivered with war weapons.And as such godly (fish) warnings were rare, the audience in 1616 was interested in this heavenly message.

Everyone at school calls me their "Wild Woman," thus my @WildWomanOfFellWoods handle. I'm becoming used to that because it's true. I've lived amongst <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/wolves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wolves</a> since I was 7 with the Blue Feathers pack, so I'll be posting lots of <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/wolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wolf</a> spark renders, like the one of Mother Wolf below. (Read the ALT text.) She's the third white wolf in that role because people live longer. I <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/hunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hunt</a> with <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/knives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knives</a>, but am learning <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/archery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archery</a> because I'm not yet a provider for the pack. I can't run as fast as they can, so I use my <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/knife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knife</a> once they've brought down the prey. My <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gift</a> is befriending <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/beasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beasts</a>. I can speak with them and they become smarter. I'm not sure if the effect is just on those beasts I've met, or if it spreads. If you've noticed wolves being smarter or more friendly to people, please private message me! If you want to. Not trying to impose. This goes with red <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dragons</a>. I befriended the one all over the news who burnt up the farm—and, no, she wasn't going to burn up the capital! She sneezed. Next to a grain silo. 😅 Nevertheless, if another shows up and turns out friendly, let me know! Sorry. I don't have any <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/dragon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dragon</a> pictures. You can ask me about dragons, though. I also do <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/modeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#modeling</a>, so you've probably seen me in a magazine. Yeah. I'm that <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/model" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#model</a>. I won't post pictures, though, because I'd have to CW. But you can ask about that.

Full Moon StorytellingThunder Monkeys and Other Remarkable Beasts for Your D&D CampaignHow magic interacts with the world is often a defining space in Dungeons & Dragons. In the Forgotten Realms magic, whether arcane or divine, exists as 5th edition defines it. In Eberron magic is instead something that is common, fueling the themes of steampunk and noir with orcs and elves. Dark Sun goes the opposite direction. Magic there is not just limited. Magic continues the ecological disaster that mars the world.In the World of the Everflow magic burst forth onto the world in two awakenings. The first, explored mostly through short fiction and table narration gave the Kin (People of Love) a single cantrip, all of them. The second awakening brought the ability to cast spells to certain Kin and saw the return of the Ken (People of Knowledge) and Kon (People of Technology) to the shores of the Six Kingdoms.As my worldspace, and the associated tales continuing to develop, the thought popped into my head “What happened to the animals during the Awakening?” Throughout known time the Kin were always bonded with companions (<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2015/08/08/animal-companion-rules/" target="_blank">initial rules</a>). With the bond between beast and person so strong, did some beasts get small magics?The answer is yes.And so the Thunder Monkey became a reality in the World of the Everflow.<a href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pexels-photo-2213575.jpeg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a>Photo by Arindam Raha on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/selective-focus-photo-of-brown-monkey-2213575/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pexels.com</a>The mechanics are fairly simple. The Thunder Monkey can cast <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/thunderclap" target="_blank">Thunderclap</a> once per short rest. They can also use the first bullet point from <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/thaumaturgy" target="_blank">Thaumaturgy</a>a t will. All other stats are like the basic version of a <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/baboon" target="_blank">baboon</a> with minor tweaks that you feel are appropriate. This spectacular beast is rare within the Six Kingdoms, mostly in Douad, a Mediterranean feeling space.A character, player or non-player, with a Thunder Monkey becomes more notable and memorable. Combining mundane beasts with other cantrips can lead to other fun combinations.<ul><li>Lightning Lure Bugs are giant wasps without a stinger, but instead the ability to cast Lightning Lure and Dancing Lights making them useful in a conflict or able to help light the darkness.</li><li>Flapping Foxes are fennec foxes that cast Gust with the breeze originating from their big ears.</li><li>Pointers are tracking dogs able to cast True Strike as they direct their companion where the target is.</li><li>Slinging Spiners are porcupines that cast Sword Burst flinging more spines than their body carries.</li><li>Fixin’ Friends are spiders that cast Mending, using their silk to fix what is broken.</li><li>Tidings Birds are pigeons with the ability to cast Encode Thoughts, carrying messages throughout the town.</li><li>Savage Mousers are housecats with the ability to cast Primal Savagery, their normal painful non-damaging bites now capable of felling a threat.</li></ul>These remarkable companions are practically limitless. The damage dealing cantrips (probably Guidance and True Strike as well) at just 1 per short rest will not create any sort of imbalance on any world. Others can be more frequent, likely at 2 or 3 ties a short rest, so that they are used but do not overshadow the players.Every <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells?filter-class=0&filter-level=0&filter-search=" target="_blank">cantrip</a> and every <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters?filter-type=2&filter-search=&filter-cr-min=&filter-cr-max=&filter-armor-class-min=&filter-armor-class-max=&filter-average-hp-min=&filter-average-hp-max=&filter-is-legendary=&filter-is-mythic=&filter-has-lair=" target="_blank">beast</a> is an opportunity to expand the stories you are telling through the use of magic. This expands the 1,000 times a thousands tales available at the table.What will be the first remarkable beast your character meets?<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/tag/animal-companion/" target="_blank">#AnimalCompanion</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/tag/beasts/" target="_blank">#beasts</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/tag/cantrips/" target="_blank">#cantrips</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/tag/dnd/" target="_blank">#DnD</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/tag/dungeons-and-dragons/" target="_blank">#DungeonsAndDragons</a>
