Aquarii Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Campaign: 2022 Adventure I: Bloodlines Staggering out of the mist, Aquarii stumbled to a large boulder to catch her breath. Glancing to her wounded right shoulder she kicked herself for not choosing better armour; black veins were already spider-webbing their way across her skin from their point of origin - the bite of a vampire. She could already feel the pangs of hunger festering in the pit of her stomach, and her soul. Ripping a piece of her cloak, she quickly bandaged her wound. She knew she had to act quickly; finding the right materials and learning the spell of a healing potion. If the hunger were to overcome her and she fed, she would be cursed to the life of a Dhampir. Or worse, she could die and become a vampire spawn - a slave to the bidding of the dark lord that bit her. Happy New Year everyone!! Welcome to my little chaotic corner of the multiverse. For those of you who are new, welcome, and buckle up! Things get a little crazy around around these parts. For those of you who have been following along, welcome back! (when did I start using so many exclamation points?) There have been a lot of changes in my life since I joined NF five years ago, and especially a lot of changes over the last two years. Because of that, I have decided to respawn my character to level 1 (and actually start using a leveling system for once). Still keeping the structure of my stats from last year (which you can find in my Battle Log), but I wanted to add some points and leveling, because my stats increase soooo slowwwwwlllyyyy. I need something to keep me motivated along the way. So, I am experimenting with some stuff. Anyway, as you can tell from the exposition above, I need to save my IRL RPG from imminent peril. So let's dive into it. Don't Feed If you feed, you will begin your transition to a Dhampir, robbing you of your elven heritage and cursing you with eternal hunger. No sweets (XP 30) Dry January (XP 30) Penalties Miss 1 = -2 Hit Points Miss 4 total = Become a Dhampir Keep up Your Strength If you die, you become a vampire spawn, which binds you to the one that bit you. Work out at least 2x/week (10XP/workout) Walk for 15min at least 2x/week (10XP/walk) Penalties Miss 1 = Roll 1d2 Odd = No hit, no XP Even = 1 hit, no XP Miss 8 = Die and become a Vampire Spawn Heal Your Wound Create and administer a healing potion to cure the bite and set yourself free of the vampire's clutches. Roll 1d6 per day (5XP/day) 6 - Pick any 5 - Listen to music for 10 min 4 - Draw/color for 10 min 3 - Stretch for 10 min 2 - Journal for 10 min 1 - Meditate for 10 min Penalties Miss 1 = Roll 1d2 Odd = No hit, no XP Even = 1 hit, no XP Miss 15 = Infection takes over your mind and you become a Dhampir Hit Points Starting Hit Points = 10 If HP reaches zero, rest to replenish. Rest = No Social Media for the weekend Bonus XP for completing challenge at >90% = 100XP Total XP Possible = 435 7 2 Quote Chaotic-Neutral, Elven Bladesinger (Apprentice): Level 1 Current Stats: STR 11 || DEX 11 || CON 12 || INT 15 || WIS 15 || CHA 12 Goal Stats: STR 14 || DEX 17+ || CON 14 || INT 18+ || WIS 18+ || CHA 14 "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily; to not dare is to lose one's self". - Søren Kierkegaard Link to comment

I feel like I often swing between making mine too complicated, and making mine so simple that I get bored, lol. My challenge looks fairly complicated because of all the stats and stuff, but when you take away the stats it is pretty simple: no sugar or alcohol, workout and walk twice a week, do one stress-management technique per day.

I got alcohol poisoning a couple weeks ago and have barely had any drinks since then, and even before that, I don't drink every night. So, I don't think it has anything to do with the alcohol. I don't usually have a lot of sugar, but I tend to have a lot more than usual around the holidays. So, I like to use January to reset my tastebuds (it takes like two or three weeks, I think? I can't remember what that study said, lol) and break the habit of reaching for sugar, so I can quickly transition back to my baseline after the holidays. And, I already love 100% dark chocolate, so no worries. 23 hours ago, Rurik Harrgath said: You've come up with my new favorite challenge!

I have decided to introduce a leveling system (hence the XP), and rest my character back to Level 1. I am excited to see where I can take it. And thanks for the encouragement. As fun as it could potentially be to play a dhampir character, I don't feel like story-building an arc for that atm, lol.

Aquarii Posted January 1 Author Report Share Posted January 1 So, I realized I forgot to add a couple things to my challenge. I don't have specific daily goals for them, but they will be going on in the background. I am working on a Health Coach Certification (for fun) and a Salesforce Admin Certification (for work). I am assigning each of them 1000 XP upon completion. I hope to have both of them completed by the end of the next challenge. 5 Quote Chaotic-Neutral, Elven Bladesinger (Apprentice): Level 1 Current Stats: STR 11 || DEX 11 || CON 12 || INT 15 || WIS 15 || CHA 12 Goal Stats: STR 14 || DEX 17+ || CON 14 || INT 18+ || WIS 18+ || CHA 14 "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily; to not dare is to lose one's self". - Søren Kierkegaard Link to comment

Aquarii Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it is already 2022. Can I just say, starting the first day of the year hangover-free is way better than the alternative I am officially starting most of my challenge tomorrow, but I started my no sugar and dry-January goals this past Monday, since I was off work. I think I have made it to the other side of the sugar withdrawal. Though I did have my blood-sugar tank (at least I think that is what happened) mid-workout yesterday (and got to enjoy looking at the world from the floor for 15 min until I could peel myself off of it and stand again, lol). It happens on occasion, though I thought I fueled enough to avoid it. I think it was probably a combination of going hard (went up in weights I was moving) and the change in diet still throwing my body for a bit of a loop. So there was that. I go back to work on Monday after two weeks off, so that will be the real test when it comes to eating healthy. I tend to be kinda lazy about packing lunches these days, but there is also a grocery store across the street, so I don't really have any excuse for not eating healthy foods (because I could take 10 minutes to go grabs some fresh food, even if I didn't meal prep). Next week, I do get to work from home every third week, though. And I get Fridays work from home, which makes things so much more convenient when it comes to eating healthy (and avoiding the goodies my coworkers like to bring in). I also need to remember to REPLACE the calories I am not consuming in sugar and alcohol. Because gains 4 Quote Chaotic-Neutral, Elven Bladesinger (Apprentice): Level 1 Current Stats: STR 11 || DEX 11 || CON 12 || INT 15 || WIS 15 || CHA 12 Goal Stats: STR 14 || DEX 17+ || CON 14 || INT 18+ || WIS 18+ || CHA 14 "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily; to not dare is to lose one's self". - Søren Kierkegaard Link to comment

Aquarii Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 Started week 1 today. Still going strong with the no alcohol and no sugar. Didn't get in a walk or workout, but my workout days are typically MWF and I usually do most my walking at work, so I am not too worried about hitting that goal yet. The dice has spoken, and today was a 3, so I got in a nice stretch, which reminded me just how much I need to get back into a regular stretching routine. But, one thing at a time. That will be a goal for another challenge. 4 Quote Chaotic-Neutral, Elven Bladesinger (Apprentice): Level 1 Current Stats: STR 11 || DEX 11 || CON 12 || INT 15 || WIS 15 || CHA 12 Goal Stats: STR 14 || DEX 17+ || CON 14 || INT 18+ || WIS 18+ || CHA 14 "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily; to not dare is to lose one's self". - Søren Kierkegaard Link to comment

Aquarii Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 So, totally spaced on my Heal goal yesterday, so today I rolled for damage. Thankfully, I won, so I don't have to give up any of my Hit points, but I won't get my XP. Ah well, it will take some time to get in the groove and remember the habit. On the plus side, I have got in two walks, one workout, and have been sticking to no sugar or alcohol, so I am on track for everything else. And in other news, today at work, there was an issue going on with one of or WordPress pages, and my boss and co-worker could not figure it out. It was for a really high priority page, so my boss was about to send it out to our third party vendor to try and fix, but I found the issue and fixed it! I am a tech god(dess), I guess?
