What happens if you want to go on an adventure but you can't go outside because of the weather or the flu hit you hard? You go and get your pen and paper and join @jacobtothe on a D&D adventure obviously, this time he prepared a dungeon to crawl in called ***The Lair of Onvyr the Necromancer*** using a map made by ***Dyson Logos*** and he filled it with numerous encounters and a few surprises!

> The follow-up adventure is this coming afternoon, and we will see where the story goes from there. It is moving beyond the part I had heavily scripted in advance, and more into an open world of opportunity for the players. It should be quite the adventure for me to manage as DM, too. - @jacobtothe

Music has the magic to get you transported to amazing places just making feel something, this something was achieved by @soundlegion when she composed this original piece called ***Toes in the Sand*** a song full of relaxing electronic vibes that resemble great artists like Daft Punk but as always with her unique style and sweet voice and the help of @wav-Dr in the backgrounds!

When you do something you haven't done in a while can b a refreshing experience, you can do it again with new eyes and regained energy or you can apply experience that previously you didn't have, that is what @aalagenesis did in her new artwork called ***Lillies of the Frozen World*** where she re-explored the pouring painting technique with astonishing results!

> It's been a while since I pour my last acrylic pour painting. This is the first time in the year I spread paint on a canvas like this. I can say that I really missed it. But it's not always easy to go back to the things I used to do every moment of my life. It felt like it's my first time again. - @aalagenesis

Writing is an art that hard to master, the stories you will tell need certain structure and your characters need development and need to be attractive to the reader and most important of all you have to catch your audience, @rakushasu know that very well and is putting together a great story of mystery and conspiracy in a little town, his skill will drive you through the adventures of a couple of friends with something in their hands, something that can change their little hometown, and a cliffhanger at the end, you need that too!

> My town was first mentioned by name in 1784. At the time, It was nothing but a small Christian settlement. All in all, there isn't much of a history to our town. As far as I can tell, it has always been remote and unimportant. Our church, however, is already mentioned in the middle of the 19th century. The story goes that a wealthy European nobleman by the name von Schwarzental came to the new world to build a 'house of God'. The man used all his personal fortune to create the most magnificent church he possibly could. Why he did it and why he came to our town specifically is never mentioned. To be honest, I don't know how much truth there is to the story. I could imagine it was simply made up as a means to explain how a building like our church came to be. - @rakushasu
