Working on a proper few threats for the upcoming plot and just going to have fun with it. I get the impression they leveled down for the challenge of low level monsters. So you have to make leveled creatures and try to stay inside RAW games.

Though, I still want it to feel like a Bad End since I keep the game moving on their characters' backstories.

I guess I'll let the old tried 'n true method of internet polls or rolling my d20 decide their fate.

TPKing a DND Group soon.

Kei te mahi au i ngā whakatūpato tika mō te pūrākau e tū mai ana, ā, ka pai ki te whai i te ngahau. Ka rongo au he mea whakaiti rātou mō te wero o ngā mōrehu iti. Nō reira, me hanga e koe ngā mea kua whakatūpatohia, ā, me noho i roto i ngā kēmu RAW.

Ahakoa, e hiahia ana au ki te rongo hei Bad End nāna i pupuri te kēmu e haere ana i runga i ngā pūrākau o ā rātou tohu.

Ka whakaaro au ka tuku au i te tikanga tawhito 'n' pono o ngā pōti ipurangi, kāore rānei e huri i taku d20 ki te whakatau i tō rātou tohu.

TPKing he Rōpū DND i te wā e tū mai ana.

As above, so below. As within, so without...

Pērā i runga, pērā i raro. Pērā i roto, pērā i waho...

Here's where it gets weird. 

The Tasmanian Tiger, was an apex predator in Australia, and hunted to extinction by the late 1930s. 

I met my late wife through a personal ad that her mother actually answered... told you it gets weird! Her mother made a date with me, and told her to go.
But she read the ad before she came to see me... and changed my world for 16 years. 

As the sun came up that first morning, we were still on this high from meeting each other. Two professionals in the music biz, who had major label releases of our own. We already knew of each other, but didn’t dream this would happen. I mentioned something about my ad and she said "Tasmanian Tigers". 
I had mentioned them in my ad and she didn't know what they were.

So I showed her a flickering old movie from the late 1930s that showed the last surviving one in a zoo in Australia.
And my thought... that I was the last - how she felt as well... 

So I reprised my original ad... hoping to be that lucky again, as I believe in honoring your departed, to have the best life you can. After all, we've had practice! 

Along with my music, I'm also a romantic. The last of the true and afflicted ones. I know I am not of this world. Not here, at least. I am a Tasmanian Tiger. A thylacine, and I've searched the earth for another... and still am only as one. 

I wasn't always like this, though. My life changed as I saw my mate felled by the new predators that invaded our wood. It's been four winters now and I can still remember the day as I returned to our den and the songbirds that lived above us saw me... my slow gate, my fixed stare... as they stopped singing and were uneasy. 

To this day, they stop as I come back with quarry to share with no one. They are simple creatures, but they live on their intuition... and not just their own, but the thousands of their ancestors that came before, thousands think as one... and their songs are their knowledge which is not learned... but certainly real. 

They've asked me, but they already know... and I know this... it's their way of acknowledging my hurt inside. They see me bringing back my quarry to my den... and see my eyes grow damp. They don't know what that is, and neither do I. 

They are struck by my plaintive yowl. I don't know what it is, either... I don't recognize any of what I do now... it's not something I'm even aware of... but the yowl...hoping against hope that it is answered. Knowing it won't be. All of this land is covered with the simple creatures, SO simple, yet complete... and the whole earth is covered with them... so many as their souls could fill the ocean...but would be so shallow as to scarcely wet my foot pads... 

I don't understand the dampness in my eyes and the disquiet in my heart, when I think of the times past. I never yowled. I yipped, chittered... and made quiet puffs of air to signal my mate... and I still do so, in my dreams. 

The birds told my story to the cranes... and when the cranes came back as the days warmed, they told of a world that was no longer for the thylacine... not a den, nor trace. The watering holes showed not a footpad in the mud... no bones... and the rabbits and shrews were bold... as if they had nothing to fear! And numerous... so numerous as to be diseased and festering carcasses exposed all over... so much that the carrion eaters couldn't even finish them.  

So it would appear that I am alone. And my eyes grow damp as I feel this... and the birds above our den ask me if I am sick, as my eyes are ever damp... I tell them I don't know, as I don't. I truly don't know what is wrong with me. Or this world... That soon I will grow older, stooped as the elders I saw as a kit, and slow... and my teeth will dull and fall out... and then I will lay down my last time. But now my teeth are still sharp, I can take more quarry than ten of my peers... which is why I'm still here and disquiet. I know of nothing else!

But why am I here? My coat is still sleek, my mind and body nimble, as the apex of the hunters. The birds above me paired for life, which is also our way. We are connected in that way... and one day I saw his mate fall... and it distressed me. Much as I think they must feel, now... and saw him out on their branch hopping up and down. It was strange behaviour... and his song... so different. As he did that day and even after the light. It was his way. And he didn't sleep in their nest.  He didn't sleep at all, I believe. Until one day, she arrived. His mate to this day. And I know that is what he thinks I must do. But they are simple.

 I asked him one day if he ever missed his first mate. He looked at me quizically. I tried to ask again, as the one that came before, and he said only that he had always been with his current mate. He believes this. That is his way. I envy him. They cannot conceive of this. 

And they still quiet their song as I return. And they still nuzzle as I walk out of sight, seeing my solitude, feeling complete as they are. And I walk my perimeter, And beyond. Farther every day. Making my plaintive yowl, hoping that it will be answered. And sometimes I lie down and dream... and hope that dreams are not all I will ever have. Or that i awaken and find her there again, as if THIS were the dream, as I had many times before she truly did fall... these always confused me as dreams our life before do now. For what good are dreams in a world where no Thylacine live? And what am I to become that a simple bird pities me? If I didn’t have fondness for them I would gulp them down, not to see that look again. 

Well, my day is nigh, and I must lie down in my den,  again. I push myself beyond my ability every day, and sometimes chew the hemlock leaves, so I don't lie down, but fall... to sleep without pointless dreams... lately of the coming spring and running with my mate by the waters. Yipping, chittering, and nuzzling.

Tasmanian Tiger

Anei te wā e pā mai ana te raru. 

Ko te Tākahe Tasmaniana, he kaipōtiro matua i Ahitereiria, ā, i huntia ki te mate i ngā tau 1930. 

I tutaki au ki tāku wahine kua mate i te pānui whaiaro i whakautu tōna whaea... kāore e taea e au te kī atu he raru! I whakarite tōna whaea he rā ki a au, ā, i mea ia ki a ia ki te haere.
Engari i pānui ia i te pānui i mua i tōna taenga mai ki a au... ā, i huri i taku ao mō te 16 tau. 

I te whiti o te rā i te ata tuatahi, i teitei tonu mātou i te whakangahau i te hui. E rua ngā tohunga i te umanga puoro, e whai ana i ngā tuhinga rēti nui. I mōhio mātou ki a mātou, engari kāore i whakaaro ka tupu tēnei. I kōrero au mō tāku pānui, ā, i mea ia "Tākahe Tasmaniana". 
I kōrero au mō rātou i tāku pānui, ā, kāore ia i mōhio ko wai rātou.

Nō reira, i whakaatu au ki a ia he kiriata tawhito e pāwhiri ana i ngā tau 1930 e whakaatu ana i te pēnā i toe mai i te zoo i Ahitereiria.
Ā, ko tāku whakaaro... ko au te pēnā i toe - pēnā hoki tāna...

Nō reira, i whakahou au i tāku pānui taketake... e tumanako ana ki te riro hei tangata waimarie anō, i te mea e whakapono ana au ki te whakanui i ngā mate, ki te whai i te ora pai e taea ana. I te mutunga o te rā, kua whai wāhi mātou! 

I te taha o taku puoro, he tangata romāntika au. Ko te pēnā o te hunga pono me te hunga pāpā. E mōhio ana au kāore au i te ao nei. Kāore au i konei, i te iti rawa. He Tākahe Tasmaniana au. He thylacine, ā, kua rapu au i te whenua mō tētahi atu... ā, kei te noho tonu au hei kotahi. 

Kāore au i te pēnei i ngā wā katoa, heoi anō. I huri taku ao i te wā i kite au i taku hoa e hinga ana e ngā kaipōtiro hou i whakaeke mai ki tā mātou ngahere. E whā ngā takurua i tēnei wā, ā, ka taea e au te mahara ki te rā i hoki mai au ki tā mātou whare, ā, ko ngā manu waiata e noho ana i runga i a mātou i kite i au... tāku haere āta, tāku titiro pākiki... i te wā i mutu rātou i te waiata, ā, i te mea kāore rātou i te pai. 

I tēnei rā, ka mutu rātou i te wā e hoki mai ana au me te hopu ki te tiri ki te tangata. He mea māmā rātou, engari e noho ana rātou i runga i tā rātou whakaaro... ā, kāore anō i te rātou ake, engari ko ngā mano o rātou tūpuna i haere mai i mua, e mano te whakaaro hei kotahi... ā, ko tā rātou waiata he mōhiohio kāore e ako... engari he tino pono. 

Kua pātai rātou ki a au, engari e mōhio ana rātou... ā, e mōhio ana au i tēnei... he ara tēnei ki te whakaae i taku mamae i roto i. E kite ana rātou i au e hoki mai ana ki tāku whare... ā, e kite ana i taku kanohi e pātea ana. Kāore rātou i te mōhio ko te aha tēnei, ā, kāore au hoki. 

E pā mai ana rātou i taku tangi pouri. Kāore au i te mōhio ko te aha tēnei... kāore au e mōhio i ngā mea e mahia ana e au i tēnei wā... kāore e mōhio au... engari te tangi... e tumanako ana ki te whakautu. E mōhio ana au kāore e riro. Kua kākahu te whenua katoa i ngā mea mām

Tākahe Tasmaniana

I have always had an indescribable urge to create before I had the knowledge and know how now…

Do you luv creating?

I nga wa katoa, i whai whakaaro ahau ki te hanga i mua i taku mohio me te mohio i tenei wa...

Kei te aroha koe ki te hanga?

Made it purple and green but the green looks more teal. Not unhappy with it.

New hair color!

I hangaia hei puru me te kākāriki engari ko te kākāriki e titiro ana ki te teal. Kāore au i te pōuri mōna.

Hey, just wanted to share something I painted last year. I felt broken after my break up so I've been offline for a few months now, but she cracked and egg who has seen how much i can give. I'd really like to meet someone this year, someone who appreciates romance but also has dark sense of humour, and drive for adventure. She put the work in so someone should get the benefits 😅

Just sharing some of my art work

Hey, kei te hiahia au ki te tuku i tētahi mea i peita ahau i te tau kua pahure. I te mea i raru ahau i muri i taku wehenga, nō reira kua noho au i te ipurangi mō te toru marama, engari i pakaru ia, he hua i kite i te nui o tāku ka taea te tuku. Ka tino hiahia au ki te tutaki ki tētahi tangata i tēnei tau, tētahi e mōhio ana ki te aroha engari he āhua pouri tōna humārie, me te hiahia ki te onga. I whakangungua ia, nō reira me whai te tangata i ngā painga 😅
