Even though we recently completed our campaign (our x-rated retelling of the adventure Tomb of Annihilation), my players have taken it upon themselves to lead us through a series of homebrew adventures - meaning that I’ve had the opportunity to play a lot for a change!
My character, Bayleaf the Bard, began life as an original NPC in our two-year campaign. Over time, we fell in love with her, and whenever I had a chance to play, I would play as her. Bayleaf is a nimble, confident swashbuckler with levels in bard and in fighter. She‘s rather brazen, enjoying drunken nights at the tavern and the company of well-travelled strangers, like adventurers and sailors.
In between ANIMAL INSTINCT pages, I felt strongly compelled to create this new illustration. I had a lot of fun making it, and even though this isn’t part of our regularly scheduled content, I do hope you enjoy it ❤️
