From my home D&D game:
The party’s barbarian ally and bodyguard, and my wizard Kamiko’s love interest, Jean Baptiste de Vigny, was tricked into returning to the feywild by his estranged husband, the archfey Alec. When the party followed Jean Baptiste and Alec to Alec’s domain, Alec decided to toy with them by throwing them into an arena fight without warning, where they were forced to fight the constructs that Jean Baptiste used to use for training when he first married Alec.
I wanted to paint the moment when the party realized the nature of the situation they found themselves in. They’d been prepared for court intrigues and politics, but had to pivot to life-or-death combat in a moment as Jean Baptiste was forced to watch, prevented from helping them.
I’ve been poking at this in my free moments since August, but it’s finally finished!
