A Message from Aslynn, Queen of all Hags

Thursday, February 23, 2023

I am Aslynn, queen of all witch covens
Those that see me know I, hag above hags
Witch above witch, the best of them slovens
My cauldron’s full of such terrible gags
(I crush their sweet little dreams in my fist)

The Pathfinders don’t know what they’re in for
They have slayed a thousand foes and monsters
But I have slayed a million and one more
No witch as strong as me, though they posture
(No caster could ever be in my midst)

They think they can stop my terrible plans
’Cause they have my leftover goods within
Oh yes, I see you, you’re there with your plans
I have such a plan, oh where to begin?
(Oh, what a plan, how to make them assist?)

I will corrupt the Dimension of Dreams
Give them something awful to really fear
As my potion brews, prepare for my schemes
I will dream of sweet horrors as I sneer
(How they’ll spread forth, onward my dears, persist!)

And once we have taken that plane of dreams
Nightmares to brew across all their nations
I’ll rule with a cold heart and wicked teams
My daughters will conquer, such creations!
(Even my betrayer, she tried to twist)

I am Aslynn, queen of all the witches
Crone of the highest order, worst of hags
My cackle leaves all mountains in ditches
Baba Yaga dreads my name, crone in rags
(Her little brat Anna’s next on the list)

Aslynn pulls along her cauldron with silver chains as it overflows with a dark liquid containing stars and nebulas

Up you go as down we throw.
Queen of Hags will end up in bags.
As all our puns will make your children run.
Your end will be just as soon as they are free.
Where are your rhymes? This seems like a crime.
For it isn't a time to be so sublime.

I am Teki Stronggut, goblin goddess
-- My Starstone test as yet pending --
But kicking your butt will not be the oddest
Trial I complete before my Ascending
(Don't mess with gods when we're pissed)

Aslynn, our foe crazed and misbegotten
Aslynn, alleged queen of witch covens
Perhaps dear Aslynn has forgotten
What happens to witches in their own ovens?
(Don't worry, you won't be missed)

Also, please tell me that our final fight this season ends with dance off or rap battle! I'm so down for this!

I can't say taunting Grandmother ever struck me as a wise decision.

I tried some when you weren't looking, and you seriously need to take some cooking classes or something. I would think someone who is always dragging around a pot of soup would have a better recipe."

I, I ... I’ve heard you’ve got great fame
From messin’ with the Dreamin’ plane
We find you such a bore …

No Way! No Way! You've really got a nasty face
Your magic won’t even share your space
Even slumber starts to snore …

Hex on the run
You're cackling, patron power shuns
It’s runnin’
Why not become a nun
And hide that evil eye away

Hexes on the run!
Go Hexy! 😉
Hex on the run

And hide away ...

Also, Hi Teki!

Fear not for I mentioned your name to Baba Yaga over tea.

She was puzzled. "Aslynn you say? My janitor you fear?"

This plunger she gave me and words for you, you wannabe seer,

Get back to work! Dimensions Seven and Twelves are still clogged with Elvanna's tears.

When from behind the Lodge I heard such a clatter
I sprung from my cot to see what was the matter
To my window she flew with a terrible cackle
Brandishing a pair of cold iron shackles

And then, with a clinking and rattling of chains
As I ran back inside, my head aching with pain
Reality fades, only nightmares remain
As The Queen of all Hags invades my brain

She was dressed in a jerkin made from the skin
Of an innocent child that she doubtless did in
Her bubbling cauldron dragging behind
With a fearful visage that could strike a man blind

...and so on and so forth. XD

This is worth continuing...

When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But Biglock and Mr. Glovely hauling some gear.
With Zykyryz the skull we can never be bored
We'll take your hag and raise you an Arclord!

More rapid than eagles our Venture Captains came,
I hope you don't mind if I call some of them by name:
"Now Kreighton, now Ambrus, now Zarta Dralneen!
"Now, Sebnet and Muesello with wayfinders keen!

Whomst?


Is there a reason for this message? I’m confused as to why it is in the blog. Presaging some announcement for the next Adventure Path? Some other release?

:Hmm waves to OceanShieldWolpf.:

Hey OSW!

I noticed you don't have any Organized Play Characters, so it's a good bet that you haven't been playing Pathfinder Society Season Four. During the ongoing storyline of that Season, we've been having some issues with Aslynn the hag.

This trash-talking blog is here to help us anticipate the opportunity to kick her hag butt later this season.

I hope that helps!

Hmm


Another job for the Vigilant Seal. Regroup, guys.

Interesting, she did show up in a couple of 1E scenarios as well starting around season 7.

Man, I just landed in "Epic Rap Battles of History!"

Time for a performance check:

Yo' ya' silly hag,
Your rhymes are weak,
ya' old nag.

Pathfinders 'll put ya' in blinders
Keep draggin' around that pot, ya' gonna get got
Knockin' over your soup, gonna throw ya' for a loop

Your magic? Its tragic.
Made a nothin' but weak sauce,
Meek sauce,
The only thing it does is reek sauce.

Night hag, Fright hag... Yeah right
Ya' got nothin', no drip,
just rags.

Pathfinder's bling? Ain't never gonna be yo' thing.
So stop tryin', and get to cryin'

--Lem, probably.

This is part of the reason Millicent wants a shot at Aslynn. I chose hag for her bloodline because it sounded more interesting than the typical blaster-type sorcerer. Then, completely by accident, her very first scenario featured a hag as the main villain! She fought another one a couple levels later, which is making her somewhat paranoid about how often this is going to happen. Each new hag just makes her crankier and crankier about her own lineage ("Curse you, Grandmama!"), even as she taps into that power more and more every level.

Roses are red,
Aslynns a hag,
Her stench is enough,
To make even trolls gag.
