If you want to read the whole thing in one go, it’s easiest on my site.
(These are “newest first”, so start at the end and work backwards.)
Throughout October, I’ll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here’s the prompts I’ll be using.
You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.
Over the years, DnD sources have offered many different scripts for the celestial alphabet. I’m using a pretty old one here, largely because I like how it looks.
The glyphs translate to “ZETEMA” - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.
Sorry for all the people who wanted to see the rabbit go to town.

Its ok, I will not hop to conclusion. Im sure youre doing it furr a good reason.
Since I know people will want it, here’s the glyph set I’m using for celestial.
I copied Konsi’s first two poses from professional baseball photographs. I love how exaggerated baseball throws are.

I like how the first one is basically just a Jojo pose lol

OK that’s really funny, I didn’t understand why it resembles Hebrew and this is very very close (letter names are even the same).
Ignoring the table and reading it in Yiddish (which uses the same letters as in Hebrew with different pronunciation) this read closely to “oh my god“ (“omeged” but close enough)
Edit: reading right to left, of course.

I thought it looked a lot like Hebrew. You did write it backwards though. And it’s out of order in this picture too, ז is the 7th letter in the Hebrew alphabet but here it’s listed as the last
I believe this “celestial alphabet” was based loosely on hebrew yes. They’ve more recently replaced it with their own glyphs, but also not officially published them all so… (shrug) - I just liked the shapes.
- Lazerbeams2 ( @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network ) English1•1 year ago
It’s actually pretty close to Hebrew with sharper lines and a bunch of added dots and flourishes

This shit is quality, and the art is getting noticeably better as it goes on.

I have watched this several times and just now notice that the henchman repeating the gah is a kenku and this is hilarious :)

Well it has to be a bonus action cleric spell with concentration because throwing an object is an action, so the options are: Shield of Faith, Holy Weapon or Spirit Shroud. She’s not holding a weapon, and it doesn’t look like she’s summoning spirits of the dead, so I’m going to go with she is casting Shield of Faith.
In this case, I did pick a spell that’s a full action. Assume for mechanical accuracy that Konsi’s not really “throwing” the rabbit, but the rabbit is jumping, which is what’s really giving the distance.

The most powerful spell component: a flexible GM
In this case, even more powerful and deadly: Artistic License

Throwing a polymorphed rabbit would be interaction with an object because I love my players and their creativity

My guess is spirit guardians. With the 3 attackers coming over, it would be a shame if they had to take damage to get close enough to attack.

Pulled off so expertly. Have they done this before?
Not this specifically, no… but they’re both pretty seasoned adventurers.
