I told you that I will remove the helmet XD IT HAD STRANGE EFFECT
BBEG of our current campaign - lich Tar-Baphon, my GM's @drartslog description
yassification was successful!
see no difference
I thought it would be natural for Adar to give names to the newborns in his troop
no, my boy doesn't know the “PC should never torture” rule
I have little work to do, so I’ve been staring at this gif for, like, half an hour, and guess what?
You can see exactly the moment where his fear and disbelief, coming from some familiarity of the pose/position/Halbrand’s face, that this is Sauron turns into “no, I’m putting too much into it, shouldn’t be doing that, Sauron is dead and I saw him die“.
His “No” then is punctuating that.
Joseph Mawle is a king of micro-expressions, honestly.

Then @papugaka said Adar’s gaze is moving slightly to Sauron’s spear and back to Sauron, and it seems true.
Knowing Sauron had a spear, just how many times exactly did Sauron take that dominating stance over Adar in the past that it takes Adar one second to recognize it in a low man?
I finally found the perfect gif. This is literally what happened
Honestly, I haven't seen such a terrible story as Adar's in a long time. Not in the sense that it is poorly written, but in the sense that his storyline and his entire life are absolutely hopeless. His life was spent in suffering alongside Morgoth and Sauron; he witnessed how they killed and tormented his children, he was tortured too. For a brief moment, they freed themselves from Sauron's power, and Adar did everything to ensure that Uruks did not fall under his control again. He was ready to turn them against him, to feel their distance and their waning love for him, he was prepared for them to kill him, just so they wouldn’t become slaves again.
He dies right after realizing that the ring could heal him, after a new path opened up for him in alliance with Galadriel. Sauron looks at him and Adar understands that Sauron has won, and that everything that came before was in vain.
This is an absolute, total nightmare and shattering of all hopes.
When the light of the Valar still shone.
