the safe hΘle

the past weekend my D&D group started their adventure on the dreaded downward path to the ogre mage who knows a thing or two about the undead. within the walls of an ancient building that has been standing ever since the first foundation block was laid down in the city of Tal Kurruk, the adventurers have to meet an ogre mage who has the power to help them bring down a powerful necromancer... but they need to survive what lurks in the halls of this mage. here are some highlights...  after being harassed by something and even being attacked by an animated bookshelf, the group has found out that noble half-elf isn't all who he says he is. at this point there was almost an execution. cautiously approaching a trophy room of some sorts, members of the party examine a suit of armor. they expected they were alive with some kind of magic, but they were just suits of armor. at this moment the players were kind of skittish of what was animated and what was not. was funny watching them ent

just a few things i been working on. been gearing up for a semi-big event in our Dungeons and Dragons group. the current group of our D&D players. with the deaths of the dwarf cleric and gnome warlock, we inherited a new player, Nate as he is playing as a dragonborn fighter, and Chris returning with a half-elf dhampir ranger. was able to get the other bard i had sitting around complete. used him in a recent session as a bard with a little known curse....... .....a truly fearsome werewolf. i took one of my werewolves from my collection and re-based it so it would match and fit in with my Wizkids collection. bought a bucket of jungle animals from Wal-Mart and started with this snake. based it and just added a black wash over it once or twice. i really did not want to get fancy with scale patterns and such. maybe on the next one i do i'll give it a go. a barbarian runs into a giant snake. wanted to do something with these old chaos warrior plastic warriors since i had quite a bit

after a failing attempt, suggestions were brought up to send in some barbarians into the manor to clear house. members of the Greyhorn tribe, Asgrim, tribe leader, Meymis, and Bolmunn and Ghi. as the tribe advances cautiously, they find a lurking ghoul. Bolmunn made quick work of the ghoul with his two-handed axe. Asgrim searches and feels there might be a hidden door. Bolmunn and Meymis look for a hidden mechanism to open the door, and with success reveals a hidden stairwell. "well, Hornsby has hired some muscle to take me out?! I bet you all love a good fight? I guess...I welcome you all to my arena, too bad this will be your end!" from the left room, a few zombies and a ghoul. what could of been an easy fight, became a blood bath. after everything said and done, two members of the Greyhorn survived, with minor wounds. from the room on the right hand side, a half ogre emerges. the two barbarians on making his shaken test, Bolmunn made haste to fight another day, leaving Mey

continuing the story... with only Hornsby and the elvish warlock surviving the sewers, the paladin says "I think if we press on we might need some more help."  rounding up some hired swords and a few others our heroes make their way into the actual lower level of Andorhal. in the heroic group: Odin Hornsby - human paladin, Stephen Godwinn - human rogue, Maurganra, Born of Twilight - elf warlock, Snorri Windhide, brother of Ebrum - dwarf fighter, Seven Shadowpaw - tabaxi ranger, Torinn - dragonborn fighter looking around into left over barrels and piles of rubble, a wererat jumped and ambushed the dwarf fighter.... the group split up both encountering giant rats. ....the wererat didn't have a chance and met it's fate at the end of the warhammer of the angry dwarf. the other half investigate what seems to be a servant's quarters. with some success the one half of the party unlocked a heavy door which opens a torture room with a few ghouls and a ghast! blood and car
