A few of us couldn't make it, or were only able to be at part of the game session. While we waited, Mat, Garza & I played a few games of Magic and I got to try out my new deck. A few sets ago they came out with some cheap green creatures with deathtouch. Along with artifacts that allow creatures to tap to deal 1 to any creature or player this is kind of sick when it goes off. I added in some untapping effects such as "Freed from the Real," and wow, it's pretty good though it still needs some tuning.
Ava ran D&D (4th) again, the party is still progressing on our way to meet the dragon lady to cure our zombie rot. It sure is a long way. Shamash & Fyev, Elle, Wikipedia & Aurora, Hadji & Foxy, Jorel, Sticky Fingers, the Dwarven Warden and Roberick Willikers found themselves moving through the only passable area of swamps, thickets and water. In this area the party encountered an adult green dragon and a very large treant, who were fighting each other. After Hadji and Sticky Fingers (mostly) nearly turned the crazy battlers against the party we found our way through and discovered an area full of smashed up things from previous people who had come into the area and never made it out. Some of the things were not smashed up however so we picked up a few handy magic items (level 14). XP: 900
Later on, the party was ambushed by orcs and ogres who put up a pretty good fight but at this point the party was more than a match for even a small army of these monsters. That being said, you never know--the encounter you underestimate could be the one that takes you out! We got some more xp and some monetary treasure for that but I don't have the #s in front of me right now.
I was happy to have a good selection of terrain and pretty good minis for this one. A few years ago I found some plastic fish plants at the thrift store, and I based them up in styrofoam with cardboard underneath and after painting them up they look great - perfect swamp foliage. The dried up sticks from some Scotch Broom I took out a few years ago, after being based up the same way and with some Woodland Scenics clump foliage added make great trees similar to African ones in appearance, and one of the big ones worked pretty well for the Treant. Sadly, our local hobby store is closing so when my stash of Woodland Scenics runs out I will have to find them somewhere else or order them online.
Ava brought strawberry Napoleons and said they were the French type. I don't know that much about pastries and things but they sure were good in both the white chocolate and cream versions. She has a birthday coming up so a few of us pitched in with some goodies for her too. Thank you Ava!
Next session is planned for Saturday, March 27 at 3 pm
