Best laid plans.

Well we planned to manage our time efficiently, have everyone do their food shopping prior to arriving at Stephens and focus on just Warhammer and D&D. Sadly this didn’t happen, instead we all helped Stephen shave his head bald, went shopping then Oscar and Stephen got into some sort of intense card trading for about half an hour while me and Tim sat there ready for D&D.

We did eventually get on with D&D however we weren't really that focused and got distracted a couple of times, once by talking about Zap Branigan from Futurama, good times. Anyway, we were investigating an evil mine and some worms. We bought some donkeys and a cart, rather the other two bought donkeys and a cart I bought a white riding horse I named Silver. We rode into the headquarters of the suspected villain and confronted him, without a plan. We lied our way into his office, threatened him, then Stephen insulted his intelligence and he called his guards. So we made a daring escape and I got to yell "Hi ho Silver away!" which was fun.

We decided to sneak in and investigate that night. Stephen even managed to ninja kill two guards with a katana. We got into the mine found a side passage and made our way into the sunken temple we were looking for. Suddenly two teiflings jumped us. But Tim had to catch the bus so we ended things there.

Me and Stephen painted for an hour or so before I went home. I bought some paints earlier in the day so I finished the first 3 skeletons and have started on the next 3 and I got the undercoating on the Catachans done. I'm going to have a rummage around and see if I can find anymore Catachans as I'm sure I have a few lying around somewhere.

Hopefully next Monday we will be a bit better organized.

Ho Hum

We haven't really had a solid session of gaming in the last few weeks. I have missed a couple and so has Tim. We've mostly done Magic the Gathering and painted minis. I've constructed an elf deck for magic and I'm working on a beast deck. I may even make the elves white/green and the beasts green/red.

The painting is come along slowly but surely. I'm 90% finished on the first of 30 skeletons and about 50% finished on the vampire. I haven't even started the ghouls, corpse cart or zombies yet. Due to my short attention span, I’m also doing a squad of Catachan Imperial Guard for Warhammer 40k. It helps me keep my skills up without me becoming distracted or bored while doing the undead. I've even taken all my lord of the Rings figures home so I won’t be tempted to start painting them.

I'm going to do a mild rework of Ash for D&D. I think I'll alter a couple of the talents and feats I took and then go into the shadow hunter advanced class when we level up next. At sixth level I'm going to take the sidekick feat. Which as the name suggests gives me a side kick character. I'm thinking I'll take an academic Indiana Jones style character, which will be in the occultist advanced class. Sort of a brains and brawns team up.

Anyway next week we plan on continuing D&D, which will be good. I'll get some photos up when I have some finished minis to show.
