We never got to see if they sparkled in the Sun.

Last week no Oscar or Tim. So me and Stephen painted, played Warhammer and Soul Caliber. Stephen kicked my ass at Warhammer, a victory for the Joblins over the Minions of the Bat Man. But with my new units I will hopefully solve my mobility problems, sadly they don’t fit in the carry case so I am going to have to sort out a means of transport for them. I also took my painting gear and Vampire Counts minis home with me and have made good head way on them having them at home.

This week still no Tim but he is due next week. We played more D&D this week and a bit of magic. I even managed to land a solid second at magic, never winning but never losing. Mind you my cards are 3 editions out of date and I inject no money into the game.

Anyway D&D was fun. We left the investigation of the underground temple to seek allies and visit Sigil city of doors. We found our guide with links to Sigil in town and settled our debt with the barkeep. However the mine owner whom we threatened and whose guards we assaulted got word to the Sherriff and the mayor. So in order to settle things smoothly in town we had to do some community service.

In this case it meant finding the mysterious creature that was draining the blood from peasants via two small punctures in their necks. I know what you're thinking and so did we. We went west and found the latest victims of our blood sucking fiend. A family murdered in their home and the bodies being ravaged by Hyenas. We got into a scuffle with the hyenas and Ash got bitten. We then kept tracking west and found a ruined Mill. Inside were dead bodies drained of blood and mystical runes that hurt our brains. Bt no coffins, no tomb, no hunchbacks guardians. Instead we found flying devil heads with claws and tucks that drained blood. We were tricked, all our garlic, mirrors and wooden stakes were for naught.

Anyway we battled these bizarre Tran dimensional menaces and eventually beat them. Stephen was lifted into the air and had his blood trained at one point. It was all very cinematic. And filled with suspense as the creatures started to the get the upper hand and I hit another streak of dice rolls under 5. But in the end Ash got the killing strike on both. We healed up and took a brief moment to gather ourselves. Then I went to go get our horses so we could cart the bodies back too town. But when I stepped outside we were under a foreign sky in a forest, where we had previously been in a desert. No sign of our horse, magnetic north had changed and the only thing the same was the ruined mill and its contents.

We found a river and had a wash and then entered the forest and found a road. we found a road sign but couldn't read the language. We ended our session there since Oscar and I had things to do in the morning. We also decided to play another Warhammer campaign using Minis from our Warhammer armies, as a way of encouraging us to paint up our minis and an excuse to play some more Mordheim.
