Lighthouse under attack: a D&D 5E one-shot

With Legorlas' gang unable to reconvene for a session, we went for a one-shot, with a first-time DM. Time to make a new character!

  • Pussycat, female tiefling bard
  • Obi von Kenobi, eldritch knight (me)
  • Emanon, warforged arcana cleric 
  • Himawari Ranbu, kensei monk

The adventurers were having breakfast in a port side tavern. I went ahead with presenting my background first, as I put way too much thought into this. The rest of the players joined in, leading to a well-established adventuring party. 

No, I won't spare you. Obi von Kenobi spent his youth at the jedi temple, a religious enclave worshipping the Weave of Magic permeating the universe as a single entity - the Force. His first quest was to offer a helping hand to the kingdom of Naboo, threatened by the warforged/golem army of the local Trade Consortium. Obi and his master, Qui von Jinn, turned the tide by convincing a local bullywug tribe, the Gungans, to distract the warforged army, while the two jedi took care of the army's leadership. Unfortunately, Qui von Jinn died, leading to Obi questioning the tenets of his order and starting on the path of the adventurer instead. Emanon was part of the warforged army, but got shocked by a Gungan weapon and his programming misfired. He deserted and joined Obi instead. Ranbu was a jedi reject, as he was unable to grasp the philosophy. Still, he joined up. Pussycat was simply attracted by my strength of arms and huge... sword. Yes, it went on like this all evening.

Painting a commission Griffin

A low-effort commission to make this Reaper Bones griffin look like its counterpart in Heroes 3.

Painting a commission marble golem

Initially, this commission stone golem was supposed to be a quick greyscale drybrushing job. We changed our minds and made him marble instead.

Astra Militarum vs Necrons, 07.11.2023

A small demo game of 360ish points. It was my opponent's first game since several editions, so we just pretended to play kill points and went through the basics of the game.

I forgot to take pictures of the setup. We each had two units that moved a bit forward in the first turn. 

Battle round 2 

Flayed Ones arrive from reserves! I did an Overwatch to no effect.

Painting a commission Halloween golem

A low effort random commission. I decided on faded browns, as for a scarecrow, with a big orange pumpkin head and some low effort rust effect on the scythe.
