It will take some time, but we'll eventually get to character level 14. Then, our dragon sorceress will grow wings. Time to paint this Reaper miniature.

Painting a witchy necromancer
Another sorceress, another dress experiment. This time on the Bones variant of this mini from Reaper Kickstarter 5.
Paint a stereotypical witch
A bit late for Halloween, but here's the witchiest witch I can think of. All she's missing is a broom.
Painting a female elf bard
I got inspired to paint a Barbie-styled blonde in pink clothes. Don't ask why, I didn't even see the movie. The mini is from Reaper Miniatures.

Golden Vault: Casino heist part 2
We reunited with Thaldohr after he was released from the brig, did some preparations in advance, talked through our plans (rather inefficiently but excitement was running high), then made our move.
First, I put on my prepared disguise as an employee while hiding out in our bag of holding, then scouted the employee only areas. I discovered one accountancy office with a magic book writing down the winnings; one office belonging to Quentin, where I palmed a glass key, a minotaur-headed bone rod, and some gold; and one employee lounge, where I made a fantasy themed joke, mingled with the employees, and learned about the minotaur skeleton in the vault.
I also bumped into another employee, but successfully bamboozled him into believing I was a new guy.
The circus was playing at this time, so I also checked out the animal prep area, palming a suspiciously magical looking potion.
We regrouped, and while I explained my progress and Aris studied the bone rod, Quentin was seen rushing to the tournament scene. We decided that he must have discovered the theft, and it was time to move before circumstances change too much.
I moved in, still in disguise, and splashed paint on the mirror observing the approach. Everybody rushed in behind me. I went into the security room to distract the guards, but they were too tough to be put to magical sleep.
Golden Vault: Casino heist part 1
Long story short, this tiefling lady called Verity Kai had a gambling partner called Quentin Togglepocket[1] who stole all the money they supposedly earned working together[2]. Quentin disappeared, then came back big to open his very own casino near Waterdeep, even hosting a 3 dragon ante tournament. Verity wants her money back. She also wants to ruins Quentin by stealing the golden statue which is the grand prize of the tournament. Sounds like the type of noble quest our party was made for!

Painting a commission travelling witch
Included in the final batch of commission characters for 2023, this is a Reaper Bones miniature from the 5th Kickstarter. The sculpt is absolutely beautiful and the scale is just right. Yes the text is copy pasted from the druidess. Still true.
