Cast out from the city of Korvosa, you'll have to brave the harsh lands of the Storval Plateau, home of the proud Shoanti barbarians, as their aid is essential in finding out the truth behind the events of the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path! They don't take kindly to strangers, and the weak are quickly consumed by the creatures that dwell here—hostile Shoanti tribes are just the start!

Again, Callous Jack has done an awesome job. You can see the list of monsters above and there are lots of awesome paper minis here. But let's face it, this set is worth the price for the Bulletes and Giant Worm alone...
So again, there are two reasons you should buy these paper minis. First if you are running this adventure and you want a consistent artistic representation for all of the NPC's. But the other is if you need the type of villains and heroes that show up in these types of stories. You need a Red Mantis Assassin or two? Barbarians perhaps? How about an extremely large sand worm that looks straight out of Dune? For the price? How can you turn that down. As a DM, I find these minis to be very helpful. I highly suggest you check one out.
Looks great Jack. Tomorrow I'm starting this AP again. I barely got going with it last time, but I feel pretty confident this one will stick. I'll bring my camera and take pictures of the paper minis in action.
The Cindermaw looks amazing by the way. Can't wait to see the next set. Scarwall should be a lot of fun.

Thanks Mike! I would love to see pics of the CotCT paper minis! I assume you're starting at Edge of Anarchy and not wherever the last campaign stopped?
And the Cindermaw was fun to, one of the last ones I drew in the set. I was a bit nervous to get it right. I was also concerned about getting the look of the Shoanti right too.
But the Red Mantis were cool to do as was one of my favorite monsters, the Bulettes.
Yeah I'm starting with Edge, but I'm going to try to bring elements from later sections in early, such as Pilts from Old Korvosa. He's just going to show up and talk to one of the PC's. I haven't figured out what they will talk about yet.
That's a good idea! He could try recruiting them for a 'business venture' he's coming up with. He'd probably be happy they got rid of back-alley competition like Lamm.
You could also have the Arkonas or the Carowyns show up earlier. Maybe spread rumors about the Cinderlander or the Cindermaw as early as you can too.

Yeah I think I'll have Arkonas be at the palace when the party shows up with the brooch. Cindermaw and Cinderlander might be too far for them to hear about, but once they leave the city, maybe. But that's a while from now. Due to a background idea of one of the players, I got to introduce Lady Andaisin. I had the cult of Urgathoa attack the ranger's village and kill his leaders, stealing the Crucible of Life, a holy object that they can corrupt and use to create various plague based badness later in the story. I thought this would be a good reason to bring him to the city and sets up that section a little better.
Thanks gigglestick and Midnight_Angel! I hope you guys get some good use out of the Shoanti and all the other creatures in the set.
Mike, that's a great idea you have going with Lady Andaisin!
As for Cindermaw and the Cinderlander, I figured Thousand Faces or some Shoanti in a bar could drop some fearful story about either one, just to set the tone for later on. Especially the Cinderlander as he has a boogeyman quality to him. But it doesn't matter, you've got a lot going on already!
As always, if anyone feels like reviewing, I appreciate it! :)
