Hello Dustklose,

The miniature has just arrived and I see your order on a pick list right now. This means it is part of the batch of orders the warehouse is currently working on. It should be on its way any time now.

Diego,

Thank you!

I just received an e-mail saying it should be shipping soon. Great to hear.


I placed this order Aug. 28th. I believe that the female anti-paladin was back ordered, shows in stock now...

Any update as to when this order will ship??


Probably, It was late, and we had been playing Warmachine all week, so our ruling for shooting into melee may be a little off... ha

I'll make sure I pay better attention next time and not mix my games up

I tend to go with illusions working unless someone interacts with it - so I said something to the tune of "Natalya concentrates briefly, and a wall of fire springs up between you and her." The group I'm running this for uses a battlemap, so I drew a red line on the map to indicate the placement. My party was too beat up to risk passing through it, so they ended up using the rafters to pass under the wall. When they got the shard and found out its powers the light bulb came on.

Major image includes basic thermal and olfactory components, so it would feel hot and smell like a fire. Only by touching it with something or passing through it would you reveal it couldn't burn anything.

A character looking at the fire with detect magic up could have chance to identify the actual effect with Knowledge(arcana), but that takes three rounds of concentration.

Awesome! Thank you, that'll help for future reference.


Last Fridays session was a shorter one, my future in-laws were coming. Found out this party is far from a cohesive group. Example:

Rogue wins initiative, and runs across the board to tie up baddies in melee, Zen Archer Monk now shoots into melee, Cleric uses hand of the acolyte into melee, all missing their intended goblin, and hitting the rogue, who was almost killed in the exchange. Summoner just hung back and brought some eagles to the fight. And the Fighter... was to scared to cross the rafters in Natalya's hideout to be of much good...

The managed to capture her alive, but man was it an interesting night.

Quick question: How do you handle Illusion magic. When Natalya cast greater image, how does the party realize it's an image and not an actual fire? how do you best describe it etc.

Any help for this newb would be appreciated :)

I've just spent the last bit of my work day reading these stories. As a newer player(and even newer DM)I don't have any stories of my own yet.

But this newest group I'm DMing has 1 player with experience of over 15 years, 2 players with 2 years experience, and 2 players who have never played before.

Hopefully, I'll have some stories to contribute soon :)

Edit:

I do have a story. From MY first ever campaign. I was playing a Dwarven Cleric of Sarenrae. We were exploring an old asylum, Mezzik heard footsteps downstairs, and upon seeing a group of undead downstairs, I proceeded to throw a fireball down there.

I didn't care to realize that all the walls were wooden, the stairs were wooden. Oh, and if we would have looked in the basement, there were barrels of highly flammable fluids.

Needless to say, I burned the whole asylum down that night. Killing a few innocent patients. And burning all the clues we were supposed to find. ...oops.

Darn Fireballs!

New GM here, this is my first Campaign. I've only ever participated in one campaign as a PC before this (Dwarf Cleric of Sarenrae, ROTL).

My party consists of a Rogue(Going Arcane Trickster), Summoner, Zen Archer Monk, Fighter, and Cleric.

Hopefully this tread is alive enough to help w/ anything that comes up throughout the first book.

As of now they are about to enter Natalya's hideout. They have avoided all combat except w/ the Pugwampi(captured one to try to make it a pet, but the summon monster spell expired and it 'poofed' and dissapeared leaving nothing but rope and a ballgag behind.


These are simply amazing and will help SO much!!

Any chance you've gotten anymore done? My group starts Natalya's hideout this weekend.
