Thatchertown - The Hall House In The Woods

The party's first expedition to Thatchertown and it's surrounding areas has been successful so far.

After being hired by Red Sheila the group made up of; Wrack (Human Fighter), Varek (Half-Elf Rogue) and Eternity (Tiefling Wizard) made their way through the forest to her ancestral home to rid it of any woodland creatures who had assumed occupancy.




Along the way they happened upon a fallen warrior who was in the process of losing a fight to an Owlbear.  They were too late to save the brave adventurer but they defeated the Owlbear and recovered a magical sword for their efforts.



Once they arrived at the former home of Philos The Red they found it had been overtaken by an unholy alliance of cultists and gnolls for an unknown purpose.





After defeating the evil cult leader they recovered the key to a magical lock that led them to a portal to either a land/world/or dimension of snow and ice....


We ended our adventure as our players stepped through the portal into the area beyond!

I had a great time running my first D&D Next adventure and GMing my first game on Roll20.net and want to send a big thanks out to my players; Darren, Darcy & Stan for rolling some dice and slaying some monsters with me.

The second instalment of The Hall House In The Woods should happen the last week of this year or the first week of next year.

  1. Please note the 2 player character models were not painted by me.
    Wrack is a classic Citadel Chaos Warrior painted by Darren and Varek is a High Elf Shadow Warrior painted by Stan.

  2. Now that I have a flaming sword, I'm not sure what to do. My model does not represent.

    1. Tough call. You can pretty much bet that won't be his last significant equipment change.

    1. One of the issues is it's so "classic" that it's probably lead. That doesn't chop and swap that well unfortuntately.

  4. I like converting models, but can't bring myself to convert this one.
    The shield is magnetized on, so I can take it off for those hefty two handed strikes!
    I think I'll move to a plastic fig so I can convert as the model changes during play. Any suggestions of a classic feeling chaos warrior that is not the current chaos warriors? Current chaos warriors are nice as a regiment but not enough character or classic feel for me.

    1. One of the Chaos Lord foot models that existed when I was with GW was armed with 2 axes. If you magnetized him you could swap any weapon and/or shield with him. He had a pointy helmet, I'll try to find you a picture.
