SPOILER ALERT TO MY ADVENTURERS! The following post contains spoilers for the up and coming campaign. You may want to avoid this post and join me in a future one.

First up the cliffs are about 3/4 painted. They have had the base coat, followed by the “highlighting” and a slightly lighter “strong tone” wash applied (previous I used a dark tone on the cave piece).

Once the wash has dried I’m going to try and apply some flock so that it looks like clumps of grass are growing on the cliff face.

My GoodNotes file is expanding. I’ve been building a bestiary from the Monster Manual and other places of the monsters that will be encountered through out the campaign. As you have already read in previous posts last week, I have created two pirate leaders/bosses Angrath the Minotaur pirate and Vraska the gorgon pirate.

I’m also keeping in the notes any specific rules/mechanics that I will be using that are not in the Players Handbook or Dungeon Masters Guide, such as Skill Challenges (from D&D 4e).

As you can see in the image above I’ve blocked out the flow of the adventure.

The entrance and first level of the pirate base are mapped and filled. I now need to plan the second level which is where the majority of the pirates will be. After all the second level is the living quarters etc. The third level is basically similar to the first level but smaller that then leads to the derelict tomb.

I have minis for some pirates, however some need assembling. Which I don’t want to do. Will have to see if I can find a friend to do that for me.

• A Minotaur (which will be Angrath)
• Orc pirate berserker
• Orc pirate with twin swords
• Finaela the half elf pirate (will be Angrath’s lieutenant)
• Barnabus Frost pirate captain
• Mad Dog Morgan dwarf pirate
• 4 pirates
• A pagan priest (that will act as a pirate mage/druid)
• 5 vikings
• 4 berserker vikings

Ok couldn’t resist doing a pano of the cliffs to show the vision I have for them. Not finished but dry. But imagine that on the table.

Naturally once I’ve finished my notes for the adventure I’ll share them with the world for anyone that is likely to be interested.
