Fla' Nnell - the Tiefling Bard - Met on the Abyss and is leading you to Desicus (you hope) in her black wagon drawn by 2 Bone Golems - Creepy I must say although she is quite the personality of fun and liking. She sings well and likes to show it!

DM Speaks:We had some really great character role playing tonight! I appreciate that and enjoy it so much, I think you ALL play your characters so exceptionally. It's so rare I need to question an action by any PC and if I ever do you always have a good reason for it. That boils down to exceptional role playing on your part! I recognize the groups concern moving forward on the Abyss and Desicus. Warranted but FUN! I do care for this group and will keep an eye out for you as DM. The problem is Desicus may be too strong of an influence to allow that to happen. I feel his dominance compelling me to not give you a fair chance! I am SO excited for this adventure! The final Desicus battle for sure, but even more is your interactions and battles getting there. Who survives this? Desicus is a MAJOR NPC and if you are UNsuccessful reaching him, I WILL be sad but allow it to happen. Part of this challenge is traveling the deadly Abyss and then finding him so I will not sell this part of the adventure short I assure you! Look under PICTURES to see what Fla' Nnell - the Tiefling Bard looks like!

Just a reminder.................................... I often forget what the next challenge is (being a 6-month time frame in-between) but when I look back, I get VERY EXCITED! BUGS!I'll add with this challenge quantity can add value to the winning if the BUG needs it. If you get a flea mini then one probably doesn't do much unless it is a GIANT FLEA, However, multiple mini flea minis could win. Not expected until April.

Thanks. I do appreciate that and after Desicus you really have nothing pressing other than the continuation of Dwakkah in search of more treasure. Of course Captain Bluebeard will have other things of interest. The Desicus mission was your calling, not the Captains.

Ah, I didn't even consider that but now I have 2! 😁

DM Post #175:Just an FYI - I HAVE NO MISSION READY AFTER DESICUS! I Really Don't. HMMMMMM? What does that say?! "I am all, I am everything and I am the Abyss. Feed me more mortal souls and strengthen me even more."

DM Speaks:I give the group an average chance of success. There are many challenges before finding Desicus but I believe if you are "successful" in a couple your goal will be easier. You may think it is straight and simple Diplomacy Rolls or some uncovering of some sneaky passage, but to me that's not really it (although it may be part). If you keep in mind your enemy, your environment, the plane, his mistress and some other things it will help with survival. Yes, I'm being vague because I'm not taking away any advantage Desicus might have. All I ask is that when the battle takes place you are fair with me as I will be with you. No hard feelings or arguments which slow the game to a halt. If they should occur, we will handle them fairly for BOTH sides. Hopefully, there are NO disagreements that arise, but what's the chances of that in this battle 🤣 Let's look at this battle as being some epic fun! These fights rarely occur so when they do lets all make it fun for everyone at the table. I do wish you victory, but I will not pull any punches which I KNOW you would not want me to. If you destroy Desicus I know you'll want it to be YOU, NOT ME! At least I think 😆 With all that being said, let's see how well you fair on your way to Desicus. This will be a fun challenge in itself and something I am looking to play out just as much as the final battle (if the final battle happens of course and a Glabrezu or Nalfeshnee doesn't destroy you before you get to him - pictures of both below).

It is definitely YOU or HIM and you should be worried.I'm very confident one side will continue while the other perishes forever!

It's a great idea to be proactive on your needs. However, I think you can only plan so much. Sure you need protection agauinst heat and fire but what else? That may be unknown and the greater danger. Of course the epic danger will be DESICUS! Oh, he is waiting!

Damn, that is a strong statement! .Saying goodbye to Taladel would be shattering to me and the game/group. He is such a core piece to this group keeping some path of goodness. I'd be worried that without him this grouyp may go down a very different path. I love his conviction, his beliefes (I always love paladins) and him pushing some reasonable thought (at times) upon the group. I'd miss him TREMENDOUSLY as a character!

DM Speaks #173:Desicus will be the end of the Sea Dogs so start thinking of new characters. He's a BAD MAN or should I say DEMON! Although you may have a distaste or even hatred for him some do love him like Beluri the Temptress! She has quite the infatuation with him and is his beloved and could you even believe maybe his wedded wife! What a great Abyssal Celebration they may have had. Warmth, fire, acid, lava and bursts of demonic larvae celebrating the union of two evil individuals strengthening each!! Could you be encountering a Husband (Desicus) and wife (Beluri)? That may offer them some benefits with their new union of love for devastation and all good churches and places of worship! You had the opportunity to challenge Desicus on the Prime Material Plane. However, it seems that has passed and now you must travel to the Abyss and not only battle him but quite possibly his wife Beluri! I don't think you have seen what Beluri the Temptress looks like yet. Here are some sneak peaks at her and Desicus. Yep, she is obscured quite a bit!

DM Post #174:The entire Desicus mission has now been printed. I read it over, modified some things due to time lapse and double checked a few last-minute things. It is not an exceptionally long paged written mission but is lengthy regardless. What I mean is that although there may not be 50+ pages written the encounters and situations you will engage in can be lengthy. Some may be tough battles, interesting and devious dealings and much more! How this ends is yet to be determined, but Desicus is waiting, and he will NOT let his goals be hindered by a bunch of sea faring individuals. You are sailors, not true adventurers or heroes. Desicus laughs at you and your far-reaching attempt to destroy him and his conversion of all the good churches of Krinthius and far beyond. He will reach his epic status he desires and right now ONLY YOU stand in his way if you pursue this. He is an ugly looking individual.

I can do that. Here are a few for now Completely repainted Daredevil Heroclix mini. I don't think you could tell when placed on the table that it was Daredevil. Was going for some elemental type of creature with the repaint and modification. The Beast of Butchery (Gnoll God) untouched but expensive. I needed Yeenoghu and it looks great! Here is a strange mini without question but repainted and can be fun when used with those hammer fists. It's a Mage Knight Mini! Sorry for the terrible pic! Can anyone guess who this mini is? Was a popular series but I repainted and modified him a bit, so he doesn't look like the show. Such a cutie mini! Love the facial expression and stance. Very cool Heroclix mini!

That would be one hell of a project taking pictures and uploading them here for hundreds of minis. 🤣

DM Speaks:I've taken all suggestions for the next game and have come up with the title: THE GLADIATOR GORGE GAME I started working on it tonight so it will still be a while, but I'll throw out some hints and clues as I continue to work on it. Thanks for the suggestions!

Rumor #2: * There will be another Ghlavis Rho attack on Krinthius! True or False?

DM Post #172:I felt I had to post the pics of the hundreds of minis I have gotten. There must be about 500+ and ALL will be rebased. I would never present minis with their dial base at our table. Sure, it would cost MUCH less but I need our black bases on the table, I ordered the bases and am waiting for their delivery tomorrow, I ordered 500 which I hope will be sufficient! Additionally, tomorrow I will exchange Christmas gifts with my immediate family and see what huge minis were bought from my Wishlist. I'll be heading to my daughter's house and doing a belated gift exchange as she worked Christmas. I am excited to see what I get and of course seeing her 🤣

DM Post #171:First, Merry Christmas as my "Eve Party" is now over and before I went to bed, I had to post something! Just want to say this Christmas Eve was the best I've had in many years as my mom, sister, and Godsons were all here! It was pretty awesome, and they're all still here until the New Year! But when all left or went to bed I came down to work on minis and game stuff, but I'm now heading to bed as I have to be ready for Christmas Day in about 4 hours! I'll be ready as I never drink at family parties (0 drinks), but when I came down to work on the game, I had a couple but that's nothing. Send a "Merry Christmas Desicus" text or email and get 2,000 xp's for the holidays! We must be kind to all, even our enemies during the holidays! 🤣

DM Speaks:Ranged attacks seem like the ideal situation I'd gather. 🤣

Turned out that it wasn't 1,000 minis as thought. The deal above was the deal I though was for 1,000. Still great, but not as good as 1,000!
