Wow, great conclusion to your stories/report! And congrats on making the final achievement!

So, who is the new mystery lady...?

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

Looks like I'll be facing some of the regulars tomorrow.

Thanks guys!
The mystery lady? All will be revealed soon, although she's already appeared in my blog once before...

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Aeon Flixx: Chronomancer, and her apprentice Brunhilde.
The first part of what will hopefully be a lengthy saga can be found on my blog at http://frostgravery.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/aeon-flixx-and-fungi-of-felstad.html

Jon really did have lousy luck on the dice, with virtually every spell roll fluffed, and I even managed to win initiative for 4 turns in a row (something that NEVER happens).

jp1885 · « **Reply #717 on:** February 11, 2018, 11:48:06 AM »

Yep, one of those games

There are times when even the most pure of heart are vulnerable to corruption. For wargames figure painters this is often the time when he/she asks him/herself: ‘what colour scheme shall we paint this in?’

One cursed night this happened to me. I had found a great model – a Reaper Bones Frost Wyrm - that I wanted to use to represent Tiszirain: demon lord of victory and consumption. Little did I know that this aspect of the creature is also the demon of poor painting decisions! Unaware of the danger, I merely listened as, what I thought was my inner painter’s voice said: ‘Go on, paint it yellow. You love painting yellow…’

Then, with a slight chuckle, I heard the words: ‘oh, as a matter of fact, why not push the boat out and go for a black and yellow-striped wasp theme?’ And then, it laughed: ‘and paint my Chilopendra minions yellow too...’ for I had recently undercoated some CP Models Gene Reaper aliens for these demonic underlings. 'Paint a black stripe on them too,' it giggled. 'Oh dear, you've made them look worse - never mind, paint over it with... more yellow!'

By now the thing was roaring with malicious mirth, gibbering sarcastic encouragement as I wrestled with my chosen colour scheme. ‘Green or brown wash? I think green…’, ‘no, add more water… oh look, it’s puddling around the bases…’, ‘just go for your standard quickstain, it won’t dirty the yellow at all…’

By the time I got to the drybrushing I was howling in anguish! However, battling on I hung on to whatever sanity I could grasp and eventually applied the final coat of varnish - the hateful things were done! Confident that I had exorcised the monster, I reached for the next model in the pile – a CP Models Three-headed Lurker that I wanted to use as a Toravor (a multi-headed burrowing demon). With renewed confidence I opened my paints tub, as the voice sniggered: ‘Go on, paint it orange…’

Great introductory report! I like your new characters, and look forward to following their journey.

I hate games like that where the dice are against you...in my last game, the fellow next to me asked if my d20 had only single digit numbers on it!

I played a Chronomancer off and on at the FLGS's Frostgrave Campaign. I slowly whittled down my Elemental Bolt casting number (He had recovered a dodgy laser-pistol on some foray to the future), until he and his apprentice were quite deadly to all who thwarted them.

I also love your commentary on painting. It takes a bit of talent to turn a disastrous painting session into a narrative gem.

Actually, I think they all look quite nice in a demony sort of way!
