From LeeH - Level three Teleport - Aurelia the Oracle

As I enter the final week of the Painting Challenge I am already in a reflective mood. I painted all the stuff I needed to get done and hit my target with room to spare, so in that respect mission accomplished. My final points tally isn't going to catapult me into the glitterati of the top ten, but I'm still happy with what I have got done. But there is a fly in the ointment. I was determined to get the whole of the Chambers of Challenge completed and had the final few rooms mapped out and was confident I could breeze through the last level easily. However, Royal Mail apparently has other plans for me. 

I needed a model for the Laboratory so I ordered a set of 28mm figures in line with that theme, with plenty of time for them to arrive. Nearly three weeks after receiving a 'dispatched' email no parcel had arrived. The retailer has kindly dispatched a replacement parcel but again two weeks have passed and I'm still waiting for the figures to arrive. Clearly, someone in my local post office has either decided not to deliver the post, or they want to keep the figures for themselves! To be fair, ALL my mail is arriving late (not just parcels) and its been like this for a couple of months. So my carefully laid plans for the final rooms of the Chambers are in disarray and its time for plan B. 

Rather than sit around not getting anything painted I decided to skip ahead and paint some of the later rooms and then post them when my Laboratory figures arrive, but with just a week to go and my faith that they will arrive at all dwindling, I've decided to take a different route to the end. Hense today's entry, my female figure is an offering to the witch of this level so that I can bypass the laboratory and teleport straight to The Snowlords Treasury (which I'll post here tomorrow). This 28mm figure is from Bad Squiddo Games and was beautifully sculpted by Shane Hoyle. Once again I'm painting this figure (indeed most of my entries to the Chambers) for my Frostgrave games hence the wintery base. 

If my Laboratory figures turn up in the next couple of days I'll backtrack and then use another teleport to get back to the Lair of the Spider. But if they are still not here by mid-week I'll use my teleport to take me to the Hall of Heroes before heading to the last room. I'm probably running out of time to complete the Snowlords final challenge, but I've warned the family that I'm hunkering down for a final burst of painting next weekend. Wish me luck!
