From Curt: More Characters for 'Devilry Afoot' - Johann, Felix and a Leprechaun (11 Points)

Hola!

Some may have noticed that I've been a little quiet, and somewhat tardy with some Challenge administrative duties as of late. Well, Lady Sarah and I have been preparing and are now enjoying a much anticipated vacation to Costa Rica. 

So while my Canadian countrymen, especially those in the Prairies, are enduring the last body-blows that winter has to offer, we, in turn, have been lounging by the pool and enjoying the warm weather. I don't want to gloat, but it's been glorious.

This all being said, before we left for our vacation, I did manage to get a few figures done to help nudge my tally along. Here are a few more figures for 'Devilry Afoot'.

On our way home, we will be stopping in Toronto to visit with Greg and his lovely wife Linda. On top of food, drink and catching-up, I look forward to playing some games with Greg and being complete geeks. One game on our roster is 'Devilry Afoot'. 

Greg has made up a hero for Devilry Afoot, Johann von Saxe. A scholarly priest, a jaded survivor of the Thirty Years War, Johann now wanders the land, hunting monsters and fighting evil where he can. 

This was a 3d print from Michael Evans on MyMiniFactory. A wonderfully expressive figure - nice and chunky. I like how he's slightly stooped, road-weary, but still stolid in his resolve. 'Johann' will be staying with Greg as a thank you for his hospitality during our visit. 

Next is a Leprechaun to serve as a 'Pact Devil'. In 'Devilry Afoot', Pact Devils' tempt heroes and NPCs to enter into 'special arrangements'. For NPCs they are simple whisked off to the land of the fae to be the playthings of fairy folk, but to players, Pact Devils will give them boons to help them in their missions. Of course, these boons always come with a price, and they are often quite steep. Fun!

I thought this grinning little trickster, raising a big mug of foamy beer, laying amongst a heap of treasure, an excellent 'pact devil'. 3d model by Epic-Miniatures, coin stacks by Metalik Studios.

Finally I offer 'Felix' the faithful, if somewhat incontinent, terrier.

Dogs in 'Devilry Afoot' provide a significant benefit to heroes as they can alert them to threats in the darkness (it's ALWAYS dark in DA), and be a general nuisance to monsters. 

I love the pose of this little fella, especially as, in the game, dogs need to be in base contact with their masters. I thought his pose perfectly lampoons the more posh adventurers who are facing the horrors of 17th century Europe. Fellix, what a good boy!

'Johann' is in 28mm scale, while the Leprechaun could be scored as a 20mm and 'Felix' as 15mm. So, that makes 11 points in total. Nothing to write home about points-wise, but still a lot of fun to get done.

Thanks for dropping by!

This is brilliant dude! I have been keen on "Devilry Afoot" since you had mentioned it, and Johann looks perfect! He WARNED all of those protestant idiots what they would unleash - it would be hell! And not just the hell of war...he has stood against evil, and while he is worn down by his trials, he will continue in his work to rid the world of evil, if for no other reason than to deny any protestants the chance to mark his passing...

The leprechaun is great. I'm sure any "special arrangement" made with him can't be that sinister...the private equity of the 17th century...

After all, Felix will be around to warn his master of trouble. And if that person is not paying attention, Felix is clearly prepared to MAKE his master notice :) 

Wishing you and Sarah the very best on your well-earned vacation in paradise, and looking forward to seeing you here in Toronto!

A lovely and fun eleven points for your tally. Safe travels!
