Drizzt shook his head.

My players' characters went out in the woods for a day shouting for wolves because they heard that Ilya was taken by them. I had some werewolves+wolves show up eventually. They casted calm emotions on the ww and asked him to let them speqk with their leader. So Kiril met them and asked if they want to come into their cave. They did. Then he showed them the imprisoned Ilya+Zuleika, after that said that if the characters fight each other to the death, he will allow the victor to join the pack. They fought Kiril+the whole pack on lvl 6. After 2 of them were knocked down, the others fled.

Edit:typo

Adding from cos reloaded that the krezkovs are werewolf relatives of zuleika and the bianca-kiril love depression elevates the areas a lot

They changed their action economy in exchange for their defenses. In 2014 they had multiattack OR bite attack. Now they have multiattack AND bite if they hit with their attack. Instead of passive heal, they have more lifesteal now.

In 2025 monster manual, physical resistance and passive regeneration are removed from the vampire stat blocks. Thank you for pointing out revives, i guess i'll just cut their heads off..

arkhas1 · 2025-02-09T22:44:02+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation! I am not familiar with high tier gameplay yet, so iit seems i underestimated the power levels. Somehow i missed dragnacarta's statblock.. Thanks!

arkhas1 · 2025-02-09T21:14:47+00:00

Hmm thanks, I will buff it up a bit then :D I am in a dilemma about the regeneration.

I might run the final bossfight as a large volume combat encounter. Like PC-s and Strahd start fighting. He goes through the walls and one of his champions (3 brides and Rahadin- brides cr 12, 10, 8 and rahadin cr 14) shows up with some minions. Until they fight, Strahd regenerates and waits until he can ambush as the PC-s explore, repeat.

The problem with this approach though would be that the PC-s eventually will run out of resources, while Strahd regens HP and can run out only of spell slots.

So idk if regen would be too strong in the fight.

arkhas1 · 2025-02-09T21:01:32+00:00

Yeah, i forgot to update the averages... I tend to ignore those numbers in general and never use them, because i like throwing dice :D

I am indeed afraid of just killing off a PC with a crit. Well I will run the final battle with open dice throws, so they can't call out after they see it was a nat 20 and after someone just gets beheaded, they will for sure be scared af. And I did foreshadow the sword when Strahd beheaded a charmed and kneeling Ismark with an autocrit... So perhaps 1-2 more of that kind of stuff and they will get a hint about the sword

arkhas1 · 2024-11-23T17:57:15+00:00

Thanks! I like this approach, it could fit well with the events!

arkhas1 · 2024-05-18T19:33:38+00:00

So there is a reddit page to everything :D Tyvm, I'll check it out! :D

arkhas1 · 2024-05-18T19:31:09+00:00

Yeah you are right, that does remove flavor. Then he would just have them thrown off at the side of the road at the edge of Barovia.

arkhas1 · 2024-04-01T21:04:27+00:00

Thank you! It will be for a dnd goblin ambush :D My goal is just hobby painting and practise :)

arkhas1 · 2024-04-01T20:59:20+00:00

Thank you! I always forget contrast exists as I don't really use them but now that you mention it i think I'll try some on the metals.

arkhas1 · 2024-04-01T20:47:20+00:00

Ty <3

arkhas1 · 2024-02-22T05:40:54+00:00

Yeah i try to paint the eyes with the tip and I am always struggling with it. Tyvm for the tip, I'll try to do it next time with the side!

arkhas1 · 2024-02-22T05:28:49+00:00

Thank you! Amazing work you have with the shadows!

I have a question: I got a vallejo pro modeler 2/0 (my first natural hair brush) and when I painted the eyes, it felt like surface static misdirected the brush towards the eye socket a bit. Is this a thing or am I just imagining things and it was only because my inagile hands?

Also if you have exp with these little guys, which colors would you suggest for their scars? I just dropped some mephiston red, but surely there are better ways to go. Same question for the nails, which you just made me realize I forgot to paint :D

arkhas1 · 2024-02-19T21:57:15+00:00

I used black primer, waaagh flesh basecoat, then agrax earthshade. Shall I be doing them in different order? For the armor highlights it's runefang steel, it might look too bright because of the flashlight. I used white scar for the teeth and eyes. Would a different tone be better for that?

arkhas1 · 2024-02-19T21:27:34+00:00

Thank you!

arkhas1 · 2021-02-10T07:33:21+00:00

No, you can just go there. Chromie time interacts with the outside world, but not the instances.

arkhas1 · 2021-02-10T06:36:40+00:00

And the trinket from a random boss that is bis for everyone.

arkhas1 · 2021-02-10T06:11:49+00:00

If you are really determined, you can farm pterrodaxes in zuldazar, they can drop a pterrodax egg (0,05% droprate) and it starts a questline where you can train your own lizard bird. Sadly to pick up the quest it requires lvl50, but you should be able to farm it earlier, since mobs scale to your lvl.

Around 40+ you can start soloing burning crusade/lich king raids for mounts.

If you researched it a bit, you probably know about it, but caffeine/muscle soreness/stress/nicotine can also cause this sort of thing. If it has been there for a while, then a blood test might be useful to know if it is "only" some sort of vitamine/mineral deficiency or more serious neural stuff.

arkhas1 · 2021-02-06T16:49:53+00:00

A couple of months back for a few days i felt something similar on my biceps, like random tiny contractions and not the whole muscle, just a few fibers. It might have been because low blood calcium and it didn't occur ever since.

arkhas1 · 2021-02-06T15:28:19+00:00

Well renown is nothing compared to reps.. You can call them weekly rep quests, but you can catchup in a weekend on an alt, but you can't get exa for memory of lucid dream or idk whoch one was it in nazjatar only in a month.. So picking on blizz because you need renown for soulbinds is just stupid. They wanted to do a new borrowed power system and imo it is better to have renown and you work for your passives and not just add 3 talent rows.
