Look like a cute koala bear / meerkat hybrid until it reveals its bloodthirsty intentions. And when it gets hold of the paladin in full plate and absorbs the metal… Mama Mia 🙄

I know I’m fairly late to the party but the quality of the play material, & the amount that you get in the box for the new #dnd Heroes of the Borderlands is staggeringly amazing
Everything you need, from equipment, dice, handouts, NPCs, Monster cards
No DM screen though but it hasn’t stopped the fun

It’s been sat n a shelf since Christmas, so today we’re cracking it open and heading into the Borderlands, with the Tabaxi Sorcerer, Flame of the Spirit of the Mountain Desert Clan (thankfully Flame for short) & my boy, Dikytis “Stuttter” Twinklehoofs with some of the pre-made PCs for support

Charged with a quest from the Wizards Three
To find a Rod that is split & lost to history
Can our heroes discover the broken parts
As the fear of Vecna runs cold in their hearts

Convergence of Whispers continues

Cries for help ring out against the dark
An ancient beast seeks to feed upon it’s mark
Local fishermen scream as the creature attacks
As our heroes ready their crossbows & axe

Frozen depths & frozen deaths await

We left the gameplay on a combat cliffhanger with the discovery of a fishing boat under attack from a beast from the depths
Sven shouting “For honour & Valhalla” ⚔️
And Mouse crying “Oh b*ll*cks!” 🙄

Well, after the #dnd session with @flittertail.bsky.social & @claretnblue27.bsky.social yesterday, it’s become quite clear that eyes will need to be kept on the pair of them 👀
(AND can we all please stop blaming Mouse for everything??)

I think cutting off all the sails, setting fire to the ship to cause a distraction whilst forgetting about the gunpowder for the cannons and then trying to blame the captain’s parrot, Mr Beaky, as the pyromaniac responsible has to be up there

So…
This Northman, a Halfling & an Eladrin walk into a bar
The tavern keeper looks up at them and says
“Is this some type of joke?”

Witnessing a mother’s birth to her tiny sabre cub
Following a trek through tundra with the Dale Conservation Club
Now the determined Bard must protect her from men’s greedy eyes
As fur wrapped hunters clamber to claim their prize

The frozen town of Targos looms
As the Eladrin bard approaches out of the gloom
Zhentarin mercenaries eye her with caution & mistrust
As Koryanna’s search for answers becomes a must

Stood before the acclaimed Wizards Three
The Platinum Accords listen most intently
As the tale of the fate of the multiverse
And the evil behind Lord Vecna’s curse
Our heroes eyes grow sad & dismayed
As past events in this plan they’ve played

Otyughs (Otyughi?)
Weirdly freakish, guarding rotting corpses, using telepathic lures to make the party come closer so it can grapple them and munch down on their sweet soft flesh
What makes them tick?
Born from eggs or do they just plop into existence?

First game session of the year
Which the DM has called The Beginning of the End
We are all apprehensive about the final campaign arc of the Convergence of Whispers
So gather your wits, swash your buckles & get ready for the inevitable

Happy 2026 everyone
And the best way to kickstart a New Year is by celebrating a Birthday (mainly mine!)
