Working on the SENTINELS, and there will be 9 of them. One for each “school of magic” The Dark Enclave employs.

Attached is a rough draft and nearly finalized copy of the written blueprint for each sentinel.

Not shown here today are the Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files featuring the CONCENTRIC CIRCLES and decipherable text in 9 different magical languages. Each of the circle bases is 7 inches in diameter and the ARTWORK is designed to be high-res on 11” x 14” illustration board. Almost all things (research into metals, spells, colors, photo reference, etc.) are ready to roll. The goal for this is to traditionally illustrate as many of these as possible. Those, as well as the RORSHACH blots are coming soon. 

Until then, a NEW ARCANE ALCHEMIST SPELL HAS BEEN ATTACHED! 

Have a magnificent weekend!

This spell causes your enemies’ own shadows to animate and attack them.

A failed save spawns the animation of these SHADOWS. A caster can affect a number of shadows equal to TWO TIMES the experience lever of the caster. So, a 16th-level wizard could cause (up to) 32 SHADOWS to materialize from the targets’ shadows and attack them ferociously and to the death, or up to one hour, which is when these things slink off to the shadow world they came from.

As a DM, you may choose one of these options:

1. Only ONE shadow may form for each potential victim.

2. If there are 10 enemies, and you have a 10th+ level caster, you could create up to 20 shadows. You get the idea.

“This spell is particularly effective against a large group of soldiers. Similar in effectiveness to a lower powered fireball, just not nearly as messy.”

We’ve been researching and experimenting with Sentinels and SERVITORS to create a special Sentinel for the caster. There’s going to be some cool artwork inspired by the (French) artist, Philippe Druillet. These are going to be really cool. Here is a Wiki link, but if you are not familiar with his work, please try a Google IMAGE search to see his incredible artwork.

Also, we are finalizing HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN ‘RORSHACH’ INKBLOTS to create something nasty to spring on your evil enemies. The goal with this is for the creation of these things to be something that can actually be created by someone, and not just a fictional theory. There’s a lot more to it than this, but that is all for now.

Also, the same update is sent to both the KS and the BACKERKIT campaigns. We are including the LINK TO THE KICKSTARTER because YOU CAN STILL BACK AND SUPPORT THIS PROJECT via the KS late pledge feature. Also, we will be using the BACKERKIT tools to help fulfill everything we owe you for both the KS and BK campaigns. Here is the link right here, in case you are interested!

RAID ON KERGARD KEEP

Lords of Wizardry

This is a strong lower-level spell that was stolen from the honorable vampire and undead hunter THAGAN WELBOURNE using the god of light’s inverted sigil, LORD MAGNUSSEN.

The DEMONOLATOR known as ALAMANDER BLACKTONGUE reverse engineered the lawful version of this spell to great effect. He even has the audacity to claim this spell is entirely his own creation. What else do you expect from dealing with evil wizards?

Worry not, however, as this spell can indeed be used in the original, lawful manner, hereby blasting such evil ones is this whacko salamander dude! 

More soon!

RAID ON KERGARD KEEP

Lords of Wizardry

This is a pretty cool lower level spell that allows the caster to manifest a weapon he or she already owns - into their hands. This can be ANY item, but the spell was designed for two main reasons.

Here is the actual text (listed below) found in the MAGNARON grimoire. As mentioned before, we will make an evaluation and lighten up any pages that are a bit too dark or hard to read.

Thanks again! Here’s the text:

This spell instantly materializes a weapon of the caster’s choice in his or her hands by only stating a single verbal magic word.

Stating this magic word in reverse “hides” the weapon as quickly as it came into being. Many magi choose a single-syllable word while even more choose a PALINDROME as their command word. An example of this is the power word SADAS.

You can “hide” any handheld weapon or item, magical or non-magical, but WEAPONS prove to be the most effective. Wizards/Warriors love this spell, as it is not only deadly, but it does not count against one’s encumbrance.

This spell is particularly effective as a SURPRISE ATTACK. Rory The Cleaver once feigned surrender to his foes calling for his capture. As Rory walked to within striking distance, he did just that. Stating aloud his now famous magic command word, SADAS, he materialized his magic axe known as WARCLEAVER and split the skulls of his would-be captors with startling effectiveness.

Late Pledging is still available for this campaign here!
