Random Vampire Appears!

 Hey all! I was going to post the final battle report for our household Rangers of the Shadow Deep campaign, but I lost all the pictures I took of the game. I was certain I put them on my PC but it seems they have vanished. 

A brief summary of the final encounter for those interested in such things without nice pictures. The band of brave Rangers and their loyal companions (minus the dog) scaled the tower to confront the evil that now ruled there. A top the tower they found yet more cultist minions and a soulless vampire queen.

Dean took the lead and with magic sword in hand, struck the immortal monster causing a grievous wound. Emboldened by their comrade, the party surrounded the wounded vampire and Cas dealt the final blow with burning light, scorching the vampire from the living world...

That's it. After the vampire was smacked down in 2 moves by a lucky hit from Dean in the opening turns, the mission wrapped up without incident. Oh sure, bad things happened with far off signal towers casting hexes and reducing what the team could do, but without the vampire there to actually threaten anyone it was easy to deal with the cultists. It was still enjoyable to wrap up the mission and the final episode felt like a hurriedly written conclusion compared to the previous dramas of animal cruelty and injured companions, but that's dice for you.

I did take some pictures of the vampire however, so here's the evil queen for those who came here for pictures.





I was going for a "Queen of the Damned" ancient Egyptian look rather than the traditionally pasty Gothic vampires. Thoughts welcome as ever.
