Just a fun glimpse into the art from the Dungeon Grappling Kickstarter
Here was the sketch I approved from Rick Troula.
And here’s a low-resolution painted version.
So I’m looking forward to getting the art from everyone, and into your hands!
We see action coming out of the manor as we start out. Ten spearmen, a couple of men-at-arms, and a few carts and wagons. We decide to anticipate them heading to Lervin, so we can set an ambush at the bridge (B) from Lervin to Phandalin – the route with the best road. We guess…
