We’ll Have What It’s Having

Today, we have a fun follow-up to a recent home-brewed NPC that played out in our last Office Campaign, and how we plan to bring it back into the fold. Grab a napkin and let’s dig in!

Previously, DM Ben 3D-printed and created a scary but misunderstood Flesh Golem residing in our underground Night Hag’s hideout. This creepy Construct was imprisoned (and experimented upon) by the lunatic witch and holed himself up deep in the caverns to escape her.

He calls himself “Ka-Dave-erous” and struck up a truce with the Bastion’s new landlords. After sealing the deal, he sprinted to the High Forest and explained he would “be right back.”

The players’ newest ally desperately missed his beloved foods of the forest, and DM Ben wanted to have him come back to the group with some interesting fresh meat. The party is expecting a large Buck or something to that effect, but DM Ben has other ideas.

Our Flesh Golem friend is eager to impress and goes on a big hunt to restock their Bastion, and its growing list of inhabitants. Thankfully, STL Miniatures had just the 3D print we needed from their slick Butcher Set. Plenty of great scatter terrain in this one, but the animal carcass pile was just what we needed!

Resident painter Kimmy Utah took brush to print here and nailed it. The fallen deer, goose, and bird complemented each other wonderfully. This DnD scatter terrain absolutely looked like a big hunter’s haul.

The other reason we wanted our giddy golem to overdo his spoils was to help the party add a cart back to their inventory. They lost their previous wheels shortly after crossing the Troll Bridge. We’re using another 3D print from STL Miniatures, but this time we’re tapping the Potion Vendor set.

DM Ben wanted something that was more passenger-fitting. The players are sure to ask Ka-Dave-erous where he got the unexpected car, and his reply will be, “I asked nicely but we couldn’t come to terms so…ya know.”

Our Flesh Golem is sure to query the group, “How…how did Dave do?” as he drops fresh animal after fresh animal from his shoulder to their cabin floor! If asked why so much, he’ll reply, “So many mouths to feed and everyone seems very hungry…let’s eat (as he rips an entire thigh off a deer).”

He’ll also explain that the cart is outside and there’s no need to try to find the previous owners. If pressed, he’ll point to his belly and exclaim, “No worries. Nothing wasted.”

And just like that, the party gets a wagon back and a fully stocked basement cellar. See?! Regardless of what players typically think, your DnD Dungeon Master isn’t always out to get you. He simply wants a balanced, fun, and exciting game for all.

Until next time!
