Table Manners

Our Night Hag cabin encounter is getting closer to fruition so today we’re picking out a key scatter terrain piece for her creepy basement. Buckle up, buttercups!

STL Miniatures lends us a table leg (or four as it were) from their fun Alchemist Set. This evil work surface has all the elements needed for our evil enchantress’ basement. This DnD blog post also highlights the wonderful diversity of the STL Miniatures sets. We’re always mixing and matching our 3D-printed pieces.

We’ve already printed out numerous STLs from this particular potion set and look forward to sharing them (especially the main mini) with you once Kimmy Utah does her own painting wizardry.

In case you missed it, our work campaign has an upcoming Night Hag encounter where the party is investigating the mysterious disappearance of multiple Waterdeep children citizens (including young Shamus McHook and Adrik Promentory). The group has pinpointed her well-guarded location in The High Forest and now has several sidequests in hand to complete their rescue.

Our Night Hag’s cabin basement workbench contains all the subtle details that spell trouble including some spell scrolls, arcana books, a skull, an inkwell, a sprinkling of salt, and some sorta of voodoo doll we’re too afraid to touch.

This particular resin print on our Mars Pro 3 was a smidge wobbly so we decided to stabilize it with a base to ensure there were no balancing shenanigans during gameplay. Don’t be afraid to base your iffy scatter terrain printed pieces to ensure they live a nice long game life.

DM Ben has drawn out all the elements in this spooky basement but the visual is coming together in his RPG head. He’s bypassing traditional, creaking stairs because he doesn’t want to risk any escapes.

• Locked floorboard Trap Door (underneath a rug mimic)
• Workbench/desk surface
• Boiling kettle
• Plexiglass holding pen
• Another mimic monster in waiting

This is a witch’s lair after all so why wouldn’t she just cast a simple Feather Fall spell to stick the 15-foot landing to the second level of her cabin and a Levitate spell to pop back up to the main floor? The lock on the trapdoor is a DC 12 to open (or via its key).

That mimic basement guard just might be a storage trunk but we’re still perusing our mini options. So did we miss anything that would make this dark, dank cellar even spookier? Share your ideas on Instagram with us! DM Ben is looking forward to showing you the final rooms of the cabin in the coming weeks!
