Traveling Cure Wounds

Greetings, fellow medical residents. We have a lifesaving DnD blog post today, so hop off that trusty wagon and start chest compressions. We’re running out of valuable time!

Sometimes, no matter how good the healing spell or potion is, you need to call in a medic to save the day. DM Ben doesn’t want restoring hit points or saving a vital character or NPC to always be a stale, ho-hum experience. So, why not put in a little effort and have your 3D printer save the day?

We’re doing a delightful miniature-and-scatter-terrain combo here, with both of today’s fab STLs by STL Miniatures. Even cooler, they’re from two different slick sets, which shows how modular their sets can be. We’ll start with a wounded commoner from their Injured Villagers Set.

Resident painter Kimmy Utah colored all our models today, as we were consumed with a larger Tomb Thursday project when we 3D-printed today’s pieces many moons ago. Her use of color reminds us to incorporate more black into our paint jobs. Those pants and boots look so good! We also peruse our display cases and use Kimmy’s final miniatures and scatter terrain to energize and rescue us when we get paralyzed by color palette syndrome.

Next up, we have churned out this fantastic first-aid wagon from STL Miniatures’ Battlefield Medic Set. There are quite a few pieces here to really liven up the scene, but we’ll just focus on the main means of transport.

Here is the final medical wagon in all its wooden, rumblin’ glory! You’ll notice in the rendering image above that we lost a lantern, but that’s just the cost of doing bit-ness. Also, the big tarp on the back is actually done, but we forgot to bring it in for the pics today. We intentionally kept it separate vs. gluing it down because we wanted the flexibility to use it in other scenes.

Next, let’s talk about some potential scenario themes to build an encounter around our latest Star Trek replicator pieces.

Our medical team could be called upon after:

• a violent monster raid.
• an unexpected assassination attempt.
• a sudden plague overcomes the town.
• a VIP gets injured and needs an escort to the city.

Or, this roving medical unit is simply driving by at an opportune time. These healers literally travel the roads of The High Forest to offer aid in exchange for some monetary compensation. It’s a living (pun intended).

Next week, we’ll add two more majestic miniatures to round out this traveling medical unit. DM Ben is especially thrilled about this completed operating room on wheels because it means our cart collection will only keep growing.

• Animal Transport Wagon.
• Cargo Wagon.
• Covered Wagon.
• Fish Cart.
• Fire Wagon.
• Medical Wagon (today’s post).
• Potion Vendor.
• Prisoner Wagon.
• Travel Cart.

Until next time!
