This week
The Mother took
the sprite off camping for the latter part of the week, while I stayed home with the other two. I took a couple days off from work and mainly just hung around the house, catching up on a few things, enjoying the pool for a change, having a little peach bellini during the day and just generally relaxing. One of the things that we decided to do with our newfound free time was to build out a
giant-ass Heroscape map—
you remember our love of
Heroscape, right?—
and have one of our crazy 2-vs-1 games, thus monopolizing the dining room table for days, if not weeks. Here’s the map:
And here’s the pitched battle betwixt the demon horde that my eldest brought to bear (complete with custom demonlord that they’re testing out) and the righteous warriors that
the Smaller Animal and I put together to combat it. The demons have taken out most of us, but you can see one remaining
templar cavalryman and his knight leader
Sir Gilbert (from my middle child’s army) right in the demonlord’s face, while the only two guys I have left are that awesome angel
Raelin at the top of the hill, providing her divine blessings from a safe distance, and you can just make out the back of
Van Nessing, the monster hunter, helping the rest of the templars take on those
death knights and
mezzodemons.
It was a pretty epic battle, and it still ain’t over yet, but I think the forces of good, though having incurred serious losses, will eventually carry the day. That giant-ass demon guy is down to one life left.
Anyways, that’s all for now. More exciting stuff next week. Probably.
