Lord Downey : The current head of the Assassins' Guild

Lord Downey, drawn by Paul Kidby.

  The first player game piece is done.  Lord Downey of the Assassins' guild.  I went for darker colours, but still wanted to give him a pleasant look (best look for an assassin).  I am not happy with the shine on the coat, I tried using some matte varnish but to no avail.

"The doors are locked. The windows are barred. The dog does not appear to have woken up. The squeaky floorboards haven't. I really doubt that you are a ghost, and gods generally do not announce themselves so politely. You could, of course, be Death, but I don't believe he bothers with such niceties. Besides, I'm feeling quite well." Lord Downey, The Hogsfather by Terry Pratchett

In the last game of "Guards Guards" the highlight was amazing.  It was a close game, all players were just one spell away from victory.  Suddenly a dragon appears in the assassins' quarter...right where Joseph needs to be.  Joseph sends six volunteers to fight the dragon, with their combined attack power he only needs to roll a 3+ (on a die 8)....he gets a 2, the dragon then goes on to eat every last volunteer.
