Tonight's Exalted session was a bit odd. I can't quite put my finger on what made it odd, though. Partly, I think it's that the group didn't react quite the way I expected to the Giant Stone Automaton. The fight with the Sandstorm Walkers went okay, though. The critters didn't inflict a whole lot of damage, but it was still an interesting fight, I think. They didn't ambush as effectively as I thought they might - I guess more people in the group have charms that react to surprised attacks than I though. Ah, well. The automaton is my newest piece of art, but the sandstorm walker picture is actually really old - September 2002. It was originally going to be something else, but it got cut from the game. I repurposed it for another encounter, but that part of the scenario kept getting pushed further and further into the future. Good to finally get to use the critter, at least.

I really like the Automaton, and not just because it has a cool name :)

I really liked the Sandstorm Walkers - great idea for a monster. I agree - it was an interesting fight.

I'm looking forward to the next session and seeing whether we can do anything with/about the mysterious Giant Stone Automaton.

I wonder what happened with the Automaton after I left? I know Incarnadine always likes to press on. ;)

I'm not sure what we should have done differently. I bet it was one of those cases wherein we were supposed to show a lot more caution and exploration than we did. I find whenever I plan for something like that in my Ravenloft game it NEVER goes that way. A couple of sessions I had planned for a lot of plotting and scheming on the group's part but it never happened. (I thought you guys liked to quibble over the details for hours! ;)
