Chapter 59

 Having collected the money we were owed from the Tavern we decided to combine our plans and get a second barrel as well as look to trade some Spells for Morgan.  Our journey through the pass was easy.  On the way we saw Hernan who paid us 30 gold to bring him tobacco.

Having reached the Orcs Maruge, the Shaman, was not keen to trade more wine.  She was wanting Elf bows.  Then she asked for almost as much money as we were going to sell the barrel for! With some persuasion Tayy was able to convince here to sell for a more reasonable price giving a promise that next time we would return with Elven bows when we wanted wine.

Morgan and Maruge talked about magic and showed off spells to each other.  Maruge tried three times to get a fear spell to work on Ragnar and Tayy before they finally ran away.  It did not seem like a good spell!  Eventually she agreed to teach Morgan a new spell for 300 gold.

As we returned to Kreutzhofen we passed Hernan who saw the barrel and wanted the wine.  Morgan said he would bring some with the tobacco tomorrow.  As we continued down the pass four bandits also asked for the wine.  Tayy suggested they might want the other stuff Morgan had got today.  They said "yes" and Morgan unleashed his new spell! The lightning strike killed two so the others surrendered giving us a small boost in funds.  Back at town we went and got Ragnar some armour from the blacksmiths.

The next day as we were packing up the cart Silavan came to talk to Morgan.  He was upset that Greeg had still not sold the property he required.  This time he was very forceful and hired the group for a permanent solution to his problems.  We delivered the tobacco and barrel of beer to Hernan but it was a bit of struggle to get him to pay for the alcohol.  Morgan was just able to break even with the few coins Hernan payed.

Returning to town Morgan used his magic cloak of disguise to look like a tradesman and found out the location of Greeg's house which we went to investigate.  The house now had armed guards, two at each door.  There was a stable outside and we came up with a quick plan of returning at night, burning down the stable and then assassinating Greeg in the confusion.

Blood Bowl Inducement Review

Blood Bowl Inducement Review As most of the inducement options from Death Zone are allowed in LBBL games I thought it was worthwhile providing a summary of what is available.  I have also added a quick colour code to say if I think the options are Good , Bad or Situationally useful.  Remember as per the League handbook you must bring along an official copy of the relevant rulebook for any Inducement you are using.  This guide is intended to be used to help you decided if you want to buy a copy of Death Zone not as a replacement for it.  Remember folks we get an extra 5% off at Geek Retreat on League night! Death Zone offers (In)Famous Coaching Staff, new Wizards, Named Referees and a small number of other cheap options for using up petty cash.   0-2 (In)famous Coaching Staff Galandril Silverwater 40,000 gp Elven Kingdoms Extra Cheerleaders and a minimal chance of extra Team Re-rolls if that kick off event happens.  I will pass thank you.

Death Zone 2020 - A Review

Image
    Once again we have a beautifully produced full colour book that is slightly marred by the lack of proof reading.  Almost everything in the book is a reprint of the 2016 content updated to use the new team special rules.  There are little things such as Ranulf the Ref still having to "roll higher than the AV of the player" even though the main rule book changes AV 7 to be AV 8+ being everyone else is having to roll equal to AV.  Then we have the new Mercenary rules where the Elf starts with AG 2+ but can increase this by 2 to AG 0+ when AG 1+ is the max allowed!!? New Inducements This section takes all the inducements printed in the old Death Zone and Spike journals and updates them to use the new team special rules.  Instead of being taken by an Orc or Dwarf team they are now Badlands Brawl or Worlds Edge.  This expands which teams can take them.  Some of the inducements have had minor alterations and there are a couple I have not seen before.

Arcane Trickster

The Arcane Trickster is my favourite sub-class in Fifth Edition D&D.  It is not the most powerful but is a lot of fun.   Trickster does not need to multi-class but a single level of Wizard gives a big boost with access to all first level spells, ritual casting and we can trade out our known spells for more Second Level options.  Best spot for multi-class is level six but if we have a game where we expect to spend a long time in Tier 1 we can also dip at level 2. Rogues get lots of choice for using a Bonus action and Reaction as we go up levels. Actions: Attack; (3) cast a spell Bonus: Off-hand Attack; (2) Dash; Disengage; Hide; Mage Hand; (13) Versatile Trickster Reaction: (4) Shield ; (5) Uncanny Dodge; (6) Feather Fall ; (17) Spell Thief A trickster wants good Dex and Int as well as Dark Vision, after all it is hard to sneak around carrying a torch.  If we are using point buy that gives us three choices in the PHB - High Elf, Half-Elf and Forest Gnome.
