Chapter 64

Being unable to find more armour in town our three heroes returns to the pass to try and make sure that the mercenary company hired by Silavan would actually battle Thomas Lamar and his chaos warband rather than aiding them.  We checked in with Maruge and her clan to make sure we had a location to flee to should things go wrong and then made our way to the pass.

Around lunchtime we saw Lamar and his men coming towards Dutch and his mercenaries.  From our hiding place Ragnar shot a few arrows at Lamar's men.  Lamar responded with a Fireball into the mercenaries which initiated the large fight we wanted.

Tayy and Ragnar picked off a few cultists with arrows while Morgan just tossed lighting bolts killing six and leaving just Lamar facing Dutch and a dozen men. 

With Lamar injured by a couple of critical hits from Dutch we saw an opportunity.  Morgan and Ragnar charged into melee shouting out to Dutch they were coming to help.  Using the magical ring Morgan teleported Tayy into position to get a surprise attack on Lamar but sadly his dagger barley penetrated the skin.

Lamar killed Dutch and the last of his men before turning towards our heroes.  Looking to take out the weakest opponent first he slashed at Tayy.  Who dodge the first blow and, thanks to all the magic items he had, survived the next two hits. Tayy stabbed back which Lamar instinctively dodged.

This left him unable to defend from the others; Morgan got a massive blow on Lamar's back with magically empowered fists leaving Lamar seriously wounded.  This was the opening Ragnar needed as he brought Foe-cleaver, his magic axe, down severing Lamar's sword arm!  Blood spurting everywhere.  Finally this legend died.

Searching the bodies the three survivors each got over one hundred gold crowns.  Ragnar got the most powerful magical breastplate in the empire (or at least this game) while Tayy got Swift-reaper a magical sword giving his extra strength and attacks.  If he can hit someone, which is still unlikely with 28% WS, he can now deal as much damage as an average man!

Covered in blood the victorious trio spend the night in Hernen's cave where Tayy washed all of there clothes.  Returning to town Tayy was then able to order custom made armour with his new found riches.  It is hard to find a breast plate in extra small.

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!

WFRP 1st Edition Advanced Careers Chart

Image
  Warhammer Fantasy Role Play has always had an interesting system with using careers as a way for characters to advance in the game.  With over sixty basic careers they is a lot of options that players can have for their character. When you then move on into all the Advanced Careers there is a lot of options.  Coming back to the game I wanted to know what routes were available to get from which advanced career to another. As no chart existing I created one including key Characteristics that are available. Key Rectangles show Advanced Careers while ovals are Basic Careers.  I have shaded in those careers that cannot be reached from other Advanced Careers.  Given the Magical careers do not really connect with the others I left them off the diagram. The Highwayman, Duelist, Assassin and Outlaw Chief form four corners of our diagram with the Mercenary Captain as the central hub.  This allows for characters to move round the majority of advanced careers without ever having to go back to a

TourPlay Redrafting Guide

Blood Bowl Redrafting  A quick guide for redrafting teams using TourPlay for League tracking When your team has been submitted to join the league you can see at the top of the screen a message saying the team is redrafting and all the players are greyed out with a warning triangle at the start. Your team value should show zero and your treasury be 1,300,000 gold.  If either of these are not the case then STOP and contact an admin before continuing with redrafting. When you select each player you are given the option of hiring them again.  You can see the cost to rehire, including agency fee, shown below the players value.  If you elect to Fire a player TourPlay will ask for confirmation but once you say yes that player is gone.  There is no way to bring them back! When you hire a player the system will roll to see if any Niggling Injuries are healed. Players cost an extra 20k to rehire for each previous season they have played.  If you rehire five players after one season that will lea
