Chapter 65

Cult leader Lamar was dead and Tayy had the bright idea to go raid the warehouse where he stored all the cool tools he had taken when he had killed Morgan's friends.

Heading back through the winters teeth pass with checked in with Maruge and let the Orc's know Hernan could return home.  Arriving in Mortensholm we got ourselves a room at the Winking Tiger inn; popped to the shops to buy some more armour and then headed on over the Lamar warehouse.

Using his magical cloak Morgan strode in pretending to be Thomas Lamar and fooled the men working there.  Then the voice of Mr Van Horst called out for us to come upstairs.  It seems Mr Lamar's mysterious boss was actually at the warehouse!

Things did not look good as Van Horst got the drop on us summoning eldritch horrors and blasting lighting bolts into the group.  Faefile ran out the room to drink a potion while the others killed the horrors.  

Brave Tayy charged forward to engage the wizard in melee but took a pair of lighting bolts to the face!  It seemed Van Horst hated halflings as even when everyone else was attacking him, and Tayy could not hurt him, he spent most of his time hacking at the plucky halfling trying to kill him!  Finally Ragnar managed to land a blow on the Wizard ending the first encounter.

Tayy was left with a bloody gash across his head making it hard to see but he still kept swinging about with his magical sword hacking down more cultists that had ran into the room to aid their boss.  In some bizzare twist the psychotic hobbit took out more cultists than anyone else!  Searching the building we found a small cache of magical loot and some coin.

Setting the warehouse ablaze we staggered back to the Winking Tiger.  Here we paid Bowser the barman for discretion and a doctor.  After three days of medical attention Morgan was able to use his minor healing spells as a cure all.

Feeling favored by the gods for having finally wiped out a chaos cult, and leaving a gap in the local economy, we were ready to travel once again.

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
