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! 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.

Tyranid Etymology

Image
The Tyranid Threat Since our first sporadic contacts with Genestealers there have been many misconceptions associated with them. We first thought they were indigenous to the moons of Ymgarl, later this was determined to be in err and subsequently a xenocide campaign was conducted on said moons. When the Tyranid hivefleets came upon the Imperium, the creatures were named in relation to the first notable plant to fall before their advance, the exploratory station of Tyran. – Draco Legion Biomedical Reserch station: NewHallefuss Origin of the Species Most of the Tyranid organisms in the Warhammer 40k universe have been given Latin or Greek names. This makes them sound more exotic and fits with the general use of Latin by the Imperium. I can not really take credit, beyond compilation, for this etymology as it is all taken from other websites, particually Wiktionary. Biovore – This suffix comes from the Latin vorare (to devour), and is used to form nouns indicating what kind of
