Chapter 80 ~ Living in the Moment

Sarah Beaumont the assassin we had met on our travels to Nuln came looking for Morgan.  It turned out the Teller family were clearing house and she was being hunted and looking for protection.  We arranged for her to go with Dagmar and help out our friendly outlaws with her skills.

Next we visited Asterellion at the artist colony to find out if he had been able to deal with Gobbo the Great and his Elven follower.  It turned out they had not and Tayy was able to convince one of the war dancers to offer us 200 crowns should we success and bring these Elves the heads of their enemy as proof.  Tayy was also able to spend more time with Flora who agreed she could train him in her artistic talent (forgery).

Returning to the Black Eagle we were only half way through our second pint when the trio of Teller assassins arrived.  Tayy spotted the bolas they had around their waste and expensive looking leather armour.  Clearly people not to tangle with unless Flendac was around.

They started asking around about Sarah offering gold.  Even after they had got confirmation we knew something they were reluctant to give us any coin.  In the end Tayy was able to negotiate to get aid for Hayley in her training to become a duelist.

The next morning we met up at the training ground outside the city.  Tayy arrived with freshly baked lemon curd muffins for everyone.  After two hours of training Hayley was confident in her career choice.  We led the trio to Weilerberg were we could see the half built keep Dagmar was constructing.  Hiding in the woods we watched expecting to see the men slaughtered.  Unfortunately it seemed the outlaws were occupied elsewhere.

Madoc was spotted by the departing assassins.  He made up some excuses about collecting herbs but it was clear they thought he was doing other activities alone in the woods.  Fortunately as no one else was seen the men left without provoking a fight.

Having eaten our cucumber sandwiches and muffins we took a lazy walk up to the Winters Teeth pass and chatted to some of the traders.  The convoy of La Mar wagons was accompanied by several soldiers.  The bandits and Gobbo were still active but had not been spotted today.  We finished the day talking to Lt. Kurt von Strom at the watch house.  He had been promoted after the recent purge.  In conversation he confirmed the watch had been looking for bandits but not found them. His other concern was marital problems with his wife of six years.  Tayy offered to bake a special cake to help smooth out the troubles and was rewarded by making a new contact for his growing network of spies.

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.

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
