Chapter 84 ~ Love of my Life

Tayy wanted to head out and recover the gold before Silavan returned however Rubinifa was ruled by the heart and wanted to go and rescue Sarah, his new found love.  There was only one thing we could do - split the party!

Asking around Rubinifa heard that three men has been seen walking towards Serrig with a carpet over their shoulders.  This is the direction the assassins would have to head for returning to Grung Rakadan.

Hiring passage on a barge Rubinifa and Zena headed off east.  As night was approaching the next day they heard shouts and sounds of battle off in the woods.  Jumping ship they went to investigate.  Here they found the Teller assassins, with their prisoner, surrounded by a large greenskin warband trying to negotiate for their lives.

The two humans surprised the Orcs by walking out and negotiating with them.  Rubinifa offered money (almost all he had) in exchange for Sarah.  Bronzino the Orc leader agreed.  He stepped forward and killed the first assassin.  A Goblin stabbed the second (26 damage) and the giant obliterating foot of Gork, or was it Mork, came out of the sky at the Shaman's bidding to finish off the third.

Rubinifa tossed the money on the ground and Bronzino rolled Sarah over to him.  Helping her up the three fled.  Sarah was given a healing potion as she was badly injured and they all made the short journey to Serrig to rest up.

Meanwhile the other three had taken the cart towards Mortensholm to get more bricks.  On the way they met the next delivery for the temple and decided it would be quicker to use those bricks so returened to Kreutshofen.  Next morning they set out with these bricks to the sheltered valley.  

Here Maruge decided to renegotiate the deal demeaning double the amount of bricks previously agreed. Tayy managed to bargain to get 6 pallets of bricks for the 10 they had.  As we headed back to Kreutshofen Tayy removed the gold bars from the pallets of bricks, just in case of an ambush.

Back at the mill we examined our haul.  Each bar was worth about 150 crowns but it would be difficult for us to get the full value for each bar given most people would think they were stolen property.

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.

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
