    • Chapter 90 ~ A new mission and some old foes

    Sitting in the pub musing over only making a single crown for fighting a lich the group were approached by a woman.  She was Petra Druge, whom Flendac had a crush on, and it seemed that local children were going missing and she asked for our help in locating them.

    There was also another group of bounty hunters in town looking for Rubinifer's girlfriend Sarah (it seems the Teller family were not giving up easily on killing her).  We fed them a couple of tales about Orcs killing her or possibly having moved on south.  They left to follow up on possible leads.

    Asking around about the children we managed to get the brewer to offer ten casks as a reward for recovering his son.  Having found a compelling reason to help we went to the field outside town where the children played.

    After waiting around for a few hours we saw Asterellion patrolling the area (we were near the artists colony).  He had not seen anything strange and continuing his patrol.  We were about to give up and go home when a Pegasus flew down and landed in the field!  Kormac tried to approach with a rope to catch the beast but it flew away again.

    Chapter 91 ~ Of Dragons and Pegasus

    Back in the pub a merchant overheard us talking about the Pegasus and said it must be because of the Dragon club moving here from Nuln. Our previous adventures had uncovered a prostitution ring linked to the club and we figured that was worth checking out.

    Jobs were being advertised at the club ready for the grand opening in a weeks time.  Rubinifer got a trial as a bar tender while Hayley and Zena were interested in a more laid back work as hostesses.  Convincing the manager to let them have a quick look around so they new the layout for when they started work Rubinifer sneaked away into the basement.  There is found a woman reading a book.  He tried to get through a locked door but she heard him.  He made up an excuse about having come to get a bottle of wine.  She introduced herself as Inarra.  On hearing his name she asked if he knew Andy Dufranne.  Rubinifa lied and said no.  Which was wise and she continued on about how he was upset that he had been let down by some folk from Krutshofen.

    Kormac, Flendac and Madoc went to the field to watch for the Pegasus; still our best bet as to where the children were going.  After a few hours one landed and Flendac was able to use his ranger skills to get close to the beast and put a rope on it.  At this point one of the children asked for a ride.  Flendac helped him onto the creatures back but before he could grab the rope again it cantered away and then flew off with the child into the mountains...

    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
