WFRP Chapter 102: Breaking Point

Summary: Picking up pioneers as we travel north.


Chapter 102 ~ Moving North.
Having met up with the rest of our friends we decided to give up on going to Nuln and changed our plans.  The best way to travel to Ryazan looked to heading north to Talabheim and then taking the river to our final destination. Taking our new cart and horses we all headed north travelling through Vigaun and then on to Worden the following day.

Hear there were two inns the Lovely Inn and the Old Inn.  We got a room at the later but it was very expensive five crowns rather than the two we had paid the night before in Vigaun.  Talking with other patrons and we ate the poor quality stew they told us armed med had turned them away from the Lovely Inn and paid them come to this one.

Seeing an opportunity to gain some coins we wandered over to the other establishment.  Four armed men warned us off and paid us five crowns to go to the other inn.  Taking the cash and leaving we looped around to the other side.  Here Rubinifa and Tayy sneaked into the tavern while Gwyn and Zena earned another five crowns for not going any further!


Inside Tayy and Rubinfa had the best beer and pie they had eaten in ages.  The owner, Jason Walton, said he was having problems with Nathan Rothchild the owner of the other inn who wanted his daughters hand in marriage and she had refused.

Tayy made an offer for him to relocate his family and brewery business to Ryazan.  He was interested but wanted us to go and get the Countess, who was resting at the other inn, to talk about it more.

As we were leaving Rothchild and a dozen men arrived.  With Tayy hiding Rubinifa faced them alone. With bluff and brash candour he convinced Rothchild he would bring Elizabeth to him at dawn once he had explained the limited options to the family.  Rothchild and his men left promising to kill Rubinifa if he double crossed them (which is of course what he immediately did).

Returning inside he told Jason what had happened and the the family immediately packed up what they could carry and left the city.  Returning to the other inn we also left in the middle of the night.  Our two groups med up outside the city and we all hurried north travelling through the dark to Potting and then, having changed the horses, on to Tarshof.  Here we finally had to stop to get some rest as everyone was exhausted.  Would we be able to get to Talabheim before Rothchild, or Mitchell, found us?  Only time will tell...

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
