WFRP Chapter 104 Happy Ending

Summary: At last Ryazan.





Chapter 104 ~ More wilderness travel.
Leaving Obelheim we travelled north toward Uckrofurt.  Rubinifer continued on with the Walton family when we had to fix a loose wheel.  Hurring to catch up with them a group of Ogres and Goblins came out of the trees in an ambush.

Hayley's mount was so startled at the fearsome sight of the Ogres it turned and bolted in Terror in the other direction.  Zena and Rangrim fled with her as well.  Thinking she much have a cunning plan Tayy and Gwyn abandoned the cart and followed after.

By the time Hayley had got control of her mount the Goblins had taken our cart, loaded it up with their human prisoners and headed out of sight.  Easy come easy go it was not as if we had paid for the horse.

Finding a possible camp sight we saw strange Dwarven runes carved into trees and a nearby cottage.  There was no answer when we knocked on the door. Fearful of witches we decided to walk through the night and stumbled into Uckrofurt exhausted.  We slept the day away, and most of the night.  Getting up early to leave for the long walk to Talabheim.  

Hear we met up with Rubinifa who was upset about the lost cart.  Finding passage available on a boar leaving the next day that would take us all the way to Ryazan we just had to get through one night in the busy metropolis.

Getting rooms at a reasonable inn we sat in the bar drinking a few pints listening to the news.  There was a lot of talk about the trouble in Nuln.  A witch hunter had been driving out most folk that did not follow Sigmar.  Of other religions only a few priestesses of Shallya, Goddess of Healing, were left in the city.  We knew they were actually the front of the Slannesh cult and were glad to be heading away from them.  The other news was Rothchild had put a 50 crown bounty on Rubinifer.

Looking around the bar Hayley and Tayy recognised one of her uncles men watching them.  Thinking fast Hayley went over and talked to him.  He offered to forget having seen us for a handful of coins.  Taking out some gold Hayley pretented to offer him the cash but grabbed his hand as he went to take it.  The fangs from venom gloves sunk into his skin and he dropped dead in a few seconds.

Making out he was drunk we took him upstairs and put him "to bed" in his own room.  Taking his money and sword as well as the poison arrows he carried.  He was left face down on his bed with spilled beer making it look like he had died in his sleep.

The following morning we wandered around the shops but there was nothing either interesting, or that we could affort at the magic shop.  After that we spend a couple of days of leisurely travel down the river.  Finally arriving at our destination - Ryazan.

The journey was over and now a new adventure begins...

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.

Arcane Trickster

The Arcane Trickster is my favourite sub-class in Fifth Edition D&D.  It is not the most powerful but is a lot of fun.   Trickster does not need to multi-class but a single level of Wizard gives a big boost with access to all first level spells, ritual casting and we can trade out our known spells for more Second Level options.  Best spot for multi-class is level six but if we have a game where we expect to spend a long time in Tier 1 we can also dip at level 2. Rogues get lots of choice for using a Bonus action and Reaction as we go up levels. Actions: Attack; (3) cast a spell Bonus: Off-hand Attack; (2) Dash; Disengage; Hide; Mage Hand; (13) Versatile Trickster Reaction: (4) Shield ; (5) Uncanny Dodge; (6) Feather Fall ; (17) Spell Thief A trickster wants good Dex and Int as well as Dark Vision, after all it is hard to sneak around carrying a torch.  If we are using point buy that gives us three choices in the PHB - High Elf, Half-Elf and Forest Gnome. Feats/ASI: We are g
