D&D Quest: Session Two


The Party

Arden De Vere, Bard of Apollo: Half Elven Noble who disguises himself as human.
Magrig:  A hulking half Orc Barbarian with a fetish for Axes.

Medrash: Dragonborn Paladin who wants to learn about Druidism.
Kara: Human Scout and sharpshooter.

The Story

We left our heroes fighting the Sea Hags minions.  Magrig charged after the Hag but she was too slippery and was able to escape with the egg of the Merfolk Queen.  She triggered a trap that collapsed the passage way behind her.

The Half-orc turned back to see his friends being battered by the Merrow.  He threw a javelin impaling the monster as it back handed Arden.  Medrash stepped up and smashed his flail into its thick hide and, with the help of a few arrows, it finally toppled to the floor.

During the battle the captive sailors we had rescued fled and we had to search through the caves to find them again.  It then took another hour to clear the passageway and accent to the surface.  Night was falling so we made a campfire to keep the sailors safe.  While doing so strange lights were spotted in the nearby ruins.

Investigating we found the Hag was casting some ritual over the egg.  Arden and Kara, being somewhat more stealthy, positioned themselves nearby as the others advanced.  A sleep spell removed two merfolk archers from combat and others fell to blades and arrows.

This time Magrig was able to engage the Hag and cleaved her with a mighty blow.  She tried to flee, this time without the egg, but a bolt of ice from Fyonar   froze her in place.  Magrig decapitated the shapechanger to he sure she would not return.  The sleeping Merfolk were tied up so we could return them to the tribe now they were no longer under the Hags control.

In the morning we took the queen egg and Merfolk prisoners down to the beach and returned it to Bright Coral and received the gratitude of the Merfolk tribe.  Gathering together the trade goods and sailed we returned on the long march to the city.

 The Mayor was glad to see we had returned and dealt with the monstrous threat although less glad when we demanded our payment in gold.  He grudgingly counted out the coins the safe in his office; even going to far as to pay us some of in silver.  Finally he did admit there were some other troubles nearby we may be able to assist with.

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!

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
