WFRP Chapter 57-58: Great Balls of Fire!


 

Background: Exploring the 'Old World' of Warhammer where the renaissance meets magic.  In Wissenland, where the Grey and Black mountains meet, sits the sleepy trading town of Kreutzhofen but nearby the minions of Chaos plot disruption.

Our Heroes

  • Rubinifa (Rob) - Human Thief
  • Morgan (David F.) - Fire Wizard
  • Flendac (Kris) - Human Swords-master
  • Faefiel (Elliot) - Elven Outlaw
  • Ragnar (Oliver) - Human Bodyguard
  • Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Cook

Chapter 57

Having spent an hour at the Black Eagle discussing options the party split into two groups.  Rubinifa and Flendac stayed in town planning to plant the warp stone on watch commander Lothar Matheus. 

Having met up with Magnus and given him the information about the outlaws Morgan, Ragnar and Faefiel were sent with Sanna and a group of Watchmen in to the Winters Teeth Pass to deal with Gabriel Martinelli outlaw gang.  

As expected the party were accosted by Gabriel Martinelli and his outlaw gang.  A large brawl ensured.  Ragnar and Faefiel had fate on their side as they avoided killing blows.  After a few minutes nearly everyone was bleeding out on the floor.  Gabriel took on Sanna directly and she killed him.  With no watchman left standing Morgan stepped out of the shadows and blasted Sanna with a fireball killing her instantly.

Chapter 58

Meanwhile Tayy joined Rubinifa and Flendac at the pub.  He came up with a plan of baking some donuts for the watch and a special cake for commander Lothar as a way of finding out where his room in the watch house was.  He delivered the donuts that the watchmen enjoyed and managed to persuade Jonus Hoffman to take him to Lothar's room and leave the cake on his desk.

Having been told which room to go to Rubinifa and Flendac sneaked in over the back wall and tried to get through the building using there magical boots of silence.  Unfortunately one of the lieutenants spotted them and they made up a story about looking for the Tray Tayy had delivered the donuts on.  Flendac kept the Lt talking while Rubinifa slipped away and hid the warp stone in Lothar's bed.  The pair then managed to talk their way out of the watch house and promptly returned to the pub.  Where there then recalled having left Tayy in the alley way as a lookout and went back to get him!

The next day the three friends went and found Magnus Wolfclaw and convinced him to check out Lothar's room for evidence of corruption.  He came back later having found a bag of 700 gold crowns and the warp stone!  Momentarily it looked like he was giving us all the gold but it turned out to be only a few crowns each.

Meanwhile Morgan and the others collected the head of Martinelli and headed back to town flush with many coins and new magic items.  On the way back they saw Thomas Lamar heading home! Morgan was able to use he cloak of many faces to disguise himself and was very lucky that Lamar did not see through the illusion (Lamar failed an INT 89 test).

Everyone met back up in the Black Eagle and started discussing what they wanted to do next.  Morgan wanted to learn some new spells but was struggling to thing of who to ask when Tayy piped up with "Mr Morgan sir, the Orcs we met had a Shaman.  Perhaps she could help?".

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.

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
