Chapter 59

 Having collected the money we were owed from the Tavern we decided to combine our plans and get a second barrel as well as look to trade some Spells for Morgan.  Our journey through the pass was easy.  On the way we saw Hernan who paid us 30 gold to bring him tobacco.

Having reached the Orcs Maruge, the Shaman, was not keen to trade more wine.  She was wanting Elf bows.  Then she asked for almost as much money as we were going to sell the barrel for! With some persuasion Tayy was able to convince here to sell for a more reasonable price giving a promise that next time we would return with Elven bows when we wanted wine.

Morgan and Maruge talked about magic and showed off spells to each other.  Maruge tried three times to get a fear spell to work on Ragnar and Tayy before they finally ran away.  It did not seem like a good spell!  Eventually she agreed to teach Morgan a new spell for 300 gold.

As we returned to Kreutzhofen we passed Hernan who saw the barrel and wanted the wine.  Morgan said he would bring some with the tobacco tomorrow.  As we continued down the pass four bandits also asked for the wine.  Tayy suggested they might want the other stuff Morgan had got today.  They said "yes" and Morgan unleashed his new spell! The lightning strike killed two so the others surrendered giving us a small boost in funds.  Back at town we went and got Ragnar some armour from the blacksmiths.

The next day as we were packing up the cart Silavan came to talk to Morgan.  He was upset that Greeg had still not sold the property he required.  This time he was very forceful and hired the group for a permanent solution to his problems.  We delivered the tobacco and barrel of beer to Hernan but it was a bit of struggle to get him to pay for the alcohol.  Morgan was just able to break even with the few coins Hernan payed.

Returning to town Morgan used his magic cloak of disguise to look like a tradesman and found out the location of Greeg's house which we went to investigate.  The house now had armed guards, two at each door.  There was a stable outside and we came up with a quick plan of returning at night, burning down the stable and then assassinating Greeg in the confusion.

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
