Background: River boat ride in a rain of plasma...

Our Heroes

  • Morgan (David) - Human Battle-Mage
  • Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling punching-bag (and spy)
  • Faefiel (Elliot) - Cold as ice Elven Targeteer
  • Ragnar (Oliver) - Human Outlaw Chief
  • Flendac (Kris) - Human Master Assassin

Chapter 67

In order to get Morgan trained as a more powerful Wizard we got ourselves passage on a barge going to Nuln.  The next day a heavy storm hit and we stopped at a river side inn to wait it out.

There we got to know some of the locals.  Hank and Karl were arguing over a pair of magic boots; Charles, the shift lawyer, was celebrating his new job but Sarah the assassin was there to make sure he never got to enjoy it.  Morgan seduced one of the barmaids and had a quicky upstairs but Charlene was disappointed by his performance.

The final person we met though was a revelation! Donna was a powerful wizard and part of the garrison protecting Nuln.  She mentioned being able to train Morgan if the financial incentive was good enough or he was able to offer assistance to the city.  While we were trying to hammer out a deal the doors burst open and in rushed a horde of beastmen demanding we hand over the wizard...

Not sure if they were here for Morgan or Donna we commenced battle.  Morgan and Donna tossed lighting into the horde until they were both engaged in melee combat.

One of the beastmen had a gift from the Chaos gods; a plasma gun.  Blasts of green energy shot around the room vaporizing patrons.  Faefiel shot him with an arrow drawing his attention.  The first blast went through the table and was absorbed by her magical leggings; only fate stopped the second from taking her head off.  She drank a healing potion and jumped into melee where it was safer.

Flendac battled the other beastmen leader.  He felled him with a mighty blow after a few rounds of combat.  It seemed fate was on his side as he miraculously survived a plasma bolt to the chest.  

Tayy was as effective in combat as usual.  Shooting arrows from behind the bar everyone of which failed to penetrate the beasts thick hide.

Plasmoid tried a fighting retreat once all his minions were dead but Faefiel shot him through the eye with her expert marksmanship.

None of the beastmen has got past us but as the dust settled Karl and Charles were dead.  Karl's boots were also missing.  Tayy could not tell how Charles had died (well done Sarah).

Hank tried to steal the beastman's magical sword but got shot by Faefiel as well.  We told him the loot was ours as he had not taken part in the battle having just hidden in the kitchen.

As everyone had magic weapons Tayy attuned to the sword.  This gave him fire resistance.  Also three magic swords meaning it is a good job he has a bag of holding to carry everything around in.

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...

WFRP - Rogue Character Progression

Image
    Background In WFRP the designers wanted a different approach to D&D and devised a system of careers.  In First edition characters start with a random career within a broad category such as Warrior or Rogue.  Later editions changed this to just a random roll across all careers.  Each career has a number of predefined career exits allowing you to build up a career path.  Fortunately you can also change to any other basic career should you have rolled badly or progressed into a dead end career. Our goal is to build a rogue as a foppish dandy by day but daring hero by night.  Elves and Halfings are our race of choice (they both have night vision). For combat we want to be using a bow or sling and try to stay at range.  Later on we can get some bolas for entangling opponents and making them easier to finish. Rogue careers start with a mix of social and stealth skills.  Since we have already made the choice not to be a Warrior the best care...
