WFRP Chapter 77: The End

Background: Escaping from the city when things go wrong.

Our Heroes

  • Hayley (Elliot) - Human Mistress of Magic
  • Madoc (David) - Human Friar of Manann [Poseidon]
  • Flendac (Kris) - Human Master Assassin
  • Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Trainee Assassin 
  • Zena (Oliver) - Human Artillerist
  • Rubinifer (Rob) - Human Outlaw Chief



Chapter 77 ~ Day Three

Zena completed her training to become an Artillerist and with increased mental fortitude was able to attune to all the three rings she had acquired from Morgan.

An acolylte of Mann knocked on the door of our lodgings and asked us to come meet with Adam Peaty.  Once there Adam told us about the brutal murders at the Dogs Bark and that watch commander Tyson Fury, supported by Boris Becker, was looking for the culprits.  Apparently a halfing and friends were seen leaving the bar and a Becker had put up 500 crown reward!

He also introduced us to Madoc a friar from the far flung edge of the Empire who was traveling the waterways of his god.  Adam told us Madoc could help us in our battle against chaos.  We outlined what was happening and how Klopp and Becker seemed to be involved in a cult.  We were very clear in our description that Hans shot first in the bar not us.  For a small donation Madoc organized a dormitory for us to stay in so we could hide from the watch.

With Tayy in hiding the rest of the gang went back to Rickard's armory to see if there was anything to buy.  rubinifa wanted to get one of Tayy's old swords but at almost three times the value Tayy got for it it was out of his price range.  Flendac did get everyone to club together to buy Madoc magical leather armour.  When Madoc put it on he found it was even more potent than the blacksmith thought as it also increased his initiative.

The gang bumbled around town for a bit but having no motivation to continue with the quest of stopping tax law changes they returning to the dormitory and the nice meal Tayy had prepared.  There we stayed until we were able to flee the city amongst the large crowds who gathered for the festival.

Chapter 77 ~ Day Eight

With the festival in full swing the gang left, with our tail between our legs, and returned to Kreutshofen.  At Rubinifer's bidding we abandoned Andy and our plans for a fake assassination.

It is a funny old world.  We only came to Nuln to get Morgan trained because Faefiel would not give up her magical bow.  A month later they are both dead and the bow is for sale in Rickard's shop.  As a new mistress of magic Hayley wants training but does not have enough money to buy the bow.  Putting us right back where we started.  Perhaps we will come back at some point, after all there are some good shops, once Hayley has more gold.

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...
