Chapter 84 ~ Love of my Life

Tayy wanted to head out and recover the gold before Silavan returned however Rubinifa was ruled by the heart and wanted to go and rescue Sarah, his new found love.  There was only one thing we could do - split the party!

Asking around Rubinifa heard that three men has been seen walking towards Serrig with a carpet over their shoulders.  This is the direction the assassins would have to head for returning to Grung Rakadan.

Hiring passage on a barge Rubinifa and Zena headed off east.  As night was approaching the next day they heard shouts and sounds of battle off in the woods.  Jumping ship they went to investigate.  Here they found the Teller assassins, with their prisoner, surrounded by a large greenskin warband trying to negotiate for their lives.

The two humans surprised the Orcs by walking out and negotiating with them.  Rubinifa offered money (almost all he had) in exchange for Sarah.  Bronzino the Orc leader agreed.  He stepped forward and killed the first assassin.  A Goblin stabbed the second (26 damage) and the giant obliterating foot of Gork, or was it Mork, came out of the sky at the Shaman's bidding to finish off the third.

Rubinifa tossed the money on the ground and Bronzino rolled Sarah over to him.  Helping her up the three fled.  Sarah was given a healing potion as she was badly injured and they all made the short journey to Serrig to rest up.

Meanwhile the other three had taken the cart towards Mortensholm to get more bricks.  On the way they met the next delivery for the temple and decided it would be quicker to use those bricks so returened to Kreutshofen.  Next morning they set out with these bricks to the sheltered valley.  

Here Maruge decided to renegotiate the deal demeaning double the amount of bricks previously agreed. Tayy managed to bargain to get 6 pallets of bricks for the 10 they had.  As we headed back to Kreutshofen Tayy removed the gold bars from the pallets of bricks, just in case of an ambush.

Back at the mill we examined our haul.  Each bar was worth about 150 crowns but it would be difficult for us to get the full value for each bar given most people would think they were stolen property.

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 wil...

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...
