WFRP Chapter 90+91: Beautiful Boy

 Summary: Who has been kidnapping the children?

Our Heroes

  • Madoc (David) - Human Friar of Manann [Poseidon]
  • Hayley (Elliot) - Human Duelist
  • Kormac (Michael) - Elven Sailor
  • Zena (Oliver) - Insane Human Artillerist
  • Rubinifer (Rob) - Human Outlaw Chief
  • Flendac (Kris) - Human Master Assassin



    • Chapter 90 ~ A new mission and some old foes

    Sitting in the pub musing over only making a single crown for fighting a lich the group were approached by a woman.  She was Petra Druge, whom Flendac had a crush on, and it seemed that local children were going missing and she asked for our help in locating them.

    There was also another group of bounty hunters in town looking for Rubinifer's girlfriend Sarah (it seems the Teller family were not giving up easily on killing her).  We fed them a couple of tales about Orcs killing her or possibly having moved on south.  They left to follow up on possible leads.

    Asking around about the children we managed to get the brewer to offer ten casks as a reward for recovering his son.  Having found a compelling reason to help we went to the field outside town where the children played.

    After waiting around for a few hours we saw Asterellion patrolling the area (we were near the artists colony).  He had not seen anything strange and continuing his patrol.  We were about to give up and go home when a Pegasus flew down and landed in the field!  Kormac tried to approach with a rope to catch the beast but it flew away again.

    Chapter 91 ~ Of Dragons and Pegasus

    Back in the pub a merchant overheard us talking about the Pegasus and said it must be because of the Dragon club moving here from Nuln. Our previous adventures had uncovered a prostitution ring linked to the club and we figured that was worth checking out.

    Jobs were being advertised at the club ready for the grand opening in a weeks time.  Rubinifer got a trial as a bar tender while Hayley and Zena were interested in a more laid back work as hostesses.  Convincing the manager to let them have a quick look around so they new the layout for when they started work Rubinifer sneaked away into the basement.  There is found a woman reading a book.  He tried to get through a locked door but she heard him.  He made up an excuse about having come to get a bottle of wine.  She introduced herself as Inarra.  On hearing his name she asked if he knew Andy Dufranne.  Rubinifa lied and said no.  Which was wise and she continued on about how he was upset that he had been let down by some folk from Krutshofen.

    Kormac, Flendac and Madoc went to the field to watch for the Pegasus; still our best bet as to where the children were going.  After a few hours one landed and Flendac was able to use his ranger skills to get close to the beast and put a rope on it.  At this point one of the children asked for a ride.  Flendac helped him onto the creatures back but before he could grab the rope again it cantered away and then flew off with the child into the mountains...

    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...
