Now, things don’t usually get worse than two bombs going off in your hotel room while you sleep, but you just hold on for a few minutes. On our third outing to find the Black Arrow’s hideout, Gottlieb leads us to the village of Grusligdorf. Inside what passes for a tavern, we find 3 Templars of Sigmar. We just happen to be down 3 horses, but we managed to keep from being all bloodthirsty toward fellow Knights. The tavern at…
We’ve been seeing these wanted posters for someone named The Black Arrow. Whoever Count Amadeus von Drakenberg is, the guy really has it out for the Arrow. We arrived in Swartzmarkt in the afternoon. We decided to take our chances at a place called the Crossed Lances. Inside, a roadwarden told us that the Arrow worked south of here. The Arrow preyed on minor nobles, usually, not merchants. We also heard that there was a boar problem around these parts,…
To The Farm! Something was burning in the distance. Thunder crashed, and lightning struck the temple of Sigmar behind the party. The tracks toward the farm were deep mud. There was no way Kraft could get her cart out to the farm. She stayed behind while the others went to investigate. Rain continued to pour off their wide-brimmed hats and well-used ponchos. It seemed the rain hadn’t stopped this farm from burning to the ground. Every building had been set…
What are some small things that could be hidden in the snuffbox the PCs come across? These are Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay focused, so I have connected them with some salient point of Warhammer in parenthesis. I got some help from gamers on MeWe rounding out my list: Dice/die (Ranald) Earrings (Myrmidia) Salt/spices (Esmeralda) Tiny gems (Grungni) Tiny snake (numbing poison?) (Khaine) Empty Matches/tabacco (Rhya) A puff of fine purple powder which stains the hands and face entirely for at least…
I had a game coming up in which a burglar PC was going to loot a long-unused sitting room. Rather than just point out one thing of interest, I thought I’d have a list of interesting things available for them to choose from. They are Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay focused, so I have connected them with some salient point of Warhammer in parenthesis. I got some help from gamers on MeWe rounding out my list: Gold statuette of a wolf Ulric)….
Finishing Grunwald Lodge First thing in the morning on the night after the events at Grunwald Lodge, Lord Aschaffenberg sends for reinforcements. Until they arrive, everyone else is overworked with guard duties and stepping up to cover the duties of the dead. The characters pretty much have run of the place. Nim was interested in searching the doctor’s quarters, but they were locked. Luckily, he had a new friend who could help him out. Hektor picked the lock, and they…
The resident botanist, Gisela Heilscher, led us into the Drakwald to a set of tall standing stones. We had to leave the battle wagon on the road, but the ogre was there, with the rest of the mercenaries. The stone circle was a grisly scene; one I was used to only seeing in a dark alley. There were definitely human parts and flayed skins. Gottlieb was able to find a trail we followed further into the woods. Have I mentioned…

Here are some lessons I learned running a third edition Warhammer adventure, Eye For an Eye, using first edition rules: Third edition combat does not translate well into first edition combat. If I had legitimately attacked with all of the beastmen at the beginning, the game would have ended there. Also, the players weren’t completely sold on the beastmen attacking in an attempt to get the gate open instead of in an attempt to kill. If I had fewer beastmen,…
Rolfe and Zarkon were at the shrine when the call to dinner came. They saw the captain of the guard, the wagoneer from Ubersreik, and a man from the kennels they hadn’t met all head inside for dinner. The two chatted up the kennel master on the way in. He indicated he had 3 large dogs, and he was preparing them for defense against beastman attack. Kraft and Caius had awakened by the time the rest of the group walked…
