Warhammer Quest Campaign Main Thread

[Oversoul]

This thread is for the administrative stuff in the Warhammer Quest campaign running here. I intend for this to serve as the permanent hub for the campaign, with separate threads for the quests themselves. Hopefully, Spidey or TomB or someone can sticky this thread...

This is the first post in the main thread. I guess that there could be an introduction here? I don't know. I'm making this up as I go along. I'd say that I'll probably go back and edit this later, but that sounds like a lie, actually...

Items:

-Equipped - Wound-Stealing Axe of Mighty Striking (Chaos artefact): Once per adventure, this weapon will cause 8D6 damage (Toughness and armour may be deducted as normal). The Chaos Warrior must state he is going to make this special attack before he rolls to hit. If he misses, the attack is wasted.

-Equipped - Ring of Desolation (Chaos artefact): Allows the Chaos Warrior to make an Ice Missile attack once per turn, as well as any other attacks he might make. He must roll his normal Ballistic Skill to hit. The victim is frozen for one whole turn, during which it can do nothing and cannot be attacked. Worth 0 gold (Chaos artefact).

-Equipped - Ring of Illusion (Chaos artefact): Allows the Chaos Warrior to conceal his true appearance. He looks just like any other normal human warrior. Apart from anything else, this means that the Chaos Warrior no longer needs to worry about hiding his mutations or being thrown out of settlements for his strange appearance. Worth 0 gold (Chaos artefact).

-Equipped - Bladed Boots: Allow for a single kick attack per turn at -1 to hit and +1 Strength. Worth 200 gold.

-Equipped - Light Armour: +2 Toughness. Worth 350 gold.

Khorne Statue: Whenever the bearer wishes, the statue's power can be used to modify a dice roll by +1 or -1. Each time the statue is used, roll a D6. On a result of 1, the statue becomes red hot and must be dropped, at which point it shatters and is permanently destroyed. Worth 0 gold.

Grunnson Full Healing Potion: Full restoration. Permanently adds +1 Starting Wounds. One use. Worth 0 gold.

Healing Potion: Restores 1D6 Wounds. Worth 75 gold.

Stonebread: If a dwarf does nothing else for the turn, except stay where he is and eat stonebread, he regains 1D6 Wounds. Throg is not a dwarf. He cannot use these. He doesn't remember how he got them. 5 loaves remaining.

Onola, Donkey of Chaos: She carries Throg's stuff. If the party is attacked outdoors and Onola is nearby, she might use her powers if she feels like doing so. Cannot be sold. Cannot be stolen. You're never getting rid of her. Never.

Broken lyre: Covered in blood and candle wax for some reason. Throg doesn't remember: he was black-out drunk. It seems likely that this is evidence in the case of a crime that took place, which Throg also doesn't remember. Worth 0 gold. Should probably dispose of this where the authorities will never find it?

Fancy Boots: Throg somehow wound up with a lot of brand new boots. He doesn't remember how. 486 pairs remaining. Worth 10 gold per pair.

Elf Waybread: Delicious rations that function as provisions, but do not spoil as easily as normal provisions. 7 cakes remaining.

Bandages: 0

Provisions: 3

Special abilities:

Mark of Chaos: Emblazoned on the Chaos Warrior's flesh, it allows him to re-roll one outcome per adventure (it may be used outside adventures as well if it was not used in the previous adventure).

Poisonous Bite: Once per turn, the Chaos Warrior may make a special bite attack, in addition to his normal attacks. The bite attack is at -1 to hit, and causes 2 Wounds, with no modifiers.

Levitation: Each turn, the Chaos Warrior may attempt to levitate. On a D6 roll of 5+, he succeeds.

Alcoholism: The Chaos Warrior is taken with an insatiable desire for alcohol. His constitution is changed by the power of the chaos such that anything he drinks is now turned to alcohol inside his stomach. Apart from any other effect potions have on him, there is a chance that they will also render him insensible.
Every time he drinks a potion (or anything else) roll a dice and apply this result.
1 The Chaos Warrior falls to the ground, insensible. He will awaken after remaining prone for a whole turn with no recollection of what happened to him.
2 The Chaos Warrior becomes aggressive and attacks the nearest Monsters, with +1 Attacks and -1 WS. If there are no Monsters around. He will attack the nearest Warrior instead. after a full turn, he reverts to normal.
3 The Chaos Warrior staggers around slightly but otherwise seems unaffected. He is at -1 M and -1 WS this turn, after a full turn he is back to normal.
4-6 The Chaos Warrior is unaffected.
For every day he spends in a Settlement, the Chaos Warrior must roll a dice before doing anything else. If he scores a 1 then he spends the day in the alehouse and may do nothing else all day. He must still roll on the Alehouse Events Table, roll for a Settlement event, pay for accommodation etc as usual.

Hypnotic Gaze: The Chaos Warrior's eyes glow with a piercing light. Once per turn, he may attempt to hypnotise his foe. Select any one model that is within his line of sight. Roll a dice: on a score of 6, the model is hypnotised for the duration of the turn. Whilst hypnotised, the model loses 1D6 Attacks.

Fast: The Chaos Warrior's reactions speed up immensely, boosting his Initiative and Move by +1 each.

Razor Claws: Once per turn, the Chaos Warrior may make a special claw attack. The claw attack does normal damage and ignores armor.

Arcane Knowledge: All manner of arcane knowledge fills the Chaos Warrior's head, secrets revealed to him that mortals should never know. Whenever the Power Phase roll is 6, the Chaos Warrior is affected. Roll a D6. On a 1-2, the Chaos Warrior drops to his knees, overwhelmed by a whirlwind of knowledge within his mind. While in this state, attacks against him are at +2 to hit. At the end of the turn, he returns to normal. On a 3-6, the Chaos Warrior gains 1D6 Initiative for the turn. He draws a spell card, which he may cast at any point during the turn.

Atrophy: The Chaos Warrior's flesh withers and ages. The aging process is purely cosmetic, leaving the Warrior looking somewhat haggard and ancient, yet not affecting his profile at all (this time).

Telepathy: The Chaos Warrior can read minds to some extent. Also, he can never be ambushed. When monsters appear who would normally ambush the Warriors, he is not affected. Instead, roll a D6. On a 5 or 6, he may move and attack before the ambush occurs.

Warp Magic: The Chaos Warrior gets a random level-appropriate spell that he may cast once per adventure. *Iron Skin

Fangs: The Chaos Warrior may nominate 1 of his attacks each turn. If that attack hits, then he gains an extra Bite attack, which automatically hits. The target loses 1D6 Wounds with no modifiers for anything.

Gold: 18,822

Items:

-Equipped - Hammer of Spite: At the start of each encounter, the wielder may choose a monster for the hammer to target. The wielder may move past all obstacles to reach an available space adjacent to the chosen monster. The wielder gets an initial ambush against the chosen monster, and an additional attack against the monster every turn until it is dead. If the Hammer of Spite strikes the killing blow on its target, the wielder gains double gold. 1D6 + Strength damage, with an additional 1D6 if to-hit roll is a natural 6. Worth 600 gold.

-Equipped - Ornate Armor: +1 Toughness. Cannot be sold.
-Master Rune of Gomril: +2 Toughness. Bound to armor.

-Equipped - Protection Ring: +1 Toughness. Worth 300 gold.

-Equipped - Holy Book of Sigmar: Used to cast blessings. Cannot be sold.

-Equipped - Ring of Jade: This ring is reputed to contain a fragment of the Grand Theogonst's Jade Griffon, and to hold the power of healing within it. Whether this is true or not the magic of the ring seems to work. At the end of each turn, if the Priest is not on zero Wounds or dead, then the ring has a chance of healing him and any Warriors who are standing in adjacent squares. The Priest should roll 3D6. If he scores a double, he may heal a number of Wounds equal to the total of the doubles rolled. So for example. if he scores a double 4, then he may heal 8 Wounds. If he rolls three numbers the same, it still counts as a double. The Wounds are shared out between the Warrior Priest and any Warriors in adjacent squares to him as the Priest sees fit, with the limitation that all the points of healing from a single die must be spent on a single Warrior. The Priest should nominate who he is going to heal before he rolls the dice. The Priest could take all the Wounds himself, give them all to another Warrior, or share them out between two Warriors, for instance. The Priest gets 5 gold for every Wound he heals on another Warrior (this is not deducted from the other Warrior's gold, but is a measure of the Priest's healing efforts). If the Priest rolls a double 1, then the ring is drained for that turn and works in reverse to revitalise itself. Each Warrior nominated for healing suffers 2 Wounds, with no deductions at all. The Priest may use the Ring of Jade once per turn. Cannot be sold.
*For the duration of the next adventure, the Warrior Priest may roll an extra D6 when using the Ring of Jade. If he does this, it cannot be used on the subsequent turn.

-Equipped - Ring of Command: Currently +1 Strength if to-hit roll is 5+. Bonus changes with level. Cannot be sold.

Special abilities: Each turn, the Warrior Priest may attempt to cast one blessing on himself or another Warrior. He rolls 1D6 and adds this to the power phase roll for the turn. If this is equal to or higher than the power required for the blessing, the blessing succeeds. If the Warrior Priest's blessing roll is a 1, the attempt automatically fails. The Priest has these blessings written in his Holy Book...

Scourge of Chaos: As the Priest reads aloud the words from his leather-bound tome, the Warriors feel their swords strike their foes with unprecedented accuracy and precision. The chosen Warrior's Attacks for the turn are all at +1 to hit as his hand is guided by the power of Sigmar. [Requires Blessing Roll + Power to be 6+]

Call of the Brave: The Warriors' blows miraculously hit their targets despite the Monsters' best efforts to avoid them. The chosen Warrior may re-roll a single Attack which misses this turn. [Currently rerolls an attack for 1 Warrior; Requires Blessing Roll + Power to be 6+]

Power of Sigmar: Laying on hands, the Warrior Priest calls upon his power to heal the wounded, knitting torn flesh and staunching the flow of blood through the power of his faith alone. The Warriors affected by this blessing are healed by the power of Sigmar.

Active Quests

The Sylvan Epic
"It seems like we've been training for years, rather than just a couple of weeks. You might not remember it, but Corticruss had me bring a note to Carrow. He wanted to meet with you here in Middenheim about some elves who insist that Carrow comes back to Loren with them." —Skullcrusher

Chaos Gates Under Middenheim
The Count of Middenheim is seeking help dealing with the newly discovered Chaos Gates in the sewers underneath Middenheim.

The Halls of Alteration
"I believe that I've uncovered the location of the Halls of Alteration, mentioned in this fascinating 'Spagyric Key' book. Some day, I'd like to go there and test this out. It might be dangerous, so I want to bring backup." —Corticruss

Beacons of Retribution
Tyresius was maybe kind of sort of totally drunk, but he heard some story about some fancy Bretonnian knights called the "Order of the Holy Forge" trying to light "beacons of retribution" in the World's Edge Mountains and having trouble with whatever the task entails. By itself, this doesn't mean much, but four of the other party members met the Order of the Holy Forge already, fighting off undead. Perhaps there's something to be gained from this...

Defense of Middenheim
The Knights Panther are willing to pay mercenaries to assist them in the defense of the city against the forces of Chaos.

Placeholder post for whatever things I've forgotten. Sneaking one last post in just so it'll be here in the reading order of the thread before Turgy shows up to make some snarky comment or someone (else) chimes in with a legitimate question

 

[TomB]

I'd be open to any of the 5 quests, but I have a question: Is the Chaos Gates quest and the Defense of Middenheim quest connected somehow? In other words, could we set it up to get paid as mercs while dealing with the the Chaos Gates? Or would that mean the Knights Panther would want a cut of any treasure we found?

Edit: Another question: Is the Sylvan Epic unfinished business that needs to be taken care of? In reading over things that seems like it could be the case...

 

[Oversoul]

Since BigBlue isn't here and I can't even remember how much information Carrow was privy to, the gist of the Sylvan Epic quest is this...

Way back in the "Tome in the Tomb" adventure, Carrow pulled a strange book of old wood elf epic poetry out of the "false Tomb of Shalaz." It was sealed in there with other books for reasons. The book is magical in some way. Carrow gave it over to Corticruss for safekeeping, who did some investigating. It turned out that a bunch of elves were looking for it. Some of them came to Corticruss babbling about a holy mission. When he admitted that a wood elf had found the book and left it with him, these elves decided that they really wanted to take both the book and the one who found it back to Loren. Corticruss deliberately avoided giving them more information once he heard that, as he doesn't know what Carrow's standing in his homeland is like. These elves informed Corticruss that another faction would be trying to destroy both the book and elf who found it. Corticruss still has the book, and found that this mysterious other faction is capable of using magic to roughly divine the book's location, sending hired thugs to obtain it. Fearing that they may be able to send people after Carrow as well, Cortricruss used his own magic to find a way to Carrow, and subsequently discovered the Chaos Gates under Middenheim, including one that led to Carrow, still deep below Karak Azgal. Seeing the need to both warn Carrow of the danger and alert Middenheim's authorities to the presence of the Chaos Gates, Corticruss hired Skullcrusher in the sewers beneath Middenheim, sending him with a message to Carrow, while returning to the surface and informing the Knights Panther of the Chaos Gates...

 

[Mooseman]

Well, since I am a wantered elf, then maybe we should go where they can't or wouldn't follow.

 

[Spiderman]

Well, it looks like from the description of the Epic Sylvan so far is that Corticuss wants to meet with us, so maybe we should do that first...

 

[Mooseman]

That works.

 

[Melkor]

"Sigmar shall guide our paths if we simply pray to him for guidance"

 

[TomB]

I'm in...

 

[Spiderman]

We meet with Corticuss!

Added a World Map to the quests section of this thread, for reference. It's pretty similar to the map in the Warhammer Quest Roleplay book, but bigger. There are some more detailed maps floating around on the internet. This is just the one I've had on my computers for forever. But it does have some points of interest. The Worlds Edge Mountains are the prime adventuring grounds, forming a barrier between the Old World and the Dark Lands. Nestled within the mountains, there are the Ruins of Karak Azgal, where we spent a lot of time. Hard to spot on this map, but it's just a little north of the Sour Sea. Another place where we've been spending too much time, thanks to me, is Middenheim, the city that's right by the Middle Mountains. And you're about to journey to Loren, which is south of the Empire, east of Bretonnia.
