PCs : Sister Agnes (Duane), elf Mor (Bill), Cavalryman Gary (Matt), wizard Venegral (Tony) ReCap : They survived witnessing the failed skaven assault on the Brass Keep. Took out the Screaming Bell before running from the appearance of Blight Kings. They then journeyed south to investigate the corkscrew lightning bolt weapon presumed fired from the dwarven Karak Skygg , overrun and commandeered by goblins. But the goblins driven out by skaven and the mountain top sheered off and now a flat plateau. Enter At Risk: From a distance, they gazed at the headless dwarven statues flanking the grand entrance. A horn from another mountain was answered from the Karak. Soon a throng of 40+ ratmen marched 200+ blinded captives up the pass and thru the huge gate before it slowly closed with a “THUD” that echoed thru the valley. There was a brief moment Agnes’ Orphans thought about joining the slaves to slip into the old dwarven stronghold. But Gary and Agnes thought otherwise, “Hard to disguise

The horrific peal of a Skaven Screaming Bell transformed Ungol troops into skaven fighting their former comrades. But in order to silence the bell, Agnes’ Orphans need to charge toward the thousand plus skaven swarm. And deal with a Grey-Seer sorcerer who commands the bell. Forward, Charge ! Once more the bell peeled that ungodly “DOOOM” that sent corrupting ripples through the human ranks. Katja fought off the mutating nausea as Agnes’ Orphans charged forward (in a not-so-stealthy approach). The Grey-Seer turned at the sound of their clanking armor and commanded the rear ranks of skaven (along with 2 of the 4 rat-Ogres that pulled-pushed the Screaming Bell along) to deal with the minor threat. But Mor used the opport

After meeting with Baron Heinrich von Karzburdger, who gives his blessing, they continue onward and upward to the towering Brass Keep . At its base a few miles west… the picket line comprised of numerous tents to support 200 men strong and a walled palisade. Captained by Heinrich’s daughter, Emmiline. Cossacks/Kislevites/Ungols : As they drove the wagon load of weapons higher into the mountain steppes, a lone horseman stepped from the thickets, “Greetings, I am horse-captain Tylik. You’ve been expected.” Ten other horsemen appeared and offered to care for the travelers’ horses. Gary was the first to ponder, “Horsemen? Up in the mountains?” Tylik explained, “Our Tsar and the Empire have an agreement for troop exchange. 6-month deployments. Thus, we go where we are

From the Beginning:  https://rigglewwh.blogspot.com/2021/06/s0e1-introductions.html PCs : Sister Agnes (Duane), elf Mor (Bill), Cavalryman Gary (Matt), Bounty-hunter Katja (Geoff), wizard Venegral (Tony) ReCap : Skaven had attacked and brutally plucked eyes from the survivors of Unterfraus and marched them off into the mine . The heroes entered in hopes of rescue but were turned back, not only by the presence of Warp-Grinder weapons (that caused the spiral wound patterns on the miner, Gilbert Vogel, and griffon) but also the charge of skaven reinforcements that easily outnumbered them. A slow retreat because Agnes weighed down by armor. They returned to Middenheim in time for princess Katarina to hand them a charter to inspect closer the Brass Keep. Hovelhof : The elf Mor departed early for a lone ride into the Drakwald to find an elven city to purchase a new sword and arrows to replenish those crushed in the mine collapse. Meanwhile, light snow fell as the others departed Midden

From the Beginning:  https://rigglewwh.blogspot.com/2021/06/s0e1-introductions.html PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Katja (Geoff). The wizard and Ogre absent. ReCap : The Gladbeich beast proved to be a wounded, mutated griffon that almost killed Gary and Katja. But it was skaven aiming long barreled Jezzial rifles that threatened the elf. Who scaled the sheer cliff to assault them and caused them to flee. They survived only because the elf low on arrows. The elf’s concern: did Baron Holzbek’s report of muffled explosion and minor avalanche have anything to do with the griffon’s sudden mutation? The elf focused on searching for the griffon’s nest and possible source of the explosion. “She could have young in her nest! I must try to help them.” They sent the young huntress home to report the demise of the beast that howled throughout the days. To the Nest : As they studied the griffon’s wounds, they realized the spiral pattern cut around its shoulder was similar to tha
