S6E14 EIR- Conclusion

Image
PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Pre-Ceremony : Days needed to gather the council electorates to attend the ceremony. Already in Altdorf were: the Grand Wizard (Thirus Gorman), the Grand Theogonist (Yori the 15 th ), Emperor Franz, and his son Crown Prince Wolfgang. Already suspicious of events (such as the lustful gleam in Wolfgang’s eyes when he first touched Sigmar’s hammer), Agnes’ Orphans inspected the Throne Room where the ceremony was to take place. In no time, they found the wooden display case to hold Ghal Maraz suspicious: a trap door and room beneath. Surely Gideon’s work; who else was involved?! “Who oversaw the construction of this case?” Yann Zuntermein! All envisioned the threat to the emperor and the unifying ceremony to politically restore/bestow his rule from the hands of the current Crown Prince. The palace guards wouldn’t let them dismantle nor replace the case; so, they disabled the trigger and pinned

S6E13 EIR- Grave Matters Indeed

PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Into the Breech : They watched as the Panther guards lifted Prince Henryk on a litter and carried him to the castle and the Graf’s doctor. They too exited the Temple of Ulric and witnessed the dwarves dealing with the influx of skaven. They stood upon the ramparts near the destroyed east gate and saw scores of Middenheim defenders, mad with fear (caused by the Hellcannon blast) in full retreat. They watched distant skeletal archers bloat the sky with a rainbow of arrows. As they gazed upon the Hellcannon on a distant ridge, they could see Chaos Dwarves reloading the daemonic machine with more lifeless bodies to fuel its raw energy blast. And that’s when the ‘Master of the Hunt’ Allavandrel Fanmaris approached Mor, “All is lost and hopeless; princess Katarina is dead. A wave of chaos is about to roll over these pathetic humans. Come, follow me. I know a way out.” Mor spit upon the ground, “Y

PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Battle of the Barges : The enemy barge (flying a ‘Red Crown’ flag) sailed at them. Mutants lined its deck and manned its forward cannons which erupted, shredding the hull of their LostnFound barge. Mor and Katja aimed for the foe cannoneers as Gary lit the fuze on the LostnFound cannon, answering with rigging hits to the foe. Meanwhile, Venegral sensed the Winds-of-Dhar rising from the river and recognized the aura of an invisible “Gideon”. Agnes sensed other threats as in aquatic beastmen climbing the hull of the barge. Ships closing, cannon balls flying, arrows and bolts and magical blasts and fireballs filled the air. Josef fought the ship-wheel trying to avoid ramming the approaching barge as the heroes fought off the bestial threats. The only cannoneer, Gary manned the other cannon before resorting to his pistols (no time to reload the cannons). Fortune the enem

S6E11 EIR- Exit, Stage Left… I said LEFT!

PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill) , Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Hidden Valley :  Act 1: Cave in Ruins After grabbing the hammer, the cave begins to collapse. Agnes tells Gary to turn left, Gary turns right and gets us lost. Upon exit we meet 2 giant hangry dogs with 3 heads. Thanks to Agnes’ presence, we win. Act 2: Goblins Within Heading out the gorge, the goblin horde followed Ymath’s scent and set up an ambush. Venegral flew like Superman and laser beamed everyone. A few goblins spun themselves to death and Agnes was eaten alive by a giant squig, twice (but still lives). Katja, aka: Legolas-ette, aka: Bounty Hunter Supreme Justice, pokes a squig, then wears it as a helmet trophy. Act 3: Wanderer on the Reik Made it out of Black Fire Pass, restocked then headed to Nuln. Boy with bad haircut sends flying mutants into Gary’s sword and to their deaths. Queen B, congratulates us and we head to Altdorf. In Kemperbad, we pick up the hitchhiker better known as t

I Saw Water Flowing…UP! PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Hidden Valley : Human faced fish swim in the gorge river. So much for filling canteens with water suspect of warpstone corruption. They soon come upon a camp. Winds-of-Dhar linger around the 2 tents. The collapsed tent has a backpack with ancient coins minted in 2234; a book of Sigmar dated 2184 (Today is 2512). Moaning from the other tent draws them forward to find a human form completely covered in yellow fungus. Agnes puts him out of his misery and torches the body. They find human bones in the ancient campfire. Pressing on, they come to a field of purple cap mushrooms where a snotling is busy collecting them. Agnes warns all the mushrooms hallucinogenic, which prompts Venegral and Gary to harvest some. Eyes blink at them from the mushrooms! Katja's dog catches the snotling who claims he is lost from his party. Bored, Math finally smashes the snotling.   P

PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony) , Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) absent Black Mountains : The halfling crawled over the wagon supplies to fetch a noon meal as she corrected the ogre, “I’m Moonpie, not Dumpling II.”   Like talking to a rock. They passed intermittent watch towers along the way south, till they came upon a dwarven structure crafted into volcanic rock occupied by human halberdiers. [gossip] “War between Middenheim and Talabecland; glad I’m here. No room for travelers. What about those emaciated refugees?   If we tried to help every starving pilgrim, we’d run out of supplies for ourselves. The pass itself is carved through volcanic rock to provide a vital trade route between the empire, Tilea, and the wild Border Princes (Borderlands) to the south.” They camped outside the tower, then resumed their travel the next day, coming upon another fortress of dwarves. [gossip] Venegral offered a barrel of ‘Bugman’ ale to open co
