Warhammer Delights

After spending many hours jamming on my "axe" at Eric's house. I went home and got a minnimal amount of sleep before heading over to Tako's. Yep a sight to behold... the other side of the DM screen.

Ben came to town and although we got a bit of a slow start by Saturday evening we were rolling allong. When sunday hit my brain was fried by we slogged on. 3:00 was quitting time but by then we had:

  • Advanced in a new career
  • Helped uncover an ancient tomb
  • realized we were being hunted by some gray robed bastards
  • sent on a wild goose chase to find out more about our strange tattoos
  • Ended up in Kemperbad and a bizarre haunted house were we encountered a daemon and a surprisingly large number of ghosts and undead (if only there were turning in this game).
  • went back in time about 500 years
  • Trecked to Middenheim {oops. I mean Marienburg} only to find out some kind of great disaster is going to happen in the next month or so.
  • Uncovered some astrologers and astronomers as well as scholars of a variety of sorts that all confirm that some time in the next month the chaos moon will eclipse the sun.
  • We also found out that one of the more prominent (yet unbelieved) scholars thinks that this event will unleash a daemon of such terrible power that it will put the gods to shame.
  • So, we are off with a tooth of a great daemon in our hands looking for an "egg" so we can try and stop the second coming of pure chaos on our planet.
Thanks Ben... for a moment I thought I was the only one who put joy and sunshine into the the plots and stories told from the DM's seat.

Thanks for coming to town. Hope to see you soon.

Yup! Thank you Ben! I had a good time!

I'd like to mention my little list of things I've learned about Warhammer:

-All guards take night classes.

-Some spells can converge on a single target.

-Dwarves make good launching pads.

-Never pet a burning dog... wait

That was a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to resuming sometime soon.

More useful tidbits:

- Throwing axes have a low listed damage, but a 100% kill rate.

- When a whiny little assistant scholar says he's not cut out for adventuring, he's probably right.

- If you ever find your party facing a mirror image or itself, take out the heavy damage dealers first.

- Wights must be unionized in the Warhammer world. There's no other explanation for how slow they move.

- If you're ever in a haunted house, just head directly to the attic and get it over with.

- Torture kits can also be useful for boarding up windows and other home repair jobs.

I heard that dwarf priest was amazing in the last adventure.

Legend has it he was turning undead like an uzi welding Jesus. I also heard he found a secret trove of curvacious female dwarves who were impressed with his spiritual weapon.

I also heard he has a celestal hydra as a mount. Boy these stories write themselves.

This is so easy. I should GM!

Thanks for the summary Claude. But the city you're in or were in is actually Marienburg. Hope everyone enjoyed it.
