It went well

Before We begin this little uhh rant will talk about events that Happen in the Longest night (part one of the witch fire trilogy) So you know this is spoiler time so you have been warned.

WARNING WITCHFIRE SPOILERS!!!!
ok you have been warned.




Just as I thought we would finnish the longest night ... yeah it has slipped from our slippy grasp ... as you see i lost track of time and we well as the longest night began we had to say goodnight. But you know I enjoyed runnign this session
Mr X and Miss Y unfotunatly did not show for reasons. but ok So we got on with it you know the other 4 were here whoopie.
So yeah we got through Fort Rhyker as our paladin walked off our clint eastwood gun mage shwoed up. And in there 1st encounter suffered a new hosue rule of mine. Limb loss. Now you see the Iron Kingdoms has this great section on prospheticlimbs. Problem is therse not really any rules for losing limbsin D&D so I made some up.

Essentialy it works like this. If criticaled by a foe and does enough damage to leave you with 2 HP or lower, the player has a 15 % chance of losing a limb which is determined by the roll of a d4

1. Left Arm
2. Right Arm
3. right Leg
4. Left Leg

As such ouchies.

A player can try and attack al imb without criticaling and this will incur a -6 penakty to hit the limb of choice. If hits there is once more there is a 15% chance that limb is lost. If you critical whilst attempting to hack off al imb the chance of success is taken to 25%.

Any weapon held in the afore mentioned hand is dropped.

This can only be preformed ith a slashing weapon.

So yeah 1st encounter our newbie gunmage has he goes to open a door as he does the thrall warriors open the door commign out to see what the commotion is (someone used the dumb waiter >.<). So yeah 1st round sekelotn equiped with a great axe Criticals confirms Percent Cleared and swossh no n gun arm gone .... oh dear. So after that we had a armless gunmage badly woudned wanderign around. It was fu neveryone enjoyed that I think it added a bit of the of balls this may be a problem factor. Although un the Acane Mechaniks case it was along thel ines of:

"So When Can I make mechnika limbs again?"

I am enjoying our Arcane Mechanik he is most delightful.

So yeah they get through the fort with Minimal fuss. I sped up the fort a bit and they arrived in the court yard to find you know alot of Undead standing at attention. This is not good for them. so they go over to the big stained glass window and see Alexia and her undead Coven well building the thrall army. Now this is hwere my party supprised me.

Instead of doign the classic party so yeah lets try and blow em all up NOW the Arcane mechanik finnishes perring in the windopw turns to party realys information and jsut says.

"So Whos up for running the *BEEP* away?"

a unaimous show of hands goes up from the crowd and they leg it before they are noticed and on the way out blew up the drawbridge and you know then they hear hundreds of clankign armoury sounds and instead of stoping and watching the undead army and alexia from the other side and you know no wity banter they legged it jumped on nthere horses and bolted.

They tell helstrom and its off for some r&R whilst they await the enemy. Rest up recover from wound buy more toys etc. And then we began with the 4 thralls through the mist and by the end of it everyone wondering where the hell did they coem from. They expected a attack from the gates not from the inside. Instinctevly they think ahh somethigns gone horribly wrong at the gates best go check it out. and we neded there.

So all in all its been a good ngiht and the end of the Longest Night is almost here will Alexia finnaly get what she wants who knows.

Also they know the inquisitons are about and possibly after them. I also gave them a gistory check into Vinters reign a little. Why because I think Everyone in the Iron Kingdoms should Know that VINTER RAELTHRONE is #1. I am a big vinter loyalist what can I say.

So yeah afterwards helped the guys pick some new minis out of the iron Kingdoms range showed em the Iron Kingdoms etc and generaly got soem feedback. Thumbs up all round whoop. Now to just get this over and done with so we can move on to part two.

Cant wait to see what these new palyers wil lbe like.

anyways I just got out of a mettign with some friends about somethign secretive and Kylies upstairs awating me so I shall bid you all Good night.

Today is walk like house day

So yeah today is a good day to impersinate house. Last night I hada little accident. Whilst doing one hell of a close shift (didnt nget off until 2:20 didnt get home until 3pm) I went flying across my kitchen whilst cleaning it as the floor round pot wash was a "tad" wet. Got up kept working done. Now the ride home was painful and trying to get up onto my bed whats about 3' high was increadbly painful. This morning it was worse. Ive doen the leg in round the groin area which means trying to bend comes with ALOT of pain.

So apart from that very little to report except oh god the pain the pain of it all. Also I look funny hobbling.

So D&D this thursday. its a longer session than the last lot so I hope to be through the 1st part of the Witchfire Trilogy. So hooray for that i want to get on with part 2. For I need my Vinter Raelthrone Fix.

For those who dont know Vinter is the former King of Cygnar (the nation the witch fire trilogy is set in) who was a tyrant and was overthrown by his younger brother. he then escapes across the supposedly barren bloodstone marches finds the Skorne and single handedly conquers them and is now leading a army of skorne across the Bloodstone Marches towards Corvis (the City centered round the Witchfire Trilogy) So by the time the part y finnish part 2 they will find a army at there doors.

Now vinter is essentialy this character the Party is not going to beat for along time. Privateer dont advise giving him stats just when the party does meet him give the impression it would be nuts to take him on. You essentialy see him maybe try and get a shot in he nicks you and then you and he are carried away from each other by 2 fighting warmies and so long as you dpnt follow him you WONT DIE.

God my players are going to die. But Vinter does have a number next to his name and its in the fairly high epics. Even in warmachine they gave him a stat card and you could easily see him tear through a army. Anyway I shall end my post there as I need to pee and its takes me forever to get up the stairs. Someone get me a bottle.

They need more busses during the strawberry fair and girl friends shouldnt nipple twist you

So im sitting in my misuses bed being horribly nipple twisted due to not paying attention to her. OH GOD THE PAIN.
Anyway to the normal ranting. This Saturday was the Strawberry fair in Cambridge joy of joys. Once more im not there as im surprise surprise working. So I go in bout 12 spend till half 10 working my butt off (whilst the other 2 did slack a fair bit that night). Then I bugger off to get my bus. Ok so the bus was late then there wasn't enough room to get on. This is the last bus of the night and i cant get on cause its full of drunkards and stoners FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC. For the Love of Morrow can someone please over at Cambridge county council put on extra bus services so that some of us dont get stranded. I had to call in a ride from the old man at 25 past 11 he was not ammused (another reason to get driving i suppose). Then walked down to Marshals where I had a interesting conversation with a nice lady who had been at the fair and had just dumped her boyfriend. And thats a story for another day.

So this Firday sees the next part of the witchfire trilogy come into play. So far ive got 3 of the 6 players attending yays one i know still aint ready the other 2 i dont know wtf there doing atm. But hey one more player than last time the magical girl will be a interesting one to introduce to the party. With the paladin it would be you've been sent to Corvis to assist Father Dumas an to act as the temples protector or something like that (although the temple isnt on the front line for at least 5 years yet). And the barbarian well she just follows the Paladin so hey alls good.

But tonight it shall get dark quite early and they shall return to the church (hopefully where father Dumas will be awaiting with a interesting story to tell them and a Young lady will be there being her joyful self (is alexia joyful?).

and then of course begins the next part of the fun. The problem with the longest night is there is not alot of combat involved in it. More investigataion than anything else. Shadow of the Exile and the Lost legion or legion of the damned or whatever its called see the players truly kicking some arse.

Anyways missus has brought food so im signing off
