I wonder why they would have left the watchmen alive....better to cut their throats before running.

Depends how George RR Martin like Rufus is. Every NPC we know will die one by one.

It's all a maybe. Maybe in the rush to leave they left the beaten and unconscious men to rot in the cellar.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #7101 on:** June 29, 2013, 10:04:27 PM »

Well also killing a watchman might be like modern world cop killers...you kill one and you surely have a bunch of their friends on your tail.

This game needs long descriptions of food and no plot progression!

Or scary pictures!

At least, it scared me in whichever Fighting Fantasy gamebook it came from, when I was 9.

Well, at least we have the boring pointless female quest option covered.

Interesting mortus suddenly has fears about the chaos armour, yet was content to let julian fight against it.

In her defense she didn't know about it when Julian was fighting.

Also Mortus' fears about chaos are sudden or new? Really now, really?

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7107 on:** June 30, 2013, 09:26:51 AM »

That picture is delightfully creepy!

[Admund Cl 28 - 10 = 18. d100 roll of 2!!!!] - Admund sprouts chest hair and eats a steak in front of the zombie.

I assume the 3 watchmen with me will have to make Cl tests too? Did Kratz come down in the cellar with me, or just order me to go check it out? Admund has never seen a zombie/ghoul before, so it will shock him, but he will use sword on zombie.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7108 on:** June 30, 2013, 10:34:27 AM »

Lucky!

Yes, Kratz is with you (Admund went first because he's a PC!), and yes, he and the others also have to take fear tests. I'll do those!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7109 on:** June 30, 2013, 10:45:26 AM »

Well, having zombies in your basement is sure to be a big indictment of your business practices. Are horrors like this "known" to be out there, or just in folk tales?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7110 on:** June 30, 2013, 10:52:50 AM »

What's in your head, in your head

Tricky question! Admund would certainly have heard about the undead in stories, but unless he's had personal experience he might not have believed in them. Also, stories about the undead mix up facts with fantasy (do vampires really have a compulsion to untie knots? Do they hate running water? Should you drive a stake through their heart and bury them face down at a crossroads, or cut off their head and burn them?).

I'll update later.

I was thinking more this - http://youtu.be/Btb7y41vXng

I guess the same is true of zombie lore. Admund's had a shocking day! He will need a beer.

Working on the principle that shaking her off wouldn't stop her grabbing a hold again before he had the armour packed but a good smack in the face would shock her enough that she could stumble and fall down, thus giving Heinrich the time.

It's getting worse.

Will continue the fight tomorrow. Any instructions?

Should I say 'Pardon me, lads' as I run past the other watchmen?

Admund has no choice here. He'll keep fighting along side Kratz until he calls a retreat, we win, or become zombie snacks.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #7116 on:** July 01, 2013, 05:53:19 AM »

Heroic...if only Klaus would be passing by hearing the combat and charging in to save the day....eternal ~~love~~ friendship with Admund would be secured.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7117 on:** July 01, 2013, 08:48:35 AM »

I prefer to keep Klaus as our secret weapon against large demons.

I think Admund stepped into a horror flick. Hope the watch station has medical staff. Some of these watchmen might become zombie snacks!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7118 on:** July 01, 2013, 10:33:28 AM »

The other watchmen get to Cl test each round to see if they can unfear themselves. Hopefully some will pass this time.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #7119 on:** July 01, 2013, 10:35:54 AM »

If not maybe the Zombies won´t be as aggressive this turn.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7120 on:** July 01, 2013, 10:38:41 AM »

Of course they will. They are zombies.

Are you implying I make things easy for the players?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #7121 on:** July 01, 2013, 10:45:28 AM »

No I hope you roll worse next turn!

I like the balance of giving us a hard time and cutting us some slack if we act smart.

Nah, if Mortus is still alive, you are sure to be okay.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7124 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:28:54 PM »

I think Admund is being very heroic, considering he's suffering from a nasty curse.

WFRP has no level scaling though. If you go into the zombie cellar, you get zombies. It doesn't matter if you're a lone halfling or a legion of dwarfs.
