No rush! I just want to make sure there's planning going on!

I have a two step plan:

Step one, leave room.

Step two, kill everyone.

I think it's rather elegant.

I'm in. We need to try to get to Annalisa hopefully peacefully before things go down. If we can speak to her on some pretense before attacking people, we might be able to detain her and disarm the situation.

No one’s agreeing on a plan!

Heinrich wants to kill everyone

Mortus wants to kill no one.

Julian thinks we need to get the toilet guard, who hasn’t gone to the toilet, before he reaches annalise.

Even if we evade annalise, we cant realistically go into the drakwald at night.



I think we should sleep this guy, rush and find the 2nd guard, go and talk to Annalise, arrest her and then use combination of talking, threats of the knights with magical trail, and fighting to subdue the rest.

Can Julian do a knowledge check to see if he thinks the bomb would have hurt people in the inn?
I don't care about the rules.

Oh, you're right. Get on and agree then!  :icon_razz:

No need to test really. It definitely could have injured people (besides the intended targets) had it gone off in the bedroom as planned. The floor would have been blown out, blasting people below with bits of timber and other debris.

I just read your Marienburg info and recognised at least one name, really looking forward to reading what you do with that sourcebook, my all time favourite.

Unlikely. You write in a similar style to the oldschool Warhammer fluff, the English stuff anyway. I think the Marienburg book might be American, though I'm not 100% on that.  Interestingly there's just as much grotesque and dark stuff in the Marienburg book as the newer books, but it's like comparing some classic horror to unsubtle crap like Saw or Hostel.

People need to post what they're doing in the game thread, remember!

The main author of the Marienburg book is indeed American, and it came out about ten years after the original WFRP books. But it predates the bore-o-clasmic 2nd edition stuff.

I actually haven't read it properly yet, but I think it looks as good as the Middenland one.

Let me ensure that Mortus understands;

Annalisa's story
  • The Count is her uncle.
  • The Count murdered her father, stole the title and drove her into banditary.
  • The Elector Count agreed with the count, or at least didn't act to prevent it.   There maybe corruption involved or the elector count might not have been informed.
  • The man in the cage is a traitor.

Ander's story [the man in the cage]
  • He is Annalisa's sister
  • The current count is their father who spent his life fighting in the border princes' civil wars
  • The former count died in a hunting accident.

The guard's story
  • Anders is a cousin, not the brother of Annalisa
  • Anything else he is saying is a lie

I can't remember what the count might have said on the subject.

Am I missing anything because at the moment I don't think Mortus is convinced that anybody is telling the whole truth and given the dangers involved with a fight out she isn't that keen on that option.

oh I'm sure no ones telling the whole truth.

what we do now is she tried to bomb the inn.
Admund knows carroburg was not the den of corruption she claimed.
she has made up some bullshit about a glowing Gem.



Julian is 100% certain she's talking shite, and is a criminal for the activities just we know of.
he's 90% certain she is not the rightful count, even though she probably is the heir.

she wont be once she's executed for treason.


How does Mortus propose not fighting, anyway?

I'm still considered how Mortus purposes not fighting, but to stage a battle against 30 odd guys in such a narrow place is arrogant in the extreme.

There is the bomb, but Mortus doesn't think that is a big deal.   If Annalisa is the rightful countess then the bomb is justified.

Admund does know about the corruption of the elector count, or at least he believes he does.   Did he have time to tell the rest of the group I wonder?

There is the thing with the glowing gem.   We also know that the count really wants to get that gem back.   It is a cheap palour trick alright but it doesn't really prove anything.

Could we suggest escorting Annalisa and the Count to the Elector Count and letting him sort out the mess?
Hoping for action of some sort!

Mortus is still trying to think of a way around a bloodbath that will likely get a few of her friends killed.   Is there any way to see if the guard is lying?

I'm having trouble seeing how the party can fight their way out of this one without staging a battle.

It is not like Annalisa is going to surrender easily
