Da Rize an' Fall o' da Gobbo--Merry OrcsmasSo it came to pass that most of the players in my current Mordheim campaign could attend the final game night before Christmas. I was completely unprepared for such an occasion, but I rallied and came up with a lame holiday themed scenario:
Da Spiritz of Orcsmas"Beware! Ye will be visited by three spiritz. Heed dere words!" The wight who closely resembled da ded Night Gobbo Chief Bad Arse* spoke in a hollow voice dat reached da ears of all da greenskins. *Chief Bad Arse wuz shot ded by Fletch, a Gutrippa henchorc, a few weeks ago
Twas da Night Before Orcsmass an' all da gitz head for da town square ta scrap! Da spiritz appeared in order of failed animosity tests, given our record of actually attending game night I was unsure of the number of players, so I reduced the number of failed tests to activate spirits. This turned out to be a mistake, but it sort of worked nonetheless.
Santy Clawz lurked in da cave
Da Whitez (an unpainted orc and goblin warband run by Chris) wuz comin' from da east

Da appearance of da Wight Bubba II made all da orc warbands take a lead test, if dey fail den each warband member take a lead test or flee. Da Whitez flee! AND get trampled by da invisible crowd of orcs for good measure...

So da Whitez took no actual casualties, but were broken by having six warriors flee from da Wight Bubba II. Dey lose no one.
Da Git Yaz lost
ThreeDotz rubbed out by Toll Troll. A snotling was also kilt ded by da Ballerz. Da Git Yaz find da Majick Shot Bow an' gain +3 underdog bonus again...
Da Gutrippaz lost
Da Craziest Git Eva, who killed himself rather than listen to Jolly Nik's jokes. In addition a faint BOOM was heard during exploration, marking the end of
Da Mad Bomma who blew himself up trying to make a new bomb or two... Da Gutrippaz find da entrance to da Catacombs in exploration.
Da Ballerz wins! Dey lose da lucky charm stolen by Bogoff
(cause dey didn't even try to get it back). Nufink dies. Dey also gain +3 underdog bonus coming into the evening with a rating of 311! (even lower den da Git Yaz)
Merry Orcsmas and da Happy Holidayz!
