Mordheim part 1

"Yarrrr! Mi harties. Steady now said" Captain Jack when he commanded the ship to a ghostly docks of Mordheim. There was surely bloodshead and plenty of gold and rum to be had. Boarding party eagerly jumped on the slippery and broken docks. They have been unused for countless ages. Following their rugged treasure map carved from mans hide they made way hastily towards the ruined city and the rumored treasure tower.

Finally when the tower was on sight. Captain Jack used his telescope to figure the landscape and forge plan for the venture. Streets of Mordheim are filled dangers. Countless corpses piled in the city gutters are constant reminder of the grusome death that is waiting any who tresspass.

Curses! We are not alone. Captain Jack spotted rugged band of Orcs and a huge troll among them. Thats not the worst part. Straight ahead there are band of sissy High Elves in their shiny armors and long ears. Its going to be horrifying battle over the loots. 

Smelly Orcs! Slow witted but never unterestimated brutal and tough opponents.

Shady High Elves. Fast moving , skilled and deadly aim.

Nothing to worry about tought Captain Jack. Just let Barney loose and follow him and slit their guts open!

So began the slaugter! Teugamo plays with Shadow Warriors(High Elves) Lonkero with Orcs and myself with infamous Pirate Crew. We are playing a campaing and the rosters are new and shiny. Never played before that is. Purpose of the game was to collect 4 pieces of wyrdstone shards and in the bigger tower there was treasure chest what was actually secondary objective. Only the winner could claim those extra pieces of wyrdstone. Chest needed to be carried to claim it. 

We builded ruined city around the little forest in middle. Wyrdstone pieces are those little squares that shine like white to the camera :) One of them was on my left flank. One was near the tower and two were near the forest. Easy pickings for the Shadow Warriors. I choose to ignore the one in my flank in order to avoid fighting with Orcs and their Troll. So I head up towards the wyrdstone near the tower. Orcs moved to get the one piece on my flank and shadow warriors moved to claim the two nearby shards.

Shadow Warriors claimed two shards easily and position themselfs to let volley of arrow fire on me. Lonkero failed some stupidy test whit his Troll and it made me curse loudy since now I could of gotten in time to collect that piece he was after.

I move up and try find some cover before making my run to secure the only shard Im nearing to get my filthy hands on. Orcs move slowly towards the only piece of shard that is available to them. Shadow Warriors are getting ready for bow and arrow action.

Now is the time. There is small gap and I got to take my chances. Barney rushes forward and grabs the wyrdstone. He moves quite a bit faster than the rest of rugged sea dogs so they are left behind. My pistols have so short range they are not much of use yet. Im still planning to use them more in close combat anyways. 

Orcs finally manage to pick up their wyrdstone and now can move up where battle is going on.

Barney has three wounds but still those Shadow Warrios make such a hail of arrows that he falls to the deck as knocked down. By the following turns he gets up but does not pick up the wyrdstone shard but instead he charges the Shadow Warriors while rest of the gang moves up. They cant charge and just move as close as possible. I moved Captain Jack to the tower trying to pick up the treasure in top floor. 

Sharkbait Sally and Whiskey Willie are cut down by the arrows. 

Orcs are closing in the action trough the forest. Wise and cunning plan to let me and high elves to brawl a bit before joining up the fun. 

Barney cuts down his opponent or two! so does my rest of the crew. Bloody Mary gets a kill. Rest are done by henchmen. Also Harriet the Harlot guns down the leader of Shadow Warriors. Captain Jack is still climbing the tower.

Orcs and Troll emerge from the forest. I turn my tail and try to run away from them and do not touch the Shadow Warrior leader that is stunned and later knocked on the ground. Barney moves to chase the elf carrying their other warpstone. 

 Elf Leader gets up and now starts their last desperate shoot out. Orcs are still intact and we all know they are going to steamroll over us.

This is how it is before the Orcs.

Here they come and its going to be hurting time!

 Shadow Warriors finally manage to shoot Barney down and then the Orcs come rumbling down. Troll charges Bloody Mare and puts her out of action. Also Scarlet is knocked down by shooting. I got four guys out of action and take my rout test and flee. Shadow Warriors fail it also or choose to flee. So winner of the first game are the Lonkero with ORCS and the Troll! Sharkbait Sally got Frenzy on serious injury and Bloody Mary got Old Battle Wound. It was fun game and better luck next time! Rest of the crew survied and im very happy for it. I only got 30g from the game and it was all going to upkeep of my Red-Nose Barney. We played another game too but im going to report it tomorrow since its very late and tomorrow I got to be somewhere in the morning. Good night and good games!
