Scenario 083 - Night Of The

Dead

This game is for a one time multi-player game (one-off) or can be modified to be

used in a campaign. Pitfightertrainer, Greenwood Gaming Group, Kawarda and

myself: (BankofMarienburgh) modified this scenario from Troll 23 for a Halloween

Game.

Your warband has been in the City of the Damned and has had a difficult time finding

Wyrdstone and keeping your warband happy. You have recently heard rumors at

local watering hole that there is a pile of Wyrdstone so large that an Ogre could not

carry it all! After hearing the story over many drinks there are several warbands

contemplating the idea of searching for the pile. Along with the story of Wyrdstone

there are consistent stories of Demons, Zombies and Bears. Oops, I mean nefarious

things that lurk in this unexplored section of town. It has been rumored that the

famed “Town Cryer” of Mordheim walks the streets here.

Terrain

Take turns placing terrain around the gaming table but be sure to leave an 8 inch

circle open in the middle of the table. This 8” area will represent where the

Wyrdstone pile is located. In placing terrain leave streets or alley ways open.

Set-Up

All players roll 1D6 and whoever rolls highest sets up first. If more than two

warbands, please use Mordheim Annual 2002 page 27 Diagram 1. Starting models

will begin 12 inches inside the table and further models to come out for the fight will

start at 8 inches.

Special Rules

Who's In : One hero and one henchmen group will be chosen at random. Roll 1D6 for

each Hero, the Hero with the highest dice roll will be the first to venture into the

City. In the event of a tie, keep rolling until one Hero is the winner. Do the same for

henchmen group. The rest of your war band seems to be lost in the fog for now.

(Your gaming group or GM should agree what the D6 roll will represent: Captain,

champion, young bloods and etc)

Visibility : In addition, the heavy fog will limit visibility to 4 inches. If you attempt to

run more than 4 inches then roll 1D6 on a one (1) or two (2) the warrior must

consult the chart below. On a three (3) or better on a 1D6 the warrior has no

problems running. If you have a rabbit's foot you may use it to re-roll. If the model

has a lucky charm they may use it to avoid a bad effect (2-8).

2D6 Results

2 Crud, AAHH! : The warrior is Out Of Action.

3 Crud, Mommy! : The warrior runs full distance in a random direction.

4 Crud, Ouch! : The warrior is Stunned.

5 Anybody : Move 4" in a random direction.

6 Crud! Ouch! : The warrior is Knocked Down.

7 Whooo was that! : Stand still and listen.

8 Oh, Light! I think? : Move 4" in any direction you choose.

9-10 Yikes! : The warrior is treated as having failed a charge, but no other

effect.

11-12 Graceful Turn : The warrior dodges a fatal accident. No effect.

Getting the Wyrdstone : Each hero and henchmen must attempt to get their

Wyrdstone to their deployment zone. Once a hero or henchmen group returns to

their deployment zone another of the same type may leave to go search for the

treasure. No hero or henchmen can return to the deployment zone unless they have

treasure. If or when each hero or henchmen group returns to their deployment zone

they stash their Wyrdstone and roll D6 to see who will venture back into the city. It

is possible for the same group to go again but unlikely. You may continue this until

all your models are Out Of Action.

We Got Company! : For each warband D3+1 Zombies will be generated around the

Wyrdstone pile when a model takes some Wyrdstone. The Zombies will appear 8

inches away and will be randomized by scatter dice. The Zombies will have home

court advantage; they know this area like the back of their hand, if they have one.

Zombies are in search of fresh meat to eat, thus in this scenario the Zombies can

charge a warband model that is 8 inches away on a 4+. Familiarity and hunger

(MMM….brains) make their keenness higher. It will be possible for the Zombies to

charge through the fog and DO NOT have to roll on the random counter above.

If a player does not wish to move his/her models to the Wyrdstone pile the GM may

use any persuasive techniques necessary to encourage such behavior.

Starting the Game

Roll a D6. The player rolling highest has the first turn and order of play proceeds

clockwise around the table (based on where players placed their warbands).

Ending the Game

When the game is down to one warband left then the winner should be determined

by who has the most Wyrdstone recovered and Zombie kills. There are many options

to declare the winner. Your gaming group could use these options:

1. Most Wyrdstone recovered.

2. Last Man Standing.

3. Most Heroic Actions (Made up at your discretion)

4. Most kills added with Wyrdstone recovered.

5. The Wyrdstone is brought to safety (D6+2 Wyrdstone).

6. Various combinations of the aforementioned and others.

Experience

+1 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1

Experience.

+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 experience for each enemy he puts

Out Of Action.

+1 Per Wyrdstone Carried Off the Board: Any Hero or Henchmen group earns +1

Experience for each piece of Wyrdstone they get to carry off the board.

+1 Per Zombie Taken Out of Action: Any Hero earns +1 Experience for each Zombie

he/she put Out of Action.
