Family DnD Session 16. Back to Queens Watch

 The adventurers returned to Queens Watch. Paladin Danse met them at the docks saying they should get settled into a tavern for the night and then they can start Investigating where the wizard went with the chalice in Queens Watch. As they entered the town they noticed a large notice board. Azorak spotted a notice addressed to him??

The party headed to the Salted Pig to look for the mysterious D.  When they arrive and settle down a voice calls to Azorak. Another dwarf comes up to the table and introduces himself. Davarack is his name and he is Azoracks cousin. He explains Azoracks home and clan has been overun by an enemy and they have lost any kind of communication. He is leading a caravan of medical supplies but needs help to get to the clan survivors and he has heard about Azorak and his deeds. The party agree and the next day they set off. Davorak explains the enemy has blocked the main entrance with a camp so he will drop them at an abandoned mine which connects to their home.

They arrive and head in. An old mine awaits them, the first room used to be some kind of kitchen but has been turned into a grizzly trophy room. Skulls everywhere. A hell hound is guarding them and unleashes a gout of flame at the party who eventually vanquish it. Trey move on finding 2 dire wolves (1 injured) hiding from the hell hound. Ian the the druid explains he's gone and the wolves bound out of the mine. The party presses on, Downhead narrowly escapes an acid trap. They eventually find a large cavern where several what appears to be cultists chanting. One tells them that the party will never stop the black skull being summoned then suddenly he's possessed and the black skull speaks through him. He tells Azorak that his clan will be ground into dust, Ian the and Downhead their family will burn and Ragnum his tribe will be destroyed. The party charges into battle, Ragnum throws a cultist off a cliff and the cultists are vanquished under a hail of arrows and weapon strokes . The party discover stairs leading deeper into the mine. What will they find? 

The RCBBL is back baby!!!! Season 2 week 1 and 2.

We are back!! New bloodbowl! New teams! But same fun and carnage!!! With a new edition coming out means new rulebooks all round (yay!). The biggest change being a new stat, the passing stat which will cut down on pesky elf linemen throwing like a star (sorry Matt). 

Let's meet the teams!

The Death Spectres are back with a new line up. The dark elf team are title defenders looking to hold onto that trophy.

Rat Bastards. The Skaven have arrived! Sneaky and fast, watch out for the gutter runners!

Dog and Bone. New coach, newly teleased team. The Necromantic arrive on the scene. The werewolves are the stars of this team! 

Orcicidal Maniacs. Brand new team from the new box set, the black orcs are the best here. This team is all about bash 

The Gnoblar Gobblers. The ogres are here!! Ogres and gnoblers are the team here. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No its a kicked or thrown Gnoblar!! 

The Portland Puddings. What's that lovely cooking smell..... Oh its the halflings here to play Blood Bowl...... Or maybe eat. Hell they can do both!! With new positionals it isn't just a bunch of hopefuls anymore some of them have specific jobs! 

The season kicked off with the Rat Bastards vs the Gnoblar Gobblers. This ended up in a 2 - 1 victory to the Rat Bastards. One of the ogres had to miss the next game due to  injury.

Next up was the Portland Puddings vs Dog and Bone. A first time player vs a first time stunty player! The match kicked off, a were wolf bounded down the side of the pitch but usng halfling team work  he was shoved into the crowd who promptly killed it!! The match ended 2 - 0 to Dog and Bone. A halfling catcher and tree were missing next game. 

The first week ended with Death Spectres playing the Orcicidal Maniacs. A hard fought out 1-1 draw.

Week 2

The Death Spectres played Dog and Bone. The Death Spectres took the win 2 - 0.

Orcicidal Maniacs and Rat Bastards went at it. The skaven won 2 - 1

The Portland Puddings travelled to the Gnoblar Gobblers, missing a tree and a catcher. The Gobblers were missing an ogre. The match was a brutal punch up. An ogre was sent off, the only halfling tree knocked out for most of the match. The halflings killed a gnobbler. The ogre punter killed a Gnoblar and injured another. The halflings had to pass like a normal team which I hadn't planned on. and took the win 2 - 0. One hefty earned himself enough points to buy an upgrade and I gave him Hail Mary pass. As I have a cunning plan for future matches.

That's the first 2 rounds sorted! Onwards to the next matches. My Fling adventure continues!!!
