Vercuso: Bell, Book and Candle

The capricious Winds of Magic grow stronger on Sartosa this season and the practitioners of the dark arts gather. Auspicious portents have been reported; such as fish that seem to say “Doom!” as they are about to be filleted, the birth of two headed goats, whole flocks of birds dying on the wing and falling into the streets, strange lights flickering over the harbour at dawn and dusk, and unusual numbers of very deep water fish turning up in catches.

To add to the sense of foreboding felt by the citizens of the ruined port, three mysterious strangers have come to Vercuso. Not much is known about them but they arrived a few weeks ago wearing the bizarre robes normally associated with wizards. No one seems to know where they came from but within days of getting to Vercuso they had started asking questions about the active warbands in the city – they visited all the bars, inns and taverns and quizzed the locals about the strengths, skills and make up of all the active armed bands and made extensive notes.

Then without explanation they separated and took up residence in three different parts of town. It’s not known if they argued and fell out or if they are secretly working together behind the scenes but they seemed to be working together when they arrived, now they have gone their separate ways and are quite content to even join opposing forces.

No one knows what motivates the wizards to join a particular warband from one week to the next but they seem to be eager to spend time with those active in Vercuso, even to the extent of taking on disguises to accompany warbands that have a distrust, or even hatred, of magic.

~ ~ ~

Ignatius Bell, Helving Book and Merton Candle are Dramatis Personae who will join warbands for one week for no charge. They can be used in all the games you play for the week they are with you. They will not stay with the same Warband for two consecutive weeks though, at the end of the week they will leave your company and join a different warband for the following week.

Mr Bell, Mr Book and Mr Candle are allocated to different warbands at the campaign masters’ discretion. Miniatures and rules will be provided to represent the wandering wizards. If any of the wizards are killed they will return to the campaign after a week of absence with their starting stats and no experience points.

~ ~ ~

The next Flame On Luncheim campaign will be starting with a full day’s gaming at The Mill on Wednesday 30th December. The campaign mechanics are very similar to last time, but with a few tweaks which we think will really make things simpler and easier.

You can download the campaign rules pdf #here#.

Starting the campaign

1. Everyone taking part will provide the following information: a) Warband name; b) Warband type; c) Starting warband rating.

2. In order of placing in the last campaign, each player chooses their starting location which must be a ‘special location’. So Adam chooses first, then Saul, Dazza, Dave, me, Tim, Viktor, Matt, Andy, followed by any new-comers (there is space for 12 warbands in total). The special locations are the same as before:
Wishing Well
Sail-Makers’ Guildhouse
The Light
The Battery
The Farms
The Old Temple
Pressgang Alley
Binnacle Yard
Merchants’ Guildhouse
Vercuso Bridge
Their (revised) special rules are listed in #this# pdf.

3. Each player also secretly chooses any two locations which will be worth double points to them at the end of the campaign and PM it to the organiser. Choose them for fluff, for special rules, for whatever reasons you like, but keep ‘em secret for now! Once the campaign has started, each warband's bonus locations will be revealed to the other players so we can try and stop each other capturing them!

Chosen starting Special Location - The (Moisture) Farms

The Underminers

With the Farms being settled by the new dwarf treasure hunters, the main house rang with the sound of clashing helmets, swearing and singing once again; the roving clan members couldn't help slipping into old dwarven habits wherever they were.
They were true miners, as comfortable in the pitch black of the deep earth as above ground, possibly even more so. It was something about the weight, the mass of the rocks all around that comforted them and nurtured their stoic, stout attitudes. And their hard heads.
We now see them carousing round the massive central hearth of the farmhouse, flagons slopping, beards dripping and lungs bellowing out the old songs...

"Hi-ho, hi-ho it's off to work we go, with an axe and a pick and an orc-beating stick hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho..." As is said, old traditions are cleaved to roll

The "Serpent-Dragon of Twilight Aspect" pirates

The Gloomwyrm
Also known by it’s Cathayan name the Serpent-Dragon of Twilight Aspect, the Gloomwyrm is a Cathayan Orc Pirate Junk commanded by Captain Mung-Qi and festooned with dragon-muzzled cannon. The Gloomwyrms are a fierce band of cutthroats and villains who joined the Ironfang Pirates willingly when they first saw the size of the fleet.

Mung-Qi (Orc Boss)
Arrogant, boastful and conceited he calls himself “The great Orc Pirate Warlord Mung-Qi, equal of Gork and Mork, Captain of the Gloomwyrm Pirate Junk, scourge of the eastern seas” but most people find that a bit long-winded and pompous and just call him Mung-Qi. He wields a great two-handed iron cudgel, stolen from the treasure-horde of a sea dragon. Mung-Qi doesn’t know it but the metal staff is forged from meteoric iron, and as a result it is almost unbreakable and slightly magical. He also wears what he thought was the legendary Crown of Command, but he was duped into putting it on by his Shaman and it is not what he claimed it to be. The golden circlet looks impressive but Mung-Qi would remove it if only he could.

Tricky-Tarka (Orc Shaman)
Sly, secretive and deceitful, even by Orc Shaman standards, Tricky-Tarka has final say in all the decisions the Mung-Qi and the Gloomwyrms make – all he has to do if he doesn’t get his way is recite a secret spell and the “Crown of Command” shrinks slightly and causes Mung-Qi unbearable pain! The Shaman is searching Cathay for the Scrolls of Mork and is using the pirates for his own ends.

Xan-Dee (Orc Big'Un)
In his former life as a river pirate Xan-Dee developed a taste for human flesh and he still wears several skulls hung from his cloths and lank hair. The Gloomwyrm was attacked by his small band of river pirates when it ventured up-river many years ago but Xan-Dee’s crew were swiftly overcome and killed. Xan-Dee was impressed by the ferocity of the Gloomwyrms and joined them immediately.

Pig-Xi (Orc Big'Un)
Once a Boar-herder for a northern tribe of nomadic Orcs, Pig-Xi got fed-up with the constant abuse of the rest of the tribe and the relentless biting from the boars. With a very large bag of supplies packed he left the camp in the dead of night when the tribe stopped near a coastal port. He joined the Gloomwyrm’s crew when he heard they were sailing at dawn. He is easily distracted by food and drink and enjoys little in life more than eating.

Luncheim Special Rule

Cloud Trapeze
The secrets of cloud-walking are known to the Heroes of the Gloomwyrms. It it said that in a single somersault they can travel 108,000 miles!

The Heroes of the Gloomwyrms have limited access to the spell Flight of Zimmerman. One hero can try to cast it once each turn, but it can only be used successfully once per game. The Gloomwyrms are no wizards though; if when attempting to cast it they roll double 1 they are removed from play for the rest of the game, as they are carried away the full 108,000 miles! The "lost" hero does not count as being "Out of Action" and does not have to roll for injuries but they can not take part in the after-game Exploration for that game. They will have found their way back before the next game however, probably with an exciting (and hugely exaggerated) tale to tell their ship-mates...

The journey was long and arduous, the group was ill equipped and ill prepared...
The mountain pass had been savaged by storms for days and the snow squall that set in caught the burdened knights by complete surprise. None survived but their names would go down in history as the Knights Who Never Were. The Carpenteurs never got to tread in the footsteps of the legendary Knights of the Woeful Sense of Direction, but plenty more sword arms were willing to try their...arm... in Vercuso.

Knights from the border regions of Bretonnia - Tatouaine - have spent generations mastering the inner warrior, controlling their emotions, some say even manipulating the physical world with nothing more than their thoughts, to further the calling of Knighting and bring peace to the Old World.

The Red-Eye Knights - so called because all that concentrating on moving rocks with your mind really makes you squint! - heard of the tales coming from Vercuso and recognised a wretched hive of scum and villainy when they heard of it. They set out to cleanse the bars and taverns, alleyways and thieves dens and bring light and peace to the port of Vercuso.

The Red-Eye Knights

Luncheim Special rule

Lightsword of Luc de Promeneurs-du-Ciel

Luc de Promeneurs-du-Ciel was a legendary Red-Eye Knight who battled the renegade knights of Tatouaine to protect his homelands, forging famous myths and creating heroic sagas in six parts along the way. With the help of his mystic Albion guide Obidiah Kenobidiah, he perfected the use of a particular spell that turned his normal steel sword into a burning beam of light and heat that could cut through armour and flesh with contemptuous ease.

The Lightsword spell has the same effects as the Sword of Rezhebel. But because it requires intense mental focus and not the winds of magic, if failed the knight must sit down for a bit and rest, thus missing the rest of that turn.

However, on the role of a 1, the spell goes disasterously wrong and D3 zombies are killed instead. (what do people think of this???)

‘Be quiet’ Retorted Brad. He turned to Pob with a disappointed look on his face.

‘This isnt how life was meant to be’ He quipped.

He was from an affluent family, the eldest son of Lord Winnat, heir to his estate. Growing up, he was always the smallest of children, the weakest and the most feable! He was clumsy with a sword, appalling with a bow and arrow and his horse riding skills left a lot to be desired. But he couldn’t help but wonder how he had ended up here, ended up a Vampire.............

‘Brrrrrraaaaiiiiiinzzzzzzzz’

VERY COOL! I especially like Herr Candle & Pauli. NICE USE of GW's EXCELLENT plastics...whatever differences I have with GW, they DO make some GREAT plastic pieces. The Lads are going to look SPECTACULAR when all painted up.
AND, lest I forget again, the painted pieces above are all TERRIFIC! Bell, Book and Candle  (a Flame On Mordheim campaign) 544694

It is said that deep in the uplands of the island of Sartosa lies an utterly inaccessible plateau. None have ever gained access to this place, nor even provided proof of its existence. However, it has been postulated by the Imperial scrivener Dr Deitrch Attenburg that this isolated spot harbours all manner of mysteries and wonders. He believes the plateau has been completely cut off from the rest of the world since the time of the Old Ones. This is of course utterly fanciful speculation, but he has recently claimed to have found physical evidence of his theory.

This so-called evidence is the appearance around Vercuso of a group of greenskins so utterly backward and primitive that they make even the savage orcs of Lustria appear civilized. Preferring to live in caves and using only the most primitive of weaponry, these orcs do not even appear to have developed the foul, elementary language of their more familiar cousins. All greenskins are little more than brute beasts, but the ‘cave orcs’ are brutal, animalistic and devoid of any social skills at all. They are exceptionally aggressive and extremely dangerous.

Any sensible man would fight to eradicate these dreadful beasts, but Dr Deitrch Attenburg has made it his work to study what he calls the ‘Nean der Taal’, a name meaning ‘brute of the cave’ in an obscure gothic dialect. He is currently observing them in their interactions with the other inhabitants of Vercuso. For those with the patience to tolerate his fancies, we will be publishing extracts of the ramblings of his notebooks...

A small but dangerous group of the cave orcs appears to have found a den in the Binnacle Yard area of Vercuso. Quite why they have chosen this location is a mystery to me. I would have expected them to seek out a cave to dwell in, but urban Vercuso seems lacking in such geographical features - although the ruined state of the town could be seen as providing many cave-like dwellings.

Thus far, the only element of their language I have managed to discern is the names they appear to use for one another (although I am confident that I will soon be able to translate properly and who knows what sophistications of culture I may then discover?). I have however determined a clear hierarchy within the group based essentially on strength and brutality (just like their more advanced greenskin cousins).

The dominant orc in the group is clearly the large one who is normally seen wearing a skull head-dress (this appears to be more ceremonial than military in purpose - unlike the array of stone weapons he carries). I believe he is referred to as 'Uhg-ug-ugg' by the rest of the group. The next most dominant members are ‘Uhg-ugh’ and the ancient ‘Uhgg-uhgg’, both of whom wield enormous clubs made of wood or carved bone with which they brutally assert their authority over the group. Another individual of note appears to be called 'Oooogh' although this may simply be the other orcs' expression of fear and respect for him: He seems set apart from the group, wearing very few furs and often mumbling to himself. I have not yet discerned his role or status. The remaining four cave orcs all appear to refer to one another as 'Ug'.

The campaign has started! Eight of us played a full day of Mordheim yesterday, with 9 or 10 one-on-one games and a massive multi-player bash. More photos, reports and campaign updates will follow but Tim beat us all to the post with the first returns:

Here are a few more photos, the only salvagable ones I took. Oddly, a lot of them are Saul's orcs. They are lovely though, aren't they?
