Big Toof

Snot Wars move ta Westbank
Snagratz da Slava's demand fer da Snotlings iz causing da ruckus on da Westbank, too. Da Gutrippas an' da Big Sneaks iz scrappin' over da rights ta Snotz all over da town. Da most re-cent scrap happen over on Westbank near dat brewhouse call da Halfing's Toes.

Dem Sneaks draw first blood, an second an third; but da bleedin' iz mostly what dey call da self conflicted. Da Nameless troll git, what hang around wit da Gutrippa, wake up fer once an' beat up on da Sneaks too. Da Sneaks flee.

Dere wuz 5 snots hanging around da Halfing's Toes, 4 iz viz-ible. Da Sneaks sneaked in from da west.


Dere lotsa Sneaks. Dat's all right. Dey mostly get in each other way.


Basha an 'Eadtaka surveys da town...


Smasha an' Shaft lookin' ta climb. (Dat ain't gonna work.)


Smaggot mutters darkly, Nameless looks at purty rocks.


Four bows an' 2 heroes back Too Clubz, Basha an' "Eadtaka up. It OK though, 'cause it only 6 to 3 an' da Sneaks ain't taking those odds.


What da Sneaks do is fight da Kap'un, Nameless, Too Blades and Smaggot.


Now, ye can sees dat dere are like 6 of dem Sneaks, but only 2 iz scrappin, dat wuz nice of 'em.




Nameless take down da Brown Nose. Try fer Sparky!

Thanks Al, we've got four painted warbands in this campaign, so you're going to get a few battles that have fully painted minis, every now and then.

Here's the photos from the first battle reported last week. Everybody is having computer (or phone) problems it seems.

Stuff from this week will be along one of these days...

LOOKIN' GOOD AGAIN! I really like the scaffolding & the other scenery. GREAT STUFF!  

Just Scrappin'
Da Gutrippas an' Da Krew kicked up some dust over on Westbank.  Da Gutrippas waz some over matched. Wot with da Headtaker laid low by comp-lick-a-tions; da Cookie still ailin',too. Dem dere boar boyz rode right over 'em.  Da Nameless got trampled again, heez got better.  Poor Smasha II waz captured an' sold down da river.

Da Krew Adopt Lost Squig Hound.  
'Ol Squint Eye, one o' dem Krew gits, caught hisself a lost Squig Hound down on Westbank.  Ol' Hound tries ta bite Squint, but Squint he smacks dat Hound wit hiz choppa.  Hound juss luv dat Squint.  Ain't dat nice?

Mad Bomma Seen on Westbank
Da Gutrippas done hired a Mad Bomma name of Boom!  Da li'l git wuz seen over dere on Westbank sneakin' up on da Krew, but nuffin happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More Mad Boars Seen In Southbank

Dere another out-break of da Mad Boar diz-eeze on da Southbank.  Buncha boars got inta dat duppy wyrdstone over by da Big Old Ruin.  Natcherly da Krew wuz dere ta take all da best boars from da Sneaks.  Da Sneaks sez it not fair!  Da Krew got so many boar, dey sellin' 'em!  Sneaks just got stoopid green stones!  Ain't fair!

Da Krew sez dey finally capture dat nasty ol' boar with da scorpion stinger! Da big git dat drove ol' Uma Gumma crazy, remember dat? Everybody real happy ta hear dat Stinger iz caught, I tell ye.


Gobbo bandits Mug Rival Theef!
Da Sneaks done hire a Theef!  Da theef git'z enemies snuck up on da Sneaks an' stuck da Theef.  Throwed da Theef inna sack, gonna Theef-nap da git.  Ol' Horney Haid sez, "not my Theef ye don't!"  Da Li'l Gitz [dat's da name of da gobbo gang] stuck ol' Horney!  Throw HIM in sack!  Whole mob o' Sneaks beat on da Li'l Gitz for a bit to get dere own boyz back.  Da Li'l Gitz run, but all da whiles da Krew is stealin' da boars, see?


Boss Face Rippa shoots at things.


Da Sneaks boyz huntin' da boar. (The reason da Sneaks ain't got no boars iz dey don't TALK ta da boars, dey shootz 'em!)

Squint'z Hound catches da last boar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next issue: Da Chance Encounter on da Westbank

Da Krew should consider opening a BBQ joint.  

Chance Meetin' on da Westbank

Dere wuz another brawl over on da Westbank, other day.  Da Gutrippas an' Zug'z kinda ran right inta each other, sort o' a 'chance encounter', ye might say.  Horrible mess.  Zug's hire dat big blue ogre, go by Big Blu.  Kap'un Arrgberg's ladz seem ta fink takin' on too Big Guys a terrible idea.  Even though da Cookie an' da Headtaker both show up fer once. Da Gutrippas hardly move before da Toll Troll an' Big Blu smash inta 'em. Dat about it.  Nobody kilt, which iz kinda what da humies call da miracle, all dat blood.

Still all dat brawlin' make da ladz spend da teef.  Big Blu liked smackin' Gutrippas so much, he don't charge nothin' for da work.  Da Mad Bomma, who didn't do nothin', still took hiz fee.

Zug'z Ruffnekz.




Da Ruffnekz get stuck in.




Da artillery.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Da Great Race

Seems dere wuz dis rumor dat some gitz hid some teef inna one of da Ol' Stone Huts.  Well da Krew an' Zug'z Ruffnekz start runnin', gonna get dere first!  It a purty excitin' race, what with all the snipin' by unknown parties from da Ol' Stone Huts.  Arrow flyin' every which way.  Some may have hit somethin'.  At least three of Zug'z boyz iz rubbed out.  Dere another rumor dat da Krew got one of dem Sea Troll ta run with da Krew.  Don't know nothin' 'bout dat.

Somehow, probably by cheatin', Zug'z beat da mounted Krew to da treasure AN' got away with it!

Zangy Zumwot join Zug'z
Dis Big Race iz goin' on, an' da Krew dey ridin' an' dere dis duppy Gobbo inna funny robes an' hat inna road.  Kap'un Big Hat sez, "Move it!"  Da Gobbo sez, "Ize Zangy Zumwot, an' Ize take order from Zug!"  So da Krew rode dat gobbo down.  He got better though, an' Zangy hangs wit Zug'z.

Zug'z get da drop on Da Krew, go first.






Most of da Krew runnin' to da treasure.


Big Blu challenge!


Toll Troll hold 'em back!

All in all, da Krew grab 2 Snots, 2 squig an' 2 gobbos off da streets.  Da Ruffbrawlaz collared a snot an' a squig.  All da Krew gotz better, but a couple o' Ruffbrawla squigs got squished. Def Layt an' Da Ritter both got better.  (So did Da Ritter's boar.)

Da Brawlaz took da high road (safe from da boars).




Bat Loon II appears.

Headtaker an' Cookie dust it up wit da Krew.

Chariots o' Fire on Southbank
Bogrot's best chariot caught da fire other day. Bogrot got no idea how. Da boars took off tryin' ta out run da fire (dat dey wuz pullin' behind 'em!) Dem boars dragged dat chariot all over da town. Smashin' da chariot inta walls, runnin' over gitz! Coulda fallen in dem pools down by da Old Stone Huts, but da boars missed 'em! Da Ruffbrawlaz wuz chasin' after da chariot, tryin' ta put da fire out an steals da boars, but da only git ta jump on board ended up cooked!

Inna mean time dem Noob Noobz got tangled up inna what ye calls da pur-suet. Big scrap breaks out by da Old Stone Huts. Couple o' gitz get kilt, like usual. Boyz get ta scrappin', fergets all about burnin' chariots. Da boars end up draggin' wot wuz left o' da chariot inta da desert. Ain't seen 'em since!

Da Noob Noobz got tire of gettin' beat on and bugged out, too.

I took out some of Chad's squigs and a goblin or two. Almost took out his shaman but couldn't wound him when he was knocked down. So he survived the battle. An out of control flaming chariot came in and crashed into a bunch of stuff. Chad tried to jump on it and get control with an orc, but his dude caught fire instantly and went ooa.

I had both big uns', my troll, an orc , and and a goblin go out of action. One big un got a nervous condition, and the other rolled an old battle wound. The goblin died but everyone else lived.
I got a +2 underdog bonus so everyone gained a level. Found a corpse in exploration and got some minor loot.

Snot Warz on da Westbank
Zug'z Ruffnekz muscles in on Da Big Sneaks Snot trade onna Westbank. Da Sneaks wuz busy sneakin', didna sees da Ruffnekz comin'! (It were dark, ye see.) Da Sneaks sneaked away wit most o' da Snots, but dey lost some turf. Da Sneaks also lost a couple o' boyz. Zug'z ogre, Ol' Blu got kilt by dat Sparky git wut hangs wit da Sneaks.

Zug'z close in. Da Sneak iz already in da ruined Brewhouse.

Despite starting earlier in the evening we ended up with fewer games than normal (for six of us). Jim L arrived late and left early, so I had no time to arrange photos of my new models. Maybe next week. Bob came by to promise to re-join next week and obviously Harganok (aka John) joined us this week. Jordan took a new job, so he has dropped out.

TERRIFIC photos of some FANTASTIC terrain & minis, AND a FINE narrative...that's what is BEST in Life.  

Thanks very much for the kind words Al.

Big Toof has been a great deal of fun. True to form da new Bomma was killed horribly by the first enemy that touched him (in this case Stinga da Boar) in his first outing. Also as per usual Jim L's "just some goblin with 2 daggers" Bomma has gone out of action in every game, but not died.

Da Real Original Bomma Dribblesnot will return next week for revenge.

It seems to be the way of war gaming that newly painted minis die horribly in their first game...it's sort of like a rite of passage or a frat hazing.  

Dem Wild Boyz Seen Onna Westbank
Guess who just got back today
Dem wild-eyed boyz dat been away
Ain't changed dat much to say
But man, I still tink dem cats be crazy*

Outta da blue, as da hummies sez, Dem Wild Boyz show back up onna Westbank.  Been lurkin' inna lair for a spell. Not get out much. Den BAMM, deys back inna Big Toof, haz dem selfs whatcha call a 'chance encounter' wit da Krew. Not much change, except da Krew SO much stronger. Gots even more boars.  Da Wild Boyz goof off.  Yell insults an' stuff at da Krew, den bug out quick when da boars charge.  Strange fing, da Wild Boyz lose, but dey makes da teef.  Three treasures worth.  Duppy.

[*With apologies to Thin Lizzie.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Da Boar Warz Onna Northbank
Da Ruffbrawlaz find dey self a bunch o' dem duppy stone eatin' boarz, over dere on da Northbank by da Ol' Stone Huts. Ruffbrawla haz da round-up, see?  But dem Gutrippas iz dere, haz da round-up, too.

Da Gutrippas a' da Brawlaz haz da scrap wit da boarz an' each other. A couple boarz git ded. A couple squigs iz rubbed out, too.  Da Brawlaz iz winnin' but da Kap'un Arrgberg, he picks ol'  Pain'ton Man Eat right off hiz boar wit da crossbow [first thing Arrgberg's hit, I swear].  Da Gutrippas grab Man Eat's body and leg it.

Earthquake on da Northbank
Dey wuz a bit o' shakin' goin' on onna Northbank.  Gitz waz fallin' in da holes!  Da Ol' Stone Huts wuz fallin' apart.  It were a mess.  Da Tribal Council, dey blames da duppy green stones da boarz iz eatin' all da time fer underminin' da mor-el fun-de-ment o' Big Toof.

Man Eat Ransomed
Ol' Pain'ton trade hiz boar fer Pain'ton's life.  So da Gutrippas take Pain'ton's boar, two Spiny boar an' some green rocks.  Da Ruffbrawlaz catch a tent-acle boar, a Spiny boar an' a Scaly boar an' get lotsa duppy rocks.


Da Battle o' da Shakin'

Lost Mule not Found
Inna middle of all da scrappin' da Sneaks an' da Krew wuz doin', da Ox Skullz Raidaz wandered through da town. Da Ox Skullz wuz lookin' fer dey lost mule. Ain't nobody seen it. It lost. Anybodies find da mule, tell da Ox Skullz first, an' dey won't kill ye.

White Bow Kilt
Da Krew report dat da Hero White Bow wuz kilt by Sneaks wit rubba choppas. Da shame. White Bow iz survived by hiz boar Stinky an' numerous enemies.
