About this deal

Once again the magical storm enhances the spell and all of the toad’s wounds are immediately healed … much to the frustration of the Chosen warband.

I'd say the rules are simple at first glance, but once you get into the way skills, spells and equipment let you characters support each other, there's a lot to think about. The otter’s armour, once again, proves difficult to penetrate and the exhausted dormouse has to give up the fight.Certainly the random encounters with the ghasts give the game a sense of trepidation that is suitably atmospheric. Gulliver Swift, the Chosen’s newly recruited squirrel attempts to climb a nearby burrow to get a better view. He weaves round Roger Rumbottle and Hugo Blackriver and escapes the battlefield, hauling the paychest with him. My playing area is smaller than the one suggested in the scenario description so I have tried to use plenty of terrain to slow progress and hopefully better balance the contest.

Tommy attempts to cast another cure spell on himself but this time the spell fails, leaving the rat in a very perilous state of health. In an attempt to protect Serena from an attack by Malcolm, the rat fired his blunderbuss but missed his target and instead hit his own teammate. He knows the odds are against it but blowing up the inn may be the only chance of winning this contest. There is very detailed injury tables (~20 results), and there is jobs your gang members can do "Wanderings" kinda random events you roll for between games to gain money, random gear and various advantages.

Tommy Skump, although of a naturally weak constitution, has provided some useful magical support for the Hired Paw and has gained 5 Experience Points. If the opposing model wants to take a second Action, it must do it after the ‘ready’ model has finished theirs.

The game is Burrows and Badgers published by Osprey Games, created by Mike Lovejoy of Oathsworn miniatures. She rolls off her Nimbleness die (D6) against the distance to jump (4″) adding +2 to the roll because her last Action was a move of more than 2″ towards the jump. Wildcats are best at close combat; fast and nimble, with d10 Strike and Strong (2), Tough (1) and Fearsome, they can threaten any beast in the game.Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. This means your opponent will usually have to use a MOVE Action before they can attack you when it comes to their Activation, meaning you don’t end up suffering two attacks against you! The injured toad strikes at Roger but, hampered by the effects of the poison, does little damage to the weasel. Rufus, not wanting to get embroiled in a fight with Roger Rumbottle attempts to evade the weasel and make a break for it. I have created my own set of Magical Storm rules for this game similar to the ones in the campaign book.

Back at the village, Nigel Nimblepaw practices his shooting technique while Bogen and Sam construct and lay new traps. The Hired Paw, apart from Barnabus Chipwick who has been knocked senseless, limp away angrily from the scene, nursing their wounds and collecting the few scattered pennies as they go.

Unfortunately for the lizard, Rufus, with his excellent parrying skill and blessing of divine wrath, easily deflects the attack. If the attacker wins, the defending model marks off a number of wounds equal to the difference between the rolls. The conditions are right for a night of lucrative grave robbing and two rogue warbands have their eyes on the burial site at Gibbet Hill.
