HQ25 Chaos Cultist/Undead Chapter

[Gold Bearer]

shhhhh, that's a secret treasure hunt for reward icons in your signature

Oh, kay. I'm sure nobody heard me.

So Goldbearer, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but could you just post your quests in the quests topic? With only the quest notes. They need to be understandable by anyone reading them for the first time, without knowledge of your other posts/explanations, so keep that in mind. Then we can all discuss the quests and see if they need simplifying

But stuff like that is why I started a specific chapter topic. It's an idea for the overall layout and it's a wip. I was going to post in the quest topic when I've updated the maps and notes so that they are self contained.

Can I up the cultists movement then if my partner agrees so they're not slower than heavily armoured chaos warriors?

Skeleton has six movement and no armour so there is no point in changeing that

[Gold Bearer]

Undead are supposed to be slow. It just seems way too slow for a completely unarmoured human unless it's a proper wizard, and it seems like all the monsters I'm using are slow.

[Sjeng]

that actually is a valid point. Suggest it in the monster stats topic. We'll see what others think.

First Quest of the chapter is up: viewtopic.php?f=200&t=2489

I'll be working on the next Quest while the rest of the forum comments on this one. I intend to let you do the bulk of the writing for the other two Quests in the chapter (or we can swap if you really want to write the crypts). I can help with the balancing afterwards, which probably won't be a big deal as long as you keep and eye on how many monsters you've added to the Quest.

[Gold Bearer]

I did the last two so I'll let you take the lead on the first two. I do have a few ideas about the catacombs quest though that I still haven't written up. I'll post that later today...

Edit, later that day: I wrote it into the intro that there's a secret door in the very first room of the quest with a fountain they can use to heal and recover spells because there's no gap between the quests. That's where they get the intro as well.

I think there should be a few times where falling rock traps slit them up. In the Euro rules the square that triggers falling rocks isn't the same as the square where they actually fall. We could also use a rolling boulder to separate them. This is where the trap doors come in. It would be funny if they think they're about to join up but there's a trap door in one of the rooms so they're actually miles away from each other.

We could use rock blockages top seperate some rooms to make it like a proper maze layout.

I wouldn't mind trying the layout of the quest and you could populate it with monsters and traps (I'll just put in the fall rocks) if you're up for doing it that way.

I think we should put in a choas champion of each god in the four quests as leaders of the chaos factions. We won't have to write any more stat lines, we'll just say in the quest notes that they have +1 attack dice, defence dice, BP and MP, and exagerated versions of the warriors abilities. Nurgle causes desease to anyone he wounds like the fogwalkers, slannesh can reroll defence as well as attack dice with the same rules, khorne gets three attacks and tzeench gets a random chaos spell. And as a reward for finding and killing them the heroes get a chaos seal from each one worth 50gp but they fit together so if they get all four it will be worth 500gp. I think that would be a nice touch. There's already one in the citadel and I was going to put one in the top-right room in the ogre quest anyway.


I've updated chaos armour so that instead of just increacing the defence dice they now defend if they roll any black shields, nicked from the dark company.

I'm just going to leave this here:

Cultists Full Page.png

It's a bit large since I made it 300dpi, but this is a 8.5" x 11" reference sheet for the abilities of the cultists during this Chapter.
I figured laying everything out this way would be easier to read, which makes it easier to add to Quests.

[Gold Bearer]

Nice!

[Daedalus]

...And then at the start of each quest the intro text can include a flashback to Mentor explaining that god.
