Despatches

War in the North!! By Pierre Sur-coraislamy Scrivener to the Court of the Duc de Rheged.

The Slann continue to prosecute the war against Chaos!

As the Nobles of Rheged slowly advance and expand it is only

the noble Slann who dare to take the fight to the forces of

Chaos. The great Forest of Orton has fallen to the relentless

Lizards, whilst rumours reach us of a force marching against

the lands surrounding The Skull Throne of Khorne. The

Bretonnians continue to lick their wounds after their savage

engagement with the greenskins whilst the Dwarves continue

with their nonsensical advance against an imagined enemy.

The Dwarves on the March

The Great Game By Pierre Sur-coraislamy Scrivener to the Court of the

Duc de Rheged.

A treatise on the movements of the armies of Rheged.

The Minions of Chaos

The “mighty” Chaos Warlord continues to cower in his

pitifully dank city. Running from the glorious hosts of the

Slann who are casting down his blasphemous idols with

impunity. Having already lost the Tower of Pestilence and

it’s environs, the great Bog Oak forest of Oorton has also

fallen to the armies of Tzacoatl. Rumour has also reached

us of a second Slann army advancing upon the Warlords

own temple to his debased God.

The Noble Armies of Caer Curwen

With the failure of the Bretonnians Lakeland adventure the

Nobles have been somewhat quiet. The defeated banner has

remained safely secured in the fortress of Castel Lorton.

Meanwhile in the North the Bretonnian forces continue to

advance through the lands of Tzacoatl toward the Coast. In

the East they continue their slow expansion toward the

moutnains of storm and liberating the Barony of Lyaisle.

The Throng of Karak Jhaz

The Dwarves have continued with their southerly advance

and continue to claim that they are engaged in battle against

some vile Rat mutants whoever our brave reporter Rufus

Gamwich states that all he has seen so far is three rather

plump Rats in the ruins of a number of small villages.

Indeed he was somewhat perplexed as to the Dwarfs

attitude toward such succulent potential dinners.

There is a report of this ‘battle’ on page 4 with a

commentary by Rufus Gamwich.

The Glorious Hosts of Tor Sarior

Prince Golnwaen’s advance has gorund to a halt as the

Prince begins to display his now legendary procrastination

having the entire army of Tor Sarior sit around

redistributing baggage and discussing possible tactics and

the dangers of advancing to the East. The Everqueen must

be getting sorely tired of her champions continued failure.

The Empire of Barrowstown

The Emperor Elect continues to shore up his new power

base replacing anybody whose loyalty is not assured. His

forces have been stymied by the rapacious expansion of the

Dwarfs last year howerver the imperila Fleet have liberated

the Island County of Wahlneigh and it’s capital town of

Altenholm.

The Crooked Nose Tribe

Rumours abound of a new Warlord having come to the Cald

Beck. As of yet no one knows if Snazzgit is still in control

of Fell Skar Pike or if this new Warlord has taken over.

It is rumoured that this is a mighty Orc Warlord mounted

on a War Wyvern.

Following on from their savage engagement with the

Forces of Caer Curwenthe Waaagh of Cald Beck dug in

and prepared to face the slowly approaching Elves of Tor

Sarior.

The Eternal Realm of Tzacoatl

The Glorious forces of Tzacoatl continue to advance deeper

into the wastes, the Forest of Orton has been retaken and

the lands that were once known as Kirkbeamtun are now

being purified and cleansed. In the North the third sphere

have reportedly advanced on the Skull throne of Khorne, the

loss of such an important religious and psychological icon

will surely have dire consequences for the Blood Lord.

Clan Skragskritt

Apart from the rambings and deluded military actions of the

Dwarves there is no sign that any of these creatures exist.

The Rhegedian Chronicle 3

Dispatches Hot from the front line.

First we have a report from the Dwarven armies with a

commentary from Rufus Gamwich.

The events of the second battle of the Campaign against the

Skaven, written by Morgrim, Son of Rukh, Third Scribe to

High King Grimli Lunnsson. (Aand a thoroughyly dull Dwarf

he is too!)

The 1st and 2nd Dwarven armies, led by the Rik Grimli

Lunnsson, The Wise himself, deployed in the outskirts of the

Nazrun Slave Pits. A small number of buildings were

scattered about, but the most significant features were a

mysterious river that cut through a quarter of the battle field and

a strangely glowing orb in the centre. (I found the entire area to

be quite a quaint tumble down ruin with some very interesting

flora especially mushrooms.)

Eyeing up the glowing orb warily, the dwarven forced deployed

in an impressive battle line and waited for the defenders. (I

never saw a ‘glowing orb’ but I did watch as those clumsy

dwarves flattened an entire Circle of Geiglestufle lesser spotted

mushrooms, sacrilege!)

They did not have long to wait. Three giant rats

approached from the centre of the settlement. (I’m not

sure that you can call 3 rats ‘defenders’)

The giant rats, without the guidance of any handlers,

(Erm not sure what sort of ‘handlers’ Rats would

have.) marched straight towards the Dwarven line. As

they did, the sorcerous portal cast “Soulblight” upon the

surprised Dwarven Hammerers, causing a sickly

weakness to overcome them. Thankfully the effect

passed quickly. (I did see a flash of light as I bent

down to try and recover some of the Geiglestufle

mushrooms.)

The king raised his hand, signalling the line to hold

until the foe closed the distance.

This time the sorcerous portal cast “Plague of Rust”

upon the Dwarven Hammerers, causing their master

crafted armour to being to rot, shedding away gromril

in clouds of tiny flakes.

The giant rats marched straight towards the Dwarven

line again, reaching the mysterious river which turned

out to be a Necrotic Ooze. One of the rats succumbed to

the poisonous waters, but the other two, in an

unexpected show of bravery, held firm.

The mysterious portal was thankfully silent as Rik

Grimli Lunnsson at last signalled The Organ Gun

“Drung Uzkul” to fire. Under the expert guidance of

Master Engineer Dok Dreksson the result was never

in doubt. The remaining giant rats vanished in a cloud

of destruction and the battle was over. (such a shame as

those Rats would have been delicious sauted over an

open fire with some butter, wild garlic, which was

growing quite abundantly, and thyme.)

Despite much grumbling from the Dwarven

Longbeards and the Dragon Slayer Zaki about the lack

of a decent battle, the Skaven had suffered a crushing

defeat. (as far as I could tell the Dwarf’s seemed to be

less than convinced that these rats were the ‘skaven’ of

legend.)

The giant rats were vanquished and the Nazrun Slave

Pits captured by the Dwarven forces (I didn’t see any

slaves nor indeed a pit!)
