Scenario 062 – Ladder Chase
By Ross "Pancreas Boy" Franks,
as appeared in Pancreas Boy's
Wyrdstone Shards
Transcribed by Peter Ward.
Edited by The Mordheimer.
A temple
of old has been found, from the days before the great fire. It is said that upon
its tallest summit is an artifact of great wonder and glory. The problem is, the
temple has been over run by moss and rodent droppings and thus has become
un-scaleable. Only ladders will help this dilemma and the warbands rush towards
the area with dizzy heights on their minds.
Terrain Each
player takes it in turns to place a piece of terrain set up within an area
roughly 4’ x 4’. Place a temple in the centre of the board. This could be made
out of 3 books, starting with a large book at the bottom and the smallest book
at the top. Place a counter at the top of the temple to represent the artifact.
Setup
All
players roll a D6 and whoever rolls highest chooses which warband sets up first.
Special Rules
The Ladders: Each warband has 3 ladders (1 x 4½” ladder and 2 x 3” ladders).
To climb onto the first level of the temple, the largest ladder will have to be
used for figures to climb up. The other two ladders will be used to climb the
following levels. Ladders need to be carried by 2 figures (a large figure counts
as 2), but carrying models cannot shoot or fight in hand to hand unless they
drop the ladder. Ladders can be stolen by other warbands. No movement can be
done on the temple, except for setting up ladders and moving to the artifact,
once on the top level.
The
Artifact: The artifact itself is a randomly chosen magical item and can be
used immediately, once found. The winning warband keeps the magical item.
Starting the Game
Both
players roll a D6. The highest scoring player takes the first turn.
Ending the Game
The game ends if a
warband fails a Rout test. The routing warband loses.
Experience
+1 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1
Experience.
+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.
+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 Experience for each enemy he puts
Out Of Action.
+2
For Finding the Artifact: If a Hero finds the artifact he earns +2 Experience.
