Your warband has been in the City of the Damned and has had a difficult time finding Wyrdstone and keeping your warband happy. You have recently heard rumors at local watering hole that there is a pile of Wyrdstone so large that an Ogre could not carry it all! After hearing the story over many drinks there are several warbands contemplating the idea of searching for the pile. Along with the story of Wyrdstone there are consistent stories of Demons, Zombies and Bears. Oops, I mean nefarious things that lurk in this unexplored section of town. It has been rumored that the famed “Town Cryer” of Mordheim walks the streets here.

Terrain
Take turns placing terrain around the gaming table but be sure to leave an 8 inch circle open in the middle of the table. This 8” area will represent where the Wyrdstone pile is located. In placing terrain leave streets or alley ways open.

Set-Up
All players roll 1D6 and whoever rolls highest sets up first. If more than two warbands, please use Mordheim Annual 2002 page 27 Diagram 1. Starting models will begin 12 inches inside the table and further models to come out for the fight will start at 8 inches.

Special Rules
Who's In: One hero and one henchmen group will be chosen at random. Roll 1D6 for each Hero, the Hero with the highest dice roll will be the first to venture into the City. In the event of a tie, keep rolling until one Hero is the winner. Do the same for henchmen group. The rest of your war band seems to be lost in the fog for now. (Your gaming group or GM should agree what the D6 roll will represent: Captain, champion, young bloods and etc)

Visibility: In addition, the heavy fog will limit visibility to 4 inches. If you attempt to run more than 4 inches then roll 1D6 on a one (1) or two (2) the warrior must consult the chart below. On a three (3) or better on a 1D6 the warrior has no problems running. If you have a rabbit's foot you may use it to re-roll. If the model has a lucky charm they may use it to avoid a bad effect (2-8).

2D6	Results
2	Crud, AAHH!: The warrior is Out Of Action.
3	Crud, Mommy!: The warrior runs full distance in a random direction.
4	Crud, Ouch!: The warrior is Stunned.
5	Anybody: Move 4" in a random direction.
6	Crud! Ouch!: The warrior is Knocked Down.
7	Whooo was that!: Stand still and listen.
8	Oh, Light! I think?: Move 4" in any direction you choose.
9-10	Yikes!: The warrior is treated as having failed a charge, but no other effect.
11-12	Graceful Turn: The warrior dodges a fatal accident. No effect.

We Got Company!: For each warband D3+1 Zombies will be generated around the Wyrdstone pile when a model takes some Wyrdstone. The Zombies will appear 8 inches away and will be randomized by scatter dice. The Zombies will have home court advantage; they know this area like the back of their hand, if they have one. Zombies are in search of fresh meat to eat, thus in this scenario the Zombies can charge a warband model that is 8 inches away on a 4+. Familiarity and hunger (MMM….brains) make their keenness higher. It will be possible for the Zombies to charge through the fog and DO NOT have to roll on the random counter above.

If a player does not wish to move his/her models to the Wyrdstone pile the GM may use any persuasive techniques necessary to encourage such behavior.

Starting the Game
Roll a D6. The player rolling highest has the first turn and order of play proceeds clockwise around the table (based on where players placed their warbands).

Ending the Game
When the game is down to one warband left then the winner should be determined by who has the most Wyrdstone recovered and Zombie kills. There are many options to declare the winner. Your gaming group could use these options:

1. Most Wyrdstone recovered.
2. Last Man Standing.
3. Most Heroic Actions (Made up at your discretion)
4. Most kills added with Wyrdstone recovered.
5. The Wyrdstone is brought to safety (D6+2 Wyrdstone).
6. Various combinations of the aforementioned and others.
