Warhammer Mordheim

Scenario
The Sixth Patrol led by Captain Will Schwertsohn, who has just been promoted, is on the regular patrol mission exiting from the third village on way . There were some rumors at the barracks about Orc raid, chaos warrior, walking dead... Captain Will Schwertsohn suddenly notices some figures coming out of the fog from the hill lying ahead. Although they seem to be a group of men there is something faulty. As they came closer he sees the frontline of the group is walking wierdly. He commands his men; "Crossbows take up position at top floors, others to the village entrance. Be quick." He murmurs himself; "Holly Sigmar, it was true, these are undead." - Scenario by Alper Cibili who is our Mordheim Game Master.

Battle
This was my very first fantasy experience. I could not catch the game. I tried to kill the vampire count but could not succeed and just caused a wound, which in return made him hide from my crossbows for the following 2 turns. :-) It was a massacre for humans, causing only 3 zombies out of action. Finally The Sixth Patrol rallied and it was a victory for the Undead.

With very great luck with the dices I have lost nobody from my warband. (Thinking about the 3 crossbows, 1 youngblood and 1 champion who were out of action.)

Scenario
Will Schwertsohn was still anxious for fleeing against Undead. His ego was hurt by retreating in his first mission as Captain. When he returned the outpost he was given a new patrol mission to check the Holy Sigmar's temple nearby.

Meanwhile Elves were entering the temple in search for information about an old artifact when they met Undead.

Battle
There was black smoke coming from the temple, Captain Schwertsohn saw movement in the farm house ruins at the village entrance. Could it be one of the Holy Sigmar's priests ?
- Champion Reisender come with me. Champion Zontlich ! Take Barde and Ottman check out the temple to see if there is anybody alive... Spike you stay here and give us cover...

When they reached the farm house they found one of the Holy Sigman's priests. As he attacked the two men like a mad man Captain Schwertsohn took out his pistol and hit the priest in head. As captain put the priest to his shoulder and turned back they heard a mechanical noise... Chtong...
- Sir these are the walking deads...
- Holy Sigmar not these again, corporal you get these out from us with the crossbows while I take the priest to safety ...

One of the zombies fell down beheaded as the first arrow rounds fell down, meanwhile Champion Zontlich entered the temple with the youngbloods. He saw the head priest running here and there with a hammer in his hands. Youngblood Barde hit the priest on the head with his halbers strong shaft and took him to his shoulders. Captain, not to be an open target, hid behind the farmhouse with the priest on his shoulder. Sublime was shooting arrows like rain from the roof of this farmhouse. He hit another zombie and send him back to his hell...The Necromancer, with Goblin and zombies, rushed out on the crossbowmen standing in the village road knocking out two of them. Champion Psycho who came to the help of crossbowmen got a hard punch in his chest and fell down.

A sudden ache burned Captain's shoulder, when he reached for his shoulder he felt the arrows head which got though his light armor, he knelt down. He looked over to the road where the damned undeads came from and saw only the Ripe who was kicking the zombie's bones, which he killed. He called out for Sublime on the roof;
- Where is the damned zombies ?
- Sir, I do not. They suddenly disappeared.

The warcries coming from the far end of the village reached his ears... Captain made his decision...
- Forgive us Holy Sigmar... Cease fire we retreat...

At the outpost that night.... Physcho moving his hand on the freshly treated wound in his chest;
- Boss, the girls at the tavern will love this...
- You got up as soon as possible and start training the new recruit.

The blackness of the night and the silnce of the outpost was creating a terrifying atmosphere...
"- Next time" said Captain... "next time I will send this damned deads to hell..."

The luck was half on my side with me, I suffered an Old Battle Wound on Physco but added a warrior to my warband. (2 crossbows, and 1 champion were out of action.)

Scenario
Captain Will Schwertsohn was sleeping in his comfortable bed. It was his turn for the outpost garrison and he would not deny how he has missed sleeping on a real bed. Sure it did not take long as he jumped up from his bed with the noise of a falling body.

Battle
- What the hell is going on ?
- Sir one of the sentries has fallen down. He can not breath like something is squeezing his throat.
The arrow hit the wooden wall with a whistle just a few inches above from Captain's head. He knelt down and shouted;
- Everybody to arms ! Crossbows to the roof. If you see anything moving shoot at him until it stops moving ! Physco take Ottman and go to the north ruins see if anybody there, Harry you and Barde will stay with me, we will look west these arrows should be coming from there. Bring the new kid.
The 3 crossbowmen started shooting the darkness of the night. They have achieved to knock down 2 elves in the north and another elf bowmen in the east. Barde took out another elf with his halbers as he heard Champion Reisender :
- Sir I have found them ! Rush north !
As he hit an elf warrior with his axe taking off his precious life. As Captain reached the ruins with Zontlich and Barde with him, the elves had fleed.

I have found 1 light armor and 1 heavy armor which I have given to Captain.

Scenario
Captain Will Schwertsohn went on a patrol at Demirbuken town after local miners informations. The camp fire had saved him from patroling on horse till morning. After his "Demount" order all soldiers made their way to the source of fire. The view they saw was no ordinary camp. There was a young girl burning in the middle of camp fire and in front of it a group was seating as a circle and murmuring in a strange language. It was obvious they were in a trans although their faces were hidden with the different colors of cloth they were wearing.

Champion Zontlich drew out his sword and snarled "what is this ? It is a king of black rite. I will rip their heads off." Captain Schwertsohn pressing his corporal's shoulder down, reseated him and pointed out the right side with his head. There were guards protecting the rite. - Scenario by Alper Cibili

- Barde ! You take the rookie and go up the village find out if anyone survived. Crossbows position at the farm house down the village and give us cover. Corporal Zontlich and Ottman come with me. We will check out the town square. Let's gather the survivors and get out of this hell.

Corporal Zontlich saw the two villagers lying on the ground when he reached the town square he yelled Ottman the youngblood : " I will take this, you take the other". Meanwhile the crossbowmen had downed two of the shadows, they heard a closing snarl. "I will kill you damned animal" cried one of them and shot his arrow to the direction of the snarl. Just when a black shadow hit his chest and they both fell down. He took out his dagger and a vital battle started between man and animal.

At the upper of the village Barde was moving cautiously but with ease. As they had not seen anybody yet, there was nothing suspicious. In spite of the earth shakes they were moving fast. Barde noticed a villager while running near a ruin. He took him to his shoulder and ordered : "You go to the down of the village and help others, I will take this to the gathering point."

The rookie heard the foot steps behind him as he was running to the down village, he looked over his shoulder to see a huge darkness just behind. "No" he whispered himself "This is only a trick of the dark I must reach my buddies." As he turned around the corner he saw crossbowmen fighting, he ran into this mess with mace in one hand and dagger in the other. He noticed he was too late for bending down as the shadow he attacked behind swung the strange club in his hand. He fell down with the blow hitting in his neck, his hands reached his neck by reflex. He immediately died before noticing the warm liquid he felt was his own blood.

Captain made sure his youngbloods and corporal has carried the survivors to the safety. Fighting in this darkness had no difference than beating own. He made up his mind;
- We have taken what we can ! Marksmen retreat !

I have lost the warrior, worse my captain have received nervous condition (-1 I) and chest wound (-1 T). Now he has to stand behind. As good result I have recruited a new Champion, found a meele weapon and all my marksmen have managed to survive the dices.

Scenario
Captain Will Schwertsohn glanced the new corporal. Recruiting a new and battle hardened warrior in place of the warrior they lost last battle, had made his mood better. But because of the wounds he suffered lately he felt weak and nervous... As they were nearing town Asilzade (Aristocrat) they saw a fast crowd coming towards them. Captain drew his sword and go to meet them. This were the town citizens.

"Orcs !" cried a woman "Orcs have raided the town ! !" One of the upcoming citizens of the town hold the neck of Captain's horse. Captain recognized the man but could not remember his name, it was becoming frequent... "Captain my son is at the town... If you save him I will Kasabanın ileri gelenlerinden bir adam Çavuş'un did not pay attention to this shameless words, just said "We do not figt for money" and rode his horse.

"Soldiers forward at full speed ! Let's slaughter those green skins !"

Battle
The band dismounted and started searching when they reached town. "Physco take 4 men and take the upper road we will go from the down road." Captain saw the blonde boy about 17-18 running towards, it has been very easy this time he taught. "Hey kid we came here to take you out..." The kid frightened from the armed strangers turned around, with this movement he ran into the goblins, who had not recognized yet.

"Soldiers the green skins are here" Physco and the soldiers flew and joined Captain. "Crossbowmen take those Goblins down." The crossbowmen did not double his order and reaped two Goblins, they could not shoot the third goblin as he was very near to the boy. Just then Orc warriors came out from nowhere. "Marksmen take position ! Others stay with me ! Nobody will take a one to one skirmish!" One of the orc warriors took down Ottman with his arrow. Captain saw the huge orc coming out of the trees and understood this was the warboss. "Marksmen shoot that huge orc." A rain of arrows started at the huge orc's direction and one arrow found the warboss. The orcs without the warboss disappered, achieving the mission Grey Seer had given.

After a good 66 Ottman managed to live to do new adventures. I have found a new melee weapon.

Harabe halindeki Kaos tapınağı bir kez daha kan ve ölümle dolmuştu. 4 grubun kıyasıya çarpışması ile verilen her kayıp sanki tapınağa yavaş yavaş hayat veriyordu. Tapınağın ortasındaki altardan fışkıran garip renkli dumanın başında duran Sigmar rahibi kara ayini durdurmak için bildiği duaları okuyordu. Altar’a girişi koruyan yobaz fanatikler içeri girmeye cesaret edenleri biçiyorlardı.

Çavuş Will Schwertsohn adamları ile birlikte rahibi durdurmaya çalışan Arkharian’lılarla nefes nefese bir mücadele içindeydi. Mutasyona uğramış dev yaratık her kolunu indirişinde bir adamı yere düşüyordu ama buna rağmen askerler topraklarını Kaos’tan temizlemek için insanüstü gayret gösteriyorlardı. Çavuş, çarpışma esnasında Kaos tarikatının liderini bir türlü göremiyordu. Tarikat liderini öldürmesi diğer müritleri dağıtacağını düşünüyordu ama liderin bu kargaşadan korkup kaçmış olmalıydı.

Altar’ın diğer tarafında ise cadı avcıları, arda kalan askerlerle birlikte yürüyen ölülere karşı mücadele ediyorlardı. Cadı avcılarının cesaret ve yiğitliği askerleri etkilemişti. Cadı Avcılarının isimsiz lideri her kılıcını kaldırdığında bir zombi huzura kavuşuyordu. Çarpışmanın biraz gerisinde duran iki karaltıdan en önde duranı konuştu; “Bilge dostum, emin misin? Gözlerimin gördüğü beni bayağı şaşırtıyor.”

“Evet, kontum Atroyil. Ta kendisi, aradığımız varis o. Ama ölümlülerin eline düştüğünden beri ne olduğunu unutmuş. Ve sanırım ölümlü Tanrı’nın hizmetkarları onu kendi çıkarları için canlı bırakmış.”

Will Schwertsohn bağırdı; “Söyleyin o rahibe daha fazla burayı tutamayacağız. İki taraftan da dayanmaya çalışıyoruz. Elini çabuk tutsun.” Bu sırada Sigmar rahibi ezberlediği sözcükleri daha bitirmeden Altar’dan çıkan duman birden yok oldu. Bunun ardından Kaos müritleri teker teker geri çekilmeye başladılar. Yorgun düşen askerler düşmanı takip edemeyecek kadar halsiz düştüklerinden bazıları diğer kanada destek vermeye giderken diğerleri yaralılara bakmayı tercih ettiler. Çavuş Altar’dan çıkan rahiple burun buruna geldi. “İyi iş çıkardınız rahip efendi.”

Bu arada yürüyen ölülerin geldiği kanatta da sevinç çığlıkları yükseldi. Düşen ölülerin yenisi ayağa kalkmıyordu. Cadı avcılarının indirdiği son zombiden sonra çavuş Will rahibe dönerek “Bunun tek açıklaması var. Sigmar sonunda bize elini uzattı.” Dedi ve güldü. İsimsiz Cadı Avcı Lideri ise diğerleri ile aynı görüşte değildi. Halen lanetin kokusunu alabiliyordu. Hislerinin onu yönlendirdiği yöne doğru ilerleyerek diğerlerinden ayrıldı. Lanetin kaynağına iyice yaklaştığını hissediyordu. Birden önünde genç ve karizmatik birisi belirdi.

Lorald'ar Khenrer, bu aptal Sigmar uşaklarının nasıl bu kadar çabuk kandığına inanmıyordu. Ufak oyunu işe yaramıştı. Minik renkli bir sis oyunu onları asıl hedeften uzak tutmuştu. Şimdi taş elindeydi ve efendisine geri dönebilirdi. Bu topraklardan sıkılmıştı. Sağ kalan adamlarını toplayıp yola çıktı. Güneydoğu Nordland’ı terkeden bu kafileyi izleyen minik bir karaltı zıplayıp hoplayıp ufak bir delikten yerin altına indi; “GreySeer’e habers vermemz gereks. İnsanlays yemi yuttulays. Taşı götürüyorlays.”

Tapınaktaki son kahramanca savunmadan sonra Will Schwertsohn terfi ettirilerek bir bölüğün başına getirildi.
