Record

Breakthrough vs Bloathorn's Foul Herd: Victory. The avenger's attempt at entering the city of Mordheim was clearly impossible without routing the beastman speerverband in the outlying forests first. The enemy was obliging enough to come to us, their hounds racing ahead to tear at our longbeards. The enemy struck down many of our warriors, but the fell chieftain and his bestigors had raced ahead of their gor warriors, allowing our remaining dwarves to reap a grim toll. The enemy chieftain was unable to keep his herd in line, and was forced to flee. The path to Mordheim was open.

Chance Encounter vs Bloathorn's Foul Herd: Victory. Having entered the city of Mordheim proper, we set about scouring for wyrdstone. Returning from a successful hunt we encountered the beastmen again. Again they charged into our ranks, and again our superior skill prevailed. This battle proved far more bloody than our previous encounter, with Thrumson suffering a permanent leg injury while the enemy chieftain died and one of his lieutenants was horribly maimed.

Surprise Attack vs Malkavian's Menagerie Magnifique: Victory. Thrumson was ambushed while surveying a portion of the city. He was able to disable one of the nurglite strongmen with his crossbow, but was overwhelmed. The rest of the warband was able to form up and drive the enemy from the field. Goury suffered a hand injury and was replaced with his mostly identical cousin Goury II.

Wyrdstone Hunt vs Horned Beasts of Grognard: Victory. Initially we seemed at a disadvantage, as the more mobile beastmen seized two of the three shards in the region and threatened to overwhelm us with their superior numbers. The enemy was also confident, as their vanguard of hounds and a mighty centigor raced ahead of their main force and crashed into our warriors. The centigor crushed Beowulf with his great bulk, his the hounds floundered against Tony and his avengers. The entire beastman vangaurd was cut down, with Tony claiming the centigor's wyrdstone shard. Grognard, the beastman chieftain, was unable to keep his gors in the field and was forced to retreat.

Wyrdstone Hunt vs The Penance of the Old Ones: Defeat. We were able to recover most of the shards, but casualties forced us to flee. Two avengers died and Beowulf lost a pit fight but suffered no further injury.

Breakthrough vs Horned Beasts of Grognard: Victory. The avengers were able to block the beastmen from striking deeper into the city. Their vanguard was crushed by our warriors without serious injury, and they chose to retreat before suffering further losses. The last of the original longbeards retired, and much of our income was spent on recruiting and equipping new warriors we hope will be able to replace our slayers.

Bar Brawl vs Order of the Blazing Hammer: Victory. The brawl began poorly for us, as the sisters started knocking out more and more of our dwarfs. The tide turned in our favor as Henry, Tony, and Thrumson finally made it downstairs to confront the bulk of the sisters. Recognizing how outmatched they were, the nuns fled. The young avengers performed so well that we were able to replace Goury and Beowulf with Steven and Johnny. One last round to the promise of youth!

Monster Hunt vs The Craftmen and Sisters of Carnal Knowledge: Victory. The sisters divided themselves between us and the Craftmen, and the Craftmen took down the dragon, but we prevailed against the Craftmen in the final melee and claimed the dragon's horde.
