• CAPTAINS TABLE • 1 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior is about to speak to a potential captain, when the man in question suddenly grabs his heart and collapses onto the ground, smacking his head on a rock before plummeting into the ocean depths off the end of the jetty. By the time he has been pulled out with the Warrior's assistance, it is too late. The man has died of a heart attack. 2 LADY CASSANDRA D'AMORÈ The Warrior meets a fine Bretonnian lady whose white painted Galleon lying in the harbour is filled with many beautiful ladies blowing kisses and giggling at the Warriors and other sailors as they stand on the jetty. She says she runs a fine “Lady of the Evening' pleasure ship, and for a small price of 2D6 x 100 Gold, she will allow the Warriors to board the ship and join in the ‘entertainment' as they sail to their destination. Once paying, roll 1D6 for each Warrior on the table below. The Warrior Priest, High Priest and other religious type characters need not roll on this table if the do not wish to, however they must still pay full price. The Imperial Noble and Bretonnian Knight may roll twice on the table and pick which dice roll they wish to keep. The Dwarf, Snotling Team, and Halfling Thief must subtract 1 from the roll.
Hull Points: 1D6 3 ADMIRAL TRAFALGAS The Admiral is a bear of a man, standing at least 7 feet tall. A huge blond beard hangs down to his potbelly and he strides around the jetty. Apparently, he is looking for good men that can help him cross the ocean waves to Lustria. The Admiral will not take them anywhere else. For each Ocean Event that the Warriors make it through alive, each Warrior can take 100 Gold. Any Ocean Events that are good, or that nothing happens, the Admiral does not pay them. Hull Points: 4D6 4 FALZON CURTBLADE The Warrior encounters an old friend, Falzon Curtblade, who only too happily agrees to take the Warriors out in his brand spanking new sailing yacht. Cursing inwardly that they didn't get away in time, the Warriors, all smiles and jokes, make their way onto the tiny yacht. Something about the fellow makes the Warriors decide against refusing his offer. At the end of every month, roll 1D6 on the following table, after any event rolls have been completed:
Hull Points: 1D6 + 1 5 AMRA Much has been told about the man called ‘Amra'. With blue eyes, and a black flowing mane, Amra is the self proclaimed Lion of the Oceans. With gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, Amra is one of the mightiest pirates around. Sullen of eyes and honed of body, the mighty barbarian pirate is famous for his insatiable lust for enemy blood. His skill with a cutlass is unsurpassed, and his agility and strength are vast beyond belief. Some say Amra is the living embodiment of Triton himself, King of the Seas. The Warriors are fortunate indeed to have found this famous pirate captain. Amra is a dangerous but just captain. If any of the Warriors is ever caught stealing from or harming one of the other crewmembers, Amra will no doubt hear about it. Amra will challenge the Warrior involved to a fight. Amra has the stats of a Battle-Level 10 Barbarian, and has maximum Wounds. If the Warrior manages to kill Amra, all is well. However, if Amra kills the Warrior, he is not dead, instead place him of 1 Wound and roll on the Warrior Overboard table. Amra throws him o the sharks. The Lion of the Seas accepts nothing but the best behaviour on his ship and any who fail to treat his men with the utmost respect they deserve will be killed, no questions asked. Hull Points: 5D6 6 ARCHBISHOP GAZARUTH The Warrior finds the mighty ship of the Archbishop of Altdorf moored at the harbour. The Warriors are invited aboard if they wish, with one strict rule. There is to be no gambling, singing, wenching, drinking or entertainment of any sort. If any of the Warriors is involved in an event that includes one of these things, the Warrior, after resolving the event, is immediately thrown overboard and must roll on the Warrior Overboard Table. Hull Points: 4D6 7 PLANK OF WOOD The Warrior is about to give up finding a captain when a large plank of rotting wood drifts past him. If the Warriors are really desperate for a Captain, they may grab hold of the plank of wood and hopefully eventually drift in the right direction. The Warriors may make 3 rolls on the Warrior Overboard table (found in the Lost Kingdoms Ocean Event Table) and pick the highest roll. Roll for the group as a whole, not each Warrior. With any luck, the Warriors may drift to their destination eventually. 8 CAPTAIN FRODMEI This captain is a shortish man with a big white beard and moustache. The Warriors can get a free ride on his ship if they please. However, Frodmei has a lot of stops to make, since his main job is a courier for the Empire, so the journey will be a very long one. Hull Points: 3D6 + 3 9 ONE EYED WILLY This mangy old dog has a large leather eye patch covering his left eye. For the small cost of 1D6 x 5 gold for each Warrior, he will take them to his destination as quickly as possible. Hull Points: 3D6 + 3 10 GLIB THE FAT MERCHANT The Warriors are offered passage aboard the Empire Greatship called “the Goat”. If they accept, the captain of the ship, a fat greasy looking man, offers to trade with the Warriors for any goods he has on his ship. Each Warrior may take 1D3 Treasure Cards from the discard pile and pay double the value to claim it as his own if he wishes. After buying, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1, the item is a fake and absolutely worthless. Hull Points: 2D6 + 2 11 NO CAPTAIN After a shocking attempt at looking around the jetty and surrounding shops for a captain, the Warrior ends up giving up in disgust. No one is sailing today, it would seem. 12 CAPTAIN ‘STAN THE MAN' This fine fellow ports a red cap on his balding head and a pair of baggy red overalls that make him seem older than he actually is. He rides in his Bretonnian Galleon called “The Lexus”. Hull Points: 4D6 13 CAPTAIN CRUSOE The Warriors are ushered aboard a tiny little raft held together with bits of decaying rope and vine, which looks as if it has seen better days. Hull Points: 4 14 CAPTAIN PICARD This man is bald and enjoys yanking on his finely fitting uniform to make it fit just right. With his hands seemingly always behind his back, he shows the Warriors his mighty ship named “Exitprize”. Hull Points: 5D6 15 PIRATE SCURVY BOB The swarthy looking character stands on two peg legs made of wood and iron. There is also an iron parrot on his shoulder, which is constantly slipping in front of his face. With cries of “Argh, who turned out the lights?” and “Where'd the sun go, boys?” the Pirate leads the Warriors to his ship, the “Saucy Sue”. Hull Points: 3D6 16 JACQUES COUSTEAU Jacques Cousteau is a Bretonnian captain, staying in the Settlement while his ship picks up cargo. The Warriors are quite welcome to travel with him if they don't mind going out of their way quite a bit. Jacques is an underwater explorer and has heard of a reef a few months travel away which contains the wreck of a fabled sailing vessel. If the Warriors accompany him then after the first 2 months of travel, they will reach the reef. Roll 1D6:
Hull Points: 3D6 17 CAPTAIN RAVIOLA Captain Raviola is a strange little man of considerable weight who hails from Tilea. His hair is jet black and oily, and he has a long moustache that he constantly twirls between his fingertips. When talking to the Warriors he makes incredible gestures with his hands. He invites the Warriors on board to sample his latest culinary delight, small parcels of meat wrapped in a soft floury dough type mixture. He names them after himself, and since there are so many of them he calls them Ravioli. If the Warriors enjoy the meal then Captain Raviola will gladly transport them to their destination. Hull Points: 2D6+3 18 THE GREAT HEALER The Great Healer offers to take the Warriors to wherever they might be heading. Apparently he is on a pilgrimage to Lustria to share his healing skills with the pygmies, but will be happy to make a detour to accommodate the Warriors. In addition, each month if the Warriors receive any damage roll 1D6 for each Warrior. On a roll of 5-6 the Great Healer has healed the Warriors Wounds free of charge. When the vessel reaches the destination roll 1D6. On a roll of 1 the Great Healer was actually a Chaos Sorcerer sailing around the world to recruit new mercenaries. Now roll a further 1D6 for each Warrior. On a roll of 1 the Warrior has been brainwashed due to drugs in the method of healing and runs off to join ‘The Great Healer's' mighty Chaos hordes. Hull Points: 4D6 19 CAPTAIN JACK Captain Jack is an odd man. He mumbles to himself for the entire journey about impending doom, chaos attacks, Nurgle plague and all manner of disheartening things. In fact, the journey is so depressing that if any Warrior has any non-permanent Luck then he must lose 1 point of it. However, the captain's vessel is a sleek boat and gets to the destination in record time. Hull Points: 3D6 + 2 20 SLEDGE HAMMER Captain Sledge Hammer is the most violent of all Captains the Warriors have come across. For no charge he lets the Warriors travel with him. The Warriors notice that he is never without his enormous pistol which he has nicknamed ‘Thunder'. At every occasion he gets, Sledge Hammer pulls out ‘Thunder' and fires it off. For each ocean event involving a character who the Warriors interact with, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the violent Captain Sledge Hammer has blasted the poor soul away. The Warriors may ignore the rest of the event. Hull Points: 3D6 21 CHIEF UGGLE “IGGLE” BACK The only captain the Warrior can locate is this strange little pygmy captain, bouncing up and down with great excitement all of the time. Apparently, his friends call him “Iggle”. The Warrior, shrugging, follows the little man to his giant canoe. Hull Points: 2D6 22 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior can locate no sign of anyone willing to take the group to their destination. He will have to try again another day. 23 BEOWUL THE NORSEMAN While asking questions of a local fisherman about the whereabouts of a captain, a huge bear of a man grabs the Warrior in a huge bear hug from behind, stating very, very loudly that he has just what the Warrior is looking for. After gasping for breath, the Warrior spies his ship. It is a mighty Norse Longship, shrouded in mist with a huge dragon-headed prow. The Norseman insists that the Warriors have to do their fair share of the rowing in order to get their share of mead every night. Hull Points: 4D6 *All the Warriors add their Strength scores together and subtract it from 20. This remaining number is how many months the journey takes. The journey takes a minimum of 1 Month, it can not be reduced below this time. 24 SLAVE SHIP The Warrior is looking for a captain when he is set upon by a very large group of nasty looking brigands, who have also hunted down the other Warriors. Each Warrior tries his best to fight back, but there are too many of them, and nets and clubs are soon employed to put an end to their struggles. The Warriors awaken to find themselves locked in the storage hold of a rickety slave ship. While listening to other prisoners, they soon realise that they are heading for the same location as the Warriors were originally headed for. Apparently, the rules of the ship forbid activities on deck, but the slaves can do what they like down below. To represent this, any Ocean Events rolled that indicate something happens on the deck or outside the ship, then ignore the event. In addition, each Warrior must roll 1D6 at the end of every Month. If the result is a 1, he has lost 1D3 Unmodified Wounds due to horrible conditions and being starved. Once the journey has ended, each Warrior manages to make a break for freedom, but not before losing 1D6 Modified Wounds as spears shower all around them as they flee into the busy market streets. Hull Points: 3D6 25 RIVER MASTER KANEK-TOHEP The Warrior sees a mighty Nehekharan vessel moored at the jetty. A powerfully muscled dark skinned man wearing white robes and golden bracelets approaches the Warrior. He explains that he is on a journey of religious significance but will ferry the Warriors to their destination for a small fee. Each Warrior pays 1D6 x 20 Gold to the man if they wish to journey. Whenever the Warriors find a Treasure Card of any sort while on the journey, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1, Kanek-Tohep decides he wants to keep it as part of the payment. Discard the card immediately. Hull Points: 6D6 27 CAPTAIN PEG LEG PETE This swarthy character has an eye patch over one eye and a large wooden leg that seems too big for his body. Pete is known for his cowardly actions. Whenever the Warriors roll a Ship to Ship Battle , Pete panics and flees in the opposite direction. Re-roll the Event. Also, if the Warriors decide to journey with Pete, they are branded as Pirates; Mark this on their profile. Also of interest, Pete tells the Warriors that he has a brother who is looking for his eye patch. If ever the Warriors should roll Captain Number 27 (Peg Leg Pete) and they have the eye patch, Peg Leg Pete will waver the 100 Gold fee and give the Warrior 100 Gold as a reward, and as a special bonus for having survived an encounter with his brother. Hull Points: 4D6 27 CAPTAIN PEG LEG PETE Pete has a wooden peg leg, probably gained by a shark attack or something similar. He offers to take the Warriors to their destination for 100 Gold. If any of the Warriors have an eye patch belonging to Peg Leg Pete, he will gratefully take it off their hands in lieu of payment as he is so glad to finally find it. If the Warriors have met Capt'n Pete Leg Peg (Captain Number 26) Pete will also offer the Warrior 100 Gold to get his eye patch back. Pete Leg Peg is Peg Leg Pete's brother. Hull Points: 2D6+3 28 ADMIRAL BONESHANKS Admiral Boneshanks has been sailing for some sixty years. He is the best-known navigator in all of the Old World . The Warriors have been fortunate indeed to be able to travel on his mighty War Galleon, “The Mighty One”. The Admiral has a keen sense of direction and the sharpest eyesight the Warriors have ever seen. If the Mighty One is about to be involved in a ship-to-ship battle, Admiral Boneshanks has seen the opposing vessel and taken a detour to avoid them. Hull Points: 4D6+2 29 BILLY Billy has just bought a brand new rowboat and wants to test it on the ocean waves. If the Warriors don't wish to travel with Billy, then they must look for another Captain as normal. However, if they don't find anyone willing to take them, the offer from Billy is still open until they leave the Settlement. Hull Points: 4 30 CAPTAIN DUNDEE The Warrior encounters a very tanned warrior of some sort, standing next to a large canoe big enough to hold at least ten people. He tells the Warrior that he is on his way to Lustria to hunt for crocodiles, for their leathery skin is worth a fortune to collectors in Middenheim. The crocodiles in and around the coasts of Lustria are worth more than the tiny, salt-water variety that abounds in the Old World . The Warriors may go with Dundee if they wish and spend some time hunting crocodiles. Once the journey is over, roll 1D6 on the following table, before doing anything else:
Hull Points: 4D6 31 THE GREAT COUSINI Cousini is a travelling magician. He sails to ports of call and earns his keep by entertaining the citizens with his magic act. He agrees to take the Warriors to their next destination; however, he needs time to prepare for his next show. Keep rolling on the appropriate Ocean Events Table until a total of 2 Uneventful Months are rolled – Cousini will use this time in preparation.
Hull Points: 2D6 32 CAPTAIN MEMMO SHAMM This young captain offers the Warriors a payment of 1D6 x 100 gold each to be claimed on completion of the journey if they will help him build up a name for himself by crossing the seas. Hull Points: 2D6 33 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior locates a promising looking Captain, but as he starts towards him, he trips over a rock and falls on his face. When he gets up, the Captain is gone, and the Warrior can find no sign of him again. Perhaps try again another day. 34 GIANT TURTLE Just as the Warrior is about to give up his search, the surface of the ocean breaks and a huge green turtle rises to the surface. A small bearded man sits on its back, apparently unaffected by lack of oxygen beneath the waves. If the Warriors want to try this strange method of transportation, they can do so. The Turtle will not be attacked by any sea creatures or other ships (treat as Uneventful Month if rolled) because of some magical shield. Also, any events that refer to things happening beneath the deck of the ship, treat these as Uneventful months. Hull Points: 4D6 35 CAPTAIN BLUEBEARD Captain Bluebeard is a legendary pirate captain. If the Warriors sail with him they will be branded Pirates – mark this on their adventure record sheets. However, for each Ocean Event that involves another vessel of some sort, Bluebeard will instantly attack it. If the other vessels stats are not given, roll 3D6 for the number of Hull Points and 1D6 - 1 (minimum 1) for the Attack Points. At the end of the battle, Bluebeard plunders the ship, giving each Warrior a Treasure Card. Hull Points: 3D6+2 36 CAPTAIN AHAB Captain Ahab is just rolling the last of a collection of massive ale kegs onto him ship when the Warrior encounters him. Ahab then stands up, upon seeing the Warriors and proclaims “One Gold Coin to the man who can bring me Moby Dick!” He explains that he is desperately looking for crew that will help him locate his most mortal enemy, a giant white Behemoth – a creature that resembles a whale with a twisted horn on its forehead and rows of sharp teeth. If the Warriors wish to join this quest, they may do so. However, this quest is somewhat of an obsession for the Captain, and 1D6 must be rolled at the end of each month:
Once the Warriors reach the Settlement, each Warrior is given a cask of Captain Ahab's Whalebuster. There is 1D3 swigs of ale in each cask. (See the Sailor's Wares Location to see what the ale does). Also, if the Warriors had managed to capture Moby Dick, then Ahab, smiling brightly, offers the Warrior 1 shiny Gold piece. “Don't spend it all in one place now, you young scamp.” He proclaims before heading off into town. Hull Points: 4D6 37 CAPTAIN STRAKER This man is dressed in a beige coloured uniform and has blond short hair. He seems to be slightly mad, however, and is constantly checking the skies with a telescope looking for signs of what he calls “U-Foes”. Still, his ship is sound enough. Hull Points: 4D6 38 SAM THE FISHERMAN This ragged looking man is dressed in fishing gear and has a shoddy looking fishing rod over his shoulder. He says he intends to go sailing, and the Warriors may join him if they wish. At the end of each Month, roll 1D6. On a roll of 4 to 6, the fisherman gives each Warrior a fish that can be used as a provision in the normal way. Hull Points: 5 39 ADMIRAL FOWLEY Admiral Fowley was once a respected member of the Emperor of Altdorf's navigational staff until he was accused of murdering a Noble's daughter in cold blood. He escaped execution and fled Altdorf to its neighbouring city, Middenheim, where he hoped to find evidence to prove his innocence. To earn money, he spends time ferrying adventurers to and from the Old World and wherever the passengers want to go. For a price of 1D6 x 50 Gold per Warrior, Fowley will take the Warriors to their destination. Whenever the Warriors have to engage in a Ship To Ship Battle, roll 1D6 before doing anything else. If the result is a 1, the authorities of Altdorf have caught up with Admiral Fowley and are determined to bring him to justice. The enemy ship has 13 Hull Points and 6 Attack Points. If the Warriors win, they may carry on as normal. If the Warrior's ship is destroyed, the Warriors are rescued from the ocean and held prisoner. The ship sails back to the Old World , where all the Warriors are fined 1D6 + 2 x 1000 Gold for harbouring a criminal and then set free. If one of the Warriors cannot pay this amount, he is sentenced to hang along side Admiral Fowley. His adventuring days are over. Items of treasure can be sold to cover the cost if needed. Hull Points: 5D6 40 CAPTAIN GRUNBAR The Captain of this strange looking contraption is a gruff and angry Dwarf called Grunbar. For the small price of 1D6 x 100 Gold, Grunbar will take the Warriors to their destination. The ship he has is often called a Nautilus. It is a submarine that can go beneath the ocean waves for short periods of time. To represent this, each time the Warriors encounter an Ocean Event that they don't like, roll 1D6. If the dice roll is a 6, the Nautilus was actually under water at the time and the event can be ignored. In addition, because of the thick heavy plating of the ship, every time Hull Points are lost, roll 1D6. On a roll of 4 to 6, the thick iron plating protected the ship and it did not lose any Hull Points. Hull Points: 2D6 41 ADMIRAL WETHERBY Admiral Wetherby is one of the Emperor's finest sea faring officers ever to have lived. The Warriors are lucky indeed to find him heading in their direction. His current ship is called “Seraphim”. The cost for such a service is going to set the Warriors back 1D6 x 50 Gold each. Hull Points: 8D6 42 KULDUC - NORSE CHIEFTAIN Kulduc is a mighty and feared Norse Barbarian who has travelled to these hotter climes in hope of learning new and different fighting styles. He is captain of his powerful but sleek Norse Kingship, “Olafson Doombringer”. The crew is made up of battle ready Norse Warriors, all eager to lend a hand to any battles fought. During Ship to Ship Battles, for the first turn only (to represent their battle yearning) any damage caused by the Norse Kingship is doubled. Hull Points: 5D6 43 THE WIZARD SALIM KASA Salim Kasa is a black skinned, turban wearing magician Captain from Araby. He has come here to trade and to learn more about the ways of Empire and Bretonnian magic users in the hope that he can better understand the ways of sorcery in these foreign kingdoms. If one of the Warriors is a spell caster of some sort (not including the Vampire or Elf Ranger) then the Warriors are allowed passage aboard his Arabian War Galley. And such a fine example of craftsmanship the Warriors have never before seen. Each month at sea, after rolling for any Events, any magic using Warriors can roll 1D6. On a roll of 5 or 6, Kasa has talked to the Warrior and their nightly chats have been most informative. The Warrior may gain 1D3 points of Power for himself and may gain 1 point of Power for his staff if he has one. Hull Points: 2D6 44 NO CAPTAIN Trying his hardest to locate a Captain before night fall, the Warrior searches every inch of the harbour. However, it seems there are no Captains to be found this day. 45 TRAVELLING CIRCUS The Warrior notices that the circus must be in town. A group of three enormous Bretonnian Galleons panted in bright red, yellows and blues sits moored at the jetty. The Warriors arrive just in time to see the last of the clowns board the ship and the last big top folded and placed in the hold. It appears the circus is about to leave. The Warriors decide to try and get passage. Roll 1D6. On a roll of 4 to 6, the Captain of one of the Galleons decides to be kind and let the Warriors join the crew. To decide which Galleon to ride in, roll for Hull Points and Attack Points 3 times and pick which ship they wish to ride in. On a roll of 1 to 3, there is no room on board a circus ship for a band of bloodthirsty adventurers. The Warriors find no captain today. Hull Points: 3D6 46 CAPTAIN CALEDOR The mighty power of the Elven fleet is not often seen moored at a human settlement, but here one is, however. A majestic and powerful Elven Dragonship gently rocks backwards and forwards in the ocean waves. The Captain of the ship, Caledor, offers the Warriors a ride to their destination for nothing more than their company and friendship. It appears this young Elven Admiral is rather naive about the world and has set about trying to learn more about his humanoid cousins. Hull Points: 6D6 47 CAPTAIN POGWASH This rotund fellow wears bright blue and white striped pantaloons and a white frilly tunic. His rosy red cheeks and white gleaming smile greet the Warriors are they approach. Hull Points: 3D6 48 SUKHMET ANUBIS-SAR Sukhmet is a very powerful Nehekharan Prophet. He has sailed from the Lands of the Dead to recruit warriors for a holy war against Settra, Supreme Mummy Lord and Ruler of the most powerful provinces in Nehekhara. Unfortunately, from the sounds of screaming and cries of pain, it doesn't seem as if Sukhmet is giving his new recruits much of a choice. The Warriors gasp to see legions of Undead swarm from the deck of the ship and engage the local militia in battle. The Warriors, forgetting their search for a Captain, leap to the aid of the militia. Fight a battle with 1D3+1 rolls on the Catacombs of Terror Monster Table (but ignore any references to Luthor and Van-Damneg the Liche Lord), using an Objective Room as the harbour scene. To help the Warriors, there will also be 3D6 guardsmen with the following statistics. Any Monsters killed by these men do not earn the Warriors any gold. They move in order of Initiative as normal. Divide the monsters evenly using the One on One rule between all the guardsmen and the Warriors.
Guardsman Armed with Spears (Attack in Ranks) Once all the Undead are destroyed, the Warriors, panting heavily from the recent battle, turn to face the owner of the ship and its Undead crew. Sukhmet, apparently unaffected by the slaughter of his troops, begins to mutter some arcane syllables from his lips. Suddenly, there is an almighty howl of rage and power. The Warriors, stunned for a few moments, manage to regain their composure as the form of a mighty ogre with only one eye appears before them. Some hellish creature formed from the magic of the Prophet, no doubt. The creature is, in fact, called an Orgut . A native to Nehekhara, it enjoys torturing its victims before he finally kills them. The stats for the Orgut are in the Nehekhara bestiary. Fight a battle with the mighty creature. However, because this Orgut works for Sukhmet, it does not torture the Warriors at all. Whenever a Warrior is reduced to 0 Wounds, he is not tortured as normal, but is magically teleported aboard the Prophet's ship, to await his fate. If the Warriors manage to kill the Orgut, any Warriors on board the ship can be rescued without too much trouble from the Prophet. If two Warriors are knocked to 0 Wounds while fighting the Orgut, the other Warriors are soon overcome by the mighty creature and from spells directed at them by Sukhmet. The Warriors, it would seem, are on their way to Nehekhara… A few weeks into the journey, there are storms of overwhelming strength. The ship is blown off course, and instead of heading to Nehekhara, the ship is sailing directly towards the same destination that the Warriors were originally headed for at the beginning of their search for a captain. Cursing, Sukhmet realises that he is going to have to pull in at the nearest Settlement and get provisions for all his human crew and the prisoners (the Warriors) While on the ship, the Warriors do not need to roll on the Ocean Events table, as using his powerful magic, Sukhmet manages to crush any enemies in his way. Instead, roll 1D6 on the following table each month.
Once the end of the journey is completed, each Warrior rolls 1D6. On a roll of 2 to 6, the Warrior manages to break from his bonds before Sukhmet or the Orgut can stop them. They flee into the crowds and to safety. However, on a roll of 1, the Warrior has been caught fleeing by the Orgut. The Orgut enjoys many long hours of enjoyable torture of the Warrior, who must lose 1D6 Permanent Wounds before once again escaping into the crowd. This time, the Orgut does not catch him. Hull Points: not needed 49 SKIPPER The Warrior has the bad luck to find that the only one willing to sail to their destination is an amateur sailor, nicknamed “Skipper” by his friends. This portly man has a sailing cap and a hearty laugh, but unfortunately not much knowledge of sailing. Roll a D6 before the last month of travel, to see the aftermath of a huge storm that the Skipper sails blindly into. If anything but a 1 is rolled, the Warriors find that after the terrible storm, they seem to have found their destination by sheer blind luck, although the ship has seen better days. On a roll of 1, the Warriors awaken, stranded, on a desert island with nothing but a tree and some sand. To leave the island, the Warriors must cut down the sole tree and brave the last month on the ocean. The party rolls on the Warrior Overboard Table 3 times and picks the highest value. Skipper, however, has gone down with his ship. Hull Points: 3D6 50 DWARF PROSPECTOR The Warriors are offered passage aboard a Dwarven Ironclad that looks as if it has seen better days. After stepping aboard the gangplank, the Warriors look up to see a bloated dwarf of impressive physique staring at them from the helm of the bridge. His eyes widen in sudden recognition. “Wait a minute, I know who you are, by Grugni!!! You are the ones who keep nicking all my portcullis keys. Do you know how hard it is for me to make these things?!?! I don't think so! I'm sick of you adventuring types grabbing my keys and running off without even so much as a ‘ta' or ‘thanks muchly'. I grow tired of it. Right, I've come to a decision. If you want passage aboard my ship, you've got to give me back all my portcullis keys you have in your possession.” If the Warriors wish, they may offer up all their portcullis keys to pay for this journey. If they don't want to or don't have any, they cannot get passage aboard the ship. Hull Points: 2D6 51 FLEET COMMANDER TAO SIN The Captain of this oriental war ship is seeking skilled warriors and sailors to help him cross the oceans. On his last journey, Norscan Pirates ambushed Tao Sin as he crossed the Sea of Claws . They had heard that the Nippon Captain had on his ship thousands of gold bars that he was taking to Estalia to trade with the ruler. This time, not taking any chances, as well as taking a fine crew, Tao wants to hire powerful bodyguards. The Warriors can accept the task if they wish. Tao gives each Warrior 1D6 x 100 Gold as part of his payment. He will give the rest of the payment (another D6 x 100) once they reach their destination. Because his mighty war ship contains a vast quantity of gold bars, the journey may be very hazardous. No doubt pirates have learned of the mighty haul Tao carries on his ship. At the end of every month, roll 1D6 on the following table to see if pirates track Tao down.
In addition, if ever the Warriors wish, they can sneak down into the ship's hold and try and steal some treasure themselves. They may attempt this once a month. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior:
Each gold bar can be sold at the nearest Settlement for 1D6 x 50 Gold each. Once the journey is completed, each Warrior may take another D6 x 100 Gold for their final payment. Hull Points: 6D6 52 ROBERTI DIALANIO Roberti is the henchman of the current ‘Pirate Prince' from the small Pirate principality known as Sartosa. His master has sent him out into the world to try and locate suitable slaves for the gem mines on Sartosa. The man is dark skinned and boasts a thick red beard. He is cruel in nature and his violence is without remorse. Roll 1D6 for the party as a whole. On a roll of 1, Roberti decides the Warriors are perfect slaves for manual labour. The Warriors, after a fearsome battle, are soon overcome. If the Warriors are not made into slaves, Roberti is only too happy to allow them passage on his ship for a small price of 1D3 Treasure Cards each, chosen randomly as Roberti rummages through the Warrior's possessions. They awaken in the slave pens on Roberti's ship, beaten and swollen. After a few hours, Roberti comes down into the hold to explain the situation to the Warriors. Apparently, they have free reign on his ship, as there is no hope of escape at all. However, each Warrior must roll 1D6 on the following table at the end of each month to see if anything else happens:
Note that if any of the Warriors is reduced to 0 Wounds while a slave, their bodies are tossed over board and they cannot be healed. Hull Points: 4D6 Attack Points: 1D6 Duration: 1D6+3 months 53 THE DRUNKARD The Warrior is convinced that the drunkard standing before him is a suitable captain for the group's travels. For a fee of 50 Gold (enough to buy his next meal), the drunkard sneaks the Warriors onto an outgoing ship. However, this ship could be going anywhere! Roll 1D6 to determine where the vessel is sailing after it has left the harbour (roll again if the result is the same as the Warriors point of departure):
Now roll again on the Captain's Table to see which ship the Warrior's actually snuck onto. Since they have stowed away, they will not be able to utilise any special rules the Captain has unless it does not relate directly to them. Hull Points: Special 54 WAR CAPTAIN DRAGGOTH Draggoth is captain of a large and imposing black painted Galleon called “Fellhammer” The Captain is a servant of Chaos who has decided to break free form service to the Chaos God Khorne and embark on his own Path of Chaos. If the Warriors journey with Draggoth, they will unboundedly feel the raw forces of Chaos surrounding the ship. Each Warrior must roll once on the Chaos Warrior Attribute Chart to see what happens to them. This attribute is lost at the end of the next adventure. Hull Points: 5D6 55 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior finds no suitable captain today. 56 LUCREZZIA BELLADONNA The most beautiful woman in all of Tilea, and some say the Old World is Lucrezzia Belladonna. She is also the most dangerous to know, as she is a powerful sorceress and arch poisoner. The Warriors are offered passage aboard her Tilean ship for the price of 1D6 x 100 Gold. Apparently, Lucrezzia is on a mission to Lustria in order to find a rare and powerful poison mushroom that only grows in the humid regions of the Lizardmen. If the Warriors wish, they may journey with the beautiful seductress, but only if they wish to go to Lustria. Because of her dangerous and often cunning nature, the Lady is not one the Warriors want to make an enemy of, considering most of her enemies end up poisoned. At the end of the journey, draw a Warrior counter. This Warrior must roll on the following table.
Hull Points: 5D6 57 SKY CAPTAIN The Warrior hears a low humming noise which increases in intensity. Suddenly an enormous metal object flies overhead with wide metal wings. “Sky Captain here, I'm on my way”, he yells down at the Warrior. In a few moments the metal object has turned upright and planted two metal feet into the harbour. Its wings fold down to the side and its then that the Warrior notices that the object looks like an enormous metal person. A man appears at the mouth of the metal man and calls out to the Warrior that he needs a group of able bodied adventurers to test his new ‘Mechanical Monster'. The Imperial Engineers from the School of Engineers in Altdorf have created this marvel from vast amounts of molten metal and various cogs and gears. It is a marvel of modern technology. Because the Mechanical Monster is flying, the Warriors may ignore any events related to encounters on the ocean such as other ships, whirlpools etc. unless they specifically wish to encounter them. At the end of each month at sea roll 1D6 on the following table:
Hull Points: 4D6 58 CAPITAN RIVIERRA SALONÈ This fish merchant who calls himself a captain hails from Tilea, home of Marco Columbo, the famous explorer who led an expedition to the lands of Lustria many years ago. The Warriors may gain passage aboard the fat hairy chested man's extremely smelly ship if they so desire. At the end of every month, after events have been rolled for, the Warriors can each gain 1D3 fish that act as provisions. Salon e insists on feeding the Warriors with lots and lots of his high quality fish. Hull Points: 2D6 59 LORD ADMIRAL KRUEGER The Warriors have managed to book passage aboard Admiral Krueger's war galleon, the Empire's most famous warship: the “KLF II”. Krueger will hire the Warriors as mercenaries if they wish, paying 50 Gold to each Warrior for each Ocean Event successfully dealt with. (Only Ocean Events that something potentially bad could happen to the Warriors, but doesn't.) Hull Points: 4D6 60 CAPTAIN COOK Captain Cook is an eminent intergalactic explorer, or so he says. The Warrior listens to his tales of space travel (whatever that may be) and the many wonders of the universe. He tells the Warriors that they may journey with him and experience for themselves the splendour of space flight. If the Warriors accept his offer, it turns out that Captain Cook is just a loony, recently escaped from the local mental institution. His ‘space ship' is nothing more than a cardboard box with ‘space ship' written on the side in crayon. The Warriors indulge his fantasies for a short while, and thanking him for their trip to Mars, depart his cardboard box. They must now attempt to look for another captain. Attack Points: NA 61 DURGAN FIREHAMMER Durgan Firehammer is on a quest given to him by his Great Great Uncle to discover the perfect brew. He is a Brewmaster from the Dwarven settlement of Karak-Rogun and has sailed to this port in his Ironclad. The Warriors can gain passage aboard his ship only if they each give Firehammer something that could be useful in his perfect brew hunting. A provision, a sea ration, a hard ration, a piece of fruit, anything that is edible can be given (including Snotling Slop Patties and the Minotaur's slabs of meat), For each item given, roll 1D6 on the following table:
After each Ocean Event has been handled, roll 2D6 for each Warrior on the following table, as they join in the drunken revelry that the Brewmaster insists on having every night:
Once the journey is at an end, each Warrior rolls 1D6. On a roll of 1 to 3, the constant drinking each and every night has given the Warrior a really, really big hangover. The Warrior can do nothing but sleep in bed moaning for 2D6 days. He does not have to make rolls on the Settlement Event table, but he must still pay living expenses. Hull Points: 5D6 62 AMOS, THE SALTY SEA DOG This bear of a man has a huge flowing mane of white hair down to his waist, and the biggest moustache and beard the Warrior has ever seen. For a small price of 1D6 x 500 Gold (divided up as seen fit amongst the Warriors) he will take the Warriors to their destination. Amos is a really good navigator, and any events that add months to the journey time can have the result subtracted instead of added. Hull Points: 4D6 63 BLACKBEARD Blackbeard swears he knows the location of a secret passage, which will allow the Warriors to get to their destination in a fraction of the time. Roll 1D6. On a roll of 1 to 3, Blackbeard has been addled by too many Whalebusters and there is no sign of the secret passage. The journey takes 3D6 months. On a 4 to 6, the short cut is as good as Blackbeard said and the journey only takes 1D6 months. No Shortcut Hull Points: 4D6 Shortcut Hull Points: 4D6 64 CAPTAIN SLACK-BLADDER This man is indeed not a captain, as he likes to proclaim, but a fish merchant from the far off land of Estalia . However, he is a very smooth talker, and spends a lot of time trying to convince the Warriors to join his crew and sail with him. Each Warrior rolls 1D6 and adds Willpower. If the result is less than 7, the Warrior has been fooled by his smooth talking and must journey with the merchant. If the result is 7 or higher, the Warrior is not fooled and can make up his own mind if he wants to go or not. Hull Points: 1D3 + 1
65 BLOG-DE-BLOG Blog-de-Blog is the famous Norse Captain, but for some reason, he has decided to try a trip to the Warrior's destination instead for a change. Branching out, Blog calls it. The fee for a trip in his powerful black War Galleon is 1D6 x 100 Gold per Warrior, or a bottle of Norse Grog each. If the Warriors have travelled with Blog to Norsca before, he will drop the fee, for old times sake. He will only do this once, however. Any future trips with Blog must be paid for as usual. Hull Points: 5D6 66 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior finds no captain willing to sail this night. They must all be at the Waterfront Tavern drinking their sorrows away. 67 ADMIRAL SATHAMAN The Admiral is a well rounded fellow with big red lips and a boisterous laugh. He offers to take the Warriors to their destination for nothing more than a hearty handshake. However, if a Warrior has something that prevents him from getting into Settlements (such as a Chaos Warrior with asteric attributes) then they must make any necessary rolls as if they were entering a settlement. The Admiral does not like being deceived or anything that smells remotely fishy. If any of the Warriors fail any of these rolls, then the entire party is shooed away. Hull Points: 4D6 68 BRADFORD VON CARSTEIN The Warrior gasps to see a mighty black War Galleon docked at the harbour. It is pitch black, but shines with an inner power. A pale white man, who calls himself Bradford von Carstein, offers to take the Warriors to their destination for free. If the Warriors accept, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1 to 3, it appears the Warriors have booked passage aboard a Vampire's ship. On a roll of 4 to 6, Bradford is simply a quiet, solitary man and leaves the Warriors to do what they wish. If Bradford is a Vampire, roll 1D6 at the end of every month, after the event has been resolved:
Hull Points: 5D6 69 BOG-OFF THE SNOTLING The Warrior sees a cute little green Snotling desperately trying to throw a rope over the side of the harbour to secure his ship at the port. He is so cute; the Warrior doesn't hesitate to give him a hand. The Warrior manages to grab the rope and tie it securely to the jetty post. Thanking the Warrior, the Snotling begins to jump up and down in relief. Smiling at the scene, the Warrior notices that the Snotling has made a little paper pirate hat and put it on his head. Awww, so cute! His ship is a tiny dinghy that looks like it will fall apart at any second. If the Warriors wish, they may travel with this little fellow. If they do this, they may each gain 1 point of non-permanent Luck, which can be used in the usual way. Hull Points: 1 70 SEA MASTER LEFROC This thin man claims he used to be an Imperial Noble before joining the marine corp. at Altdorf and becoming a captain. If there is any event which involves the Warriors having to fight a battle, then from out of nowhere, with a cry of “Ah, HA!”, Lefroc will leap into the fray and assist the Warrior or Warriors. He has the following statistics.
Lefroc Dodge 6+; Parry 5+; Magic Item*; Imperial Noble Attack Imperial Noble AttackAs long as Lefroc keeps hitting his enemy, he will gain another attack that turn. Lefroc has 2 attacks, meaning he can miss once and still make another continuous attack this round. Any monsters killed by Lefroc do not give the Warriors any gold. Lefroc is armed with a sword and is controlled by a random Warrior each time there is a battle. He is placed next to the Warrior that is controlling him when the battle begins. *The magic item Lefroc has is always the same item, no matter how many times he shows up on the journey. Monsters will only target Lefroc if they cannot reach another Warrior this turn. If the Sea Master dies, add 2D6 months to the journey. Only he, apparently, knew where the ship was headed, and without him, everyone seems totally lost. Hull Points: 4D6 71 STRIKE COMMANDER KHROM The Warrior is walking down the harbour when he sees a strange sight of ten dwarves wearing goggles and a strange leather hat on their head. Each one appears to be the captain of a Dwarven Gyrocopter, and they appear to be offering their services to transport people across the ocean waves. One of the captains, a Strogam Khrom, approaches the Warrior and says he can take one passenger per gyrocopter launched. If the Warriors wish to accept, they must each pay with 1 Treasure Card or 2D6 x 100 Gold. If there are more than ten Warriors in the party, there are not enough gyrocopters for them all. Upon paying, each Warrior is given a strange set of goggles and a leather hat, and strapped into the back of a gyrocopter. Note that even if there are not enough Warriors to fill up all the gyrocopters, all ten of the vehicles will still fly. Because the gyrocopters are so fast, there will be no need to make rolls on the Ocean Events table. However, 2D6 rolls of 2D6 must be made on the following table to see if anything befalls the squadron:
Once all rolls on the table have been completed, the Warriors have arrived at their destination. If ever one of the gyrocopters is destroyed and there are only a number of gyrocopters left that are equal or less than the number of Warriors, draw a Warrior counter to see which gyrocopter is destroyed. That Warrior must then make a roll on the Warrior Overboard table. As long as there are enough gyrocopters to be destroyed without having to destroy one of the Warriors, they are quite safe. 72 OLD FRIEND The Warrior gasps in surprise to see a very old friend of his from before his adventuring days standing next to a powerful ship. After many hours at the Waterfront Tavern, catching up on old times, the man says he will take the Warriors to their destination for a small price of 10 Gold each. The Warrior whose friend it is does not have to pay this fare. Hull Points: 4D6 73 BARNACLE BILL Captain Bill has sailed to this harbour to promote a new chain of seafood eateries that are opening up in the Old World and beyond. The Warriors are offered a sample of his fine food. Each Warrior may take 1D3 provisions. Barnacle Bill will take the Warriors to their destination for a small price of 1D6 x 5 Gold each. However, as a bonus, each month at sea, each Warrior can gain 1D3 provisions, as Barnacle Bill is only too happy to give out free samples of his delicacies. Hull Points: 3D6 74 HOVERCRAFT The Warriors are invited aboard a wondrous magical craft which has the power to travel over land and on water, thus making the journey time very short indeed. However, the Captain of this magical vessel will accept no less than 500 Gold from each Warrior as a boarding fee. Hull Points: 3 75 CAPTAIN HALLORAN Captain Halloran is a fine man indeed. Well kept and obviously a wealthy Empire Noble of some sort. His ship, “the KLF IV” is ready to leave whenever the Warriors wish. They may choose what day they wish to leave on, and do not have to roll as normal. Hull Points: 4D6 76 THE COLONEL While walking along the docks, the Warrior is accosted by a white-haired, bearded old man in a white suit, twirling a cane. In a strange accent, he tells of his trading ship which is about to sail, with a full load of spices and herbs. He is very enthusiastic, and repeatedly informs them “Nobody does shippin' like the Colonel, that's me!” He offers the Warriors employment on his vessel because of a current shortage of young trainee deckhands. If the Warriors agree, they are each paid 1 Gold per month of travel for their hard labour aboard the Colonel's ship. Hull Points: 2D6 77 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior is lucky enough to find a very well known captain standing by the docks, ready to set sail. The Warrior heads over to the man, when suddenly the biggest sea gull the Warrior has ever seen grabs hold of the mans hair and begins to pull him up into the air by his top knot. The man soon disappears over the horizon screaming obscenities. Sigh, oh well. 78 DEPUTY FROBISHER The Warrior sees a steamboat pull into port. Unlike Dwarven Ironclads, this boat seems to be of Empire design, painted dark brown and white. A man introduces himself as Deputy Frobisher, second in command to Sheriff McLean of a small settlement situated in the centre of the Empire called Sanctuary. Apparently, the town has been under attack from Orc hoards and is looking to relocate to another area where iron can be easily mined, since Sanctuary is a place where gun fighters and bounty hunters make a living. The Deputy has set sail in the hope of finding such a land, and when he encounters the Warriors, he asks them if they can journey with him in the hope of finding such a place. If the Warriors agree, then they can choose their destination as normal. However, they can also choose the number of months it takes to get to their destination, as they have been given control of plotting out a suitable route, and on the way the Deputy wants to check out small islands and the like for suitable signs of iron mines. For each month travelled, each Warrior receives a payment of 1D3 x 50 Gold. The journey length must be decided before any dice are rolled, and cannot be changed half way through. Hull Points: 5D6 79 THE OCEAN MASTER A crazed and ragged man leaps up to the Warrior and claims that he is the ruler of the Ocean. The Warrior pushes him aside in annoyance, but the little man insists. Sighing, the Warrior eventually decides to check it out. The man's ship is very ragged indeed, and does not appear to be the vessel of a Lord of the Ocean. However, if the Warriors wish to go anyway, they can do so. Roll 1D6 once the Warriors have boarded the ship. On a roll of 1 to 5, the ship is exactly what it looks like; A shoddy, hole ridden craft. On a roll of 6, the ship is actually a magically disguised ocean going submarine, and the Captain is indeed the Lord of the Oceans, underneath Triton himself, naturally. His name is Orin, and he says he has been disguising himself as a beggar in the hopes that someone with lots of courage would join him on his cruise. The Warriors are such people. In exchange for their display of courage on boarding the rickety ship, the Warriors each gain a Treasure Card and 1D6 x 200 Gold. The journey only takes a few days to reach the Warrior's destination, so no rolls on the Ocean Events table are necessary. Hull Points: 3 80 CAP'N BOB Bob wears a patch over one eye, although the Warriors swear he keeps changing which eye. Unfortunately, Bob is such a bad navigator that the journey takes a very long time indeed. In addition, if the Warriors roll an Uneventful Month, then Bob will have landed the ship somewhere and the Warriors must fight a normal adventure before continuing on their way. Once the dungeon has been completed, travel 1D3 Weeks to reach Cap'n Bob's ship and to continue the journey. There's no such thing as an uneventful month with Cap'n Bob! Hull Points: 4D6 81 IMPERIAL NAVY PRESS GANG The Imperial Navy Press Gang has a few of its ships docked at the harbour. Each Warrior rolls 1D6. If the result is a 1, they have been Press Ganged into working on the ship. The other Warriors can then decide if they wish to join him, or meet him at their destination on a different ship. Warriors on the ship cannot leave for any reason due to events and cannot gain any Gold or Treasure (it is confiscated as soon as they locate any.). Once the Warriors on the ship have reached their destination, they are payed a measly sum of 5 Gold for their assistance. Warriors who do not accompany any of the press ganged Warriors on the journey must locate another Captain to join their friends. Hull Points: 4D6 82 THE ONE EYED MAN OF TILEA Legends are plentiful about the One Eyed Man of Tilea. Apparently his skill at the seas matches no other. Hesitant to believe such far fetched tales, the Warriors have long regarded such legends as old wives tales and dismissed them. But suddenly they are approached by a one eyed man offering to sail them to their destination. The Warriors instantly think that this must be the mysterious man of legend! If they set sail with him roll 1D6 after the 1 st month of travel. If a 1-3 is rolled it is quite clear that this man has no idea where he is sailing to. For the remainder of the journey, after the month's events have been encountered, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 they have been going around in circles – add +1 month to travel. If a 4-6 was rolled after the 1 st month then this one eyed man is indeed the One Eyed Man of Tilea - the Warriors have been extremely lucky to travel with him! After each month's events, roll 1D6. On a roll of 5-6 he has taken a short cut – subtract –1 month from travel. Hull Points: 4D6 83 SEA MASTER SHOCKEYE This old veteran of the ocean waves has long ago gone senile and insane. He has a craving for humanoid flesh. At the end of every Month, each Warrior rolls 1D6. On a roll of 1D6, the Warrior wakes in the middle of the night to find the mad Sea Master gnawing at his bodily parts. He suffers 1D3 unmodified Wounds before shooing the irritating old man away. Hull Points: 4D6 84 CAPTAIN DAVE The Captain of the ship “ Cal ” is a fine looking sort, all beard and moustache. While on the way to the ship, the Captain explains that during its construction, the builders accidentally enclosed a female siren in the walls of the ship, and being slightly amused at this, they left her there. She now can be heard singing snatches of tunes. The Warriors seem mildly concerned at this brutal treatment, but the siren doesn't seem to mind. She even puts on shows for the ship's crew and passengers when she is in a good mood. Hull Points: 5D6 85 KALZAGOTH LONGBEARD The Warrior overhears rumours in the local Waterfront Tavern about a strange boat in the harbour that travels underwater ! The Warrior heads down to investigate. He is in luck! The boat is just preparing to leave the harbour, but it needs <no. of Warriors> more crew members, the other crew having collapsed in a heap after a rowdy drinking session at the Waterfront Tavern. The Captain is a Dwarf by the name of Kalzagoth Longbeard, and he tells the Warrior that his strange vessel is called a Nautilus. The Warriors may travel with the Nautilus if they wish to. If any Sea Battles or events occur that involve situations on top of the water, the Warriors may ignore them if they wish. If they choose to do so, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the Nautilus comes to the surface inadvertently and the Warriors must encounter the event as normal. Hull Points: 3D6+2 86 CAPTAIN CARNAGE Captain Carnage delights in all death and destruction. He is constantly muttering to himself in many different voices and languages. The Warriors are hesitant to travel with him but his sailing vessel looks very sturdy. If the Warriors sail with him, then each time an event is encountered involving other people (eg. crew members, other travellers etc.) roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the captain kills the person and cackles with glee as he runs away madly. Ignore the rest of the event. Hull Points: 5D6 87 EX-WIFE The Warrior hears a shrill cry that brings terror to his very soul. His ex-wife has somehow managed to locate him, and for some reason wants to take him across the seas on a voyage. Luckily for him she is heading in the exact same direction. If the Warriors accompany the woman then at the beginning of each week before any events are rolled, roll 2D6. On any double then she has thrown her ex-husband overboard – that was her plan all along, to feed him to the sharks! He must immediately roll on the Warrior Overboard Table. The other Warriors can continue with the crazy woman if they wish or loyally jump in after their fellow Warrior in which case they too must roll on the Warrior Overboard Table. Hull Points: 2D6 88 CAPTAIN YELLOWBEARD A sinewy but strong looking man approaches the Warrior with a gold lust glint in his eye. He says he has a treasure map that will lead to glorious treasures beyond all imagining. The Warriors can journey with the strange Captain Yellowbeard if they want. Apparently, it was Yellowbeard's father who buried the treasure, and when he did, he was bleeding to death with numerous orc arrows sicking out of him. His health failing, Yellowbeard's dad quickly buried the treasure and wrote a map for his son stating where it was buried. Strangely enough, the map also includes a list of the wounded manoeuvres that the pirate captain made as he died and buried the treasure. At the end of the journey, roll 1D6 to see if Yellowbeard finds the treasure. On a roll of 1, he does not, on a roll of 2 to 6, Yellowbeard proceeds to a large expanse of sand and throws himself to the ground, muttering things like “Stagger, stagger roll. Roll, stagger, crouch, fall, stagger, stagger roll.” After a manic show of rolling and staggering, Yellowbeard produces a shovel and says, “This is where my father died and buried the treasure. His death throes were all recorded on the map. Each Warrior may take 1D6 x 50 gold and 1 Treasure Card. Hull Points: 4D6 88 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior runs and gets the rest of the Warriors, interrupting them from whatever they were doing. He has seen a captain at the docks and wanted the other Warriors to get their approval. However, when the other Warriors arrive, the captain is nowhere to be seen. 90 MONSTER A strange beast approaches the Warrior, and he recognises it as a <roll on Monster Table> (roll again if not humanoid). It says it has seen the way of righteousness and goodness and offers to ferry the Warriors to their destination in its sailing craft. If the Warriors accept this strange offer, roll 1D6 after they have boarded. On a roll of 1 then the ship was actually an enormous Chaos mutation cleverly disguised, which immediately swallows the Warriors whole. They are all dead! On any other number the Warriors encounter no problems and make it safely across the ocean. Hull Points: 2D6+2 91 MAN A thin, wiry looking man begins to perform a crazy dance in front of the Warrior. “I can take you to where you wish to go,” the insane man informs the Warrior. “Just get on top of me and we'll swim there! Wee heeeeeeeeeee.” This man seems quite loony, but it appears he really thinks he is some sort of a boat! If the Warriors accept his most gracious offer, they all sit on his back and head off! Roll 1D6 every month of the journey. On a 1, the man is so exhausted and drowns, leaving each Warrior to roll on the Warrior Overboard Table. Hull Points: 1 92 CAPTAIN TANCREDI Captain Tancredi is a high ranking officer in the Tilean army. He is here supervising a trade deal between the two nations. He offers the Warriors passage on his vessel for a cheap sum of 1D6 x 100 Gold. However, each day that the Warriors wait for the ship to be ready roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 Captain Tancredi has overloaded his ship with all sorts of merchandise and has no room for the Warriors. Unfortunately they hear this from a passer-by and by the time they get to the docks the Captain, and their Gold are long gone. Hull Points: 3D6 93 CAPTAIN JIM An honest captain making an honest living comes as a surprise to the Warriors who are used to encountering lies and treachery everywhere they go. The Captain agrees to take the Warriors to their destination – his only condition is that they help out with the chores around the ship, a simple task which the Warriors are happy to agree to. Hull Points: 2D6 94 CAPTAIN VAN STATTEN The Warrior meets up with Captain Van Statten, the renowned collector. Van Statten is famous throughout the world for his vast and unusual collection of weird and wonderful artefacts. He will give the Warriors passage on his exploration vessel in exchange for 1 magic treasure each (Treasure Card or something else the Warriors have encountered on their travels.) Apparently Van Statten has just become the proud owner of a strange metallic artefact that he has named ‘Metaltron.' It looks roughly like an oversized pepper shaker and emits a strange humming noise as if it's alive. Van Statten has chained it away in the hold, warning the Warriors that they are never to set foot there. Roll 1D6 for each month at sea. On a 1 or a 2 the Warriors' curiosity gets the better of them and one of them decides to venture down into the hold to see this strange metal object. Roll 1D6:
Hull Points: 3D6+3 95 CAPTAIN TRACTOR Captain Tractor has made it a point to provide quality entertainment for his crew members. The Warriors are impressed by the vast number of musical acts on their voyage. Roll 1D6 for every month at sea. On a roll of a 6 the Warriors feel so relaxed and carefree from the entertainment that they each regain 1D3 Wounds. Hull Points: 2D6+2 96 SIR GEOFFREY HATHAWAY Sir Geoffrey is a pompous old goat, constantly proclaiming how he is Lord of the Seas and how when he gets home to his 20 bedroom mansion occupying a third of a small island, he will whip all his slaves until they attend him to pluck his nose hairs. He tells the Warriors that they are extremely lucky that he asked them to accompany him on his journey and they should be grateful for a chance to serve his lordship. The journey takes longer than it would normally because Sir Geoffrey goes out of his way to stop at every harbour along the way to let people know that he is in the area. The Warriors are soon sick of this stuck up idiot and decide to teach him a lesson. After 5 months at sea roll 1D6 for every month thereafter:
Hull Points: 2D6+2 97 CAPTAIN ECCLES Captain Eccles looks to be about 150 years old. His pallid flesh hangs loosely on his bones and his teeth are all jagged and yellow. As he speaks, teeth and spittle fly out of his mouth. Apparently he has been a captain of the high seas for 80 years and asks the Warriors to help him out on one last quest before retiring. If the Warriors agree to do this in exchange for free passage to their destination roll 1D6 after setting sail to determine what the old Captain's last mission is:
Hull Points: 1D6+4 98 THE CONCRETE CAPTAIN The Concrete Captain got this nickname because many years ago an evil wizard turned him into stone. His family searched for many years to find a spell to return him to his human state, but with no luck. However, they finally found a magic scroll that animates lifeless objects. Now the Captain remains stone but at least he is able to lead a relatively normal life… At the end of each month at sea roll 1D6. If a 1 is rolled the Concrete Captain takes a wrong step and crashes through the deck of the ship into the ocean below, finally resting at the bottom of the seabed. Unfortunately the boat also sinks due to the large hole in it. The Warriors must roll on the Warrior Overboard Table from the Lost Kingdoms Ocean Events Table. Hull Points: 3D6 99 NO CAPTAIN The Warrior approaches a rough sea-faring bloke and is about to enquire as to whether or not he would be willing to transport 4 trustworthy and hardworking warriors across the ocean, when suddenly the man leaps into the air, screaming ‘Nooooooo! Not again!?! Will you stop pestering me?!” And with that outburst he runs to the end of the jetty, jumps off, and proceeds to swim out into the ocean until he disappears beyond the horizon. Very strange indeed… 100 SMUGGLING SHIP The Warrior happens across a large contingent of crates being pulled up onto a ship in the middle of the night. Investigating, he learns that the crates contain powerful magical and scientific equipment that has been banned for sale in most Old World cities and towns. The Warriors may each roll 1D6 to see if they are allowed passage on board the smuggling ship. If one of the Warriors has a small black Raven ring (ie, a Smugglers ring) then the Warriors do not need to roll and may gain passage automatically. On a roll of 5 or 6 by any Warrior indicates that the party is allowed passage on board the ship, which is bound for the same destination as the Warriors.
The Warriors search among the crates for objects that may be off use to them, and may buy items if they are in stock and they have enough gold to do so. Roll 2D6 for Stock numbers. Only one roll per Warrior per item is allowed on the journey.
Jerky StripsThese strips of toughened beef never go stale. When eaten, the Warrior gains 4 Wounds. Bugman's XXX+X Special BrewThis rare Dwarven brew supposedly does not exist. So pungent and alcoholic is this mixture that any cask drunk heals the Warrior up to Full Wounds. However, he becomes so drunk he must miss 1D3 turns as he recovers. Each cask over 3 purchased reduces the Warrior's movement by 1. They are, after all, rather large. Silver BulletsThese bullets cause an extra Damage Dice against Undead and Lycanthropic creatures. A Warrior who has no gunpowder and shot may still use these bullets. Holy BulletsThese bullets cause an extra Damage Dice against Undead, Chaos and Demonic creatures. Against Greater Demons, they cause an extra 3D6 instead of 1D6. A Warrior who has no gunpowder or shot may still use these bullets. Triple Spiked FlailThese weapons were considered too dangerous to be allowed to wield in the armies of the Empire and Bretonnia, but a few smaller provinces on the outskirts have managed to perfect the design. The flail does an extra D6 damage, but causes –1 to Hit. However, if the damage roll indicates at least two 1's, the Warrior has hit himself with the flail and takes double the damage he would have caused to the enemy. Luck OpalThese rare stones are found only in the desolate wastelands of the Blighted Isles north of Ulthuan, the Elven Kingdoms. Each Luck Opal gives the Warrior an extra point of Luck which can be used once per adventure in the normal way. The Luck point is lost if the Opal is lost. Sphere of AlchemyThe famous inventor Leonardo Da Miragliano was renowned for creating inventions of great promise that were often used upon the battlefield. This is one such invention. This bronze orb contains a form of explosive powder that will explode on contact with the enemy. Make a Ballistic Roll. If successful, the orb explodes, causing 2D6 unmodified Wounds to the target, and 1D6 unmodified Wounds to adjacent enemies. In addition, the effected enemies suffer the loss of 1D3 Attacks each. Prism of PowerThis scientific invention was designed and created by Leonardo Da Miragliano, a famous Tilean Inventor. This glass prism has the ability to refract light away from the battlefield, thus preventing the energies of magic from being harnessed. In effect, this prism is invoked once per adventure at the start of the Monster's Phase. No enemy spell casters may cast any spell or use any magic item for this turn only. However, magic weapons and armour still take effect. Meteoric CompassThis magical compass is made of solid silver from ancient Dwarven mining complexes. The magic it contains allows the Warriors to half the distance of their next Ocean journey, or the remainder of this voyage. Once used, the magic cannot be reinvoked. Potion of PavonaThe most beautiful woman in the Old World , Lucrezzia Belladonna, makes this magical concoction. It allows the Warrior to add +1 to his Toughness, Initiative, Strength or Willpower (Warrior's choice). The Warrior, after drinking it, rolls 1D6. On a roll of anything but a 1, the effect is permanent. On a roll of 1, the potion lasts for 1D6 adventures only. Lustrian WineThere are enough doses in the gourd for 1D6 drinks. Each drink will allow the Warrior to speak and understand any of the Lizardman Languages for the duration of one event. After the event is completed, the effects wear off. TelescopeThis item allows all wilderness and ocean journeys that are to last equal to or more than 9 weeks to be reduced by 1 week. The telescope is permanent. Treasure MapThe Warrior may use this map to gain an extra Objective Room Treasure Card for himself in an Objective Room. Use once, and then discard. Fool's GoldThe Thieves Guild of Ranald in Altdorf has mastered the art of money copying. Whenever a Warrior is required to lose some Gold (via an event, not a purchase; shop keepers are too aware of fake coinage to be fooled) the Warrior can lose his bag of Fool's Gold instead. Trance AmuletThe Trance Amulet acts the same way as a Trance Stone, except that it gives the user 1D3 Wounds per turn that the Warrior does nothing. A Trance Stone and Trance Amulet cannot be used at the same time. Arab SpicesThe Warrior can use the Arab Spices to trade for goods instead of paying in gold. Roll 1D6 for every 100 Gold that the item he wishes to buy costs. If any of the dice comes up as a 1, the item cannot be traded this time. The Warrior can still pay gold for the item if he wishes. For example, if the Warrior wanted to buy a Trance Stone (300 Gold) he would roll 3D6. If any came up as a 1, he could not trade the Arab Spices this time. If he wanted to trade the Arab Spices for a suit of plate armour (7000 gold), he would roll 70 dice and hope for no 1's at all. Round off to the nearest 100 when needed. Items for 49 gold or less can automatically be traded with the Spices. Cloves of Cathayan GarlicEach clove of garlic, when eaten, will cause all Vampires and Vampiric creatures (bats, etc) –1 on their to Hit Rolls for 1D6 turns when they are adjacent to the Warrior. In addition, each clove will heal the Warrior 1 Wound. Hull Points: 4D6
