But the lead Witch-Hunter, the one with red hair, sighs and shakes his head. You suddenly see that they are just as exhausted as their men, only they are more used to it, and know how to hide it better.
“No. You may speak. They may as well hear it.”
The man pauses a moment, then resumes.
“They say Bechafen is in flames, though we did not see it for ourselves. They say… they say a cult has seized it, and proclaimed the End Times are nigh. The comets are a sign, people say. There are rumours the greenskins are marching from the World’s Edge Mountains across the Veldt. Not just disorganised tribes, but a full Waaagh. Word has been sent to Altdorf, but… the roads are not safe. The roads are not safe…”
His face is pale as he finishes, his eyes staring wildly at everyone around him. You have seen that look before, in the eyes of Guardsmen who have endured too much over too short a time. The Witch-Hunter, Reinhard, jerks his head towards the town, and their escort rides in slowly. You, Gnorri, and Johann follow behind, Johann soon running off to fetch that map he promised you. Gnorri looks up at the Witch-Hunters.
“What are your plans, sirs?”
Siegfried shakes his head. “We must verify these rumours of orks, once we are rested. And once that is done, we must send word to Altdorf, or discover what has happened to Bechafen. But the beastmen are prowling the roads in large numbers, and I fear the going will be dangerous. The town must be fortified at any rate, for there are things afoot in the world that will threaten all of us.”
He is silent, and soon comes upon a tavern and goes inside with his companion. You are outside with Gnorri, who is worrying about the journey to Karak Kadrin when Johann returns, bearing a slip of paper.
“Sir Gurnemanz! Here it is. Hutzheim is marked in red, and I have tried to mark where debris may have fallen with purple crosses. I am sure there are more sites throughout the empire, but these are the closest.”
You take the paper from him, and examine it. It is a map of the region. This will help you decide what to do in the coming days.
What shall you do?
>Stay with the town to help fortify it. You are stronger than any of them, and with your help it can be made to withstand even an army.
>Investigate these rumours of a Waaagh yourself. You are faster, and deadlier than anything this Empire can send out anyhow.
>You must secure the debris Johann has marked out first. They could contain valuable tech, and you can’t let it fall into the hands of orks, or other things on the prowl.
>Write in.
