Big Trouble in Little Azyrheim part 1
I ran a Hinterlands event a few weekends ago (the same weekend the new Skirmish rules dropped, funny enough). I used three of the Hinterlands battleplans for it, The Lost Artefact, Assassinate, and Breakthrough. To tie it all together, I made up a story set in our local campaign setting (the Vale of Efengie) in which the players were trying to find and deliver a Letter of Marque that would grant one lucky general a seat on the Reaper King's council. Normally I bake all of the events I run together into campaign books, but I thought that this story-line would make a fun Skirmish campaign. So I've expanded it into a five battleplan campaign that I will be posting over the next week or two.
Here's the first fluff page explaining the basic premise. Call it exposition if you like.
In the first battleplan, two warbands arrive at the scene of Overlord Grimni's murder to investigate. I was inspired a little bit by the beginning of the Watchmen, when Rorschach is investigating the Comedian's murder. I think Grimni and whoever killed him probably had a pretty severe rumble in the wee hours of the night, and whodunnit is still a mystery (we may never know, but I assume it was a Dark Elf), but the carrion are already descending because they know that if they want his council seat, they're going to have to act fast.
This is going to be a five battleplan campaign, and I plan on posting the other battleplans over the next couple weeks, and hopefully by the time I'm done posting them piecemeal, I'll have the full campaign book finished!
