Ankh-Mordheim Town Cryer issue 8


HEROIC BOOK THE FLAGELLANT SLAYS THE THING! STREETS ARE SAFER THANKS TO VALON'S VENDETTA!
The 'Thing' that has terrorized Ankh-Mordheim for the past month has finally been slain! The valiant Witch Hunters of Valon's Vendetta bravely sought out the beast this past week and tracked its whereabouts down to a location near Rimward Gate. There they encountered the dastardly Kislevites of Gleb's Graspers who had been struggling to battle against the 'Thing'. With a mighty stride towards the inhuman beast, Book the Flagellant swatted the pesky Kislevites out of the way and felled the beast with a mighty blow from his flail. Gurgling its death knell, the 'Thing' shot a temporary look of fear before vanishing to the otherworldly realm from whence it came.

'The Thing In The Woods' is now dead and so will no longer be used in all scenarios. Should players wish to play the special scenario the rules are included within, they may do so. Naturally the 'Thing' could re-materialize but for now its reign of terror is at an end. 

VALON'S VENDETTA CLAIM THE ISLE OF GODS!
The honourable Witch Hunter Valon and his mighty warband of elite warriors have cleansed the scourge from the Isle of Gods and taken possession of it as their own. This includes The Dsyk, The Opera House and Psuedopolis Yard where the printing offices for this very fine publication is situated.
Dan's warband has claimed the Isle of Gods territories. Note that someone can still claim all of the territories from him by possessing the relevant bridges...

OPPOSITION GROUPS PROTEST AGAINST DURIN THE DWARF
As reported earlier in our last issue Durin the dwarf, leader of Durin's Mob, won the Gladitorial Pit Fight to claim the contract to the Patrician's Palace and with it, the powers contained within. But since then several groups have begun to protest outside the Palace and cast forth aspersions as to who they think would be a more suitable Patrician. Rumours persist that Stikkum Gud, the leader of Skaven warband Haarchit's Harriers, is plotting to overthrow the would-be governer of Ankh-Mordheim. Meanwhile Gleb of Gleb's Graspers is looking set to be out of the running as his warband currently has no connection outside of the city. The outside shot, and potentially the best candidate for our long-term survival in Ankh-Mordheim is Valon, the Witch Hunter leader of Valon's Vendetta. With his incredible intelligence, supreme sword-arm and brilliant ballistics, he would be the natural choice to keep our streets safe once and for all.
For this week coming (week 8 of 9), ALL games fought in the campaign will feature 'The Thing In The Woods'. As soon as the Thing is slain, it will immediately disappear from all games currently in progress and the warband that laid the killing blow will be rewarded with all three Isle of The Gods locations!
