Battle for round 4, table 9

The ritual was a partial success and power flows through the fighters who took part. However, the cost was high, warbands are trapped in these lands and soon realise that they are under a powerful curse.

Only a tribute of more death will allow their warband to leave this dreadful place.

Set up one objective in the centre of the battlefield.

Primary

At the end of each turn players score:

1 victory point for each enemy fighter taken down with a starting wounds characteristic of 1-9
2 victory points for each enemy fighter taken down with a starting wounds characteristic of 10-19
3 victory points for each enemy fighter taken down with a starting wounds characteristic of 20-34
5 victory points for each enemy fighter taken down with a starting wounds characteristic of 35+
1 victory point if their opponent’s leader was taken down
2 points if they control an objective.
2 point for each treasure they control (see secondary)
Secondary

Players each nominate 1 fighter to be the ‘keeper of the bones’. This fighter is carrying treasure and can do so even if normally unable to.

They cannot willingly drop the treasure for any reason and will only drop the treasure if they are taken down.

Twist:
The Blessings of Death:
At the start of the battle each player multiplies their bone tally by 10.They may then spend the value of their bone tally to purchase divine blessings for their warband (see next page).

A fighter can only have one blessing and any unused bone tally points are discarded before the battle begins.

Victory Condition

The battle ends after 4 rounds. The player with the most victory points wins the battle. Any other result is a draw.
