Welcome back, brave traveller, to Call of the Everchosen. This latest journey to discover new ways to play Warcry takes you into the accursed darkness of Shyish for a multiplayer campaign. Here to tell you more is the warden of Warcry rules, Sam Pearson.
Sam: In last month’s instalment of Call of the Everchosen, we detailed a campaign for two players set in the shadowy streets of Anvilgard in the last weeks before its fall. This month, you’re getting another urban campaign, this time in a very different locale. Today, we travel deep into the Realm of Death, to the cursed city of Ulfenkarn.
‘A Fool’s Trove in Ulfenkarn’ is a campaign for four players. In it, players are free to choose any faction for their warband of would-be treasure seekers. Each group is roaming the Cursed City to find the ruined Ven Silveren estate before their rivals and take the riches that are rumoured to lie in the household’s crypts for themselves.
This gives you the perfect excuse to start up a new warband. For example, you could put together a band of stalwart Kharadron Overlords on the hunt for gold or perhaps a Necromancer seeking to earn the favour of Ulfenkarn’s ruler, the feared Vampire Lord, Radukar the Wolf.
The campaign comprises four battles in total, the last of which is a climactic Triumph & Treachery battle bringing all the players together in a clash across the Ven Silveren estate itself. The quick nature of the campaign makes it perfect to play over a few evenings at your gaming club or during a single, action-packed, weekend.
One of the most exciting mechanics in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City is the effects that day and night have on the game, so we wanted to do something similar here. During this campaign, a D3 is rolled at the start of each battle to determine how many battle rounds of daylight remain. After that, night falls and undead creatures begin to rise out of the ground, attacking any warband that strays too close.
If you’re planning on picking up the Cursed City boxed set, the miniatures within will serve you excellently in this Warcry campaign, but they’re not necessary. Any player with a collection of Skeleton Warriors or Deadwalker Zombies will have ample models to use as the horrors the adventuring warbands will face.We hope you’re enjoying the Call of the Everchosen series so far. Next month, we’ll be bringing not only another brand-new campaign, but a whole host of exciting things for you Warcry players to enjoy.
Thanks, Sam. Which warband will you be taking into the Cursed City in search of riches? While you decide, download the PDF of ‘A Fool’s Trove in Ulfenkarn’ and check out the terrors that await you.
