Mordheim Legend
The
Drooler in the Dark
I stood at the door of the ruined building, my
face pale. A cold sweat dampened my brow. I turned to
look at my companion to see how he was faring.
“Prepare yourself, Karl. We are about to face
something so horrible and evil that I am surprised that
the very earth does not reject its presence.”
“What is this horror?” said Karl.
“The Drooler in the Dark, the Dog That Should
Not Be...” I said, my voice trailing off to a
whisper.
“A Hound of Chaos!” Karl cried as a look
of terror crossed his face.
“No, far worse.” I said as the door
swung open, revealing It.
“Oh, look at the cute doggy!” said Karl,
stepping forward to meet the Beast.
“No, Karl!” I cried, but it was already too
late...
Disclaimer: Any resemblance
between dogs, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

its owner and does need to take any Stand Alone tests.
