YE MORDHEIM LEGENDS GAZETTE |
OUTLAWS Its not a coincidence that Mordheim attracts the worst kind of people society produces; mercenaries, renegades, escaped prisoners, insane wizards, thieves and other scum. All of them seeking fortune and gold in the City of the Damned. The Local Authorities are worried and keep a close watch on who enters and leaves this city, and not without good reason. To maintain some resemblance of order in Mordheim the authorities use Watchmen. These groups of Watchmen consists mostly of the strongest (and often worst) warbands in the City. You didn't think any of the local authorities would set one step in this cursed city now did you? After every fight between warbands there's always a chance that a warband will be declared "outlaw" by the authorities. A warband may not have committed any crime at all and be outlawed anyway. Just because they have been falsely acccused by someone who's scared of them or just jealous of their reputation. But it is far more likely a warband becomes outlawed because it has broken the law and just had the misfortune to be caught and punished. Whenever two warbands fight either player can decide to report the incident to the Watchmen afterwards. This accusation may cause the other warband to be outlawed. There is nothing to prevent both players reporting to the Watchmen; indeed such counter-allegations are very common. Naturally outlawed warbands can't report to the Watchmen as they would be shot on sight. In the Post Battle Sequence each accused player must roll 2D6 to see whether accusations against his warband come to the attention of the authorities. Its possible for both warbands to become outlawed this way. Outlaw Table

Being an outlaw Being an outlaw makes things very difficult. For one thing the income the warband collects after a scenario is halved. But the worst thing of being an outlaw is.... Bounty Outlaws are generally worth a bounty, dead or alive - that's why there are bounty hunters, after all. Any warband which captures or kills an outlaw can collect a reward on them from the authorities. The standard going rate for a bounty is equal to the captured or deceased outlaw's total cost. Naturally outlaws can't collect bounty on other outlaws, more because they would be killed or captured than for ethical reasons. |
