If anyone asks Holly about it she invites the PCs somewhere private and explains that her father promised her to Nicolai out of necessity. It is a DC 15 Sense Motive Check to notice this. On hearing this Holly Varn immediately grows uncomfortable. the Surtova! 'Tis a royal banner, a relation to the king.' Perhaps Varn survives his encounter with Vordekai and swears fealty to the PC's kingdom, but as Baron must still honor his previous vow.Ī lookout in the Tower of Varnhold stockade calls out: Perhaps Varn had a son instead and the betrothal is to Nicole Surtova instead. Desperate to bring an influx of BP into the kingdom he betrothed his daughter to Nicolai Surtova, a bastard cousin to Noleski Surtova. Varn had hoped to secure a political alliance by marrying Holly off to one of the Player's Council members, but the eligible bachelor died in combat. In my version of Varnhold Maeghar Varn had a daughter (Holly), she was 16 at the start of Book II, and due to Kingdom building time was 19 by the time the characters saved Varnhold.Īs I hinted in my changes to Varnhold Vanishing, Varnhold was at war with the Centaurs and the town's coffers were bleeding badly because of it. Strictly speaking it belongs between Varnhold Vanishing and Blood For Blood, but I'll place it here since it can occur any time during B4B. Okay so this is an encounter I ran the other night. Note this house-rule has not been tested against the armies in Book 5 (some of which are colossal), but since both sides get the bonus all it really means is more rounds of combat (and more excuses to jump into personal combat to capture and control Victory points). (There is still a slight chance the PCs could one-shot the trolls, but I prefer to favour the PCs in what is ultimately a mini-game). The CR 1 army of trolls would have 9 HP while the CR 1 army of warrior 3 (Barony Militia) would have HP of 15. This is basically just to prevent any army getting one-shot. If using mounted armies, only use the mount's size if the mounts are of higher CR than the riders. Creatures of Tiny Size or smaller are treated as being one size category smaller when determining bonus HP. I do use a houserule though:Īrmies gain bonus HP based on the size of the army.Ĭreatures of Large size or Larger are treated as having an army of one size category larger. You can find my stats for troll armies in my RRR: Hargulka's Monster Kingdom thread. ** spoiler omitted ** Isn't there a list somewhere with new armies? I like these thank you for sharing. I will post up rules about 'Wandering Armies', as the Tiger Lords and Boggards patrol their territories en-masse, the PCs might want to put together a force to deal with that. So there is very little I actually want to change in Blood 4 Blood, my post here is just to add options so that GM's who have groups that decide they want to use some Kingdom Resources to solve some problems can.īlood For Blood is easily one of the strongest books in Kingmaker, with active opponents. Nephew remains hidden in the nearby marshes most days, and comes out at night to prowl the streets.Ĭonvince the town to rise up against Uncle Pluckins (Opposed Diplomacy, Bluff or Intimidate vs Uncle Pluckins 3 times): 1 LP Uncle Pluckins keeps a retinue of 8 Drelev Guards (see Blood For Blood) with him at all times and a Marsh Giant named 'Nephew' who he calls on in an emergency. Use the stats for a Mayor from the GMG to represent Uncle Pluckins. Many in the town aren't happy about it, but none have the courage to stand up to Uncle Pluckins since he drowned the last person to argue with him.

Short Quest: Mudderton's Mayor is quite corrupt, and currently has the entire town working on building a Noble Villa for him to live in. The town is lead by the Mayor, a man known as 'Uncle' Pluckins to the entire town. Most of the refuse and garbage that floats away from Fort Drelev ends up in Mudderton where the residents pick through it for anything valuable. The center of town has a statue of Baron Hanniss Drelev. Most of Mudderton's residents are related by blood and don't trust those 'not of the kin'.

3 Houses, 1 Dump, 1 Mill, 1 Town Commons, 1 Monument, Noble Villa (1/2 Completed)ĭescription: Mudderton is aptly named, mostly made of dirt and mud, the residents of Mudderton are not friendly with strangers.
