Prisoners

Prisoners

Many adventures have prisoners and there are even some great board tiles out there. Here are some optional rules to spice the game up a bit when prisoners are liberated from their jail cells or their captors.  

D6	Details
1	Ambush! The prisoners are actually more of the same type of Monsters that guarded them in a magical disguise. They gain Ambush and Hate towards the Warriors.
2	Ambush! The prisoners are actually servants to the dungeon lord and are armed with various crude weapons but are wearing only robes. They start to yell, alerting the guards. The servants have Hate towards the Warriors. Roll on the DL Random Monster Table. The Monsters arrive the following Turn.

4-5	The prisoners are happy to join your cause, only they are too weak (with 3 Wounds each). If cured they are actually Warriors.

Instead roll on the table below. 1-3 The prisoners are considered enemies. Fight like usual. 4-5 The prisoners recognize their kin that were there looking for them! They warn the Warriors of nearby dangers then leave. Cancel the next Ambush or Trap. 6 They are all convinced to join the Warriors cause!
6	To arms! The prisoners are happy to join you. Treat them as free Henchmen. They haven’t been there that long and are relatively healthy, missing 2 Wounds each.

Prison Guards

Whenever the guards are placed in a prison, make sure to include a Bossman. He will always have +5 Starting Wounds and +1 Strength minimum, if not a level higher than the other Monster guards. The Bossman is armed with a chaos weapon called a Shock Whip.

Shock Whip: -1 To Hit; Reach 4; DD + Str + Electric Shock (2D6 dmg, x2 dmg vs. metal armor).

If the Electric shock does unmodified damage higher than the DL, they have a Strength test. If the result is lower than the Bossman, the player is stunned for the rest of the Turn. If a 1 is rolled To Hit, he misses and is entangled in his own whip unable to attack for the rest of the Turn. He is considered Prone. After the battle, the Chaos Whip may have survived the battle on a 5+. It can only be used by Chaos Warriors or Chaos Dwarves.
