News of our victory at Darkspume will have no doubt reached you by now. The time to move the coven grows near and we must rejoice in that fact. However, there is a danger of complacency if we fail to act accordingly. We are now free to move westwards through the depths of the forest as our enemies are now scattered, but time is short. They will rally in the days to come, no doubt gaining strength as quickly as we bled it from them. So M has ordered that the perfect sacrifice should be moved by the end of this moon.
Your task is to clear the path through the forest to the east of us. You will be familiar with the Old Forest Road from our earliest times together. The place is much changed now and is bitterly contested. Followers of the Bloody One and the Father of Flies have fought each other for many years for possessions of the crags, glades and clearings. Our journey will be the swifter if these rivals are distracted.
You are to find the shrine of Gloth'as'skar, an ancient statue dedicated to our lord. The shrine consists of a craven image, gouged from stone, and is lost somewhere along the Road. Supplied with this letter is a preserved heart. This and this alone will re-activate the shrine and cast our Lord's power and influence across the land. This power, if properly directed, will further disrupt our enemies and allow our safe passage.
I have little aid to give thee apart from the knowledge that a simple woodcutter dwells near the shrine. According to our spies, he knows the lay of the land like no other and will be a good place to start in your search. It is likely that the shrine is protected by enchantment, most likely illusion, though the heart will allow what cannot be seen to be seen once again.
Additionally, I have supplied a ring for one of your followers. It contains a petty illusion spell. I am not privy to the blessings of your followers but I expect that few can past unnoticed amongst the non-believers. This ring will remedy that. Slip the band on to a finger, and all the uninitiated will see is a common peasant man. Use this tool wisely.
Find the shrine and re-activate it. Be on your guard for our enemies and the creatures of the forest.
Do not fail our master.
Do not fail me.

This is the first scenario that I have published on Realm of Chaos 80s. I am a huge fan and staunch believer of the narrative game, probably due to my strong links with role-playing, and feel that WFB3 is the ideal ruleset to explore games that are really just interactive stories. The overview published below sets the background to the story of this little scenario and provides an oversight to all of the factions involved. If you intend to run this game (or hope to play your part in it) I would stop reading now, as the details of the game are published below. The GM running the game just need provide the appropriate set of stats to each of his players and ensure that they have copies of the background materials.
The scenario has been designed to be played between 2-4 players with a very small number of models. No prior knowledge of WFB3 is required to play if the GM has a good understanding of them. I have added the concept of an intelligence test to the game. This allows players to have the chance to notice little details that provide at little atmosphere and further information to the game.
I have provided notes under many characters based on the rules from WFB3. If you are unfamiliar with these, it will be worth your while in checking what these mean exactly. Otherwise, feel free to change, adapt or ignore anything you wish too. The purpose of this scenario is to have a narrative game full of suspense, action and betrayal.
A full write up of me GMing this game can be read here - part 1, part 2 and part 3. You may wish to read the report first before continuing with this article, that way the spoilers will not raise their heads until you need them too!

GM's Overview
This scenario involves a small warband of Slaanesh moving eastwards through the Drakwald Forest. The group is lead by Blandidir, a dark elf, who has lived for many years as a house servant in the affluent town of Drakberz. Though hiding in plain sight as a servant, Blandidir is in fact the head of a local coven of Slaaneshi worshippers. The human who she pretends to serve is in fact a lower ranking member of the group called Ernest Schutz. Most of the coven is mutated and hides beneath the brick built buildings of the town. As the coven has grown in size it is becoming difficult to exist comfortably in Drakberz. The coven's distant and mysterious leader and benefactor, known only as H, has uncovered a ruined tower east of the town which is ideal for the group's plans. They have raised the daughter of a local silk merchant to the rank of priestess and she is now committed to sacrificing herself to the dark whims of the pleasure god. However, before such ceremonies can be properly prepared, the coven needs to be moved through disputed forest territory. Blandidir and the warriors of the coven have been ordered to activate a largely forgotten shrine in order to disrupt their enemies and ensure safe passage to their new home. She has been given instructions that describe a contact deep in the forest along the Old Forest Road. Her target is a small cottage, owned by a local woodcutter, and spies have confirmed that he knows the area better than anyone else.
Close to the cottage stands a singular hole in the ground known locally as Goblin's Lure. It is the home of an ancient and particularly intelligent spider called Grubshat. Many of the locals know of the spider and go out of their way to avoid its territory but few feel threatened by her because she feeds solely on the goblins who lurk in the dark, damp places of the forest. Due to this, local humans are rather protective of her and fear that outsiders will no doubt decided to hunt down the spider and kill her. Locals worry that this will cause the goblins to multiple considerably and cause severe problems for those who live in the forest.
Ripnose Snotz is a common goblin with delusions of grandeur. His small band of gobbos has sworn to slay old Grubshat once and for all. Snotz and his wolf riders plan to travel towards the spider, draw the beast out and kill her. This is unusually brave behaviour to a goblin, but Snotz has a cunning ploy at hand. A magic potion that bestows upon its drinker a period of fearlessness. Just perfect for taking on a spider of hideous size. His small force is lurking among the bushes around the time Blandidir arrives in the woodcutter's clearing. Will Snotz be able to drum up the courage to lead his small force out towards the spider and kill the beast?
Voight Dripsore is a champion of Nurgle. He has been ordered to destroy the rival Slaaneshi faction and loot their equipment as their group is in urgent need of resupply. He needs to plan an ambush that will ensure a quick, concise victory over the Purple Palm coven at minimal risk to his own forces. There is one catch! One of the Slaaneshi coven members is an unwitting informant for Nurgle and needs to be kept alive if possible!
Jon Branch is a were. An honest were. Afraid of the harm he could do to other humans in his monthly transformations into a giant wolf he has secreted himself away in the depths of the forest to live the life of a woodcutter. Years of roaming the area has caused him to become a local oracle of knowledge and he is often consulted by the local hunting fraternity. Even dwarfs have been known to question him about the qualities of local rocks!
Gloth'as'skar is an imprisoned daemon prince. Disgraced by trickery, he has been condemned to be bound within a statue until a blood sacrifice is washed upon the shrine's stones. However, the shrine is magically hidden and it is highly unlikely that anyone will ever seek him out. Frustrated by the aeons, this entity waits for someone foolish enough to re-activate his prison and let him loose on the mortal plane once more!

Goblin Player Overview
"Snotz haz had enuff! Nah more gobboz is ganna be gobbley upzie by dat 'airy bugga, Grabshat! Wiv diz brayavree poeshon us gobboz will scwish dat kreepie krawlie wiv ar wulf boys. Yoo fwree gobbos wiv aaht wulfies wiv 'ave ta waotch ar baks an' keyp Old Jon 'oled up in 'is paddick!"
Ripnose Snotz is a goblin with purpose. For many years, the giant spider, Grabshat, has hunted the goblins of his tribe and generally prevented the 'Bad Eggz Boyz' from spreading their influence westwards. With the recent addition to Snotz swag bag of an expensive 'Potion of Courage' the time has come to eliminate the pesky arachnid and make an name for Snotz and his boyz. Glory awaits the goblin who can rid the forest of the old spider. Jon Branch, a half-were human and protector of the spider, lives locally and may need distracting or eliminating before Grubshat can be killed. The truth about Jon is not generally known, and is only knowledge to the goblins due to their skulking in the forest and endless snooping. Perhaps its a secret that can be used to their advantage?
The goblin player should be handed their stats and the information published for their faction. They enter to the south of the Slaaneshi forces, on the left hand corner of the board d12 turns after the Slaaneshi players first turn.. Their target, Grubshat, will be lurking inside Goblin's Lure (a small hole in the ground) on the right hand corner of the board.

Nurgle Player Overview
"Voight,
We have been informed that a group of rival cultists have emerged from the fields around Drakberz and are making their way along the Old Forest Road. Our informant has reported this group to be followers of the Purple Palm, a Slaaneshi group active in the town. I understand that they are well equipped with magical items that will be useful to our cause.
Your instructions are clear. Locate this group, ambush them along the road and kill them. Their equipment must be looted and returned to me here, as the Deathfist will soon begin to push at our boarders once more. Spare the life of the wizard Brugal Vassel though, he doesn't yet know it, but he is the informant feeding us with the knowledge we so desperately need. Father Nurgle has blessed him with a most fortunate illness and as the pustules burst, so the pus speaks to His servants of the perverse plans of the Purple Palm.
Leave no other witnesses.
Molke"
Voight is an enforcer. The Old Forest Road has long represented a territorial line between rival chaos groups. Since his defeat in the Badlands of the South, the major force in the area, the Khornate Champion, Deathfist, has been in decline. His forces are now stretched thin and Slaaneshi and Nurgle Warbands are vying to wrest control of the forests from him. It is Voight's role to harass enemy forces within these disputed areas of the forest and to interrupt their movements if he can. An accomplished kidnapper and killer before his discovery of the Plague Lord, Voight is the right man for this brutal occupation.
As the Nurgle forces are ambushing their rivals, Voight's warband can enter the game from any direction. In fact, they may split up and enter from all four sides of the board if they so wish. They can reveal themselves at any point in the preceedings.

The Battlefield
The design of the the gaming board is largely up to the whims of the GM. It will need a suitable building to act as Jon Branch's cottage and this should include a small fenced off (or walled off) area to act as his garden. Slaaneshi forces enters play from the North, as seen in the image above, while the goblin player enters on the bottom left hand corner. The location of the shrine and the Goblin's Lure is up to the GM. It is probably best to keep the two locations suitably apart, though there is nothing stopping you putting them in the same place if you so wish. Remember that the location of the shrine is totally secret and can only be activated by the preserved heart being in base-to-base contact with the position of the shrine. The Nurgle player can on any of the four gaming corners.
Notes on Play
The game begins when the Slaaneshi player first moves on to the table.
The Nurgle forces remain hidden until their player wishes to enter the board.
Grubshat will reveal herself when the goblins are within 12" of here hide away. She will not attack any other factions unless attacked herself of if any characters move within 6" of her. She will not attack Jon under any circumstances. She long ago became used to his presence and does not consider him a threat.
Jon will transform into a werewolf instantly if any aggressive entity enters his garden. He will attack anyone in order to protect his home. If he is in line of sight of anyone attacking Grubshat he will transform into a wolf and move at double rate towards the attacking enemy. Upon base to base contact, Jon has the usual +1 bonus as if he had charged normally.
Successful Int tests (to be carried out by the GM in secret) will result in the following.
1. Noises and pungent animal smells will be noticed by any character moving with 12" of the goblin player's corner before their arrival. The GM should indicate vaguely that the small is like that of cattle but with a more savage tang. There is no need to state that the small is that of goblins. Just give the impression that something is lurking within the bushes.
2. A sense of being watched will creep up over any character moving within 18" of the Goblin's Lair. Inform the player involved that there is an ancient, inhuman intelligence that is regarding them with cold interest. Hint that it may not be through eyes that the observations are being made.
3. Jon can be recruited to aid any non-chaos looking character. He will defend them using his human profile but would only turn into a wolf man in the direst need. he will want to keep this a secret. He will not help any obvious follower of a chaos god however. Nor will he help the goblins.
4. Any chaos player coming within 2" of the shrine's location will report a feeling of being near a magical object.
Feel free to use secret intelligence tests to add any other options that you feel add to the drama of the game.
