“I work for the adventurer’s guild; we were looking into the corrupted beasts recently and came across a mage’s tower. He appeared to be looking into something he called “the Seed”, which seems a likely suspect for the corruption, as well as mention of a nature mage, so I took it upon myself to look a bit further into the subject. I found the books in the tower. As you can see, the series the mage had is incomplete, which limits what I can do, really.

I’d appreciate your insight, and hopefully the missing books too, if you have them available.”

"Yup yup, Aven mentioned the adventurers he brought in. Well let's take a look here."

She opens the first set of books and flips through all three simultaneously.

"Basic stuff, you are missing a few volumes, and these are outdated editions."

Flo clambers over the shelves skillfully and disappears into the upper reaches of the library, then returns with a full set of Elementary Nature Magic.

"There we are. I don't think these will help you much. Certain tomes aid in directly dilating magical reserves, make the reader more receptive to magic. Your books are mostly theory though, for classroom use."

Doctor Doak gains Elementary Nature Magic Volumes I-VI (10th Edition).

"The Seed... it may or may not have to do with any of the myths associated with the Forest of... well I'm not sure if the Forest has a name. We're far from the capital and not all places have been charted and named yet. I've heard it referred to as "Unknown Forest" by travellers and outside visitors but I digress."

Flo pulls out a book at random from a nearby shelf and starts flipping through the pages.

"Seed, seed... it could be anything. A forest deity, or old wives' tales about human-snaring trees, or rare yield-boosting forest seeds, ground up into mulch by farmers and scattered over their fields. I could help narrow it down if you can share more clues, did you notice any landmarks while you were in the tower? Oh also..."

Flo adjusts her glasses.

"If you are trying to learn magic maybe I can help you out?"

Flo attempts to smile but it comes out more as a smirk.

"You can check out anything you like in here, no charges. But unlocking magic potential, improving existing talents, the required training and practice to sustain learnt magic feats, I can help out with all of those!"

Flo leans in close to Doctor Doak with a wicked grin going almost from ear to ear.

"What do you say? It'll only cost a modest amount, just enough for the library's upkeep."

I was playing Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition as a Dwarf team (obviously ) against an undead team, and made an error that was to result in a sure touchdown against me, on the very last turn of the first half.

Their flesh golem (an annoyance because it is hard to knock down as a result of having higher strength than all my players) picked up the ball and made a bee line for my end zone. They had to go for it the last two spaces - this means they roll a D6 for each space, and if they fail the roll, fall over, also a bold decision since it was a blizzard, which I believe results in failure on a roll of 1 or 2 instead of just 1 - and evidently succeeded the first square, and failed the second.

When a player is knocked down, they make a roll to determine their injury, if any.

The injury was death.

Half time!

In the Bloodbowl Team Manager board game, the undead are pretty much a chaos version the dwarves, but better. Is that true in the normal version as well?
