Broken Dreams

With their new mission statement the Nights Watch set out to clean up Mordheim. This dream would never be realised. Days after saving Bram de Havik’s own Watchmen the warband saw the true horrors of Mordheim for the first time.

There are monsters in Mordheim. You cannot control such things with law you must fight them and not with lawmen but warriors born and bred for the task. Beastmen! They came from the night with little more warning then their braying charge. Before the men of the Watch knew what was happening the beasts were upon them. The men of the watch broke… their sanity pushed too far. When they stopped running, when they could no longer hear the braying they realised two of their number were missing, Bram de Havik and Lars Van der Jager; Ruben’s newest ally and his oldest son. They waited out. Hoping the two would find their way too them but by the morning they were still absent. At first light the Watchmen headed back to where they had been attacked; wary of the Beastmen. The beasts were gone however, and they had left little of the missing pair. Beastmen eat what they kill but enough was left to confirm the worst.

Ruben walked away after retrieving his son’s sword. The Watchmen followed and not a word was spoken.
