Henchmen 24

 

Grenadier Miniatures 2004 – Hirelings *

I'm practically a lurker in the bloggosphere and do not have the standing to publicly announce a challenge comparable to Dungeon 23. As mentioned, this personal notebook shall contain gameable ideas, to improve my own writing and to teach myself somewhat of a working schedule in regard to prep an open table OD&D-like game.

My very own challenge for this year will be the HENCHMEN 24. I know I'm already late to my own party, but furtheron I will post some kind of NPC a day. Hopefully, at the end of 2024 i will have gathered a collection of roughly 350 sketches of personalities, consisting of Retainers, Hirelings, Mercenaries, Porters, Torchbearers, Packanimals, Contacts, Johnsons and even Institutions. I might even arrange them in random table format for gaming purposes, but who knows?

 

LAFAYETTE

Prince Lír from The Last Unicorn (1982)

Fop**. Way to good manners, bad habits. Blackmail letter. Fancy Sword.

Fighter's Favourite: Prestige I.

Prestige I

- expend your equipped weapon. It is gifted to your counterpart in a parley, granting you +2 to a Reaction Roll even after the fact. Item is permanently lost.

- deploy your equipped weapon. In battle, chosen enemy will try to disarm you instead of  attack, being succesful on 7+ at a 2d6 check. Item needs to cool down by spending an exploration turn.
