[Sellswords] Battle Report: Greenskin Hunters

Today I played the second scenario of my Solo campaign of "Sellswords & Spellslingers". The basic scenario was from the rulebook: Orcs and slippery stones pg44.

Orcs and Goblins harass a nearby village of the fortified town of Lakoras.
Amron decide to help the villagers, but only because they offered a reward for each greenskin killed.

Background:
The purse of Amron was rather poor, just some few silver pieces were not enought to buy the scroll he wanted from the wizards' guild of Lakoras. He needed to gain more money and the villagers offered to him a fair reward for each greenskin head he could take to them.
Amron: "Well, it's time to work, my friends... Clean up the area from the greenskin scum!"
The Twins looked with an offense expression, then Amron smiled under his helmet and said:
"With the obvious exception of my friends, the Twins, of course... You are not scum." 😏

Being an half elf and the result of an illicit relationship, Amron could not be officially recognized by the Graciale family, however his father grew him as his son and he could enjoy a comfortable life. When he was an adult, he finds out to have the spellcaster gift and his father paid a magician to teach him. Dissatisfied with the limiting lessons of his teacher, he decided to begin a journey in the Border Princes, where he could test is magic skills and learn magic faster.

Amron finish the wounded orc brute with his fireball and the Twins move to rob the body.

The Twins: "Dead Orc rich, many coins for us!"

Amron: "The Twins, you are a really little petty thieves..." 😒

Amron cast another fireball and two goblins are killed. He rob the orc brute and gain a potion of defness.

[Sellswords] Battle Report: Through the Stretto Pass

Today I played the first scenario of what will be my first Solo campaign of "Sellswords & Spellslingers". The first basic scenario was from the rulebook: Through the Badlands pg42.

The Cabal of Graciale cross a wilderness are of the Stretto Pass occupied by Orcs. They must cross the table and exit from the northern edge, avoiding or slaying their foes. The foes are 3 Orc brutes and an Ogre (in the original scenario is a Green Troll, but I have not a Troll, then the ogre have the same stats of the troll but without regeneration).

Background:
Kroglod stopped suddenly, sniffing the air, he recognize the acrid smell of his kin: the greenskin.
Kroglod: "Master, Kroglod smells greenskin. Trouble." he said with grunts.
Amron was annoyed, he have hoped to avoid the greenskins, at least for now.
Amron: "Well, we just arrived in these lands of outlaws and yet we found a warm welcome from its natives. My real adventure begins now. Daethskar, Kroglod go on ahead, I will follow you and will cast some fireballs if our green friends will try to stop us."
Daethskar obeyed immediately, while Kroglod followed him reluctantly.
