Mummy, The [Khemri setting].pdf

The Mummy

Arise noble creature. May your life-force grow strong. May your heartbeat begin

anew. May your will be at my desire...'

Rites of binding - translated from the original Nehekhara text

Before the catastrophe that befell Mordheim, it was home to many wealthy Merchants

and Wizards. Many of these were great entrepreneurs and historians interested in the

many and varied mysteries of the world. They collected relics and antiquities from all

corners of the globe. All manner of items were collected: art and pottery from Tilea;

jewel-encrusted glyphs from far off Lustria and ancient scrolls, books and even

sarcophagi from myth shrouded desert lands of Khemri. Not all of these sarcophagi were,

of course, empty...

Many an archaeologist or unscrupulous tomb robber made a tidy profit by selling the

relics and idols of Khemri to the more morbid and sinister of Mordheim's residents. Of

course, it wasn't just wise sages or pretentious nobles who sought the lost treasures of

Khemri, many were shady warlocks who studied the dark arts.

A tale has slowly filtered back to the taverns and drinking dens of the encampments

surrounding the City of the Damned. This tale tells of a Necromancer who discovered

one of these valuable finds amongst the ruins of the city. He made discovery of a

sarcophagus that contained the mummified remains of the dread Tomb King KaHotep of

Khemri. The Necromancer was apparently slain by the Tomb King after awakening him

from his centuries-long slumber and trying to bend him to his will.

Apparently the mummy is still at large haunting the dark streets of Mordheim and has

reputedly gathered a host of skeletons as his servants and warriors to protect his hoard of

treasure and ancient artefacts. It is rumoured that if a brave warband can find the mummy

and slay him that the riches he will discover in the Mummy's lair will be a king's ransom.

Needless to say many warriors whose greed has made them foolish are out searching the

ruins of Mordheim for a monster's gold.

In this scenario the warbands have discovered the lair of an Undead Mummy and are

trying to steal its treasure.

Warbands

2-6 Warbands of any race/alignment and an arbitrator.

terrain

Each player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, either a ruined building, tower, or

other similar item. The first building to be placed is the tomb building and should be

placed in the centre of the table. If you are playing with two players use a 4x4 table, if

you are playing with 3-6 players use a 4x6 Table. Setup: each player rolls a D6 and

whoever rolls highest sets up first. Use the standard deployment rules (i.e. for two player

game pick a table edge and set-up within 8 inches of it, with no warband member being

closer than 8 inches from an enemy warband member.) For 3-6 players use the mufti-

player set-up rules.

Special Rules

The warbands know the mummy's hoard is in the warehouse area of the docks in

Mordheim but only a detailed search of the surrounding buildings will uncover it. Each

time a member of a warband (not animals or brainless Undead such as Zombies) enters a

building that has not been previously searched, roll 2D6, on a result of 10+ the member

of the warband has found the mummy's treasure hoard. Players may not search buildings

in the deployment zone as they have already been searched, and may only search a

building once. If none of the players have scored a 10+ when there is only one building

left, the hoard is automatically found within that building and the mummy and its

skeleton guardians are then placed by the arbitrator (or if you don't have one randomly

select an opposing player) within 8" of the building.

KaHotep the Mummy

Mummies are the bandage-covered corpses of the Priest Kings of Nehekhara. The Priest

Kings were obsessed with death and strove to find a way to cheat it. On their deaths their

bodies would be bandaged and embalmed in mysterious chemicals designed to keep the

corpse from deteriorating and to keep the soul close by KaHotep is one of the

aformentioned Priest Kings although not as powerful as Settra, who ruled the great city of

Khemri. KaHotep was none the less a powerful warrior and ruler in his lifetime.

Weapons/Armour: Two massive clawed fists, which count as hand weapons, the extra

attack for using two hand-to-hand weapons is included in his profile.

Causes Fear: The mummy is a terrifying Undead creature that causes Fear .

Flammable: Being a mummy (and wrapped in oil-soaked bandages) KaHotep takes

double damage from fire based attacks.

No Pain: KaHotep being undead suffers no pain so treat Stunned as Knocked Down.

May not Run: Being Undead KaHotep may not run (but may double its movement to

charge).

Two Tomb Guardians per Warband

As a High Noble of Khemri, KaHotep had a loyal bodyguard of Tomb Guardians and

when he died, they were buried in his pyramid to guard him in the afterlife. As a part of

the curse KaHotep has revived these guardians that were brought with him to Mordheim

to help him find the book of KaHotep so that he can retain his everlasting life

Tomb Guardians have the following profile.

Weapons/Armour: Tomb Guardians are armed with swords, wear light armour and

shield.

Causes Fear: Tomb Guardians are terrifying Undead creatures that causes Fear.

No Pain: Tomb Guardians being undead suffer no pain so treat Stunned as Knocked

May not run: Being undead Guardians they may not run (but they may double their

Once the mummy has been put out of action the tomb guardians will turn to dust, all

tomb guardians still in the game will immediately go out of action.

The Mummy Phase: Immediately after KaHotep has been deployed (when his hoard is

discovered) he gets a turn. This turn works exactly like a normal players turn. KaHotep

will be able to charge, cast spells recover from damage etc. KaHotep will not leave his

tomb area except to charge a warrior who is within 6 inches of the tomb, if any warrior

enters the tomb building KaHotep will leave combat (opponents get a free strike as he

leaves) and will attempt to get into close combat with the player who desecrated his

tomb.

Starting the Game

Each player rolls a dice and the player with the highest roll going first.

Ending the game

The game ends when KaHotep is put out of action, and one warband is only one to have

any models within 6" of the hoard.

Treasure Hoard

Once KaHotep has been vanquished, the warriors are free to loot the hoard.

Unfortunately most of the hoard consisted of ancient scrolls and pottery from the tomb of

KaHotep and was trampled by the previous warband when they were searching for the

hoard. But a modest amount of the treasure still remains buried in the ruin. Roll 1D6 for

each item separately except for gold crowns which you automatically find.

Silence covered the underground chamber like a thick choking blanket. The two

Reiklanders moved tentatively forward, stepping over fallen debris and moving dust that

has remained still since the comet's untimely arrival upon Mordheim. There it was, a vast

hoard of gold and jewels heaped in the corner as a gardener would dump compost for his

plants. Heinrich gave an involuntary gulp and quickened his pace, any pretense of

remaining silent forgotten in his excited rush to get to the gold before him. Ronard, the

more experienced and older held back and continued to look round like a cat on tender-

hooks.

A low moan escaped from one of the many darkened alcoves. Ronard immediately raised

his halberd and Heinrich stopped and nervously looked around. Again the moan sounded,

much closer than before. Heinrich opened his mouth to say something but was stopped

dead as a Skeletal figure dropped, cat-like, from the ceiling next to him - its ancient

sword already moving in a deadly arc. Heinrich screamed in sheer terror but this was cut

short as his head left his body falling to the floor with a dull thud.

The Tomb Guardian looked directly at Ronard, its empty eye sockets seeming to stare

straight into his terrified soul, Two more guardians dropped from above but Ronard

needed little more excuse to turn and run. Scrabbling over the debris he headed down the

thirty foot tunnel for the safety of daylight. Ten feet from the entrance he collided with

someone and fell to the ground heavily. Not looking he tried to shove the fool out of his

way. It was only then he realised he was looking into the glowing red eyes of an ancient

Undead mummy..
