Briefing
A little over six hours ago the New
Burnham reliquary, 25 miles from the
borders of Dead Zone Gamma, fell to an
undead strike force. Our spotters report
the undead are methodically destroying
the reliquary.
New Burnham was the resting place
of St. Attarib. His remains are hidden in
a deep chamber, so the undead may not
have found it yet. Once you have retrieved
the saint’s bones you can call for evac.
Enemy Forces: Initial reports indicate
the force is at least company-sized, and is
commanded by a Young Vampire
Support: You will be accompanied by a
Lance of sergeants. Air transports will drop
you three miles from the target. The big
push into Gamma prevents other resources
being dedicated to this mission.
Equipment: Load yourselves down
with as much ammo as you can carry. This
should be a short mission, but expect heavy
resistance.
the Dead Zone is
slowly leeching the
life from them.
The Knights
have to travel on
foot through the
wood, to the New
Burnham Reliquary.
The undead how-
ever, have left some
nasty surprises for
them in the woods.
For every half
mile of travel, draw
one card from the
Action Deck. If it is a face card one of the
unit has triggered a corpse mine, roll to
choose the victim randomly, but keep in
mind the blast radius of the explosions
which might catch other members of the
unit. Only four corpse mines in total can be
encountered.
Heavy Cover.
A further three zombies wait on the
stairs down into the catacombs. One waits
on each landing hoping to ambush any in-
truders in the dark (–4 lighting penalty).
The fate of St. Attarib
Exploring the catacombs, the knights
discover a breach in a far wall. They are
too late—the undead have discovered the
saint’s tomb.
Within awaits the vampire commander
and the remaining four zombie troopers.
The vampire has performed a foul ritual
to corrupt the bones of the saint. He now
wears the bones like a shirt, coating him
in armoured ice—Attarib is one of the four
angels of winter. The vampire is also armed
with a rune dagger—its rune inscribed
blade bleeding darkness.
The undead fi ght to their second death;
they do not expect or offer mercy.
The Reliquary
The area around the reliquary itself is
surrounded by barren killing ground. Not
long ago, it was a landscaped garden, but a
brief fi refi ght destroyed its tranquillity. The
rose beds and ornamental trees have now
been destroyed by fi repower and trampled
under undead feet.
The entrance to the reliquary can only
be reached by crossing 10 inches (20
yards) of a blasted killing ground. Eight
zombie troopers are arranged around the
entrance taking cover behind waist high
walls which once divided the garden into
quadrants—this provides them with Light
Cover. Two more have taken cover behind
an overturned Ezekial Repair Truck, which
provides Medium cover. Unless the knights
managed to avoid the Corpse Mines—or
prevented them from exploding—these
zombies are expecting an attack.
Within the Reliquary are another six
zombies. Three of them await the knights
behind the closed doors. They have piled
furniture inside, providing them with
A Walk in the Woods
The two Cherub rotary wing aircraft, fl y
as high as they can until they are close to
the insertion point, in an attempt to avoid
enemy surface-to-air missile fi re. This gives
the knights a perfect view of Gamma Dead
Zone miles to the east.
The assault on the DZ continues. The
knights can see massive plumes of smoke
and even the occasional explosion, which
must be massive, given the distance. They
can see several battles from their lofty
perch, but can’t hear them—making the
vista slightly surreal.
The insertion point is uncontested, but
the Cherubs only pause for the knights and
sergeants to deploy, before swiftly leaving.
The insertion point is a small woodland
clearing, which has so far been spared in
the fi ghting. Even so, the trees are skeletal
and blackened. Their relative closeness to
Aftermath
The survivors must wait for over an hour
for evac. When the Cherubs arrive they
bear a team of grim faced Inquisitors who
question the knights during the return
journey. It is clear they believe the saint’s
bones were corrupted due to the laziness
and lack of faith of the knights.
