Brigandsburg
Brigandsburg tends to house the more unsavory characters. Middenheimers abound here as do Witch Hunters. Some Reiklanders set up camp here and very few Marienburgers (after all it is too filthy for them). The Sisters have a presence here but it is only a safe house. Possessed are a rare site but do appear at times. Here you will find the most hired swords. If hired out of Brigandsburg they are hired at 75% of the base cost but their upkeep is the same. The streets of Brigandsburg are dangerous and not for the unwarry, if any Heros go out serching for Rare items they must roll a d6 under their I to keep carfull watch of them selves or risk ambush. If the test is failed they do not get to search for items as they are having to avoid the roving street thugs.
Roll on the encampment chart to find out what type of living space your warband has. When visiting Brigandsburg roll a D3 to find out how many special locations you may visit. You may choose to skip visiting locations and use the trading chart to get equiptment.

PHYSICIANS STUDENT
You may visit a Physicians Student to help heal or take care of battle wounds The surgeons of Brigandsburg are far too busy too have the time to spend on low life members from warbands and thus leave the dirty work to their students. Physicians Student are usually more reliable than any surgeon from Cutthroat’s Den but still lack experience. A Physicians Student costs 5 gc per hero you want to try to have healed. Roll on the Surgery Table to find out if the surgery was successful. Add +1 to your rolls if you are searching for Healing Herbs while at the surgeons.
Surgery Table
| D6 Roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1–3 | ‘Uh Oh’ The student has mistakenly cut a main artery whilst his shaky hands slipped during the procedure. He tried to save the patient, but he bleeds to death on the operating table. The patient dies and should be removed from the Warband roster. On the bright side, the student offers you D6×5 gc to keep this matter quiet, so that his master doesn’t hear about it. This amount is added to the warband's stash. |
| 4–5 | ‘I haven’t done this procedure before!’ The student becomes overexcited after seeing an opportunity to perform some surgery he’s never done before and fixes up another wound. If your fighter has any other serious injuries, the student attempts to fix one of them instead. Determine which serious injury the student operates on randomly. If your fighter doesn’t have any other serious injuries, then the student has made an error in his judgment on what a wound is. Roll a D6 and look up the result on the Uh Oh Table to see what happened to the unfortunate patient. |
| 6 | ‘Successful Surgery’ The surgery was a success. Remove the serious injury from the fighter’s profile on the Warband roster. |

| 2 | ‘Dead’ The student accidentally mistook one of your deep scars to be a wound and performs some unnecessary transplanting. Unfortunately, the fighter’s body rejects the organs and dies on the operating table. On the bright side, the student offers you D6×5 gc to keep this matter “hush, hush.” This amount is added to the warband's stash. |

TEST OF THE MAGI
Learning and knowledge are held high in Brigandsburg, and many a mage has sought the Test of the Magi to gain further insight into the arts.
The Test is similar to Sold to the Pits on pg 119 of the Mordheim Rule Book, but only a Hero Mage may enter the Test versus a Warlock (roll up 2 random spells). Both mages have been given a random Magical Item (only for this Test) and are blind folded. They must use their intuition to seek out the other and take him down. Therefore both models must roll under their Initiative to move or cast LOS spells (no shooting weapons are allowed).
Roll to see who goes first. If your Mage losses, roll to see whether he is dead or injured (ie, a D66 roll of 11-35). If he is not dead, he is thrown out of the Test and may re-join his warband.
If your Mage wins he gains +1 to casting his spells and +2 experience.
Gamble on the Mages: The test is open to the public, but under the heavy gaze of the local watch. You may enter one of your heroes to bet on the Test. Roll a D6 to bet.
- 1-2 The Mage you bet on shows some talent but not enough. He is dispatched and you are out of D6x5 gc.
- 3-4 The Mage you bet on puts on a spectacle and wins but the odds were for him, you only win D6gc
- 5-6 The Mage you place your money on is a long shot which pays off in the end, you win D6x5 gc.
THE IRON CUTLASS
This is a tavern where you may play a game of chance, look for new recruits or just get smashed. You may gamble at any time in The Iron Cutlass. To find out what else you can do roll a D6 and consult the Tavern chart.
| D6 | Result | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Drugged | One of your heroes (chosen randomly) partakes of a curious drink offered to him by a stranger. After one swig, he feels the effect of the liquid take hold – he has been drugged! Roll a D6: 1–3: Your hero has been poisoned and is at -1 Toughness for the duration of the next battle. 4–6: The liquid in question is actually a very strong ale, and your hero quickly gains a taste for it. He wakes up the next morning with a pounding head. |
| 2 | Pickpocket | As your warband jostles through the crowded bar, your leader suddenly gets a feeling that something is wrong. He reaches for his crowns to find them gone—snatched by a lousy pickpocket. Count the loss of half your gold crowns. |
| 3 | Pit Fight | You come on a night when the bar is open for pit fighting. You may enter one of your heroes in (per the Serious Injury chart) or bet on the fights. Roll a D6 if betting: 1–2: The fighter you bet on puts up a good fight but not good enough. He is dispatched and you are out D6×5 gc. 3–4: The fighter you bet on puts up a good fight and wins, but the odds were for him—you only win D6 gc. 5–6: The fighter you place your money on is a long shot which pays off—you win D6×5 gc. |
| 4–5 | Hireling | Whilst carousing in the bar, you meet many different characters and fighters. You sit down to have a few drinks with some. Roll a D6: 1: You are drinking with a warlock who offers you his services at half the normal rate. 2: An ogre challenges you to a drinking contest. Roll on the appropriate table. 3: You sit down with a halfling scout and start to exchange recipes.

He offers his services for the next battle for free. 5: A young fellow joins you, itching to test his mettle in Mordheim. You may add an extra henchman to your party (this is above your racial maximum). 6: You speak with a battle-hardened fellow whose warband was slain in Mordheim. You may offer for him to join your warband as a hero. If you don't have room (i.e. already have 2 champions or 2 youngbloods), you may use the stats of a henchman (like Lads Got Talent). |

Roll a D6: 1: Your leader is thrashed and loses D6×3 gp. 2: Your leader is badly beaten and loses D6 gp. 3: Your leader knocks the patron down and takes D6×3 gp for his impudence. 4: The patron’s warband joins in.
