I been for some time had aplan for a fantasy game in my head, and my collection of buildings and bits and bobs on inspection found it could be possible. I looked at the wonderful CROM rules by the great Matakishi and picked 3 linked scenarios . Using the Nutron New York 3000 combat system which i was well versed i laid out my terrain gathered my forces using the scenario suggestions. Conan has been thrown in jail in the village of Tarmina, his companions Subotai, Red Sonja, Belit and Valeria hunt down where the sullen eyes one is and set about finding his local in the village. The followers of set use this village to sell salves and make there base so it has guards and even a priest and his followers in the caverns below. The group arrives on market day and the guards quickly spot them
The Slave Market, six points must be gathered to find where Conan is in jail
The village is close walled and dangerous alleyways
A set guard Captain looks for trouble
Patrols wander the streets
Red Sonja sneaks inot the village
Belit slowly moving around
Subotia makes for the center of the village as he spots some information
Sonja gathers the first point
Subotai gathering a second
Valeria sneaks down an alleyway
The guards dive on Sonja blades flashing
Valeria is also ambushed in a tight spot
She felled under a hammer of blows
Subtai is no better as a patrol goes for him near the slavers stand

"who dies first!"
Subotai picks off the enmy one by one
