When a raid party is sent into the field (It is also a bit of your judgement whether this can succeed). If the forces of the Prince of Darkness really camp in front of the City gates (quite dangerous with the shooting from above), it is a bit difficult to do a sortie. Another question is how you can do so without being seen. One thing to be aware of is that all parties can do raids. To initiate a raid, the raid party leader goes to the responsible map/raid umpire at the central map table and/or the Urr surroundings map table (the latter might be more appropriate) and tells the story behind the raid.
To judge whether a raid will be successful, the map/raid umpire listens to the raid party leader for the reason why a raid party should be a success.
The bones should include:
He adds the following story bonus to the raid party:
| Qualification | Result | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Unique good working story | +2 | Rarely more than once per turn |
| Good story | +1 | |
| Dime a dozen | 0 | This should be the major number of raid events |
| This is the standard story | -1 | |
| This failed many times before | -2 | Rarely more than once per turn |
Other modifiers:
| Reason | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Entering a fortified location | -2 |
| Entering a camp | -1 |
| Difference of race when entering a camp/fort | -1 |
| Party not trained for the mission | -1 |
| Party specialized for mission | + 1 |
This table contains a list for some predefined targets. As players will think about other targets for raids and it is impossible to create a list with all possible targets. However, with this table it should be possible to create a similar result.
