Pyregheists Quests

Source: Pyre and Flood (out of print)

Spoils from the Ashes

Balefire consumes all in its wake, leaving behind scorched wastelands. Victims rendered by these flames are reduced to potent ashes that, when gathered in sufficient quantities, bestow fell strength upon the bearer.

Pick 1 artefact of power from the Scorched Spoils table (see below) and note it in your quest log. You cannot pick an artefact of power already borne by a fighter in your warband.

While embarked upon this quest, you must keep track of the progress your warband makes, represented by a progress score.

At the end of a battle, add 1 to your progress score for each Pyre token on the battlefield. In addition, add 1 to your progress score if you won the battle.

You can complete this quest once your progress score is 5 or more. When you complete this quest, you obtain the artefact of power that was noted in your quest log.

Scorced Spoils

Artefact
Ashes of Ambition
Contained in this urn are the thwarted ambitions of champions and great leaders. Their failure now enables this fighter’s victories.
Enemy fighters with the Hero (Hero) runemark within 3" of the bearer cannot use abilities.
Ashes of Hatred
Their fervent hatred for the thralls of Nagash did not grant these victims the strength to defeat them. Now their emotions empower this fighter.
Add 1 to the damage allocated by each hit and critical hit from melee attack actions made by the bearer.
Ashes of Jealousy
There are none hated more by Nagash than those who seek to prolong their lives. Even in death, they are not allowed escape from their punishment, and they now ward this fighter.
Add 1 to the Toughness characteristic of the bearer.
Ashes of Loss
The losses inflicted by the Pyregeists are beyond counting. Those who seek revenge for the fallen risk sharing the fate of those whose ashes fill this urn.
Once per battle, the bearer can use this artefact as a bonus action. When they do so, roll one dice for each enemy fighter that has been taken down. For each roll of 5+, add one wild dice to your saved wild dice.
Ashes of Sorrow
Grief is a luxury the foes of the Pyregeists can ill afford. Those who let their emotions rule them are swept away in firestorms that leave their sorrow to be trapped in this urn and unleashed on their allies.
Once per battle, the bearer can use this artefact as a bonus action. When they do so, pick one visible enemy fighter within 8" and allocate D6 points of damage to that fighter.
Ashes of Spite
Least fortunate of all the victims of the Pyregeists are those lost to spite while still alive. The Pyregeists are drawn to these kindred spirits, and carefully collect their remains to ensure their torment is eternal.
When damage points are allocated to the bearer by an enemy fighter’s reaction, allocate the same number of damage points to that enemy fighter.
