Thank you, I spent a good while thinking up all the ways to tip the battle in my favor while still being honorable.
You also have to account for the fact that Vlad doesn't know how to use a cannon all that well so that will probably add a BS penalty.
Not my fault your behind in the times.
Nah, you've both got a five for BS. More, this is something that, if I were in Tyrell's position, I would certainly penalise you for having not the faintest idea what you're doing.
There is a great deal of skill in knowing how to accurately lay and fire a cannon. Why, people go to universities for it! Don't be salty just because it doesn't match up to your idea of skill
IIRC he still takes a penalty thanks to Mortarch of Shadow, depending on the range of Beguiling Gaze that might come into play, and I'm definitely more resilient than him.Nah, you've both got a five for BS.

Hey fair odds of killing you is a pretty good deal, plus you still aren't accounting for the fact that the duel will take place at high noon.
Yeah, except Beguile only applies in close combat, and you aren't the Mortarch of Shadow yet, because we're at least a couple of decades before Nagash wakes up.
Which is what I was kinda hoping for, but NOOOOO.
Remember no magic items, so no ring. Also don't even try to take my body.
Are you quite done piling conditions on, or are you more of a coward than I expected?
Those weren't any extra conditions and everything I said was completely within my right as the challenged. But yes I am done.
The Ring is not what allows Vlad to resurrect. Being a vampire allows him to resurrect. Vampires can't be truly killed, only rendered into a dormant state, from which they are very difficult to revive. That's what the Black Coaches are for; each one carries the remains of a slain vampire, soaking up the deathly energies of battlefields in order to eventually resurrect their passenger.
Oh alright, still having Vlad out of the picture for a long time will be very useful.
Well, strictly speaking he shouldn't even be alive now, because the Empire is entirely aware of this fact, and after Vlad's death at Altdorf, his remains were interred beneath the Grand Cathedral of Sigmar so they couldn't be revived. That's why canon has Mannfred in charge these days. But hey, if Theravis wants Vlad, let him have Vlad. He's the best of the bunch, after all.
I dunno when this is set, but my setup if it was post War of Vampires involved busting the remains out via tunnel.
Pretty much. Vlad's still a monster; he still picked peasants off the street for him and his brood to feast on, he still allowed the dead to pile up along the roads to swell his armies, he still made war on the Empire out of cruel ambition, and he still presided over bestial orgies where his vampiric subjects tore people apart. Vlad is still cruel and monstrous, he simply hides it better.
I think it's a duel to the death.
A cannon hit on the tabletop is Strength 10 (so it wounds on 2+) and inflicts D6 wounds instead of 1. It is entirely enough to kill Vlad in one shot.
GM's drunk.
