WFRP2 The Outing
Every spring once the frost has thawed the people of Leicheberg gather in town square to proclaim which of their children are ready to go on their Outing, a rite of passage exclusive to this community in which children deemed responsible and wise enough are allowed to venture out into the world. The idea is to gain some experience in the outside world and return home for a life of hard work and service to the community.
In most cases, living in such a tight community for their lives, these children return home quite quickly. Most return within a week and don't even leave Stirland or go past Mootland. But occasionally a group of young ones takes months, perhaps even years, to return - and when they do they come back telling tales of monsters and horrors lurking in the wilds. Some even return with friends who they have brainwashed into joining their community. Some never return.

Loot & Treasure[edit]
Stuff that hasn't been claimed by any particular character, everything is assumed to be stowed securely on the wagon:
- Map of the Empire - a gift from the mayor of Leicheberg before you left town. If you are having trouble locating Leicheberg, look for STIRLAND in orange writing on the right side of the map, Leicheberg is just to the right of the D. Map is shown in the section below, the original file wasn't rendering properly in some browsers so I've uploaded it to the wiki here in full size.
- Wineskin of Dwarven Fire Ale - gift from councilman Grun'Thark which is "guaranteed to keep ye warm on the coldest of nights. And also good for shuttin' up certain talky folk"
- Large Iron Pot - a gift from councilman Palefoot before you left town. It's very heavy, at least 30lbs of iron. As per Palefoot, when you are out in the wilds and need to eat just fill it with water, herbs, and vegetables that you find about, heat it up for a bit and you'll have enough stew to feed the whole group of you and then some (when filled it makes enough stew to feed 6 people)
- Healing Draught - a gift from councilwoman Jane before you left town. It is a single use potion which will heal 4W of damage
- Letter to the Church of Sigmar - a gift from councilwoman Alana before you left town. It is sealed with wax and is addressed to High Priest Alex Winterbright in Altdorf. You probably shouldn't read it before delivery...I mean, it's sealed and has somebody's name on it. You really shouldn't be reading mail that isn't addressed to you right?
- Covered Wagon - large enough to have four adults comfortably in the back and two riding up front, in addition to carrying cargo. There are two draft horses pulling it.
- Tents - four tents, each can fit one adult comfortably or two in they are really cuddled up
- Horse Feed - there is a container with enough horse feed for 14 days for each horse
- Food - there is 14 days worth of average quality food for each of you (i.e. rolls of cheese, bread, and dehydrated meat)
- Rations - there is 14 days worth of rations for each of you
- Wooden Tankards - there are 8 tankards full of fresh, clean water
Map of the Empire[edit]
Note - I also posted a world map and some general setting information about the different countries and there was also some info posted by the other players here (couple posts down the page): http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?765519-Warhammer-Fantasy-Roleplay-2-The-Outing/page4

Custom Rules[edit]
GM (kritch) rolls all dice
We will be using the following books:
- Core Rulebook
- Realms of Sorcery
- WFRP Companion
- Career Compendium
- Old World Armoury
You do not need to roll for your starting career if there is a specific one you want to take (there are a ton of new basic careers in the Career Compendium too). If you don't know what to play just roll like usual. That being said, your starting career should be realistic for a small community. There's a few that really just don't fit (i.e. Pit Fighter really won't work here). If anybody starts out with the Apprentice Wizard career they are not officially recognized by the College of Magic. You will need to make the trek to the College to petition to officially join and move onto Journeyman Wizard. Until that time you risk being pursued by a Witch Hunter
We'll be following the Arcane Lore rules from the Realms of Sorcery book, not the main rulebook. So if anybody gets to the point of taking Arcane Lore we'll tackle it then.
If anybody wants to be a trader we will use the trade route rules from the Companion book.
Everybody in the starting group will be young, in the range of 12-18 years old for a human (18 would be considered very old to be going on their Outing). We'll have to figure out appropriate ages for the other races
