Zone de Nidification des Thératryx

Geography

The first area where the terrain differs is an open pit of high golden grasses. It is immediately evident that the area has residents. Wild theratryx nest here. Clutches of eggs peek out of pebbled mounds at the centre and around the circumference of the uneven ring. The bright, scaly shoulders and heads of the parents are visible as they prowl through the grass. The path branches to the east and west on the other side of the nesting ground. If the Battle-Brothers attempt to go undetected by the theratryx, it requires a Challenging (+0) Silent Move Test. (Assume the Test is made when the characters are midway through the field, closest to the greatest concentration of theratryx and therefore most likely to be detected.) The Test becomes Ordinary (+10) if they reduce their profile by crossing the field one at a time. However, this leaves anyone caught by the protective animals further from the support of his squad. The diameter of the crossing is roughly 100 metres. If anyone is detected or the Battle-Brothers choose to fight their way through, the theratryx form a Horde of Magnitude 30. (Use their profile on page 50 to form a Horde.)
