This disaster was something no Dwarf could bear, and no self-respecting Dwarf captain would wish to survive. Long Drong knew his career as a Dwarf trader was over. He resolved to become a Slayer on the seven seas and to seek a heroic end worthy of a saga. His crew, who were just as shamed by the loss of the cargo as their captain, followed his example and swore upon their ancestors to lead a life of roving Sea Slayers until a worthy death ended their shame and redeemed them in legend.

Having thus sworn, Long Drong, now known as Long Drong Slayer, trekked inland to his destiny, which was to become the most notorious pirate ever to lurk on Sartosa. His first act was to storm the stronghold of the dreaded pirate Capitano Sisicco and capture his ship and treasure stash. With the latter, Long Drong hired Dwarf craftsmen to rebuild the flimsy vessel into something a Dwarf could proud of, not sparing the iron! He also hired Dwarf smiths to forge cannons for the vessel, which Long Drong named the Fair Fregar after a famous Dwarf maiden of Barak Varr, rumoured to be very beautiful. The crew carved a figurehead representing her. Unfortunately, neither Long Drong nor any of his crew had ever seen a real life Dwarf maiden, so they had to rely on their imagination and hearsay. The result, parts of which were shod in brass, made an awesome ram on the prow of the ship!

The prisoners, now chained in Long Drong's dungeons, freed in return for telling him all they knew about buried treasure and handing over any maps they had. Long Drong learned that the key to success was often the possession of a pay chest full of gold with which to hire a mercenary army and hold chest it together under your command. Many such pay chests had been lost in battles and there were mercenary generals willing to pay handsomely for their return, even double the value of any thing in the chest, or a great fortune for the empty chest alone. This is because recovery of a lost pay chest is a matter of pride among mercenary generals, who regard such chests in the same way as other races do their army standards!

So Long Drong let it be known that, being a seafaring Dwarf, he could seek out and rescue a lost pay chest wherever it may be in the known world and return it to its rightful owner. All he asked as to keep any treasure that he might find in it, plus a reword in gold equal to as much as the chest would hold! By the standards of mercenary generals tis was but a small price to pay for the restoration of honour and respect, and soon offers to hire his services came flowing in by swift messengers.

Thus the Fair Fregar voyaged to many distant lands; Araby, Lustria, Albion, and many uncharted islands and brought back various pay chests, which may or may not have been genuine. In doing so Long Drong raided the treasure hoards of many notorious pirates and corsairs and made countless enemies determined to get their revenge on him. A price was on his head; everyone sought to accomplish his doom. What more could a seafaring Slayer ask for! His only friends turned out to be those mercenary generals for whom he had restored honour, and these soon began to hire Long Drong and his pirates crew to fight as a regiment in their armies. Their task, needless to say, was to seek out and capture the enemy pay chest on the battlefield. Only reckless Dwarf Sea Slayers, seeking a heroic end would take on or succeed in such a task. As yet Long Drong has still not met his doom!

Motto: Lost Pay Chest recovery our specialty.

Battle-cry: Fifteen Dwarfs and a dead Dwarf's chest, yo ho ho and a flagon of ale...

Magic: If the Fair Fregar is targeted by an enemy spell, the player may use the dwarf resistance to magic instead of normal dispelling. (6+ to dispel).

Movement: As part of the modifications, the oar deck was removed, a steam engine installed, as well as a second mast. The Fair Fregar can move under steam power or sail. Steam power uses the normal dwarf movement (6" forward, 3" backwards, 90 degree turning on the spot uses up half the move). Sail uses normal MOW rules (6" normally, 8" with wind behind).

Ramming: The Fair Fregar figurehead is an awesome ram. Must move at least 3" forward under steam in straight line. If contact is made, must make one random low area save (normal damage if failed) and one bellow the waterline save.

If the bellow the waterline save fails, roll a dice.

1-2 1 point of below the waterline damage.

3-4 2 points of below the waterline damage.

5-6 3 points of below the waterline damage.

Weapons: 1 cannon firing ahead, 2 cannon broadside.

Crew: Long Drong Slayer (+1 in combat as an admiral) and 2 Sea Slayer counters (+1 for each crew and +1D3 for being slayers).

Engineers: The old Barrel of Ale had Engineers on board when it floundered, and they too followed their captain. Use normal Dwarf Engineers rules. (5+ to repair one location during End Phase.)

For Hire: Any fleet, except Pirates, Chaos, Chaos Dwarfs, Skaven, Elves and Orcs; may hire the Fair Fregar. If several players wish to field the Fair Fregar, roll a die to see who will keep her.

Cost: 150 points, 4 Battle Honours.

Equipment: an Anti Flyer Gatling Cannon may be bought for the Fair Fregar (25 points). No MOW cards, no Master Engineers, no Runes cards, no armor counters (the ship is already customised).

Battles and Scenarios: Whenever Long Drong's Slayer crew take a treasure chest counter, only 1 Battle Honour is awarded for it to the player, as Long Drong takes his share!

If a Pirate fleet fights a battle against a fleet including Long Drong Slayer's ship, the Pirate player earns double Battle Honours for sinking or capturing the Fair Fregar.
