Thanks Mortis. Lots of good stuff there, I will try to convert some of it for my new sewer board.

Now we have played Mortis' Quest, I see a great future for this board in our little group! An ideas on quests with skaven would be appreciated. I looked at those in AHQ, but really not impressed.
Skaven Adventure ideas eh?
First of all I'd urge you to re-consider the AHQ Quests. The over all plot of The Shattered Amulet is a good one with a nice twist at the end, it just needs a little work to make it more interesting. My suggestions are as follows -
+ Break down each adventure from it's Quest Location map and re-map it onto a large more interesting layout, keeping the content of the Key Rooms the same and filling the rest of that map out with Normal and Hazard Rooms
+ Add some special monsters and mix in a few non-skaven creatures to keep it interesting
+ Replace Praznagar with a Vermin Lord for a more dangerous looking final boss

as for new Skaven based adventure ideas ...
+ Reclaim an abandoned Dwarf mine that has been overrun by Skaven (consider doing a Temple of Doom style mine-cart chase with Skaven chasing your heroes!)
+ A newly discovered network of tunnels and sewers attracts the attention of your heroes when a local baron asks them to explore and map the catacombs below the town. The tunnels are of course swarming with Skaven and other nasties!
+ Your Heroes must fight for their lives after a Skaven Sorcerer teleported them into the heart of an ancient dungeon.
+ A local priest of sigma needs some one to retrieve an ancient scroll from the sewers.
+ Dwarfs have discovered that a Skaven warlock engineer is building a new kind of warpstone powered weapon. A small band of tunnel fighters (that's your Heroes) has been sent to destroy the warlock engineer’s layer before the device can be completed.
+ The villagers have finally driven the last of the Skaven from their lands. But a terrible pox has broken out among the women and children, could this be the work of Clan pestilens?
+ A Dwarf King has brought your Heroes to his throne room to talk to have you tell of your adventures, as its always an interesting story or two. While they are describing their heroic deeds, Skaven attack from the tunnels!! The Heroes must defeat the Skaven, and escort the King out of the dungeon safely, leaving through a secret passage he knows of. If the Heroes get the King out to safety, the King will reward them greatly!
+ Your Heroes have been infected with a horrid disease that affects them in various ways, the Skaven of Clan Pestilens are to blame! The only cure for this plague is to visit the Shrine of Healing, a place of pilgrimage and great power. Unfortunately, the Skaven know about the shrine too and have filled the dungeon leading up to with traps and monsters!
