A Warhammer Quest audio drama.
Of all the horrors that lurk inside the Blackstone Fortress, perhaps the most feared is the dreaded ambull. Rogue Trader Janus Draik embarks on a hunt for this monstrous beast - but he is not the only one seeking it....
Listen to it because:
If you want to know what an ambull sounds like, this is the story for you - the perfect background to your own adventures in the Blackstone Fortress....
The story:
Of the countless monstrosities inhabiting the Blackstone Fortress, none wreak such destruction as the dreaded ambull. Capable of rending a human in two with a swipe of its claws, hunting this apex predator is a suicidal task. Naturally, this leaves only one man for the job: Rogue Trader Janus Draik, gentlemen, scholar, scoundrel and duellist par excellence. Accompanied by the kroot tracker Dahyak Grekh, Draik must venture into the labyrinth for his most dangerous mission yet. But, in the depths, he is not the only one seeking the ambull, and while Draik aims to kill it, some foolishly pursue the beast inside for their own ends.
Written by Darius Hinks. Performed by Tom Alexander, Sean Connolly, Paul Panting and Fiona Skinner.

- The voice actors do an amazing job at portraying the flamboyant and aristocratic descendent of a rogue trader dynasty and his alien mercenary as they banter on their way to hunt a dangerous quarry. The dialogue is great.
- The story feels like a play-by-play of the events of the boardgame that this novel is meant to advertise. I expected it to be more action heavy but the cheeky writer snuck in some intrigue and worldbuilding in there. Which is a great thing!
- Some of the inner workings of the Blackstone Fortress are sort of explained and yet remain mysterious since the explanations of its nature come from unreliable sources. There is some logic to the setting but just as the characters are confused, so will you be. The writer gives us enough information to make sense of the place but not too much as to completely demystify it, which would have been a crime as the setting is meant to be inscrutable and weird.
- This is tale of hunting, betrayal and the folly of not knowing one's limitations.
The symbolism of a man hunting a beast that he is ill equipped to deal with is allegory for the struggle of man against nature. The hunter puts his faith in technology and underestimates the natural abilities of his quarry and decries the savage nature of his personal bodyguard. According to the man this beast cannot be taimed, and in his ill understanding for it he seeks to kill it. This is known to the alien who is every bit the archetypal "noble savage" and more in touch with nature. It understands that pursuing the animal will only lead to pain and suffering but uses its natural tallents to assist the hunter in surviving the perils of the place they find themselves in. The third supporting protagonist represents the baser nature of mankind, seeking to profit one's self in whatever the cost. Their battle is ideological as well as physical. But enough with the analysis, you didn't come here to read an essay. Buy this audiodrama! It's worth it.

The story is a flop with a flat cliffhanger and full of monologue for whatever reason. If a saving grace could be found, it would be the kroot, and even then, it’s likely just because he alone doesn’t get a soliloquy.
