Age 33, Initiate
Blue eyes. Black hair. Height 5'11 '. Weight 155 lb. Huge nose. Born in the sign of the Great Cross and raised on a small farm in Wissenland. Has older 2 siblings, Richter who died in conflict with chaos in the north together with my sister's husband Leif. My widowed sister Greta has now run the farm and the care of our ailing parents. Became a novitiate of Sigmar's cult early in life advocated by the local priest. Later recruited to the feared Order of the Flame. As one of the three major orders, it is not well-known to the general public. It protects the empire from corruption, charged to search and destroy Chaos dark seeds wherever they are. Although most empire citizens have never heard of the order, without its protection, the Empire may have fallen to the Dark Powers centuries ago.

“It was my baby sister Rebekka’s birthday. I remember how she smiled at us, and how happy she was about the new rag doll that Mom had made for her. That same afternoon, the hordes of Chaos swept through Ostland and destroyed our village. My brothers, like the rest of our ragtag militia, were massacred. It was utter carnage on the streets. A team of panicked horses finally ran me over and I was flung to the ground, face down in the mud. When I came to, no one in Schweinhofen was alive anymore, not even my Rebekka. I can still see her, so damn little and helpless, clutching her rag doll as the walls of our burning house collapse around her. She was five years old that day. The worst day.”

Rosendorf.

An offer from the local Toll Keeper.

Pfeifeldorf.

Frau Gertrudt and her missing chicken.

Old man Eysen.

Lucas and Lennhardt von Speier.

The Vampire.

The Reaper’s Bounty.

Father Johannes and Nils.

Lorinoc and the Wood Elves.

JW 50

The town of Gootten.

We came to an agreement to aid the Wood Elves in their endeavour to kill Karl. We were asked to survey the camp. After receiving our report, they said they’d create a diversion and then do the dirty deed on their own. We were asked to control the detained priest of Sigmar and his novice helper in sight of the camp. Before the Elves had time to infiltrate the camp, we were attacked by an Undead hoard. Friedrich could overhear the leader of the attack mentioning that the attack should be called off because his master said it was enough of a diversion. If this implies that it was part of the Elves’ plan is unclear; why would they use forces of evil and why not inform us of their plans? We fought most of the Zombies and Ghouls but were succoured by troops from the camp that had heard the clamour of the raging battle. The two Elves that had been part of the battle escaped as soon as the troops arrived. We were “persuaded” to join the troops in their return to the camp.

Father Helmut and Karl.

Lord Eisenbach.

Vanderpeer.

Captain Krieger.

The grisly remains of a mutated sheep in the woods.

Friedrich overhears a secret meeting between our pursuer and the butcher (a spellcaster, “report to the master”).

Captain Krieger and his thirty guards are being set up and killed, presumably by Vanderpeer.

The Crusade reaches Altdorf, but the authorities there refuse us to enter the city.

Vanderpeer takes Karl with him and slips into Altdorf unseen.

Vanderpeer and his men (disguised as witch hunters) torture and murder Ansel Vorman, the vigilante known as the Vengeance of Sigmar.

Evidence in one of Vorman’s journals points to Ruhrhoff, a small village in Hochland about 350 miles northeast of Altdorf.

The Necklace of Unfailing Loyalty.

While making preparations to travel to Ruhrhoff on a river barge, we are suddenly being attacked by witch hunters.

“Tobias” = Vanderpeer?

“Ruprecht” = Ruprecht Hahn, the cult’s leader.

We discover that the village of Ruhrhoff has been razed to the ground and does not exist anymore. Uli Ghetz, the store owner in nearby Kietchdorf, gives us directions to Villa Hahn, an abandoned and allegedly haunted manor near Wolfenburg in Ostland.

Villa Hahn. A Beast of Nurgle and its daughter, a young burglar, the ghost of Ruprecht’s mother (“Kill the killer!”), and a hideous mutant lurking in the wine cellar (Ruprecht’s father?).

We search the manor. The taint of Chaos is apparent in every room. We find three journals, two by Ruprecht Hahn and one by his brother Erich. According to the journals, Ruprecht’s secret temple is hidden somewhere within the hedge maze on the grounds outside.

Showdown at Hahn’s underground temple. Unexpected guests. During the ensuing fight, the ritual is disrupted and Vanderpeer is killed. Hahn flees and takes Karl with him.

Hahn sets sail for Talabheim. We follow him downriver in a stolen river boat.

Talabheim, the Eye of the Forest. Magistrate Hohenlohe. We escort refugees to repopulate the village of Breitblatt. A grisly murder.

Kurt, and later Ragnar as well, begins to show noticeable signs of illness.

Flagellants, “the Bringers of the Light”, are running amok in the streets.

Janko and the giant rats.

The temple of Shallya: “We’re out of options and we need your help!”

The murdered body of the herbalist Gotthard Widenhoft:
A peculiar-looking dagger.
A book (“The Plague and the Principality”). The Pale Shivers.
“In the water it was, but why? Only tempor…”
A bowl of water. A wooden box with silvery powder (“river extract”). A glass tube of bluish liquid.
“Here is the sample of which we spoke. Tell no one, Widenhoft. Work with all speed. Taal preserve us. R. Nierhaus.”
“Talabec, one bell after dawn.”
“Not an inoculant, an antidote.”

Captain Rudolph Nierhaus, commander of the High Watch garrison: “Seek out the apothecary Daubler!”

Eladio the Estalian. The Dragon’s Tongue. Three Skaven Plague Monks.

The Three Apples Inn. Kurt’s condition is getting worse. At the demand of Wanda the landlady, he gets to stay in his room while the others go out to find the apothecary.

Ulthvas Daubler. Rusty Remedies.

We all receive one dose of Daubler’s antidote. Kurt and Ragnar quickly recover.

While collecting the remains of deceased townspeople, we are told that the number of dead bodies seems to be lesser than it should be, as if someone has taken them away already.

Hundreds of plague-ridden Skaven attack the city at night. During the carnage, Kurt rescues a frightened young girl who is clutching a doll in the street outside.

Karl Helmsman.

The Black Bull Inn.

“Liber Mortis” by Van Heel (a book on necromancy).

Zombies in the park. Paul Van Zolleck, a young boy about fifteen years old, suddenly appears and destroys the undead with his touch (a priest of Mórr?): “This is nothing, the true t[?] will come, run while you can.”

The undead corpses, some of them crafted from stitched-together body parts, are all marked with a “G”. We notice the same signature on a nearby statue (“The Cruel Judge”). The signature belongs to Gugulia Skel, a doctor and a necromancer (“in service of the Steel Eye”).

Christopher Baumer.

“Skel is a pawn of the Skaven”
“Azur[?] Steel Eye”
“Nellrich the Repu[?]”

A second, and more powerful, faction of Skaven attacks the city, emerging en masse from the tunnels below.

The battle at Sigmar’s Temple. Rat ogres, gunpowder weapons and poison globes. We are cut down, defeated to the last man by an endless stream of Chaos filth. We wake up later, stunned and surprised to be alive after the previous horrors. In the great hall below, still wielding his hammer, poor Ragnar lies dead on the floor.

Father Günther. Each one of us receives a lucky charm.

Kurt, heartbroken and severely wounded from a crippling blow to his head, staggers as he carries Ragnar’s dead body, solemnly putting his old friend to rest in the empty seat of Sigmar’s mighty throne.

Motherfuckers. They will pay.

The destruction of the Obelisk of Laws. Countess Elise: “I hear and obey, Master.“

Azurath, a powerful Grey Seer, has set up his headquarters in the Law District.

Gugulia Skel now lives in the Countess’ home.

Nellrich and his Skaven have all been locked up in the Tallows. Perhaps Nellrich can be persuaded to join us against Azurath?

The garrison at Myrmidia’s Temple is under siege. Colonel Manuel Batista: “Go to Dankerood for help. Get information about their plans there, and what we should do.“

The Dwarves in Stonehome, a location within the Law District, are still resisting as well.

Dragon’s Home has been sealed off and barricaded by the Skaven. The ratmen are building something on the inside.

On our way to Dankerood, outside a small village, we encounter an old man and two young children. The man’s body is covered in unnatural boils, and the children walk towards us with knives in their hands. The Mark of Chaos is clearly upon them. We leave and do not enter the village.

General Jörg Haffner, commander in Dankerood:
“What is your plan? What du you need, and what can I get you?“
“There is gunpowder in the quarry.”
“I will bring you a demolitions expert.“
“Seek out De Boer, a reclusive magician living in Taalgarten, and ask him to make poison.“

In Vatereshe, a village just north of Dankerood, we are joined by four local volunteers (Günther, Mark, Peter, and Darla). We also receive four bottles of moonshine each.

Going back to Talabheim, we place the remains of Christopher Baumer in a nearby graveyard dedicated to Mórr.

We reach Taalgarten and the Conservation of Roses, a building hidden behind a magic hedge. De Boer: “Yes, I can arrange that. Come back in a few days, the poison will be ready then.“

De Boer: “Go away fool, I am not done yet!“

Gugulia Skel keeps to herself in the Countess’ home. According to our Skaven prisoner, there are no ratmen there. They seem to be afraid of her.

Somewhere between Nordgate and the Old Market we confront Sparker, Azurath’s second-in-command, in a bloody fight. Sparker manages to escape. Later, while we are back in Vatereshe, he sends an assassin to kill us in our sleep. The murder attempt fails, but Sparker obviously knows who and where we are.

Joe Steele, about the recently burned village of Irstadt:
“Once my cousin discovered gutted cows lying about there, and there was this strange glow.“ Did the Skaven attack the village to get warpstone?

The four spies:
“Karsta Sheidt, a baker held as a slave labourer in the Old Market by the Skaven.“ Perhaps she can distribute the poison manufactured by De Boer? But how do we contact her?
“The Skaven are building giant catapults.“ We are not sure about their reason, but perhaps it is for attacking the Imperial Army, rumoured to be advancing towards Talabheim? Or for taking out the defenders of Myrmidia’s Temple and Stonehome?

Grunni, a Dwarven demolitions expert, is sent to us by Haffner in Dankerood. We have fifteen kegs of gunpowder, plus the ones Grunni brought himself.
