‘I don’t believe in evil, I believe only in horror. In nature there is no evil, only an abundance of horror.’

This campaign is set in a small part of the Lustrian coastline. It is nicknamed the romril Coast and co!ers a stretch

of a"out four hundred miles. It is not #outh $merica% not Central $merica% not $frica. The characters% politics%situations% and e!ents are related only to &arhammer and not to any historical !iewpoint "ecause this is% in fact%

fantasy.

Background

The 'mpire is "eginning an acti!e campaign to try to immigrate people to their Lustrian colonies. Bretonnian forces

are already starting to swell there and Tilea is "eginning a similar programme of colonisation. Rather than risk

losing their footholds in that land% they want to "olster the population and e(pand )uickly or else risk "ecomingoutnum"ered. It is going to cost the 'mpire a significant sum% "ut sending massi!e shipments of troops to take "ack

colonies pillaged "y foreign powers will cost e!en more.

There are many types of people they are after% such as those with com"at a"ility and a fierce independentstreak. This makes ad!enturers ideal candidates% and such people will help form an inherent protection force "ecause

if the settlements are threatened% they will need to assist else "e stranded in the land with no resources% and also%

such types tend to find some way% no matter how nefarious% to support themsel!es in the meantime. The 'mpire is

also seeking farmers% prospectors% herdsmen% and miners to produce the raw materials and to help make the colonies

self sufficient as well as ha!e e(cess material shipped "ack to the 'mpire.

To this end% they ha!e paid a large num"er of agitators and demagogues to wander and talk of all the

astonishing opportunities that await those who accept this offer of relocation and a new "eginning.

*ther +ooks

This series of scenarios is also useful if the ad!enturers ha!e committed one crime too many. If wanted posters are

a"out to start going up% or their faces are getting a little too associated with dire occurrences% then they may find it

prudent to get out of town for a couple of years. 'ncounters such as ,+ooray -or +enry and e!ents at the alternati!eend of ,ower Behind The Throne in the 'nemy &ithin Campaign may also ha!e e(ceeded the characters tolerance

for ensconced no"ility% and the freedom of the wild wild west may appeal to them.*f course% they dont have to go% they can stay in their present location if they wish.

Part 1: The Basic Pitch

The 'mpire is going to pro!ide cheap transport for those seeking to go to Lustria. The only draw"ack to relocating

to the romril Coast is the danger of pirates% 0orseman% and 'l!es. 0ow that theres going to "e a fleet with lots of

protection% this is the ideal time to go.

The a"o!e data is supplemented with whate!er of the following looks rele!ant.

1/ There are ancient cities made of pure gold and theyre 2ust deserted. $ny fool who can wander in can help

themsel!es to all they can carry.

3/ The land of the romril Coast is so fertile that you can throw seeds down and a season later ha!e a forest of

crops. Theres thousands of s)uare miles% all unclaimed. Build a ca"in% fence off what you want% and its all yours.

0o more ta(es% no more no"les% nothing "ut peace and prosperity.

4/ #tart a "usiness% start a farm% start a mine% theres sla!es to handle e!erything% all you ha!e to do is tell them what

to do and sit "ack and watch the gold roll in. The nati!es think were gods or something and they happily ser!e.

5/ 0ati!e "eauties throw themsel!es at you the moment you land. $lso% if you want to show a little patience% in the

2ungle theres these ama6ons. They dont ha!e any men of their own and you can ha!e a whole harem of gorgeous

wenches% after all% polygamy is only illegal in the 'mpire% right7 8wink wink9.

:/ There are "eaches where all you ha!e to do is scoop your hand into the sand and find yourself laden withdiamonds. Thats why theres all those tall tales a"out canni"als% giant li6ards% and other nonsense% people dont

want anyone figuring out 2ust how much wealth is o!er there for the taking.

;/ The only threat I!e heard a"out are these tiny primiti!es with clu"s called ygmies. +ere in the 'mpire we ha!e

Beastmen% mutants% *rcs% *gres% Trolls% highwaymen. *!er there they ha!e tiny "rain<dead midgets with wooden

sticks. $nd the "est part% they e!en gi!e you ten whole crowns for one of their scalps. I swear% the money falls from

the sky there more a"undantly that snow in =isle!.

>/ The +igh 'l!es are a great source of profit% theyll pay thousands of crowns for some stupid plant that takes a"out

a day to retrie!e from in the 2ungles. They are too ,ci!ilised to get their hands dirty and will pay e(traordinary

amounts to ensure they dont ha!e to.

?/ Its a land for ad!enturers. +ere% e!eryone looks down on those with the heart for danger and the thirst for gold.

The &atch% the no"les% the military% they all tell you what you can and cant do. 0othing like that on the romril

Coast. 0o rules% no conse)uences% no ha!ing to keep your head down and sneak a"out. #trut around with sword in

hand% "old as "rass% and dont take any nightsoil from anyone.

Handout 1 can "e seen all o!er the place and town criers declare the same information on a regular "asis.

Typical Retorts

Why The Name? Like romril its hard to find. Like romril its fa"ulously !alua"le. Like romril% its not to "e

searched for or worked on "y the faint of heart and weak of lim". $nd like romril% there are mysteries and powers

locked within it that would make any man rich "eyond his dreams if they unearthed them.

'n)uiries amongst actual sailors who are not ignoring the ill aspects of the place will disco!er that the name

was largely gained "ecause the coast is hard% unforgi!ing% and will not yield its !alua"les easily or )uickly. $lso%like the Awar!es who work it% its deadly% surly% mysterious% defies logic% and is "est not trifled with.

Dar !lves The !ile 'l!es of 0aggaroth need the cold% thats why they li!e way up in the north. They ne!er comesouth "ecause the heat is fatal to them.

Norseman The !illages of 0orseman are actually )uite friendly. '!eryone needs to rely on each other out there to

get "y and theyre all a long way from any country who can support them. Theyre good fighters "ut are worse

cattlemen and e!en worse farmers. Trading food for protection and arms% its a perfect deal and they wont spoil itwith pointless raiding.

"annibals The pygmies eat each other all the time and thats the source of the rumour. #o% unless youre one foot

high% "lack skinned% dum" as a post% and running around naked with a clu"% you neednt worry a"out "eing on the

menu.

Disease The *ld &orld is full of people and full of cities all pressed in against each other. The romril Coast is

fresh% clean% with lots of space. The only diseases youll get there are the sickness from realising you should ha!emade the mo!e years ago.

Why #ren’t $ou There No% Then?

1/ The 'mpires paying me well to come "ack and tell e!erything of what I saw. That way others might head o!er

there and Ill take my pay and rush "ack. et myself8one of the a"o!e reasons9.

3/ I!e met those people% talked with them% its all true. $s soon as I!e finished my 2o" of spreading the news Im

gra""ing my pay and getting o!er there. ight see you on the "oat.

The troops at any entrance to $ltdorf% 0uln% iddenheim% and Tala"heim can direct them to one of the recruitmentoffices where there is always a large interested crowd "u66ing with the data already handed out along with suita"le

e(aggerations and distortions.

Part 2: The Deal

There are many cheap places on a fleet heading for ort +eldenhammer. It costs 1DD C for a place% and there is a

discount for those the 'mpire needs in that location% this co!ers warriors 81DE to >:E depending on apparent

strength and skill9% farmers 8:DE9% and academics 81DE to :DE with wi6ards and clerics gaining the most discount9.Those with sailing skills can easily find a place on a ship and will gain a purse of 1DDC when they reach ort

+eldenhammer% this is to encourage them to stay and use the money to settle there rather than head "ack to the

'mpire.

The party are assigned "unks on a !essel called ,the Intrepid to "e captained "y +artwig +ockmann. $ num"er of

ri!er "arges stand ready to take people and supplies to the fleet now massing at arien"urg. The "arges all

congregate there o!er the period of a couple of weeks. -or those in the City #tates% regular large con!oys of carts

and wagons head to arien"urg under hea!y military protection.

*nce they are underway% there is to "e one stop in Lothern to restock and then on to ort +eldenhammer.

"a&tain Hocmann $ tall and slender man with wild red hair. +e has numerous tri"al tattoos gained from the

!arious trips he has made to Lustria. +e is well known as a competent captain and has tra!elled the routes to the

southlands often. It is rumoured that the 'mpire is going to offer him a na!al command for his participation in this

!enture. This is something he is said to cra!e since Aark 'lf rea!ers sank the !essel he purchased with years of

profit. It was captained "y his long<term friend and trusted ate who was either killed or captured. +ockmann

dislikes 'l!es in general "ecause of this% "ut sa!es his primary rancour for those of 0aggaroth. $n 'lf who

distinguishes himself defending the ship will earn his respect.

$ny decent defence of the Intrepid will earn a seat at the captains ta"le. The meal is "ig% "etter )uality% andthe toast is always to ,the "loody slaughter of e!ery single Aark 'lf that soils the world with their e!ery stinking !ile

"reath.

Part 3: The Imperial Fleet

$ou are a&&roachin' (arienbur', the 'reatest &ort in the )ld World. !veryone’s eyes fi* for%ard to %itness this

marvellous s&ectacle.

The +ei is over a mile %ide as you continue to%ard the city. The rocy islands that dot the e*&anse are laden%ith the reno%ned fortress mansions of the aristocracy of merchants and adventurers %ho have settled here. ine

brid'es criss-cross this mae of slim %ater%ays, linin' all the islands lie a %eb. /mall boats &ass do%n the &aths

much in the same %as as &edestrians %ould in a land loced city.

# lar'e channel allo%s you to see the ocean stretchin' out over the horion lie a dee& blue &lain. 0essels

dot the sea and fill the hu'e bustlin' harbour adacent to the channel.

The se&arated south of the city is lined by one of the most admired si'hts in the )ld World. The Hi'h 2rid'e

has t%o to%ers lancin' u&%ard into the sy. +oads %ind u& around the massive s&ires and access the lofty stone

brid'e that stretches across the %aters. "arts and %a'ons are tiny u&on this s&ectacularly immense construction.

The hu'e tem&le of (anaan rises above the affluent citysca&e. The decorations are some of the most

im&ressive e*am&les you have seen of human stone masonry and %oodcraft.The slee and ornate shi&s of the !lves mar their o%n 3uarter %here no human face is visible. +uled

e*clusively and &rivately by their o%n, they have constructed their d%ellin's to suit their tastes. !le'ant buildin's of 'reat subtlety and beauty re&lace the 'audy attention 'rabbin' d%ellin's that &redominate throu'h the rest of the

city.

#t one of the lar'er docs is 'athered a si'nificant fleet. T%elve massive shi&s are tain' on su&&lies.

4assen'ers of every descri&tion are marchin' onto most of them but t%o of them are havin' an e*clusive and steady

stream of cattle, shee&, and fo%l herded and carried on board %hile another is bein' laden %ith seed and 'rain. In

the %aters by the docs are si* Im&erial %arshi&s. +ans of cannon ut from their side and armoured forms standalert and ready u&on the decs.

There are two ,$rk !essels that are loaded up with cattle% sheep% and fowl to "olster the supplies and negate the

need to rely on the often unruly and aggressi!e indigenous animal life. There is a !essel with many sacks of seed to

"e sold at a discount rate to the farmers arri!ing in the port and assist in getting fields of crops going and making the

colony more self sufficient.

There are si( Imperial warships to pro!ide escort and make sure the fleet arri!es safely and there are nine

large !essels to carry those who are going to Lustria.The party and can stow their gear in the main hold that is kept under constant guard to pre!ent pilfering. The

numerous ca"ins are large and all ha!e ten closely spaced hammocks in them to pro!ide effecti!e if crampedaccommodation.

The ad!enturers can now pass the time in the great port of arien"urg while waiting for the day they set sail.

Because of all the added population% there are numerous distractions to occupy them. any sideshows and other

attractions ha!e appeared to pander to those who are a"out to lea!e the lands of the *ld &orld. Charlatans sell

mystic wards against Lustrian curses and $ma6on "eguilement% there are lucky charms to ward against storm% shark%

and pirate. *thers sell remedies for Lustrian fe!er% Fungle #hakes% and so on. There are antidotes to ygmy poison

and snake !enom. There are fake maps to treasure% to lost cities% and of the area itself. Basically% e!eryone is trying

to wring a last few crowns out of starry<eyed colonists.There is also plenty of interaction to "e had with their fellow colonists and e(amples of who is present are

listed later.

Part 4: The Day Of Departure

The lu*urious river vessel, the !m&eror (a'nus cruises into &ort and a small &rocession surrounded by 5ni'hts

4anther march u& onto the Hi'h 2rid'e. The bells u&on the &assen'er shi&s rin' out alon' %ith hollers to 'ather

the colonists and ready for de&arture. The sailors clamber into the ri''in' to ready the sails and all eyes turnu&%ard as the !m&eror a&&ears and 'ives a s&eech.

‘2rave souls of the !m&ire. $our homeland has 'ifted you %ith a 'reat o&&ortunity, and %ith our blessin',

&rotection, and fundin', you embar on a 3uest to fulfil your dreams. $our desires are myriad but your 'oal is the

same, to stand to'ether a'ainst those %ho %ould see you falter and &ros&er in the lands far from our o%n. The

6romril "oast is yours. Tae it for your o%n, mae it your o%n, and thrive there so that the %hole !m&ire %ill 'ive

a%e to your &ioneerin' achievements.’

Cheers and applause follow and the fleet start to head out to sea. $t this same time% ort +eldenhammer promises

gold and weapons to a num"er of pirates who "ecome semi<legali6ed "uccaneers for the 'mpire 8see The CrimsonCutlass9. They immediately set sail to attack and plunder the settlements and shipping of other nations and there"y

draw their forces into protection rather than mounting any attacks on the fleet. This is a precautionary measure to

ensure that all those who ha!e "een recruited make it to ort +eldenhammer and that enemy nations do not strike

the fleet and hamper colonisation.

The 2ourney to the ort a!erages around fi!e and a half to si( months.

Part 5: Fellow Passeners

The party may interact with the other passengers and some of note ha!e "een listed under each !ariety. #ome of

them may "e ideal as replacement player characters should fatalities occur or as additional strength if the party are

facing an ad!enture in which they are likely to find themsel!es o!erwhelmed and outmatched.

1! Troops

$ num"er of Imperial soldiers and mercenaries ha!e !olunteered to lea!e the 'mpire and man the fort at the

headwaters of the ri!er that access ort +eldenhammer. They are generally those with little in the way of ties to the

'mpire and who lack the skill to ad!ance in their chosen career. They are eager to settle into a less stressful and

dangerous en!ironment where all the usual mortal ha6ards are rare. There are a num"er of !eterans who ha!e had

one to many encounters with the greenskins% the #ka!en% Chaos% the undead% and would much rather settle in the sun

and counter the threat posed "y tiny primiti!es and "ipedal frogmen with spears and clu"s. These people ha!enightmare tales of the "attles they ha!e seen and a wistful edge takes their !oice when they talk of what life will "e

like on the romril Coast.

/er'eant Hans Dessau $n $ltdorf +al"erdier who saw action in #yl!ania. The knowledge that such heinous forces

still lurk in that "enighted region prompted him into lea!ing the 'mpire. +is wounds act up in the cold and he wants

to settle in Lustria and perhaps use his pay to retire in the sun and may"e open a small ta!ern that he will call

,Airkens in honour of the fellow soldier who took a skeletons "lade in the chest to sa!e his life.

2! Botanists

$ significant contingent of "otanists ha!e supplies and e)uipment so that they can enter the 2ungles and seek newher"s and plants that they will "ring "ack and study in order to ac)uire new ad!ances in medicine and to find

treatments for all manner of ailments. *thers are present to disco!er new species and to e(plore and catalogue the

!ariety of new flora on offer.

Herman !rrlich $ her"alist with a keen interest in plants. +e has succum"ed to his ad!enturous side and wants to

e(plore the 2ungle and see what strange new species he can unearth. +e is particularly eager to reach the mountain

ranges and see what the tropics ha!e wrought there. +e used to "e a gamekeeper% is a decent shot with his "ow% and

knows how to take care of himself in the wild% and so he has little fear of danger.

3! "#plorers

Those seeking historical ruins for facts on the mystical race known as the #lann% or the $ma6ons% or whate!erstrange races may ha!e "ecome e(tinct deep in the 2ungle prime!al. ost are e(perienced and ha!e a small group of

assistants and scri"es. They will "e seeking relics and places that they will detail and e(plore to make their name and

fortune.

Illya Dobryanov +e is the son of a renowned =isle!ite e(plorer that sailed the world o!er and !isited many landsand strange places. +is father settled in the Border rinces to retire and write his memoirs "efore he died "ut Illya

still feels the call to see the world. +e was touring the 'mpire when the offer came a"out and he sei6ed it. +e has a

good knowledge of the $rcane tongue of the #lann and wants to unearth more of the secrets that his fathers

e(plorations touched upon "ut ne!er fully del!ed into.

4! Treasure hunters

Those seeking places where wealth can "e found and looted. They are competiti!e and reticent on what they know.

#ome may ha!e a secret map or scrap of data that they "elie!e will guide them to riches. They are generally wellarmed and in a group that will make them look little different to standard ad!enturers.

7ouis /mit $ former ra!ero""er who turned to the looting of tom"s. Gnfortunately% the pickings in the 'mpire are

thinning and if he mo!es his operation to the mountains% furious Awar!es and the risk of undead rise dramatically.

The image of crypts deserted for hundreds if not thousands of years with solid gold draped all o!er the "ody ha!e

capti!ated his greed and he is sailing to Lustria with his two assistants/apprentices. +e sees nothing wrong with his

profession. If those who want such anti)uities for study or display want them% then they can pay for them. +e isnt

going to risk his life poking around in the 2ungle "ecause he finds it amusing. '(plorers generally ha!e rich parents

to fund them% he is a common man and isnt that lucky.

:



Louis has "ecome a "it of a danger 2unkie. +e lo!es to gam"le and lo!es a good game of cards that he likes to

call ,his sacrament to fate "ecause he wants to gi!e Lady Luck the chance to "etray him on the ta"le% rather than in

the dark fore"oding depths of some ancient crypt.

+e has 'amble and luc skill% an Int of 4>% a purse of 1DD C spare% and he ne!er cheats.

5! $artoraphers

$ group seeking to map the coast% waterways% and locations of Lustria. They are eager to get their 2o" done and earnthe commission awaiting them upon their return to the 'mpire.

Werner ‘2lit-feder’ 5esselmenn $ respected cartographer from 0uln. +e en2oys his work immensely and is

e(cellent at it% "ut it is still such a dry topic and he wants some decent stories to tell. +e is sick of people capti!ating

the attention of an entire ta!ern with tall tales of e(ploits and strange lands. $ paid stint in Lustria doing what he

does "est and hell "e a"le to wow e!eryone with the real or concocted things he has seen there. +e is tra!elling withtwo other assistant cartographers and has two "odyguards with him. The Gni!ersity of 0uln is paying his way.

%! &issionaries

Representati!es of #igmar% Taal% #olkan% anaan% #hallya% and yrmidia can "e found. They are seeking to

esta"lish a temple and pro!ide spiritual guidance for the colonists "ecause of the la( laws and loose morals of the

new land. #ome may "e intending to tra!el into the 2ungle and seek the people who ha!e yet to hear the word of

their god.

6ustav +u&& $ 4rd le!el Cleric of Taal. +e is open% friendly% and dedicated to his faith. The 'mpire is "ecoming too

ci!ilised and populated for him and he wants to immerse himself in !ast wilderness. $lthough this is his primarymoti!ation% he has notions of "ringing the word of Taal to the tri"es of Lustria "ecause they themsel!es li!e so in

tune with nature already that they would make sterling followers and defenders of the forests and 2ungles.

Hasso 0on /chroder $ Captain in the Reiksguard who succum"ed to terror during a "attle with a Aaemon. +e was

grie!ously wounded as a result% lost his right arm% and left eye. +e deemed his sur!i!al a sign from #igmar% and the

loss of his effecti!e com"at a"ility has prompted him into taking the !ows of a priest to seek redemption and solace.

+e is tra!elling to Lustria to 2oin the temple there% where he will pray and try to tend the spiritual needs of the

'mpires colonists and take the word to the heathens if he can. +e admires strength and still en2oys talking of "attleand "ra!ery.

'! (ettlersThe largest contingent on the !essels% there are families% couples% and indi!iduals that want to start a "usiness% found

a homestead% or esta"lish a farm or ranch in Lustria. They may ha!e lost their lands% had little success% lack the skills

and talents to prosper% or ha!e 2ust had enough of the 'mpire. #ome will ha!e decent funds% others may ha!e

!irtually nothing "ut the clothes on their "ack.

The /teinbocs Rolland% his wife Grsula% daughter arlene% and new"orn "a"y son Lore 8who is always kept

swaddled in cloth9. They are heading to Lustria to start a new life and prosper in fresh lands. Rolland is a skilled

"uilder and farmer and has many talents that will a!ail the family well. +is wife keeps to herself "ut he is always

mar!elling at the sea% taking in the air% socialising% and generally 2ust "eing the friendly and amia"le soul he is at

heart. The real reason they are lea!ing is that Lore is growing e(tra arms at his hips% a tail% and !estigial wings.

arlene almost died gi!ing "irth to him and it is clear that she may ne!er ha!e another child% so this is going to "e

his only son. Rather than lea!e their sons future to mo" mentality and spurious Imperial decrees% they want to settle

in solitude.

)! Translators

#e!eral people with skills in numerous secret and arcane languages are heading to Lustria where they can sell their

skills at deciphering te(ts and con!ersations. If deals are to "e made with other *ld &orlders or new races from the

2ungles% a decent percentage for their ser!ices is not unlikely. There are a couple of men seeking to study new

tongues so that they may return to the 'mpire with this knowledge and use it for profit and renown.

#dolfus 7it #lightly arrogant% he has an uncanny mastery of language that he lo!es to show off. +e speaks all

languages of the *ld &orld% and has mastered =ha6alid% Tar<'ltharin% and -an<'ltharin. +e will en2oy con!ersing in

;



the nati!e tongue with any Awarf or 'lf in the party and will en)uire as to their capacity for speaking the ancient

tongue of that race. +e is !ery interested in learning it and will offer tuition in two languages that he knows for such

a language% or will pay up to 3DD C.

The translator scene in the *ld &orld is fairly saturated% and theres little point trying to find work in Lothern

"ecause all the 'l!es are sure to know e!erything they need to in order to trade effecti!ely. There are unknownlanguages in Lustria and if he can learn them% when the settling of the region intensifies as it is sure to the more

tamed it "ecomes% his ser!ices will again "ecome !ery !alua"le indeed. In the meantime he is sure he can make hisway selling his skills to e(plorers and the like so they can con!erse with local tri"es and such.

*! (cri+es

$ small group seeking to peddle their ser!ices to the "usinesses and authorities that will start to gather and thri!e

there.

Werner 5irchner $ "oisterous indi!idual who has an a"iding interest in tales of ad!enture. +e will en)uire as to the

deeds of any interesting looking party mem"ers% and e!en if the details are less than startling he will "usily 2ot down

notes and constantly ask for ela"oration and what they were thinking or planning and so on. +e wants to write "ooks

to entertain and astound. +e does not mind his 2o" "ut finds it tedious some times. +e spends most of his time

dreaming of "igger things and wants to make his li!ing off this notion. Tra!elling to Lustria might gi!e him a "etter

feel of foreign lands and gi!e him access to stories from the eerie and lost realms of the 2ungle.

1,! Prospectors-

eople seeking to esta"lish themsel!es through the disco!ery of minerals. ost are seeking to pan or mine for

precious stones and metals that they can use to fund the creation of homes and communities. #ome are heading outwithout their families and will send for them when they ha!e successfully gained wealth or they will return with

their fortune to the 'mpire. #ome are preparing to esta"lish mines% and this includes a small num"er of rey

Awar!es who ha!e grown tired of the meagre li!ing they make from their home territory.

6orim 6reathammer If you are planning on staging ,Aeath of the Reik after this campaign you should ignore this

character.

orim is a tunnel fighter and e(<prospector who "ecame the leader of a group of Awar!en miners that settled

outside of the town of rissenwald and esta"lished a community that was named =ha6id #lum"ol. They wereswindled out of their prosperous mine "y the sorcerous manipulations of a human woman named 'telka +er6en who

later infested their mine with o"lins. any of their num"er returned to the rey ountains% "ut ashamed to return

home with such a poor result he and si( others ha!e taken the drastic step of seeking their fortunes in Lustria.orim is a proud Awarf who is angry at how he and his people ha!e "een treated. +e can assure all that he

will not tolerate such treachery in Lustria. $s soon as the laws of he 'mpire ha!e "een lifted when they set foot on

that soil% death is the penalty for trifling with them. They are eager to fanatically get to work again and redeem their

pre!ious failures.

11! $riminals

eople who are wanted for crimes that are either known or in danger of coming to light. They are seeking refuge in

Lustria and will pro"a"ly ha!e no intention of returning. any will "e intent on continuing their career in lands with

less stringent laws and effecti!e "odies to enforce them. #la!ers% "andits% gra!ero""ers% all manner of nefarious

12! Bounty hunters

>



There are one or two "ounty hunters who intend to tra!el the ports and towns of Lustria and seek those who are

using such lands to hide from 2ustice. Because such people are generally wanted for a great many serious felonies%

the significant "ounty more than warrants the long and arduous tra!el in!ol!ed. They will ha!e a collection of

wanted posters of those they suspect of ha!ing fled to Lustria.

7ud%i' Immelmann $n aging "ounty hunter who is seeking to get the drop on a last few high paying "ounties so

that he can retire. There are some !ery !icious criminals that he has "rought to 2ustice in his long career and somemanaged to get a 2ail sentence rather than e(ecution. If they get out one day% then they will definitely want re!enge.

Lustria is a place far enough away that he need ne!er worry a"out then finding him. +e has posters for si( men% all

wanted on charges of murder% rape% ro""ery% and other hefty crimes. The fact that they ha!e not "een found in a

good long while in any ci!ilised country suggests that in all pro"a"ility they ha!e left the *ld &orld. +e has found a

few clues that suggest Lustria and he hopes that they will ha!e "ecome complacent enough that he an easily slay

them. The a!erage "ounty on each of these ,dead only criminals is ?DD C.

Part %: "ncounters On The .ay To /lthuan

1! The 0een of Fat+oy ichar

The fleet passes a whaling ship called ,the #anguine #unset. Captain +ockmann knows the !essel and orders the

Intrepid closer. Captain eissen is seeking a mutant whale that has "een sighted se!eral times and it has attacked

and sunk four whaling ships. -at"oy Richard is a "loated ugly Blue &hale three times the si6e of any natural "east.+e is said to ha!e eaten a rock as "lack as the soul of a Chaos &arrior and was possessed "y the !ile Lords of

isrule. +is maw is filled with ra6or sharp teeth the si6e of greatswords% he "leeds molten sil!er% and he has amalignant intellect that foils all attempts to slay him.

Captain eissen "elie!es that -atBoy Richard circles Glthuan once e!ery three years and is waiting for him

in this stretch of sea. +e has two cannon on "oard that he intends to use to kill the monster and the "lood of the "east

will make him and his crew rich and famous.

+ockmann has heard tale of the "east and has seen enough strange things in the sea to know that its likely to

"e true. +e thinks eissen a fool and that hell "e dead "efore a single cannon"all e!en lea!es its "arrel.

2! (top at 0othern

(idday has ust &assed by %hen the isle of 8lthuan looms u& from the horion and the Im&erial %arshi&s dro&

anchor and leave the fleet to continue alone. # sheer %all of im&ossibly hi'h cliffs &resents an insurmountable shield and many massive %ea&ons of %ar can be seen u&on the to%erin' &eas. In the straits before the isle, there

rises a 'reat li'hthouse that is filled %ith thousands of 'litterin' lam&s and it is also laden %ith many %ar-en'ines

that hel& create a lethal illin' one bet%een the li'hthouse and entrance to the realm of the Hi'h !lves. T%o

'i'antic carved valves of brone that are set %ith emeralds bar all access to the land.

There are a num"er of !essels already anchored outside and smaller 'l!en ships cruise amongst them as pilots "oard and !erify the intent of the tra!ellers.

$"out ten minutes later

# Hi'h !lf in 'leamin' silver amour boards the Intre&id and ass as to the vessels business in 7othern %ith

e*ceedin'ly brus3ue tones. The "a&tain reveals that they are on the business of the !m&eror and that everythin'

re'ardin' their visit has already been arran'ed %ith the 4hoeni* 5in'. The Hi'h !lf &ays his ans%er little attention

and mans the %heel.

-i!e minutes later

# horn sounds and echoes across the sea. The vast valves 'lide o&en lie a sea breee to reveal a lon' channel. It is

created by t%o sheer cliff faces of smooth roc that are filled %ith castles and ram&arts. /ie'e en'ines of terrible

sie and a&&earance are trained u&on the channel and the shi&s seem tiny a'ainst them as they &roceed in.

The shi&s cruise do%n the &assa'e and silence rei'ns as everyone stares u&%ard %ith concern and a%e at the

&ernicious defences trained u&on you and manned by steel eyed 7othern /ea 6uard.

?



#t the end of the channel is a hu'e fortified &ortal %ith silver 'ates t%enty times the hei'ht of the tallest shi&s.

It is encrusted %ith sa&&hires lar'er than a man’s head and it %afts o&en as thou'h it %ere made of sil.

The fleet &roceeds on%ard and you see a hu'e and sta''erin'ly beautiful city that fans u&%ards into the

foothills of the 'reat mountains that surround you. It teems %ith life. #ll around are humans from every corner of

the 'lobe 9 #raby, "athay, 7ustria, Ni&&on, and the )ld World. (ostly they are merchants and sailors but there arealso many Hi'h !lves conductin' daily business %hile seemin'ly remainin' oblivious to the human element

amon'st them. # massive la'oon dominates the centre of the city. Thousands of vessels lie at anchor. There are many !lven

merchant vessels, slee and deadly %arshi&s, and countless other stran'e craft form every other country in the

#rtificial islands have been created in the la'oon. 4alaces and tem&les rise from the %ater. /torehouses and

The fleet &ulls into a set of &rearran'ed docs %here %aitin' su&&lies stand ready to be loaded by Im&erial &ersonnel. The &ilots leave %ithout %ord and the reloadin' of su&&lies be'ins.

‘We leave at daybrea. Those %ho are late can s%im for the 6romril "oast because I ain’t %aitin' around for ‘em,’ bello%s the "a&tain.

The Captain has no intention of "eing left "ehind and losing the comforting support of the Imperial warships.

/ho&&in' in 7othern: The city has a ten thousand plus population and "ecause of the sheer !olume of trade that is

conducted% e!erything is 3DE more a!aila"le. $lmost e!ery type of item is here somewhere% awaiting shipment to

other countries. The odd single item or handful of e(amples may "e ac)uired at dou"le normal price. This makes the

item one le!el more a!aila"le.

The ships lea!e at day"reak the ne(t day and after merging amongst the warships they continue onwards towards

Lustria.

3! The Derelict

The fleet comes across a trading ship called the ,&a!e host that is hanging low in the water with its rigging and

sails in tatters. The fleet pauses to in!estigate and those who are interested are free to take a long"oat and go on "oard with the Imperial troops. The crew are all dead and lay sprawled and torn apart. The hold is completely empty.

Heal %ounds The "lood is fresh "ut the cada!ers seem to "e at least a week old. They seem to ha!e "een hacked

apart "y dull and rusty weaponry and none of them made any o"!ious attempt to e!en defend themsel!es.

2oat 2uildin'=/ailin' The interior of the ship is soaked and not 2ust from the few leaks that are letting the ship take

on water at a steady rate. It looks like it was in a prolonged and hea!y rainstorm.

ollo% trail There is not one trace of the culprit% not a "lood trail% not a scuff% scratch% or sign that the ship was e!en

"oarded.

The ship is left to succum" to its wounds and sink% taking the "odies into the deep. The disco!ery sets many a sailors

ner!es on edge and as words spreads as to what happened this an(iety grows.

4! The $liff Of $ries

H



Recent !olcanic acti!ity on the ocean "ed has sent a spire of rock up out of the depths. The peaks of the tiny island

ha!e "ecome infested with +arpies who ha!e "een attacking passing ocean traffic. Two ships ha!e "een massacred

and then sent to the "ottom.

There are some knocks and "umps to the hull as the ship sails through some floating wooden wreckage. If the

party lean o!er and take a look% they will see that it is of indeterminate origin% "ut is definitely rigging and some planks. 0o one is "othered "y it and will assume the party are paranoid if they start to get edgy. Gnfortunately% they

are right if they act in such a way "ecause a little later

‘7and Ho> )ff the starboard bo%>’ comes a cry from the "ro%’s Nest.

The "a&tain 'rumbles irritably and dra%s his telesco&e. He &ans across the horion and to the small dar

s&ec that the sailor is &ointin' at.

‘7and? $ou better not have been at the rum a'ain, lad. There ain’t no land for days round this %ay> It’s

%ell I’ll be basted by 2eastmen. /ome sort of tiny island.’

$n enhanced !iew or "y waiting for half an hour will see what it is

# small a''ed &ea rises from the ocean and the sea crashes a'ainst its dar stee& cliff faces. # lar'e number of

birds can be seen nestin' amon'st the contorted u&&er reaches of the stran'e tiny island.

It is known that such temporary !olcanic isles are not uncommon and there is nothing to worry a"out% "ut then the

"irds start taking to the wing and heading towards the ships. It is at this point that their true nature is disco!ered andthe alarm is raised. Those with weapons are told to help defend the ship% and those who are non<com"atants are

urged to take co!er "ellow decks.The troops a"oard the warships ready missile weapons and close in toward the other !essels to try to protect

them. The harpies circle the ships% and then they swoop down to attack with 1D W/ for charging% and another 1D

for higher ground "efore they clim" "ack up and repeat the tactic. They attack at an effective initiative of 3D and

only attacks at a greater !I may "e utilised% all others are 2ust not )uick enough to use against the "east "efore it has

fled. Therefore% those with a higher initiati!e may stay poised and use their celerity to hack at the "east "efore its

claws or clu" come to "ear. This makes the initiati!e "onus against mounted and aerial opponents ac)uired from

spears and hal"erds !ery useful.

Jou can send as many or as few harpies at the party until the "easts ha!e had enough and decide to retreatand wait for easier prey. #afe amongst the rocks they will "e a"le to escape any retaliation sa!e sustained cannon

finally a massi!e fistfight "reaks out on deck in!ol!ing "oth crew and passengers. The Captain allows it to continue

for a short time so that they can "low off some steam and ensure things are )uieter afterwards. The fight ends whenthe Captain fires a pair of his pistols in the air and then draws two more to aim at the fray. The ad!enturers can get

stuck in as they wish.

‘7and Ho>’ comes an ecstatic cry from the cro%’s nest.

4eo&le rush onto dec and stare for%ard as the hay outlines of the 7ustrian coast start to manifest on the

horion. The dee& lush un'les stretch as far as the eye can see and in the e*treme distance can be s&ied a mountain

ran'e.The fleet continues to close in and follo% the coast south%ards for a short time before they come to a small

island. The island has a sin'le beach facin' to%ards the land and it is covered in thic 'rasses. There are a fe%

stran'e trees that create a small %ood from %hich smoe rises and many %ild 'oats can be seen 'rain' &eacefully.

The fleet veers aside and to%ards a %ide river inlet. # sandy and s&ra%lin' beach lies to the south and the

northern ban is a %all of dense un'le %ith vines dra&in' into the %ater and odd-looin' trees lurin' in the

shallo%s. The ca% and chir& of bri'htly coloured birds echoes throu'h the air.

The beach 'ives %ay to 'rassland and a tall %ooden %all surrounds a small hill. The %all is com&rised of

hu'e u&ri'ht lo's that have been shar&ened to &oints and a fort lies %ithin. The Im&erial fla' flutters &roudly fromits summit and the barrels of t%o 6reat "annon ut from the %all and face out to sea. The lar'e %ooden 'ate on the

other side of the fort accesses a rou'h road that %inds alon' the riverban and as the beach vanishes it accesses a

small to%n.

The %arshi&s dro& anchor and be'in to dro& rafts into the sea that in turn acce&t the &arts for a number of

cannon and mortar that are clearly 'oin' to be delivered to the men of the Im&erial fort.The &assen'er shi&s continue into the broad river mouth and %ei'h anchor closer to the to%n %hereu&on

riverboats and bar'es start to come out to hel& carry everyone and everythin' ashore. The livestoc that is taen to

one of the lar'er buildin's is immediately subect to s%ift and frenied auction alon' %ith many sacs of seed.

/tandin' in the main clearin' are a fe% %a'ons, a cro%d of &eo&le, and a small detachment of Im&erial

troo&s. The re'iment has a ca&tain at their head %ith &istols in his belt and a s%ord in his hand. He is a little &ortlybut has several facial scars that testify to his involvement in battle.

11



/tandin' closer to the shore is a hu'e and burly man. He has a shaven head and a sneerin' e*&ression. # t%o

handed s%ord resides on his bac and a crossbo% &istol lies at his side. The emblem of the !m&ire is &ainted on the

front of his breast&late and he has t%o armoured forms standin' beside him %ith s%ord and a*e.

4ort Heldenhmmer itself lies %ithin a sieable clearin' and has a number of buildin's surroundin' the

central o&en area. # sin'le rou'h road leads out and into the un'le and small &aths %ind around the settlement toaccess the many small homes and businesses. # small doc has a number of river vessels, fishin' boats, ro%boats,

and rafts obviously u& for sale and a shi&yard ne*t to it is available to re&air them. There are a fe% taverns, an Inn,and a small fishin' %harf %hose vessels can be seen further u&river. Tain' advanta'e of their absence are an'lers

and %omen %ho are busily re&airin' nets and sails. # tem&le of /i'mar is in the later sta'es of construction and a

com&leted tem&le of (anaan is acce&tin' sailors %ho are enterin' to &ay thans for their safe arrival and to &ray

for an e3ually secure voya'e home.

$ +el"laster olley un% two reat Cannon% and four ortars are deli!ered to the fort and installed to augment thetwo reat Cannon already present. These are esta"lished to offset the growing danger presented "y other countries.

#s soon as you set foot on the ban, the heat envelo&s you lie a 'love. The sea breee that had e&t the tem&erature

at bay has faded and is little more than a 'entle 'ust. The very air is distinct and hot in your lun's and s%eat

immediately %ells across your sin. It is a sticy, o&&ressive heat that ticles and irritates, causin' shivers and a

clammy sense of bein' boiled from %ithin.

1! The Imperial Fort

Captain &iess"ack and his small company of men command the fort. They rarely lea!e the safety of the walls and

the Captain lea!es the handling of the town to the sergeant. +e is a little corrupt "ut sees this as compensation for "eing stationed so far from home. The 'mpire sends the odd ship with supplies and financial aid to keep the fort

running and the payoffs from the sla!e colony and from the Treasure Tro!e ensure that he has e(cess cash to en2oy

his little lu(uries. +is main concern is attack on the town from a hostile force either from the sea or "y land "ut these

can now "e tackled from the fort with the new artillery he has "een pro!ided with.

The fort has three +alflings who handle cooking and also ha!e se!eral small gardens outside the walls and asmall still inside. They came to Lustria with the troops seeking new and e(otic culinary !oyages and this is one of

the reasons for the Captains weight gain. They also ha!e the recipe to "rew up the dreaded +alfling +otpot in an

emergency. #tomper% orten% and Baff can sometimes "e seen lea!ing the fort and poking around in the edge of the

forest for fruits and !egeta"les.

d;3 days at four hours toil a day to inscri"e one of the Runes listed in the magic section of the &-R rule"ook and

it re)uires a ma'ic test to succeed. +e has a %ill&o%er of ;; and he has 53 magic points that he generally uses toensure success on the test. *n a HH<DD it e(plodes and harms 'ckhart% "ut "ecause he limits himself to one rune per

item and only le!el one spells% this generally results in a cure li'ht inury or two to fully restore his %ounds. +e

charges 3:D C for a rune% and 1:D C for a spell rune that may "e ordered from the following M #ura of

resistance, "ure li'ht inury, Hammerhand, or Immunity to &oison.

+e keeps his main source of "usiness !ery secret "ut he does make potions and such as well as using rele!antspells when he is commissioned to do so. These range from curing% and spells that ha!e a decent duration that he

will generally cast on the character at day"reak as they head into the 2ungle. If the rele!ant ingredient is not

pro!ided% then he has a !ery hea!y fee to use one of his own "ecause ingredients such as a iant scalp or the

pituitary gland of a Troll are not easy things to come "y e!en in the 'mpire% let alone in Lustria.
