The Madness

Baron Von Richter

Introduction and Synopsis.

The Madness of Baron Von Richter is a short

adventure primarily designed for characters

in their late first or early second careers al-

though with a little work it can be modified

by altering the numbers of zombies, reduc-

ing/increasing their statistics or giving the

Player Characters some help from local mili-

tiamen or the like.

journey. The timing of the adventure is also

relatively unimportant but it would work par-

ticularly well on Geheiminsnacht, Hex-

ensnacht or any other night where Morrslieb

is at its full.

In real life this game can be a particularly fun

event to run on Halloween or a stormy night.

A good atmosphere can add a whole extra

level of depth to the scenario.

A note on Gore:

A typical zombie attack can leave many

people dead and disembowelled. This ad-

venture will not go into details on descrip-

tions of such things. However, I heartily

encourage the GM to become as imagina-

tive as he likes when describing these

events. Plenty of inspiration can be had

from the numerous Zombie films out there if

you want it, but you certainly shouldn’t feel

compelled to include it if you would rather

focus on other aspects of the game.

The adventure follows the events which oc-

cur when the players arrive in the quiet town

of Todesburg on the very night a grief

stricken Baron attempts to resurrect his wife

who has recently passed away. However, the

spell goes horribly wrong (as such things

tend to do) and she is instead raised as a

zombie. And so are all the bodies in the town

graveyard…

Todesburg can be placed anywhere which is

convenient to your campaign - the adventure

is designed as a one night stopover during a

The Cast.

Baron Ludwig Von Richter.

The Baron is a tortured soul; his wife who he

has devoted his every waking moment to for

23 years has died from a mysterious illness.

He has been driven over the edge by his loss

and has cut himself off from the world, lock-

ing himself in his library.

Trappings: Dark Grimoire, Noble’s Garb,

Foil, Main Gauche, Purse with 50gc

Baroness Mathilde

The love of Ludwig’s life, the baroness, is

now a fan of munching on limbs and entrails.

She was a frightening woman in life and her

recent death by mysterious illness has done

little to improve her mood.

Although he is getting on in years the Baron

is still a healthy man whose years of adven-

turing in his youth have given him much ex-

perience of the world outside. Since settling

in Todesburg he has devoted his life to study

and has amassed a vast collection of books.

Among these is a dark tome he found in

Araby which is at least partly to blame for

his current state of mind.

Mathilde enjoys needlework, riding in the

country and eating raw flesh.

Her walking corpse is pale and covered in

green boils. Her once fine black hair ob-

scures her face. She’s tall (taller than

Ludwig) but shambles along hunched over.

Because she was the focus of the necroman-

tic energies she is somewhat stronger than

the other zombies roaming the town.

He is a fairly tall man with greying hair and a

weathered face but is still strong enough to

put up a fight if he has to.

Konrad Gustavson

ing back from a trip to Altdorf. He was in-

validated out of service but as a reward for

saving the Baroness’s life from bandits the

Baron gave him a substantial sum of money

and Hans settled down to open an inn. He

married and had a pair of daughters with his

wife Frieda. His wife has passed away now

and he is left to take care of his daughters -

Elsa and Klara - who he is fiercely protective

of.

Konrad became an initiate of Morr at the age

of 16 after a series of dreams about a raven

telling him to. A very serious young boy he

excelled in his studies at the temple of Morr

in Talabheim. It was here, after visiting with

the famed augur Paul von Soleck, that he was

encouraged to take up the post of priest in

Todesburg.

He has lived in the town for almost 10 years

now, caring for the dead and growing ever

more bitter at the lack of purpose in his life

since he arrived in the backwater town. All of

that is about to change as he meets his true

calling.

The dead have risen in Todesburg and march

upon the living. The corpses in the town’s

the living. The slain rise up again to join their

ranks.

Hans the Innkeeper

Before he bought the Long Rifle, Hans was

one of the Barons armsmen. At the age of 34

he was seriously wounded in the right leg

Zombies vary greatly in appearance; some

may appear almost living while others may

appear skeletal. Some will still have axes in

their heads or holes clean through them.

Some may have picked up weapons they

knew in life. If you’re stuck for ideas just

watch any zombie film while keeping a note-

pad handy.

Arrival.

The Player Characters reach the top of a hill

and see beneath them the walled town of To-

desburg. Built on a small rise near the river

the grey stone of the town rises out of the

green wilds of the forest. They will be ex-

hausted from days of travelling and sleeping

rough on the road so will no doubt welcome a

rest and a hot meal. Passing through the town

gates they will see only one watchman who’s

leaning against the wall smoking his pipe.

The town clearly doesn’t expect much in the

way of trouble.

The main street climbs straight up the hill to a

large manor house on the hill. On the right

hand side you can see a tavern sign.

If a Player Character or NPC dies in the town

they will be resurrected as Undead. They will

retain all their equipment (GM’s discretion

whether they can use it or not) but their skills

and statistics revert to the standard zombie

profile. If a player dies in this way and

wishes to continue allow them to take the

part of an NPC hiding somewhere in the

town or defending the inn.

The following is the standard zombie profile

as shown in The Old World Armoury . All

zombies in the town (apart from the Baron-

ess) have these statistics:

At this point the players may wish to go shop-

ping. The town is small and doesn’t have

much in the way of shops but the players can

buy food, some basic equipment and even

some basic weapons from the general store

farmers stop at. There are stables in the town

but there are no horses for sale as they are all

being used to harvest crops.

Any attempt to enter the walled manor

grounds will be stopped by watchmen far

more alert then the ones at the gate.

The Long Rifle.

Trappings: Various implements (hand weap-

ons), in some case light armour (leather

jack).

A swinging sign showing a Hochland Long

Rifle beckons the PCs in. Entering they will

see a common room taking up most of the

Ground Floor, the Bar stands opposite the

door and in between are a dozen tables.

Above the bar is mounted Hans’s old Long

Rifle from his days in the Baron’s Army. To

their right an ornate fireplace is set but not yet

burning. To the left stairs lead up to rooms.

The Players can rent twin rooms for 8s per

room and have an evening meal for 12p

(average beef stew). Ales cost 2p each.
