A detailed Imperial City Based Inn for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

W ELCOME TO THE G RAF M ANFRED !

This booklet gives you a complete, fully detailed and

ready-to-use city location for your adventures. Inside the

card cover of this character pack, you will find a detailed

plan of the Graf Manfred Inn. This booklet gives you a

complete map key, twenty-two colourful and detailed

NPCs making up its staff and regular customers and a

range of adventure ideas and outlines based around the

inn and its personalities. It can be the base of operations

for a group of adventurers who have just arrived in a big

city, or it can be the location for a number of exciting

adventures based on the outlines in the back of this

booklet, or completely of your own design. The Graf

Manfred is a large inn in a big city somewhere in The

Empire. Precisely where is up to you. In fact, if you

change a few names, it could be anywhere in the Old

World wherever you need to set it for your adventures.

Moreover, you can use it again and again a few name

changes, a slight alteration to a couple of the staff, and

you have a new inn, ready to provide the backdrop for

new adventures. The staff and regulars of the Graf

Manfred will provide you with a stock of colourful and fully

developed NPCs, ready to use when you need them. This

need not be at the inn itself – if you need an NPC

Charlatan, Gambler, Beggar, Rat Catcher or any of the

twenty-two personalities featured here, they are ready

and waiting. On the other hand, if your adventurers

decide to talk to some of the locals in an inn, here they

are with no need for you to prepare minor NPCs in

advance. In addition, each has the potential to lead the

party off into new adventures, as you will see. So pull up

a stool and fill your tankard, but keep a hand on your

purse and an ear open for gossip. There is always

something happening at the Graf Manfred.

middle-class, and most of its clientele are drawn from the

middle classes.

The streets outside the Graf Manfred are generally

bustling with activity at most times of the day and early

evening. Travellers enter and leave the city by coach and

on horseback; wagon trains come in with goods from

elsewhere in the Old World; townspeople of all kinds go

about their daily business; and there are several street

entertainers, pickpockets and others who make a living

by separating the unwary from their money. The area is

visited by a patrol from the City Watch from time to time,

but their presence is not especially noticeable. There are

both upper and lower class areas within a few minutes’

walk, giving you easy access to all levels of society. In the

city of Middenheim, for example, the Graf Manfred might

well be situated in the Westor-Sudgarten district, not far

from the Temple of Shallya.

GETTING THERE

There are several ways you, the GM, can steer your

adventurers towards the Graf Manfred once they arrive in

the city. Like many of the larger inns, the Graf Manfred

employs ‘ scouts ’ to meet incoming coaches and boats

and lead people to the inn, as the adventurers arrive, they

are greeted with a scene similar to that described in the

Arriving in Altdorf section of Mistaken Identity in The

Enemy Within. Perhaps the only ‘ scout ’ around is Harald

Kellner, business at the Graf Manfred is slow, and he’s

done a deal with the ‘ scouts ’ from the other inns to make

sure they stay away today. He will spin the characters a

fine line about the virtues of the Graf Manfred, quote

them a price 10% above normal, and then wink and

promise to get them a 10% discount. Alternatively, the

Graf Manfred might be recommended to the adventurers

by a trusted acquaintance; Gerhard Kamm the

Coachman, for instance, who has driven them all the way

to the city, or Heini Unsittsmann the Bawd, who has

shown them a rattling good time and promises them the

finest lodgings in the city, or Old Fritz the Beggar, who

leads them to the Graf Manfred in the hope of a free

drink.

L OCATION

As we’ve already said, the Graf Manfred can be located

in any of the big cities of The Empire and if you don’t

mind changing a few names it can be anywhere in the

Old World. Nevertheless, like everything else in the world

of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, it does not exist in

isolation. It is part of a city, with streets and buildings all

around it. In order for you to use the Graf Manfred to its

best effect, you have to know a few things about the area

of the city in which it is situated. The Graf Manfred is

within a couple of streets of one of the city gates. As you

can see, it relies on travellers for a lot of its income, so it

needs to be one of the first welcoming places a traveller

sees when he arrives in the city. Not far away is the city’s

coach depot, run by the expanding nationwide Four

Seasons coaching line. The general district in which the

Graf Manfred is situated may best be described as

You will find a map of the Graf Manfred on pages 4 and 5.

Here is a general description of the inn’s rooms and

layout; feel free to amend or ignore any details that do not

suit your purposes.

The sides of the bed are solid, with no way to get

underneath; the strongbox is set into the bed-frame,

beneath the mattress. It is an iron box 18” high and 12”

square, with a Challenging (-10%) locked lid and usually

contains about 250 gc in mixed coin.

T HE M AIN B UILDING

The ground floor consists of an entrance lobby, a large

and well-appointed lounge with a discreet private booth, a

smaller bar, a dining room and a kitchen. This is all that

most patrons will see. The bar and lounge are open from

noon to midnight, and Good Craftsmanship Meals are

served at 6-7 am (3 pence, guests only), 12-1 pm (6

pence), and 7-8 pm (1 silver).

There are seven more guest-rooms on the upper floor. At

the end of the upstairs passage, a secret door leads to a

small gaming-room, which is opened on request; Harald

acts as croupier, with Ludo Greenberry helping out if he

doesn’t want to play. While gambling is not illegal, Dieter

has found that a secretive and illicit atmosphere adds a

certain something to a gaming session.

You can alter the attic to suit the plotlines you use (see

Adventure Ideas). If there is a Chaos Cult at the Graf

Manfred, you will probably want to use the secret rooms

in the attic; if not, the whole of the attic is a storage area,

piled with junk.

Milli may rustle something up at other times, for example,

if guests arrive late after a long journey. She cannot bear

to think of anyone going hungry. There are seven guest

rooms on the ground floor; each sleeps two people. A

room costs 30 silver per night, whether one or two people

are using it. A third person may use a room at Dieter’s

discretion, a spare bed can be moved in for another 10

silver per night. Stabling costs 30 pence per mount per

night, including fodder and grooming.

Milli has a comfortable room next to the kitchen. On the

dresser is a statuette of Esmeralda, the Halfling goddess

of hearth and home, there is another in each of the

kitchens. Under the bed is a small chest locked with an

Average Craftsmanship Padlock. In here are Milli’s

valuables, her life savings of around 75 gc, and about 50

gc in jewellery.

T HE S TABLES

The stable-block has stalls for ten horses, a feed store

and a large hayloft with a room for Erika at the back. She

has no valuables, apart from an elaborate Spur made of

silver left behind by a traveller (this is worth around 15

gc). She keeps it partly for good luck, and partly in case

she meets the stranger again. In one comer of the stable

is a pile of crates, barrels and sacks; a careful search will

reveal a kind of passage between them, which can be

negotiated by an Elf or a slim Human. Right in the comer

is a trapdoor, normally covered by an empty crate, which

leads down into the cellars.

Stairs from the bar lead up to a private drawing room, and

the family’s bedrooms lead off from here. A small private

pantry is connected to the main kitchen by a narrow

staircase, and the Kellners even have the luxury of an

upstairs bathroom, most people use a tub or half-barrel in

front of the parlour fire. Water is brought up via a pump

designed and built by Grim. The bedrooms contain most

of their occupants’ personal belongings, most of which

are not particularly valuable.

T HE C ELLARS

Grim has made a few alterations to the cellars. He put in

the passage to the stable, and built three more secret

entrances. You may decide to have these passages lead

to other parts of the inn, to the city’s sewer system, or to

a network controlled by the local Thieves’ Guild. More

normal entrances to the cellar consist of a barrel-hatch

from the courtyard and a set of stairs from the bar. Grim

spends most of his time in the cellar, and has even

decorated one wall with traditional Dwarf carvings. He

has built a bunk in one corner, and has carved a small

safe into the wall. It has an iron door with a Challenging

(-10%) lock, but it contains little of value, just a few

mementoes, like Grim’s old Engineers’ Guild badge.

Catarina keeps her jewellery behind a false panel in the

back of the top drawer of the dresser; it amounts to four

or five rings, a couple of bracelets and a necklace,

totalling perhaps 40 gc. Helga has 7 gc in cheap, bright

jewellery in an old biscuit-box under her bed, and Magda

has no jewellery apart from the little she wears. Volker

has no valuable belongings and Harald wears all his

jewellery whenever he is awake; at night, it is kept in the

second drawer of his dresser, under a couple of shirts.

The inn’s strongbox is in the master bedroom.
