We rejoin our heroes in the dead of the night, under the cover of darkness as they stand inside the Steinhager offices, in the main office, after breaking in and finding the secret door. They decide a swift exit is required and they slip out into the side street, covering the tracks of their criminal activities.

With no base or inn, and wanting to keep a very low profile they head east back to the Crossed Lance’s to see if their mate Frans at the thieves guild will put them up for the night. Paying over the odds they manage to secure a room and get some rest.

The next morning over breakfast, heavy discussions take place while the team plot what direction to take, which leads to follow and what to do. This proves difficult and many different possibilities are mulled over.

Eventually, Gnoblar suggests that they head to the main square and seek out the madman doom sayer they had heard about the other day.
They had passed through the square a few times recently but not seen a madman, but today he was in full swing and easy to spot.
After listening and taking note of his ravings from afar they decide to approach. He looks through the groups faces, fixes his glare on Werner and states “the mark is upon you bringer of chaos!” Before looking terrified and running through the crowd.
Luckily Rowlocks is able to track him and they give pursuit only to see him just hop on the ferry to the pit at the last moment. The guys wait for the next ferry.

Once in the pit they immediately feel and look out of place in the slums. They ask some of the locals about the distinct looking madman but are met with distrust and suspicion and no one wants to talk to them.
They decide to head to an inn to try their old favourite trick of greasing the palms of the innkeeper.
The Frogs Head is officially the biggest shithole in the whole of the Empire but they have a pint and manage to loosen the lips of the staff and find the whereabouts of the madmans hovel and head there immediately.
Our team cautiously surround the hovel and Werner knocks the door. No answer so they push it open and head in. They find the madman facedown in his pad with a missing throat and flee the area not wanting to be incriminate.
From the pit the guys head back across the river and go to check out the warehouse where Richter told them the goblin had been found.

A knock on the warehouse door brings the door keep and they lie saying they have been sent by Richter to enquire. He regales them with his epic tale of bravery and how he clubbed the goblin to death, they ask a few more questions and he asks them to leave. They snoop around the outside of the warehouse just to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, which there doesnt seem to be.
Pondering what to do next, frustration begins to set in and they decide that a scrawny alcoholic would be the ideal person to rough up and they knock on the warehouse door again.
Alchoholic Anton answers and an arguement ensues ending with Anton telling them to “check the fucking warehouse yourself then” Finding nothing, our “heroes” decide to beat him up. All 4 pin him down but he sticks to his story. Werner pulls a blade and sticks it to his throat and after a nick of blood he spills the beans telling them that Richter put him up to it.

Armed with this information the gang storm back east through the town, through the hustle and bustle of the final day of Schaffenfest to the festival court.
Outside the court, they see the armed court guards and re-evaluate there plan and decide to go see Doc Malthusius instead.
Hes happy to see them and they have some pipes and brandy while they catch him up to events. The only thing the Doc has found out is that, when asking about the Ordo Septenarius, is that anyone making enquiries is to be sent to see Councillor Magirius at the Merchants guild. They head there straight away.

After a short wait at the Merchants guild they are lead in to see Magirius. He listens to what they have to say but insists he doesnt have time to speak to them right now and they arrange a dinner date at the plush Golden Trout for later where Magirius ensures them he will clear the matter up.

The team dont get dressed for dinner and head to the nicest place in town. After a delicious feast and a few drinks Magiruis explains the ordos charity based activities and explains why they insist on secrecy. Not believing a word of it, they enjoy their date and say goodbye to Magiruis.
Rowlocks tails Magirius and the others tail Rowlocks back to the Adel ring. The adventurers notice him drop a small note detailing a meeting to take place tonight at Teugans house.

Its stake out time as the guys inconspicuously hang about in the Adel ring dodging watch patrols and laying low. They see Magirius leave and head to Teugans along with other posh looking folk. Werner is concerned that something big is happening and they evaluate storming the building. The bodyguards, guards and watch patrols, along with cautious words from Rowlocks lead the adventurers to continue to stake out Teugans.

After the meeting they follow Magiruis home and hide in the park all through the night taking turns to guard and watch the house.
In the morning they are approached by a servant of Magiruis and they are quietly ushered to a secluded part of the garden.
Magirius has bottled it, no longer wants any part of Teugans plans and doesnt want people to die. He pleads with the team to stop the ritual and they go their separate ways with Magirius promising to contact them later of the details of where the new ritual is to be held.

Sensing the impending doom and being scared of the moon, the gang head to the merchants quarter to stash up on things they will need for a big fight. They buy helmets and spend time trying to acquire rare goods which they dont manage.
In the late afternoon they get word from Magirius messenger to come immediately to see him. They head straight over.

The servant shows them in and they head into the office.
A gruesome sight greets them, Magirius is freshly dead and as they are trying to look at the scrawled message written in his own blood as he lay dieing they hear the servant shouting for the watch as a murder has taken place. The servant materialises in the room to take the piss for a moment and then vanishes.
It doesnt look good and the guys have most certainly been framed. They quickly weigh up their options and leg it out the  back door as the watch come in the front. Hiding at the backdoor they are confronted by a 10 foot wall. The watch begin to turn over the house.
Panic sets in as they look for an escape route when Werner suddenly remembers hes good at climbing.
They head across the garden to the back wall and the watch spot them through the window and give chase.
Werner skillfully climbs the wall and then hoiks Rowlocks up to join him as a 4 man watch patrol burst out the back door. Both Gnoblar and Wandy jump to grab Werners hand and both fall to the ground as the watch are literally feet away. One last chance. Both Rowlocks and Werner lean down to help their companions and in a last ditch attempt at freedom Gnoblar and Wandy leap and ‘just’ manage to grab hold. They are pulled up the wall as the hands of the law slip inches away from their boots.

Bogenhafens most wanted sprint for their lives as the watch begin to raise the alarm and step up the pursuit.
The chase is on and watch patrols appear all over as the companions weave through the streets of Bogenhafen using all their luck and cunning, narrowly avoiding arrest.

Puzzled by their cryptic message from Magiruis they once again head to the Crossed Lance’s to see if Frans knows what it could mean.
At the pub, Frans explains that it’s a common abbreviation of Warehouse.
Now with a location for the ritual identified they attempt to make their way across town.
They dont get very far before they see a burning building in the distance. Bizarrely, round the corner, comes, what appears to be an exact copy of Gnoblar, who grins and runs off. Following him are an angry mob who are accusing him of torching the building. The party try to hide Gnoblar from the mob but he is spotted and once again the guys are being chased thro the towns streets. They gain ground as the mob inform the watch and now it seems everyone is after our heroes.

Ducking and diving back the way they come they head towards the manhole cover where they first entered the sewers. Figuring they would be spotted, they once again head to the Crossed Lance’s to seek aid from the thieves guild.
With half the town after them, Frans is less than impressed, but offers to shelter them for a completely extortionate small fortune. With the pressure on and all hell breaking loose they reluctantly agree to pay and are led to the safe room.

With the clock ticking they leave the pub through the sewer door and retrace their steps to the temple they found.
With only a minor mishap, leaving Werner covered in shit and piss, they find the temple completely empty.
From here our companions head north toward the Ostendamm with the intention of heading to the warehouse.
They emerge from the sewers near the river and head to check out both warehouses as they dont know which one is the right one.

They conclude that the one with the cleared space at the front, with the sign of the red rose must be the place. With the building empty, they sneak inside and hide amongst the crates

Session 4
Session 6

So, after a long and disgusting night in the sewers, the team get washed in the river and head to the Journeys End to get their heads down. After a well deserved lie in, they head down for breakfast and are surprised to learn that the Inn expenses are not being covered by the town council as expected. The innkeeper explains that since the goblin had been killed in a warehouse on the other side of town, they had failed in their task and therefore their expenses had not been covered. Baffled by this information (as they had recovered the 3 pocketed pelvis from the temple) they finish up breakfast and decide to go speak to magistrate Richter about what had happened.

The second day of the Schaffenfest is in full swing as they made their way to the festival courts, trying to avoid any sort of drama at all.
At the court they are told Richter is presiding over a case and they should come back 15 mins later. They decide to hang about in the vicinity and wait. During this time Rowlocks spots a young thief attempting to loosen a nobles purse. He gives the noble the heads up, the thief runs and the noble continues his chat with friends.
Gnoblar, for the first time since coming to Bogenhafen, hears what appears to be genuine sales patter from one of the herbalist/tonic stall. Intrigued, he heads over for a chat. His natural charisma and sociability skills kick in and he strikes up a good rapport with the stall owner. She informs him that if he should seek to expand his career into pharmacy he should seek her out in Weissbruck, he thanks her and the squad head back to the court.

They are shown in to see Richter who commiserates them on their failure and thanks them for their efforts explaining that the goblin was killed in a warehouse in the Ostendamm shortly after they entered the sewers. Concluding this to be lies, our party immediately distrust Richter and decide to not tell him the full story or show him the Pelvis. They push him for further details and he gives them the address of the warehouse where the goblin was killed and they leave.

Next port of call is to see Doctor Malhusius at the freak show. He greets them warmly and they enter his trailer for brandy and tobacco. Initially he doesnt believe our party’s story, but after seeing the pelvis, they start to piece together the parts. The authorities wont release the body to the doc, because they dont have one, there is some kind of cover up. The doc is distraught at the thought of the demon infested underground temple but is reluctant to put himself in danger, although he wants to help. They press him further, he suggests maybe speaking to the thieves guild or having a look in the library at the temple of Verena. The guys persuade the doc to let them keep the pelvis, they reassure him that they will return it and leave.

An in depth discussion is required and our heros try to piece together the information they have. A whole host of leads, ideas and opportunities present themselves and our party decide to try and trace overland their steps in the sewers to locate the building which would be above the temple.
After some confusion, Wandy pinpoints the Steinhager offices as the place. Rowlocks suggests that he stakes out the building while the rest of the team head to the temple library.

At the temple, Werner, Gnoblar and Wandy have a good chat with Greta who runs the temple. Greta, having lived in Bogenhafen all her life, proves to be a great source of information. They learn of the merchant families of the town, connect the warning of the red rose from the fortune teller to House Teugan, learn that the ordo septenaruis is a secret society to do with the merchants guild and that Franz Steinhager matches the initials seen on the hanky in the temple. The plot thickens as they realise the connections with the steinhager offices being above the temple. Werner concludes that the founding of the ordo timeline matches Johannes Teugans return from Nuln and his take over of the House Teugan.

Rowlocks continues his stakeout of the offices and sees various merchants come and go.

After retrieving further details from Greta, Wandy and Gnoblar decide to conduct further research in the temple library and as Werner cant read, he heads off to see what Rowlocks is doing.

Rowlocks and Werner take up the Thieves guild lead and head to the general area they presume is above the secret entrance they found in the sewers. Werner guesses that it will be a pub and they spot the Crossed Lance’s tavern and head in. Their suspicions are confirmed when they see their “friend” who they met the other day at the bar. They discover that gold helps loosen the lips of the barman and he provides information that confirms their suspicions about the temple and the goings on over the last 6 months, many more connections are made and the pieces of the jigsaw begin to slot together. The lads have a pint then head back to the temple to see how the others got on.
The chaos moon, Morrsleib, has been acting bizarrely over the last few days and the academics find info in the library relating the unnatural events of chaos and the coming of the great mutator. They also find suspicious accounts of the death of Johannes Teugans brother and him having received the mark of chaos.

Now evening time, our heros decide to call it a night and pick up their investigations the next day. At the last minute Gnoblar suggests that they break into the Steinhager offices under the cover of darkness and see what they can find.

Our party waits till midnight, get in the mindset of burglars and head to the offices. Wandy magically unlocks the outside door and they sneak in. Inside the courtyard they are immediately set upon by a guard dog who the pacify and befriend with food. They then begin a thorough search of the offices. Behind the first door they find a sleeping man in bed. They do not wake him, quietly close the door and place Werner outside to make sure he doesnt wake up and the others continue their search. After finding not much in most of the place they find the head office and begin to turn it over big time. They find in the desk drawer a note from Teugans, details of warehouses and links to the ordo septenarius. Rowlocks, not being happy with finding just that, takes the desk to pieces. Behind the draw, hidden at the back they find a leather bound book with the name of Teugan on the front. Wandys skill at reading arcana concludes that it is a spell book and he takes it. Even though they have broken the drawer, they carefully place everything back, and continue the search of the room. Behind one of the wooden panels they find a secret hidden door. They conclude that this is the secret door to the hidden temple.

Session 5

So, our 4 friends spent a lovely few days on the Berebeli with Josef and the crew and arrived at Bogenhafen early morning on the first day of the Schaffenfest, the town’s annual fair and sheep festival!

From the docks, contingency plans were made with how to deal with collecting the inheritance and our team went looking for the lawyers. After talking to some of the locals they drew a blank. Wandy came up with the genius idea of seeking out the printers who made the inheritance letter. From talking to the printers our team concluded that Adolphus, the bounty hunter, had printed the letters. Why tho, still remains a mystery.

Disappointed and lacking some direction, our heroes revert to their default state of – fuck it, let’s have a beer, and head to the festival.

At the festival, excitement and merriment are everywhere and our team take in the sights and sounds. They stop at the livestock market and Werner nearly buys a flock of lambs and Gnoblar has an arguement with a medicine merchant. Drawn in by the crowd the guys head to the wrestling ring and Werner decides he can take the champ and steps into the ring to the enjoyment of the crowd! After a round or so it becomes apparent that the champion is not as tired as he appears. Werner gives him a blow to the right leg, and then he looks angry. A couple of blows later Werner taps out and hobbles out of the ring, much to the disappointment of the crowd.

Our crew continue thro the festival towards the freak show. On the way Wandy decides to have his palm read, the fortune teller offers some words then becomes agitated and gets him to leave.

At the freak show the guys assist in capturing one of the escaped exhibits, much to the gratitude of the showman and they recieve free tickets and top seats for the main event.

Whilst waiting for the show, Werner heads off to seek treatment for his leg and Gnoblar, Rowlocks and Wandy head to the beer tent. Rowlocks heads to the bar and uses his charm to avert a brawl, Werner gets healed and heads to the beer tent and Wandy befriends a mangy looking dog. Wandy checks his coinpurse to find he is short of 3 crowns. Wandy is very sad about this.

The freakshow is thoroughly entertaining but ends with drama, the goblin escapes again into the sewer system, the party and Doctor M are taken to the festival court to explain to the magistrate what happened. They are then hired to solve the problem.

They are given accommodation at the town’s expense and the team prepare for a trip into the sewers.
Lanterns, food and water purchased the guys head to the manhole. After some serious skill by Gnoblar, the ladder is placed and they enter the disgusting horrible mess that is Bogenhafen sewer system.

Our team head east looking for the breathing hole the goblin entered. On the way they decide to investigate a minor sewer in which they find a weird door etched with a symbol. Wandy uses his powers to silently open the door and they enter a cellar in which they find 3 blokes.

Before they know it they are trapped, bound and gagged and find themselves being talked to by there new “friends”. After complying with their requests, they are escorted back to the sewers and continue looking for the goblin.
They pick up a trail of goblin blood from the breathing hole and follow it thro the sewer system which leads them to a door. With no other option they break down the door and enter what appears to be a underground temple to the ruinous powers of evil.

Before they have time to take in the scene a demon manifests itself and the party are gripped by fear. After a short interaction they turn and run, grabbing the 3 socketed pelvis on the way out and make their way to the nearest manhole.

Down the main sewer they come across a swarm of rats. Werner throws food across the channel, the rats take the bait and the party head to the manhole. With no ladder, it’s down to Werner to climb up and secure a rope.
After several dunks in the shit river he manages to secure exit for the party and they once again breath clean air and they head to the Journeys end inn. The landlord wont let them in, so they head to the river, get cleaned down and then go back for a rest as the sun comes up.

Session 4

After a harrowing journey our heroes eventually arrived at the gleaming metropolis of Altdorf. After a bizarre series of interactions the guys got their heads down for the night. In the morning, they spent a few hours shopping in the Mercantile area then headed off to find the expedition. Too late, the expedition had already left!

Whilst wondering what to do our party bumped into an old friend of Rowlocks, Josef Quartjin, and they hit the inn once more. A fun night of drinking ensued, with a bit of a twitchy end. Some drunken nobles with big bodyguards set about obnoxiously insulting the party, and were then joined by a nasty protagonist. Not wanting any trouble the party left sharpish and headed to Josefs boat (after witnessing some murder on the way). During the evening, Josef asks if they will help him crew his barge on a trip to Bogenhafen to deliver some wine – this happens to be the place where they need to collect the inheritance, with Werner still pretending to be Kastor Leiberung. They agree as they are also prepared to work for gold.

In the morning, Josef returns to the boat with news that the nobles from last night are dead and the gang are the prime suspects. They set sail up the Wiessbruck canal to Bogenhafen whilst hiding from the road wardens after being accused of a crime they did not commit.

That night in Wiessbruck they are attacked! Luckily, a watch was posted and a battle ensued. The Berebelli is set on fire and the bounty hunter Adolphus attacked. The battle was bloody and went to the wire, everyone was wounded, Werner was on his last legs. With Josef and the crew, they set off in the middle of the night on the smouldering barge, the Berebeli.

They had taken some prisoners aboard but they did not see out the night, and their corpses were gently slipped into the river.

Our 4 friends now sit on the deck of the barge, in the middle of the night, licking their wounds and discussing what the fuck is happening. Werner, feeling his time as a carpenter is over, now works as a bodyguard for his friend Gnoblar.
Onwards, to Bogenhafen…

Session 1
Session 3

After entering the inn and talking to the innkeeper Gustav, our new friends settle down for a hearty meal and a few drinks. Werner, keen to secure passage to Altdorf, tries to talk to the coachmen, Gunner and Hutlz, who are outrageously drunk. He negotiates a price whilst Wandy speaks to a guy with his head buried in a book. It is clear he doesnt want to chat and Wandy leaves him to it.

After some suspicious eyeing from the bar, the guys are approached by a foppish gentleman called Phillipe, who buys them a round of drinks and offers them a game of cards to pass the time.
Gnoblar calls ‘hustle’ and an arguement breaks out, with calls of ‘cheat’. Phillipe, offended by this notion, leaves the group, but Werner wants to smash his face in. Bad blood ensues.

After offending the noble lady and entourage at the next table, our group finishes their drinks and retires for the evening.

So, after an entertaining evening in the inn, and a slow start to the journey (having had to drag the coachmen out of bed and even drive the coach for them), our band of friends finally hit the road, with our heroes riding on the top.

Werner, who is driving the coach with the coachmen fast asleep loses control on a bend, the coach tips and slams down in its side, injuring those riding on top and the wheel coming off. All passengers have to band together to lift the coach while Gunner puts the wheel back on.

Upon reaching a secluded part of the forested road the coach is met by a grisly sight. Feasting on the dead body of a four seasons coachman is a gruesome beast, and someone who Wandy thinks he recognizes from Delberz.

The horses bolt dragging Hultz with them off into the forest and Rolf, the mutant, charges the coach. He leaps up and goes for Gunnar. Without a thought for his own safety, Johann draws his sword and tries to defend Gunnar who falls off the top of the coach. Johann cuts down the mutant saving the passengers and his body slumps to the floor. Gunnar is heavily wounded and Hultz is missing as the party take stock.

Screams are heard from round the bend and something rushes from the undergrowth. Everyone braces and aims their weapons, but at the last minute they realise its Hultz.

Inside the coach the noble passengers are terrified and are being calmed by Phillipe as horrifying bestial roars are heard round the bend.

With the coachmen injured and the passengers afraid, our party creeps up the undergrowth to take a peek.
Johann stealths through the trees and is greeted by a horrific sight of a Four Seasons coach which has been brutally attacked by a band of beast men. A plan is required.

Johann sneaks round the back of the beastmen while the others begin attacking them from afar with sling bullets and arrows. The beastmen attack!
A battle ensues as the beastmen rush the party. Gnoblar scores a direct headshot and drops one of them as Werner meets them head on.
Gnoblar continues to fire as Werner battles on multiple fronts. One of the mutants looks confused as Johann dives out of the bushes and runs the beastman champion through from behind with his sword. Wandy rushes out bravely with his dagger and manages to strike one of the beastmen – it does no damage and now looks annoyed.

The beastmen, seeing their numbers start to fall and the tide of battle turning feel their morale falter. Johann joins the fray and now they begin to overpower their enemies. They cut them down and the remaining beasts flee.

After the battle with the mutant beastmen, our heroes find themselves standing over the body of someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to Werner, they have found a letter of inheritance about his person. Looks just like Werner you say? Inheritance to collect you say? A dastardly plan is forming…

Phillipe, the ladies and book dude remain round the corner at the coach, one of the coachman is hurt, the other is freaked out. As the party are wondering what to do next they hear the distant sound of horses approaching from round the bend..

Road wardens arrive and the team, battered and bleeding, with bodies strewn around, begin to explain as best they can. Once their story is corroborated by the other coach passengers they are once again on their way

Session 2

Wondering how to get started? Here are a few tips:

1. Invite your players

Invite them with either their email address or their Obsidian Portal username.

2. Edit your home page

Make a few changes to the home page and give people an idea of what your campaign is about. That will let people know you’re serious and not just playing with the system.

3. Set the Campaign’s game system

Let people know what game system your campaign is using, and give your players access to any system-appropriate character sheet templates that have been made. You can use them for NPCs too!

4. Choose a theme

If you want to set a specific mood for your campaign, we have several backgrounds to choose from. Accentuate it by creating a top banner image.

5. Create some NPCs

Characters form the core of every campaign, so take a few minutes to list out the major NPCs in your campaign.

A quick tip: The “+” icon in the top right of every section is how to add a new item, whether it’s a new character or adventure log post, or anything else.

6. Write your first Adventure Log post

The adventure log is where you list the sessions and adventures your party has been on, but for now, we suggest doing a very light “story so far” post. Just give a brief overview of what the party has done up to this point. After each future session, create a new post detailing that night’s adventures.

One final tip: Don’t stress about making your Obsidian Portal campaign look perfect. Instead, just make it work for you and your group. If everyone is having fun, then you’re using Obsidian Portal exactly as it was designed, even if your adventure log isn’t always up to date or your characters don’t all have portrait pictures.

That’s it! The rest is up to you and your players.
