A scenario for Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play set in Bretonnia
cover blurb:
He felt the yearning again. For many weeks now he had known the feeling. This powerful voice from deep inside his soul. Tremouille! The ignorant fool! Carrying away his treasure, his precious. The delicately formed fibres of gold! The diamonds cut to perfect minute shapes! As he slipped inside his dark, hooded robe, his eyes were fixed on the stiletto on his workbench. He reached for it and gently caressed its steel. Tremouille. You shall pay for taking what is mine. Was and is and always will be.
from the Introduction:
This adventure is based on a classic German novella by E.T.A. Hoffmann called Das Fräulein von Scuderi. If you think that most of your players will identify the source immediately, don't use the scenario. However, it is my experience that most players only come to think of possible analogies to stories they know after the gaming session, because they are too busy role-playing and having fun to think about literature.
The adventure is set in the city of Gisoreux, the capital of Bretonnia. I have used unofficial material on the city kindly provided by Peter Butterworth of the Bretonnia Project. While I have made much use of the political situation of Bretonnia and its unique atmosphere, I have not included lengthy descriptions of the city and its locations and districts. This should make it easier for you as a GM to create your own version of Gisoreux or transport the plot to a different setting.
