Bad Moon over Kemperbad

On the 03 of April 2026, I ran the 10th sessions of my home Enemy Within Campaign. Evening, 4th of Nachexen, 2512 On board the Berebeli our heroes discuss their plan for stealing the figure head of the broadalbin and come to the conclusion that actually, this isn't the smartest plan. They have no one experienced with stealth on a river, no tool, and surely the noise of the tools will rouse the boat's watch. Instead, they set out for town to come up with a better idea, and get some liquid inspiration. Finding a pub in Grissenwald they grab a beer chat with the locals and try to come up with a plan. While the other are furnish Josef with a beer, Diethart falls in with a group of mercenaries on their way up river, and picks up some gossip. According to his new friends: "There is a new crew of wreckers west of Kemperbad, nasty buggers too." "The Elections in Kemperbad last year were a bit of an upset. Several labour guilds pitched in together to buy a seat on the cou...

  On the 27 of March 2026, I ran the 9th sessions of my home Enemy Within Campaign. Morning, 3rd of Nachexen, 2512 Our vagabonds awaken early on the 3rd with vague ideas that they might have more work, but absolutely no certainty which offer they will take up.  Over porridge they discuss their options. Erik Kleinsen mentions he has people he'd like to visit in Kemperbad and points out that Josef's tutelage would be invaluable.   Diethart Drechsler points out that the patronage of a man like Oldenhaller might be valuable and that more coin is alway useful, but also points out that there are some really strong reasons for him to take the job guarding Maria Della Miragliano, he is particularly vocal about his opportunity to work as a guard to her person (I offered him a 0xp jump to the second rank of the guard career) . He is less keen to mention Maria Della Miragliano's 5 ranks in Attractive. Maria Della Miragliano at the grand opera of Miragliano. Connie sug...

 On the 6th and 13th of march 2026, I ran the 7 and 8th sessions of my home Enemy Within Campaign. late afternoon, 2nd of Nachexen, 2512 The group arrive at Herr Starks shop. Oldenhaller's men move to secure the back alley and the fron the of the store. Our vagabonds however decide that they should probably check the warehouse outback before returning to the shop. Moving within, discover crates full of sausages, and stumble into Stark, another man, and two mutants. The vagabonds charge, and a moment late blades are crossed. The Vagabonds charge puts the diseased creatures on the back foot, and within a few blows they drop one of the mutants while dodging and weaving returned blows.  Then Stark raises an amulet and bellows for Rudi.  From one of the side rooms, a horrific tentacled and diseased  mound of flesh emerges and charges the Vagabonds. For a moment, it seems that the vagabond have had the tables turned on them, but Diethart drops Herr Stark, even as he is las...

 On the 20th of February 2026, I ran the Sixth session of my home Enemy Within Campaign.  Noon, 2nd of Nachexen, 2512 It isn't until noon that our vagabonds manage to gather, break their fast, and start on their day.  Kleinsen and Uhl, are gripped by a profound hangover holding up Drechsler, who despite having drunk just a much is in fine form. With some vital in them, the vagabonds head first to the green bottle, where, the night before Erik Kleinsen has left the butcher Albrechte in the care of the publican. However, by the time they arrive, the vagabonds discover that the butcher has gone to work, apparently no worse the ware for his indulgence. So, they swing around and head for Albrechte's shop. Upon arrival, they speak with Albrechte, and with his permission return to shed behind the shop, to investigate more thoroughly.  Upon looking around the place, and seeing the hatch Connie reasons out that if Stark is to blame for the abduction, as th...

  Session 5: Mostly drinking... On the 13th of Febuary 2026 I ran the Fifth session of my home  Enemy Within  Campaign.  Evening, 1st of Nachexen, 2512 Confronted with what appears to be a human leg in the half-light, Erik rushes in, only to find that the leg in in fact Albrechte's Prosthesis. Turning to Hanna's amulet, Erik is able to confirm that the locket is Hanna's.  Over at Rudi's room; Connie continues her search. Amongst the mans belongings she discovers a sheet of greasy paper, with writing on, and is able to get Wolfgang and Leopold to read it for her, revealing that the paper was the wrapping for a gift from Emil Stark to Rudi, that was given as an apology for Emil's behaviour at a party hosted by Herr Fleischer. Before Diethart leaves Chez Louis,  he digs a little deeper into the recent jewellery thefts. Identifying who was working when the thefts happened. The list includes a Phillipe, Heinrich, Little Heinrich (who is ironically very larg...

Which ever route the Vagabonds take out of Nuln, I am going to need some rumours. Some for the River and some for the Vorbergland. Rumours on the River There's a new crew of wreckers west of Kemperbad, nasty buggers too.  Foreshadows the wrecker's encounter (See Planning: Travel out of Nuln (part 2) ). The Elections in Kemperbad last year were a bit of an upset. Several labour guilds pitched in together to buy a seat on the council, and now town politics is all gummed up. Sets the scene for  future events in Kemperbad, if the Vagabonds choose to spend much time there.  Someones' been buying up all the charcoal produced 'tween Nuln and Kemperbad, and it's been pushing up the price of charcoal in the 'ole o' Reikland. It'll push up the cost of everything soon 'nough. After all, charcoals used in a lot of stuff. Foreshadows Blackpowder week If your stopping in Kemperbad, and have an interest in trade, you could do worse than to pick up a copy of the m...
