DEADLY DISPATCH
•
This adventure should only take one or two sessions of play,
but by the end, the Characters will know Chaos isn’t the
only threat to the Empire. This adventure takes place in the
town of Ubersreik, but with little adaptation could be set in
any of the river towns throughout the Empire. However, the
adventure requires a location with relatively strong Bretonnian
connections.
INCLEMENT PRESENTS
It’s early summer as the Characters pass through Ubersreik’s
Artisan’s Quarter not far from the Teufel River. Suddenly,
the weather turns foul. The Characters find themselves at the
mercy of a unexpected squall, immediately followed by a heavy
driving rain. This catches them outside and unprepared for hard
weather.
Folk surrounding the Characters dive for cover, swiftly moving
their goods under tarps, and pedestrians rapidly clear the streets
around them. As the Characters attempt to escape the lashing
of the rain, a voice calls out to one of them by name, or so it
seems…
a
Dventure
s
uMMary
One of the Characters is approached by a courier bearing a
far-travelled package, apparently addressed to them. The parcel
contains a cunning puzzle box that holds occult items of a most
necromantic nature… and wasn’t addressed to the Character
at all! The package is expected by a ruthless necromancer,
who is using a riverwoman captain as a ‘face’ for his activities
in Ubersreik. The necromancer needs the package’s contents
to assist in his scheme to acquire the misplaced skull of a
Bretonnian Grail Knight, and will soon unleash a lethal Undead
minion to retrieve his parcel if it goes missing.
The party’s choice of how to deal with the package will help
determine the necromancer’s actions, more than likely leading
to him unleashing the Undead on Ubersreik to prevent further
interference in his plans. The Characters are in for a harrowing
night; whether they seek to thwart the necromancer or just try
to survive to see the sun rise!

erilous
If your Players are using the pregenerated Characters from the
Starter Kit,
the voice calls out,
‘Sigloben! Mistress Sigloben?’
or
perhaps
‘Mistress Drakenburg?’
if the Witch Hunter is not in the
party. If your players have created their own characters, the voice
should call out the last name of a Human woman, otherwise
you’ll need to tweak the following sections, and perhaps change
the Fisherwoman Gele (see page 5) to suit.
A courier bearing a large backpack with a high wooden frame
and covered with a tarpaulin comes running out of the rain. He
touches his forelock and offers a short bow.
‘Fritz the Fleet at
your service. You are Mistress Sigloben, yes? I have a package for
you.’
It doesn’t actually occur to Fritz to get in out of the rain,
he’s spent so much of his life being pelted by inclement weather
he barely notices. However, he agrees to move indoors into a
nearby tavern if asked.
The parcel proves to be a small, heavily sealed package, bound
up in multiple strings of varying thickness and set with several
wax seals. The ink of the delivery address is smudged, but it
does seem to, more or less, resemble the recipient’s name.
Fritz casually mentions to the Characters that,
‘I was charged
with delivery in Ubersreik, Human woman, to be found along the
Teufel. Some kindly souls pointed me in your direction.’
Fritz has
the recipient sign off (or make an ‘X’ if they’re illiterate) as
having received the package in a small leather book he carries.
He doesn’t mention further funds, which the Characters should
find odd — the majority of couriers receive at least some
recompense from the receiving party for their labour.

Before playing
Ubersreik Adventures: Deadly Dispatch,
read
it through from start to finish at least once. It may also prove
useful to read through the
Guide to Ubersreik
in the
WFRP
Starter Set,
as it provides additional information about the
scenario’s setting. Brushing up on the effects of Fear can’t hurt,
either. (See
WFRP Rulebook 4th Edition,
page 190.) Once you
feel confident with the material, you’re ready to begin.

Fritz is a well-travelled courier with a tongue near as quick as his
feet. He’s a good source of non-local gossip as he is constantly
on the move, ranging from as far south as Dunkelberg to the
northern edges of the Vorbergland.
Characters that want to ask Fritz more can make a
Challenging
(+0) Charm Test,
as it is clear Fritz intends to move on without
further delay. The courier generally delights in a bit of news, but
something about the package has put him off. On a success, he
remains for a while to talk, and down a mug of ale. If the party
asks him further about the package, Fritz notes that the whole
thing has been a bit odd. The delivery instructions were very
explicit...

The box appears to have neither seams nor hinges of any kind. It
is a puzzle box requiring a
Challenging (+0) Intelligence
Test to
solve, though if any player can make a good argument for why
any of their Character’s skills would assist them in opening it,
they can make the test at an
Average (+20) Difficulty.
Success
means they find a series of cleverly concealed panels that slide
open, eventually unfolding to reveal the disturbing contents: a
leather pouch filled with worryingly small finger bones, four
tightly sealed jars filled with various substances, and an ornately
carved urn. The jars are marked with sigils that look like they
were drawn with blood. Similar markings cover the inner
surfaces of the box as well. The jars hold crematory ash, loam,
oil with a sweet aroma, and crushed flowers (perhaps roses).
A successful
Challenging (+0) Lore (Magic)
Test indicates
that some sort of spell has been woven into the contents of the
box and that disturbing them might have some sort of effect.
The black urn is marked with the head of a jackal. To anyone
with the
Second Sight
Talent, the urn nearly sears their eyes
with the roiling waves of
dhar
energy that seem to pool and
overflow from it. Characters have a chance of recognising the
urn’s distinctive style with a
Difficult (-10) Lore (Theology)
Test. On a success, they know such things are associated with
near-legendary distant Nehekhara: an ancient empire obsessed
with the dead, and the first site of human civilisation. If anyone
looks inside the urn, it contains a Human heart, which is still,
occasionally, beating. Characters that specifically open the jar to
discover this fact must make a
Challenging (+0) Cool
Test or
gain 1 Corruption point.
If the Characters fail to solve the puzzle, they may attempt
to hack the box open and reveal its contents. The box proves
highly resistant to damage, but with enough time and effort the
Characters can break it. In this case, all of the jars inside are
shattered and their contents hopelessly mingled, with the brittle
bones being reduced to powder. However, the urn emerges,
intact, from the wreckage of the box.

‘Quite precise as was, extra coin on it and all. Under no circumstances
to be opened, except by recipient. Now I pride, myself, I do – I’ve
never opened any of my parcels, ever. But Hartwicus, one of the
chaps I deliver for… he was mighty shook. “Sort it quick as you can,
Fritz, and be done with it”, he says. Not like him at all.’
If asked if there is anything else strange about the parcel, Fritz
nods. He points to several of the wax seals.
‘Aye. Come a long way, this one has. See here, this seal is the gold lion
of Nuln, right? But this one here, the black tower on red, why that’s
all the way from Estalia! That package has travelled further than
most folk ever will.’
Soon after, he gathers himself and makes his farewells.
‘Sigmar be with you… especially you, miss’,
he adds to the recipient,
and then he swiftly disappears into the rain.

The party is brimming with curiosity to find out what the
parcel contains, though the recipient may want to (wisely) move
somewhere more private before opening it. Beneath the outer
layers of packaging and wax seals lies a beautifully crafted, but
seemingly solid, wooden box. The exterior is made of darkly
stained  and varnished wood, marked with strange sigils and
some scratches, indicating travel damage. No Lore known to
the party can identify the sigils, though if Magister Gruber (or
another character that knows the Lore of Death) studies them,
they look disturbingly familiar…
