Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Scenario: The Ritual

Skretth’s Dark Lore (Warp) Spells

Introduction

Armour of Darkness

Casting Number: 10

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Bit of blackened leather (+2)

Effect: 1 AP to every location and +20 bonus to Concealment Skill Tests.

This adventure is suitable for inexperienced or

beginning player characters. It is set in Delberz,

but could be used in any urban setting. It pits

the PCs against Skaven and their human allies.

In this adventure, the PCs witness a cultist,

Peter Tavelli, chasing and seemingly trying to

kill a young man, who begs for their help.

Pursuing Tavelli leads the PCs to a dangerous

underground complex where a band of Skaven,

led by Skretth – an unusually dangerous

specimen – have joined forces with a group of

human cultists. Can the PCs prevent the terrible

ritual these groups are planning, and save

themselves into the bargain?

Death Frenzy

Casting Number: 18

Casting Time: Full action

Ingredients: 2 drops blood from rabid animal (+2)

Effect: Ally within 18 yards gain Black Hunger.

Flensing Ruin

Casting Number: 25

Casting Time: Full action

Ingredients: Piece of elf, dwarf or human skin (+3)

Effect: Target within 10 yards takes S5 hit for a number of rounds equal to caster’s Magic Level.

This is an adventure in which the PCs are put

against significant combat opposition, and at

the very least the PCs should include at least

two (and preferably three) characters that can

look after themselves with some confidence in a

mêlée.

Skitterleap

Casting Number: 8

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Hind leg of rat (+1)

Effect: You or ally within 18 yards teleport to location in line of sight.

This adventure was originally printed in White Dwarf # 99, and was later re-printed in the

Games Workshop publication ‘The Restless Dead’, and the Hogshead Publishing

supplement ‘Apocrypha 2: Chart of Darkness’.

Vermintide

Casting Number: 14

Casting Time: Full action

Ingredients: A wheel of good cheese (+2)

Effect: All creatures within template centred on caster take Damage 1 hit, except caster. On following round

swarm moves 12 yards in direction of caster’s choice, then control is lost.

Background

Grey Seer Skretth is insane: a renegade Skaven with an impossible goal. He controls a

small group of loyal but misguided Clan Skyre warriors. Recently, he and his patrol

exited the Under-Empire (the web of tunnels that riddle the Empire) into the sewers

beneath Delberz. The original map showed no such exit, Skretth looks upon it as fate.

Skretth is somewhat paranoid and delusional, and therefore chose not to make contact

with the Skaven of Under-Delberz, instead choosing to remain in isolation to perform his

“research”.

Warp Lightning

Casting Number: 11

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: A slender copper rod (+2)

Effect: Magic Missile , 48 yards and Damage 5. Caster takes Damage 1 hit for every 1 on the Casting Roll.

On a previous mission in Sylvania, Skretth had the extended opportunity to study the

works and practices of a skilled Necromancer. The things he witnessed were too much

even for the Skaven’s warped mind, and he began to seek solace in the drug Mandrake.

Constantly hallucinating from the effects of the drug, the young Skaven became

fascinated by experiments he could not hope to understand. He reasoned that for bodies

to be re-animated, there would have to be Warpstone present, as he believed the

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Scenario: The Ritual

substance sparked life into all things. If it was there then surely it could be extracted? If

he could find out a way to extract it, he would be able to return to Skavenblight, and the

accolades he felt were his due.

Skretth’s Petty Magic (Warp) Spells

The Delberz sewer network has provided him with an opportunity to collect specimens

and practise rituals for his flawed quest. Human cultists in the town, members of the

Horned Rat worshipping cult named “The Poison Claw”, have been made aware of the

groups arrival and are aiding Skretth in his unofficial mission.

Favour

Casting Number: 5

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Bit of human flesh (+1)

Effect: +5% bonus to your next test, or steal Favour of the Horned Rat from any Skaven within 16 yards.

The adventure leads the characters into the sewers beneath the city. There they will

discover that a band of Skaven have recently taken up residence down there, and, with

the aid of their human servants, are carrying out bizarre rituals and sacrifices to their

deity, the Horned Rat. The characters must try to eradicate (or at least drive out) the

Skaven, whilst attempting to save a wealthy citizen from their clutches in the process.

As the Skaven presence is significant, the characters will need to have their wits about

them. Repeatedly choosing to fight will lead to a swift and bloody demise…

Ghostly Flame

Casting Number: 6

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Pinch of Warpstone powder (+1)

Effect: Light equivalent to torch burns for 1 hour. May be thrown as a magic missile with Damage 1.

Claw Mark

Mark of the Horned Rat

Casting Number: 3

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: A rotten tooth (+1)

Effect: Target within 16 yards passes WP test or gains blemish lasting 1D10 hours for –5% Fel.

The following encounter should occur as

the PCs are walking back from a late night

drink one evening at their local tavern.

They should, however, have a good deal of

their equipment with them, as they will

have no time to go and pick up anything

left in their lodgings.

Rat Thrall

Casting Number: 3

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Bit of mouldy cheese (+1)

Effect: Summon communicating and obedient rat for 1D10 hours.

As they are strolling through a particularly

dark and quiet street, a door suddenly

bursts open from one of the expensive

houses lining the road. A young man,

dressed only in his night-clothes, rushes

out yelling, “Help me, someone, please!”

Vector

Casting Number: 4

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Wad of Dung (+1)

Effect: Target within 16 yards must take T test or be at –20% to Resist Disease for 24 hours.

As he catches sight of the characters, he

turns and races towards them. A large

bruise covers one side of his face. As he

races over, gasping for air, a dark shape

appears, silhouetted in the doorway of the

house. The man gasps out one last

sentence, “They’ve got my father… Don’t

let them take him… Hurry…” before an

audible twang comes from the doorway,

followed by a much closer thud.

Wrack

Casting Number: 5

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Tear from a human child (+1)

Effect: Target within 12 yards suffers pain and –5% to WS, BS, Ag for 1D10 rounds.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Scenario: The Ritual

Zombies

The unfortunate young man collapses into the arms of one of the characters (perhaps

one who is drawing or who has already drawn a missile weapon of his own), choking

and coughing up blood. A crossbow bolt is buried in his back. He is dead.

INT

WP FEL

GM’s Notes

Talents: Frightening, Mindless, Shambling, Undead.

Trappings: Unarmed.

Special Rules:

Mindless: Zombies are animated corpses with no mind or spirit of their own. They have

no Intelligence, Willpower, or Fellowship, and never take or fail Tests based on these

Characteristics.

Shambling: Zombies are relentless but slow. They cannot take the run action.

The crossbow quarrel landed in the back of Ernest Dralst, son of Klauss Dralst, a

wealthy townsman. Both lived in the rather plush house from which Ernest just emerged.

Ernest was asleep in his upstairs bedroom when he was awakened by someone moving

about below. After waking his father, the two of them went to investigate, but were leapt

upon by three intruders in the kitchen. Klauss was swiftly overpowered. Ernest,

however, being younger and fitter, managed to break free and run out on to the street.

Peter Tavelli, a Poison Claw cultist, raced after Ernest in an effort to prevent him from

alerting anyone, after having first ordered his companions to take Klauss back to Skretth

by way of an old, forgotten, stone passageway which travels right up into the house

through a flagstone in the cellar. Meanwhile, Tavelli has succeeded in shooting Ernest,

but not before ho managed to reach the PCs.

As soon as Tavelli fired his bolt, he retreats back inside the building and watches the

adventurers’ reaction through the hall window. If they pursue him, he will lead them into

a trap in the house before trying to get back into the cellar and into the secret passage.

If he is caught or cornered, he will seize a capsule of Black Lotus Venom from around

his neck and bite in to it. These capsules are carried by all members of the Poison Claw,

and contain the equivalent of four very strong doses of the drug ( Toughness Tests for

each dose are Challenging (-10%) , for a total –20%).

Skretth’s Lesser Magic Spells

Such a capsule may not necessarily kill, though the GM is encouraged to ensure that

this does not happen too often. The use of these capsules is accepted by all members

of the cult, and even if the poison does not work, a successful Hard (-20%) Torture

Test will be necessary in order to extract any information from them, such is their loyalty

to Skretth.

Aethyric Armour

Casting Number: 5

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: Link of chainmail (+1)

Effect: Gain AP equal to Caster’s Magic Level for 6 rounds.

The adventurers will probably chase Tavelli into the house in an attempt to apprehend

him. The characters should remember the dying mans last words, expressing the need

for speed.

Silence

Casting Number: 10

Casting Time: Half action

Ingredients: A gag (+1)

Effect: Target within 24 yards must pass WP test or be silent for rounds equal to caster’s Magic level.

Should particularly cowardly adventurers refuse to enter the house at once, the

adventure can still be brought back on line. The Skaven will be very interested in

capturing the party, since they are the only (living) people who know what happened to

Klauss. They may be grabbed during the night and thrown into the cells in the sewers

(see Into The Sewers, below) to await sacrifice. The PCs will then have to escape –

Klauss will already have been sacrificed by then, so they won’t have to worry about

rescuing him anymore.
