Selaa Dunesh: The Seducing

For the Storytellers eyes only:

Read through the adventure once before playing it to get an idea of its entirety.

The characters must perceive things in an innocent light until the end is too near and

they’ve put much to stake already. A good storyteller will keep his players at ease

about the situation until things go awry.

All things seem simple and straight forward, a group of heroes helping a

village, but not everything goes as planned and it is up the to Storyteller to ensure that

pace of the story is kept in check and not sprung too soon. A firm grasp of all the

impending events will aid in the pacing of the story no matter which way it goes.

Enjoy.

Overview:

Baroness Darnia von Ehrhard. She will

one up the villagers by asking the

characters to take no payment from her

peasants, instead she will pay for their

services such that it is. The reward is

substantial (and relative to what the story

teller wishes for his/her campaign). The

idea is to lure the characters into this

short story.

Unknown to all, save the servants

and guards of the Keep owned by von

Ehrhard, she is a worshiper of Slaanesh.

Lord of Lust. She will try to seduce the

characters into committing acts of

depravity and scandalous virtue. The

whole point of this story is to throw

the characters of your campaign into a

den of cultists. Some parties will lean

towards this path without aid from you

(like mine did) and that is okay too…..

This adventure was designed for

four characters in their first careers.

These characters should have at least

half their advances taken. With a little

adjustment to names, places and stats,

Selaa-Dunesh and be incorporated to any

place in the Old World.

The course of events in this story

will take a night or two to play out. Our

heroes, such as they maybe, aid in the

defense of a small Talabecland village.

Where vicious and evil Beastmen plague

and raid the small village, ravaging the

populous. The villagers will plead for

their help, and most noble hearted pc

should agree.

However, they are to meet with

the local lord of these lands, the

While the characters deal with

the Beastmen, the Baroness does her

best to play upon the characters every

desire. They may have a maid or two

for the night to do with as they please.

They may enjoy the finest of meals,

enough to make the largest man sigh

with delight. Every decadent thought is

catered to at the Baroness’ keep, there is

nothing out of the question, nothing so

wrong that it is not given or provided.

Should they wish to whip a boy, one will

be fetched.

The true pressure of the story is

on you the Gamemaster to bring your

characters to this gently and slowly.

Some groups will want more details than

give here, some less, that I leave up to

you the GM to deal with and dish to

your group for you know them better

than I and if they will succumb to

debased pleasure.

Ultimately we hope they prevail

and be good until the bitter end. After

the threat of the Beastmen is over, while

at a dinner of such grandiose and

reckless behavior, that without a doubt

the characters must protest, they

confront the baroness. A fight should

ensue between the characters, the

baroness and her host of soldiers

(thinned somewhat from the fighting

with the Beastmen).

Of course once the heroes defeat

the baroness their sorry little lives

become even worse as they are accused

of murdering the Baroness von Ehrhard,

a member of good standing in the courts

of Grand Duke Gustav von Krieglitz.

The Warhammer world is a dark one of

ominous dooms and twisted evil fates.

The characters are doomed to hang

before the very peasants the set out to

save.

Having been good up until this

point the villagers will cry for mercy on

behalf of the characters and demand to at

least allow the characters a chance to

prove their innocence. Impressed by the

backing of an entire village, the

authorities are willing to give the

characters a chance. Anyone who can

convince that many Imperial citizens to

support them must have done something

great.

The characters prove the cultist

worships of the Baroness and are

allowed to go free. The hope is that

they remain true to their gods and beliefs

and eliminate a chaos cult, or they

succumb to their own inner desires and

forsake their gods who do not look

lightly upon such matters as faith and

betrayal. Those who remain true to

their path are rewarded in their own

ways. Their gods are pleased by loyalty

and rewards come for their good

behavior. Likewise those who wish to

be bad and evil will be rewarded as

befits them.

Scene One: The Great Heroes:

Read aloud or paraphrase:

Dark and dim the boroughs of

the Old Forest loom and fade into the

distance. Strange calls of strange

creatures are heard, the sound distorted

so as to make it impossible to tell from

whence they came. The road is a

dangerous path, and one that you’d

been walking for days. Seemingly

endless, save for a brief respite in the

dingy and smoke filled sitting room of

some old roadhouse halfway back to

Talabheim. You clasp the worn and

used grip of your weapon, knowing that

it would likely be all too soon before

you used the device again.

Aye, the Old World is a

dangerous place to be at the best of

times and down right deadly others.

Especially out here in one of the oldest

forests in the Empire, hence its

namesake. All manner of wicked

creatures and twisted mutants haunted

the deeps darks of even this seemingly

peaceful wood. The unwary were dead

on the roads of the Empire, dead as a

Sylvaninan Count. You quicken your

pace, noticing the subtle yet persistent

change in daylight. Out here in the

wilds the night was your enemy, and

those outside at night were rarely heard

from again. Or they were in league

with the darker forces of the wood.

Here it was folly to be out past sunset.

Soon a turn in the road reveals

an opening to a field, less than one

hundred yards ahead of you. Just

seeing the green fields of cultivated

crop, smelling the cows and dung on

the warm summer wind, brings a tear to

your eye. Still, it says ‘people’,

universal for safety, and shelter from

the chaotic world. You step out into a

man-made clearing, the road leading

onwards towards a small village built

around two hills. On top the hills you

can see watchtowers, one on either

peak, commanding an excellent view of

the surrounding landscape. A wooden

wall, likely made from the many trees

felled by the villagers in the making of

the clearing, runs the perimeter of the

village and what would be a gatehouse

blocks the way.

The defenses are simple but

effective. Any determined assault with

siege weapons would smash the feeble

town, but it would keep most brigands

and animals at bay.

A tall plume of black smoke

raises from a section out side the town.

Fires burning something foul which

carries on the wind; the smell of

burning hair and flesh. Maybe it is the

source of the foul smell embracing your

nose.

From afar you hear the ringing

of a bell coming from one of the watch

towns in the small village.

1 As they close with the town they

will notice:

The gate is closed and there are

five armed men on wooded towers above

you. They are equipped with bows and

axes or other appropriate farm tools.

They would like to know what the

characters want.

Their response is based upon the

characters themselves. If they are clean

cut and dressed in plate armor, the

response from the soldiers will be good,

if they are dingy and dirty they will be

brushed off like scum.

A few Bargain (Easy) checks

may get them in the door. The peasants

need heroes to fight off the Beastmen;

they are interested in the characters

helping them. Therefore even anti-

heroes can be taken in warmly.

(You can have the characters role play

this and coax the info from the weary

peasants. Or they could roll a few

Gossip (Easy) checks. Personally I

prefer to roll some dice hum and ha and

make them have a conversation.

2 They will want to know what is

burning and what is going on. Have

the peasants answer.

“’twas last night they been a

comin’ ere!” a grizzled old man says

from atop his fifteen foot perch.

“Beastmen I tell ye! A whole thick o

‘em , smashed the south wall and made

off with Vern Unster’s daughter. Fine

lass she was to, me be tellin’ ye!”

save the town from

the Beastmen.

- A sign posts the

population at 52, (not

counting four recents

deaths, the girl makes

five).

“ Been comin’ round now ‘bout

three weeks ‘er so. Once ‘n a while

like.” Yells a young boy on the other

side of the palisade wall. Almost a man

he is but at that awkward state where

everything is new and difficult.

“Usually they be ‘takin’ the cows ‘n’

such stuff.”

This serves to take focus off the

main characters of this story, the

Baroness and her amulet. It is hoped

that the characters will see a brief one

swing adventure, save the town from the

baddies, and collect the reward before

moving on. Do not dissuade that

theory. Lead the characters on, the

more willing they are to fall for the

Baroness the better. The folk of the

town offer to feed, and tend the

characters no need for charge, provided

they agree to track down the Beastmen

and slay them.

While the characters are tempted

to help the village, a group of soldiers

(5) in service to the Baroness Darnia von

Ehrhard ride into town. They quickly

take notice of the adventures and begin

to ask them questions. Mostly in the

nature of the following:

Soon there are is a small herd of

children on the hill side watching this

whole episode with undivided attention.

Any Perception (Easy) check will allow

this group of children to be noticed.

The characters will soon have a small

fan club of village children who are

praising Sigmar that a group of heroes

have come to save the village and the

people.

- Have your characters

roll a Fellowship

(Moderate) test, if you

wish, and for every

ten they score under

their ability they gain

a fascinated die hard

fan (up to .4% of the

towns population).

- The purpose of this is

to inspire the

characters desire for

personal fame and

glory. Ones own

personal vanity for

admiration and glory.

The children

propagate this by

telling all they see of

the heroes who will

- Who are you?

- Where you coming

from?

- Are you willing to

make some coin in

service to the

Baroness von

Ehrhard? Coin made

by putting a sword

arm to use?

Read the following:

The sound of many hooves,

distinct clink of chain on mail armor

announces their presence before they

truly ride. Huge Averland warhorses,

the largest to be found in all the

Empire. Only slightly smaller than

those bred by the Knights of Bretonnia.

Five fully armored and armed guards

ride casually up the road that runs

through the middle of the quaint little

village. Like a river itself with little

branches to leads off to the outer

reaches of Rangenhof. These five ride

like they own the roads. Yellow and

gold was the color on their shields

broken by a ‘Y’ shape of red. Upon the

background of their heraldry ran a

river purple in a sea of stars.

The late afternoon sun gleams

from their armor in little slivers of

angled metal as they come to rest just

before you. The wicker of their

mounts masks the faint creak of worn

leather and hand grips on pommels.

“Speak yer name ‘n purpose ‘n

this village!” The lead among them

calls. Two at the rear ready heavy

cross-bows and level them your

direction while the remaining two begin

a slow flank.

could well mean they are the law.

Such villages are bad places to make

enemies among the law makers since

even whim is often enough for justice to

fall.

These guards are just wary, not

about trouble makes, but because what

they do is troublesome, at least what

they do behind the closed doors of a

keep. Answer as many of the questions

as the characters have. They will be

open about the raiding bands of

Beastmen. In fact it is just such a

reason they have need of mercenaries.

The pay is likely to be hansom, but they

would need to talk to the Baroness about

such deals, since they are just guards and

soldiers themselves.

The guards will talk about the

following subjects freely:

- The Beastmen: Have been

raiding now for about two months. It

started with just a few, which were

tracked down and killed. However, in

the last weeks the attacks have been

heavier. Last night a group attacked the

village, and if it wasn’t for the Baroness

leaving a squad of troops here, the

village would likely have been squashed

flat. They desperately need the aid of

the characters to help eliminate this

group and wipe out whatever is

organizing this band of beasts.

Let the characters answer what

ever they wish. Then continue.

“Name’s Alaric, surgent o’ the

Baroness von Ehrhard’s guard!” He

says, obviously taking you for

something better than what could be.

Well, at least not taking you for

brigands and thieves.

“Are ya able nough’ ta sign on

fer some sword work then? Or are ye

more scholarly types?” You feel

relieved that they aren’t taking ill to

your story, since being on this land

The Baroness: Is generous, kind,

and beautiful. She has been a god send

to the people of this area since her father

passed on. A fair and benevolent ruler

over her subjects. Even the local

population agrees to this. The people of

Rangenhof love their Baroness, and it
