CONNORS  \nAbout the Adventure  \nLands of the Dark Wicche is a Call of Cthulhu: Dark Ages adventure set in early 15th century Germany. The adventure trades typical Lovecraft fair for a dark, folklore-inspired scenario. The adventure can easily be adapted to other game systems (a GURPS Middle Ages and 5Eversion is also available at [www.1shotadventures.com](www.1shotadventures.com)) .  \nLands of the Dark Wicche is suitable for three-to-six investigators. The end of this adventure includes six pregenerated characters so Keepers and players can get started right away. Keep any extras in case one of the investigator perishes early...  \nCharacters introduced for the first time in the adventure are noted in ALL-CAPS. Skill rolls are in Small-Caps. Sections marked with a map  are side-quests and adventure hooks, and not important to the overall plot of the adventure. Sections marked with a person  are opportunities for specific investigators, notably the pregenerated characters from the end of this adventure.  \nAdventure Background  \n15th century Germany is a chaotic, violent land. Powerful knights and lords rule safely from their strongholds, but traveling on the dark roads is perilous. Bandits and desperate men prowl the land between towns, knowing justice is often only carried out with the aid of corruption, bribes, and blackmail. There is little magic in this version of Germany, although the peasants often whisper about witchcraft, curses, and devil-  \n1  \nworshipping cults. Fortunately, the great saints seem to keep watch of their superstitious flock.  \nThe adventure in centered in Franconia, near the town of Würzburg. Just a few years ago, the town fought for independence against its ruler, elderly Bishop Gerhard. Angry at him for harsh taxes, the town destroyed his new fortress and occupied his cathedral, hoping the king would intervene on their behalf. He did not, and the bishops’ knights and noble allies crushed the insurgency. Over a thousand were killed, four of the town’s patricians were drawn and quartered, anda hundred rebel leaders were beheaded or drowned in the River Main. It was a black day for Würzburg.  \nThe bishop assigned his illegitimate son, Jakob, along with one of his knights, Wilhelm Geyer von Giebelstadt, to rule Würzburg. The knight is fiercely loyal to the bishop, and has been a harsh ruler, demanding reparations from the town on the lost lives and damages to the bishop’s properties.  \nNow, only 1,500 people reside in the town, though another hundred fugitives hide in the free forests in the vicinity. Oneof those fugitives is the woman Otilie, whose whole family was slaughtered by Wilhelm Giebelstadt during the crisis. Turning from folk magic to full-on worship of Lucifer, she was granted dark powers, which she swore to use to destroy Bishop Gerhard.  \nOtilie’s plan have been in the works for a year. First, she seduced a high-ranking soldier, Vick of Volksmanhagen, and convinced him to poison the bishop’s chief bodyguard so as to take his place. Next, using Vick as a spy, she identified  \nv1.21  \nBishop Gerhard’s likely successor, the priest Adam of Osnabrück. Already a corrupt and power-hungry priest, Adam was easily swayed to swear allegiance to the witch.  \nWith Adam on her side, the witch now plans to murder Burgomaster Jakob, knowing the death of the bishop’s son will cause him great anguish. Once Jakob is dead, her lover Vick knows that is the signal to kidnap the bishop and drag him to the witch of the woods. There, she will sacrifice him to her dark masters.  \nAdventure Synopsis  \nThe adventure begins in Würzburg, at the tail end of the witch’s sinister plot. In part one of the adventure, the investigators witness the murder of Burgomaster Jakob. Afraid of an uprising, the knight Giebelstadt orders them to take the body of Jakob to the bishop, who is currently in the northern village of Bergtheim.  \nIn part two, the investigators travel the dangerous road to Bergtheim.
