Escaping a fire when you! re befuddled can be tricky...  \nPage 6-Scene 2: No time for a Bar-B-Q!  \nA towering inferno, and a burning tentacled beast are amongst the things that keep the PCs hangovers going. They are commissioned to replace a beast from Mephisto!s Marvellous Menagerie.  \nPage 12-Scene 3: Taxing times  \nIt!s not only bandits who prey on those journeying in the woods.  \nPage 13-Scene 4: In to the swamp!  \nFrom burning inn to insect ridden swamp, the PCs day is not getting any better  \nPage 14-Scene 5: A bad sign  \nA battle site suggests that there may be creatures hunting humans in the swamp.  \nPage 15-Scene 6: Cross my palm with silver, dearie!  \nA lovely old lady gives the PCs some fortifying stew and reads their fortunes.  \nPage 18-Scene 7: Argh! Quicksand!  \nA swamp is not a nice place to spend the day...  \nPage 20-Scene 8: Slither!  \n... and not just because of the quicksand, marsh gas, insects and smell.  \nPage 21-Scene 9: The ghost and the bog octopus  \nGretel, a ghost, provides commentary as the PCs try not to drown whilst wrestling a killer octopus.  \nPage 24-Scene 10: The return journey  \nAnd now back through the swamp!  \nPage 26-Scene 11: Look who!s come to dinner!  \nWhere our triumphant heroes return to find that not everything turns out according to plan.  \nPage 28-And finally...  \nExperience awards, financial rewards, and suggestions for further adventures.  \nPage 29-Key NPC & monster profiles  \nStats and stuff.  \nPage 33-Sample PCs  \nSix sample PCs, all ready to head off to grim and perilous adventure.  \nPage 40-Player handouts- flashbacks  \nSo that!s what happened last night!  \nFan Material for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Mr Mephisto!s Marvellous Menagerie  \nMr Mephisto!s Marvellous Menagerie  \nIn this WFRP scenario the PCs awake in a burning inn, help put the fire out, and then go on a quest to a nearby swamp for Mephisto the Menagerie owner to replace one of his star exhibits that perished in the flames. The PCs return triumphant only to find that not everything turns out all right in the end...  \nGM!s notes  \nThe scenario is written with ease of use in mind, and is relatively straight forward, but do read the whole thing through before running your game.  \nPre-generated characters have been provided, but the adventure can easily be used with any party of PCs. As well as the WFRP rules you! ll also need the Bestiary, and a normal pack of 54 playing cards.  \nYou have 240 minutes, [starting... now](starting... now)!  \nThe scenario is designed to be run in 4 hours, but to ensure that everything runs smoothly and your players aren!t denied the ending, you! ll need to keep a careful eye on timing. To help you, suggested start times for the scenes are given (assuming a leisurely 10:00 start), along with suggested maximum durations. A few of the scenes are optional, so if you! re running behind schedule these can simply be skipped.  \nIt!s better to hurry things along a bit around the middle of the game to ensure the finale can be completed. Combat is usually where a lot of time can be lost, so if necessary ensure the PCs land that killed blow sooner rather than later! A few combat rounds dramatically described is more enjoyable than endless dice rolling.  \nFlashbacks  \nThroughout the game there are points where the GM should give a secret note to one or more of the PCs to reveal some information. Most of the information is not critical, but it serves the purpose of making the players suspicious of one another. A full list of flashbacks to give to the PCs is","cbCairT8devQs30G","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairT8devQs30G","pdf",2217547,41,"English","# Contents\n## Scene 1: Do you smell burning?\n## Scene 2: No time for a Bar-B-Q!\n## Scene 3: Taxing times\n## Scene 4: In to the swamp!\n## Scene 5: A bad sign\n## Scene 6: Cross my palm with silver, dearie!\n## Scene 7: Argh!
