WFRP: Help wanted (21)

“My Anton is missing! He hasn’t been home for a week, and his mother is sick and needs his care. He went to work for The Fish at the dockside but now he’s gone! Please, anyone, can anyone help!”
 – A distraught young woman pleading for help in the Drecksack Bezirk. 

Will the player characters respond to the call for help? Anna Shipulin and Anton Trotter is supposed to be married as soon as Anton earns enough money for them to move from Drecksack to Sindelfingen district. But now he is gone! Anton has a penchant for get rich quick schemes, but he invariably fails and ends up with nothing but dreams of a better life for him, his fiance and his crippled mother. But how will the players react? There’s not much money in a mission like this … unless Anton’s disappearance is a part of a much greater enigma!

WFRP: Help wanted (20)

“Are you discrete? A writer or an artist? Have books, need someone capable of copying. No knowledge of languages required, but previous experience with ink and feather critical. Interested parties should ask for Herr Schmitt at the the Black Velvet tavern. Generous compensation.”
– Something for those of the academic persuasion. Posted at the University Library.
Yeah, well, this one should make even the most trusting character feel unease. But the compensation is supposed to be generous, and a student of the humanities need to eat. Or drink, as it may well be. The text could be heretical, an insidious Slaanesh tome forbidden to read, or it could be a description of how to find the long lost tomb of a fallen hero, or tracts that are copied and passed out to incite riots.
Taking a cue for sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the job could also be a cover for something else, such as a way to guarantee the character’s absence from home while chaos cultists use his abode for nefarious plotting. And also, “Herr Schmitt”? Any character taking a job from a mysterious “Herr Schmitt” needs to keep eyes and ears open for ill doings!

“Have lost heirloom in River Reik. Dropped from Reiksbrücke. Will pay 100 Gold Crowns for retrieval. Contact Jürgen Vasser at the Hangman’s Tavern.”
– A difficult job indeed. Notice posted at several inns along the river Reik.

This little job could open up for splendid opportunities for the players to show their ingenuity. Will they try to find a submersible boat? Or invent a diving bell? Or simply dive from a boat? And what is it that’s been lost? It might indeed be Herr Vasser’s heirloom, but more probably something he has stolen. Maybe from a mage?
So decide what’s been lost, toss this note out to the players and things will roll along nicely from there. Don’t forget that the Niederhafen Pike should play a part in this adventure!
