Sing for Your Supper



The adventurers are recovering from the events of the sabotage of the new cannon and the rampage of the Abomination through Nuln. Stefan Von Kessel, Zefod, Elgarin and Ga Gon visit the Deutz Elm in the Reiks Platz to look for employment. After witnessing a Sigmarite preacher orating to the crowds, they decide to look into the offer from Herr Fleischer, a butcher, who has a daughter, Hanna, who has gone missing. The heroes decide to take the job and begin by trying to question her best friend, Carla Lindt and visiting the various butcher shops in the Fleischer empire. They discover Hanna was seeing a young man and Fleischer has a feud with a rival butcher, Emil Stark.

They then visit the Gunner’s Arms tavern, where Carla last saw Hanna and learn from two drunk nobles, Wolfgang and Leopold, that their friend, Rudi, has also gone missing. They manage to tack down Hans, but he says Hanna was seeing someone else. Elgarin and Gagon bluff their way into the nobles’ lodgings and find a note from Stark to Rudi, who apparently offended him. The next day, the group visit the Town Hall, to try and track down a clerk who was seen arguing with Hanna at the Gunner’s Arms just before she disappeared. The clerk protests innocence but mentions Stark and Fleischer’s feud and the fact that Rudi was the one who threw Stark out of one of Fleischer’s fund-raising events.

The adventurers go to visit Emil Stark’s premises and find him welcoming as he plays down the feud. They leave and try and sneak into his shop, but succeed only in Ga Gon falling through some stairs. They are then approached by a group of urchins who have a threatening message Stark wanted to deliver to Fleischer. They also agree to show them a shack that Stark is hiding something. They go to the shack and find the creature that was once Hanna, mutated by Stark’s chaotic sausages. They take pity on her but go and seek vengeance on Stark. He escapes by letting a dog with more of hte mutant sausages loose and unleashing Rudi, now another mutant to attack. They kill Rudi and pursue Stark into the sewers. They encounter the evil butcher’s follower, but chase him into the docks. They find Stark on a barge and he unveils his secret weapon – Maria della Miragliano, a singer with a voice that paralyses. Stefan and Ga Gon were entranced, but Zefod and Elgarin attacked Stark and his cultist – killing them both. They spare Maria and take her and Hanna to the Temple of Shallya and Herr Fleischer pays the adventurers for their actions.
