Carrion Call



Whilst enjoying a drink in the Green Bottle Tavern, the adventurers are disturbed by the arrival of an ancient dwarf prospector – Borek Fellhammer, an old friend of Ga Gon. He explains he has found the location of a lost mine that contains untold riches. Ga Gon, Stefan, Zefod and Elgarin agree to accompany him to Zhufbar in the World’s Edge Mountains. They rest and reequip themselves at Elgarin’s family estate before setting out.

A few days into the trip, they discover a fatally injured man, Gustav Vonreuter, on the road. Before he dies, he asks the travellers to tell his family of his fate. They agree as it is on their way. They stop at an isolated village where they witness the locals contacting an ancient ceremony in a stone circle in the middle of the night. They leave the site quickly and soon after arrive at the Vonreuter estate. The family are shocked, but the patriarch, Ondurin Vonreuter welcomes the adventurers into his house. They meet his wife, Sanne and his children, Wilhelmina, who is a bit of a flirt, Anya, who seems to have a very sheltered existence and Sothelin, the taciturn son, along with his granddaughter, Elena.

They are shown to their rooms, and are locked in. The ghost of Gustav appears and warns them his father has dark designs on the adventurers. They break down the door and try and find a way out. They find Wilhelmina and Elena, who offer to help them escape, but at the price of Anya’s life. They then find Anya who just wants to escape the house and offers to lead them to Ondurin’s chambers. They sneak through the house and barge into his chambers where he prepares to unleash his powers against them.

The necromancer attempted to drain the life from Stefan with a Hand of Dust spell, but the priest evoked the power of Sigmar and smashed in Ondurin's skull. Meanwhile, Anfalas, Ezio and Thrunbor had reached the village and found Borek being attacked by a group of Dire Wolves. After defeating the undead, they met up with their adventuring companions but the reunion is cut short as Sothelin Vonreuter attacks them, riding a gigantic undead carrion. The heroes charged into combat and eventually cut down the vengeful warrior.
