The Ghost of Bonnington Nunnery
![]() |
IT'S JUST A VISIT TO A NUNNERY.
Fifty years ago¸ a terrible series of murders took place at Bonnington Nunnery. Now¸ rumor has it that a ghost still inhabits the place¸ appearing when there are visitors to the nunnery during Christmastide. The prior of nearby Murkwell Priory has bid you take a message to the nuns on Christmas Eve and retrieve a book from the nunnery. He knows nothing of the rumors of ghosts¸ but it shouldn't take long. You shouldn't even have to spend the night.
The Ghost of Bonnington Nunnery is a Cthulhu Dark Ages scenario set in 1003 A.D. around Christmastide in Kent¸ England¸ near the village of Bonnington on the edge of Romney Marsh. The scenario requires the Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook and Cthulhu Dark Ages 3rd Edition.
The Ghost of Bonnington Nunnery was originally written as a short one-shot scenario as part of a campaign. It can easily be adapted as a convention scenario and played in under four hours. The players take the parts of two friends of the church willing to do a favor for the local priory and travel a few miles.
