The Enemy Within 3: Death on the Reik (1e)
 |
br> "The time shall come when the enemies of Chaos shall relax their guard and pay no heed to the shadows at their backs. Then shall the Great Mutator cause the warped moon to awaken¸ and the beloved of Mórr shall spit upon the lands of The Empire. Where his spittle doth land¸ there shall the weak fear to tread¸ but the possessor of the spittle shall wield great power"
-Extract from Omens and Prophecies of the Seer Unserfrau
The mighty river Reik: the longest waterway in the whole of the Old World¸ stretching almost a thousand miles from its source in the Black Mountains to the sea at Marienburg. The Reik and its tributaries are the arteries of The Empire¸ flowing through the dark forest to link its great cities.
As the river flows untroubled to the sea¸ strange things are moving on its forested banks; and somewhere along its upper reaches a great evil festers and grows. It has lain dormant for over a century¸ but now a prophecy is fulfilled and an unimaginable horror has awoken in the hear of Sigmar's Realm. And the horror is spreading.
The rot must be cut out before it is too late - but first it must be found…
Death on the Reik can be played as a stand-alone adventure¸ or as a part of The Enemy Within campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay¸ continuing from Shadows over Bögenhafen.
A seemingly simple man-hunt turns out to be far more complex and dangerous¸ and adventurers will be pitted against mutants¸ Skaven¸ and desperate cultists before they discover the truth - and a climax which will plunge them into the midst of Chaos.
As well as an extended campaign adventure with 20 pages of maps and player handouts Death on the Reik features an appendix on the rivers of the Empire.
New rules for river navigation and trading are included¸ plus full details on the river boats of the Reik and the people who use them. There are extensive outlines of possible hazards¸ incidents and encounters¸ plus a fully developed¸ ready to play scenario¸ ‘The Maria Borger'.
