| − | ==Tale of Zhark and Sir Pertwee==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In its Golden Age an army of the North invaded the Pale . Their champion, a holy knight called Sir Pertwee, settled the final battle by entering into single combat with the hobgoblins' champion, Zharkov. Zharkov was not killed but fainted in the battle. Sir Pertwee spared him, believing that he would never anyway recover from the drubbing of the fight.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Zharkov, or Zhark, was a legendary hobgoblin who lived for much of his life in the human world as a highwayman, pirate and mercenary. As a result of his ruthlessness, black humour and daring he became a darling of the hobgoblin gods, who blessed him with supernatural powers. Or at least that is the story from the hobgoblin side. Brother Ericch has been told that Zhark the Wicked was touched by an Arch-fiend in the womb and had his diabolical good luck and powers since birth. As a Wandering Friar, though, he has his own independent opinion on the matter.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If Zhark is revived, the world will have to deal with a major hobgoblin adversary who will inspire the resurgent Greenskins to lose any remaining fear of the unprotected North.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Remembering Sir Pertwee gives BE pause for thought. The Wizards no doubt perished in the conflagration of the Green Rain. But some Knights , with manors outside the smitten cities, have surely survived. And re-established something of their Orders. When will they re-enter the North and save the beleaguered towns from the threats of the Pale and Raider ships? Surely they will remember the oaths of defence they swore in their vigil!

| − | A. Society library. +2 to monsters' investigation rolls when looking up occult info. Charlotte gets a +1 to occult rolls by borrowing needed books for spells.

Witch's spellbooks: Charlotte can use the books to provide exact wordings and incantations of r complex spells, but she needs the books close by, without having to bicycle in and out of the city. Gains an extra hero die for any spell rolls. Can also perform otherwise crazy dangerous summon servitor(see table below *) when at home.
| |
| − | C. Donate to the University. Armstrong is enormously grateful and will take a more active part in solving cases-I will roll 3 times per adventure (1d10 with a hero die), with useful info coming in at opportune moments during an investigation...
| |
| − | D. Sell-the Society becomes Rich, so that resources are available for adventures, buying equipment, hiring help, etc.
| |
| − | E. Split. Some books are sold, some donated to MU, some taken by Charlotte and others kept at the Museum. A reluctant +1 to relevant rolls for this mealy-mouthed compromise! the museum has a bit of cash to spend.

The usual suspects. But there are also notebooks suggesting he has time to peep into the [I]Necrominican[/I]. Also some pages copied carefully from Dr Dee's [I]Advices Pertayning to the Perfect Arte of Illusion[/I]. The last explaining his mastery of illusory magic. She has heard of, but never seen this last book, purportedly destroyed after Dee's death.
