Chateau of Blood
This is the wiki for a Call of Cthulhu non-mythos one-shot.
The PCs:
Anton Berrudczeck, Shady Merchant.
Miss Belinda Chadaver, Dutiful Daughter.
Mrs. BEATRICE CHADAVER.
She is a formidable English matron, genuinely
fond of her daughter, Belinda, but also is vain, hypocritical,
and without good taste, as her overly-beribboned
clothing, and ostentatious
jewelry betray. Chief
amongst the jewelry is a
heavy silver chain and crucifix
fashionable this season
in Sl Moritz.
She lw; two things on her mind. The fust is an advantageous
marriage for Belinda, and secondly the forthcoming
meeting with her husband in Karlensburg, whose
small salary cannot support her current level of income.

He is traveling to take up a position as secretary to the French ambassador. Chateau Of Blood 37 This duchy is an outpost of civilization. The journey lw; been rough, the food dreadful, and the company lacking all flair-an ignorant English woman and her immature daughter (to whom his code of honor demands that he attend), a boorish merchant, and the merchant's commoner pupil. Phillipe longs for gentle company. PHILLIPE d'lSIGNY, Age 24, Penniless Nobleman STR12 CON 11 SIZ13 INT14 POW 13 DEX 14 APP 16 EDU 18 SAN 65 HP 12 Damage Bonus: +104.
