Editing Chateau of Blood

This is the wiki for a Call of Cthulhu non-mythos one-shot.









The PCs:

ANTON BERRUDCZECK. He is clever, cowardly, sly, fat, and ugly. He loves his belly more than any human being, although he dotes on
the memory ofhis deceased mother. Anton is a merchant traveling on urgent business-a bank bill that he must present within the week at Karlensburg, before
news reaches the capital that the bank has crashed. He has brought with him his pupil in trade, his distant cousin Yurik, whom he considers foppish
and over-educated.  Cooking and wine are dreadful in provincial Karlellstein.  Berrudczeck has with him a case of good red wine
and a sackful of garlic, in the hope of making his stay tolerable.

Quote: 'I like to bargaln about everything'


Miss BELINDA CHADAVER. She is a modest, innocent English girl, not 100 clever, pretty and fashionably
dressed. She longs for a girl chum, someone to confide in, like the ones she left at her dear boarding school.
While not mercenary, she believes that her chance for success in this world depends on an advantageous
marriage. She travels with Mama to the town of Karlensburg, where Papa has accepted a minor diplomatic position.

Quote: 'Yes, ma-mah'

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.

~IPE d'ISIGNY,
Baron. He is handsome,
charming, and
melancholy. He is sadly reduced
in circumstances, his
ancestral lands lost in the
Revolution, his inheritance
squandered by his father,
his own earnings spent to
pay numerous debts of
honor after his father's suicide.
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.

E DROZOPCZECH. This youth is plain, determined,
intelligent and scrupulously honest, although
extremely poor. He has been taken into
trade by a distant relative, Anton Berrudczeck, for whom
he intends to work hard, although he has had already
occasion to note the other's
shoddy business practices.
He informs his cousin
whenever he spots opportunity
for innovation or expansion
in the business.
