He returns upstairs only to discover the false Klumpenklug has left. He reveals to the others &#8211; sans Enfys, who has apparently gone home for the night &#8211; that Klumpenklug <em>may<\/em> be dead. They initially think he&#8217;s drunk.<\/li>\n<li>Upon returning to the barracks, J\u00f6rg is summoned to the captain&#8217;s office where Sergeant \u00dcberraschung is standing watch. They have a long conversation, complete with some quite excellent brandy, though J\u00f6rg feels like he missed something.<\/li>\n<li>The following morning, Enfys is still missing and they look around for him, with S\u00f6ren learning that he was seen heading north with Klumpenklug the night before.<\/li>\n<li>The half shift passes quickly, though Coppertong is at the forge all day. J\u00f6rg debriefs Magistrate Richter, and then word spreads about the witch hunter attack upon the Steinh\u00e4ger merchant house. Around midday, the three at the Schaffenfest encounter J\u00f6rg&#8217;s parents who are meeting with Josef Quartjin over some beers.<\/li>\n<li>Christoph is convinced that he sees Sibylle, the witch who cast spells upon her, and pursues with S\u00f6ren following, but loses her in the crowd.<\/li>\n<li>The three head to the Blitzen mansion to inquire if Enfys is here, but the young man who answers replies that there is no guest of that name here. As the three are heading back, they observe a great number of witch hunters and their soldiers storming the Teugen Mansion. They are quickly tasked to serve as road guards (since they&#8217;re still wearing the Watch uniforms.) Johannes Teugen is slain.<\/li>\n<li>And possibly worse, Morrslieb, the Chaos Moon, has risen full.<\/li>\n<li>Now with dark setting in, the three pick up Coppertong and head to the barracks where J\u00f6rg reports to Sergeant \u00dcberraschung, relating everything he knows about Klumpenklug. She demands S\u00f6ren elaborate, then orders them back into the sewers to retrieve this body. S\u00f6ren is very irritated at J\u00f6rg for this.<\/li>\n<li>They stop briefly at the Crossed Pikes for a drink and so S\u00f6ren can discreetly telling Baumann to have the body placed in a good spot.<\/li>\n<li>And then, grudgingly, they enter the sewers again with Morrslieb glaring down at them&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>GM Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nosh is unavailable for a number of weeks due to work, so I decided to have Enfys abducted and will turn his disappearance into <em>the<\/em> investigation for the PCs while the witch hunters tear apart the town, looking for Franz Steinh\u00e4ger and dealing with Ordo Septenarius stuff. I&#8217;m sure there isn&#8217;t a secondary plan going on somewhere&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>For old school grognards, the changes here are definitely noticeable. Johannes Teugen was <em>the<\/em> bad guy in the original adventure (sorta) and I just killed him off, so clearly, my run has evolved a bit, mostly due to that assassination of the witch hunter (that I totally intended on being a session in and of itself until the player jumped the gun and caught me flat-footed).<\/li>\n<li>Players always confound and the decision by J\u00f6rg to advise \u00dcberraschung instead of them heading to Klumpenklug&#8217;s off-base housing threw me for a minor loop. So &#8230; it&#8217;s back to the sewers!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Town Watchmen GM: Rigil Kent Christoph J\u00e4ger (FX Engineer) J\u00f6rg Lange (Gigermann) Queen Coppertong (Mel) S\u00f6ren Roth (Ronnke) Live Stream Playlist YouTube Podcast 1&#215;09: Chasing Shadows S\u00f6ren stares at the corpse of Sergeant Klumpenklug and coordinates with Franz Baumann over moving the body.
