Preface:

	If you are a player, and your JM does not have access to the Internet,
feel free to make a copy available for him/her.  However, it is in your
best interest to avoid reading the adventure, as doing so will likely
spoil your enjoyment of it.

I. Introduction:

> 	Markthegn Tarrant, the ruler of Grandmark, has summoned you to his
> private conference room, in the town of Tremayne.  You had entered his
> service, but this is the first real call to work that he has issued. 
> With no small amount of shame, he explains the reason for the gathering.
> 	Before ascending the throne, you well know, he was perceived as a
> foolish and wasteful young man, more concerned with personal pleasures
> than the land.  This changed once he had inherited the crown, and the
> serious man before you bears little resemblance to the foppish young man
> he was.  This he readily admits, but it is his past which haunts him now.
> 	With chagrin, he explains that he and some of his companions (including
> the current mayor of Lisolet, the port town) had frequented the Rose
> Quarter, a section of Lisolet that is the haven of whores.  The Scarlet
> Madame, who had not attempted to curry favors with her clientele since
> their rise to power, has asked for an investigation.  It seems that
> several prostitutes have been brutally murdered, and the Madam is
> applying pressure to have them solved, or else she will disclose the
> activities of Tarrant and his companions.  While the unmarried Markthegn
> can withstand the scandal, it would cause the collapse of sections of
> the government, and it could prove troublesome as he continues his
> program to bring temporal power back into the hands of its rulers.
> 	He makes it very obvious that no expense is to be spared, but the
> normal channels may not be involved.  The investigation must occur, and
it must be kept very quiet.

	How the HP's choose to equip themselves is, of course, their own
decision.  Tarrant will provide any reasonable equipment request.  He
will also furnish what little information he has, which is summed up
above.  Having done no investigation himself (it was his friend, the
current Lord Mayor of Lisolet, who asked for help), he knows nothing of
import.
	If the HPs seem seriously out-classed (from the JM's perspective), and
they have pledged themselves to his service, it would not be
unreasonable for Tarrant to provide a small amount of magickal
equipment/weapons.  While he has been active in seeking new items, he
does not have much of tremendous power.  The following were provided to
the author's players when the scenario was run:

Greatsword of Light: This barely-enchanted sword will glow with a soft
light, equivalent to torchlight, for a period of 1 hour once per day. 
The weapon is not enchanted in any other way, but it would be sufficient
to harm Hanah.

Arrow of Direction (per Mythus Magick)

Sword of Skill: Despite the high-sounding name, the Sword of Skill has
little enchantment.  In the hands of anyone unfamiliar with swordplay,
it will confer the equivalent of Combat, Hand Weapons at a STEEP of 20
(or raise the wielder's effective STEEP to 20 if it is lower), granting
the sub-area of Swords, one-handed.  It is otherwise unremarkable.

	Once equipped, the HPs will be sent to meet with the Lord Mayor of Lisolet.

II. Lisolet:

	The HPs will be conveyed to Lisolet in an appropriate manner,
discreetly.  As in Tremayne, the audience granted will be very private. 
The meeting takes place in the evening, after nightfall.  The Lord
Mayor, one Frances Roderique, meets with the party.  He is noticeably
relieved at their presence (it means that his friend, the Markthegn, is
answering his plea).
	He will quickly describe the murders, of which there have been four. 
The information gathered so far points out some similarities: each
victim was a prostitute, each victim was slain at night, and each victim
looked as if she had been partially devoured.  Three of the four worked
for the Scarlet Madam, but given the Madam's clout in the district, that
is a fair representation.
	If pressed for further details, he will confide:
> 	"I didn't really want to mention this, because the witness in question
> is somewhat, um, unreliable, but there was an observer of the most
> recent attack.  The witness heard what he thought were scurrying rats,
> and he saw some furry forms that seemed to be about the right size."
> Roderique wipes his brow and sighs.  "On the other hand, he was drunk at
the time, which means he may have been hallucinating." 

	If the HPs ask about his own involvement with the Scarlet Madam:
> 	The Lord Mayor draws himself up with a look of disdain.  "That is
> something I will not discuss, as it is inconsequential to your purpose
> here."  He scowls.  "The Markthegn indicated that you would be discreet.
 I would advise you to act it."

	If the HPs ask for more equipment:
> 	The Lord Mayor glowers.  "The Markthegn should have already seen to
> your needs."  He sighs, "but if you really need something, I'll see what
> I can arrange."  [Note: The Lord Mayor can get most normal equipment,
> but he will want it back at the end of the adventure.  Should the HPs
> discover in the course of their investigation that they are lacking
> something, he will attempt to provide it.  He has no access to magickal
equipment.]

	Once the HPs have no further questions, they will be dismissed with
directions to the Grand House of Pleasure, where the Scarlet Madam
awaits.

III. The Rose Quarter:

	After leaving the Mayoral Mansion, the HPs will probably want to
investigate in the Rose Quarter (although not necessarily).  The
remainder of the adventure consists of encounters, culminating in a
grand encounter and battle within the sewers.  Some suggested clues are
provided below, along with some suggestions for misleading clues.  Which
the JM chooses to use, of course, will influence the length of the
adventure, and it might be a good idea to add some or change others to
suit the style of the campaign better.

The Grand House of Pleasure

	Provided that the HPs proceed immediately to the Grand House of
Pleasure, they will be greeted with first-hand evidence of another
murder.  The victim was found in an alleyway near the Madam's house, and
she was one of the Madam's girls.  Several priestesses are gathered
around the body, along with a number of other prostitutes and what
appear to be a pair of private guardians.  The HPs should be allowed to
take a look at the body (which appears to have been chewed upon,
although the damage is such that almost no one can tell what did the
damage - it is too torn), but they will quickly be ushered through the
perfumed and barely lit house into a back parlor, where the Scarlet
Madam awaits.
> 	The office, if that is indeed what it is, appears to be decorated more
> like a lady's boudoir.  Perfume hangs heavy in the air, and erotic
> paintings cover the walls.  The red-headed woman looks up from her desk
> (which appears to be quite comfortable, if the padding on top is any
> indication), and she sighs.  With a gesture, she beckons you to seat
> yourselves on the various pieces of furniture around the room.
> 	"It appears that whoever is behind this has struck again.  Frankly, I'm
> getting worried.  My girls depend upon a few priestesses of Venus and
> our guards to keep us safe, but it apparently isn't working."  She looks
> around, sighing.  "The last two victims were both girls from my House,
> and they were among my best."  Noting your looks of apparent
> incomprehension, she goes on to explain.
> 	"They're my leaders, they report directly to me, and they each watch
> over several girls.  In essence, she was one of my lieutenants, although
> this isn't exactly a military organization."  She shoves her papers to
> the side.  "I've been told to help you in any way I can to solve this
> riddle, but it might be best if you were watching those most likely to
> be struck.  Each of you will guard one of the remaining 'finest', since
> the priestesses and guards are already spread very thin."  She sighs
again.  "This will probably be a rough one."

	A generic set of OPs are at the end, along with some suggested names
(sprinkle around as needed).  If the JM chooses to involve the HPs with
the day-to-day (or perhaps that should be night-to-night) operations of
the Grand House of Pleasure, then the JM should feel free to make up
details as needed.
	The following are clues which may be used here:

One prostitute witnessed the most recent attack:
> 	"Aye, I saw it, I did!  'Twas a most fearsome beast, lookin' like a
> rat, but walkin' on its hind legs!"  The harlot shudders (an intriguing
> sight for the male HPs, probably).  "Horrible, with gleamin' teeth and
> dark fur.  The eyes glowed red, they did, and blood dripped from the
> claws and teeth!"
> 	[In point of fact, the prostitute in question did not actually witness
> the attack, it was flickering shadows after the attack, and her
> imagination provided the rest.]

One guard, fresh upon discovering the body:
> 	"There was blood splattered all over the wall, and she were a right
> mess.  I don't like t'think about what might'a done such a thing, but
> there were some footprints, maybe.  Kinda clawed lookin, headed towards
> the gutter.  Might'a gone into th'sewers, for all I know."
> 	[He is telling the truth, although he did not actually follow the
> footprints, and if the HPs look for them, they won't see them.]

	If the party pursues the above clues, then they will likely find their
way to the Underground Merchants, a small company that trades with
Subterranean AErth races.  The Scarlet Madam is on good terms with the
UM, and she will be willing to give the HPs directions to their enclave.
	[Note: When I ran it, I created a small hole behind the Grand House of
Pleasure which led into the sewers, and one of the HPs managed to track
the murderer to the hole.  In addition, there have been more abductions
than the ones known, some having been used to feed Hanah's small army of
ghouls, some to be sacrificed to the Vengeful Virgin.]

The Underground Merchants

	The UM Consortium is actually a family of merchants who specialize in
the exotic.  Although their primary customers are the underworld of
Grandmark (which is centered in Lisolet, and is fairly extensive for a
town of 10,000) and nearby residents of Subterranean AErth
(specifically, some Stoties, Ferretfolk, and Trogs), they also have
contact with Phaeree.  If the clues above are described to the
merchants, they will mention the subterranean race nicknamed 'Ratties'
who would act in such a manner.
	If the HPs accept this, and return to the Lord Mayor with such
information, the following sequence of events will occur:
	(1) The Lord Mayor will send a punitive force against the Ratties.
	(2) The Ratties in the area will be driven off by the military.
	(3a) Another prostitute (not one of the Madam's) will be slain.
	(3b) [simultaneous] A group of three or four Ohdow (a neutral
short-tempered race of elves, much like the Trow) will appear to the
party, coldly threatening.  The Ohdow should be of sufficient power to
stop the HPs if they try anything, and they will explain that the
Ratties do not act like that, and if they did, they would leave much
less meat behind.  Further, the Ratties are hunting in other territories
now, and the Ohdow are not happy with the plague.
	(4) If the HPs have not passed the above on to the Lord Mayor, a
Thunderbird ally of the Ohdow will appear in a shared dream and point
out that they continue to make the mistake.
	(5) The punitive expedition will be called off.
	(6) The HPs will need to seek elsewhere for clues.

The Shrine of Venus

	Given that some priestesses of Venus are employed at the Grand House of
Pleasure, it is not unreasonable for the HPs to visit the temple, and it
might even be the first stop on their agenda.  Should they do so, and
speak to one of the ranking Priestesses (not a difficult feat if any of
the HPs are particularly attractive), an augury will be performed, and
they will be left with the following wisdom:
    "Seek ye the corrupted, where defiliation and expulsion are one!"
	This refers, of course, to the fallen Vestal Virgin.  Make a secret
check against each HPs Religion K/S (if possessed) at DR "Hard".  Upon
success, this will trigger the memory that certain Goddesses will expel
Priestesses from their clergy should they lose their virginity (in this
case: Minerva, Diana, and Vestia).
	Inquiries at the three temples will be met with reserve, and raised
eyebrows, but none will remember any recent expulsion.  However, as the
HPs are leaving the temple of Vestia, they will be quietly approached by
one of the initiates, who will mention that one of her fellow initiates
had braved the night a month ago, and had not been heard from since. 
Her name in the order was Hanah, named after one of the greatest martyrs
to Vestia, who died to save herself from being ravished.
	Further information will not be volunteered, although another augury
cast with this name will indicate that Hanah lives in a dark and dank
place.

IV. The Sewers:

	The HPs will eventually need to find their way into the sewers, either
by tracking Hanah from another attack (details to be created as needed),
or by following auguries cast.  Regardless of the means of reaching the
sewers, they are dank, dark, but not filled with waste (the Ratties
normally scour and scavenge in the tunnels connected to some
out-of-the-way places in Subterranean AErth).  Due to the recent
military excursions (if any), or perhaps just out of plain irritability,
several rabid Ratties will attack the party while down here (statistics
per the AErth Bestiary, p. 160).
	Given that Hanah has been granted a small amount of control of several
ghouls, they are likely wandering through the sewers, and they will
probably attack HPs on sight.  Hanah directly controls four, but the
being she serves controls more than a dozen.  Sprinkle them around the
tunnels as appropriate (statistics per Necropolis, p. 188).
	The JM should select an appropriate method of tracing Hanah back to her
lair.  Some suggestions include:
	(1) A trail of clawed prints and bloodstains on the walls leading to
her complex
	(2) Mysterious screeching and chanting, dripping with malice
	(3) An abduction of a victim (perhaps even the Scarlet Madam!) rather
than the slaughter she normally performs, and the screaming, struggling,
and sacrifice thereof
 
V. The Vengeful Virgin:

	Regardless of how the HPs reach the shrine, this is what they will
eventually see:

> 	Before you, in a cavern lit by glowing fungus, is a terrible scene. 
> The walls are smeared with bloodstains, some fresh, some blackened.  The
> stench is that of a charnel-house, sickly sweet, the smell of death. 
> Tattered hangings line the walls, and some discarded clothing makes a
> heap, apparently something akin to a bed.
> 	Near an alcove in the opposite wall, there is a small brazier, burning
> with some sort of dark flame, almost black in appearance.
> 	Against the wall, there is a statue.  Well, not quite a statue, but a
> rough image shaped of hardened clay.  It appears to be of a naked young
> woman, attributes accentuated.  A real sword is clasped in its hands,
> raised, and a malevolent expression has been placed on the face.
> 	However, your attention is drawn from contemplating what sort of sick
> artist would have carved such a statue to a rapidly moving form,
> claw-like hands extended towards you!

	Hanah has just noticed the party members (if she is in the process of
sacrificing, add appropriate description), and she is moving to attack! 
Note that the HPs will need to spend a CT of observation if they want
more than a rough description (a ragged, humanoidal form, with claw-like
hands and disfiguration).
	If Hanah is having a really rough time, or some sort of additional
challenge is needed, she will turn to the statue and beg, "I have served
thee faithfully, oh Vengeful Virgin!  Help me, thy servant, in her hour
of need!"  In this case, the statue comes to life (see the Vengeful
Virgin in the OP section for full details), and, if needed, additional
Ghouls will pour into the chamber.
	With the destruction of Hanah, the attacks will stop, and everything
will return to normal (well, until the next adventure, anyways).

The Black Flame: This item consists of a brazier burning with Negative
Heka.  It begins with 200 Heka (when the HP's reach the shrine), and it
regenerates 10 Heka per hour, or 100 each time someone is sacrificed to
it.  There is no practical limit to the amount of Heka which can be so
stored.  It also grants to its owner the following powers:
	Summon Rat Swarm: By expending 5 Heka per rat, Hanah can summon a rat
swarm to her person, which will arrive in 1D3 CT's.
	Return to Sanctum: By expending 50 Heka, Hanah can transport herself
and any small items carried immediately back to her shrine, provided she
is within a mile of the shrine.  For every additional mile distant, it
costs another 10 Heka, and the transportation of a held living being
will cost an additional 50 Heka.

[Note: if the Black Flame is not destroyed, it will eventually
possess/be possessed by someone else, probably a witchcraefter or other
servant of the Nether-realms, and it will become a long-term thorn in
the HPs collective side.  In such a case, it is recommended that the JM
pick a suitable Netherbeing, either a Demon, Devil, or perhaps an Evil
Atlantlan deity to associate the Black Flame with.]

VI. Conclusion:

	If the HPs manage to defeat Hanah, they should be rewarded.  If they
are permanently in Tarrant's service, he will let them keep the
equipment he gave them at the beginning (if any), including the magickal
weapons if they were given to the HPs.  The HPs should be given, in
addition to any AP/S or AP/X for roleplaying or other exceptional play,
2 AP/Gs for each clue successfully followed (to a maximum of 10 AP/Gs),
plus another 5 upon the defeat of Hanah.  The adventure is not
monumental enough to warrant more than 15 AP/Gs.
	The Scarlet Madam may be gained as a Special Connection as well, given
that the HPs have performed a service for her.  While her influence is
primarily in the shadowy world that thieves move in, it is nonetheless
significant.
	Tarrant will not abide needless destruction, however, and any clues
which are fumbled and result in the death of any innocents will
definitely bring retribution of some sort (at the least, lessening the
rewards and reclaiming equipment, especially the magickal swords).  In
such a case, no AP's should be awarded for the clues, although they will
still have earned some experience and knowledge from the adventure and
might be granted from 1 to 5 AP/Gs.

Commentary & Description: Some suggested names include: Celeste, Brandi,
and others.  The girls of the Scarlet Madam are generally moderately
literate, charming, and skilled in the courtly manners, and are the most
elegant of courtesans.  She and her girls have high respect among the
gentry, although the lower classes can also make use of the 'trainees'.

Commentary & Description: Some suggested names include: Celeste, Brandi,
and others.  The Scarlet Madam's best girls act as her lieutenants. 
Generally, they are better at just about everything than her normal
girls, and they are her highest class call girls.  Most have at least
minimal skill in Herbalism (the better to stave off diseases and other
illnesses), and most have cultivated friendly relationships with the
priestesses of Venus.

Commentary & Description: The guards of the Grand House of Pleasure are
not incorruptible, but there are some things (such as fine young flesh)
to which they are nearly immune.  They are good enough for normal
fights, and typically armored in leather with some metallic pieces, and
armed with long swords and clubs.  A few are exceptional fighters, and
they typically become captain or one of the sergeants.  The total
complement at the Grand House of Pleasure numbers 20 (15 guards, 3
sergeants, and 1 captain).  They rotate shifts, act as bouncers, and
provide 24 hour coverage of the building.  On certain occasions, they
also escort the employees around for shopping and the like.

Commentary & Description: The Priestesses of Venus assigned to the Grand
House of Pleasure total three.  They are typically completing their
Novitiate, and will become true Priestesses after their duties at the
House are completed.  While here, they serve as spiritual guides,
teachers of Herbalism and other lore, and they are the mentors of many
of the girls.  Occasionally, one of the Scarlet Madam's girls will go on
take a Vow to serve Venus and, eventually, enter her Priesthood.  Such
girls are almost inevitably assigned back to the Grand House of Pleasure.

Commentary & Description: Hanah was, some time ago, a Vestal Virgin, one
of the handmaidens of Vestia (so to speak).  While a new initiate into
the order, she was raped one night while travelling through the town of
Lisolet.  Like all Vestal Virgins who are so defiled, she would have
been cast out of the order, save only that she was mortally wounded. 
With rage born of dreams denied, and severe hatred, she cried out for
vengeance with her last breath.  A dark strength infused her, and she
rose again, and ate the heart of the ruffian.
	It was not enough, and she knew that the whores and trollops who
frequented the Rose Quarter were to blame.  She hid within the sewers
and Shallowshadow, where she has erected a shrine to 'Vengeful Vestia',
the 'unseen true side of the great lady' which she believes gave her
strength and control over several ghouls and the rat population as the
tools of vengeance.
	Note that Hanah, the daughter of some well-off merchants, but orphaned,
was given a Ring of Hardiness (5 additional points of armor) by her
parents, and this is in addition to the natural armor above.

Commentary & Description: The Vengeful Virgin was a statue carved by
Hanah to appropriately honor this 'dark side' of Vestia.  Born of her
twisted mind, the statue has been able to come to life, although the
force animating it is indeterminate.
