inventor who always used his sloppy creations to
perform tasks he’s too lazy to do, these constructs
were successful to varying digress but he never
stopped making them. Sigrid came into ownership of
the scrapyard from another noble named Greta Hurst
who tricked Sigmund into buying it. Sigmund is
protective of his property and stands “Anything on my
LAND is my PROPERTY” this includes anyone he finds
trespassing who he captures and forces to work in the
scrapyard indefinably.

FAMILY AND FOOLS

You duck behind a pile of scrap as you narrowly avoid a
hulking construct. You watch with baited breath as the
metal creature walks away when you spot a sloppy sign
"Workers Barraks," in grayed paint. You enter to see a
dismal room lit but flickering candle more akin to a
prison then any barrack you have seen.

ODENWALD
This section gives all the information you need on the
Odenwald family.

SIGMUND ODENWALD
The patriarch of the family and vile inventor. He is the
harsh owner who runs the scrapyard like his personal
dictatorship. Anyone who is found inside the
junkyard without his permission is taken captive and
worked until they die. Sigmund once had a wife
named Olga Cutter with he had five children with who
wanted live somewhere safer then Sigmund’s
ramshackle junkyard. After a harsh argument Sigrid
crushed his wife under a pile of scrap. Olga body was

voice.

anyone to harbor her and free the other workers.

her father. Ludmilla is unaware her father Sigmund already knows her plan and sets a trap for the adventurers.

5. Norbert Odenwald wants alchemical agents from all corners of the domain. He needs the party to do it since he
can't leave.

6. Ullrich Odenwald has sent admission letters to Ludendorf Univeristy a month ago and it hasn't come back. He
suspects his father has hidden the letter from him. He asks the players to investigate his office to try and find the
letter.

7. A rampaging Cadaver Collector programing has failed and now it seeks to kill as many creature as possible.
Ullrich needs the players to trap the construct so he shut it down.

8. Judith Subdon has stated kidnapping travelers and forcing them to work under Sigmund. The Ludendorf
Constables need help investigating the case before more people go missing.

9. Olga Cutter's ghost needs to hide her body before Sigmund finds it. She asks the party to get her body out of the
scrapyard before Sigmund can reanimate it.

10. Gertrude has started drawing pictures of a ghostly figure similar to Olga Cutter. One of the Odenwald children
seek out the adventurers to find out the source of the imagery. The players will be sent on a goose chase to find Olga
Cutter.
