Seven Bells Shipping & Storage Co. - GM Sheet

A Bell Too Many

Ruprecht Fondelburgher has a secret—his most competent manager, Ermegart Wechrauch, is not just a trusted employee but his illegitimate daughter and the sole heir to the Seven Bells empire. This fact is known only to him and his opportunistic lawyer, Herr Klas Brechtmann, who sees not a family legacy but a chance for profit. When Brechtmann leaks the truth to Ruprecht’s feckless children, Fronika and Balthasar, they’re incensed. Determined to sabotage Ermegart’s reputation and reclaim their inheritance, they task the conniving lawyer with discrediting her.

The party is drawn into the plan under innocent pretenses. Hired by Brechtmann to make a late-day delivery on behalf of "a private client," they are given a legitimate-looking bill of sale, stamped with a forged Seven Bells seal, and a cart of sealed barrels marked as Reikland Reserve Brandy – Special Order: E. Wechrauch. Their instructions are simple: bring the cart to the warehouse at dusk, claim the order is pre-paid, and unload it directly into the cellar near the gated secure storage. But something is off—the barrels slosh wrong, feel too light, and when one jostles loose on the cobbles, it lets out a muffled thud... and maybe a groan.

What’s really in the barrels? Smuggled goods? Kidnapped witnesses? Bound and gagged imposters meant to “confess” to working for Ermegart? The party must decide whether to follow through, investigate further, or alert someone—like Rüdiger, who’s half-asleep on the first floor but might notice a cellar delivery. The choices they make could destroy an honest woman, implicate them in a crime, or uncover a tangled family legacy no one was meant to know.

Whispers claim the Ruggbroders never paid proper tithes to Morr. When seven of their porters were crushed under a collapsing rope lift, the bells of the local temple tolled seven times for the dead. After this misfortune, the family, haunted by guilt and fearing a curse, adopted "The Seven Bells" as both penance and ward, hoping to keep away further misfortune.

That’s fantastic! I had left the reason for the name up to the GM’s imagination and obviously some people have incredible imaginations 😊

This warehouse was originally designed with Bögenhafen in mind, belonging to the merchant Heironymus Ruggbroder. You could easily use it during The Enemy Within campaign, or even a decade later as the property of his son. Whether it’s a hub of honest trade, a front for shady dealings, or a scene for unexpected intrigue, feel free to drop it into your game and make it your own.

Great work except for one glaring error. WFRP plat maps do NOT Show include scale markings.

For some bizarre reason.

Great writeup as well.

Thanks! Not sure what you mean. Every game master map I’ve seen has a scale - check “Buildings of the Reikland”, etc. Per the post title, this is a game master map.
