It is the year 2521, in Wolfenburg. The city is currently under siege, and we have all come here for different reasons but are now stuck. The dwarves are in town because one of Paul’s relatives, a smith, sent word that he was dying and wanted to pass on his secrets. The Elves are here looking to see what happened to their enclave, it was seemingly wiped out. A huge army of marauders from the north, the Chaos Wastes, attacks without warning. Everyone within the town has been press-ganged into military service to defend the city against the horde. Beast men have surrounded the city. When the siege occurred, the Chaos Moon cried tears, and where the tears fell, madness ensued.

The city has a river that runs through the center of town north to south. On the eastern side of the river the city has been decimated, and the defenders hold the west bank of the river. A sergeant calls us out and asks us to come over. With his is a woman in a nun’s habit with a huge warhammer necklace on. He introduces her as sister Brimhilda, one of the Brides of Sigmar who needs our help retrieving a statuette called “The Nine Virtues of Magnus the Pius,” which is supposed to protect the city. It is located in the town hall, and looks like a set of Russian nesting dolls as a gift to Magnus from Kislev. Each of the nine dolls represent an aspect of Sigmar. They have a way to get us across the river safely so we may get the artifact. Also, they have some weapons and armor for us.

Ziman takes us to a maintenance passage that goes beneath the river. It is currently raining like crazy. We get through and see that the buildings on this side of the river have been almost completely destroyed by cannon fire. We come upon an overturned carriage, and we see the glint of gold. The dead and bloated corpses of the people in the carriage disgust us, but we search through their loot and find a few treasures. As we are doing this the sky clears and the moonlight is suddenly right on us. A cannon blasts and hits near us. Thorgrim is hit with shrapnel in the chest.

Suddenly we hear the chantings of “skulls for the skull throne” or something similar. There are 35 or so enemies coming at us from the north. We rush to hide and then strike back as the Kurgen come at us.
