I had thought this one up a while ago it was meant as a spin off of my campaign set in Europe. We would play with more players once every 2 weeks and that is why I made up a second campaign but after some thinking and asking the new players what they wanted we decided that they would be put into the already running Campaign.
So we had 3 more players that evening and that was pretty cool.
The concept:
A old Second world war ship that was a medical ship that treated the wounded soldiers of the allies. It was taken over by SS Soldiers and a evil Occultist branch of the ss with their Dr. did a lot of occult experiments on the patients. 70 years later the ship is found in a old Swedish shipyard. The old Captains great grandson found it and brought it over to the us and rebuild it as a leisure ship. And for the grand opening they went to a harbor where a few items from the old times where brought into the ship’s museum. No knowing that the SS’s Dr. his bag would be one of the items and thus waking up the Dr. as a ghost and 3 SS soldiers (One of them was a Sergeant).
Why the Dr. became a ghost was actually a horrible story, the SS guys where doing a lot of occult experiments on the ship, and one of the rituals went wrong and they awoke all the ghosts on the ship (and there where many seeing they died horribly) and they killed off all the soldiers and left the Dr. alive while the ship would be on sea for many years. The Dr. would make zombies out of the bodies of the soldiers but eventually he died and so did the zombies and after that they found the ship and was brought to the shipyard, a lot of stuff was stolen including the Dr.s bag that later would end up back on the ship.
And after the ghosts would awake shit would hit the fan, the idea was that the Dr. would start experimenting again and people would start dying. A part of the experiments would be creating uber soldiers and thus making Zombies as they would be thought to kill.
I had a other idea how would they wake up in a cool way? Well what about the great grandson of the SS Sergeant, he was on the ship and he hid himself on the ship as a crew member. He would perform a ritual to awake his great grandfather and some other spirits so he could gain power by controlling them. The ritual went wrong and the Dr. took care of him and rebuild him as a zombie creature that would do jobs for him.
In Game Stats/Info:
I named the ship the USS Victoria cause it once existed and well it was a medical ship.
Ghost Dr.: Dr. Von Munschausen
Great Grandson of the Captain: Harold Johnson (Captain Harry Johson)
SS Sergeant: Sgt Austerlitz
Great Grandson Sergeant: Carl Larris (Karl Austerlitz)
Where the grand opening was: Lewes, Delaware (Breakwater Harbor)
Harbor where Alicia got on the ship: South Shore Harbor Marine (New Orleans, Lousiana)
Dr. Von Munschausen
Motivation:
He has experimented on this ship when the SS took it to experiment on the patients on it. He is back and he will do the same as he has done before. The soldiers are his minions and they are not to be reasoned with.
Attacks:
Spirit 6
Telekinesis 3
Possession
Manifestation
Mind Control (through talking)
Scalpels
The SS Sergeant and his soldiers:
Motivation:
They actually do not have much Motivation as the Dr. is controlling them.
Attacks:
Spirit 4
Telekinesis 1
Manifestation
Grabbing hearts and hurting
Rifle with Bayonet (Have not used it as it would be able to kill some characters in one shot)
Carl Larris (Grandson of SS Sergeant):
Motivation:
He was raised into a Necromancer cult where his great grandfather belonged to and he wanted more power. After he heard that the ship was found he wanted to try to harvest the power of the Dr. and he great grandfather.
After the Dr. Rebuild him he had no motivations anymore as he was under control of the Dr.
Zombies:
Motivation:None, under control of the Dr.
Attacks:
Lunging
Biting
Notes about Zombies:
My intention was to create easier monsters to defeat so they could have some fun with the zombies so I made them as they where normal humans but slow and not stronger as the zombies Dajana and Billy encountered before in the episode Tessa you Suck. If one of them would be bit then it would have no effect on them except the damage, no infections.
