The Vault in the Undercity

Death stalks the streets of Spittle-Fields — an elusive killer committing horrible crimes. A century past, dread gripped the teeming slum of the Tenements. Women were savagely murdered by a shadowy figure who vanished into the fog. The murders stopped, but the killer was never found. Now a fresh murder awakens fears that the Ripper has returned.

Guild Architect Nicolas Hawkmoon's greatest achievement was his discovery that buildings can be empowered by suffering, soaking up the despair and terror that reverberates in the soil and stones. His greatest and final edifice was a Vault deep below the streets of Spittle-Fields. Now the party must enter the Vault to thwart his plan to return from beyond the grave…

This scenario is Part III of Return of the Ripper, an urban horror investigation adventure for DCC RPG. Three linked adventures will run across the weekend, but each part can be played independently.
