Lady Wachter is dead. Undead undead undead undead!

This adventure continues the storyline of the CULT in VALLAKI from the Curse of Strahd campaign, but can fit easily into any urban setting with a cult.

What dies in Barovia may not stay dead long. Lady Wachter returns to sacrifice innocentsto The Blackness and unleash her undead army!

The fools in the Wachterhaus basement were merely recruits. Lady Wachter’s Cult is very real, and has a very real headquarters in a decrepit mansion in a secluded corner of Vallaki.

Lady Wachter and her cult sacrifice a slow stream of townsfolk to The Blackness, which lives in the ballroom attic, dripping into a disused ballroom for its feedings. Once per season, her cult abducts a Vallakian for The Blackness, a hideous Black Pudding. After the death of Lady Wachter at the hands of the PCs, the cult is in a panicked frenzy. They are about to sacrifice another villager when the PCs enter the mansion. They have abducted and sacrificed several townsfolk already to try to curry the favor of the Dark Powers, and have expanded to arson to sew additional chaos.

The Dark Powers have listened. Lady Wachter has returned.

As if that weren‘t enough, before her death, Lady Wachter had long been creating zombies, herded into the attic, to eventually unleash on all of Vallaki; at the time to blame the Burgomaster’s incompetence to get him ousted. Now she simply wants revenge on the living.

Hey, um.. Could we get some gridless maps? Also one of the maps seems overly fuzzy on part of the map but not the rest. Any ideas?

Black Pudding as a top-down token (without the ring and circle) would also be nice to have for VTT use.

It would be nice if the maps were a bit more robust. Would love to import this into my Fantasy Grounds game.

I would assume that Roll20 quality maps would SUCK in Roll20. I wouldn't want to show them to my players in FoundryVTT. I've been asking the author to post the PPI specs for his maps on his map products, but DMsGuild doesn't inform the author when we ask questions, so: :P

So, for anyone wanting the actual answer.. on the "HIRES-FOR-PRINT" version of the Mansion Maps, the EXIF info claims that they are at 72PPI, but they're actually at 64PPI. The "lowres-for-web" maps don't even have EXIF info.. but for some reason the width was set to 2000 pixels across.. which gives them an irritating PPI of 35.714285714. I don't THINK any modern VTT platform except MapTool would even try to math that out. I might be wrong, though.

For reference, Print maps are generally at 300PPI, and VTT maps are usually at 140-150PPI. Crappy Roll20 maps are ACTUALLY supposed to be at 72PPI, but these are even lower than that. 35~ PPI is so crappy, that FoundyVTT would refuse to display it as a map. It's literally just complete crap.

The grid size is 56x39 squares.. although most of that is the plot that the mansion sits on. Thankfully the scale does appear to be exactly at 1 inch = 5 feet, so the maps aren't a complete loss.

So.. YES, Jonathan is correct,...See more

I fixed the maps myself:

Problems with document loading properly. There are blank spots in text and full pages that don't load. I've tried re-downloading it three times and it still has these issues.

Hi James I'm sorry I'm seeing this SO late! I wish DMG sent me notifications! Anyway is this still an issue? I'm guessing you might have moved on by now but please if you're interested in using this document let me know where the errors were and/or shoot me an email at carlh@carlh.com and I will email you a clean copy. I downloaded the file myself and it appears to load fine on my end - but who knows. Thank you and sorry!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
