Maggots

in the Meat

“In the darkness of the void, a billion hungry xenos silently slip between the stars: gnawing like so many rats

at the edges of our great Imperium.”

— Hortrian Tybirus, Captain of the Divine Crusade , Battleleet Calixis.

M aggots in the Meat is a scenario that pits the Acolytes against a terrible and insidious alien

threat. It is intended for Acolytes in their irst or second Rank. However, with a few small

adjustments, it can be modiied to accommodate groups of any experience.

A DVENTURE

B ACKGROUND

T his adventure takes place entirely on the

For the last few years, however, the relative

stability of this realm, and in fact most of

Acreage, has been rent apart by a bloody civil

war. The High King died without naming

an heir, leaving his surviving children to

bicker and fight amongst themselves for

the title (see The War of the Rhozes), in

which thousands have already perished.

This has been a prosperous time for the

nobles, as each has taken the advantage of

the mayhem of war to expand their domains

or settle old scores. It has also drawn more

off-world interest to Acreage, in the form

of mercenaries and traders, seeking to make

a profit through selling skills, training and

advanced weapons.

One such noble taking advantage of these

off-world visitors is Prince Orcan, lord of the

City of Olrakan. Also known as the Floating

City, Olrakan, sprawls along a section of the

southern coast of Ascandia, where the foetid

Chitin Swamps meet the dark waters of the

Sea of Sorrows. The city is notable not only

for its construction, standing atop countless

rotting posts above the stinking waters of the

swamp, but also for its proximity to one of

Acreage’s few spaceports—Emperor’s Island,

located several miles out to sea.

Prince Orcan has cultivated his position

throughout the war by controlling much

of the trafic to and from Emperor’s Island;

brokering deals with other nobles for access

to precious off-world cargos and skilled

soldiers. Inevitably this monopoly has created

a great deal of jealously amongst his nearest

neighbours, and more than once, Olrankan

has been besieged by the cannon-barges and

musketmen of a rival lord. However, the same

off-world weapons and soldiers that have

sparked such attacks have also ensured Orcan’s

victory every time thus far. His rivals, however,

have not yet been deterred and continue to try

periodically to take the city by force.

dark and dismal feudal world known

as Acreage. An Imperial backwater,

it lies in the sub-sector of Josian Reach,

connected only by a few tenuous shipping

routes. However, it is irmly under Imperial

rule and provides its Imperial tithe in the form

of raw materials and manpower. Sending ores

to build the Emperor’s battleships and men

to ill His armies. For most of the citizens of

Acreage, the Emperor and the Imperium are

merely another set of masters. The inhabitants

would seldom think to raise their heads from

their daily toil, whether it be in the gruel

ields or the sky-mills, to contemplate what

lies far beyond the bounds of their world.

The same, however, cannot be said for the

dominating classes of nobles (who often claim

such titles on little more than strength of

arms and poorly-forged documents). They are

constantly in conlict, both clandestinely and

overtly, to rule the vast toiling masses. Power

equals status on Acreage. The amount of land

and people a noble commands directly equates

to his standing with the High King, and it is

the High King who carries the favour of the

Imperium, the greatest master of all.

On Acreage, the High King’s realm, known

as Ascandia, spans the majority of the northern

landmass. Stretching for thousands of miles

and encompassing hundreds of thousands of

people, cultures and scores of lesser princes,

kings and queens. It is a land of rugged

mountains, dark icy forests and endless lonely

plains, broken only by primitive villages and

stinking greyish gruel ields or the precarious

towering sky-mills.
