The Women of Vodacce
There are only three kinds of women in Vodacce: the courtesans, the noblewomen, and the witches. You learn
to love one, to make love to another. The third? If you involved yourself with the third, I’m afraid you’re
already in too much trouble. — Capistrano Delgado, The Secret Lives of the Great Game.
Introduction
It is said that even if men hold all the power in
Vodacce, it is the women who hold the potential to
rule the land. To maintain control, laws and
traditions have been designed by men to limit the
opportunities and options that exist for Vodacce
women. Women are not allowed to learn of the
politics and sciences the world offers save for
matters of love and passions. Women are expected
to care for and support their husbands, or in the
lack of one, their fathers and their brothers. In
some way, Noblewomen and Courtesans are pitted
against each other; courtesans are trained to
please and entertain and are taught to read and
arouse with both word and touch while
noblewomen are tasked to dress plainly, veil their
eyes, and no nothing of the vulgar practices of ink
and paper. This contrast in expectation has them
despise each other out of spite or jealousy, either
of which serves the strengthening of man’s position
in the Nation.
Some believe the emergence of Sorte is the
Creator’s way of balancing things out. Of giving
women a chance to regain power. Or worse, as
proof of how the lack of enlightenment and
knowledge from the Creator’s light can give the
darkness of Legion room to slip its tendrils in. This
adventure hints at one of those two possibilities.
Goal and Basic Story
Serafina’s Choice has a 3-Step Story before
achieving its Goal. A practice my group enjoys
using is making each Step an “Act” in the story,
which means each one has their own highpoint and
once that has been reached, the group knows to
allow the Act to end for the next one to begin.
2|P a g e
That approach allows players to pace when to use
their Hero Points or Advantages, especially when
such tend to be usable only once per session.
Step 1 Meet the Lady Serafina.
Step 2 The Prison.
Step 3 Confront the Villain.
Goal The Heroes do what is just.
Adventure Summary
Angelica Nappi, dutiful older daughter of the
Nappi family, has written a desperate letter to the
Heroes. She asks for their help to rescue her
younger sister, Serafina. Long based in the
Crescent Empire, Angelica hopes the Heroes can
save Serafina from a forced marriage to an
unsavory man.
Guiseppe Andreotti, a merchant who trades on
spices, is reputed to have no qualms in
participating with the slave trade. Angelica’s
investigations have uncovered that two of
Guiseppe’s ships were intercepted by a Sarmatian
ship. The Sarmatian Tremtis in charge of the vessel
liberated the Rahuri prisoners chained to the
Vodacce ships’ holds.
While most of Vodacce ignores the prohibition on
slaves, Angelica personally despises such practices
and knows her sister would never wish to be
married to a man who makes a living in such a
manner.
Unfortunately, she is wrong.
Serafina isn’t being forcibly married to a horrible
man. She was the one who seduced him and won
him over. Serafina discovered she had a gift for
Sorte on her own and chose to hide it from her
family and friends. She realized for a woman in
Vodacce, power was always going to be fleeting.
But to have power no one was aware of, now that
was a much greater power.

Serafina pulled on the strands to draw Guiseppe to

her, ensuring an attraction would form once they
met. With his wealth and influence, she foresaw a
bright future ahead of her – one where she was the
one in charge. In many ways, Guiseppe is the victim
in these events.

When the heroes arrive, they don’t find a damsel in

distress. They find a person on the verge of
becoming a Villain.

Can they stop her? Or save her?

This Adventure may touch on some of the darker
aspects of the 7th Sea world, and thus might not
be for all groups. Abuse, sexual discrimination, and
violence may be present in the story and that may
not be deemed welcome in the game for some
groups. Before you start running this adventure for
your group, be sure you discuss what kind of an
Adventure Serafina’s Choice offers and decide if it
is the kind of story the group would enjoy. The
adventure can still be run with the less desired
elements being toned down, or perhaps even
merely portrayed as events happening “off-
camera” so to speak.

THE [H]
As popularized in other Community Created
Adventures, the use of the [H] reference is meant
to give the Game Master a means to dynamically
modify the size of Villains and Brute Squads for
various group sizes. Wherever you see [H], replace
it with the number of Hero characters in the Scene.
In some places [H] will have a multiplier or divider
(2[H] or ½[H]) or a base value (4+[H]).

If your players have a more combat savvy group,

such as one with at least one Duelist, consider
doubling the Strength of one or more Brute
Squads, Monsters, or Villains.

6|P a g e
Step 1:
Meet the Lady Serafina
The Heroes are at Vodacce, attending a fête at
Casa Andreotti. The scene opens with them
already at the event, dressed in their finery. The
celebration is a pre-nuptial festivity with everyone
there to congratulate the couple. While most
traditions reserve the celebrations for after the
wedding rites, Andreotti seems to have insisted
that the party begin this early – as if to show off his
veiled bride-to-be.
In Medias Res
The Adventure opens with the Heroes already at
the event to start with the scenes already moving.
Use this Scene to have flashbacks that answer why
the Hero agreed to come.
Getting the Players Involved
For most, it can simply be the Heroes as a group
deciding to help after a letter from Angelica asks
them. They all know Angelica from a past
encounter and remember her as a young kind
woman who helped those she could with her
meager funds.
Alternately, you can utilize the following Story Step
suggestions.
Aid
Angelica is an old friend whom the Heroes
met before. She asks for their help.
Alliances
The request could have come from a Secret
Society they hope to win over.
7|P a g e
Amnesia
Someone who can resolve a lingering
broken memory could also be in the party.
Cursed
Someone who is related to the curse can
be present at the event.
Hunting
Angelica might have information on
someone that is being hunted. In return,
she wants a simple favor.
Intrigue
The mission offers a chance to enter
Vodacce and mingle with the nobility. This
may offer opportunities for other goals the
Hero’s societal connections may need.
Lost Love
Perhaps one of the Heroes once had a
romantic history with Serafina?
Missing
The Hero has a Vodacce companion or
sister who had gone missing as well. So,
this feels like a chance to do right what was
wrong before.
Obligation
The Hero may owe Angelica a favor. Or
perhaps the Hero made a promise once to
watch over the two girls when they were
younger.
 Rahuri Spirit Quest
The spirits remember the Andreotti and his
sins. This is a chance to bring them peace.
Rites of Passage
To face the very slavers of their people is a
rite of passage that few get the
opportunity to do.
Rivalry
There is unfinished business between the
Hero and Guiseppe. This is an opportunity
to face him.
Romance
Angelica was once the apple of your eye.
Or perhaps Serafina was once someone
you hoped to woo.
Vendetta
Guiseppe’s ships have caused you trouble
in the past. Or worse, his men or he himself
has hurt someone you care for.
Scene 1-1
Mingle
The Heroes arrive and meet
the other
people at the fête.
Key Points of the Scene
The scene must accomplish the following things:
a) Trouble is not welcome
The Heroes must realize Guiseppe is surrounded
by quite influential people. Doing something brash
and violent will not be the best course of action.
Any attempt to start a scene will have multiple
people calling upon their guards to settle the
matter.
If the Heroes are allied or rivals with any of the
Merchant Princes of Vodacce, this event would be
a good time to have that Prince appear, but not
necessarily stay around. It does, however, show
more that Guiseppe is quite well connected.
8|P a g e
b) Serafina looks like she’s a prisoner.
Serafina is dressed in black, despite being the
bride. She has a black veil over her eyes, a Vodacce
practice to keep them from staring at other men.
She has a black embroidered ribbon around her
wrist, which Guiseppe holds like a leash.
c) The Heroes try to pass Serafina a message
Whether they plan to try to sneak her out or use
some other means to take her with them, the
Heroes need to at least reassure her that she is not
alone. This is vital as it works with the later reveal
that she’s the Villain in the story.
Rich and the Famous
Vodacce celebrations are always intimidating.
While Montaigne celebrations are festive and
colorful with lots to feast on and drink, Vodacce
festivals are serious and cultured affairs (or at least
they see them that way). Knowing who one can
speak with is key to having a great time.
Eavesdropping on conversations is not uncommon
and many times is even expected (as some share
stories that were specifically designed to be
overheard and spread in that organic manner.)
For any Heroes who are not of high class or noble
heritage, be sure to describe how people
immediately have an unconscious negative reaction
to seeing them. Or how they keep throwing
judgmental glances their way. For Heroes who fit
right in, be sure to let them hear how their
companions, “Don’t quite fit in.” Maybe even have
a guest whisper to them a snarky remark about
their companions, not knowing they’re all in one
group.
The celebration is lush and expensive, with
elaborate silverware, rich decorations, and
expensive paintings all placed on display.
DRAMATIC SEQUENCE:
Mingling with the Guests
Opportunity to learn more about the husband-to-
be, Guiseppe Andreotti, and others.
Opposition: There aren’t any actual opposition to go
against in this Scene. However, there are Consequences
to avoid that can challenge Heroes. Reward players who
find creative ways to avoid notice of the guards.
Objective:
Gain as much information as possible.
Approaches:
Panache or Wits with Convince, Empathy, or Tempt
are the key combinations to use. Heroes can talk
about their exploits or use their Reputations to
open conversations. Given this is Vodacce, it is
likely there is a fellow member of a Secret Society
in the event which the Hero can connect with to
get more unique insight.
Opportunities and Consequences:
The Heroes only have 5 Raises worth of time to talk
before the actual wedding proceedings begin.
Given the importance of the event, inform the
Heroes there is Pressure upon all of them not to
interfere with the wedding. This means any Raises
spent to directly interfere with the wedding cost 2
Raises instead of one.
There is a Group Consequence of H raises to avoid
the notice of Guiseppe’s men. This can be paid for
any member of the group, regardless of where
they are.
Raises can be spent to see Serafina, who always
stands close to Guiseppe and remains quiet.
Getting close, however, affords only short snippets
of one-sided conversation, with Serafina merely
listening and, at most, nodding in response to the
Heroes’ words.
9|P a g e
As Vodacce gatherings go, many people are
present merely out of the need to be present. If
the Heroes are not related or affiliated to such
Secret Societies, use them to just impart the
necessary information to the players.
Let’s Get Out of Here: If any Heroes opt to take
the less subtle approach, such as using Sorcery such as
Porté or calling upon Khahesh-ahura or Matushka’s Gifts
to fly and take Serafina out of the Scene, then the scene
simply transforms into an Action Sequence with
Consequences of getting hurt. You can proceed to
Scene 2-1, Wards and Guards.
If they do connect to the Society, then the can get

shared.

Malcolm Dorber
Malcolm wishes the two well. He does not think
Serafina is happy, but he doesn’t really care about
her.
Secret Society Info: Malcolm admits there are not
monsters or such stories present in the region.
Instead, he’s here to see if he can forge economic
ties with another merchant in Vodacce.
• The Explorer’s Society
Georgi Ceracas
Guiseppe always preferred full control over
anything he touches. And this has made him an
efficient yet cold. Andreotti owns five ships. And
lost two other ships recently, though he has not
said how.
Secret Society Info: Georgi does not know of any
Syrneth artifacts to be of note in this household.
Guiseppe never bothered to investigate such
objects, fearing their unpredictability.
• The Invisible College
Thomas Kahel
 Guiseppe trades in various spices and once even
had trading connections with Jayakarta, all the
way at Khitai. His wealth, however, suggests he
engages in other opportunities that are not
commonly known.
Secret Society Info: Thomas is only present
because he’s mingling with some noble
connections to gain access to a nearby gallery.
He’s looking into some rumor he’s heard about
the works of some inventor named Nisab
Guissola. He despises Guiseppe, hearing he
strikes Serafina when she makes any mistakes,
even minor ones.
• Knights of the Rose and Cross
Emily Carryl
Serafina rarely makes appearances. Usually she is
locked up in her bedroom. Her parents passed
away last winter, the cold having found a way into
their lungs. Not even the other daughter,
Angelica, was able to visit he funeral. Serafina
rushed it, probably out of fear that Guiseppe
would get mad.
Secret Society Info: Emily is curious where the
funds are coming from. Guiseppe has never
reached out to them for assistance. She suspects
Guiseppe might be involved in the slave trade.
• Los Vagabundos
Margaret Bacon
Margaret adores Serafina’s new look. She wasn’t
one to wear her veil in that matter before. It is
almost as if Serafin has learned to embrace it
more. It does hide her face much more. Margaret
wonders if that’s intentional.
Secret Society Info: Margaret has heard of the
rumors of Guiseppe’s true activities and has found
evidence that he has been in the slave trade
business. She suspects he has ties with the ATC.
She is considering reaching out to Seraphina to
see if she needs assistance in breaking free from
her husband.

• Močiutes Skara
Fyodor
He was a witness to a small incident with
Guiseppe some nights back. They were enroute
back from the port when a group of ruffians
attempted to steal from them. Fyodor fought
back and saved them by transforming into a bear
and intimidating the thieves to run away. When
one tripped, however, Guiseppe saw it as an
opportunity to beat the young thief up. Fyodor
had to stop him to save the boy’s life.
Secret Society Info: Fyodor has investigated
Guiseppe’s household. While most are
emotionally or verbally abused, Guiseppe keeps
them well fed and properly paid. Guiseppe’s
ruthlessness seems to be emotional based and
easily triggered.
• Rilasciare
Rene Herdoblez
Guiseppe is a disgusting man with fingers in many
pies. His wife, Serafina, is a poor woman trapped
in the world of the wealthy. Had she been a Fate
Witch, she could have at least tried to make life
better in some ways.
Secret Society Info: The Rilasciare has other things
to focus on right now. Rene is only here to meet
with another contact in the area. She warns the

against nobility. “They’re everywhere.”

Florence has known Serafina for the last seven
years. She used to be her confidant – sharing with
her all her fears and insecurities. Four years ago,
Serafina stopped writing and the next time
Florence heard of her was tonight with news of
their impending marriage. Florence wants to spirit
Serafina to safety, but sadly, Guiseppe has gained
control of the nearest port and closed off any
options to leave by sea. She has also not gotten
permission from the Society to extract Serafina,
but she does not know why.

informed all their agents NOT to interfere with
Serafina’s marriage. No additional information was
given. Florence hates this but knows she must

one. Guiseppe’s men are all Special Brutes: Guards
and Danger Points can be spent to protect
Guiseppe as needed.
The guards fight until they are knocked out.

Here Come the Guards

If the Consequence of the guards finding them is
not paid, then Guiseppe’s personal guards
apprehend the Heroes and ask them to surrender.
They are escorted out of the premises and warned
that if they reenter, they will be dealt with in a more
permanent manner.
If the Heroes really push towards violence, however,
Guiseppe calls for the guards to step-in.
Violence in Vodacce: Be sure to discourage the
players from opting for direct violent tactics in the first
part of the story. Remind them of the number of
innocents who can get caught in the cross-fire and the
consequence of having a larger security force searching
for them. If they push for that, however, proceed to
Scene 2-1 and make the necessary adjustments to run
the fight scene.

Scene 1-2
Marriage Bells
The Heroes bear witness to the
marriage.
Key Points of the Scene
The scene must accomplish the following things:
a) Serafina and Guiseppe get married
Their marriage is ultimately part of Serafina’s plan.
So, despite her giving the impression of being the
victim in all this she needs Guiseppe to marry her,
so she can inherit all his belongings after she deals
with him.
b) The Heroes get a chance to speak with
Serafina
She tells them they cannot speak right now, but
that they can meet again in private, later in the
evening, here at this Church. She knows of a
hidden passageway under the Church that can be
used to escape.
To the Church We Go
Bells suddenly toll and those present turn to face
the couple. Guiseppe announces that in the spirit
of change, now that change has come to his life, he
is changing the tradition of how marriage is done.
The couple then leads the guests to the Church of
the Veneration of Mariah, a lesser known Church in
Vodacce.
The crowd excitedly follows the two to standing
structure at one end of the property, a church and
abbey with three high apses, the central one being
slightly larger. It is decorated with pilaster strips
and small arches, brick elements, and triangular
shapes.
12 | P a g e
As they all enter, they find flowers and candles
have been set up in the interior, illuminating an
artistically painted dome. All the walls are covered
with painted images of the lives of the First and
Second Prophet and the central rectangular altar
has the Vaticine Cross laid within a down-facing
isosceles triangle. The structure, while being a less
popular venue, is no less impressive.
The wedding proceeding goes smoothly with the
Vaticine Priest leading the rite. When the time
comes for the Exchange of Vows, the Heroes easily
notice that the Priest does not ask for the
traditional question calling for anyone who thinks
the two should not be together to speak up. If any
of the Heroes considers interrupting the events,
describe how that moment, the bride’s eyes can be
seen despite the veil as she looks at them. The
Hero has a clear sense that she is asking him not to
make a scene. Not to cause trouble. It is hard to
read, however, if it is out of fear.
Complications…
If any of the Heroes come up with a good way to
delay the proceedings, allow that to play out. One
might use their Sorcery to have a sudden outburst
of rain drown out the sounds, or another might
stand (despite the bride’s wordless plea) and give
an impassionate speech on how the marriage
should at least delay itself until Angelica can
attend. The crowd turns to the couple, eager to
see how the events unfold. The crowd might even
start to respond in their favor. But just before the
players call for a victory, Serafina herself suddenly
speaks up, asking for everyone to respect her
wishes. And to bear witness to the marriage. She
asks the Priest to proceed.
Barring direct means that remove the priest from
completing the rite, the marriage of the two will
push through and Serafina thanks everyone for
their patience. Attempts to ask her to explain are
met with silence. Or at most, a promise to explain
things later and in private.
“You can’t marry her… I love her!”
Opportunistic Heroes might opt to claim to be the one
Serafina loves, or claim to be Serafina’s true love, as a
bid to delay the wedding or ruin it altogether. Despite
the clear attempt to help her, the Heroes will be shocked
to hear Serafina still ask for the wedding to proceed and
for the Hero to stand aside. Guiseppe, however, verbally
makes it clear he will keep an eye on that Hero from this
point on. That hero has made an enemy of this Vodacce
Merchant Prince.
Private Meeting
The celebrations follow quickly next, with the bride
and the groom walking back to the manor with
their guests. Children with baskets throw flower
petals ahead of the group. Servants along the way
wave and cheer the new couple.
Music begins playing as they arrive. Guests find
seats and servants begin bringing out the prepared
meals. Guiseppe very quickly gets distracted by
the congratulations and greetings, giving Serafina a
chance to slip away. She catches the eye of the
Hero with the highest Wits score and motions for
them to follow her. Serafina leads the Hero (and
any others who go with him) to a side room where
a servant is busy preparing new table cloth
napkins. The servant quickly leaves once given the
command by Serafin, leaving her alone with the
Heroes.
There, she explains to them that they do not have
much time. That Guiseppe is sure to notice she is
missing soon. And that she needs to hurry back.
Serafina asks a few questions:
• Why are you here?
She asks them why they are here. She is
not aware that her sister had sent Heroes
to help her. She admits they can help her
big time if they are here to do so. She
cannot say more but she needs them to
promise they will cooperate when the time
comes.
13 | P a g e
• Do you know about Guiseppe? Do you
know what he has done?
She shares very quickly that her husband
sells slaves like he does spices. She admits
she knows her husband just threw
overboard almost three hundred slaves
that he had shipped out of some island
called, “Raw Who Ray.” She also knows
Guiseppe can be violent, hurting servants
who displease him.
• She asks if she can count on them to help
her?
She tells them she promised her sister she
will not be enslaved, and she needs their
help to complete her plan.
She has few answers to give:
• Are you okay? Are you safe?
Serafina stresses she is fine and has everything
under control. She thanks them for trying to
help but warns them she has a plan. That they
must help her succeed in her plans.
• Did he hurt you?
She admits he did, but that is not the thing to
focus on right now. She tells them to be ready
to support her when the time is right. To be
ready with their weapons in case they need to
use them.
• Your sister sent us to get you out of here. Do
you have a way out
Serafina stresses she is fine and has everything
under control. She has a plan and just needs
time to enact it.
As she hurries to return to her husband, she tells
them they will see when the time is right to act. If
they try to get her to leave, she refuses, insisting
running away will not solve the problem. Guiseppe
has too many contacts and resources all over Terra.
She must end this tonight.

Scene 1-3
Foiled Escape
The Heroes fail to escape with
Serafina… because of Serafina.
Key Points of the Scene
This scene is only necessary if the Heroes opt to try
to spirit her tonight. If not, this Scene is skipped,
and the story progresses to the next Act. The
scene must accomplish the following things:
a) The Heroes get to Serafina
The Heroes reach her location to spirit her away.
b) The group makes its exit
The group then navigates to leave the manor.
c) Serafina reveals she’s in charge
The group learns Serafina is the Villain in the
narrative. They may or may not find themselves
captured.
Sneaking around the Manor
The first two parts of this Scene can play out as
Action Sequence, with the Heroes sneaking their
way into the Manor to find Serafina. Creative players
might utilize alternative tactics to get in easier. A
Porté sorcier might slip a bloodied coin or knife into
Serafina’s belongings and use that as a Mark to
Walk into her chamber. A hexe might transform into
a spirit to spy ahead and locate Serafina’s chambers.
Or the Ahez might use Wayak’ Kan and Maximon’s
Pati to conceal themselves from future observers.
The GM is encouraged to allow players to be
creative, so long as somehow the key points of the
Scene are still accomplished.
The Heroes have identified possible exit points,
whether they be storm drains, servant tunnels, or
hidden passageways. If the players can’t think of a
good one, the GM can remind them of the hidden
passageway Serafina is aware of beneath the Church
of the Veneration of the Mariah.
14 | P a g e
ACTION SEQUENCE:
The Dark Passageways
The Heroes make their way to Serafina and out.
Opposition: Guiseppe Andreotti has guards
watching over the manor tonight. This counts as three
roving Brute Squads of H Strength.
All players can contribute Raises to making sure none of
the Squads notice the Heroes. The players must go
through three Action Sequences, and each Sequence the
players must pay enough Raises to avoid the Squads or
disable them. If at the end of a Sequence, at least one
Brute Squad still has at least one Strength, that guard
sounds the alarm.
If this was still enroute to Serafina, then the fight cancels
the attempt to sneak her out. Serafina instead rushes to
the group as shown below (A Fight).
If the Heroes reach Serafina, the attempt to escape
requires only one Sequence but this time requires 2[H]
Raises to accomplish. If they succeed, this leads to the
end of the Scene as shown below, (Serafina Laughs).
Objective:
Evade all three Brute Squads to reach Serafina.
Approaches:
Sneaking around is likely accomplished with
Finesse or Wits and Hide. Others might utilize
Athletics to scurry around in secret. Tempt might
be used instead to lure away before disabling
guards. This, however, is tricky if the Hero does not
have enough Raises to improvise into Brawl.
Opportunities and Consequences:
This is a good time to open Opportunities for the
Heroes to realize Serafina might not be the poor
victim she appears to be. One key thing to notice
is Serafina has cuts on her hands. Tiny cuts of
bleeding wounds on her fingers. Alternate
possibilities include overhearing the guards stating
how Serafina ordered them to be at watch today,
despite Guiseppe giving most of them the night
off. Or even one complaining how Guiseppe seems
so smitten by Serafina, it was odd that others don’t
get to see her being in charge in public.
A Fight
At any point in time a fight breaks out, the Brute
Squads immediately attempt to disable the Hero
who can supernaturally shift the tide in their favor.
Two other Brute Squads would be enroute, both
arriving at the end of the first fight sequence.
Symbolic Hints
For this Scene, the motif of spider webs can include
the presence of cob webs blocking some
passageways. While harmless to cut through, their
mere presence can make some players feel
uncomfortable of walking through them. Tiny
spiders skitter away from their broken webs,
suggesting these passageways have long been
unused.

While distracted, Serafina uses this opportunity to
disable the group. All the Heroes feel a sudden pull
forcing them off their feet! Up to four Heroes are
pulled in this surprise attack, and they take two
Wounds each. Serafina laughs as more brutes
emerge from the shadows and charge them. The
Brutes rush forward and demand the Heroes
surrender and the Act closes then.
Serafina Laughs
As the Heroes reach their exit point, Serafina
suddenly breaks into a laugh. The next thing the
heroes feel is a great force pulling them backwards
towards Serafina. As up to four Heroes crash into
the ground close to her (taking 2 Wounds each),
Serafina admits to them that they were fools to
think they could fool her. Before any of them can
act further, describe how the rifles all are trained at
the Heroes and the Act ends.
Anyone using Sorte to Read Serafina sees an
incredible sight: like a woman trapped in a spider’s
web, Serafina has threads stretching out from
around her in various directions. These threads link
her to the many servants in the place, to her
husband, and more.
Serafina does not notice those who see the
threads. If anyone directly asks her about them,
she might feign ignorance about them unless that
person has somehow gained her trust. She
probably would admit that she’s learned she’s
made connections with lots of people ever since
she started being more honest about her feelings.
It would only be after she reveals her darker
motivates that she reveals she revels in
manipulating these threads.

WAIT!
MY PLAYERS INSIST THEY CAN ESCAPE
Then let them escape. That works too. Rather than have
Serafina gloating at them in the later scenes, they could
simply be spying on her as she punishes some other poor
fellow. You’re of course free to adjust the Adventure as
needed.

Players who accept the capture are awarded three extra

Hero Points. You can always suggest that getting
captured was part of their plan to understand what is
going on. They can always escape when they need to.

The Prison

16 | P a g e
Step 2:
The Prison
Serafina has just revealed she is not some damsel
in distress but a woman who has come to reclaim
her life. However, years of being told of how selfish
and violent the world is having warped her sense of
survival.
At this point, the Heroes have either been taken
prisoner or have escaped captivity. If they escaped,
then the other guests have been taken prisoner. In
Serafina’s eyes, everyone is guilty of associating
and supporting this horrible practice of treating
women as commodities. And of marketing slaves in
a manner lower than spices.
Serafina taunts all the captives, claiming to know
each of them in ways they do not know themselves.
She reminds them all that it is not too late to save
themselves. But to do so means showing her they
have truly turned their backs on everything
Andreotti stood for. And to do that, she demands
proof.
17 | P a g e
Scene 2-1
Wards and Guards
Where the Heroes once
again consider escape
tactics. Or fight their way to
her.
Imprisoned
If the Heroes have been thrown into prison, they
find the other guests with them. If any key NPCs
were interacting with them in Scene 1-1, this is a
good time to bring them back into focus as they
beg the Heroes to do something. A cursory glance
reveals many of them have been injured in different
ways.
• Malcolm Dorber (Die Kreuzritter)
Malcolm has a busted lower lips. Serafina accused
him of being part of the great war that made so
many people homeless.
• Georgi Ceracas (The Explorer’s Society)
Georgi was accused of participating in the slave
trade. His nose was shattered when Serafina
somehow made him smash his own face against
the wall.
• Thomas Kahel (The Invisible College)
Thomas was accused of ignoring the plight of
women in Vodacce. Their “hunger for knowledge”
has blinded them to those who need their help. As
 a punishment, she ripped off part of his hair and
scalp.
• Emily Carryl (Knights of the Rose and Cross)
Emily was assumed to just be another one of the
women in the party. This spared her of further
injury beyond being thrown in prison with the rest
of the others.
• Margaret Bacon (Los Vagabundos)
Margaret was discovered to have guns with her.
Serafina took this to mean she was a spy for Guiseppe’s
other connections. In many ways, this was the first
trigger to seeing everyone else as spies and traitors.
Margaret is unconscious from a blow from behind her
head.
• Fyodor (Močiutes Skara)
Fyodor is on the ground, skittering away at
anyone who comes too close. His personality
seemingly has shifted to that of a coward. He
remembers people, but has trouble reaching out
to them and talk to them in any way.
• Rene Herdoblez (Rilasciare)
Rene is mortally wounded. She was alongside
Fyodor when the two uncovered Serafina’s
warped power. Rene launched herself atop
Fyodor to protect him when Serafina supposedly
had the furniture in the room crash towards him!
Rene is being cared for by Florence.
• Florence Medea Mercier (Sophia’s Daughters)
Florence does not recognize Serafina. She sees a
strange horrible woman standing in her place. She
heard the fight Fyodor and Rene had against
Serafina and pulled Rene out of the wreck to save
her life. A large part of the candelabra lodged into
her stomach, however, and Florence is not sure
who much time Rene has left. Magical healing
might be all that can save her now.
The prison itself that holds them is an old cage
which only requires a single Theft or even Athletics
raise to unlock. The bigger threat are the guards
who will come upon hearing the noise.
18 | P a g e
Hidden Away
If the Heroes escaped captivity, then they can learn
about the events that have transpired by sneaking
among the prisoners to ask or by questioning the
guards.
Either way, the choice to do either should not
require any extra raises beyond the norm. The
opportunity to save lives is here, so long as the
Heroes have in mind a safe location for them to
take. If none of the players have ideas, you can have
either Thomas Kahel bring up the tunnels under the
Church, or have Florence admit there is a secondary
passageway near the maid’s quarters which the
Daughters use to spirit out women. She is not sure
why the Daughters did not ask her to spirit Serafina
way.
ACTION SEQUENCE:
Get Everyone Else Out
Once again, an attempt to sneak people out safely.
Opposition: Since this is after the captivity, there are
only two roving Brute Squads of H Strength to look out
for, once the group has dealt with the Prison itself (1
Raise needed) and the guards by the Prison (Brute Squad
of Strength H).
As earlier, all players can contribute Raises to making
sure none of the Squads notice the Heroes. The players
must go through two Action Sequences, and each
Sequence the players must pay enough Raises to avoid
the Squads or disable them. If at the end of a Sequence,
at least one Brute Squad still has at least one Strength,
that guard sounds the alarm.
Objective:
Evade all two Brute Squads to reach Serafina.
Approaches:
Sneaking around is likely accomplished with Dex or
Wits and Hide. Others might utilize Athletics to
scurry around in secret. Tempt might be used
instead to lure away before disabling guards. This,
however, is tricky if the Hero does not have
enough Raises to improvise into Brawl.
Opportunities and Consequences:
Raises can be spent for the following Opportunities:
• Find weapons that can be given to the
others. Each additional NPC who has been
better armed grants one of the Heroes an
extra die in any Risk during their escape.
• Opportunities can be found to ask help
from other servants. The servants admit the
notable shift as well in the bride’s
personality. They are more than willing to
help the group escape.
• One can find where Serafina has gone,
risking the group splitting up into two. This,
however, means we can move to Scene 2-2
faster.
him seated in the canopy bed in the bedchamber.
He does not react to noise nor turn to face them.
When the Heroes get close enough, they see
Guiseppe is like a discarded puppet. His mouth
hangs loosely. His eyes are closed as if asleep. His
breathing is ragged and tired. Sharp eyes would
then notice invisible material extending from
Guiseppe like the wires of a marionette. They’re
only perceptible due to the droplets of blood
staining them like rosary beads.
Guiseppe is Helpless.
But alive.

Serafina’s Transformation
The meek and silent Serafina and truly
transformed. She still wears her veil, but she has
torn small slits at the top to allow her eyes to be
visible. She walks with powerful strides, and she
seems oblivious to the bloody discharge on her
arms. She laughs as she revels in her revealed
power. The black embroidered ribbon around her
wrist that connected her to Guiseppe was more the
leash she had on him and not vice versa.

Some can even say Serafina is gone. And in her

place stands an angry avenging angel. Any
attempt to confront her immediately activates the
next scene.

Displays of Power
Step 3 has the full character sheet for Serafina as well as
guides on how she uses her powers. There is also an
optional ruleset for presenting Fate Witches who learn to
harness their powers without the guidance of fellow
witches.

Guiseppe’s True State

The merchant prince is a shell of what he used to
be. A good scary moment to give the players is to
have anyone who was stealthily going around find

 Scene 2-2
Angelica’s Arrival
Can a sister, despite
arriving too late, change
what hate and desperation
has given birth to?
Angelica arrives. This can be a few days late. Or a
week, depending on how you chose to run the
session. Her arrival is an unexpected element for all
concerned, as she has the carriage bringing her
take her straight to Serafina’s abode.
Her carriage is drawn by two large horses. The
coachman nearly runs over some guards as he
brings the carriage to a full stop in the courtyard.
Angelica leaps out of the carriage and rushes up
the steps, calling out for her sister.
Heroes Intercept
If the Heroes opt to intercept Angelica, she seems
confused why they would try to stop her or silence
her. She still cries out for her sister, even yelling
out that she shouldn’t get married to the horrid
man. If the Heroes successfully calm her down with
the right words, or using any appropriate means,
Angelica asks the Heroes to explain what has
happened. She has no idea of her sister having
become a Fate Witch. Nor of any idea that Serafina
acts like a Villain.
Arguing with Angelica
The Heroes must attempt to reason with Angelica.
The Heroes must find different ways to reason with
her. Angelica has lived away from her sister for
years and has no idea of what Serafina has gone
through. Angelica’s mind is set in the thought that
she has to save her sister.
DRAMATIC SEQUENCE:
Explaining to Angelica
Angelica is too caught up at the thought that her
sister maybe in trouble to easily embrace the
information the Heroes are sharing.
20 | P a g e
Opposition: Angelica’s Wits currently acts against
the Heroes. They need to spend a total of 4 Raises to
convince her that her sister might not be in the situation
she was afraid of. It may be far worse.
Objective:
Help Angelica realize the truth.
Approaches:
As easier, Wits or Panache may prove useful in this
moment. Empathy and Convince would the skills to
match. Intimidation can help force her to focus.
Opportunities and Consequences:
Angelica’s anxiety affects her better judgement.
For her, the Heroes are being deaf to her need to
save her sister. This manifests as a one Raise
Consequence each Hero must pay or Angelica’s
actions inadvertently cause them a Wound as she
pushes and claws at them to move aside. Angelica
might be made to notice the broken Guiseppe as
well.
If the Heroes successfully calm her down and
explain, Angelia joins them from this point on. She
still hopes to help Serafina out in any way she can.
Serafina Arrives
The two sisters shriek, almost like old friends
seeing each other again after a long period away.
They hurry towards each other, exchanges tight
hugs and giggles.
Serafina for a moment looks kind and young again,
squealing with excitement at the sight of her sister.
The two sound so happy that at first it seems as if
the problem is over and the danger is gone. Alas,
the moment quickly passes.
Angelica tells Serafina they can leave. That they can
escape Vodacce and that Serafina can start a new
life with her elsewhere. The disdain cannot be
ignored on Serafina’s face. If the Heroes have not
interfered, Serafina uses her Sorte to lift Angelica
off the ground!

For Serafina, this is the moment she realizes she

has broken free. This is the moment she realizes
she has left her sister’s shadow.

And with this moment, the Act ends.

21 | P a g e
Confront the Villain

22 | P a g e

Step 3:
Confront the Villain
Serafina stands on the verge of being a Villain. And
it is up to the Heroes to do what they must before
it is too late. Do they deal with her, to stop the
threat upon the world before it is too late, or do
they attempt to reach out and redeem her?
Scene 3-1
Fates Align
Serafina must be defeated
one way or another.
Serafina has become blinded by the power. After
years of living in fear of the coming future, of living
a life trapped in a marriage she did not desire, she
discovered there was a growing power deep inside
of her. A power that had the potential to change
things in so many ways.
Serafina Nappi
From a mousey frightened woman to a powerful
sorcerous witch, Serafina has reclaimed her life
from a world of uncertainty and loneliness. When
her sister left to forge a life of her own, Serafina
sunk into a spiral of depression and fear. She
locked herself in her chamber, spending hours each
day away completely alone and simply staring out
the window. Her parents worried for her state of
being but given their other daughter had run away
to the Crescent Empire, they decided it was better
to remain silent about their fears than let the rest
of Vodacce know their other daughter was just as...
disappointing.
It was during these long lonely years that Serafina
started to pass the time by sketching. She would
draw images on the walls, using chalk and coal as
pencils. The urge was a powerful one, compelling
her to bring the marks upon the paper whenever
the compulsion struck. After a few weeks, she
began to realize the sketches were unconsciously
following a theme: she was drawing people she
23 | P a g e
knew, or missed, or hated, and somehow was
connecting them to the different Arcana that many
of the women loved to bandy about when sharing
stories about their broken romances and lost love.
She was creating a Sorte deck. Such acts were
typically expected of the Strega around age ten.
She was already nearly eighteen.
Serafina had heard of Fate Witches. She knew how
the law would demand any Streghe be prevents
from learning to read or write. She heard the
stories of such witches being isolated from other
children and of the cataclysmic acts that complicate
their lives and the lives of others. So rather than tell
her parents, she kept her powers a secret and
chose to practice and learn on her own. It was no
easy task and had led to many accidental moments
of misfortune. Serafina does not realize that the
biggest backlash to strike was to be the death of
her parents.
When she first met Guiseppe, her parents
reminded her that a Vodacce woman’s role is to
forever be there to support her husband. After
their deaths, Serafina took it as a sign that it was
time to take matters into her own hands. She
reached into his soul and wrenched his Arcana into
her hands, molding it into something she
preferred.
Twisting the man’s Arcana gave her a rush unlike
any other. She felt her body surge with a sense of
pleasure that she had never ever felt before. It was
addicting. She began to reach out to more people
around her, relishing each time she twisted them
into what she desired. And when the all servants
were subjugated, Serafina would dismiss half of
them and hire a new batch. By the time the Heroes
come to the wedding, Serafina had learned to hide
her addictive impulses and play the role of the
victim.
Now she stands on the verge of transforming into a
Villain. And only the Heroes can stop her descent
into cruelty and madness.

Serafina’s Sorte
A Broken Web. Having learned to manipulate the
threads of Fate on her own, Serafina has
developed a distorted version of the Sorcery. While
most Strega can Read Arcana, manipulate the
threads, and Pull them, Serafina’s development of
the power has taken an unexpected direction.
• Read
Rather than see people’s destinies, Serafina
instead sees the interconnections of people. She
cannot stare into a person’s Arcana and read it.
Instead, she sees the adjoining threads between
two people and from that line, understands their
interconnections. With a Raise, Serafina can tell
how important one person is to another. Or what
kind of relationship they share.
• Arcana, Minor
Serafina can spend a Danger Point to send when
the target most recently gave in to their Hubris.
• Arcana, Major
Serafina is unable to activate or switch people’s
Arcana. Instead, she can pull on the threads to
make the target more and more compliant to her
desires. Given enough time, a person’s
personality erodes completely, and they become
an easy puppet she can manipulate at will.
Mechanically, Serafina causes an emotional
24 | P a g e
Wound to her target. Emotional Wounds are like
normal Wounds in that they can give bonuses or
penalties to the Hero as they are gained. A hero
heals up to one emotional Wound every four
hours of rest. Once the target has suffered four
emotional Dramatic Wounds, however, their
Arcana is permanently switched with this one:
Fatetorn. You exist to serve and bring
happiness to Serafina. When she uses the
threads to control your body, you allow her
to do so without hesitation. You earn a
Hero Point when you do whatever Serafina
desires.
• Grasp, Minor
While most Strega can pull others to them,
Serafina has learned to use the threads to
manipulate smaller inorganic objects. She can
pull levels, draw knives, or snatch keys from
others. Others can snatch it while they travel
in the air with a Raise. She uses this to
snatch weapons away, tip over bookshelves,
or fling objects such as vases at her
attackers.
• Grasp, Major
For each Wound Serafina opts to have, she
can grab hold of another person and lift
them or hurl them away. She can spend a
Danger Point to spend extra Wounds to be
more effective in hurting the target or to
affect multiple targets at the same time.
Servants and Underlings. When the battle begins,
Serafina tightens her control over the guards and
servants. They arrive halfway through the first
Action Sequence fighting against Serafina, moving
in a manner like her. They all speak in unison with
her, giving her vocal declarations a disturbing
quality as they demand the Heroes submit to her
power.
Serafina’s Fatetorn Servants count as H Brute
Squads in total. They are Strength 6 and are
Special Brute Squad: Guards. They willingly give
themselves to protect Serafina. Warn the Heroes,
however, that these Fatetorn are not in their right
mind. Killing them is not a solution and choosing
that easy way out is a sure way towards
Corruption.
Redemption. Fear. Fear is the root of Serafina’s
descent into Villainy. If the Heroes can help her
face her fear, and then accept that she can
overcome it with compassion instead of cruelty,
they can guide her back towards the light.
Saving Serafina is difficult, but not impossible.
Angelica can help her but only if the Heroes also
help Angelica see her sister as someone who can
save herself. Angelica’s desire to help Serafina
unfortunately manifests as “proof” to Serafina that
she lacks the strength to do what must be done. If
the Heroes can help Angelica sincerely proclaim,
she believes in Serafina’s strength, it will go a long
way in helping her get onto the path of
redemption.
How it Ends
Depending on the actions the Heroes choose to
take, the adventure can end in any of these
possible ways:
opportunity to start anew. She chooses to try
and repay the Heroes in the future as a Patron.
• Destroyed Threads. Serafina relishes in her
power and vows never to be imprisoned in any
form ever again. She escapes the Heroes
clutches and will someday return as a new
Villain the Heroes must deal with. She has
become a new threat they have to look out for
now. Foul Weather Jack can represent their life
now that someone has vowed to avenge
herself upon the heroes.
• Fallen Stars. Angelica screams in agony as she
holds the fallen body of her sister, Serafina.
The poor woman burned too bright as she
relished in her new powers but failed to temper
her anger with forgiveness. For some Heroes,
this was probably the last resort and was not
the ending they wanted. But sometimes,
there’s no easy option among the choices.
Serafina made her choice. The Heroes had to
make theirs as well. Valiant Spirits remind the
Heroes to stay focused and embrace
compassion in the future. Perhaps they even
gain a Personal Motto in relation to this.

• Wounded Hearts. Serafina realizes her

wrongdoing and surrenders to the Heroes.
Angelica stands by her sister and asks the
Heroes to give Serafina a chance to make
amends. Angelica writes to the Heroes
monthly, updating them on her attempts to
make reparations for her actions and be
educated in the proper practice of Sorte.
Perhaps in the future, Serafina can return to
become a Trusted Companion that the Heroes
can call upon. But not just yet.
• Tragic Scars. Serafina revels in her power but
this leads to Angelica paying the price. The
death of her sister shakes Serafina out of her
megalomania and with despair comes the need
to punish herself. The Heroes can reach out to
her now and guide her back towards
redemption. Serafina will always blame herself
but in her heart knows she shouldn’t waste this

25 | P a g e
Epilogue
(The Continuing Ascent of Ava Tremaine)
A woman with a red parasol pays Angelica a visit.
Angelica recognizes her and allows her inside. She
talks to the Angelica and consoles her as she
shares the tragic tale.

After hearing the tale, the woman thanks Angelica

for sharing it. She then stands up and asks Angelica
if she thinks this is the fault of the Vaticine Church
or if this is simply the fault of man. Angelica admits
she does not know.

The woman asks, if she was given a chance to

change things. To shake things up. Would she?

Angelica is never given a chance to answer.

The woman reopens her red parasol and leaves. If

Serafina still lives, news of Angelica’s death would
be enough to tip her over into pure Villainy as she
finds more reasons to hate everyone in the world.
