The British #1-Lucky Lady crew

What's this about,my ship papers are in order,I cleared
Liverpool 2 days ago so can be wrong in Portsmouth?

Miss Taylor,nothing is wrong with your papers,I imagine
your cargo manifest is fictional,but we're overlooking
that as we need to request your help.

My help,sounds more like blackmail,I don't play along
and you turn me into the authorities.Who are you?
and the name is Capt.Taylor.

Capt.Taylor who I am is not important and I assure you
that we have no interest in your ,shall we say extra
cargo.I represent the Security Service,British Intelligence
and I have a proposition for you that you may find
advantageous to yourself & crew and would help your
country.

Mister my crew is a rum lot,so if your talking money
we're interested,times being they are,whats the deal?

Well Capt.Taylor I'm sure you aware of events in Germany
now that the Nazis are in power.We have recently
become aware of increased Nazi interest in ancient artifacts
that are suppose to possess occult power.Germany
is using Zeppelins to scour the world for these artifacts
to secure them for Hitler.

This must be stopped,whether or not these artifacts
possess real power is debatable,but the physiological
effect on the Nazis is dangerous.If they feel they
have this occult power they will be tempted to
become aggressive to redress perceived injustices
from the Treaty of Versailles.

OK,I see your point,but how does the Lucky Lady
fit into all this ?

Captain your tramp steamer goes all over the world,
and you have contacts with the types of people
who know things but are not inclined to share
information with the authorities.Your ship and crew
are the perfect cover to flush out information on
these Nazi artifact hunters.It's dangerous work
though,in most cases you'll have recover these artifact
from the Nazis and his Majesties Government won't
acknowledge you if you get into trouble.Are you
interested,make no mistake it can be kill or be killed work?

Well mister my lads saw a lot of their buddies sent to
the bottom from U-Boats in the war.They hate the Krauts,
my own Dad was on the HMS Indefatigable when she
was blown to Hell at Jutland.We'll kill the Bloody Hun
for you if the pay is right.

Captain the pay will be right,but its not just
killing Germans,you going to have to be able
to collect & evaluate information and keep your cover.

No problem,my crew has contacts in every coastal
dive & brothel from Casablanca to Shanghai.
We can get your information and keep secrets.

Then it's settled,here's something on account and
the codes you'll need to contact us.Good Hunting.

Thus Capt Clementine Taylor & the crew of the tramp steamer
"Lady Luck" besides their mundane cargo hauling also
are undercover agents for the Security Service
( British intelligence )andkeep close tabs on Nazi
artifact hunters.

This basically means they investigate secret Nazi Zeppelin bases
or field sites to raid/disrupt or to seize occult
artifacts the Nazis have discovered
before they can be sent on to the Reich.

The British #2-Crash Connor's Crew

Mr.Conner?

Thats me,your the guy that wants to hire my plane?

In a way but I hear you also handle security and
don't ask too many questions about what your
hired for...

Hey,My crew and I don't handle any shady business,
but we'll get the job you need done if you have the
cash.

My associates have the cash but what I need could
be very dangerous.

Look mister ,as I said we'll get results,what do you
want done?

First Mr.Conner,how do you feel about Nazis?

Arrogant Bastards,I had some respect for the
Jerries I flew against in the war but Nazis are
just crazy,all this Master Race shit.I'd like to
stick it right in Der Fuhrer face.

Ok,I'm offering you the chance to do just that,
I represent the Security Force and were interesting
in stopping the Nazis from obtaining occult items.
It will be rough work you be carrying out secret
warfare against the Nazis and if you screw up
Security won't acknowledge or help you.

Well we're your guys,if the pay is good,I've noticed
a lot of Black Market activity in occult items,so now
it makes sense.Whats the rest of the deal?

Mr.Conner we'll hire your plane & its crew through
a cover Export/Import business to transport high
value cargo.You'll really be keeping tabs on
German Zeppelin ,sabotaging their secret bases,
disrupting their field operations.Here's instructions
on how to contact us and a down payment for
your services.Satisfactory?

Very,er.....look,the Inland Revenue seems to have
some problems with my charter business,can you..

Yes Mr.Conner,we aware of the problem and consider
it closed,good Hunting.





The Germans

Knock..Knock..Mein Reichsfuhrer...Dr Wirth is here.

Send him in...Ah Herr Dr. please be seated.a pleasant
journey I trust.

Ja Reichsfuhrer,thanks for asking.How may I be of service?

Dr.Wirth,I have come to the conclusion that in order
for the Reich to secure its rightful place in the world,
we must possess all the ancient occult items that we
can find.Thus I am expanding your mission at the
Ueberprufung der sogenannten Geheimwissenschaften.

Reichsfuhrer, I can see the wisdom of your idea,the power
of such items at the service of the Reich would be of
tremendous .However it would require expeditions to
the four corners of the earth and unsympathetic Gover-
ments would not give us permission to enter their
lands.Even in places where our presence would not be
opposed we would often face hostile locals.Alas
our resources are limited and the logistics of such
missions would be staggering.

Dr.Wirth, all that has been taken care of,I am making
Zeppelins available to your Division and SS Personnel,
to provide security for your missions.My adjunct will
provided you with the necessary orders and papers
to set up your Unit.The cover for your missions will
be scientific weather studies.I expect you to have
things operational in 6 months.

Ja Reichsfuhrer,the Ueberprufung der
sogenannten Geheimwissenschaften
Division, Ahnenerbe SS will be ready.

Note the German individuals & organizations
are historical,the Zeppelin Occult Missions are
of course fictional.

The Mission has failed but at least the Team was able to
avoid detection & now Party finds its way out blocked
they must try to return to the Objective
Room by another route to find an exit.

in room before they can use Trap Door.

#2-Artifact of Power(draw Treasure Card for Name)

The local natives tell the Team the Germans have seized
a Family/Tribal Relic and have taken it to an old Temple
they are using as a temporary base.The Team goes to
get it back.

Objective Room when found Team may recover Relic
once no Germans in the room and exit via Portcullis
in Fighting Pit.

#3-Waters of Death:

Old ruined Fort has become a Temporary German Base.

in the bed of a diverted river & as a last resort defense
could be flooded.Pit complex contains a complex

have asked the Team to get their's back.The
team is told that the Germans are out on another
Raid,so now is the time to enter their stronghold
& recover the Totem.

Special Rules:Parties main goal is to get to the
Objective room where Totem should be secured
& take it back but they can't be 100% certain that
is where its at.So each time in a Room & no enemy
can Search as per Phase *.To do so roll d10:
1-2=Totem Found 3-10=no Totem.If they find it in a
Room they can retrace their steps back to entrance & exit.

On Event Phase roll of one ignore all M Cards(N/A)a
roll of 6 means the Raiders have returned .
Place a Force Card (1-10) in every Explored Room &
give Germans 1 Event Reif.card(SotC).

Once get this encounter ignore any Event Roll E Card
the first M Card drawn the German may place the Reif.
from the Event (SotC) on the Entrance Tile.
Then ignore Event Roll for remainder of game.

If Totem not found on Room boards will be in the
Objective room. In this case if no Germans in
Objective Room Team may exit via a trap door in the pit.

* Note Team may not search 1st Room entered.



#5 Slay the Raver:(Zeppelin Capt.)

Site has been identified as the base of violent raids
& team is being sent to go in & take the Raiders
out by killing their leader.Leader & his guards will be
found in the objective room but if no Leader(Nepharite)
is present mission won't be a success.Once Party
kills off the pit occupants it retraces steps to the
entrance & exits.

When retracing steps any 1 Event roll draw a
Force Card & place figs.

#6-Free the Captives:

During recent raids the Germans took about 20
captives,the Team is sent to go into their Stronghold
to the Objective Room where the Prisoners are kept
& free them.Prisoners are located in a room below
the Trap door in the pit,when guards are dead may
enter trap door down to prisoners & them take them
out through an old tunnel complex by smashing the
gate.

Roll d6 for each Team member that's the # of prisoners
found alive.To be successful mission needs
to rescue at least 10 prisoners.
