Peter Stumpps’ Farm {#farm}
-
Stumpp farm is a bit outside of town.
-
At the farm, Peter Stumpp lives with his four daughters (Maria 21, Evelyn 18, Rosalie 15, Trine 12) and 6 farm hands and 3 maids. Maria is to be betrothed to a wine merchant from Metz, solidifying a business alliance. Stumpp has ownership over hills suitable for wine production. He is also entertaining proposals for his Evelyn.
-
Peter Stumpp has been cursed by the hags (he thinks they are witches) and is trying to protect his family and innocent bystanders from his attacks. He will lock himself into his barn at night.
-
Visiting his farm, the barn has been visibly reinforced. The windows are boarded up and the door is steel reinforced. Inside: chains attached to a central post.
-
Peter Stumpp has a 1-8 chance of transforming into a werewolf every night. When the moon is full, the chance rises to 5-6. After 13 transformations, he will embrace his new nature as a werewolf and turn Neutral Evil, hunting humans for sport.
-
Wolf packs in the region follow his commands and will respond to his emotions. When he transforms, the wolfs become very aggressive as well and attack humans.
-
Can Peter Stumpp be cured? Yes, a Cleric can lift the curse as long as Peter Stumpp still resists the transformation. The hags can also be convinced to lift the curse in exchange for one of his daughters.
-
Peter Stumpp has hidden in his farm a treasure chest with 3,000 gp and a magical axe +2 (with an exploding damage die).
