Raven Hill has been abandoned a long time. Dust, cob-

The players must make Stealth rolls if they want
to move quietly. A failed roll when they enter a house
with a walker means they suffer a single attack.
Below, the locations in Raven Hill shown on the

On the side of the building someone has spray-­
painted “Wolves Not Far.” The front door is closed.
Inside, a pile of Bibles lies on the floor in front of
the altar. There is a small stairway leading into the
bell tower, where the NPC Angela Garcia is hiding.

Should the Wolves learn that the PCs are in the vicin-

then you can make a reaction roll. A 5 or 6 means
that the Wolves believe that the PCs are easy to handle,

the threat seriously and try to sneak up on or have

Evergreen is surrounded by a seven-­foot wooden pali-

it, with rolling eyes and clattering teeth. The air is filled
with thick black smoke from the fire (#7) and it smells
of death and decay. Everywhere, the letter W is spray-­
painted. The locations on the map are described below:

THE SCENARIO
DIE
ROLL WALKER PAST WALKER GORE
1 Wilderness guide Part of head missing
2 Housewife Guts hanging out from
the stomach
The scenario can end in many different ways. The PCs
3 Soldier Broken feet might rescue Matthew and/or Rebecca – but do they
4 Retiree Arrows sticking out from want to come back? And are they welcome? This is
the body totally up to the players, how they interpret the PCs,
5 Teenager Missing one eye and what happened in play.
For some gaming groups, the PCs might end up as
6 Store clerk Most flesh has been torn
the Wolves’ slaves themselves or be killed while trying
from the body
to infiltrate Evergreen. In other cases, the PCs may suc-
ceed in clearing out the Wolves (or scaring them into
running away) and decide to lay claim to the strong-
hold and any remaining resources, to make it their
new haven. As GM, try not to steer the story in
any particular direction – just follow the lead
of the PCs and make the world react to their
actions and ambitions in a way that feels
reasonable, challenging, and (above all) fun!
