O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,

Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead

Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter
fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,

Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed.

Percy Shelley
RoTten Bits
From the bleak corners
of the world comes forth
a collaboration of the
darkest kind: Westfalia and
KRD Designs bring you a
new way to experience the
Forbidden Psalm.

Based on the MÖRK BORG

MINIATURES range by
Westfalia, Rotten Bits
provides you with:

• a new mini campaign for Forbidden Psalm

• new warband options and mercenaries
• new monsters

You need a copy of the Core Book to play.

A massive thank you to Westfalia and the

MÖRK BORG for making this happen. Art work
and miniatures by Westfalia/Boris Woloszyn.
Before starting a scenario, any warband in Forbidden Psalm can replace
any number of their members with a member/s of the Rotten Ones. Each
Rotten One can only join a warband once. You cannot, for example, have two
Gutterborn Scum in a warband at any one time. Replaced warband members
leave the warband and take their equipment with them.

Rotten Ones may also be hired for one-off jobs as per normal mercenary rules.
To hire a Rotten One, pay 25 gold and temporarily replace one member with a
Rotten One. The member is still considered part of the warband.
Rotten Ones are selfish, and when hired as mercenaries never drop their
equipment or trade it willingly.

Unlike normal warband members, the Rotten Ones do not have Feats and
Flaws. Instead, each Rotten One has a class feature and Rotten Drawback.
Additionally, you do not assign stats to Rotten Ones, and you should use
the stats, equipment, and all other information for each Rotten One when
running them in your Forbidden Psalm games.

Quest Giver. You heeded its call, and now
must do what it asks. Suffering awaits those
who offer disappointment and failure.
Anger
The bleached bones of the Quest Giver
sway slightly as their disembodied voice

A vexation of being that only blood can

6 inches
quench. Go now, and unleash the fury. 24 inches
Kill the Troll.’

Depression
Depression is not sadness. It is not
despair. It is not fear. It is a rot that
consumes your soul. An emptiness that
rots your heart. A loss of yourself. It will
consume you. Do not despair, the worst

6 inches
has already happened. Go and find the 24 inches
light, for it will be the last there is.

DOORS
In each Scenario you should
place 1 door on a random
piece of scenery.

A model within 1 inch of

a door can open it with a
Strength test. Roll on this
table to see what's behind.
1. A goblin spills out of the door. One more goblin
spills out at the end of each round. A model
within 1 inch can close the door with a Strength
test.
2. A Bad smell comes forth, and every model suffers
-1 Presence for the rest of the Scenario.
3. Gold spills out of the door, and the model who
opened it takes 1D4 damage. Any model within 2
inches of door can, as an action, pick up 1D100
gold pieces.
4. The door leads to a better life. The model who
opened it makes a Presence test. On success they
see that it is real, and leave through the door,
never to be seen again.
5. Opening the door, they see a mad wizard sitting
on a porcelain throne, angered by their
intrusion. The wizard throws a random Scroll at
the model who opened the door and slams it shut.
The door may be reopened with a new roll on this
table.
6. A hand reaches out from a pitch black room and
gives the model who opened the door a random
relic. Once they take it the hand retreates,
closing the door.
