Rogue Mistress, subtitled "An Epic Campaign Across the Multiverse", is a collection of adventures published by Chaosium in 1991 for use with either of the fantasy role-playing games Stormbringer or Hawkmoon, both based on the Elric of Melniboné stories of Michael Moorcock.
Adventures
Rogue Mistress is a campaign of nine chronologically-linked adventures[1] in which the player characters travel to various planes that make up Michael Moorcock's "Million-Sphere Multiverse." Travel from sphere to sphere is accomplished on the pirate ship Rogue Mistress captained by Maria de tres Pistolas. [2]
The campaign consists of eight adventures that are played in sequence:[3]
- "Dark Eyes, Cold Hearts": On the plane of Styyxx, the characters must find and deliver a prisoner to a demented witch, or die from the living demon hearts that have been implanted in them.
- "The Prisoner": On the plane of Ildaron, the characters must sneak into the palace of Queen Media in disguise.
- "The Rogue Mistress": The character board the sphere-travelling ship Rogue Mistress and are sent on a quest to find a piece of the Pirate of the Worlds.
- "Ghosts in the Machine": The missing piece is found in the wreck of another ship, but the characters must fight off "Energy Vampires".
- "The Web of Chaos": On the plane of Albyon, the characters search for an artifact, but are hurled through the spheres to The Sea of Whispers.
- "The Whispering Sea": Aided by the Eternal Champion, the characters must find and destroy the Scourge of Strashaa,
- "Dark of the Sun": On the high-tech plane of Uerth, the characters must choose between mutants and humans.
- "The Two Who Are One": The characters return to the plane of Styxxx in order to kill the demons whose hearts still beat within them.[4]
