Some time ago the clerk from the Mary Magdalene chapel at Stephansplatz started to act strangely. The rumor is that he sold his soul to the devil and in return was given a spell book. When the misgivings of the clerk were uncovered, he was executed. However just before his death he confessed his sins and returned to the bosom of the Church. He was buried in a cemetery, however since that time strange things started to happen there. Some say that it is the clerk’s soul that is still imprisoned in this world as he did not say where he hid the spell book. Others that it is the devil, angry that the pact was broken is milling about. One way or the other it must be investigated. This spell book can be a valuable resource…
