  • Brother Ptolemy has decided that fortune favours the bold; instead of passively converting the sick and downtrodden, he has reasoned that by cursing the city's water supply to make people ill, he can hasten the supply of willing converts.

  • A skirmish in the woods, using traps and terrain to corral the PCs. Snipers will open the combat once the players discover a spiked pit trap. Other traps will include quicksand and poison darts.
