Tales of the Iron Kingdoms I
“Mateo Gone Missing”
Plot Synopsis
A Llaelese Priest of Cyriss, Mateo di Fiscani, who
was also working as a scientific advisor for the Ordic
aristocrat, weapons merchant and mercenary Arlessio
Sinadora, was starting to become worried about both
Khador and the Protectorate encroaching on his country,
and when push came to shove he was a patriot, not a
religious fanatic. In order to pay for Sinadora's supplies
to the Resistance, he stole records and mechanika from a
hidden workshop of the Maiden of Gears in the area just
short of the southern Llaelese border, on the banks of
Drek Lake. However, upon his second visit there, he got
caught, and has not been heard from since.
Sinadora, unwilling to simply let this prime source of
advanced technology go and ignorant of di Fiscani's true
vocation, has decided to investigate. He knows that di
Fiscani was travelling to a private workshop, but he
neither knows its exact location nor its true nature. Since
Sinadora expects to be under some scrutiny, possibly
after a betrayal by di Fiscani or competitors pursuing one
of his employees to a private workshop, he is unwilling
to send his own assets, and instead hires a group of
unknown faces. He gives them as much information as
he has about the route di Fiscani travelled and a
description of the man, whom he knows as an engineer
rather than a priest, and sends his investigators on their
way.
The investigators travel by train to Point Bourne at
the border of Northforest and the Western Midlunds in
Cygnar, and then by riverboat up the Black River past
Corvis to the Llaelese border. They are supposed to leave
the ship before entering Khadoran-occupied Llael south
of Merywyn, at the occupied Cygnaran town of
Riversedge west of Drek Lake. From there they travel
east into the Bloodstone Marches, an area that is
officially not part of Cygnar or Llael and which therefore
is often used to smuggle men and materiel into the
Northern Crusade territory or Free Llael.
Their route ultimately takes the investigators to the
village of Greenfort on the Llaelese border, either by
travelling along the bank of Drek Lake or by crossing it
(though none of the locals willingly travel on the lake
these days). If they talk to villagers, they can learn that di
Fiscani travelled through Riversedge and the villages of
Ansel's Folly and Grym. The people of Greenfort,
however, deny having seen di Fiscani even though the
information the investigators have gained from Ansel's
Folly and Grym suggests he should have travelled to the
place. As a matter of fact, all the villagers in Greenfort
are cultists of Cyriss and know that di Fiscani has been
apprehended. He is still alive and held in the workshop,
which is hidden in the forest north of Greenfort.
If the players keep investigating, the villagers will at
first attempt to stall them, but they will soon attempt to
sneak out of the village and get advice from the priest in
charge of the workshop, who will attempt to first gauge
how much of a threat the investigators are (the cultists'
greatest worry is discovery by Protectorate and Khadoran
forces, since they are building parts of a nexus generator
that they are busy installing at the bottom of Drek Lake).
If the investigators seem like a threat, the villagers
attempt to lure them into the forest by telling them a
hunter has disappeared recently and otherwise drawing
their attention. In the forest, the cultists from the temple
attempt to kill the players or at least convince them that
whoever they are looking for may have fallen prey to
beasts of the forest, but if this fails and the players follow
the cultists' tracks to the workshop, the surviving
Cyrissists will panic. If the players can assure them of
their intention not to betray them to any officials, the
cultists may consider releasing di Fiscani, though this
requires some shrewd bargaining (the cultists' true
interest is installing the nexus generator at the bottom of
Drek Lake, so as long as they can distract investigators
from this aim they are willing to compromise). If the
players assault the workshop, the remaining cultists will
fight to defend it, but they will protect the devices they
are working on rather than di Fiscani, who may easily be
freed.
If the player take di Fiscani back to Greenfort, the
villagers, who may not be in on any bargain (if any has
been struck at all), will likely attack, though they are
poorly equipped. If di Fiscani is returned to Sinadora, he
will know that he is now considered anathema by the
cult, and will never again be able to steal anything for his
employer. He also fears for his life, since the cult may
want to silence him forever, even though he has never
revealed his true affiliation to Sinadora.
Pay and Pointers
Sinadora provides the investigators with a sketch of
Mateo di Fiscani and the information he has about his
travels (i.e. that he travelled up the Black River, booking
a passage on the River Dragon of Captain Kaelin Keehan
but leaving the ship just shy of Riversedge and getting
picked up from the eastern bank of the Black River on
the return voyage, for extra pay. The second time around
di Fiscani failed to be at the pickup point). After having
steamed past Riversedge while travelling upriver, the
River Dragon passes Riversedge again a week later on its
return voyage south, so di Fiscani probably didn't travel
far while he wasn't on the riverboat. Altogether it has
been nearly a month and a half since di Fiscani set out,
and about three weeks after his expected return.
Sinadora will pay each investigator 100 gc up front,
as well as their train and riverboat fares, and he will
provide a basic map of the area and a small amount of
equipment for their travels, like iron rations or travelling
cloaks and boots. If the investigators return with di
Fiscani's body (or news and proof of his death), they get
another 100 gc each, or 200 gc if they bring him back
alive. If any investigators should die, their pay is
distributed among the survivors.
It is possible to negotiate hazard pay. The starting rate
is 50 gc per character (100 gc for bringing di Fiscani
back alive), adjusted by a standard negotiation roll.
Lay of the Land
Though the territory near Drek Lake is nominally a
part of the Bloodstone Marches, it is actually a densely
forested area rather than the blasted lands so typical of
the Marches. There are few settlers in this area, but Drek
Lake, which is nearly 25 miles wide from its
southwestern to its northeastern banks, is home to three
villages at its banks – Ansel's Folly on the western bank,
Grym on the southern bank, close to Glimmerwood, and
the Free Llaelese village of Greenfort on the northeastern
bank.
Riversedge
Location: West bank of the Black River
Population: 200 (mostly Morridane, some
Midlunders), garrison force of 70 Winter Guard
Description: A tiny fortified waystation for
riverboats, Riversedge has been occupied by Khadoran
forces, though they could not mount more than a token
resistance to attacks if it Cygnaran forces tried to retake
Riversedge. However, in case of attacks or smuggling, it
is nearly impossible to prevent the local garrison from
notifying others through the use of signal rockets or
messenger pigeons. Riversedge does boast a battery of
cannons that can attack any riverboat, as well as two
heavy warjacks and a capable 'jack marshal. All
travellers passing through here are expected to report to
the garrison or be shelled. Even worse, even if well-
equipped attackers manage to elude or escape the
garrison, they will draw more Khadoran forces in short
order.
Travelling: 35 miles to Ansel's Folly, 25 miles to
Grym. Either journey requires crossing the Black River's
arms twice.
Locations and People of Note
Dragonfish Inn
The surprisingly large Dragonfish Inn, run by the
matronly Lacy Finnegan, caters mainly to riverboat crew.
She maintains a cool relationship with the Khadorans,
but is unwilling to take sides, since she feels she would
only end up losing no matter which side comes out the
victor. She would rather warn smugglers, spies or
saboteurs and send them on their way than betray them,
but if they insist on staying and make trouble she will
report them to the Kapitan.
When asked, Lacy Finnegan cannot recall ever
having seen di Fiscani (unsurprisingly, since it has been a
long time since he passed through the area. Ever since
the Cyrissist nexus at the bottom of Drek Lake has been
in the works, he has tried to keep a low profile by getting
off riverboats outside Riversedge).
Harbourmaster Quinn Bartley
The elderly Bartley sees fewer responsibilities these
days than he used to, since all traffic is passed through
the garrison forces and he is only called in when any
dockside labour needs to be organised. Sullenly resentful
of the changes in Riversedge, Quinn makes liberal use of
the gossip about his failing eyesight and hearing to aid
smugglers and fugitives when he can. As a matter of fact,
his senses aren't as dull by far as he makes them out to
be.
Unless he is being questioned by characters he
suspects of working with Khadorans, Quinn can be
helpful (standing up to the Kapitan goes a long way
towards earning Quinn's trust, but he isn't a fool and
always wary of agents putting on an act). Quinn
remembers di Fiscani passing through, though the last
time he saw him was months ago, and he was travelling
south. When asked about smugglers or other clandestine
travellers, Quinn circumspectly points out that such
travellers should rather take a boat or swim ashore before
coming to Riversedge these days, indicating that this is
the route he expects di Fiscani to have taken.
Kapitan Jachemir Gorashevich
A less than impressive officer, Gorashevich oversees
this unimportant outpost, all too aware that it is either a
dead end or a noose to hang himself with, considering
that any major incursions or smuggling via the Black
River will be laid at his doorstep.
Gorashevich tends to bully any riverboat captains and
their crew when he can, unless they are Khadoran, whom
he treats with sullen deference unless they are military.
At the same time Gorashevich is unwilling to show too
much force, lest the people of Riversedge decide they
would fare better by fighting rather than acquiescing. As
a result, the garrison is both full of bluster as well as
distinctly lacklustre.
Attempts to learn about di Fiscani from the Kapitan
will only be met with pointed questions (or with what
Gorashevich thinks are pointed questions). If
investigators aren't careful, they will invite pursuit by a
unit of manhunters if Gorashevich thinks he can gain
anything from it.
Gorashevich does not know anything about di
Fiscani.
Ansel's Folly
Location: Western bank of Drek Lake
Population: 120 (Morridane, Midlunder)
Description: Composed of fourteen sturdily built
wooden houses huddled inside wooden fortifications,
Ansel's Folly is an unimpressive village that nevertheless
has started becoming of great interest to smugglers and
spies alike (in fact, at any given time there are probably
at least three people – Cygnaran, Khadoran, and Llaelese
scouts mostly – watching the lake to spot smuggling
operations or troops. Everybody encourages belief in
dangerous predators in the lake to discourage clandestine
operators, though none of the spies believes in this). The
villagers mostly live off fishing and farming, as well as
serving as a waystation for traders. Despite the name, the
village is actually much safer than the other two Drek
Lake villages, since those are close to the forests.
Travelling: 25 miles to Greenfort, 20 miles to Grym,
35 miles to Riversedge (crossing the Black River twice),
10-15 miles to the Black River
Locations and People of Note
Landbridge Inn
One of the two buildings facing each other in the
village square, this is the slightly more prosperous-
looking one (though the lake cannot be viewed from any
of its rooms unless somebody climbed on the roof). The
Landbridge Inn mainly serves as a waystation for traders
and slightly better-off people who want to venture forth
into the wilderness (this is also why the inn serves as a
shop of sorts). It is run by Anson Scarrow, a bear of a
man who nevertheless has good business sense – good
enough to rat out spies or smugglers as long as the
Khadorans (or whoever comes along next) pay up and
make sure to only apprehend their marks well outside the
village limits. If this became known, Scarrow's life
expectancy could be measured in days.
If approached in the right way, Scarrow remembers di
Fiscani passing through the village irregularly, the last
time being about a month ago. He always stayed at his
inn.
Three Corners Inn
Unusually tall, thin and cadaverous-looking, Stevka
Akinova is the somewhat forbidding proprietess of the
Three Corners Inn (if asked about her appearance, she
will at first ignore the question, but if pushed, she will
say that she was ill as a child and leave it at that). The inn
is very plain and not in a very good state of repair, but
nevertheless the four rooms facing the lake are almost
always taken. Stevka is a devout Menite and suspects
Scarrow of violating the laws of hospitality, but there is
little she can do about that.
If asked about di Fiscani, she can give the players the
same information as Scarrow, though she is significantly
more hesitant and unwilling to accept payment for her
information (the best way to get her to talk would be to
be honest and say the adventurers want to rescue di
Fiscani). Stevka also knows that di Fiscani didn't travel
around the lake in the same direction, heading out in the
northern direction but returning from the south when he
came back.
Mayor Ansel Bancroft
Elderly and infirm of body, Ansel Bancroft is the
grandson of the founder of the village. He is somewhat
concerned about the way his village is slowly becoming
embroiled in the conflicts between Cygnar, Khador and
Llael, but he is simply helpless to do anything about it.
Mayor Bancroft cannot tell the adventurers anything
about di Fiscani, since he doesn't travel from his home
often these days.
Potentate Rosalyn Annalevna
Unusually for a formerly Cygnaran village, the
village priest is a Menite, not a Morrowan, though
Rosalyn actually is a member of the Old Faith rather than
the Protectorate version. She is well-respected in the
village both as a physician and as a protector, and while
she makes no secret of her belief that Morrowans are
misguided, she seeks to convert people by pointing out
the gifts Menoth provides, rather than by invoking the
penalties for forsaking the Creator.
Rosalyn remembers di Fiscani, especially because he
did not pay respects at the Menite shrine, nor at the
(unattended but well-kept) Morrowan one. She is wary of
revealing anything about the traveller because of the laws
of hospitality, but she is more willing to talk to Menites
(or people who can convincingly fake being Menites
through an appropriate Lore or Deceit roll).

Grym
Location: Southern Bank of Drek Lake
Population: 110 (mixed Cygnaran and Morridane)
Description: Heavily fortified with stone as well as
wood, the circular village consists of ten houses along
the walls, with a large central square. A small shrine to
Morrow has been erected right next to the one gate
leading into the village, which faces north. The village
population mainly consists of trappers and hunters, and
no-one ventures outside or lets strangers in after dark –
perhaps unsurprisingly considering the looming
Glimmerwood to the south.
Travelling: 20 miles to Ansel's Folly, 30 miles to
Greenfort, 25 miles to Riversedge (crossing the Black
River twice), 10 miles to the Black River
Locations and People of Note
Fergus Rusling, Hunter
Fergus, a wiry young man with prematurely grey hair
and beard, is one of the best hunters of Grym, hunting
with a crossbow and a two-pronged spear. From a small
ritual tattoo on his neck, anyone in the know can see that
he is bonded to the Wolves of Orboros (and in fact an
entire pack of ten Wolves lives in the village, ready to
come to Fergus' aid if need be).
Fergus knows about the smugglers and any other
goings-on in the area, and readily recalls having seen di
Fiscani, who passed several times through Grym coming
from the east. He is as much interested in the potential
trouble that will follow the missing engineer as in any
other news that he might pass on to the Circle. Fergus
does not accept bribes in money, but in useful items like
spyglasses, metal crossbow parts, or metal blades.
If asked about the other villages, Fergus does not
have much in the way to report – except for saying he
considers the people in Greenfort “odd,” mainly because
they are very isolationist, and certainly never travel to
Grym. They are coolly polite to travellers, but otherwise
distinctly unhelpful.
Gilian Duff, Trapper
Ageing and grey-haired, the rugged trapper knows the
area well, and is one of the few people still busying
themselves with the lake (her nets do bring in fish, and
she would not say anything has changed at all, except for
sometimes seeing an odd glow in the water near the north
bank that quickly fades). She has heard that fishing boats
have been holed and sunk and fishers gone missing in
Greenfort (she does not know these are false rumours to
discourage interest in the lake), so few people dare
venture onto the lake now. If travellers ask her to put
them up for the night, Gilian agrees to do so, though she
superstitiously watches them in the mirror as they enter
the house to spot if they are grymkin.
Gilian's profession makes her intimately aware of the
passage of smugglers. She knows there are rangers
occasionally patrolling the south bank of the lake, but she
does not know their schedules. Occasionally, she has
guided smugglers past the scouts, but she generally steers
well clear of troops (even though she is not a member of
the druids).
For a few feet of thin rope or wire, or some nails or
tools, Gilian will also tell the adventurers she has seen di
Fiscani, though he has never hired her help. She also
warns travellers of travelling at night, because there
could be grymkin around that steal equipment, food, or
sometimes even body parts. She can also tell travellers
about the most dangerous predators of the area, the
razorbats, devil rats and duskwolves.
Gilian doesn't really know anything about Greenfort,
because she has never travelled there.
Olek Fedorovich, Woodcutter
The young and burly Olek knows the Glimmerwood
to the south particularly well, but generally never travels
beyond the edge of the forest if he can help it, unless he
is being accompanied by hunters or trappers. He is
definitely not as courageous as his appearance might
suggest. He will never abandon fellow travellers when
they are in danger, but if he should be the last man
standing he will run, even if his travelling companions
are not actually dead yet. Olek can also provide travellers
with a place to stay for the night.
Olek does not remember seeing di Fiscani, but he
admits this might be due to him keeping his eyes on the
woods, while di Fiscani usually travelled at the bank of
the lake (as a matter of fact, di Fiscani did this to get
spotted by the people in Greenfort). Olek has worked for
the people in Greenfort, and considers them reliable but a
tight-knit, close-mouthed community.
Olek also warns the travellers about grymkin, and
advises to always wear polished silver coins tucked into
the brims of their caps, so the Grymkin will take the
coins rather than the travellers' souls.
Greenfort
Location: North bank of Drek Lake
Population: 130 (Cygnaran, Thurian, Llaelese)
Description: Extremely well-fortified, Greenfort sits
very close to the bank of the lake, with a small pier
jutting out into the waters (though the boats there clearly
have not seen any use for a long time). The palisades
running around the village are very well-cut and fire-
hardened, and the fifteen timberframe houses, which
always have two storeys, have heavy doors and arrow
slits in the upper storeys that allow archers to fire at
targets beyond the palisades. The bases of the palisades
towards the river are clad in stone as a protection against
devil rats coming from the lake.
All the people in Greenfort are cultists of Cyriss, but
masquerade as Morrowans. It would take a close search
of their homes to find the idols of the Maiden, which are
usually concealed in compartments in the ceiling near
staircases. All the houses have alarm bells, so if the
adventurers make a nuisance of themselves, the villagers
are willing to try and stop them (they will not kill them
right away, but will fetch Makarin, who will decide on
what to do with them depending on the severity of their
discoveries. Makarin isn't a killer of men, unlike Tara
Lowys, but discovery always bodes ill).
Travelling: 25 miles to Ansel's Folly, 30 miles to
Grym
Locations and People of Note
Rosso di Gilfyn, Hunter
The young Rosso di Gilfyn, the best hunter of the
village, regularly tours the surrounding woods, laying
traps and making sure that the path to the workshop is
always marked and no dangerous predators are around.
Rosso knows about di Fiscani, of course, but will
feign ignorance. If his deception is discovered, he
attempts to lead travellers on a wild goose chase.
Friar Godwyn Hurst
The portly and jovial Hurst keeps the small
Morrowan shrine in Greenfort. He has his act down pat,
but out of concern that he might offend Morrow (Hurst
knows deities are real, so his fear is quite justified), the
shrine isn't quite properly set up with all the usual
symbols or objects, though this takes a Lore (Morrow)
roll against target number 14 to figure out. If this is
pointed out to him, Hurst will either claim he broke the
object out of clumsiness and hasn't been able to get a
replacement, or thanks the characters for the advice,
playing the humble friar who is faithful but not too well
educated.
When asked about di Fiscani, Hurst will lie, though
he is one of the best liars in town (INT 4, Deception 2,
can re-roll Deception rolls). He will never alert the
temple himself, but tell one of the younger cultists to
send out the message.
In his house, which is next to the shrine and were
Hurst lives together with two families, there is a small
alchemical lab where the false friar concocts the
alchemicals the cult needs to go underwater to install the
nexus generator.
Shannon Burney, Huntress
Shannon, young and redhaired as well as keenly
literate, usually hunts together with Rosso when she isn't
tending the rat traps. She isn't really comfortable with the
way the cult has acted recently, so she will attempt to
warn travellers off unless she knows they have already
talked to Hurst, Yorrik or di Gilfyn. She will not betray
the cult, though.
In her house, which is right next to the gate leading to
the pier, she keeps eight mechanikal diving helmets as
well as bottles of an alchemical that make characters less
susceptible to cold and thus allow them to operate under
water.
Razorswarm Inn
The inn appears plain but has an impressive metal
sign of a razorbat, with the tips of the wings sharpened
like razors. Logan Yorrik spends most of his time
providing the villagers with food and some relaxation,
and also giving them a place to warm up after a night in
the lake. Many stuffed fish, rats and razorbats adorn the
walls, as well as one hideously huge set of jaws that
Yorrik claims comes from one of the lake serpents that
have recently appeared (a closer look and a Lore (Beasts)
roll against target number 12 shows the jaws are fake,
though, having been assembled from deer antlers and
assorted teeth. When this is pointed out, Logan admits
the fraud but prides himself on the looks of the thing,
hoping to divert attention).
When Logan is asked about di Fiscani, he will lie
(INT 4, Deception 2), but if he is found out and pressed,
he claims he did see di Fiscani outside the village and
thought he was a Cygnaran spy who was examining the
lake to find out about why the waters have recently
become extremely dangerous to sail. He will then give
the characters a room, but the investigators will be
drugged with sleeping gas from hidden compartments
near the bases of the walls of their rooms at night (target
number 16 to resist, even on a successful resistance, INT
and PER drop to 1 for an hour). Watchful characters may
spot Rosso leaving the village in the evening before the
gates are closed, as he is on his way to the temple to
report on the visitors.
If the adventurers investigate the town in daylight,
they will not be attacked or draw too much attention
unless they start asking questions, since it is always
better to arouse no suspicion at all.
Oddities in Greenfort
Attentive adventurers can spot some trails left by the
actions of the cult that could arouse their suspicion:
Heavy Machinery Trail (target number 15)
Though the cultists try to erase any tracks, constantly
carrying heavy machinery to the pier has left the soil
compacted outside the northern gate of the village, and
carved faint runnels into the wood of the pier as well.
Moss and soil have been used to cover the the tracks
towards the woods, but they are not properly rooted.
Water Trail (target number 14)
Constantly travelling over the pier on their way back
to the village has left a faint greenish trail from lake
algae that runs all over the pier to the Razorswarm Inn,
and is even evident in the hard-to-clean crevices of the
flagstones.
Similarly, the water plants near the pier are clearly
not healthy, since there is a noticeable gap where the
cultists drag their equipment into the lake.
Hunter Tracks (target number 13)
The cultists working in the temple still come to the
village for some rest and relaxation, and their less-than-
expert woodcraft has caused noticeable trails in the
forest. Additionally, the hunters of Greenfort mark the
path through the woods with scratch marks on the trees
so the cultists can follow it without getting lost.
Guide Ropes
If a character should dive into the lake near the pier,
he will find guide ropes that are meant to help the cultists
find their way to the geomantically significant spot
nearly five miles toward the centre of the lake. If the
characters should somehow be able to reach that point,
they will see an already finished pressurised dome with
large caisson entrances. Inside there is the partially set up
nexus generator; a cultist of Cyriss or Mechanik could
easily deduce the device is close to being finished.
The Temple
The temple is about half a mile into the woods and
straddles another geomantically important site, which
allows the cult to run a nexus generator to power their
mechanika. The temple is not truly underground but
rather a series of low wooden buildings covered with
earth and clods of moss, making it blend nearly naturally
into the landscape except for a faint hum that can be
heard as adventurers approach it. The temple has barred
windows which are normally covered by blinds with
narrow arrow slits. While the workshops are in use, the
arrow slits are closed from the inside so no light escapes.
The area around the temple hasn't been cleared of
underbrush in order not to give away its position.
However, there are concealed pitfalls scattered around
the temple. On a 1 on 1d6, an adventurer has a nasty fall
on wooden spikes unless he can roll PER or AGL
(whichever is higher) against target number 13. An
adventurer falling into a pit takes a POW PHY+STR+2
damage roll. If this inflicts 5 or more points of damage,
the character also loses 1 SPD until the damage is healed.
There are always two guards at the single entrance, as
well as the Galvanizer a little further back. In total there
are fifteen cult engineers working in the temple in
addition to the named characters, though only Makarin
and Mateo are actual priests. The inside of the temple
consists of a central dome of about 12 yards diameter that
houses the nexus generator, with six individual
workshops arrayed around that in a circle (each
workshop is a room about three by five yards big, with a
mechanikal lightsource and cots for the engineers stowed
on the side during the daytime). A short, slanted corridor
leads inside to the main dome, meaning it is impossible
to see the nexus generator from the outside. Anyone who
enters the temple interior will be attacked from all sides
at once, with the engineers easily gaining cover from the
doorways into their workshops.
Mateo's workshop is not barred, but his leg is chained
to the table, giving him just enough freedom of
movement to enter the main dome.
Damaging the Nexus Generator
Damaging the generator is a singularly bad idea. The
generator has ARM 16 and 24 damage boxes, and is
considered stationary with no back arc. Any attack that
inflicts 5 or more points of damage risks setting off a
catastrophic detonation, which takes places at once on 5-
6 on d6 or when the generator loses its last damage box.
The explosion deals a boosted POW 16 blast damage roll
to anyone inside the temple, a normal POW 16 blast
damage roll to anyone within 16 yards of the temple's
outside walls, and POW 8 blast damage to anyone within
32 yards of the temple but further away than 16 yards.
People in the temple will also be buried by the collapsing
ceiling, and survivors will surely attract the attention of
the villagers, if not Khadoran, Llaelese, Cygnaran or
Protectorate patrols in the area.
Holding the generator hostage is a sound tactic,
though not one that will endear the adventurers to
Makarin.

them to go with Mateo (who will keep the cult's secrets,
well aware that he will be in mortal danger for the rest of
his life now).
If the adventurers leave with Makarin's blessing and
knowledge of the full operations of the cult, he will
immediately set about destroying the temple and
removing all equipment to the village, where he dumps it
into the lake far away from the nexus generator. The cult
will attempt to find another way to finish the generator
later, as soon as matters have cooled down, but Makarin,
Lowys and Telloso will be a dire enemies in the future
who will seek revenge for the damage to their reputation
in the cult.
Extremely shrewd adventurers who recall Sinadora's
mercenary nature may be willing to angle for a
cooperation between the cult and the weapons merchant.
If this is phrased well, it could be an interesting option
that Makarin could accept.

“Hey, I'm a member too!”

Even a Cyrissist cultist among the adventurers will
not easily spot more obvious evidence of the village's
nature, but if all adventurers should obviously be
Cyrissists, they will receive a visit by Makarin, who will
invite them to stay and help with the cult's holy works.
In a battle, an obvious Cyrissist among the
adventurers will be exhorted to make his friends
surrender, if not to fight with his true brethren. If an
adventurer Cyrissist should not cease to oppose the
