/// Now that's my absolute favourite ! "Give them the unexpected" is my motto. I just wonder how to fit this with the "fire and brimstone", as you say, credo and attitude of the rokari. Perhaps... at a reading for dronari, simple and honest men ? Far removed from the Episcope / Watcher's concerns ?

And why not have an agent of the Inquistion lurk in the congregation ? And run back to the Episcope to warn him of his flock's mistakes ? And the PCs coming back to these nice people find them, I don't know, all deported back to Seshnela or worse ? This has possibilities.
