/// Ung. I imagine the PC's community ravaged by the gang of four, people
keeling over everwhere, contaminated with all four diseases at once maybe ?
Horrible. THAT motivates PCs.

/// I KNEW IT. Call the Inquisition. Let the Sacred Order of the Golden Lance
purify your mind of these horrors. No, it won't hurt - much. The holy exorcism
ritual implies three days on the rack, followed by dipping in vinegar for a few
