Honestly, my first thought was"Humakt sends one of his Swords riding into town to claim his own. In Glorantha, being killed by a Death worshipper *is* natural causes".

(For added cool factor, the Humakti can challenge the Chalana Arroy healer to a game of chess; if she wins, he'll ride out of town again and come back next year. If he wins, she'll stand aside.)

But I'm interested to hear the other replies. :)
