Once a curious servant girl in Ostland, she stumbled across

called out to her and guided her to a book. Despite being

visited daily to read more and was soon twisted into a most
favoured servant of the dark powers.
She murdered her employer and sought to spread the truth of
Slaanesh to all, beginning her campaign of corrup)on as a

Upon his defeat, Gre a Ascended will screech in indignant
rage, a blast of chaos energy thundering from her, pushing all
nearby back and the waves of energy slamming into the walls
and ceiling. The cavern begins to shake as rocks begin to
tumble. The characters need to make it to Area Three and
climb the ladder quickly. They have 10 rounds to do so before
the cavern collapses on them, burying them alive!
As they leave, Father Berthold uses the last of his life, “Taal is
with you!” He cries before finally, blessedly expiring.
The characters feel a warmth spread in them. This is the
Miracle of Taal.
Area Three: The ante-chamber

This small cavern is covered with daubing and symbols holy to
Taal. Mounted are animal furs and pelts as well as various feeds
stored in nooks. Aside from the ladder up, the cave provides a
natural doorway leading north.
GM Call Out
The Miracle of Taal

Taal has observed the righteousness in purging the
corrup)on of his temple and rewards the PCs for their
support. Each PC has 1D10 +TB Hit Points restored,
they lose that 1D10’s worth of corrup)on points as
they have shown their pure hearts and for the next 24
hours, every successful combat Test results in a Cri)cal
Hit.
End of Part Five

Concluding The adventure.
With the death of Gre a and defeat of the cult, the chao)c
haze over the village will end. What will the villagers make of
the revela)ons? What will they do?
When the PCs make it back to Nuln, it is up to them how they
wish to explain the horrors they have seen. It might excuse
the lack of cart they were supposed to bring back. But they
definitely need a break!
Award the PCs 200xp and 2 Fate points each. Award them
addi)onal xp and Reselience if you feel they have earned it.
