The Blightreaper


 * }

Synopsis
After Franz Lohner discovers the plague is caused by a Chaos runesword called the Blightreaper, the Heroes make their way through the dark sewers of Bögenhafen to the upper city in order to find the runesword and take it back to Taal's Horn Keep. To claim the sword, they need to find the keys to the Sanctum Malificarum where Father Kraussman has hidden the runesword. They locate the body of Kraussman, who was killed trying to flee the city, close to the Church, and make their way to the Sanctum. After finding the hidden switches needed to open the Sanctum, the Heroes take the runesword and escape through the Bridge of Shadows.

Event
To make their way through the pitch-black sewers, the Heroes need to take torches with them and light the braziers found along the way. Heroes carrying a torch can still block and attack, but do minimal damage. Unlike the dark section in Hunger in the Dark, adjusting the gamma setting of the game does not help for better visuality, but enemies are still taggable. At the end of the sewers, three gates need to be opened with three chained winches, similar to the arena event in Righteous Stand.

Finale
When entering the church where the Blightreaper is found, the Heroes need to hold off waves of enemies (including Stormvermin, Savages and/or Plague Monks) while finding five hidden switches. The location of the switches is fixed, but the sequence in which they can be activated is randomized. The Switches can either be Loose Books, Torches on the wall or a Suspicious Brick. After opening the gate to the Sanctum Malificarum, the Runesword can be grabbed and a route of escape opens up. At the moment the Blightreaper is grabbed, all remaining health of the Heroes is made grey, making a fast escape essential.
