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 while trying to flee the city, and make their way to the temple. After finding various 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 provide better visibility, but Enemies can still be Tagged. At the end of the sewers, three Gates need to be opened, each with a Chain Winch, similar to the arena event in Righteous Stand.

Finale
When entering the temple 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. Their location 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. When the Blightreaper is grabbed, the heroes are put into the Wounded state, making a fast escape essential.
