Sacred Covenant

Description

Blood Mass is tonight – and Knyaz Brencis and his retinue will be at the church to oversee the collection of tithes. We’re worried about Mum. Vrakhiri don’t look kindly on the weak.

Guide

After meeting with Anca, return home and brew the herbal recipe. If you follow the Instructions from Anca correctly (hot water and three pinches of herbs), Coen’s mother, Esme, survives the encounter with the Vrakhir at the Blood Mass.

If you fail to brew the herbs before the Blood Mass, or don’t follow the instructions correctly, Esme is killed during the sequence.

1	Thanks to Anca’s herbs, Mum made it through this mass. But Brencis made it clear that he won’t tolerate such weakness among his subjects. What do we do now?
