Cathedral never officially consecrated

[Timault Azal-Darkwarren]

I was just musing about what this might mean for the people of Sandpoint. If, both during and after the tragedy of the Swallowtail Festival, they never truly consecrate the cathedral. Here's some ideas...

- party needs to go to a particular grove and find a particular type of wood so that a new sacred bonfire can be built (random wilderness encounters ensue)

- perhaps an evil influence begins to seep in and affect the clergy (Pazuzu, Lamashtu, Malfeshnekor, another demon lord of corruption, etc.)

- doubt in Desna grows and a new clergy takes over

- any other ideas?

PC cleric takes over the temple.

I thought that too, but figured that the new head priest should not necessarily leave the cathedral for months at a time going to far-away places and the such. But it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities.

Another idea:

- undead become restless in the boneyard, without the protection of a consecrated cathedral

Unless you're planning big changes to the AP, no one should be dissapearing for more than a month, and none too far at that.

It would DEFINITELY fulfill the requirement of a PC having an attachment to Sandpoint.

Some of these places are weeks away via horseback - even in Varisia.

I think it is one of those things which you can put out there and let the players choose how important it is.

If they pick it up and decide they want to do something about it then you have a cool RP opportunity.
If they don't just go with what the AP says:
