This group task begins with Apothecary Cadmael in the middle of Oceangreen Village. You must have completed his solo task, "A Secret Hidden in Plain Sight", before you can request this one.
You say, 'Hail, Apothecary Cadmael' Apothecary Cadmael says 'How do you do, _____? I seem to be running a bit low on [supplies] for healing at the moment, so if you have fallen ill or become injured, I'm afraid that I will have to urge you to seek out some other traveler with a degree of healing skill. My apologies!' You say, 'Supplies?' Apothecary Cadmael says 'We have recently experienced a rather nasty spate of illness in our fine village. People are falling ill, and we can't seem to figure out what is wrong with them! I've tried everything - lilyroot, ashenmoss, even fresh purple flangers - but nothing seems to help. The strong can weather the disease and return to health in time, but those who are young and vulnerable or old and infirm... they may not be so lucky. I'm fresh out of [ideas].' You say, 'Ideas?' Apothecary Cadmael says 'My only thought is that perhaps this has something to do with that [vile temple] outside of the village. Have you seen that place? It's disgusting and completely ridden with disease.' You say, 'What vile temple?' Apothecary Cadmael says 'I've heard from some of the others that the people in that underground temple are worshipping Bertoxxulous, the disease god! If that is the case, perhaps someone should [investigate] to find out if their disgusting plague worship is causing the illnesses in the village. Or, perhaps you are prepared to [storm] the temple and root out the corruption within?' You say, 'I am prepared to storm it' Apothecary Cadmael says 'Thank you for your offer of help. I leave it to you to carry the cleansing light of Mithaniel Marr into the darkness. I can transport you into the temple when you are [ready].' You have been assigned the task 'A Corrupted Arch Priest'. With the Bertoxxulian cipher solved and Vaxtzn the Putrifier banished from the Temple of Bertoxxulous, the next step to cleanse the land of these vile cultists is to dispatch their human leader, the Arch Priest Cronkle. He lays runes of warding and clouds of disease throughout his lair, so any adventurers would be well-advised to proceed with caution. His most trusted lieutenants will surely possess some means of protection to hand out to the lesser worshippers, so they may provide the key to penetrating the lair of the Arch Priest. You say, 'Ready!' Apothecary Cadmael says 'Good luck to you!' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Temple of Bertoxxulous.
