Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ydars" data-source="post: 4585728" data-attributes="member: 62992">If you want someone close to the PC become evil, then you have the following possibilities that I can think of; 1) The use of one of your 4 artefacts or others, working off forbidden magic, actually corrupts the user slowly. So this character gradually becomes more and more corrupted until they hear the call of Trakis themselves and begin to dream of him; at that point madness is only a short dance away. 2) Someone or something the person loves/cherishes is threatened and they come to see the Sacred Stair as their saviour for some reason. If this character's wife has been driven mad, perhaps the character has been promised healing for her if the characters serves the Lord Harvester. Once the PC starts to question the Sacred Stair religion then this character will be instructed to watch and report on the PC. If you want a reason why this character's actions don't immediately get the party killed, perhaps Trakis instructs the Sacred Stair not slay the party as he sees them as future servants (given that they wield power akin to his). 3) The character is just very afraid of death and does not want to die. He wants to believe in the religion of the sacred stair and as the PC finds out more, he becomes more and more vocal and always tries to explain what the PC has found, dismissing their evidence. As time goes on this character will report the PC to the Sacred Stair, perhaps thinking that they are doing good by helping the PC. A reward of a magic item from the stair might lead to this character becoming evil via the corruption noted in 1. All I have time for now.</blockquote>
