They had to travel through the Wood Wondrous and overcome many strange, allegorical perils before reaching Abberlane on Whitsunday. There they were witness a great miracle: Abberlane had been blessed with an anchoress, a deeply devout woman who had immured herself in a stone cell many years earlier, shutting herself off from the whole world in order to give herself over wholly to the Five. The PCs discovered that the anchoress had died giving birth to a baby girl, even though no man had been in her presence for many years. The PCs claimed the baby and brought her to officials of the Church. She was named Agnes and brought to Canglen Cathedral to be raised by agents of Bishop Martin.The PCs have had a passing interest in the welfare of little Agnes ever since, and they have heard that she has displayed many miraculous abilities. For whatever reason, though, the Church has been silent with the PCs about the nature of Agnes or her curious powers.What the PCs do not know is that the Church believes Agnes to be the Fiery Lamb, a prominent figure in apocalyptic scripture. It is said that the death of the Lamb is the event that heralds the Reckoning Day, also known as the end-times for the world.Currently, Agnes is a little girl, about ten years old. She is slight of build, with plain features and brown, curly hair. But her eyes are serious and searching, and even at her tender age she has already demonstrated considerable talent as an instrument of the Five. She has been kidnapped by the insane ex-Seeker knight, Sir Gregory the Risen. Gregory knows that what the Church suspects is true; he hopes to sacrifice Agnes in a bid to kick off the end-times, which will destroy the ruck-men -- along with the whole world, but that is a detail lost on the demented Gregory.Agnes was built using a 32-point stat buy, adjusted for a child by using d20 modern’s guidelines. She is a quasi-deity per  Deities and Demigods, and has a special ability to channel the angel Antioch, described above. Channeling is detailed in the Book of Exalted Deeds.My best estimate of a quasi-deity template is something like CR +4 (using Grim Tales Creature CR calculator). I used FFG’s Monster’s Handbook to estimate the impact of her channel Antioch ability, which is the equivalent of a 9th level spell-like ability.AGNES, THE FIERY LAMB ----------- CR 16Female human child quasi-deity cleric 10NG Medium humanoidInit +0; Senses Listen +3, Spot +3Languages Common-----AC 13, touch 13, flat-footed 11 hp 90 (10 HD); DR 10/epicImmune ability loss, energy drain, transmutation, mind-affectingResist fire 5; SR 32Fort +10, Ref +3, Will +10-----Spd 60 ftMelee club +5/+0 (1d6-2)Base Atk +7; Grp +5Special Attacks turn undead 8/daySpells (CL 10, +7 ranged touch) 5—break enchantment, flame strike (d, DC 18), greater command (DC 18) 4—cure critical wounds, dismissal (DC 17), restoration, spell immunity (d) 3—daylight, dispel magic, locate object, remove curse, searing light (d) 2—aid, calm emotions, heat metal (d, DC 15), lesser restoration, silence (DC 15), zone of truth (DC 15) 1—bane (DC 14), bless, cure light wounds, doom (DC 14), remove fear, sanctuary (d, DC 14) 0—create water, cure minor wounds, detect magic, guidance, light, resistance d: domain spell.

She will stop aging once she reaches adulthood, and she does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe. The only way for a her to die is through special circumstances, usually by being slain in magical or physical combat.</blockquote>
