Comments in bold are how the promises could be twisted.The Church of Nerull would guarantee the following:1. They would remove all plague and disease from the city of PL in 4 weeksBy either killing off everyone diseased, or exiling them, or just by stopping from making any more plague carriers, and letting the remaining diseased die.  Even without such extreme tactics, how many worshippers will they get by proclaiming the other gods are powerless? 2. They would lower the current mortality rate in PL to mimic ATAnimate them as zombies just before they die.  They're only half dead.  Kill off most of the AT population, and combine with 1 to taste.  Notice there's no time limit on this one.  Killing off all of the citizens would make the mortality rate zero after the initial jump.  Then, the corpses would be reanimated.  Instant army. 3. They would provide complete support to the military in the upcoming campaign (3 Clerics per company of troops plus 500 healing potions per month)These clerics would be the de facto generals, as has been said before.  Even if they don't officially take over, Charm can go a long ways.  And if soldiers die, more skeletons for all.In exchange, Mortimer would have to deed a specific plot of land in PL to the church of Nerulls use for 50 years. The plot of land would be used to build a church of Nerull. This specific plot of land covered 3 of the 4 churches in PL, and would cover the land currently held by the churches of Pelor, Heironeous, and Kord. The ony remaining church owning land in PL would be Nerull (massive plot of land), and a small chapel of St. Cuthbert.Does Mortimer even OWN the land?  Seems strange that a single paladin would have all those churches in a single title deed.  Did he specifically say he was "seceding all of his rights to the property"?  Two can play at this game.How did the church of heroneous lose its powers?  Is more elaboration possible, or are the players reading this.  If so,  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
