He then set about stamping out all magic use by and executing as heretics all magic users and all noblemen who supported magic users. At the time of the campaign Southern Europe suffers under the oppresive (and corrupt) regime of the Grand Holy Inquisitos.Anyway back the the questionA major villain imc was Dr Yakub an Alchemist, financed by a Secret Society of Merchants who had discovered a method of restoring youth and vigour to aged bodies by submersing them in a device called the 'Blood Crucible'. Even dead body parts could be reattached to living ones if submerged in the crucible. Only problem was the Blood Crucible required lots and lots of human(oid) blood to work...The PCs (who were Church Inquisitors) were alerted to the fact when a severed hand was found in the town sewer drains, later a member of the City Council was found murdered and his diary gave hints of Dr Yakubs work and his many victims whose bodies he had hidden in the towns sewers. The final stand-off had the crucible spill over Dr Yakub and a whole lot of dead bodies which merged into a huge undead abberation with the insane Dr Yakub at its center</blockquote>
