They are told that they may keep all the spoils, but generously return a lot of it.A large feast is thrown for the conquering heroes. At the end of the feast, Tiberius, the centaur high priest tells them he has seen a vision:  A large statue dressed in ecclesiastical robes weathers many storms, but after the final storm, 6 carrion birds, one larger than the others, sever the head of the statue. One of the birds sits in place of the statue and becomes a hideous head.  The group quickly discerns this to mean that the newly selected Patriarch is an evil man. They spend much time and several spells trying to figure out who the carrion birds are:1- Ignace II2- Arcade Delsarrion3- Zoric Greyblade4- ?5- ?large- Unknown not a public figure.Having gained possession of the holy tree from the centaurs, the party determines that it should be planted at Bastion, not at Adlerweg as originally planned. They also determine that they should plant the tree simulataneously to trying to eliminate the Patriarch. Through contacts with Edmund, the last patriarchs Chief of Staff, who had helped them previously and Gorions contact, the leader of the Cuthbertian faction, Fergus Lockerbie, they were able to set in motion a coup attempt within the Church.The party went about prepping the site for the tree planting and prepared to defend it. Once planted, they wished it into mature form, then wished it into a power nexus tied to existing lay lines. A burst of undead destroying holiness spread rapidly out from the tree...Two days later, a lone figure rapidly approaching, was identified as Keth Anar. Approaching, he told the group: "Your coup attempt has failed."</blockquote>
