This was the result:The cleric must endure a test of faith. He gains an illness that costs him 1 point each of Strength, Agility, and Stamina. The ability score loss heals at the normal rate of 1 point per day. The cleric may not use magic to heal the loss. If the cleric endures the test to the satisfaction of the deity, he retains his magical abilities. If not (judge’s discretion), his disapproval range immediately increases by another point Below I provided potential "tests of faith" for the upcoming session. I'm curious to hear what other Judges have done for these kind of situationsI decided that I would present 3 options and roll for it during the session. The first two options are simple sacrifices of something of value, while the third involves a quest.Tests of Faith[Spoiler]After all the rats and that last spider have been mopped up. Nyarlathotep, The Crawling One, contacts Eni the Priest who responds by collapsing to the floor in a coma. The prophet of Cthulhu communicates telepathically through images.  Eni's constant requests upon his deity have irritated Nyarlathotep. Recompense must be paid.  1) It commands Eni to sacrifice the Rod of Rulership2) It command Eni to sacrifice 2000 gp value in coin or items. 3) It commands Eni to desecrate the Tomb of The Shahzadah (prince). He needs to find and destroy the shade or corpse of Shahzadah Khalim Azo-Fahir (Eni is unclear what it actually is). Then Eni needs to take the Sword, Robe, Necklace, Ring, and coins found in its tomb and meet with Cutty the Chronicler. Then those items are to be ritually sacrificed on the shore of Atha'al Oasis. Eni's current lowest Disapproval Rating is set at 5. His Dispproval Rating will return to normal once he destroys the thing and and makes the proper sacrifice. The forgotten Tomb is several days travel into the Blood Plains of Esh. It constantly calls to Eni like a telepathic beacon.The tomb uses the 5 room dungeon design with a trap and a couple of undead creatures. It's from the module "Off the Beaten Path: Desert Excursions." All of the Off The Beaten modules feature one to two page adventures set in a specific terrain. It's really handy for the point crawl style campaign that I'm running. I found them at DrivethruRPG.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
