The Unmasked Betrayer
Read Aloud
Rain lashes the open nave as black candles burn around the cracked altar. Kaelor raises one hand over the stone while two acolytes block the aisle, and pale spirits drag themselves from the crypt stairs. The broken bell swings in the dark, ready to ring when you cross the marked floor.

Battlefield Zones
1
Ruined Nave
Rain-soaked nave; fallen pillars divide the floor and grant half cover.
2
Cracked Altar
Black candles surround the altar; Kaelor stands here with the ledger hidden beneath the cracked stone.
3
Crypt Stairs
Broken steps descend into darkness; spectral hands claw up from the crypt floor.
Terrain Levers
- Destroy the cracked bell: AC 13, 12 HP; each hit deals visible damage to the rite.
- Smear or break three black-candle sigils: an action adjacent to a sigil, DC 13 Intelligence (Religion) or Wisdom (Religion).
- Force Kaelor away from the altar: while he is not within 5 feet of it, the soul-binding rite gains no strength that round.
- Radiant or dawn-aligned magic used on the circle suppresses its next bell effect. Fallen pillars provide half cover.
