We are very eager to make use of the Idol of Nergal. Kingsmouth has surpassed its quota of turmoil. But in London, perhaps. Or New York.
For now, the cursed statue will be safe in the warded church. Hopefully, the man Hawthorne will help us to understand some of its Akkadian secrets.
There are many such ancient relics stored along the New England coast. The Illuminati amass them to feel powerful, but they lack the courage to control chaos.
We have the courage.
Illuminati
Please don't ship the Idol of Nergal to New York. I am so not in the mood to deal with Akkadian hell gods right now. The warded church will do fine for storage. At least it'll keep Hawthorne busy.
The New England coast is filled with caches from the prohibition era. After prohibition, we started using them to stockpile certain kinds of artifacts - the kinds we weren't able to make an effective manual for.
If we ever find a way to control the idol, you'll be the first to know.

The Idol of Nergal is cursed, as you have no doubt witnessed. The Akkadian god of the underworld summons the dead whenever he feels threatened. When the Illuminati first recovered the idol, they put it on display at one of their infamous council parties.
Imagine how that turned out.
It is just like them to dig up something dangerous and then toss it into a cave somewhere. There are things in this world better left undiscovered. If they must be found, better it be by us. For now, the warded church will do as a place of storage.

Walkthrough
There is only one tier to this mission.
Tier 1/1
- Pick up the idol
- At your feet where you got the mission
- Deliver the idol to Henry Hawthorne
- Start running!!
- You will acquire the "Curse of Nergal" as soon as you pick up the idol. This curse has two effects:
- Zombies will aggro you from a greater range than normal. You will have to swing wider from them than normal if you won't want them to attack you.
- Periodically there will be a Reanimated Warrior that spawns and attacks you. The longer you take to get to the church, the more often you will have to fight these off.
- Note that the Reanimated Warrior can make you Hindered with a Snare - and so any other zombies chasing you because of the increased aggro range will be able to catch up and attack you as well.
- You will want to get to the church as quickly as possible, without training a bunch of monsters behind you
