Town Cryer excerpt: intercepted letter

This letter was found near a bloody pulp:

Dear Hilda,

A most terrible occurance has happened. Anke, our guardian here in the common neighbourhood, was accused of witchcraft and put to the flames. Luckily a band of Sisters just arrived in time, because I warned them. They gave the Witch hunters a good smacking and freed poor Anke from a terrible death. Though Anke was freed, the Inquisition was aroused and made an accusation against Audilia, one of our beloved Matriarchs. I tell you the world is comming to an end; Sigmarites fighting Sigmarites here in Mordheim, where evil lurks in every corner. There are reports of orcs and dark elves at the south gate invading the city out of greed of this accursed stones. Why are they fighting amongst themselves, when those evil forces are so close?
I don't know what has become of Audilia and her band, they swiftly left the common neighbourhood after they freed Anke. But these are dark times for the Sisters indeed. Please, if you see Marice tell her to fetch her herbs. The ruins are no longer safe for the healers among the Sisters.
I heard one of the band members say they would go to the Rock to report and then cleanse the city from evil once and for all. I don't think this is the last we've seen of this zealot priest, nor of Audilia. Blood will fill the streets once more. I can feel it... But accusing Sisters of witchcraft goes one bridge to far!
Please publish some report in the Town Cryer (not under my name of course), for this isn't as it should be, I don't want to be the next one burning on a pyre...

Never underestimate the perseverance of the Templars of Sigmar! Lo, for though a dozen of our number should fall, we will not retreat. We shall only return stronger and take on the heretics that dare to call themselves 'sisters' of our true god. They have spilled the blood of animals, showing their evil character, for animals are nice and cuddly and beloved of Sigmar!
