* There is a 1 in 100 chance that a questing knight will return from questing with one of the following texts:
	+ 'You are visited by a hedge knight, he says he has returned from his quest for you, he rode west hearing rumours of demonic influence and discovered that the Gibbering Monk in the west is in fact a demonic agent, he is almost certain'
	+ 'You are visited by a hedge knight, he says he has returned from his quest for you, he rode west hearing rumours of demonic influence and discovered that the gibbering monk in the west is a demonic agent, when confronted the monk attacked him, and so he killed the monk' (The Gibbering Monk in the west is now dead)
* If you ask your council for ways to stop the demons your spymaster has a 1 in 5 chance of saying 'There are rumours of Demonic Influence in the West... The less influence they have the weaker the Demon gate becomes' however if the Gibbering Monk is already dead he will says 'You have found the Demon Agents, the horde is weaker'
