The Devil's Trap
A priest on a covert mission visits a little community one day. He is an Inquisition agent assigned to examine the actions of a local miller. The miller and his son are descendants of an ancient family whose ancestral home burned down a century ago and was subsequently rebuilt. A great deal of the miller's expertise about the soil, water, and structural integrity of a structure was passed down via generations of his family. The Inquisition is aware of his reputation for locating water and forecasting when a structure will collapse; he must be in collaboration with the devil.
