Notes:

Your first goal is to obtain 7 scraps from mobs in the Temple of Bertox, they are fairly common and I've seen them drop both humans and golems. Once you have them all return them to Apothecary Cadmael. He will put them together and give you a Completed Cultist Cipher and Reconstructed Cultist Manual. These items can be read like any book. The Cipher reads "Only through the proper application of CONTAGION can we spread the terrible glory of the Lord of Disease". There are 3 possible manuals. The manual you get is random, and encrypted :

1) "Ool tn avvbnm oeimph jcgu tcxwgf
vvrle ribqu Hux buwb bh rvlegas
fjoye ovmb gjs cttn nce vvr kezcfa
qt gae Rwfq qt Cxszqzrpqr"

or

2) "Ys shur wie dcqbey ewgj hux brquuv
kr poxavvr hux Doasnus Yhrj ewgj
chk frmgu Czy aaot Prthbqxatchu
hux Utkzrcb Bge"

or

3) "Dsemodfiyqif ulkagru if pizp
qbtfhitowb Jg qnel axca vvr
Wiymofg Zbkd zw grpr n aexizq
qt qbvovs cgggblkvqr"

Now, these look like gobbledy gook at first blush. They are encrypted in what's called a Vigen�re cipher. I won't go into the actual decryption process, you can read up on the google link if you choose, but the results are:

1) "May an unholy blight wash across these lands The boon of disease shall open the path for the return of the Lord of Pestilence"
2) "We foul our bodies with the blight we worship the Disease Lord with our flesh All hail Bertoxxulous the Unclean One"
3) "Bertoxxulous blesses us with corruption We call upon the Disease Lord to send a herald of divine pestilence"

You need to head back into the Temple and clear out the room due north of the zone in, where the priests hang out. In here you need to say the decrypted phrase (if it doesn't work without the quotes, you can try adding them, especially if used in a hotkey) while standing in the center of the symbol on the floor at the base of the ramp. A named, Vaxztn the Purifier, will spawn which you need to kill. It is undead and casts a knockback. When dead the task updates, just return to the Apothecary. If triggering for multiple people there is a 2 minute or so "cool down" before the next person can trigger the spawn.
