However after all relics found it seemed a bit easy to complete so we were thinking of making father Joseph pass a success check on a d6 roll of a 4+ to finish the ritual to add more of a rush at the end. We were discussing how awesome it would be to have a swarm of zombies closing in on you and father Joseph obliterating the zombies with the book and holy flame as people prayed the ritual could be finished in time. Although we have only played this scenario once and thought this may not work out as easy next time. Anyone here seasoned enough to say if this is a good or bad idea as a house rule? Your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Our group really enjoys this scenario as well. I think your suggestion sounds decent. More than saying it's good or bad, I'll say it is needed. We've has some great games with this scenario, but like any search scenario, it can end too quickly with a little luck. I've tried giving some thoughts as to how to fix this as well. If the first two tiles flipped are the relics, then perhaps requiring additional discoveries? Or do you just make it so you have to find more to begin with? Hide the cross as well? Your idea is another way to go. Maybe there could also be stipulation that the ritual cannot be completed if Holy Fire has been used within the last turn or two (the magic needs time to recharge), thus ensuring that Humans are in all out defense mode of Joseph as he tries to complete it and pass his dice check? Ah well, minor flaws aside, I think this is one of their best scenarios, and even better that it is free.
