- Let someone with engineering skill suggest that explosives (grenades) underground might be a bad idea.

One of my players brought in IR goggles. I pointed out that it wouldn't help if the catacomb was haunted, since ghosts don't have heat signatures.
The crazy para captain down there did a lot of hit & run from the side tunnels and such, I think I whittled the party down to two wounded PCs before they finally got him.

The Black Madonna has history, specifically that it is believed to have protected the Jasna Gora monastery during an attack by the Swedes in the 1600s.

Yep. Some time after running this, I got to read the novel "The Deluge,"* which includes this siege. I think there's a movie in Polish, but I haven't seen it.
BM and Krakow were two of my favorite modules, in that their basic set up was to present the GM with all of the factions in a region, then hand the PCs an object too valuable for them to use. What do they do, and who do they ally with?
Good luck.
