Fighting the Undead

Our group of brave warriors (and one elderly woman) successfully managed to free the village, its inhabitants, the smith, and everyone else in the surrounding forests from the undead plague initiated by the witch and her son.

As the bedraggled group arrives back in the village early in the morning the brave dwarf Torkam (Son of Darkon) invites them into his humble (temporary) abode (the town hall) and heals their wounds and soothes their souls. Due to his close connection with the mighty god Moradin (all praise to Moradin!), he immediately feels the dark and evil incarnation of death in some of his fellow group members. Luckily (all praise to Moradin!) he can channel Moradin's divine power and remove the dirty stain of death from those who were inflicted with it (of course, the Demon showed no signs of influence by the deathly sins; surprise? I think not!!).

After Torkam (Son of Darkon) got rid of the last signs of death (the old lady was particularly inflicted) he insists to check out Ground Zero of the deathly plague, to make sure none of it will ever rise again. Upon returning to the hut the group finds the following:
- herbs, medicine, poison (6 times, 1D3 damage per round for one minute, CON save: DC12)
- a book illustrating local herbs and plants (30GP)
- a book about mummification (45GP)
- a book set about her evil God (100GP)
- oil painting of her son (25GP).

Upon feeling the evil in the house, Torkam (Son of Darkon) suggest to immediately burn down the house and all its contents (especially the (un)dead bodies). After removing anything remotely valuable the feisty wizard happily starts throwing fireballs into the house, until there is nothing left but scorched earth.

The group returns back to the village in the evening and is offered 50GP per person by the grateful mayor for all the work they have done and the dangers they have endured. Tired but happy (except for the wizard who is cranky most of the time, the old lady who keeps babbling about weird stuff, the ranger who is just generally unhappy, and the demon who is a demon and therefore rarely happy by definition) they settle down for another long rest.
