Act I: Inauspicious Start

"You know what, I think Weiryn is right. I should probably head back with Weiryn and Ujjaya. Darren will probably be of more use to you if you encounter undeads, especially since I'm still sick from this first encounter. Oh, word of warning in case you do not already know Veroth, but those zombies carry diseases, so be careful if you have to engage them in melee... I will assume you already know about their unnatural resistances..."

You will make your way back to the town square without any incident.

As you arrive, Kuroi waves at you and then approaches. "Well friends, I have some bit of good news. Remember that undead which acted differently than those other zombies? Well, while clearing the corpses, I found these on his remains." He than hands you four gems, two scrolls, and two long thin and ornately decorated pieces of wood that Weiryn easily recognizes as wands.

"It would seems that at least a small minority of these abominations carry some treasure on them. Perhaps we should be a bit more thorough when clearing corpses. Oh, I evaluated this one at 550 gold pieces, and this one at 82 gold pieces. I could not figure the values of the other two..."

As Weiryn enters the tavern withe the woman, the barkeep looks up with surprise and relief clearly etched on his face. "What? Mad Mary is alive? Well, I'll take any bit of ged news..." He then looks behind you, expecting more people to enter... "Where... where is her daughter?"

@ Weiryn:
Scroll of Bless
Scroll of Detect Undead
Wand of Cure Light Wounds
Wand of Prestidigitation

@ Veroth: Veroth will scout ahead, keeping to the shadows and side-alleys. He remembers this mansion being attacked from time to time, but the woman inside seems more than capable of defending herself. Not that a few discreet arrows from Veroth did not help her as well... He finally deems the way to be clear when he finally reach an aged and dilapidated mansion squats behind a rusting iron fence. However, the gates have been twisted open—one lies torn from its hinges, while the other swings crazily in the wind, screeching and clanging with mindless repetition. The house beyond is marked by claws, fires, and ominous stains. Every windows is boarded, every door barricaded. for the time being, there are no undead in sight, as much as the fog-filled streets allows him to see...

Roland and Darren can roll me an intelligence check at that point, unless the players have figured it out already on their own... ;P

Roland will remember that Ismark back at the town square mentioned his sister Ireena keeping vigil over their father's body at their mansion further south. You have a feeling that you are now in front said mansion and that you are about to meet this Ireena...
