OOC:
The mercy does not protect against re-infection, sadly.
[ +- ] Mercy Rules
It works as Remove Disease:
Mercy, Diseased: The paladin's lay on hands ability also acts as remove disease, using the paladin's level as the caster level.
Remove Disease:
Remove disease can cure all diseases from which the subject is suffering. You must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against the DC of each disease affecting the target. Success means that the disease is cured. The spell also kills some hazards and parasites, including green slime and others.
Since the spell's duration is instantaneous, it does not prevent reinfection after a new exposure to the same disease at a later date.

Holy fire permates the area around Durgrim, burning the undead menace.
OOC:
5ft step, then channel energy in a 30 ft radius around Durgrim. This should reach all the I can see. I'll probably step back to hold the line next round, depending on what happens.
