Go Back to Start

You mill around by the still hot crater where the Temple once stood.
Dozens of Clerics of St Cuthbert have arrived and seem very upset. They ‘thank’ you for your help but the unspoken thought is that your group were somehow responsible for the destruction of the temple.
A few clusters of undead wander in occasionally, but although aggressive, they are mindless and directionless and the lower Clerics either destroy them or drive them away.
Eventually Eolar is summoned before one of the senior clerics and they rest of the group tag along.

“I just wanted to thank you for your assistance. As you now know, the temple of St Cuthbert was built upon an existing temple dedicated to Chaos and Evil. Our temple was built to prevent that chaos from spreading.
As you see though, we now have the situation under control. You are free to leave. One thing however, The Necromancer exploited the evil energy here to create legions of undead. Just wretched zombies and skeletons mostly, but enough to be a nuisance. Considering that they will wander around until destroyed, we feel it is our responsibility to seek them out and put an end to them. If you encounter any of these creatures on your return to Seawell, we will award you ten gold coins per undead you destroy.”
Bodush steps forward, “What proof will you require?”
The Cleric looks at Bodush as if seeing him for the first time.
“Proof? Eolar is a cleric of St Cuthbert and as such would never lie. The only proof we require from him is his spoken word!”

As the group moves away, Mendez turns and addresses the whole group. “My friends, I feel that my skills were not equal to protecting you. As you are heading back towards, for me at least, an unwelcoming Seawell, I will seek out a group of Barbarians spotted camping a few days ride from here. Perhaps they will help me toughen up. I’m sure our paths will cross again.”
With that, Mendez hugs Eolar and Bodush, takes his share of the treasure and leaves.

Hot food is available and you are each given 10 trail rations for the journey.
Some of the Clerics may trade for any equipment needed.
