Strange green mist began to rise from the ruins of Witherleaf to intermingle with the smoke rising from a dozen Varisian wagons. Burned, injured Varisians stumbled from the wreckage toward the party weeping and reaching for aid. Ghostly forms coalesced in the fog and screamed in eerie wails, causing Dario and Tiberius to bolt in terror. A veil dropped from the injured Varisians revealing staggering zombies! The team tore into the rotting meat sacks in a flurry. Sigbiorn, Berwyn, and Thrain began dropping zombies right and left. Gertie cast chain lightning and destroyed eight in one blast!
Dario recovered his senses and ran back to the battlefield. A trio of hags were spotted atop a barrow casting deadly spells! They dropped numerous fire storms on the team while they tangled with the zombies. Gertie rushed forward and got caught in a forcecage! She tried several clever tactics to escape but was unable. She was able to still use her evil eye hex to harass the hags! Dario made efficient use of holy smites while Thrain made things harder for the hags with a summoned earth elemental. The team climbed the barrow and engaged more closely. Soon, Dario killed the witchfires, and the team forced the night hag to flee into another plane!
