"I'm not gonna tell an artist how to paint!"

The group discusses their options in the common room of the guest house. A zombie raven arrives with a message from the high cleric of Noir here in Evonmar. He offers his assistance and gifts the group with the messenger bird. They decide to send word to Gourd to send Patrina to confront the Duke, Wurm even uses the raven to send the eyes of the dead servant to Patrina so she has them when she arrives.

The Duke's family graveyard bursts with movement as the dead rise from the graves. The zombies take a protective stance in front of the guest house. The Dukes troops mount outside as Patrina arrives. She holds the eyes of the servant and explains her diabolical murder. She throws the eyes at the Duke which hit him on his breast plate. Then the large tentacle creature inside of Patrina comes out. 

The Duke clears the group of any wrong doing and are free to go. The creature burrows into the ground, (maybe we can adventure with him again someday...).

Logan, the high cleric of Noir, tasks Wurm with the delivery of a very important sarcophagi, treasure, & 100 skeletal soldiers to the new cathedral building side.

They travel to the site and find the circling elk all dead and now just bones, fused together into a large circular fence. They witness older animals come from afar to the fence to die there. And their corpses get fused to the wall as well. The master Mason meets them and shows them all of the progress. The 100 skeleton soldiers fuse with the fence as well, but look more like equally spaced guardians around the compound. The only portion of the church completed so far is of the time delay chamber. This is where the sarcophagus is to be buried. 

MoPuck gets to work on building custom book shelves inside the chamber as the rest work on digging the hole and getting the sarcophagus into place. Wurm's friendly clerics arrive on Dragonback with sacks of Noir bibles to fill the shelves. The group asks for a ride back to Diamond bed city as they are going to help Abe get to Mikas to further his quest. 

When they arrive in Diamond bed, they are greeted by the town guard upon leaving the grounds of the church of Noir. Rasa has a warrant for arrest and is taken into custody. The group goes through all of the red tape and finally gets to see him in his cell. Rasa tears a piece of his robe and ties it to his small window grate (so the group can find it from outside).

The group is told to seek legal council. Mopuck's mentor call's him home and informs him that his birthday is coming and to prepare for a celebration!
