==Recap==
===11th July, Year 1===
They drag the werewolves' bodies to the clearing, Izual throws silver coins around the corpses, and with the help of Nyx tries to keep the soul from leaving the body. Abaddon digs out the werewolves' hearts, puts the hearts on their chest, and draws Malkis symbol in blood. Rae Kwon starts the ritual song and Abaddon tries to eat the heart. He throws up the first heart. Abaddon tries again and eats the heart inspired by Rae Kwon's song. Silver coins around begin to shake. Meanwhile, Kael is diligently keeping notes.
After eating the second heart, the third heart suddenly looks appetizing. He eats it and turns into his wolf form. The party remains cautious. Abaddon turns back into a human. Izual is concerned they've angered the gods and gathers their silver coins. 
Sometime during the ritual, John has run away. Abaddon transforms into a werewolf again. Seeing that, Nyx is extremely disappointed and throws one of her cards into the fire, and it immediately disintegrates. Abaddon runs after the Shepard and resists his urge to eat him. During the run he turns into a human and calls for John. John hesitantly follows Abaddon back to the camp.
Once back, Nyx approaches Abaddon and makes him promise John will be safe. Abaddon says he can control himself now and John will be safe. Rae Kwon gives John some dreamroot, he accepts out of fear.
===12th July===
John wants to go home, Kael convinces him to stay.
They go back to Hearthome. This time, at the entrance bridge, there are guards and by them are standing large figures clad in black. They suspect its ogres. One peasant boy walks past them, and before they almost declare war on the city the boy informs them Junimo the Necromancer has taken over the city. Abaddon turns into his werewolf form. John promises he will stay here and watch the sheep, Kael reminds him they know where he lives.
Abaddon approaches the bridge in his werewolf form. They charge the zombie ogres. In the middle of the fight, Izual's horse runs into the town. The party slays the ogres, Izual and Abaddon are hurt. Rae Kwon convinced the guards to join them with his song.
Astiar appears in the street before them. Abaddon shields his eyes. He tells them that a foul creature has taken over the town and tasks them with bringing order back. Kael immediately accepts the quest and asks for artifacts, and Astain promises Kael access to his notes. Astair puts a hand on Izual's forehead and heals them, then looks at Abaddon with disgust, and disappears.
They walk into town and there are 30 zombies in the town square. Izual charges into the center of the town and casts (I guess?), trampling one zombie along the way. Rae Kwon decapitates the zombie.

The guards point their spears at Abaddon and threaten him. He tells them they are all on the same side, turns back into a human and tells them to get out of the way. They let him pass, not wanting to fight him. Izual attacks the ogres and one slays their horse. Abaddon casts . Nyx puts one of her crystal necklaces in Keal's hand and joins the fight. The ogres are defeated. Abaddon tells Izual to command the men to slay the zombies in the courtyard while they slay the necromancer. 
They throw open the door of the keep and are greeted by a dead woman. She begins to speak, Izual immediately chops her head off. They follow the trail of gore, into the keep. Izual takes their mask off. Rae Kwon sneaks forwards, Abaddon turns into a wolf and follows stealthily. Izual calls 4 of the guards to help them. 
They climb to the top of the tower, Izual walks in first, face to face with a half-orc necromancer in a dark hood. The necromancer immediately offers them a job. Izual pulls their mask over their face and casts . Necromancer is feared and still suggests they join him and rebel against the gods. Rae Kwon sings a song to counter necromancers suggestion if there's any. Necromancer continues the speech about the gods and their manipulation, while Nyx picks her card and casts , moving the gore behind them into the room. Necromancer slips out of the zone.

Izual climbs onto the table for high ground and stabs the necromancer with a spear, but his absorbs it. Abaddon casts , and the combat is over.
Abaddon suggests this is their town now. Rae Kwon argues that is a very boring option and Abaddon drops the idea. Nyx pulls the necromancer towards the bedrolls, slits his throat and, with a grab of his hair, snaps their neck. The necromancer is dead, Nyx whispers: "This one's for Kael."
Hearthome is free, and Astair arrives. Kael pesters him about the notes. Astair gives him notes with dividers, highlighted areas, with notes added on the margins. It contains information about the undead and their nature, notes on werewolves, and a big section on Hearthome. Izual prays to Felumbra. Abaddon waits for everyone to leave and eats the necromancer's heart. Izual asks Felumbra to turn a blind eye to Abaddon. There is a chest in the necromancer's room, it is full of coins, but it also the town's treasury. Abaddon takes a handful of gold and loots the necromancer.
