In Cresthaven, Mayor Basil calls a meeting around a large dining hall table. The High Priest Joris, Sheriff Ulrich, Little Jimmy, Ron, and the Party are in attendance.

Leo explains about the zombies they found. Little Jimmy explains in more detail what happened to Ashwald, how dead people who were bitten rose as new zombie the next day.

At noon the party arrive at Ashwald and find many buildings destroyed with a crude wall built around it. Outside the walls are many corpses. As the boat pulls up the walls the church bells ring. The party gets off the boat and people stand on the walls, looking tired, weary and haggard, their faces dirty and muddy. Tenevar's Mayor, Lophis, greets Evelyn, knowing her already, and asks about the messengers they send, but none made it to Cresthaven. The Mayor lets the party inside.
Wooden buildings inside the village have been pulled apart, likely to make the walls. The population ans dropped from 130 to around 55. The party try to figure out an evacuation of Ashwald to Cresthaven, but they don't have enough boats so they would have to travel by land. a 8-hour walk. T he Ashwalk evacuation will happen tomorrow morning. Leslie and Ron will row back to Cresthaven the check in meanwhile.
The first 6 hours of the 15 hours rowing for Leslie and Ron go uneventfully. Then they spot a campfire on the west bank of the river. They row closer to join them. At the campfire is a man in long red robes holding a glass container and tosses in their rowboat boat. Leslie jumps out of the boat and swims to the east bank and Ron rows the boat over to the east bank. The man in red robes draws a bow and fire a fire arrow at the boat, setting Ron and the boat on fire. Ron collapses into the river.
On the west bank Leslie hears the noise of zombies nearby. Leslie jumps into the river to save Ron. Now in the river, Leslie sees Zombies on both banks of the river. Leslie reaches the boat and finds Ron's charred body. Leslie swims south back to Tenevar for the next 90 minutes.
Back at Tenevar, Evelyn and Leo take names before the night, as at Night is when the zombies come. After getting up the village feasts as they had recently gathered their harvest. 2 hours later the church bells ring, the lookout exclaims there are zombies coming out of the water.
