"Looks like you could use some help" I drew my long sword and ran towards the enemy before stabbing my sword towards its head

The decomposing elf groaned as the bard's sword slashed across its neck. It turned towards the bard, and swung its arm, hitting but doing no noticeable damage.[rand=52841294081911761538676057147376854229772240281659073462379215985]

"Thanks," I gasped. "But it's too bad you didn't kill it!" I slashed at it's stomach.

The elf collapsed to the ground after having his guts released from his stomach by the raptoran. He glared up with raging eyes, and was about to say something before his jaw detached from his skull. The elf-zombie-thing was no more.
Shortly after it was vanquished, the town guard (consisting of volunteers dressed in horrible armor) burst through the front door, wielding clubs and daggers. The most official-looking guard walked up to the pair, and bowed.
"Our thanks," he said. The human gripped a longsword in one hand, a shield in the other, and wore light chain mail. A dark beard covered most of his face. "We thought we've sufficiently prevented these..." he poked the rapidly decomposing body with his boot, "things from coming into town, but apparently we haven't." He looked back up at the two. "You do know of the contagion, right?"

"No," I said disgustedly. "You should warn people about these things. If anyone else had tried to talk to it, you would probably have a dead civilian." I clearly didn't approve of the pitiful guard.

"If I did know anything I don't remember right now." Mostly ignoring the guard he bent down and start searching the corpse, it might have something useful on it. I found a dagger and a few gold pieces. Standing up I examined the dagger and handed it to the girl, I kept the gold for myself.

I accepted it with a nod of thanks. Zombie daggers were daggers, no matter how disgusting the undead. Sliding the dagger into my pack, I also folded my wings, which were ruffled, making it clear I had been frightened.

"They are warned about these things, miss," grunted the official-looking guard, "Did you not see them fleeing? This disease started spreading in the forest a good month ago, and the elf folk started exiling those that caught it... They killed anything else that got it. Animals, livestock, plants--the corpses burned at night, like some crazy cultist funeral fire." He waved his hands around as he spoke, indicating the strangeness of the situation.
"We keep telling them to burn the place to the ground," he continued, "but, nooo, upset the balance of life and crap. Damn elves. If we don't do something, everybody's going to end up like that." The guard jerked his head towards the corpse. "It's contagious! If it touches you, you're undead, just like that. We're pretty sure, at least."
After a moment, he said, "You two look like adventuring folk. You up for a job?"

I stretched then looked up to him before speaking," Sounds fine to me...something important first....what's the pay?"

I laughed. "What kind of job, is what I'm wondering." After all, I can just steal money, I added silently.

"We need to stop the disease," the guard replied, frowning underneath his large beard, "The best way, I think, would be to burn the forest down, but the elves don't want that; they think they can cure it. Psh. Bunch of bull, if you ask me." He sighed, and poked the corpse again with his boot. "We don't have much in the way of gold, but the pointy-eared folk have some nice things... I'm sure we could work something out with their materials and our smiths."
"So!" He looked up from the corpse. "What d'you say? Stop this and we'll make you some nice things?"

"Sounds good enough to me, say how fast do you think the disease spreads after you touch someone?" I looked at him, an evil glimmer in my eye.

I snorted. "I'm up for it," I answered. "When should we leave?"
