Dareios is too weak (str -10) to cut off the heads and remove the hearts in one blow. He must saw the bodies for a very long time and use his full weight to press on his blade.

Skorl yanks free his blade in a spray of gore, and stands surveying the chamber. Seeing no enemies remaining, he quickly cleans his blade and sheaths it acrossed his back. Then he turns his attentions to the bodies scattered about, searching them for any items of value or use.
 

Frowning slightly at her companions' treatment of their fallen companions and foes, Alessandra goes to each in turn and intones a prayer for each - including their foes - that Pelor grant them peace in the afterlife.
 

Willow and the rest of the party search the church for useful items.

Besides the equipment that the slain Nikolai and Ricven brought with them, the party finds the following:

1. Danovich's stained journal
2. a gold chalice worth 700gp
3. two silver bells each worth 50gp
4. three potions of cure moderate wounds
5. old vestments, paraments, and consecrated vessels that have outlived their usefulness but not been thrown away.
6. Ashes of the burned Libris Blaspheme
7. Alchemical equipment (worth 2000 gp)
8. 2 suits of +1 full plate armor
9. +2 Greatsword
10. two scrolls of Cure Light Wounds
11. Scroll of Lesser Restoration
12. +1 Heavy Steel Shield
13. +1 Longsword
14. Masterwork Morningstar
15. Scroll of Cure Moderate Wounds
 

Skorl spends a few minutes crouched over the corpse of Ricven Spellhand. "Rest well, friend Ric," he whispers. When he arises, he pulls on the gauntlets that his companion had been wearing. The half-orc was determined to put them to good use, and honor his companion's memory by using them to destroy all of the foul undead in the village.

After looking over the haul of valuable loot they had discovered within the church, Skorl is most interested in the newly discovered greatsword. The weapon appears to be sharper and better balanced then the mildly enchanted blade the the warrior is already using.
 

Willow takes the scrolls and hands them to Alessandra when she is finished praying. "I think we may the only one's left that can read these, but you are probably better suited than I."

She will also take a potion of cure moderate wounds for herself, if nobody has any objections, along with Danovich's journal. Perhaps it will shed some insight as to what in the world is going on here. If either Nikolai or Ricven have a dagger among their gear, she should like to have that as well, again barring no objections.

As she hands off the scrolls and stowes the potion and journal in her haversack, she begins to break down at the thought of her fallen friends.

"For Pelor's sake, Skorl, help me with the corpses!"

- So shouts Dareios, while kneeing over Nikolai's decapitated body.

"If we don't remove hearts and heads, we might have to fight them - our own friends!"

When he's finished with this bloody work, which he will try to finish even should noone help him, he'll pick up the few things that he finds of use, then take Dammerung, and stagger out of the temple to catch a bit of fresh air.

Dareios will also cut off Strider's head and heart, sobbing...
 

Alessandra will take the scrolls gratefully. "Thank you, my friend," she says solemnly. She looks over the still-living members of the party, and offers to heal those that are the most injured, Dareios and Cedric, although unfortunately she can do nothing about Dareios’ loss of strength until she rests and prays again for spells.
 

Skorl Darksull, HP 51/56

"So where we go now?" Skorl scratches his head, and looks around the chapel. "We stay night here, or go back to Inn? Or go check on girl?"
