SO while the party kill off the dwarves and their cultist leaders which is a good idea chunks of the forest are being warped by the evil taint, they stopped the artifact in time to stop the taint reaching their village, I set a time period and counted the days of travel, they didn't waste anytime so arrived easily in time to prevent it. They were so fast that only half of the savage lizardmen that live in the swamp upriver got affected, so thats a relief!!</blockquote>
