"I'm looking for a reason why the bodies of men would refuse to die. Not just the usual necro spells to raise them once, but what might cause them, no matter how much damage they take, to simply keep moving. I don't know if it's the right term, but I keep coming back to distinguishing it as not undead, but undying."
The goblin sighes a little, taking a stool near the door and relaxing.
"Now, Mr...whatever your name is. The specifics of death and undeath are very complicated and can be strange to people like yourself. Now I know that what you saw was probably quite strange, something that you are not used to, but let me be the one to tell you, undeath is a thing that we all have to live with."
"You say these people were not undead, but if they were not alive, then what were they? The medium between life and death is undeath, there are no grey lines that allow partial life and death situations. Unless you have more for me to go by, I'd be inclined to tell you to go back and you'd find evidence of necromancy somewhere."
