The party moves at a relatively rapid pace toward the center of town, where the Hog's Back is located. Keros explains what he knows of their situation along the way. "They appeared maybe two nights ago, just as I was reaching the town. We can't be certain how many of them, mainly because we destroy them, and more get animated in their places. Our best guess is that there's at least four clerics animating them, but we've no idea where they're hiding out. Thankfully, only a few townspeople have fallen."
As you reach the Hog's Back, you notice several clerics stationed around the place, ready to turn the undead, and quite a few of the town guard, armed and ready to take on whatever may come their way. After two days of fighting, though, they all seem rather haggard. "New zombies are only popping up at night so far, but someone has to keep the day watch as well."
You enter the Hog's Back Inn. Contrary to its former appearance as a boisterous place, the people inside are rather subdued. Perhaps a third of them are sharpening swords and polishing armor; the rest, mostly women, are tending to injured, and feeding the masses.
You get the feeling that perhaps twenty percent of the town's population is here.
A very burly man stands behind the bar, directing traffic in and out of the kitchens.
