Calenthang stops dead at the sound of Chastity's voice and studies her with a wary glance.
She would torture this soul longer?
He narrows his eyes at the young paladin defiantly and presses the attack with an almost righteous fervor.

The wight in it's cringing state looks up at Chastity, and possibly for a split second a shred of it's former humanity shines through, but the creature just glares at her and hisses, a foul stench exhuming from it's open mouth. The others, realizing the undead is beyond redemption descend upon it and with blow after blow manage to destroy the creature.
With the present danger gone everyone can take in the extraordinary view of the interior of the hut. Its remarkably homely and clean. It seems the wight that called this place home was responsible for keeping the place well tended, which strikes you as odd. You see the vine's roots have grown into the building, forming a sort of netting around the walls. Apparently all scraps of meat or bone from the wight's victims had been cleaned up and placed lovingly on the roots themselves, almost like decoration. The rest of the room is furnished with a bed, table, four chairs, and a wardrobe in the corner.

With the wight vanquished, Calenthang turns to Chastity with an annoyed expression.
"Young Chastity, I cannot imagine what you hoped to accomplish," he says pleadingly.

As the wight fell to the onslaught of his companion's blows, Ayden entered the small cabin and was looking around it as Calenthang spoke to Chasity.
While he knew the paladin meant well in beseeching it to find what remained of its former life, Ayden also understood his companion's worries in that she hesitated before striking out at the creature.
"She did what any knight would do Calenthang. She gave her enemy one chance at redemption. Please do not fault her for doing what I know I would have done had the halfling still been alive."
Hoping that his words helped some, Ayden turned and began looking for anything in the house that would tell him who the halfling had been before the darkness of undeath claimed his life.

Calenthang looks to the floor as he hears Ayden's words.
"Some beings are beyond redemption," he says in a sad voice. "I don't hold her at fault," he looks to Chastity, "I was just surprised, is all. I am sorry, friend Chastity."
"Do not hate Evil," he mumbles to himself in Sylvan. He trys to smile as he helps the others search the room.

Chastity responds to the others with confusion. "Mercy is an admirable quality. Perhaps it could have been saved. Now we shall never know." She shrugs, and looks around the hut with undisguised curiosity. So this is a new face of evil, she thinks to herself as she cleans her blade and sheathes it.

Ayden finds that it is obvious the halfing used to be some type of gardener from the tools lying around. The tools are eerily placed in an orderly fashion and free of any dust, the last semblance of any humanity left in the halfing wight was keeping his tools in good working order and tending his "pet" vines.

"We are fortunate to escape from that battle unscathed. Wights are made. There are others about, or evil clerics or necromancers. I wonder if this is related to the lizardmen. Anyway, there appears to be nothing else of immediate interest here. Perhaps, Andreas, you could cast one of your magic detection spells to see if you can spot any hidden treasures before we carry on."
