Long Summary
Ted and Tenzin decided go to Nadilla on foot, while Zeed flew above them. After a day of traveling, the sun was about to set as Zeed spotted a farm and a cornfield a head of them on the side of the road. Once Zeed informs the others, everyone made a mad dash for the corn, since it was along day and they were both hungry and tired. As they headed towards the corn field, three people, who seemed like farmers, exit the corn field, carrying farm tools. the close they get the stranger the three people seemed. Zeed with his better maneuverability arrived first, he saw that the people stumbling around, drooling and looked really pale. Once Ted and Tenzin caught up, Zeed tried to converse with one of the three farmers, but they immediately attacked. During the battle, Zeed deduced that the farmer's were undead, and the party dispatched the Zombies. After the battle, Ted grabbed a cob of corn and bit into it, but the cob didn't have any corn and was filled with cobwebs and bugs. Zeed noticed the cob Ted had, and checked the soil and summarized that the land was corrupted by something. Tenzin, chopped up the zombies in to pieces and buried them on near the cornfield, like some kind of psychopath. The Party noticing that the sun had set, decide to go to the farm to see if they would let the owners would let them sleep the night there, ignoring the fact that they had just fought zombies.

The only path they could see toward the farm was through the massive cornfield, so they proceeded into the field. As they moved through, the branching paths nearly got them turned around, but thanks to Ted's jumping up to check the direction, they were back on the right path. As they got closer to the farm house and barn, the three started hearing heavy breathing and movement around them. Zeed flew over the cornfield to see if he could spot what it was. As he clear the top of the cornstalks he spots a massive bull stomping around in a more open area in the cornfield. its glowing eyes trained on Zeed, it fired an orb of energy at zeed knocking him out of the sky and into the bull's territory. Seeing Zeed get knocked out of the sky, Tenzin and Ted dash towards where he fell, and joined him in combat. After the battle was short and ended when Tenzin punched the bull's head in half.

As the bull's body fell, it knocked over a few stalks revealing the farm house and barn on the other side. The trio headed towards the house, which seemed empty, because it was after sunset now and there was no light in the house. Tenzin decides to knock the door down, without checking to see if it was locked, but the door didn't give in, until Ted sandwiched Tenzin between the door and his foot.

The inside was brightly lit by a fireplace, despite the light not being seen from the outside. The old lady inside was surprised to see the three break down the door, but ignored the door and invited them in for some cookies. since the party were a bunch of morons, They sat down at the dinning table, they looked around the room, and noticed that the view shown through the windows, showed daytime, even though it was night at this point, the trio ignored this as well as if they are under a spell or they are simpleton. As the old lady was preparing drinks, she mentions that her lord Lathander, would want me to ignore a bunch of hungry adventurers, hearing this Ted jumped out of his seat. excited to meet a fellow follower. The old lady confirms her belief and pointed at an object on the wall saying that it was Lathander's symbol. When Ted examined the object it turned out to be a rusty pan, feeling insulted Ted picked up the pan and threw it at the old lady, as it hit her, the room slowly starts to get darker, and her body fall apart, revealing her through ghastly form. The Specter angry that the trio rejected her kindness, attack them.

Tenzin ran out of the house, Zeed knocked the table over and hid behind it, Ted prepared to attack.
