Northern Shadowdale - Evacuation

As Shadowdale is still coping with measures put in place for its reoccupation, and ensuring its outlying population was safe while its leadership worked on re-consolidating its forces. Deputy-Mayor Lovich had tasked Dacius with the evacuation of all homesteads north of the river in Shadowdale.

Once ensuring everyone who currently resides north of the river complied, or was at least aware of the request. He would return to Lady Lovich and give her a report and prepare to make further visits to the homes to ensure people are indeed moving.

While going from farm to farm he comes upon two farms were everything (farmers and animals) are dead except for a few loose chickens. While he has found a few dead bodies from the "infection" this seems strange.

Most of the farmers are afraid to head into town with the stories of plague and walking dead going around.

*Jonah takes a walk through the North Fields, at Sir Reinhart's request.  He stoops to examine the occasional body, and examine it as best he's able.

Spoiler:

As for additional farmers, Jonah tries to assure them that Shadowdale Central is safe, and that they are welcome at the Hospital, where they can find warm food, a fresh bed, and the company of their fellows.*

Sister Laura is sent on word by Dacius to investigate. She is brought to the "odd" corpses by Brother Jonah, who sits patiently as she examines the bodies.

She looks over each one, careful not to touch them or make skin contact as she tries to find the answer to the anomalies.

The bodies at the two farms seemed to have had seizures before death. There is also evidence of foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the eyes. It seems they died roughly around the same time if not with in about an hour. Five men, three women, and seven children died as well as some cattle and sheep.
