As the council members finished the process of bringing the bodies up, Drex explained what he had seen in the symbols on the altar, and Morthos asked if they were related at all to the symbols in the goblin book that Drex had taken from the cultists they had met on the road a couple of days earlier. Pulling out the book, Drex realised that there were similarities in places. As someone who knew the goblin language, Mogadon asked to have a look at the book, and quickly determined that the book essentially had one message - "Make sacrifices to a power called Gartlemak to prevent the Demonplague".

Bjalien, having heard all this talk about a plague, decided that this was not something that should become common knowledge - otherwise there would be panic and chaos. Deciding to move the bodies and the prisoner Bazil to the church, Bjalien also declared that this would be a closed trial - and that only those present now would be witness.

Once in the church, Isperil cast a spell to speak with dead, asking Colinus Birthwitch's dead nephew several questions which confirmed their suspicions - "Bazil had killed the three of them because he believed it would prevent the return of a plague."

Colinus, in a surprising move took the role of town executioner and decided that the normal punishment for murder - a hanging - would be too public and would give Bazil the opportunity to spread panic by raving in public about the plague - so slit the prisoner's throat - gaining a harsh look from most present. Bjalien reluctantly agreed that it was probably for the best. Morthos, in an uncharacteristic move, donated 3gp to Isperil towards the "cleansing of the church", given the summary judgement that had just been messily passed.

Mogadon demanded that Colinus fetch his dog and that they return to the potion shop so that they could try to pick up the trail of the sorcerer
