"This foreign force…they are necromancers. I am not sure where they came from…but at least from the rumors I have heard…the first village they approached did not comply. They stabbed the village leader in the chest and waited until he died…" he hesitates for a moment, "…and then raised him back up."

"Raised him back up?" Anne asks confused.

The chieftain nods, "Yes…he was under their command and they ordered him to fight the other villagers. He attacked them wildly…his family members tried to intervene, but it only resulted in making it worse…he slaughtered them."

Arlo frowns, "He slaughtered them?"

The chieftain nods, "Afterwards the necromancers removed the magic from the village leader. He fell to the ground saw what he had done…and killed himself."

The chieftain sighs, "Afterwards, they threatened to do the same to the other villagers and everyone in the village quickly surrendered."
