Strange time, Strange place, Strangers still

It was finally time to actually do some adventuring. Kalmia put out a call for assistance in actually doing some adventuring work and two people showed their faces to assist. And the universe was ready for them to get out there as the adventure came to them! A strange ratfolk requested their assistance in clearing out some of the roaming undead left masterless after the recent war, to which the party eagerly accepted. After making sure to find out anything and everything they could about what to be prepared for with undead, and a small tavern fire quickly quashed by the city guard that no one could quite pin down on them, they headed off for adventure. The information they'd gathered about the swamps rang true, as simply wandering off the path they quickly stumbled into some of the undead they'd been tasked to slay, strange animate sludge made of human remains. A pitched battle ensued, and with the help of Kalmia's horse eventually they proved victorious! But there wasn't much time for celebration. All the noise they'd made had attracted other foes. And soon a nearby tree erupted with animate floating heads set out on finishing what the sludge had started! Thankfully for the group they found these foes less threatening, even attempting to capture one for curiosity's sake!
