The exploration never ceased for a moment, and when Lind heard about the Druids again, he received news of her death, which caused a huge emotional turmoil in Lind, because the Undead had actually found a way to "farm points" thanks to the Druids.
The Undead had devised a deceitful tactic where they use themselves as bait, luring each of the fully mutated Old Nobility, now estranged from their human form, to dive into the mouth of the Marchioness as if diving for freedom.
The true potential of the undead's characteristic was indeed being exploited to the extreme, and although Lind would not default on a debt for such a minor expenditure, every Old Nobility enemy the Undead sacrificed themselves to kill, could potentially cost a Rand Legion Soldier his life if encountered, and each soldier's life was worth far more than these rewards.
For this Lind had to pay a significant amount of Military Merits, and similar scenarios kept unfolding without end.
