The Heroes investigate the Purple District, when they see panicked people running away from a house, screaming "the dead are walking!" They investigate, and they find a mob of undead creatures ganging up on a woman. The Heroes protect her, while she completes a ritual to destroy the undead.
After defeating the creatures, the woman introduces herself as Raging Wind, the mistress of the local Sword School. She is a skilled Taoist, and successfully exorcises Tang. In the house, the Heroes also recover a shard of the Eye of the Naga. Seeing they are destined to something more, Raging Wind tells them that something weird is going on in the nearby swamp, where an ancient temple used to be.
The Heroes travel to the temple, where they meet more acolytes of the Leaning Pillar, and a fearsome guardian: an Ogre! The beast is a difficult opponent, but eventually the Heroes prevail. In his lair, they recover a letter mentioning a plot to assault the Prince of Zao, soon to be visiting the town of Leaping Frog.
