Anyway, I killed her but I could not for the life of me kill the two dread zombies there. They ended up chasing me out of the cave and up and down the road with a local farmer helping me out.
In a fit of desperation, I remembered a guard and some rough looking types in the Roxey Inn and led the two zombies there. There was a guard and maybe three or four heavily armed npcs that went wailing on those two zombies. After the zombies were killed, they very casually talked about mud crabs.
I love this game.
