Job Description: A couple members of a merchant's guild have been kidnapped by what appear to be human corpses, leading the said guild to make a request on the job boards for help. The corpses seem to be controlled by a wizard and were led in the direction of the Cursed Lands, which the guild was traveling near in the hopes of saving time. Find the wizard, defeat him, and rescue his captives.
Enemies:

• Zombies x5
  Precisely what you might expect, a group of corpses brought to life using magic. Each takes a C-Rank hit before falling apart. They can swing their arms at you like a club for 2x C-Rank damage, but prefer to try to bite you. The bite will not turn you, but the festering nature of their jaws will cause a D-Rank's worth of damage every post for 2 posts.
  Enemy Rank: Weak
  
  
• Skeletal Warrior x2
  Having fallen in battle long ago, the flesh of these soldiers has long since rotted away, leaving only bones to fight for their twisted master. They may wield a spear, club, axe, or broadsword, all of which will do B-Rank damage per hit. They take 2x B-Rank hits each to defeat.
  Enemy Rank: Normal
  
  
• Abomination x1
  A hulking monster that is twice as tall as an average human, pieced together from a great many dead bodies, this affront to both nature and the eyes can deal B-Rank damage with each swing of its grotesque limbs and can charge at its opponents with a burst of surprising speed to do 2x B-Rank damage from the momentum and savagery. It takes 4x B-Rank hits to defeat, but it generally moves slowly when recovering from charging enemies.
  Enemy Rank: Strong
  
  
• Necromancer
  A powerful Necromancer, this cruel wizard kidnapped the members of the merchant guild that requested your aid simply to lure out capable fighters for his experiments. The creatures you faced up to this point were mere tests to establish whether you had a great deal of power at your disposal, choosing the cursed lands for their high quantity of tainted corpses. He can unleash attacks comprised of pure death energy at his targets, dealing 3x B-Rank damage each and causing lasting damage that drains 5% HP until the end of the thread. He also loves to shield himself with walls of bones that shield him 2x B-Rank hits and can't be pierced. Should his regular magic fail to subdue his opponent, he can call for the help of the undead previously fought. Since he also tends to use the undead as meat shields to minimize damage to himself, he takes 8x B-Rank hits to defeat. Upon being beaten, whether the victor opted to kill him or not, the Necromancer will begin to rapidly disintegrate into black particles that will fade away soon after.
  Enemy Rank: Boss
  

Reward: 40,000 jewel.
