As Ufeza and Zephyra are about to leave, Dadric stands from her chair "I need to see my daughter for myself" and with a vacant look in her eyes starts walking towards Kelemvor's temple. She walks slowly, but doesn't even stop to close the door as she leaves her home.
In the alleyay, Bonewits stumbles when Luther loosens his grip "the Gulthias tree can wait, this city is in danger from the undead. There is a green pouch tied to my belt, it contains sacred seeds that would prevent the dead from rising if planted over a grave." He coughs a couple times and continues "a dark tree already grows in the graveyards behind Lathander's temple, you must plant the seeds there before we are overrun."
By the tone of his voice, the druid is not trying to hide information. He looks exhausted and would likely fall should Luther let him go completely without support.
Zephyra, turning to Dadric following them out. "She's not how you remember her. She looks to have risen again. I want you to be prepared." She says after the woman heading for the Temple. Then moves to close the door and stops herself, slipping inside to take a more thorough look of the child's room before closing the door to the house and joining the others. (if I may do that retroactively DM?)
...
Back at Bonewits, she steps forward, helping to support the man and peers at his belt. Reaching to gather the pouch. "Are there more you need to see to, or should we take the whole pouch?"
Zephyra unfastens the pouch from the Druid’s belt carefully, opening it and inspecting the seeds, trying to determine what sort of seeds they are and anything in her memory triggers at seeing them or hearing what they do.
Zephyra finds nothing out of place at Dadric's house before joining the others. The woman silently nods and keeps walking towards the temple.
Bonewits watches as Zephyra takes his pouch "take them all, I pray there will be enough for all the graves." The seeds are about a quarter inch long, gray and green in color. None of you recognizes the particular plant that produces them.
Turning his head to Ufeza he weakly adds "I would be a burden to you more than anything else, this corruption in my face is too close to my brain to let me concentrate in anything else." A faint smile appears in his face at Blossom's words "you just need to bury one seed in the dirt over each grave, their enchatment will do the rest."
"Ok, let us get you to the temple so that they can try at least." Zephyra looks to the others for help with this. "Then moves to the affected grave first and then to each of the others methodically planting and watching to see what happens."
Luther stands solid as he considers Zephyra's plan. After a moment he nods confidently: "Yes that sounds good. Nice and methodical, like a good drill"
Trying to catch Zephyra to the side so as not to be heard by Daric, he asks her "Do we really need to escort her? We saw no danger on the way here and our mission could be time critical"
Zephyra nods "There might be more zombies, and I doubt she'll be swayed. It doesn't appear that any special talent will be required to plant the seeds. I can escort her over there. Any who wish to accompany me, will be welcome. The moment we reach the temple, I'll leave her with the Priestess and return." She then moves to catch up quickly with Dadric.
OOC: the city description may have been unclear, I'm going to recap the important parts. Feel free to retcon your last actions.
There are two temples in the city: - Lathander's: attended by sister Celenwe and Abott Martellus - Kelemvor's: attended by Lehkrasol
Each temple has a graveyard just next to it. - Lathander's graveyard is the one with the black tree and where Bonewits wants you to plant the enchanted seed. - Kelemvor's graveyard is where you fought zombies.
Luther watches Zephyra go, quietly impressed by her determination to look after the bereaved mother. He regretted his comments on reflection, and wondered if they were borne of discomfort at the subject of familial loss.
To take his mind off things during the wait, he turns to Blossom and says "You any good at planting seeds?"
Blossom shrugs nonchalantly. "Make a hole, put the seed in, cover it.... Or are you asking because you don't want these plants to go for you while you're digging?"
Zephyra escorts the woman quietly, allowing Dadric sometime to process. Then raps on the door again to the Temple. She greets the priestess (hopefully who answers) and introduces them. Then "I must get back to my group. Can you tend to her?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As soon as Zephyra rejoins the group they head off for Lathander's graveyard. Luther will volunteer to take point, more because he is the fighter than due to any particular skill. Nevertheless, he will keep his eyes peeled for any sign of danger.

Luther loosens his grip on the druid - Bonewits - and turns him so they are facing.
"That's quite a story, friend, we'll check it out once you give my associate here some directions"
Luther tries to read Bonewits' intentions and any sign of lying in the story that he just told us.

Back at Bonewits, she steps forward, helping to support the man and peers at his belt. Reaching to gather the pouch. "Are there more you need to see to, or should we take the whole pouch?"
"Will you come with us to plant these seeds? Or at least tell us how?" Ufeza says.
Luther keeps hold of Bonewits, unrepentant for not trusting the man but deciding that he is worth trusting for now.
Blossom softens slightly as the man speaks. "The latter, Ufeza, he can hardly stand."
Zephyra unfastens the pouch from the Druid’s belt carefully, opening it and inspecting the seeds, trying to determine what sort of seeds they are and anything in her memory triggers at seeing them or hearing what they do.

Luther watches Zephyra go, quietly impressed by her determination to look after the bereaved mother. He regretted his comments on reflection, and wondered if they were borne of discomfort at the subject of familial loss.
To take his mind off things during the wait, he turns to Blossom and says "You any good at planting seeds?"
Thariv agrees to the plan and waits with the others for Zephyra's return.
"Not a lot of horticulture done at sea," he offers to the others. "But I'm sure I can help."
Blossom shrugs nonchalantly. "Make a hole, put the seed in, cover it.... Or are you asking because you don't want these plants to go for you while you're digging?"
Ufeza looks at Thariv and asks wryly, “ever bury treasure? Just like that. Also, if you’ve buried treasure I have more questions.”
"Hmm" says the archer "I think I'd be better off covering the people doing the seeding, than putting my weapon down to plant"
Zephyra escorts the woman quietly, allowing Dadric sometime to process. Then raps on the door again to the Temple. She greets the priestess (hopefully who answers) and introduces them. Then "I must get back to my group. Can you tend to her?"
Thariv laughs at Ufeza's question about buried treasure. "Never really buried any treasure," he replies. "I always tended to spend it first."
As soon as Zephyra rejoins the group they head off for Lathander's graveyard. Luther will volunteer to take point, more because he is the fighter than due to any particular skill. Nevertheless, he will keep his eyes peeled for any sign of danger.
