Winnifred scrambles up from the holy ground, and screeches as her feet begin to steam and glow beneath her. "Accursed child! Accursed apothecary! Accursed wizards and witches all!"

You feel a terrible wind whip through the cemetery as the witches begin to chant. You can hear Puck try to drown them out with his own witty repartee, but for some reason he sounds like he's coming from the other end of the tunnel.
"Hear me well and hear me wise, though meet we now with our demise. To stone we turn on hallowed ground, but peace, respite will not be found! With my last breath I do intone- thine doom as well, will come through Stone! I damn my soul now unencumbered. This city's days, I say, are numbered!"
Something has been sped up.
To Be Continued in: Twelfth Night
As Winnifred finishes her spiteful verse, the light and smoke grows to blinding intensity.
"Smile, girls." Mary says morosely.
Winnifred scowls and clenches her fists in fury.
"Winnie, don't make that face." Sarah says. "It'll… freeze... like… that…"
There is a blinding flash. When you can see again, the witches are gone. In their place are three tombstones, of Sarah, Mary, and Winnifred Sanderson, each crowned by a horrifying statue of dark stone.

From an alcove, another figure skulked. This one popped open a small device, and Molly spoke in her angry, synthetic tones.
"Yes. He was here. That item you were worried about? He bought it." Molly paused a moment. "And he had a wizard with him. Strong. She called herself…"
"Lord Feldrake."
