The dead bodies are in the huts around the lake. Not in the lake or on the grass
Just an FYI, If the little bastard disappears on you just log out and log back in.

It sounds like these... "dwarves"... you found managed to steal a powerful botani artifact. But the fools didn't know they need a special water to power it. To the north is a well along the Evermorn Rise. There you will find a guardian, a creature of water we have named Utrophis.
