REFUGEVILLE

Ah. And how inteligent (as far as our villagers would know) would a lowly ghould be;, and how much of their mind and knowledge of when they were once alive remains ? Do they act entirely by senses and basic intincts/ basic programing or can they track and make some basic deductions (like for example seeing tracks and/or a house and deducing this might be a spot with people there, try comming back to a same spot later, etc...) ?

Because if it's the later, just hiding in the house won't do, might as well hide in the bsement and make sure the entrance is covered and concealed or frankly better to kill thetneutralize from behind by tearing it's throat (.. it still need a htroat to scream, doesn't it ?) before it can even see the house and burn it fast.
