Of course that rat bite would give Mikiko the plague. Why wouldn't it? Also, "Windrax" sounds like Windex.
The worms to the south of the church are very slow. Also to the south is a house, and if you search the dresser, you'll find some Flint. Take it. If you talk to the man in the bed, he will tell you to leave the village due to the plague before he dies.
To the west is a well. The man there is already dead. West still is the smithy, and if you go inside, Usagi's ancestor will show up and pull a book out of the bookshelf. This is the Book of Old Songs, and you're going to need it for later.
North of the smithy is an empty house where you can find a red Capsule. There is a doorway to the north, but you won't be able to get very far as the stairway is frozen and you won't be able to go down it...unless you go back inside and use the Flint in the fireplace to get some Hot Water to unfreeze the stairway.
South of the well is another house, and in one of the dressers is a Silver Claw that can be used as a weapon. The man in the bed will tell you about the plague, and ask how Father Musilde in the village church is doing.
North of the well is a gate, but it is locked by order of King Gharroth.
Go back to the frozen staircase and interact with it to pout the hot water on it. Go to the north, and you'll find the Rune Stone. Head back to the church. Believe it or not, the two boxes can be used as a stairway to the window on the right, which you can jump up to smash with the Daikatana. Just move the box on the right underneath the window, then get the left one next to it. Jump up, break the window and go inside. You'll find a cartridge for the Bolter and a door to the north. Pushing the boxes out of the way to the man in the corner is easy, and you'll be able to get a Rope along the way.
When you talk to the man, you'll be back in the main hall. You'll learn that this is Father Musilde, and he tells you that the village was peaceful until an unknown disease attacked the village. Around the same time, the rat population in the village grew. He also mentions that King Gharroth has totally changed when a strange wizard named Nharre approached the King, and that King Gharroth has become a tyrant ever since. Mikiko proposes that by defeating Nharre, King Gharroth will be his usual self again and lend his power to the Daikatana. King Gharroth's castle is beyond the sealed gate to the north.
If you talk to Father Musile again with the Book of Old Songs in your inventory, he will play on the organ and move the statue to the north to reveal another Rune Stone that you'll need.
You can now leave through the door to the church to go back to the village. Go to the well and interact with it. You'll be able to use the rope to climb down and get the Rune Stone. Go back to the gate, and you'll use the three Rune Stones to enter the castle. Father Musilde will show up and give you a charm, them Mikiko will mention that she feels dizzy before going in. The next door open automatically.
You'll then see a cutscene in King Gharroth's throne room, then you'll be able to control Hiro again. Save your game here. There is a cartridge for the Bolter (which you'll probably need) and a green Capsule that will refill 150 HP (which you may or may not need at the moment). When you go north, Nharre's first disciple Windrax will show up and activate a trap door, and you'll have to fight a beast. Equip the Bolter, stay away from the walls, and run away when this boss repeatedly punches so you don't get tackled and lose a lot of health. Another strategy you can utilize is to come into this battle with full health, stay near the boss and brute force your way through the battle by tanking damage and shooting the boss repeatedly with the Bolter. However you do it, you'll get the Jail Key.
The Jail Key will let you leave the room and meet Musilde's brother. Musilde will understand that his brother is still alive, then tell you that he was put in jail for warning King Gharroth of Nharre's plans. We see a flashback where Nharre persuades King Gharroth to break the Holy Sword. If Nharroth is defeated and the Holy Sword is restored, King Gharroth will come to his senses.
Use the Jail Key to leave this area. At this point, Mikiko wil be sick. Go into the nearby cabin and Mikiko will rest. If you interact with the nearby crate, you'll find a hidden room with two zombie-like enemies that will spit projectiles at you. Beat them from a distance. The two boxes will contain a Castle Key as well as a yellow Capsule.
Leave the cabin and open the doors to the north. As you explore, you'll find several Capsules as well as Bolter cartridges. You'll also find the Ballista, which is more powerful and has its own ammunition. If you need to conserve health, equip the Hammer.
There is a corridor with brown enemies that look somewhat like Superfly. They will go down in one hit with the Hammer. There are four carpets in the room, and the one to the northeast has a pay-attention-and-you'll-notice indention in the upper-right corner signifying it is a tile you should stand on. Standing on it will open up the rest of the way.
