Begin searching for my Worshiper.
Also do the graveyard searching thing.

Fortunately, locating your worshiper is simpler than you feared it to be, as you track his location down to somewhere inside the large, but relatively mundane church located at the center of the town. Unfortunately, you cannot narrow it down any further, the wards around the church powerful enough to prevent easy entry to one such as you, who are anathema to Life.
There seems to be a modest sized graveyard at the outskirts of the village, grave-markers shaded by trees, no doubt the doctrine of the Life-Goddess that those who died be returned to other life or some such rot.
Interesting, you also discover a single old burial mound much further out, though the locals think it merely a hill. There are also some mass graves deep beneath the foundations of the newer buildings at the edges of the village, probably those slain by plague or the like, though they seem to have been dug long ago.

When night comes, I send a dream to the patriarch. The dream is of the young girl grown up and in full battle attire. In the dream, she has just killed several enemy warriors with an honour guard at her side. My visage can be seen in the background.
I give the girl great skill in the battle arts, relative to her age. Her skill will grow more quickly in training than normal.

Your dream is miraculously effective, completely renewing the Patriarch's flagging faith in you, that had almost been reduced to a deeply engraved habit. He takes the girl under his wing as his personal pupil, teaching her all he knows. Surprisingly, the other members of the family are largely supportive of this, helped on by how quickly she takes to fighting, her skill quickly outstripping her peers at the dojo.
The girl, called Nimu, has taken this as a blessing from you, and faithfully prays to your statue in thanks every sunrise.
Her rapid progress seems to have spurred something on in the Patriarch Argul, and one night over a family supper, he spoke with the members of the clan about the prophetic dream he had, of young Nimu a warrior full-grown leading the family to glory on the battlefield.
His testimony seems to have created something of a rift in the family, with two, his son and daughter, being filled with vigor by his words, their worship becoming somewhat more genuine. However, the rest of the family seems inclined to think that Argul is finally losing his mind to old age, and are considering politely forcing him into retirement.
Argul's grandson by his daughter still struggles to piece together burnt pieces of parchment, trying to restore the original document. The rest of the family is becoming worried about his health, as he is obsessing over it, rarely leaving his room even for meals.
