Just make sure you BCC me, I like to know what is going on. That's what makes me a good DM. . . or nosy. Either one I suppose. No seriously, add me in to the PMs.
Continue towards the village to find this cult, but try not to be seen, it would be most annoying if I was reported.
[1] You continue onwards, but it isn't long before you hear the alarm being raised. Curses, some peasant must have seen you and ran ahead of you to report it. The town guard will be here soon. You could probably kill them, but then the humans would send actual soldiers to hunt you down. How annoying.
Go into human form and look for another village.
[4] Thankfully you were already in human form otherwise the knights would already be attacking you. You quickly gather up your belongings, that is to say, nothing, and head out on the roads. You reach an intersection, the road to the right would take you to Castile, the road to the left would take you to some other peasant village. Oh the decisions one must make.
Shuakegu smiled to himself, taking a deep drag from his cigarette as he looked around. Good, good... Looks like there's a lot of fear in this part of the world. Fear and anger. A shame there are no survivors to feed upon. He removed the cigarette and exhaled the smoke; too big a cloud of it came from his mouth, more than any mortal man could possibly hold in his lungs. After it dissipated into the air, he stuck out his tongue and tasted the the air. The hatred tastes like sentient animals and elves. I think I'll take a look around before I follow that sweet, succulent sensation back to its source.
He pulled his tongue back into his mouth, replaced his cigarette at the corner of his lips, and shouldered his halberd. Yes, indeed. Not a great beginning, but it was a challenge, and he hadn't had one in years. Maybe there would be a druid around to snack on... or drive insane. Maybe even to convert into a worshipper. He grinned and headed off in a random direction to look for one.
[2] You head off in an random direction keen on finding an elven druid but none show up. Before too long you arrive at the official border between the Deserts and the Forest. You can see a small village of animal people on the horizon. You chuckle a little, look for elves and find the animals.
Hellbringer then stepped forward so they could see him in his demon form, and said "I am Hellbringer, the future Demon King. It is a pleasure to meet ones that could be allies, so how about it will you join me on my quest to becoming the Demon King, and become my allies, and my loyal soldiers?"
[5] The mortals err. . . dead mortals, are instantly impressed with seeing a true demon and agree to serve you and only you almost instantly. It's good to be the king. . . future king.

Scout the village out, looking particularly for some wealthy nobles or disgruntled soldiers
[6] The town is too new, too fresh, for any of the "nobles" here to be all that wealthy. Nearly all the soldiers are disgruntled though on the bright side seeing as how this town is in the middle of a mud pit that's infected with insects and far away from their homes.
Head down and ask the innkeeper or equivalent who the real powers are here. The lich can't be the only entity with any clout, even if most of the real players are under his banner.
If we get a second action, get a second opinion out on the streets.
[1] You head downstairs and find the innkeeper is missing his lower jaw. Apparently it was the cook that was yelling at you earlier. . . or something. You ask him about the major players here in town but all you get back is "Mmrrogllmrollgoel." You're assuming that roughly translates to "Go away."
[4] Taking the hint you leave the inn and head outside. Zombies, skeletons, and wraiths all walk the streets presumably living their lives just as though they had never ended. You see a small skeleton boy employed as a Crier and ask him about the major players in town. "
Yah must be new 'round these parts. Lookin' pretty fresh too if I do say so myself. Of course the Lich, Xavier, is the one everyone knows about. There are a couple who don't take too kindly to his influence though. The Skeleton "King" John the fourteenth and the Wraith Claire, are very opposed to his policies. Why just yesterday Claire was raisin' all sorts of trouble down in the town square. I bet if you search the surrounding area, she's still around." You give the boy a couple of copper pieces you didn't know you had in your pocket for his trouble and begin to plan your next move.
