I'm still of the mindset that all of the Hildibrand questline is being told by Nashu, which is why everything is so ridiculous. She IS the one who breaks the 4th wall when it comes to what to expect next from the adventures. She's eccentric enough to where certain things make no sense, but DO make sense if you look at them from a different perspective.

Julyan being a horrible cook yet can make something dispelling zombie powder makes perfect sense when you remember that there are 2 crafting jobs that cook, Culinarian AND Alchemist. Julyan isn't a CUL, she's an ALC.
Hildibrand rising from the grave yet being found in the desert with "zombies" doesn't make sense. However, Hildibrand being presumed dead yet being found alive after Dalamud by a band of brigands, makes perfect sense.

You get the point, I feel Nashu is vastly exaggerating what happened, and we're seeing all of it from what SHE thinks happened.
