Re: fleeing sc?
I'm pretty sure the Plague Bow merely causes disease on whatever unit it hits. Far inferior to Woundflame.
It spreads relatively quickly, but not so quickly that a five-round attack/flee will have killed off the enemy army. I believe I've had it kill off 80% of a 150-man army, but the fight lasted for 20-odd rounds. Woundflame is, in my eyes, a way of ensuring that a defeated army doesn't get to rout and regroup.

Edit: just noticed the other questions. Yes, the wielder gets diseased. No, if he's undead it doesn't hurt him. I presume the Chalice would heal this disease like any other but I don't know for certain since I've only ever given Woundflame to undead.
