Fenwick attempts to bring the boat about as Jin, losing his temper at being targeted without cause, extricates the javelin from the side of the launch and lofts it back toward the eerie light from whence it came. To his surprise, the javelin strikes home forcing a ghastly howl to emanate from its mark, and with muffled splash, the light falls into the water and goes dark.
As Fenwick finishes his turn, the boat comes about and bumps into a smaller boat that they had not seen until now. Riardon notices a body lying in the bottom of the small craft.
Several other lights appear just outside the obscuring wall of fog that encircles the launch. Talon and Jin count three lights between them. All is silent for a moment, but then there is a stirring sound in the air followed quickly by a rain of steel and wood.
Most of the javelins either fall harmlessly either in the water, or as is the case with six of them, embed themselves in the solid oak timbers of the launch, but one catches Fenwick on the shoulder, leaving a nasty gash.
The water begins to boil with life as fetid, rotting arms grasp the side of the boat. One of these creatures manages to climb in. He grins toothlessly at you through a jaw that sags hanging on a single mandibular joint in what must, at one time, have been his right temple. His body is decomposed and missing several organs, one of which, being the most obvious, is his skin. Reaching with his right arm, he grabs his left wrist and proceeds to dislodge his left arm from its rotator cuff. Using the disembodied limb as club, he brings it down across Jin’s face, whiplashing him badly and leaving a cut on his cheek.
The rotten undead mass laughs silently, his lungs unable to produce the sound because they are missing. He maintains his toothless, dangling grin as his fellow corpses climb aboard.
The dwarf is nowhere in sight.
Riardon, alarmed by the sheer number of assailants, conjures a sheet of ice that coats the surface of the water. Six of the horrid undead freeze and crumble to dust as the ice shifts on the calm waters, but one manages to break free from the lower half of his body and clamber his way up to the side of the launch.
The zombie at the bow of the boat, the one with the dangling jaw and disembodied arm, continues to laugh ignoring the ice that climbs up his legs and coats the outside of his exposed organs. The laughter stops only when the ice finishes encasing the creature, at which point he crumbles to the deck of the launch shattering into frozen dust.[sblock=Mechanics] A bajillion drowned ones swim in to surround the boat
One is close enough to end his move inside the boat.
13 javelins fly from all directions, but only 5 are targeted at squares in which the party is standing.

Drowned Ones are Minions. Either they’re alive or dead, and you can’t see all of them, so I’m just going to keep their numbers a secret for now.[/sblock][sblock=Map Broad View]
