Moving onwards through the seemingly deserted town Load decided to fly ahead and scout. He found there was another group of undead present in the area around the town square.
Forewarned the party slowly moved forward. Several more zombie creatures were present together with a slightly broader creature than looked very muscular. Loag cast a spell on Andurin and he grew in size, doubling the reach of his weapon and he charged into the battle, quickly impaling several zombies on his lance. Loag muttered a word of power and with a burst of fire, several of the zombies were killed instantly and the rest were burned to a significant degree. David had moved forward into the fray by this point, only to come face to face with the strange muscular creature, who with a mighty blow knocked him into a shallow grave in the earth which he then had to spend the next several rounds trying to get out of. With a final flourish of his weapon Andurin killed the remaining zombies and the entomber.
Moving onwards the group next decided to enter the local tavern from which there was a glimmer of light. After ordering 3 meads at the bar they struck up a conversation with the barman, asking him what was going on.
"Well, it's the Count you see, Count Reiner Heydrich, he's an undead who lives in the Castle and he sends his zombies out to try and find Ireena. He believes she's the reincarnation of his late wife. He makes sure its dark all the time so he can move about. Rumour is he's a vampire."
Not liking the sound of this ther party retired for the night and decided that the following day they would investigate the local church.
The next day was just as dark and gloomy as before. Moving towards the church they came to another intersection where a dead horse lay in the street, being chewed on by several zombies, but there were also stange dog like creatures and also what looked like a ghoul. Wasting no time David acted first and teleported into a nearby empty building. Cursing David's lack of courage, Loag whispered the words of a spell and a several walls of flame spread across the street. Being single minded and not intelligent the undead moved through the walls, taking damage from the heat and meaning only a few managed to get through to Andurin, where they were quickly slaughtered.
Moving on the party reached the church and noted that the church and graveyard appeared to be deserted.
Or were they...
