The temple is filled with a cacophony of thick, horrid moaning and the staccato rhythm of hundreds of undead fists beating against the temple doors. Suddenly, a sharp cracking noise echoes through the temple, and you realize your defenses have been breached!
A large group of zombies burst through the side doors. A pair of undead dogs slip in behind them, eyes a dull and lifeless red; their flesh hanging in rotting strips.

Primary Skills: Athletics, Dungeoneering, Religion, Thievery.
- Athletics (DC 15, standard action, 1 success, no maximum): The character realizes finesse is no trade for quick and effective physical labor. The character pounds nails, carries heavy objects, and uses brute strength shove invading zombies back through the doors.
- Dungeoneering (DC 15, standard action, 1 success, no maximum): The character’s knowledge of stone and underground construction lets him or her see how the temple might best be fortified using the meager supplies available.
- Religion (DC 15, standard action, 1 success, no maximum): The character offers a prayer to Onatar, asking him to lend his strength to the characters’ endeavor and slow the tide of undead seeking to further desecrate his temple.
- Thievery (DC 15, standard action, 1 success, no maximum): The character has spent a lifetime getting into places he or she is not wanted. It’s not terribly difficult to turn that concept on its head and use those skills to craft sturdy barricades.
- Perception (DC 10, minor action, no successes): The character’s keen eyes help more skilled companions find the best materials to aid in fortifying the temple. A successful check grants a +2 bonus to one ally’s next Dungeoneering or Thievery check made as part of this skill challenge.

Deimos could hit the 5 enemies up right of him with one attack, possibly pushing everyone and and killing the minions. (I need only a 5-7 to hit)
But I will wait to do it until a skill roll succeeds.

Tana quickly considered the tactical situation, and saw that unless she wanted to throw her blade -- which she could do, if the situation warranted it -- she would have a few seconds before things came to blade work. On the other hand, if she could work a bit of a warding into this place -- and she had always been good with defensive magic -- that would be quite useful.
"Let me try something." She said, quickly scratching sigils on the floor with her rapier. She continued talking, but it was under her breath; those trained in arcane arts recognized the words, but it was quite fast.
"That should help." She said when she finished, sounding satisfied.

With bright and warming light bursting forth from the stout dwarf, the heroes rush forth to stem the inevitable tide of undead attempting to feast upon their flesh. A line is formed by Ghourra, Brondin, and Deimos' summoned minion, all lashing out with weapons and fiery limbs.
The undead are quick to retaliate however. The zombies move towards the nearest of the adventurers, reaching out with gnarled hands and rusted swords. Brondin and Ghourra manage to block of deflect each of these attacks but they are ill-prepared for the speed and ferocity of the undead canines, each of them latching on to the two and dragging to them to the floor.
