[QUOTE="horticulture, post: 5613277, member: 6671055"] 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. [gm]Sorry for the slowing posting, I'm preparing for a business trip and things have been very hectic. The group did reach a milestone and have received an action points.
