No clues were discovered as to why the elves had ambushed them. But they didn't want to hang around and see if reinforcements were coming.Alrissian took the lead and after another few hours they found a 3 story building. It was overgrown with vines. The door was slightly ajar. As everyone was tethering their mounts Bernedette went inside."Well this looks like the place," Thane said."What happens inside an elven temple?" Timmay asked Alrissian."I'm not sure," he replied. "They remind me of brothels. You always have to pay for services rendered.""No wonder Bernedette hurriedly went inside," Timmay chuckled.The party heard a shriek. Alrissian was the first to the door. Inside Bernedette was sprawled on the floor. Two elven figures were pawing her. Three others were flat on their backs in a puddle of slick fluid. And a sixth was blocking a staircase going up. There was an odor of decay in the air. Thane started to light some oil. K'shar moved to Bernedette's vicinity.Alrissian stabbed one of the creatures with his rapier. The zombie struck Alrissian. Bartol didn't have time to draw his sword. So he improvised. He barreled thru the door and lunged for the nearest creature. He tripped on Alrissian and landed at the ranger's feet. Thane hurled his flask of oil. It struck the 3 greased bodies. K'shar and Amy battled the other 2 free figures. Timmay pulled out his crossbow and moved closer. The elves were zombies.Alrissian stabbed again into the zombie near the stairs and door. It was now clear of the stairs. Bartol drew his sword and chopped at the legs of another of the undead. He took the flesh off to the bone. K'shar and Amy still fought on. The supports for the stairs started to burn. Timmay crept past the melee and up the stairs. He then turned and buried a bolt into Bartol's zombie. It collapsed. Thane went to Bernedette's aid. He cast a quick spell to stop any more blood loss. She wasn't yet conscious. The three other zombies were no longer struggling. They stood up.Alrissian again stabbed his zombie. It fell apart. Bartol stood and brought down one of the zombies under the stairs. K'shar brought down the one he had been battling. The fire was rising on the stair supports. The wood was old and very dry. Timmay covered Bartol with his crossbow. When one of the last 2 zombies moved out from under the stair, Timmay plugged it. This left just one. Thane continued to help Bernedette. His attention went to the fire. The zombie lumbered over to Bartol but was blocked by the buckler.Alrissian poked the energy out of the creature. Bartol began to beat the fire out. Thane stepped up and cast a shower of water extinguishing the flames. Bernedette finally woke up. Timmay proudly put away his crossbow.</blockquote>
