She began to fight recklessly towards him, preparing to cast a healing spell.    Genneth grabbed the tiny foot of Coris, engaging in a macabre tug of war with a zombie over his unconscious friend’s body. He was beginning to think that these zombies seemed extraordinarily powerful…    Whatever the thought would have been, it was never finished. A fast, powerful zombie clubbed him to the ground, and the horde fell upon him.    Dianne realized she was the only conscious being. She redoubled her efforts to reach her husband, hoping and praying she wouldn’t be too late. To her joy she saw him rise and turn towards her…  Zombie Apocalypse Day 7In the morning Mard is pale and seems considerably less robust than usual. The party decides to chance a ground level run through the poor residential section until they reach the better part of town. They hope to find a secure building. They gather everyone two by two, Zathas and Bokin in the front, Girzim, Cliona, and Roger the Blacksmith in the middle, and Eoghan and Draconis are in the back.  A few zombies appear in front of the party while they are running, but Bokin and Zathas take them out quickly.Zathas gets injured, so he is sent to the middle with the civilians. Mard decides to switch him places. Mard and Bokin kill every zombie that comes their way. As the group runs through the maze of homes, a veritable horde of zombies shuffles after them. Eoghan and Draconis begin shooting arrows at the zombies and then Cliona decides they could use her help. She uses her Magic Missile and Crossbow to try to kill the chasing zombies.When several zombies appear in front of the line some of the chasing zombies catch up. There are tense moments as the players cut their way through the undead hordes, hoping to break through before they are swarmed.A little later the group sees an area of burned down buildings within an ornamental wall and the zombies stop in their tracks. They have reached the temple sector remains.That night, they kill all the zombies that are standing nearby and decide that this would be the best place to sleep. While everyone is sleeping, Bokin goes scouting to see which path would be best for the group to take. Bokin's Night Out(Typed by the player)As everyone was calming down in their sacred ground Bokin decided to see which path would be the fastest way to get o the upper class city gates. Girzim casts Hide from Undead on him and he leaves. First he goes north to only to find a road that leads westward. There are a few back streets, but he wants to take the road leading west to find a jewelry shop (we want silver to grind down to make holy water). As he goes west he sees many different shops. The first window he looks in is a clothing shop. The second is rugs, but across the street is a money changer shop. Something caught his eye as he was thinking of breaking in the money changer shop. Diagonally across from him was a jewelry shop. He lets his acid drip on the doorknob until the door opens and he steals all the silver he can carry. When he steps outside of the shop, he runs toward the long road leading westward. That's when he sees two zombies coming his way.What a perfect opportunity to get rid of some more zombies, he thought. With his mighty battleaxe he swings at them until they both fall to the ground. Now visible to everything, he decides he must go check out the city gates. On the way there, he sees and kills many zombies. When he reaches the gates, to his satisfaction, he only finds a few zombies wandering around. He kills a few more with his battleaxe and decides to climb a building to see if he can see over the wall to the upper class town. When he first tries this he fails and falls to the ground. Irritated that a zombie should come after him after he fell, he gets up and kills it with one heavy blow. Then he successfully climbs up the building only to see empty streets and rich houses on the other side of the gates. That's a little comforting, he thought. He glides from the rooftop to the top of the gate's wall just to make sure there are no zombies inside. Sure enough, he didn't see any. By now, a few zombies are chasing after him and he decides it would be best if he returned to the temple grounds.As he is running down the street he stops to kill a few more zombies. Suddenly, to his surprise, he hears "Impressive little one." It was a deep dark voice and he looks around to see if there was anyone near him. Scared to death, he runs faster than what he was before. With a thud, he stops running and looks at the large creature standing in front of him. It looks like a three-headed Dragon Ogre. The Dragon Ogre grabs Bokin by his wings and mentally plays with him a little bit. Bokin asks,"are you a friend or a foe? Will you help us fight the zombies?" The Dragon Ogre replies, "I don't think so." Bokin pulls out his battleaxe and swings it at the large creature. It hits with a loud thud, and he lets go of Bokin. While running Bokin spots a sewer grate, flings it off and runs through the sewers. He hears something behind him and ducks suddenly only to see flames going over his head. Bokin quickly gets up and runs until he sees a light coming from above. Without checking, zombies being the least of his worries, he jumps out from the sewer, takes his bearings, and runs toward the temple grounds.Along the way, he ran into a few zombies, killed them as quickly as he could, and then ran onto the temple grounds. Knowing he wasn't safe from all the evil creatures that inhabit this town, he didn't sleep very well. He also decided not to tell anyone of his adventures that night for he wanted them to get the best sleep. He would tell them in the morning.Zombie Apocalypse Day 8Bokin awoke from an uneasy sleep to see Mard standing at the edge of the temple area. Bokin walked up to him. Mard was unsteady on his feet, swaying slightly with the breeze. Beads of sweat dotted his pale face. His gaze was far away, wistfully set upon the mountains.“Are you alright, Mard?” Bokin asked.“Hm?” Mard said with a start, “I wish I could see the mountains one more time…”“You will, Mard,” Bokin said, knowing it wasn’t true, “you’ll see. It will all turn out right in the end.”Mard smiled sadly, “I’d better wake the others.”Bokin tells the group that there is a Dragon Ogre running around the town. He says that it's been watching him and possibly the whole group. He also says which route is the best to take to get to the gates and that he stole silver for making holy water.Observing the zombies milling about outside of the sacred ground, the party notices several zombies that appear to be former adventurers. Desirous of their magic items, which they can clearly detect, the party decides they want to attack the zombies and drag their bodies onto holy soil. Bokin, Draconis, Eoghan, and Zathas leave the holy ground to attack the zombies while Clione and Girzim provide cover. The zombies are easily dispatched, but then hilarity ensues as the party (except Bokin) miserably fail to drag the bodies back.* Eventually they manage it.Dividing up the loot, Clione gets a wand of fireballs with very few charges remaining and a ring of protection +1. Girzim gets a +1 small sized heavy steel shield, a wand of cure light wounds, and a grey bag of tricks. Draconis gets a +1 axe and 2 cure moderate wounds potions. Eoghan gets a +1 longbow and 2 cure moderate wounds potions. Bokin gets a +1 small battleaxe and 2 cure moderate wounds potions.The party spends the rest of that day burying the bodies of the zombies.*An incredibly funny series of Strength check failures ensued where no one but Bokin could achieve anything.</blockquote>
