"By Pelor and St. Cuthbert!"
Dareios jumps from his horse, closing his vizor, and positioning himself between Dammerung and the advancing animals. He will wait until the others have shot their arrows, and then attack the first wolf that comes near with his silver axe, leaving the small critters for Strider.
"Rick, keep your hamster protected! Make sure we don't mistake it for one of those dread rats!"

OOC: Given we've been walking all day and into the evening, I'm Nikolai has recast his at least the False Life and probably the Extended Mage Armor as well.
Gripping his morningstar in one hand, Nikolai (5') steps clear of any immediate attackers and casts Protection from Evil; looking for somewhere the party can take cover and avoid being swarmed.

Rick was focused on Boo when the battle begun. Boo is locked in the carrier and Rick takes his sword of his shoulder and readies and action to swing at the first wolf that approches.
(+10 attack, dodge against first wolf to approach him, cleave (in needed) a wolf, if no wolf a rat)
Yelling to the party "Focus on the wolves, leave the rats and bats to your animals."

After muttering a few words, Willow reaches out with a flame-shrouded hand into the air and into the swarm of bats.

Round 2
As the wave of bats and rats and several wolves move closer to the party, it becomes appearent that there is something very wrong with them. Bats, Rats, and Wolves are all acting very strangely and as a shambling group they move towards the party.
Dareios had waited for the wave of animals, but the animals moved so slowly they have yet to come close enough to attack.
Skorl and Rick, who advanced ahead of the party, wading through the ranks of rats to engage the unnatural wolves in melee, discovered exactly why they were acting so strange when he was overcome by the horrible smell of their bodies.
Lia Nailo, Jack Morrow, Alessandra Exaulticien, and Willow also figured it out, even through the fog and the darkness.
The bats, rats, and wolves are zombies. A wave of hundreds of tiny zombies.
Initiative
20: Lia Nailo fires two arrows at the nearest zombie wolf and one arrow hit, the other missed due to the fog (12+ hit, 15+ hit but missed due to concealment by fog, dmg 7-5=2)

18: Alessandra Exaultiacien calls upon Pelor's Light and destroys the incoming zombie bats (Turn Undead, Turn Check 9+5=14, Turning Damage: 18 hit dice, destroys 3 6HD swarms of zombie bats)
17: Skorl Darkskull (-6) ignores the horrible stench (fort save 6+) and destroys one zombie wolf and wounds a second zombie wolf(11+ hit, dmg 18; cleave 17+ hit, dmg 21)
12: Dareios mounts his horse and presses forward to join Skorl and Rick (horse stomps on a rat swarm, 16+ hit, dmg 7)
12: Strider barks

"PELOR!"
Dareios is quick to jump on his horse's back again, but the young mercenary does not flee.
Spuring Dammerung, he heads towards where Skorl is standing, ready to confront the monstrosities that are routing his friend.
If possible, he will put away his axe, and draw his longsword...
"Strider, stay back!" He shouts a last command...

Skorl lets out a loud battle cry as he stands against the horde, his powerful legs maintaining his footing despite the hundreds of small beasts swarming about. He continues with mighty swings of his heavy blade, laying about with reckless abandon.
OOC:
2 point power attack (+9 attack, 2d6+13 damage/19-20), cleave if possible
AC 17, HP 41/47
