He was up in a shot, through the door of the children's room just as a .. thing .. burst its way through the shutters. Glass and wood showered the room. The youngest was screaming, but thankfully also already moving, scrambling backwards and out of the way. His brother was waking in a daze, as if unsure of what was going on. Such small children to face this thing.Their mother was screaming. Just lying and screaming, as if frozen by fear.The thing reaching through the window looked like some rotted remnant of a man. Its face was covered in a crudely stitched mask, its eyes boring through two small holes like dull lanterns. Its teeth were longer and much, much sharper than a humans. Danth knew it at once. A ghoul! A foul creature. Undead, but still with a mind, albeit one half-crazed from its insatiable hunger for flesh and blood. The stench rolled off it in waves as it stretched an arm into the room towards the young boy waking from his sleep. Its fingers were like bony claws.Jokad heard the commotion and was up like lightening. What sort of inhuman strength would it take to break down these shutters. As if in answer, the shutter of the room he was in flew from its hinges, sending with  it a powerful spray of glass and debris. Jokad caught a glimpse of something  bounce away. Perhaps a large boulder, or a thick log? And then the thing drew itself up and started to climb inside.---Five entering the yard. The four foot wall didn't seem to stop them for long. Jovik and Kael were ready, though. Jovik offered up a quick word in case anyone was listening, and Kael got ready to throw kick the torch towards the yard ... but not until they were fully inside.And then they were in. Running, almost loping across the farmyard. Kael kicked, the bucket flew out, the torch spiraling and sending its light into the night.It was time for battle!OOC: We have at least 2 at the back of the house, possibly more. We have 5 visible in the yard, clustered together and moving fast towards the entrance of the house, although they have been alerted towards Jovik and Kael, of course. The yard is lit up quite well, so effectively no cover there. INITIATIVE AND ACTIONS PLEASE!</blockquote>
