Stealth seems pointless anyways, with amount of noise you make.  In fact, as you move along a zombie hears you and turns to pursue.As you round the corner onto Temple Street, you see a man, cornered, trying to fend off two zombies.   Beside him is a dead donkey tied to a small cart.  One of the two zombies is feasting on poor animal.If you abandon stealth and run, you can make the gate in just a few moments.  If you stop, the rats will catch up in no time.[SPOILER="OOC"]Let's zoom in on combat here.If you keep moving, you can avoid the rats, the two zombies attacking the merchant will also ignore you and you can make it to the gate. The gate is about 300 feet away.You still have one zombie on your tail.If you stop, the rats show up in round 3.Round 1What do you do?Enemies:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">pursuing zombie</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zombie eating horse</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zombie attacking merchant</li> </ul>[/SPOILER][ATTACH=full]412125[/ATTACH][HR][/HR]Cures & CuriositiesThe mist turns a darker red as it sucks blood from Benny, who scrambles up the ladder.  But being high up won't help as it starts to float up towards the group on the balcony.As soon as Deidre sees what it has done, there's no mistaking that this is a Vampiric Mist - either the remnant of a fallen vampire brought back by the evil energy of the storm or, perhaps, the air itself brought to unlife.  Whatever its origin, it clearly isn't at its full power yet...although, that is no comfort to you as you look at its victims scattered on the floor below.  Anson’s flame flies from his hand into the mist and a small part of it evaporates and takes a split second before it reconstitutes.[ATTACH=full]412128[/ATTACH][SPOILER="GM"]This thing will be a challenging fight for just three characters and it is quite deadly.  But it is undead so you guys have some options against it.  If you choose to flee, it will not pursue.It's supposed to kill you at 0 hp but it isn't night time yet so it's not at full power, so you still get your death saves.Round 1  What do you do<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The vampiric mist has already attacked.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Benny moved but still has an action, which could be another movement if you all choose to retreat.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Anson hit and did 4 fire damage</li> </ul>[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
