Hovering slightly above his companion's heads, he scans the dimly lit corridors with keen eyes, darting back and forth in a nervous ballet in an attempt to see whether the horde of zombies is approaching from the front or the back. "If only these zombies announced their dinner reservations!" he quips with an uncharacteristically shrill and nervous tinge.With every shadow that flickers and every echo that bounces off the ancient stone walls, Jack's grip tightens on the magic swirling at his fingertips, ready to unleash a frosty blast of ice magic. "I do hope they appreciate a chilly reception, because it's all I've got on the menu tonight!"  Jack attempts to maintain a semblance of bravado as he prepares his Icy Touch spell, aiming for the first undead figure that dares to stagger into his line of sight.[SPOILER=Readied Action] <a href="https://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=289957" target="_blank">Jack likely hits (16 to attack) but does only minimal damage (2 HP)</a>.  Icy Touch is a reskinned variant of the Chill Touch spell, which does cold damage instead of necrotic.[/SPOILER][SPOILER=OOC for DM]Not sure how high the ceilings are here.  Assuming it's just 10 feet or so, Jack is flying up just to peer over everyone's heads.  If there's a lot more clearance, Jack would fly up high enough that he could reasonably be out of reach from zombies grasping below, but far enough from the ceiling to stay agile.  Maybe 15' up from the floor to his feet, maximum, and ready to go higher if the zombies look like they could reach him.  Jack is not considering any possibility that there may be unknown dangers lurking above.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
