Valen Sablewood

The tall Tureni steps beside Corath, sword high, and hacks into the undead horror fiercely.

The zombie focuses its attention on Corath as her lunge goes wide and thus it does not see Valen's sword arcing toward it until it is far too late...and its head lies several feet from its motionless body.

OOC: And the battle is over! 66 experience points each.

As the dust settles, the group notes the donkey idly grazing a hundred feet further down the road. Highflyer returns to Johen's shoulder. Norali shudders, looking at the twice-dead corpses, "Where did these come from?"

 

[Amaury]

"Wow! That was fast! I was getting concerned we would not be able kill them - again..
but they're all dead now, aren't they? wonders the young druid looking at the
motionless corpses hesitantly.

He pulls his shortspear from the zombi and cleans it in the grass. He welcomes Highflyer back on
his shoulder and realises suddenly that the donkey is gone! "Where.. where is..?
Ah there you are!" he says as he spots the donkey. He trots to get him back and
walks back to his companions pulling the donkey on the lead.

Muzdum hits the motionless corpses until he reduce them to a shapeless mass.
"Better ta be sur', never know when these bastards will rise again!" He said seriously.

Estelle grimaces at the smell these foul creatures emit. She bends down over the decapitated one, covering her nose with her hand as she plucks out her two daggers. Walking over to the grass she wipes them clean and tucks them back into her belt. "They look like men. What a fate." She frowns as she stares back at the bodies. "I got lucky. Those things look like they're mighty strong and it near hit my face. We should burn them, or at least go into town and let the watch know these are here."

 

[Arkhandus]

"How strange..... It is curious how these men got here in such condition. Should we investigate or just carry on with our mission?" Alaric asks.

The ranger wipes his word clean after making sure no other foes approach. "Those look like the workers at the quarry. SHould we not go and see if any yet survive and need our help?"

The ranger wipes his word clean after making sure no other foes approach. "Those look like the workers at the quarry. SHould we not go and see if any yet survive and need our help?"

"Absolutely" Aohdan said as he wiped down his sword with a wadded handfull of dry grass. "Two reasons - To check on the workers and lend aid if they are in trouble, and to get some clues as to why these things were sent after us. Did you see how slow they were moving? Either they were hanging around out of sight as we passed them earlier and came out after us, or someone got them here in a hurry from the quarry, specifically to attack us. I can't imagine they would have been able to just catch up to us on thier own. Something stinks about this, and it ain't just those corpses."

 

[Amaury]

"I agree. I am surprised though that none of us spotted them as we walk by.

This is so unnatural. It has to be stopped." concludes Johen who was gaining in confidence after this fight.
