Sinking Ever Deeper [IC] (HM Judging)

[SelcSilverhand]

OOC:
[SBLOCK]
Sorry about leaving you guys hanging for so long. I started a new job after a year of unemployment. The interview to start date was about 3 days and have been working 4:30am to 4pm every day. Then got booked for the weekend to organize a cub scout event. This week we are switching back to saner hours (6am to 4pm) so I should be able to keep up on posts again.

The rime hound tears into the undead creature. Its supernatural bite severs the zombies head at the neck and sends it sailing through the air to land with a plop in the mud a few feet away. The eyeballs roll crazily and the mouth continues to open and close for a few moments before the animating force fades from it.

Temporarily freed up from having to perform rear guard duties, the people remaining on the ground make for the chimney. Zoryks legs disappear up the flue as he follows Vincenzo up. Fulgrim continues to stand his ground, waiting to be the last one up.

Elenka will dismiss the Rime Hound and then retreat to the fireplace to await her turn at climbing up the flue.

"What a mess this turned out to be, hmm?" she says to Fulgrim and anyone else awaiting their turn at the climb. "I certainly never expected to be fighting zombies while fleeing through the dank underbelly of the city. Doesn't look much like a City of Glass from this side."

Vincenzo stops at the darkened room and starts digging in his pack for a light source. He finds a sunrod and smacks its head on the fireplace stone work.

Vincenzo
[SBLOCK]
Your sunrod illuminates a sparse room approximately 15x15'. Dust lies heavily on the floor around you. A closet stands off to one side. Across from the fireplace you emerged from is closed doorway.

Fulgrim nods to Elenka as she passes by "Eh. Thought dis was just going to be a movin' job!" Fulgrim replies, his eyes watching for any more zombies approaching the hearth. "An here we are runnin' through the soggy underbelly of da city!"

Fulgrim keeps an eye out for any approaching zombies, ready to start his own ascent once the others have started their climb.

Vincenzo
[SBLOCK]
Pulling on the closet door, the entire thing tears free of its rotten hinges. You quickly sidestep the falling debris and peer into the cavity behind it. You can see a large collection of clothes rotting on hooks set in the wall. A larger pile lies on the floor where weaker fabrics did not stand up to the decay as well. You can still make out some of the expensive colors they were dyed with.

Zoryk vanishes farther up the chimney, coming even with the room Vincenzo discovered. He begins to scramble up to join his comrade.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Vincenzo drops the sunrod and continues up the next portion of the flue. He awaits the sensation of the hearth stone that will eventually be found with his head.

"nothing herre except rotted clothing. Lets keep going Zoryk!"

 

[IronWolf]

Fulgrim calls to the others as he looks for more approaching zombies "Come on! Up the chimney!

Fulgrim
[SBLOCK]It looks like Zoryk and Vincenzo are continuing upward past the first opening they came to.

From the other room you can see the severed body twitch as the creatures below it try to tear it apart to ascend.
