[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 1272629, member: 11574"] The burning zombie continued on it's path towards Gothmog, flesh charring and pus sizzling in the heat. Gothmog sends the flaming sphere rolling into the next zombie in line. The sphere rolls into the zombie's legs burning through them and send the rest of the zombie crashing down to the snow, and catching on fire with a roar. That zombie however stops moving. Tharhack had been lost in awe, and almost failed to react to the zombie closing on him. Choosing to try and fight initially instead of using one of his turn attempts, Tharhack slams his fist into the face of the zombie in front of him. The zombie's teeth shatter like ice under the blow, it's jaw cracks which causes it's mouth to hang open. The zombie's shriveled blackened tongue wiggles free of it's base and drops to the ground lifeless. The spike of the gauntlet on the back of Tharhack's middle knuckle pierces the back of the zombie's throat, and emerges out the other side of it's neck. Unfazed the zombie pounds Tharhack with a right haymaker, shaking loose some cobwebs in Tharhack's head. The first zombie that Gothmog set on fire drops to the ground in it's own pyre dead again. Gothmog directs the sphere on to the next zombie, setting the rags it has for clothes on fire. The zombie remains focused on it's task and doesn't slow at all. It's desiccated body offers no resistance to the flame, as it seeks out every place on the zombie with which to spawn itself. The zombie quickly becomes a walking pillar of fire heading for Gothmog. Tharhack takes a quick look around the battleground, and determines he'll have to move up closer to Gothmog if he wants to affect as many zombies as he can with his divine power. Realizing he'll never make by the time the flaming zombie reaches Gothmog, Tharhack slams his spiked gauntlet into the side of the head of the toothless zombie he just hit. This time the zombie's head is ripped from it's neck, and adheres to the spikes on Tharhack's gauntlet. With the that blow the zombie's body collapses, and Tharhack moves up towards Gothmog, shaking the zombie's head off his gauntlet. Gothmog's flaming sphere winks out of existence just as the flaming zombie gets within five feet of Gothmog. The heat from the blaze warms the air and Gothmog, melts the snow around the zombie's feet, and send the smell of rotten hair into the air. Gothmog's hands part as the sphere dissipates, and they reach up and over his head, grab the hilt of his greatsword, and cleave the burning corpse in two. Gothmog then steps over the smoldering husk, and prepares to meet the advancing remaining zombies. Tharhack reaches the cleaved zombie, and pulling his greatsword from his back he utters the words to drive back the zombies. souls of the dead I beseech thee return to your graves I offer you release from your imprisoned existence look upon the light and feel Kord's freedom ask him for the strength to make the journey you will not be denied Divine power falls upon Tharhack as his sword glows a bright blue-ish white. The zombie in front of Gothmog screams as it's body disintegrates and blows away on the back on the wind. The next two zombies turn to flee from the light. The rest of the zombies are unaffected. Thinking he can do better than that, Tharhack invokes Kord's blessing of destiny. Tharhack recalls the divine power to his body. The disintegrated zombie reforms where it stood exactly as it was. Tharhack then refocuses and send out the divine power again. This time the nearest three zombie are obliterated while the next one in line after those, brings it's arm up to it's eyes and turns away from the light of Kord's holy symbol. Gothmog looks on impressed with Tharhack's power. "TharHACK teach Gothmog new power." Gothmog half asks, half pleads "My power comes from within, maybe someday you'll allow my to help you find yours." Tharhack responds "For now, I think we need to head to the tower as quickly as possible." Gothmog agrees and follows Tharhack down the side of the hill, as they near the bottom of the hill, a loud groaning sound echoes from behind them. Tharhack and Gothmog turn to see what's following them, and see the whole side of the hill begin to slide away. Like an avalanche of dirt, the side of the hill peels away the snow, grass and dirt to reveal dozens of corpses. The flood of debris stops at Tharhack's feet, he looks up at the exposed hillside and like so many maggots on rotten flesh, the corpse twitch and jerk to life, pulling themselves up out of the earth. "What do now TharHACK?" Gothmog asks "Pray" came Tharhack's response [/QUOTE]
