Shy?   DAMMIT!”   Jasyne snarls.    He looks at the angles of the floor and wall and times it when Screecha brings her head up with more undead.  He leaps against the wall and through the hole in the floor.    As he lands, new undead zombies arrive-   zombie frost giants!!!!!“We really lack discipline.” He comments as he draws out his sword.   Too many zombies are in arms reach of him and the kreen to use the bow.It doesn’t take long for the numbers to dwindle between the multi-armed kreen, the Kensai’s sword and the bobbing dinosaur to clear some space.   Jasyne switches back to his bow and releases hell onto the zombies.   Rainbow streaks of magical energy shot by the kreen as he fires into the zombie horde.  “klik-klik- ohhhhh…..magic klik.”The one zombie giant catches on fire and falls.  It creates a barrier that slows down the other zombies.  This makes it extremely easy for the kreen finish off the undead.Jasyne looks at the ground and tries to figure out what is going on now.   Many of these zombies also carried bundles and possible tools used by artificers and mages.   Arcanis is quick to search through the bundles.  “Where is Shy-Anne?” demands Jasyne.</blockquote>
