[QUOTE="Fredrik Svanberg, post: 4831622, member: 12996"] Finally - Gröten! Once a logging site that has grown into a permanent dwelling for about three dozen families, the village sits in a large clearing next to the river. Simple sharpened poles and a low ditch is all that protects about 30 small houses and a church on a hill near the center. The low, miserable houses are almost buried. Nothing and nobody has disturbed the snow for what seems like days. As the crusaders come closer they notice what looks like a freshly dug shallow grave. A bloated corpse sits at the edge, chewing on something. As the putrescent zombie sees fresh meat it burps and gurgles and four more dead people rise slowly from the grave. Hands reach up from the frozen dirt and start groping around for living flesh. None of our heroes want to end up near those hands but the zombies lurch forward intent on making that horrible nightmare come true. Inzidiouz blasts the zombies and the field of undead arms with his icy breath. A few of the hands freeze and break off but new arms take their place. A seemingly endless supply of dead bodies crawl under the thin layer of dirt. The bloated corpse at the far end of the grave stands up and vomits a gob of black, rotten slime into his hand and flings it with deadly accuracy at the dragonborn. It hits him square in the chest and the deadly chill of necrotic energy saps his strength. Kurilie screams. The idea of getting hit by something that disgusting fills her with elven rage and she runs around the grave to confront the source of uncleanness. While the elf warrior fights the vomiting horror, Ingrid and Inzidiouz slowly but surely cut heads and arms off of the other four zombies. Two more zombies crawl out of the ground and close in on Kurilie, who is still fighting the corrupted corpse. She stabs its bloated abdomen but the wounds are immediately filled with goo bubbling out from its festering innards, and seal up faster than she can open them. However, when the heroes gang up on the remaining undead, victory is almost inevitable. After washing off with some snow, they move past the primitive defensive works and into the village. (It seems obvious now but the corruption corpse should have been standing in the middle of the animated grave instead of behind it. Live and learn.) [/QUOTE]
