    Eldon

    Eldon tucks the items inside his vest. "Now, let's see what aid we can administer to the folks up ahead." The halfling walks toward the sounds of battle at an accelerated pace. Bob follows, quietly clacking behind.

    Seeing the grim work that Bob is able to do, and seeing that it in fact brought them something intriguing from the bodies torn pockets he nodded.

    "Indeed. Your bony friend here does seem to come into some use. Let us find what awaits us ahead."

    With that he patted Ancho on the shoulder.

    "I fear you may be right about the growing dark my friend. Who knows what else may crawl out of the mists to attempt on our lives. Hopefully some allies lay ahead."

    He set his jaw in a firm line as he headed off after Eldon, making sure that Ancho and Xaxil were close behind.

    Ancho Peppers

    As Ralston walked into the darkness following Eldon, Ancho clutches the front of his tunic. Rubbing his finger and thumb together, he finds the necklace hanging there and says a silent prayer to the heavens for protection from his most hated foes. He then moves on after his companions, eyes alert and darting for any movement around them.

    Through the mist you see a human female clad in shining fullplate armor. She swings her longsword at the zombies with great zeal, while calling out for help from The Light. "Lathander, help me lay these vile creatures to rest!"

    Ralston's prayer sheds its divine light upon the undead, who briefly reel from its effects. The zombies continue swarming on Xaxil. He blocks and evades the incoming attacks with grace. Flanking with the stranger, they manage to take down one of the zombies with ease. Eldon's spell scorches three of the zombies, completely blackening their skin. Ancho's arrows strike Z2 who now seems so heavily damaged, its hard to imagine how he is holding together.

    A menacing creature stands atop the far barrier and eyes the battle in the town square. He points to the ground, and leaps from the barrier, before beginning to plod toward Xaxil and the female Warrior.

    Barnaby continues with the intro to his song.

    Cast Command Undead on Z3. No save for unintelligent undead.

    As Eldon begins channeling the necromantic powers necessary to cast the spell his eyes roll back into his head so that only the whites are visible. His hair begins blowing about his face, tossed around by a breeze that no one else feels. The arcane words to the spell begin as an otherworldly whisper but growing into an ever increasing possessed sounding shriek as he completes the spell. In a booming demonic growl he commands the zombie to "Attack the creature behind you!" while pointing at the menacing creature approaching from the western barricade.

    Ralston batters the zombie in front of him, crushing bones with each blow. The combined efforts of Xaxil and the female warrior strikes down one zombie and damages another. A strike from Bob's maul is enough to finish it off. Ancho fires two arrows striking and weakening another zombie. Eldon commands the zombie to attack the unknown monster. It plods toward the creature, who turns its attention to the zombie. It swings its fist in a wide overhead arc, narrowly missing the zombie and slamming clear into the ground.

    One of the remaining zombies strikes Xaxil.

    Eldon moves to S8. Bob moves to T9. The halfling begins casting another spell. His countenance is again darkened as his voice takes on an other-worldly quality. As the spell finishes he shouts "MANETE!" in an echoing voice that sounds much larger than his small frame would belie. Z7 and Z8 cease their shuffling movements and appear frozen in time and space. "Mr. Peppers, concentrate your attacks upon the zombie to the east. The ones coming from the north shall remain frozen until they are attacked or take damage."

    Eldon's spell causes two of the zombies to stop dead in their tracks. They simply stand there with their arms at their sides, and their mouths gaped wide open. Ancho moves to more advantageous position, attracting the attention of one of the zombies, but artfully dodging its blows. Ralston and Xaxil both land well placed blows on their respective targets, and watch each of them fall to the ground and cease moving.

    The moment the party is no longer threatened by zombies, the armor clad female races toward the new monster. The creature remains focused on the zombie. With another wide overhead arc, it slams the zombie with a hammerfist, driving it into the ground and out of sight beyond the mist covered cobblestone. The female warrior yells "What manner of blasphemous vile monstrosity is this? By the light of Lathander and the Lightbringers of Shadowdale I will smite thee!"

    "...there is no retreat that option's far and away..."

    Ralston's attack is unable to find a weak point on the creature's hide.

    Xaxil calls upon the vengeance of Kelemvor to destroy the undead abomination and release its soul to the Fugue Plane. Black ichor immediately begins to seep from its eyes, ears, and nose as it turns its rage toward Xaxil. It raises both hands high about its head and slams them down with all its might. Xaxil is hit, but manages not to be pounded into the ground.

They continue to plod forward unphased, attempting to close on Eldon.
