    Genevieve glares as the wave of fear washes over her.

    I should be the one inspiring the fear, damn it! Steadying herself, she takes a few savage strikes with her rapier.

    (1d20+2)[21] for my will save. If it fails, then treat this attack roll as one less... Rapier Strike! (1d20+5)[12] vs AC. Then (1d6+1)[5] damage if it hits...

    Genevieve lunges at one of the diminutive attackers, but it dances back out of the her reach... and spits itself on the outstretched swords of Huril and one of the miners.

    Jon charges towards the remaining svirfneblin warrior, buts stops short as it whips around a wicked bronze flail and batters the paladin through his leathers.

    The sheriff responds with another shot from her pepperbox, grazing the wicked creature's shoulder blades.

    Meanwhile, another defender brings his blade down on a zombie, nearly slicing it in half. Before he can celebrate his smll victory, he grabs at his eyes and screams in terror, blinded by the magics of the nearby svirfneblin cleric. As he gropes blindingly with his sword, another zombie falls upon him with a crushing blow.

    Huril's and Genevieve's blade converge on the surrounded svirfneblin, slipping through chinks on either side of is torso and piercing both lungs. The warrior is down almost before he registers the hits, hacking weakly with clear the blood rising in his lungs.

    The nearby defender dodges a swing from his undead opponent, then lays open the thing's thigh with a savage swing.

    Jon shakes the stars from his head and jumps back into the fray, his sword unerringly seeking the zombie's neck. The corpse--no longer animated--falls to the ground in two pieces.

    The Svirfneblin caster wheels on Huril as Mika backs out of range, but its bronze flail catches only the dusty earth as the skilled swordsman dances aside. The Sheriff's bullets and Mika's bolt of electricity converge on the enemy, but the wounds seem only superficial.

    Genevieve delievers the finishing blow to the shaky zombie, while Jon distracts the remaining svirfneblin long enough to Huril's scimitar to cut deep into its hamstring. The runty caster stumbles, giving the sheriff, now circling south, a clear shot at its forehead. She doesn't miss,

    As you quickly stri the bodies, with an eye out for potential magic items, the Sheriff describes what has happened. "A wave of them swarming out of the hills, mostly corpses with a few of the little demons mixed in. The dozen or so who didn't turn tail took shelter in the walled corral. They spent a few minutes whittlin' us down, but then the leader--at least I think it was the leader, she wore black robes and never got close to the fightin'--yelled something in that rumble tongue and left with most of the deaders."

    As the last foe falls, Jon slumps visibly. He slowly wipes his blade on his sash before sheathing it. "This woman in black, was she one of the gnome-like ones, or did she appear human-sized?"

    "Mika, if I could have use of your wand I would see to our wounds. Then we can Find Tyr and make certain there are no zombies left in the town."

    Mika is split between searching for the undead and taking a rest. We might be able to stop them before they get away...But I'm almost out of magic and Jon is out of his healing...why did we ever come here. Mika gives a sign "Yeah...we should take care of this.

    The Sheriff and the remaining able-bodied miner head for the docks with you (the blinded miner, of no more use in combat, is hidden in the stalls of the corral and told to wait out the battle).

    You hurry through the town, now abandoned and ransacked, without meeting resistance. You see why as you near your destination, a ragged semi-circle of zombies--well over a hundred of them--have the settlement's residents pushed up against the docks. A ring of defenders--Tyr among them--has positioned themselves around the mob, but it looks like battle has yet to commence. Your veteran eyes can see that the zombies and defenders are evenly matched, and even a small turn of fortune could bring victory to either side.

    Off to the side, you hear the low drone of chanting in the svirfneblins' odd tongue.

    You can see them in the distance, and may join them if you wish; the zombies have you surrounded, but there are gaps in their line.
