Draziw does not waste time, and follows Crane as fast as he can. With a gesture he moves the light farther south, into the room.

When he sees the creatures he spokes an arcane word and a small spark is created on the surface of his orb. Draziw brings it to his head and blows it away with a smile.

When the spark reaches the undead it explodes in a burst of fire, pushing them from their feet.

[sournote103]

Hearing the sounds of battle, Verin rushed to his allies' aid. As soon as he turned the corner into the hallway, it was clear that the creatures ahead were undead (and who would know better than one who was undead himself?) He groaned under his breath, knowing full well that his life-draining attacks would have little effect on those who were already dead.

Draziw moves out into the opening to the room containing the zombies and moves his light spell in amongst them before creating a blast of fire that drops three of the creatures to the ground, one of which ceases to move.

Verin then rushes forward as well but his attack is unable to penetrate the mind of the animated dead.

Three of the corpses rush forward and slam into Crane, drawing blood from his body.

[Great Dane]

Following his allies into the entryway in which they ran, Reeve takes a moment to peer down some of the walkways.

Spoiler

Looking down the hallways near me and if I need a perception: (1d20)[7]

Rounding the corner he saw a few fallen shambled corpses at the feet of his allies and a very bloodied monk. What have you gotten yourself into!? he exclaims as he thrusts divine waves of energy against his ally, washing him in a healing-infused presence. He then took a stab at one of the undead encroaching upon his friends in the hopes that striking true would bolster them further.

Sgian-dubh, Son of Stolas

Sgian sneaks along the walls edge and peers around the corner, seeing the zombies everywhere. He shakes his head at the sight of the rest of the party, They get in so much trouble, and we have barely stepped into this place. Pointing his rod at a zombie, he starts to fire.

Verin steps forward into the room but is unable to draw the zombie to him. Reeve follows him into the room but is able to strike the undead creature causing bits of its decaying flesh to slough off. Sgian-dubh advances as well, but remains behind the others to attack, missing as well.

The two zombies are finally able to close with the heros. The first slams into Reeve, managing to stagger him slightly. The second reaches out with its arms to enfold Crane within its grasp.

Crane twist to the side, forcing the zombie's arm into an untenable position; he spins further and drops, bringing the zombie's hand behind it. As the monk's elbow strikes back of the beast's skull, the hold is suddenly reversed, and Crane as the zombie in a grab rather than the other way around.

Crane quickly seperates the head from the shoulders of the zombie in his grasp before lunging across to drop the other into a heap of rotted flesh.

With the zombies defeated, the heroes look back to the entrance to check on Roderick only to see that he is gone. It appears that during the confusion of the fight, he fled back up the stairs.

ZR: Pieces of rotting flesh hang from these shambling forms. Tears in their flesh reveal exposed bone.
Z: Although these creatures are obviously dead, they shamble forward with supernatural strength and purpose. Their bulky forms lumber with menace, and ravenous hunger glints in their vacant eyes.

Crane, those fists are lethal! jokes Reeve as he wipes the zombie-goo from the blade of his greatspear.

Everyone, let's stick close and explore. My ears suggest we'll be walking for a while -- the clamor of battle still echoes through the hallways. Those that can see in this infernal darkness are out front. Crane and I will be right behind you. If you spot something, fall back!

Take nothing for granted here -- we've seen the goblins spring traps on us already. There's no telling what else we'll find.

Verin volunteered to scout ahead slightly, taking advantage of his sharp senses, his ability to see in total darkness, and his natural stealth.
