CH. 08 - Once More With Feeling

[Bishgada]

Senllip whistles along the way... "You know... we are doin a favor for these undead. Their poor soul is stuck between our world and the after life, bound by evil for to do it's bidding. Similar to those monster frogs in a way. And both types are not even aware they are abused. So keep in mind that we help both the poor soles and the people of the city in the same time!" he says cheerfuly.

[Daos]

Travel through the city is largely uneventful.  With the slaadi gone, and most of the undead, as well, the city is a bit more safer.  A number of people are reclaiming surrounding areas, working to rebuild them.

They approach the graveyard from the south and can see most of it from the top of a hill there.  Right now, as it is daylight, there seems to be little activity.  Only a handful of zombies mill about aimlessly.

[HorizonsDream]

"Hmm, I'm not really sure I see the connection you are making Senllip." Kalana says. "But there only seem to be a handful down there right now."

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax shakes his head not getting the connection either. "Eh, yeah I dun get tha connection either. Let's us hope those we see are all that remain."

[Daos]

"I doubt this is all there is," Auli'i says.  "If the job were that easy, they wouldn't have needed to send us in.  It's daylight, so most are probably concealed in one of those mausoleums."

[HorizonsDream]

"Well, the only way we are going to find out is to go down there," Kalana says. "We can take out the ones that are out right now, one or two at a time without too much problem providing we don't get overwhelmed."

[Bishgada]

"You can ask the zombies about the connection." Senllip grins and draws his sword. "Let's go and save the poor creatures."

====================================================
(OOC: Before setting out and together with the assumption that we got free healings from the priests. I'd like to have at least 3 flasks for each person in the group of holy water which I also assume we got for free.
Is it OK? We mentioned it few times in early posts.)

[HorizonsDream]

Kalana leads the group down to the graveyard. She has a bad feeling that the moment that she steps into the graveyard, a lot more undead are going to show up, so she tries to lure the first zombie closer to the entrance before attacking it.

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax follows Kalana hands at the ready near his pistols. 

[Daos]

The party descends the hill and makes their way down the road, toward the graveyard.  Just as they reach the threshold of the gate, the nearest zombie (1) sees them, stops what it's doing, and points, making a terrible screeching sound.  The other zombies all hear and stop and do the same thing.  Then they begin moving to attack.

"I had a feeling that was going to happen," Kalana says with a sigh. She takes aim with her crossbow at the nearest zombie.

Brax draws his pistols and will aim and shoot at the zombie that called the others only when he has a clear shot and is within range.

"Wait. Let's first shoot them from afar and then get to melee." Senllip says as he draws his staff sling and shoot the closest zombie.

Auli'i is the first to act, and slings a stone toward the nearest zombie, but misses.  Brax fires both of his pistols.  The first one hits the zombie in the shoulder, blowing out a solid chunk of flesh.  The second shot goes right between its eyes, bringing it down for good.

Kalana uses her crossbow to fire at the next nearest one, but misses.  Senllip uses his staff-sling and manages to hit the same zombie with it.

The four remaining zombies move closer toward the party.  At the same time, five more spill out from the mausoleum to join their undead allies.
