CH. 08 - Once More With Feeling

Brax takes aim at what he determines the next closest zombie and fires with both pistols. (#3)

"Here they come," says Auli'i.  She slings another stone and manages to cave in the skull of one of the zombies.

However, it happens to be the very zombie that Kalana, Brax and Senllip were all aiming at.  So they instead turn to another one.  Kalana hits the zombie with a bolt, which slams into the zombie's heart.  While a fatal blow for a living creature, it barely hurts the zombie at all.  Brax fires both pistols.  The first shot is too wide--the creature is too far away for him to see the whites of its eyes.  The second shot causes his pistol to backfire.  Possibly the worst time for this to happen.  He can fix the weapon later, but as the zombies continue approaching, there's just no time now.  He can continue to use it, but it won't work quite as right now.  Finally, Senllip tries to sling another stone, but the centripetal force gets away from him, and he accidentally drops the weapon in the process.

In the second, smaller mausoleum on the west side of the graveyard, five more zombies emerge.

Brax holsters the pistol that needs attention for later, and reloads his primary one and takes aim at the next one nearest the open gate, after sidestepping for a better shot. (#4)

Auli'i slings another stone, beaning a zombie pretty hard in the head with it.  Brax holsters his broken pistol, and fires with his second, hitting a nearby zombie in the chest.  Drawing her blades, Kalana moves forward and decapitates one zombie and nearly does a second one, but it manages to hang on and continue fighting, even with its head lolling to the side.

While Senllip retrieves his weapon, five more zombies emerge from the northern mausoleum.  The other zombies continue to march toward the party.

Kalana moves in to finish zombie 4. If she does, she'll continue her attack on zombie 5. "We need someone to try to control this crowd!" She calls out. Otherwise, she was going to be overrun with zombies.

"We need someone to try to control this crowd!"

Auli'i takes out another zombie with her final sling stone.  "I can try to turn a few, but I only get one chance at it."

"I could try conjuring a dust devil by one of the swarms; it might distract them for a little bit," Bayla offers.

"I still have these holy water vials, too!" Senllip adds.  He slings two more stones at an oncoming zombie, but they are both glancing blows.

Kalana easily skewers a zombie with one blade, and Brax moves in closer and shoots another between the eyes.  As the first swarm approaches, one goes after Brax and two go after Kalana, but neither can get past their defenses.  Kalana retaliates with her elven sword, taking off the offending zombie's left arm.

At that point, five more zombies emerge from both mausoleums.

Brax uses his dagger pistol like a dagger and draws out his masterwork dagger and attacks the zombie.

"Hold off on turning them until more of them show up," Kalana says as she attacks zombie six. "Senllip, turn your attention to the zombie coming from the right. Auli'i, do what you can in melee with the zombie on the right," she says. "Bayla, if there are any coming form the left, if you think your dust devil thing will distract them, then do it."

Senllip put back his sling and draws his sabre. "OK. I'll guard your right. You keep smashing the front. If we can't crowd control them we can try to out run them and only fight the front line at a time. Or better yet, run to a position that can bottleneck their movement. Maybe one of the Mausoleums?"

Brax stabs his daggers at the zombie before him, but is unable to do any real damage with them.  Likewise, Auli'i grabs her club and Senllip his sabre, and the two engage the zombie coming from the east, but don't have any better luck than Brax did.

Kalana decapitates another zombie, and takes the arm off a second one.  Bayla conjures up a dust devil--a sort of miniature air elemental in the shape of a small tornado, that blocks off the swarm approaching from the west.

No more zombies emerge from either mausoleum, but something else does from one of them.  It, at first glance, looks like a regular zombie.  But this one seems more intact and more...aware.  She (based on build, it appears to have once been a she, anyway) wears regal looking clothing and a tiara, along with some other jewelry.  She grins darkly and gestures here and there, as if somehow magically directing the zombie forces.
