Sorry for the late answer, I had a couple of rough days.
Two questions:
1. So, is Thuskar still with us or did he went back to Nichole?
2. Are there "only" that dozen of zombies? I'm not too keen on splitting the party to be honest, especially in our current situation (Giunona without her second level spell slots, and Thuskar missing/at low hps)..and it would probably be more efficient to just ignore/kill them tbh (I mean we're on horseback and they..well, are zombies). But maybe you wanted less npc to control? ;_; I don't want to give you an excessive burden..maybe two of them could stay behind, along with U&T (which frankly have been pretty useless)?

Thuskar is still with you; you all just arrived in town, so he hasn't had time to leave yet.
Only a dozen have emerged so far, but keep in mind if they are waking up early, this whole area will be swarming very soon.
(And yeah, nine NPCs is a pretty big burden. One of them doesn't even have a name or any stats; so I'd need to create one from whole cloth and convert the other three to 5E to even use them in a battle, so I thought this would be a quick way around that.)

Alright, I stayed up all night and called into work, but I managed to stat out all four of the Company of the Silver Sword. So I've edited my last post so they don't ride off, and we can move forward from there. However, I've increased the CR of all the remaining battles to compensate for such a massive party, and each round of combat will probably take a week now, but I'm still holding out hope the dice will favor me enough to thin out their numbers a bit.

Just to be sure I understood correctly, it's Juju 1 and Juju 2 that have bows, correct?

Correct, the ones on the stairs (J1 and J2).

I have another, cheeky, question... Can I use Shillelagh on my torch? 👀

The spell description says it only works on a staff or club, and a torch is neither. I'd allow it, but on the condition that it still only deals 1 damage (plus your WIS modifier) like a regular torch would.

That's reasonable, okay. I'll go back to my loyal staff then ;;

Okay, here's what I'm thinking. A combat post normally takes anywhere from 1-2 hours to write. A combat post with nine NPCs and twelve enemies will probably take even longer than that.
Rather than waiting for a point in the week where I have a solid few hours to sit down and type the whole thing out at once, I'm thinking I'll post it piecemeal, maybe over a couple of days, whenever I have free time. So the 'Round X is in progress, check back later' post will be up for a day or two, instead of a few hours. And when I'm finally done, I'll post in the OOC thread so you'll know. How does that sound? I feel like this way I can get the combat posts up sooner than if I wait until I have enough free time to write them up all in one go.
