The remaining juju takes out the last farmer, and now all that remain guarding the front door are Giunona and Miles, the latter which will probably go down if hit by a light breeze at this point. He makes a valiant effort to stay on his feet, ready to fight until the bitter and gruesome end. He and Giunona both strike at the juju with blows strong enough to kill a mortal man, but the juju takes them in stride.
Then, suddenly, it just...stops. In fact, all of the zombies seem to freeze in place. The screaming, the shouting, all die down as the locals look around in confusion. This pause only lasts a couple of breaths, and then the zombies move again. Not to attack, but to leave. En mass, the entire horde of them just simply turn around and walk away, crawling back through the windows or out the broken door. They ignore anyone they pass, making a deliberate beeline toward the graveyard.
Before Giunona can process any of this, a flash of light hits her face from the east. Instinctively putting a hand up to shield her eyes, she turns and sees out one of the broken windows that the sun is rising. Dawn has arrived.

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 8/23 - AC: 18 - CD: 0/1 - Inspiration: No - Condition: Shillelagh (1 round left) Giunona falls to her knees, exhausted but grateful for that blessed ray of light. That cursed night was finally over. The momentary relief was interrupted quite abrutply by the realization that she was surrounded by the bodies of her fallen allies. The dwarf immediately rises to her feet and try to aid the farmers, if any were still alive.

Likewise, once the shock of what just happened wears off, everyone else jumps into action, too--helping the wounded, keeping an eye out in case the zombies return, etc. Despite the palpable sense of relief flooding the church, there is still an undercurrent of anxiety. If the only reason the zombies withdrew was the light of day, then they may return come sunset. At least now, the villagers will be ready. But until someone is able to find out what is causing this and how to stop it, the humble village of Pommeville may soon be destroyed for good.

End of Chapter One!
