Daos glances at the nobles, who appear to be fast asleep. He turns back to the skeletons, before hearing a man clear his throat. Behind him stands a human man in mage's robes, with unwashed dark hair and dark circles under his eyes. He is flanked by five zombies--three wear tattered mage robes, while the other two wear the armor of Elshodi's Chosen, the paladin order in nearby Writing.
Meine and Valerie ready their weapons, but the man waves them off.
"I have no reason to harm you--unless you give me one," he sneers. He points at Daos and demands, "Your name, if you please."

"Daos Soulstaff," Daos answers. "Who are you, and what do you want?"

The man appears quite pleased with this answer. and mutters to himself (or his undead), "Yes, he does resemble her..."
Out loud, he declares, "I? I am Everett Simpson, and I want your death! Yes, you specifically!"
Valerie gestures with her bow, ready to strike as soon as she sees a signal.

"I have no idea who you are," Daos says. "And therefore have no argument with you. But if you think you can take my life easily, you are mistaken." And with that, he drops a Snilloc’s Snowball Swarm spell on Simpson and any zombies that are in range of it. This serves as a signal for the others to attack, as well.

Daos summons a flurry of snowballs, which smack into the necromancer and his minions. Valerie tries to assist with a well-placed arrow, but she pulls her bowstring too far back and it snaps, smacking her in the face. She fumbles through her pockets to find a spare and begins to attach it to her weapon. Meine, meanwhile, lunges forward with her sword, but Simpsons ducks back and attacks her with dark energy, causing her to scream in pain as his own wounds knit themselves back together.
"You may not know me, but I know you," he tells Daos as his zombies swarm the princess. "Does the name 'Sombra Moonshadow' mean anything to you?!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Daos casts Snilloc's Snowball Swarm, dealing 10 damage to Simpson and the 5 zombies. Valerie attacks Simpson with her bow. Critical failure! Her bowstring snaps. Meine attacks Simpson with her longsword and misses. Simpson casts Vampiric Touch on Meine, hitting for 11 damage. He heals 5 damage. The Zombies all attack Meine. 1 hits for 4 damage.

"Qurrak, Meine needs help!" Daos calls to the minotaur. He moves over to stand by the prisoners, both to protect them but also to ensure they don't try and flee.
Daos' eyes widen and his already pale skin somehow grows paler. "No...no, how did she find me?" Gritting his teeth, he turns his attention to Simpson, rage burning in his eyes. "If you work for her, then your life is already forfeit!" Drawing all of his power to his fingertips, Daos unleashes a barrage of magical purple arrows at the necromancer, throwing everything he has at him.

"Ha! You are just as she described you!" Everett sneers. His sneers turn to pained groans as all of Daos' magic missiles strike him at once. Valerie, having successfully strung up her bow, strikes him between the ribs as Meine distracts him. The Princess slices at his right arm, cutting deep into his flesh, and Qurrak's savage horn attack knocks him the ground, bleeding profusely.
As Daos maneuvers to where the nobles sleep, the noise causes the Count to stir awake.
"Hmm? What is making all that--SWEET MERCIFUL ELSHODI ARE THOSE ZOMBIES?!" he screams.
The zombies, without further instruction from their master, continue to follow their last order--attack Meine. Qurrak protects her from a particularly powerful blow, but he can only weaken the attack, instead of blocking it. Three of the zombies are able to claw through her armor, leaving her badly injured.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Daos casts Magic Missile on Simpson, dealing 17 damage. Valerie Sneak Attacks Simpson, dealing 13 damage. Meine hits Simpson with her longsword, dealing 7 damage. Qurrak hits Simpson with his horns, dealing 15 damage. He falls! The Zombies attack Meine. 2 hit for 4 damage each, and 1 crits for 8.

"Stay calm, and don't move," Daos informs Lenkinshire. "We have it under control." He blasts one of the zombies with more magic missiles.

Lenkinshire does his best to sit still and avoid screaming in fear as Daos sends a blast of magic missiles at one of the zombies, causing it to fall limp on the ground, its reanimation ended. Valerie attempts to strike one of the zombies, but she trembles as she looses the arrow, and misses by a mile.
"Don't worry about me, guys," Meine grunts, calling upon a reserve of energy. "I look worse than I feel!" With her renewed strength, she turns around and cleaves the head off of one of the zombies. But the remaining three claw at her armor, striking at vulnerable spots. She ends up more injured than she was before--on the brink of a mortal wound.
"Uh, Qurrak, I'm gonna need you to distract them, now," Meine gasps, preparing to escape the horde.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Daos casts Magic Missile on a Zombie, dealing 12 damage and killing(?) it. Valerie attacks a Zombie and misses. Meine uses Second Wind and restores 11 HP. She then crits a zombie for 14 damage, killing(?) it. The Zombies attack Meine. 1 hits for 4 damage, another crits for 8.

"Qurrak, help her!" Daos calls, before unleashing another barrage of missiles at another zombie.

Daos fires another burst of magic missiles at a zombie, but his attack fails to fell the monster. Valerie, hands shaking, looses an arrow at one of the zombies. It's a terrible shot, but the zombie makes no effort to dodge it. It crumples to the ground, apparently defeated--but necromantic energy surges through it, and it rises to its feet.
Qurrak, responding to Daos and Meine, stands tall, shields raised, to act as a barrier to the zombies chasing the Princess. They bump into him as Meine slides under his legs, and can only shamble around the Minotaur as Meine retreats to the outskirts of the fire's light.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Daos casts Magic Missile on a Zombie, dealing 9 damage. Valerie Sneak Attacks a Zombie for 11 damage, which it survives thanks to Undead Fortitude. Meine disengages and moves 30 ft away from the zombies. The Zombies shamble 5 ft into Qurrak, then 15 ft towards Meine.

Now that Meine is in relative safety, Qurrak go again on the offence, roar, as he try to crush his hornded head into the moving corpses.

Daos mutters another incantation, and unleashes another barrage of missiles. This time, though, he targets one missile at each remaining zombie.

Daos fires another three-missile burst of magic, but even the weak ones shrug off the assault. Valerie and Qurrak eviscerate two of the zombies, but Meine's attempt to confuse the last one by doubling back to the campfire only makes it reach her faster.
"Screw it," she mutters under her breath, before shouting, "Hey, Lenkinshire! Distract it!" Panicking, the Count kicks the undead creature in the shins, distracting it for the second it takes for Meine to cleave its head off. It slumps to the ground, returned to death. Only the docile skeletons, and the barely breathing body of Everett Simpson remain.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Daos casts Magic Missile, dealing 4, 3, and 3 damage to the remaining Zombies. Two survive thanks to Undead Fortitude. Valerie hits a Zombie with her bow, dealing 9 damage and killing(?) it. Qurrak attacks a Zombie with his horns, dealing 14 damage and killing(?) it. Meine, Helped by Count Lenkinshire, crits the last Zombie for 7 damage, killing(?) it. END COMBAT!
