Zombies were like goblins or dwarves–they learned very slowly, regrouping from defeat after defeat, attached to the habit of attacking again. Saeth threw herself through the doorway after the fleeing creatures, determined to finish the job this time rather than wait for that second attack.
Nicolai sprinted after the elf and thought “Damnable elf. She’ll get us all killed running off like that, who knows what kind of ambush or trap could have been lain here. Still if we’re all alive and able, the better chance we have of all getting out of here.”
“Maruc, watch over the mage. I am off to keep the Elf in one piece.” Then Feldard too took off towards the doorway, following the Elf and Nicolai.
As the zombies continued their march away from the cleric, the fighting spilled out into the hall beyond the doorway. Feldard, Saeth and Nicolai followed them.

Maruc turned to Miklos, “Interesting tactics. Shall we leave them to get out numbered or shall we follow them?”

“I don’t know Maruc they seem quite enthusiastic. It’d be a shame to miss their heroics.” Miklos replied.

“Oh, you think they’ll be returning any minute then?”
January 29, 2007 at 7:20 pm
“I think so let me check.”
Miklos went to the doorway. He winced. Then turned back to Maruc.
“It’s pretty messy out there. Oh look an ear.”

“Wow let me see. Eugh.”

“Nice Miklos, now will you come back here before you atract attention to yourself.”

“Hmm I think they’ll need some clerical help soon, maby a patch up job.” Miklos ducked back as a flying wrist arced over him .”Good shot Feldard!”

“Miklos look at the state of you, you’re covered in blood.”
January 29, 2007 at 7:25 pm
“At least its theirs.”
January 29, 2007 at 7:26 pm
“Actually, I think they do need your help Maruc.” Miklos wiped the gore from his face.

“Oh all right.” Maruc pulled his flail out and marched into the fray. “Havachyou you undead, err Halfling!” Maruc brought his Flail down on the unfortunate demihuman.

(lol)
Once the undead were dealt with, Feldard moved on down the hallway to ensure that the battle hadn’t attracted attention from others.

Nicolai returns to where he left his bow, and then follows Feldard down the corridor to have a check for traps and secret doors.
“I’ve a feeling we’re not going to get out of here before night fall.”
