Delve the 8th

[Makofan]

You open the door, and are taken aback to find six animated, rotting corpses wandering aimlessly inside the room. As one, they turn to face you

MECHANICS
Surprise: Party 5, zombies 5 - both surprised

[merias]

Aldbane presents his holy symbol. "Begone, in the name of Soldra!"

[Makofan]

The zombies stumble away from the party, hiding in the back corner of the room. The room itself has a bed and a chest of drawers

[merias]

"They won't bother us for a while," Aldbane says. He'll visually examine the chest of drawers for signs of anything unusual or trap-like, and search inside it if it seems safe to do so.

[acodispo]

Wiglaff instructs his men-at-arms to be ready to fight if the zombies show signs of attacking. Meanwhile, Wiglaff himself will keep the door open & guard the hallway.

[kipper]

Maloof, from a safe distance, lies down on the floor so that he is able to see under the bed.

[Makofan]

Maloof sees a wooden case underneath the bed. A quick rifling through the dresser brings up some clothes but nothing else. The zombies are at bay - for now

[kipper]

Maloof crawls forward so that he is able to reach the case. He slides it out from under the bed. He attempts to lift it up, if it seems possible, thinking that it would be safer to investigate it out in the hall after we close the door back up on the Zombies.

(I assume there are no other exits from the room?)

[merias]

Aldbane will follow Maloof out once he gets the case.

[Makofan]

Maloof secures the case, and then the party exits back into the corridor
