Josiane continues chanting while eyeing the new enemy shambling up from below. Does this look to be one of the zombies previously dispatched by Dorgan and Gustave, or is it a brand-new play-mate?

He burns it with his oil!

Ulric looks into the cleansed chamber and laughs. Upon hearing Olaf's words he laughs even louder.

"All clear at this end," Ulric calls back to Olaf. "What do you see down there?"

Ulric slaps Dieter on the back, still giddy from witnessing the effects of his sorcery.

"Well done Dieter, now let's make sure nothing is left to block our escape."

Yes, Dieter will sacrifice his shield.

He's heard stories of these things carrying disease...

Bah... can someone remind Desmond/Mondes to clean his 1hp wound very thoroughly when we get back to the manse?

Desmond breathes a sigh of relief.

But which way to head? Further away from the group? Or back the way we came?

Any reason why we should press on? That is more important than NOT SPLITTING UP THE GROUP? [img]images/smiley/grin.png[/img]

"Just another crypt." Olaf calls back, "Wibert has gone down another passage looking for a way out."

As Olaf comes down the passage toward Dieter and Ulric he says, "If you've cleared the room, I think we should return to the others quickly. We were hard pressed here, they may be hard pressed as well."

"If you agree, I'll hurry back to gather Wibert and Desmond and we can return wince we came."

Back the way we came. We don't know that the others don't need our help, and we have good reason to think they DO. Besides, as you say, it's best to not split the party. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

"Back to the rest," Dieter says, his first thought automatically the rest of the group. "We don't even know if they still live."

"Does anybody have a spare shield, by the way?"

And were any of the undead carrying one? He'll take it; he's not proud.
