two zombies ignore her as the Madge runs by them stopping Chantilly from reaching her
after Madge hugs her fathers corpse, a moment later Madge's father twists her head off with a loud snap, and you hear the head softy saying "Daddy" once.
"You're going too far, Mord!" Lao shouts as he steps towards the zombies. "And these need to leave this place!" Holy energy flows from the cleric to banish the zombies.

"Madge! NO!" Eliannador shrieks as she helplessly watches Madge's brutal killing. She then lashes out at the nearest zombie with a blast from her healing hex.
Initiative:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Healing Hex: 10 damage (Will save DC 14 for 1/2)

Pharysene gapes in astonishment and fright at first. Then she sees Madge running up to one of them.
"Madge! Wait! STOP!" She raises her hand uselessly.
When Madge is brutally killed by the zombie she called "Father", Pharysene steps forward and whirls around, whipping her bladed scarf at it.
Bladed Scarf attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 for a possible 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 cutting damage.

Eliannador offers Chantilly a wry grin, nodding to the woman's hands, "I'd wager you didn't get those from your father, hmm?" She then huffs, and scratches Nef's head as it pokes out over her shoulder from his pouch in her pack. Looking at the zombie's and Madge's broken forms, she mutters, "Oh Nef, I hate this wretched place."
Setting aside her revulsion for a moment, Magenta quickly searches the earthly remains of these souls. Explaining she says I do not look to loot the dead. Some clue may be found here. Maybe someone better at searching than lend a hand?
Ava is caught off-guard by the events, especially Madge's death. "This place. It's unholy." She looks over the zombie bodies to see if there's any sign of what used to be Tarblek.
Ava sighs. "That's two we've lost down here. If we don't figure this out, Mord is going to kill us all. And in the worst ways possible." She turns away from Madge's headless body.
Looking at Chantilly and her hands, Avalerdis seems wary. "You're not really Ulfen, are you? No Ulfen has hands like that..."
"My father was Ulfen, that makes me Ulfen. And don't you try to make it otherwise! My mother may have been different, but my Ulfen side is all that matters now."
"Ladies, I think we have much more pressing issues than our lineage. Such as figuring out if there's any way we can get out of here safely without having to witness Mord's revenge on any more jurors," Lao says as he walks out the door. "I think we should go upstairs before more dead men walk into the morgue."

Eliannador nods at Tran's wisdom. As she leaves the room with the group, she glances at Madge's remains once again. A shiver runs down her body which isn't from the cold.
Ava stares at the newcomers' insistence that heritage meant little. It was a foolish notion. Heritage was not just your clan or your parents. It was your values, your traditions, and your strengths. "In the North, heritage still means something. Not only to be judged by, but also to shaped by and to support you. It is how you are taught to live you life, what you hold dear, and what you are willing to sacrifice for." She looks to Chantilly. "If you are Ulfen, then you understand. It's not who your mother was, but how she taught you to live. It's what gives you whatever power you have. And you may not get to pick it, Magenta, but it shapes you regardless."
She pauses for a moment. "My judgement may be hasty. But we eventually see the results of heritage." She glances at Eliannador with a look of approval.
"Come, enough of this. Lao is right. Let's get out of this cursed basement."
After failing to find anything unusual about the walls of the morgue, Magenta indicates she is ready to leave the basement but is reluctant to go first. What is up there? she asks with a worried look on her face.
"Mord for one thing, but he seems content to allow us the run of the place. We've explored all of the ground floor, I think. We should try to see what's upstairs."
HP: 11/13 | F +0/ R +5/ W +3 | AC: 13 (T 13/FF 10) | Healing Hex'd: self, Duc, Pharysene | Fortune'd: Ava, Chantilly
Eliannador nods as Ava suggests they venture to the second floor. As the group leaves the mortuary and files into the hallway, the pale skinned elf will turn her attention to Chantilly and Magenta, "I'm sorry, both of you. That you've been drawn into this nightmare as well."
when you reach the ground floor, you find Halgrak sitting on the floor idly stitching his pickled toes back on to his right foot with needle and thread.
"You're welcome to try the front door if you'd like, Miss Magenta," Lao says. "But you should know that Miss Avalerdis has attempted to smash the door, and windows, open already and failed. I believe a strong magic keeps the exits barred until we get to the bottom of this mystery."
The cleric notices Halgrak engaged in do-it-yourself surgery. "Incredible," Lao mutters. "I was certain his injuries were fatal and performing his gruesome task as if he's not feeling any pain..." He lets the thought trail off as he carefully approaches the half-orc. "It ummm... looks like you've done this before."
HP: 11/13 | F +0/ R +5/ W +3 | AC: 13 (T 13/FF 10) | Healing Hex'd: self, Duc, Pharysene | Fortune'd: Ava, Chantilly
Eliannador grimaces as she sees what the half-orc is doing. Shaking her head in disgust, she taps Tran on the shoulder. A slight yet invigorating chill ripples over him from where her hand briefly rested.
cast guidance on Tran: +1 on your next attack, save, or skill check!
"What did you think you were doing?" Lao starts removing Halgrak's dead toes and applying herbal remedies from his healer's kit to stop the spread of disease from the rotten dactyls.
