"Let's defend the entrance,in the hope there is only one.I haven't fully recoverd my skills yet,so this isn't going to be easy."
There's definitely more than one.Keekaw,how many can you see?
She strapped her buckler to her arm,adjusted her armor,patted her heavy pick at her belt and raised both pistols.Ready!
"Jusht push it open"
There are two poles attached to the hinged-on-top front door which when pushed out become the supports. The bottom swings down when the top is pushed out.
You could fit the double barrel through if turned sideways, but you would have a little difficulty aiming.
Syndlara nods, draws her scimitar, and starts to push the entrance open.
"Only one entrance Gatherine,not only one enemy."
Iolana too is ready,scimitar drawn and waiting in front of the door.
Tol picks up his shield and takes the other side of the door. He looks around at the others to make sure they are ready, then helps Syndlara push.
Gatherine saw the others readying themselves to push open the door hinged on top of the crab.She returned to the peephole and shoved the doubled barreled pistol thru it sideways.She saw the clustered bodies on the other side in the darkness clearly with her darkvision.Twinbellows roared twice,bucking in the peephole.

With your ears ringing from the gunshot, you swing open the door, and see over half a dozen zombies in the dim moonlight. All of them look to be in bad shape (in addition to being dead) Many of them are missing their legs below the knee, and claw toward you with their mouths agape. Chunks of zombie litter the sand around where Gatherine fired her pistol.
Oi!Get the ones with legs first,we can take care of the gimpy ones last!
As the "door" opens, Syndlara spots the zombie immediately to her left. Reacting quickly, she slashes at it in an attempt to batter aside its groping claw-like hands. "You can look, but don't touch!" she quips, dancing past it to what she considers more favorable terrain--open space.
Gatherine saw the elf lunge out of the crab hut and slice into a ragged zombie that scuttled toward her like some macabre insect.She cursed as she saw the small crowd of Undead begin to shamble towards them,taking up her powder horn and two bullets to reload Twinbellows.
She aimed around Tol from the opening's corner,leveling Sneezy Dragon at the only zombie standing upright ten feet away amongst a pair of zombies that floundered on their bellies in the sand due to their lack of legs.
Oi!Grit 'n glory!!With a cry,she pulled the trigger and Sneezy Dragon spat a burst of flashing flame and a ball of hot lead into the approaching foe.

The zombie lurches for Syndlara. As soon as she moves, it drops his shoulder and lunges, but slams its fist into the shell a split-second too slow... another split-second after that Gatherine's shot blows it's arm and a third of it's torso off... and then it explodes into a dusty foul mess.
The other zombies work there way around the claw toward Syndlara.
The northernmost crawler scrambles with ridiculous speed, and slams a fist into her - a devastating blow - before flopping onto the ground.
fail=hmm. you seem fine, just a scratchy throat.
"Gah! NO! Stop her! She'll die!" Kekkaw lifts the crab-arm again, and locks it in place. He then moves to where his sabre hangs, and pulls it from the wall. "We have no chance! Bip bip buurrip.. no chance.. "

"Those crawlers are definitely not slow!" Syndlara gasps as she staggers back a step under the crawling zombie's assault.
already so little room,and i have to leave some for Tol too.

Tol steps forward into the gap between Iolana and Mugambi, axe and shield ready. "" he cries in his powerful rolling bass, " Er..." His pronouncement falters as he leans down to take a slash at one of the maimed zombies on the sandy ground before him, "That goes for the crawling dead too!"
]
The party moves into position. Tol's axe just misses the injured crawler.
Kekkaw hops up and slashes at the overhead tarp's binding on one side. The tarp flaps down - causing a bit of water to spill, and a rope ladder unrolls from the middle of the ceiling. "Dorf girl. Push open the oven hatch up top. You kek kek can shoot from up there, buurrip ip."
Not dead. Just blew a chunk out of him.
Warding off her opponents with her curved blade, Syndlara takes a step back and begins murmuring arcane syllables, her free hand weaving in esoteric gestures. As her spell completes, the worst of her bruises from the crawling zombie's powerful swing mend beneath her chain shirt.

Gatherine stared in dumbfounded horror over Tol's shoulder when one of the legless zombies scrambled forward with a burst of speed on its stumps and flung a fist into the elf,making her stagger.Blood flecked her lips as she gasped.
What the fff--I don't even....IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY BLASTED LEGS!
Seething in frustration,the dwarf girl watched the Undead start to cluster around the others in a tight circle.She hesitated seeing that she might accidentally shoot someone in such cramped positions.
Then she heard Keekaw chirp and slash his blade overhead.Water spattered onto her hat and a sturdy rope ladder unraveled from above.
Grinning,she let Sneezy Dragon dangle from her wrist and grabbed onto it.With surprising agility for her kind,she clambered up the ladder and pushed open the portal built into the crab's top.
She found herself on the roof looking down at the scene below.She noticed how the zombie she had shot was still active albeit with a smoking hole through its desiccated torso.
SHe took great care to aim as far away from her allies as possible while focusing on the Undead.She leveled the twinbarreled pistol at the skull-faced horrors.

There is a loud bang from above and behind you, a split second later another zombie explodes in a cloud of dust from Gatherine's pistol - showering the crawlers around it.
The last walker finds itself behind a wall of crawlers. The crawlers - each with their own target - try to pummel those in front of them.
The ones on Mugambi and Iolana miss... Tol and Syndlara are not so lucky.
Regarding Twinbellows (double barrel pistols)
You can fire one shot each round for no extra penalty (benefit is getting two rds without having to reload)
Or you can fire both barrels at once at one target. This gives a -4 penalty to both shots, so you would mainly want to fire both at once within 20'
later when you are high enough level for 2 attacks a round you can fire at multiple targets.
Mugambi attacks the injured undead in front of Tol trying to reduce their number.
Tol whistles for Gorra, and the horse obediently moves up behind him, prancing nervously. The dwarf swings his axe again at the line of oncoming zombies, but stumbles a little in the uneven sand, barely keeping hold of his axe.

Syndlara slips into the steps of her blade dance, her scimitar whirling and slashing at the zombie in front of her.
You fired both at the same time, and still hit with me adding the -4 to hit for firing both at once.

Again,Gatherine whooped and fired a shot from Sneezy Dragon from the crab hut's roof into the Undead mob below.
She scrambled to reload Twinbellows,fumbling with the still-smoldering barrels.
The walker gets blasted by Sneezy Dragon... shredding dead flesh and nearly knocking it over. It recovers and looks up at Gatherine. It begins to climb the claw toward her... From the way it moves, it looks as though its ability to climb is more luck than agility.
The crawlers continue to bludgeon the group... the one on Mugambi pushes itself off the ground, and attempts to grapple him while his attention is focused on Tol's opponent.
You hear a gruesome crack of Iolana's collarbone and several ribs breaking as she is slammed against the shell. She slides down the outer wall to the ground.

Kekkaw rushes in and steps in front of the fallen Iolana, slashing at her attacker with his sabre. "Scraawny girl down, buurrip! Scraawny girl down!"
Mugambi focus the energies from beyond to come in rescue of him abd his comrades.
"Miss Zerengo!" Tol cries out as the human girl is knocked back by the zombie. He makes an attack at the zombie in front of him, but his attention is clearly elsewhere, and his axe comes nowhere near the crawling corpse. Steady, Tol, focus now...
Somebody get her a potion!! Hold on,Iolana!
Syndlara parries aside the groping claws of her opponent with a fluid counterstroke, then pirouettes around the monster's flailing limbs to land her scimitar heavily in the creature's side.
