The dagger slashes deep and the zombie's head flops around on a thin sliver of flesh at its back, but it still moves. Its dead eyes seem to follow Rameth even as its body points at Dwalindor.
Dwalindor finishes off the zombie Rameth attacked, leaving only two standing.
"I'm getting a little tired of all these undead. They don't go down with an arrow like things are supposed to."
Calin drops his bow and draws a dagger. He steps back up to Q10 and slashes at the zombie.
Calin's...attack...causes the zombie very little pause but it does stagger a bit as a result of the slash.
Albus's sword cuts deep, destroying the zombie in another flash of fire.
The last zombie, unable to properly focus on Dwalindor, swivvles, the head swinging out as it whirls around.
Its arms flail at Rameth, connecting against the investigator.
Rameth grunts and returns the favor, drawing yet a third sharpened dagger
to aid dwalindors next attack
Rameth's dagger misses the zombie's form, no doubt unbalanced from the vicious hit by the zombie's scabrous claw-like hands.
As the last Zombie falls, Rameth quickly gathers his blades and resheatehs them and redraws his spear.
Audia, patch me up will ya?
Rameth then downs his mutagen
Audia takes a step outside to survey the street.
Audia moves over to Rameth and converts Grace to healing.
Good. Not sure where we found you but you are a welcome addition.
Rameth moves to the doors and moves them off of the servants
Lindo, why is your ear hanging like that? You should get that looked at.
Dwalindor's axe hacks the last zombie to death and people are still stampeding for the door.
After Audia heals Rameth, she turns to see the people crowding out of the accident knock into some scaffolding that was at the front of the auciton house holding masonry for repairs. Before she can even shout a warning the scaffolding collapses on two of the guests, Maru and Namaru Meshhoten - who bought some of your treasure.
They cry out for help, as the masonry is pressing on them and could kill them if not removed.
Rameth races to that side and begins moving the pieces off of them
Audia give us a healing burst! These are our clients!
Rameth stands there as well.
Calin moves to the further victim and swaps out aspect of the tiger for bull.
I can be your hero baby
Audia channels energy for healing
Albus grunts in relief as the healing energy washes over him.
Thanks love, the man is right, you are a welcome sight indeed. His first impulse is to help the others but they seem to have the situation in hand. He looks around searching for more foes.
We have not see that necromancer yet... I wonder if he is still around...
As Albus looks out he sees a terrible sight.
The Canny Jackal is on the Sunburst Market, the large center of Wati's living city. As Albus knows well, the habit of the city is to cut the hands off of thieves and to dry them in salt and hang them from the Pillar of Second Thoughts.
You see that the necromantic pulse has done more than cause zombies to rise - the hands on the pillar have likewise animated and several have freed themselves from their bonds. Six are headed towards you now.

Rameth moves to N-18
Rameth, you recognize that these hands are a relatively uncommon form of undead: the crawling hand.
Normally created by necromancers looking for undetectable assassins, the hands can be anointed with blood to track a particular quarry.
They're not resistant to any damage that you know of, not more so than any normal undead, and they're notorious for trying to strangle humanoids once they attack.
Rameth chugs down his Bull Strength Extract
Albus retreats , closing the gap between him and the group, and readies an attack against the first target in range.
Chopped hands swarm?!
Gotta be kidding me...
Audia moves up to P-17 and begins to cast channel energy to damage undead.
I always hate it when the boys get "handsy"
Audia's energy burst causes the hands to sizzle and they seem barely animated by the remaining necromatic energy.
One that moves towards Albus is destroyed as he swings lows and cuts the hand in half.
Calin was nice enough to notify me I'd accidentally ignored his untitled spoiler.
Tobbs is now on the map.
We should be fine.

As Tobbs comes around the corner of the building he see the meat crawling towards his companions. Meat should stay dead.
"Grrrrrr!"
Tobbs moves to R19 and attacks the nearest meat.
Seeing that Tobbs has finally joined Calin begins to cast.
"I can't move very much rubble but I can do something about these things!
Calin casts Aggressive Thundercloud upon the hand at O22.
After releasing the thundercloud, Calin moves to Q13.
Dwalindor manages to clear a little over a quarter of the masonry off of Namu.
Tobbs' attacks destroy the hand at Q20, leaving him snacking on human jerky.
None of the hands go near Rameth.
A blast of Calin's lightning destroys the hand at O22.
The remain hands scurry at all of you. One "sprints" deep into the auction house where it latches around the throat of one of the guests, Menya the Whip.
The others turn on the adventurers, one trying to dig into Tobbs and the other launching itself at Audia.
[ooc]Vs. Audia's CMD[/dice]
While it fails to strangle the young cleric, it does manage to do some damage as it attacks her.
Calin, save the Whip woman! Rameth 5 fits to O-19, He studies the hands and knows exactly how to kill them
Rameth deftly skewers the hand attacking Audia.

Tobbs attacks the meat coming after him.
Rameth deftly skewers the hand attacking Audia and Tobbs chews through the second hand, only the hand attacking Menya is left.
