The first horse disintegrates into bone dust and the next takes a hard hit too. Grergof gets his wish and the one horse comes around the back to bite him too.
Darius adds some channeling to his holy light.

Spugnoir double BLAMS the most wounded horse with his Blunderbuss
The horses don't take too well to Darius' holy treatment and Spugnoir makes one explode into a rain of bony splinters with his boom-stick.
One of the horses attacks Grergof and one Darius.
Don't you know it's not healthy to try to eat things that fight back?
Grergof continues to lay about him with his mace trusting his armor to protect him from the worst the horses can dish out.
Grergof kills two horses with two hard hits and then he runs out of targets he can reach.
With only one horse left, Darius saves the channels and turns off the light. "This one might have caught rust already. Time to dust it off."
Grergof steps up next to the last horse if he can trying to be as threating as possible so that the horse tries to hit him rather then Darius.
Abomentolor is annoyed, that he doesn't get to shine. He looks here and there, how to get a spell in without hurting the party, as he got an idea. "FIRE!" he shouts, as he stretches his arm past darius and shoots a burst of flames at the remaining horse.
Darius cuts into the horse, but his sword isn't the most effective weapon against bones. All the smoke on the horse is only fake, as becomes immediately obvious, as the horse goes up in real flames. Only charred, smoldering pieces are left after the fire blew through the undead beast.
heavy crossbow and 20 silver crossbow bolts are found.
Ahh, that was a good warmup.
Grergof stretches his back and looks around. Then he points at the carrage.
One of you may want to to check those before we move on. I see a nice looking crossbow and some silver bolts poking out from under the seat in that carriage over there.
Ohhh! This crossbow has the same enchantment against undead like my musket!
Abomentolor takes a look at it in the magical spectrum. "Why would all those undead lovers have an undead bane weapon? Do undead go rogue every now and then?"
I have a feeling that that area will be wall to wall undead
Uprooted gravestones and old bones jut from the earth like broken teeth, the gravestones’ markings long since worn away.
"Let's not go there..." Darius comments.
Why, do we want someone else to stumble into those abominations?
Though I suppose I cold be convinced to come back later.
"No one in their right mind would come to this cursed town, much less stumble into this graveyard. Every commoner would have been eaten, trampled, killed and raised as an undead already."
"We could put up a sign down the road warning people of this place instead?"
The paint wouldn't be dry before a horde of people come charging down the road to have a look.
"If you insist, you can go first. I'll help out as soon as it is clear what jumps out at you."
Go get them Varsk! Want a Death Ward?
If we are going to spend that, I'd say we get ourselves prepared and head into the main building.
Spugnoir gives Varsk the Death Ward extract
Darius cast the 'requested' air walk on _Grergof and protection from evil on all.
Abomentolor slaps on a see invisibility for Grergof and himself. "And don't run off too fast, I got haste to spare."
In the center of the monastery’s grounds, the cathedral of Renchurch sits perched on a scabby crust of crumbling rock, the black spines of its blood-soaked blades spearing into the stormy sky.
The cathedral’s exterior walls are constructed in grand gothic style, and though they appear ruined and even collapsed in places, they are deceptively strong, constructed of magically treated reinforced masonry. The outer walls incorporate tens of thousands of broken blades from fallen foes and siege engines into their construction.
Two massive iron doors constructed from hundreds of broken blades and ancient weapons form the sole entrance into the windowless abbey. Two withered and gnarled oaks flank the stone steps leading up to the doors, their bare branches hosting several desiccated corpses whose rusted armor bears the faint remnants of crusader heraldry.
Also there is a huge giant hungry looking standign in front of the door, who, besides having tusks, has a third arm which ends in a claw. And you suddenly get an uneasy feeling because of the presence of the two leafless oak trees that stand to the sides of the entrance.
Grergof bows his head, and Casts Deadly Juggernaught, and then calls a spirit into Raven's Head setting it glowing.
Then with all spells cast, he checks to make sure the others are OK, and opens his eyes to see what is evil around him. Then he strides up in the direction of the front door. The fear seems to have no impact on him, and the sight of that gives you each a little more courage against the fear ahead of you.
As he approaches he raises his shield and mace ready for an attack while he thinks back to his teaching days to determine if he knows what this thing is.
I have an extract that can make you just as big as the giant! So it can't do things like put it's hand ony our head and keep you away.
Sure. Grergof grabs the extract and drinks it down before he heads to see the giant and trees plus the front door.
Spugnoir loads his musket!
Abomentolor casts haste on the party before Grergof leaves.
Grergof walks towards the giant when suddenly the tree jumps in his way and its roots lash out at him.

Spugnoir chucks a fire bomb at the hostile tree attacking Grergof
The fire has no effect on the trees, other than it lights up shortly on impact.
As the tree jumps in front of him and tries to grab him, Grergof stops moving and smashes at it with his enlarged mace.
+ 2 more if this is undead.
If this is an undead this takes additional damage and must make a will 14 save or be destroyed.
"They are all alive!" Darius recognizes in horror. As he is not prepared for living enemies, he casts bless to support his companions.
The tree is hit hard with the mace and a big chunk is taken out ot the trunk. Even though it is a ravenhead and no woodpecker head.
The giant steps closer and attacks Grergof. The trees fight over who gets to eat Grergof. One of them manages to grab him with a root and pull him 10 ft closer to it's mouth.

Spugnoir chucks a Frost Bomb and then a Holy Bomb at the tree he struck before, trying to find the right combo wombo
When he can Grergof goes to town on the tree that grabbed him.
But clearly he has a hard time with all the roots coming at him.
Spugnoir hits the tree with both bombs. The frost bomb works properly, the holy bomb only limited. But the result is sufficient, as the tree falls after two more chops from Grergof.
Abomentolor thinks, that giants are stupid brutes. And he puts that theory to the test.
The giant is bound by a chain of golden light and can't move
Darius heroically charges the paralyzed giant with his sword, but he stumbles and is lucky, that he doesn't fall into his own blade.
With the one tree down, the other tree pulls Grergof closer and takes a bite of the paladin.
The giant is currently indisposed.
As the giant isn't resisting in any way Darius tries another approach and drives his blade in, where he suspects some vital organs. "I'll chop off your head next, once I can reach your neck!"
The giant's last breath is his death rattle. He falls like a tree and bloody foam comes out of his mouth.
I am NOT FOOD!
Grergof shout out as his mace blurs into attacks that target the tree that is trying to bring him closer.
As he attacks he refreshes himself with his divine power
