"I said begone!"
You must move before your attack, not after. You must move at least 10 feet (2 squares) and may move up to double your speed directly toward the designated opponent. If you move a distance equal to your speed or less, you can also draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1.
You must have a clear path toward the opponent, and nothing can hinder your movement (such as difficult terrain or obstacles). You must move to the closest space from which you can attack the opponent. If this space is occupied or otherwise blocked, you can't charge. If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks movement, slows movement, or contains a creature (even an ally), you can't charge. Helpless creatures don't stop a charge.
If you don't have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can't charge that opponent.
You can't take a 5-foot step in the same round as a charge.
If you are able to take only a standard action on your turn, you can still charge, but you are only allowed to move up to your speed (instead of up to double your speed) and you cannot draw a weapon unless you possess the Quick Draw feat. You can't use this option unless you are restricted to taking only a standard action on your turn.

Felicitas will aid Grungsdi.
The woman is still there, she looks dazed her eyes are glassy, and she has not reacted during this entire encounter.
Karnog tends to the woman, examining her first for physical damage and then disease or toxins.
Heal
"Peace, woman. We mean you no harm. What befell you here? Did that creature touch you, or affect you with its magics?"
"How is everyone holding up? Did the undead drain you of life essence, or cause any other damage?
Karnog the woman appears nearly comatose when you exam her, she stares off at a distance and her skin is cold to the touch. You figure she was slowly being leached of her life essence.
With a healing touch Karnog eventually coaxes the lady out of her trance. She sits frightened at first but then her eyes scan the cave frantically. She searches for the creature. The sight of the adventurers confuses her until it dawns on her that she is being rescued or being transferred to a new captor. "W..wh...where is it?"
"If ye mean the big undead creature with the scary face in its belly, don't worry. We killed it fer real this time."
Karnog offers the shocked woman water and food, earing ans drinking of some to show it's purity if she balks.
"What's yer name? And do yen have any other injuries? Any pain or sickness?"
"I'm Karnog, and ye're safe fer now. Well, safer than ye were a few minutes ago, at least."
"It's g..g...gone? Really." A tear runs down her cheek. She glances at the dust where the body lays destroyed. "It attacked our caravan and killed everyone. The wizard...fighters...the holy man." She stumbles over her words holding back the tears. "I'm Jennira, a servant. We were heading to a trading post."
Looking around Felicitas checks for magical auras
Sense motive
"Aye, the creature has been destroyed for good. Where was your caravan heading? And from where? As a human, it's very odd to find your kind down here below."
Grung grunts
"I've been a servant since I could remember. I head where he goes, serve him in any capacity." She shrugs. "My Master travels the tunnels buying and selling with many tribes, merchants and dwellers. Mostly dark elf, druegar, orc, and goblins." You can see she is very pale in color, so you know she has not see daylight for a long period of time. "We were coming from a druegar post trading ores and heading to see the traveling dead."
"You are a slave no longer."
She looks scared, her eyes widen. "B..b...but who will take c...c...care of me? W...w...w...wh...where will I go? It's a death sentence for me." Sheer panic.
Born a slave. What a tragedy. "Let's get you set up with a nice job, maybe serving drinks or doing dishes. It's kind of like being a slave, but the people in charge aren't as mean and you get paid."
"She should decide her own path. What would you dream to be? What brings you actual joy?"
The woman shrugs, "I like laying with the Master or his guests. I do as commanded." She looks at your gear. "I clean well and cook good."
"I agree with you, Kalim. This woman has seen many trials and much pain. Miss, what is your name? How would you like to be called?"
Karnog offers her some rations and water, even some beer if she seems up to it.
"Perhaps you would like to travel with us, at least for the time being? It is extremely dangerous where we go, but I fear even more so to be here by yourself. I, for one, would not command you anything, but offer you passage with me for as long as you require."
"I d..d...don't want to go on my own." Wide eyed. "I'm known as Servant."
"Have you enjoyed stories in this life? You have a rare opportunity: to name yourself."
The woman now on her feet blinks at Kalim and his growth. "Er...are you ok?" She steps towards Karnog. "Is he one of those." She points to the dust. "I like the name...Ailey." She steps further away from Kalim. "W..w..where are you going to take me?"
"Kalim, one of the undead? Hardly." Karnog grins and gestures towards the sorcerer broadly.
"He's a bit weird for a human, and he's quite the fighter against evil. He's a good companion and friend." Taking his everfull mug back from the newly named Alley, Karnog finishes off the beer remaining.
"We are traveling deeper into this place, and looking to drive the evil away. It will be dangerous, but I think you'd be in even greater risk here alone."
We will get you some place safe lass. Just got to go somewhere darker first.
Kalim breaks a rare smile. "I assure you I am fully hu-hm--I am fully alive. This..." he indicates his tumor, which pulses and separates, flying a few circles around Allain. "...is Bhagavāna Kī Ulti. You can call her Bhagy. Bhagy, this is Allain."
Desmond gives a winning smile. "Desmond Aeros, at your service. Don't worry, we shall do our best to get you to a safer place."
She visibly relaxes and winks at Desmond. "We were heading to the caravan (lich) and then to the dark elves for trading." She looks around but sees not usable gear to pick up. "I c..c..can carry a pack...I often served as the mule when needed." She tries to smooth out what little clothing she has on.
"Well I don't know about that whole mule business, but a pretty girl like you should be able to defend herself against unwanted suitors." Desmond takes out a dagger and hands it hilt first to her.
She blushes as Desmond flirts. She reaches out timidly and takes hold of the dagger hilt. She stares at the blade.
"Damned gods, we didn't even get to set up the betting pool for how long it'd take the swordsman to hit on her yet!"
Grung guffaws at that
At least offer the lady a drink!
"Well that's your mistake, isn't it?" He smiles and takes out his everfull mug. "Although you do look like you may need something to drink."
"Not now Desmond. Later! Let´s continue!"
She gets up and steps over to Karnog, she smiles. "I'm r...r...ready now. I'll walk near you if that's ok." She notices Desmond moves towards the front of the group.
"W..why are you down here...Trade?" She nervously chatters, clearly scared.
