Flynn retreats back to the cave entrance, feeling another huge clubbing blow at the back of his neck. Though darkness was closing in, that blow brought with it a flash of blinding, agonising white light.
Sk-y... he croaks, spitting up blood. Skyfall! he manages to shout with a huge amount of effort.
But in the howling wind of the canyon, he doubts his words can be heard
Flynn receives the healing spell very gratefully.
The giant tumbles down in to the pit Lilith's magic makes of the cave floor.
From where you last heard spellcasting, there is only silence...

That undead thing will be back up in less than a minute. I bought us some time is all. Lets regroup, heal up, and try to track down that caster. Moving to Flynn Lilith offer I can help close your wounds but I must call on powers I learned of in Cheliax. Would you have it? If Flynn is ok with it Lilith casts Infernal healing on him.

Lilith, I feel like my insides are broken glass. Give me what you got. he says without hesitation, taking her hand in support.
The feeling that spreads through his is not warm and wholesome as it had felt when Lenneth had healed him previously but cold and merciless, like he had stepped out into a frigid wind. He wonders briefly if this was how the undead felt but pushes to it one side as his wounds gradually close.
You hear groaning and thumping from the depths of Lilith's summoned pit.
There is silence from the corner of the corridor where it leads off in to the depths...

Feldus stays near the entrance trying to sniff for any signs of the Way cultist, yet the overpowering stench of the undead giant defeats his efforts. Not bothering to waste his breath here he simply nods and readies his blade, padding silently behind the others.
She must be up above the storm. I hope she's ok...
Still gripping his longsword, Flynn heads forward with the rest mindful of the giant that is about to raise back to the surface in less than a minute
"Let's pull back if we can - so we can all act if and when this thing comes out."
With a few moments to breath Melo places a hand on his injured shoulder and channels healing energy into it, his bones remind and his muscles sew its self back together.
"I can heal you Flynn, but I won't have anything more left. I'm also too weak to shift again." He steps next to Flyn and channels healing energy into his friend.
"Let's deal with this giant first, and then that caster." He steps closer to the pit.

Melo turns and smiles at Lenneth as he feels his wounds close up further. "Thank you." He says before turning back looking at the pit.

As you gather around the pit and wait for the giant to come back to the surface, Lilith's lights reflect off a small pebble as it skitters across the floor and comes to rest, oddly having made no noise. It spins and comes to a rest, before erupting in a fiery explosion the washes over all of you, funneling down the narrow cave corridor and out in to the air outside...
As the pebble skitters into view, Valex, warned by what intuition he does not know, shouts "Down!" as he spins to the wall, burying his face in his shoulder against some irregularity of the passage as the flames wash over them.
Nope
Flynn tries to dive for cover but feels the searing heat scorch his back.
Melo roars out in pain as the fire burns his exposed flesh.

"Dammit to Hells!"
As Lenneth negates her silencing magic, you hear high-pitched laughter around the corner, disappearing off in to the distance.
The magic on Lilith's pit begins to fade and the undead giant begins its ascent.
Lilith, as you peer around the corner your dancing lights illuminate a twisting and rough natural stone corridor that runs for 50 feet or so then takes a sharp turn.
As the pit begins phasing out of existence, Feldus again tries to manipulate the tendrils of necromatic energy that bind it to unlife...

something was not right about that fireball spell. Lilith recounts as she begins to cast another spell. It was more like it was an item than a spell. Maybe a fire bead. I have heard of such things. That could mean we do not face a caster at all. She points to herself and then points down the passage and completing her spell vanishes. Her lights flash ahead of her down the passage.
Lilith casts Vanish and moves down the passage.
Melo steps to the pit ready to strike out at the undead. "That's something, we will deal with whatever burn us after this large guy." He responds to Lilith.
Lilith disappears around the corner.
You notice no traps or other obstacles until the corridor opens up in to a giant cavern. There is a single spindly 5' wide bridge of rock spanning between the near and far sides, and halfway over the 100' span, a robed humanoid is hurrying across.
Valex notes that aside from its sheer size, the giant zombie is just that, a larger than normal zombie but a zombie nonetheless, with the associated strengths and weaknesses.
Flynn's strike is true as the giant once again stands on the corridor floor, and a gaping hole appears in its side.
Feldus feels the curse of undeath resisting his power and attempts to overcome it...
...and feels a sense of relief as he succeeds. Quickly he sends a imple command to it: Hold!
Feldus feels resistance, but like breaking the surface tension of water, his magic overcomes the curse animating the giant. It towers over the party... but stands still and doesn't move...
Feldus breathes a sigh of relief. "OK it should be safe now. Let's go and find our friend."
Melo eye's up the large undead giant. "You took control of it? I don't know if I trust it to just stand there." He still holds up his club ready to swing at the thing.
"As long as my friend does not return, it will stand there for hours!" Feldus responds with an acerbic tone
