The creature inside stepped into the doorframe, it’s very presence beating against your mind. It’s flesh mottled grey, its eyes red, it is dressed in the mottled leather armor that barbarians and rangers often use.
He turned left and attacked Big John!
for a possible damage plus 1 level energy drain.
Standing alongside the wall before engaging the undead monsters, Faerieth utters a lilting druidic chant, running her hands along her staff, the wood thickening and becoming dense and knotty.
Arlen takes advantage of the clear sight line to shoot straight forward.
Russet gallops forward and slams his horns into the ghoul by Big John.
Yaron starts to raise his bow with his quivering hands, then thinks the better of it, and instead takes a deep breath (certainly not to steady himself), before beginning, "There once was some shriveled undead, who were trying to stay well fed, but we sure aren't easy prey, that they'll learn the hard way, when we bash every one in the head."
He let loose a shrill whistle as he took a step closer to the wall to completely flank the creature with Sebastion. He hacked at the undead creature between him and his mount.
The undead clawed and bit at Big John and one rent made it past the masterful breastplate the warrior wore. The chill that ran down his spine was far stronger than just his skin’s reaction to the touch of the undead’s cold flesh.
”What are these!? These are unlike any zombie I’ve seen on the battlefield! Their touch it’s . . . It’s like I want to freeze in place. Must, fight, through it!”
”Get your filthy claws off me you scab bag!”
John’s sword lances at the undead he had already struck once seeking to end its miserable existence!
The angry spirits rush to add their own vengeance to the fray.

for
"git off me cheeky bugger!"
He growled almost matching his wolfdog's intensity. He took a sidestep sliping under the large elk to keep the blasted undead creature between himself and Sebastion, before hacking hard at it.
Sebastion too lunged low ripping at its ankles with snarling teeth
Faerieth, seeing the skilled flank set up between Darry and Sebastion, moves to try to gain the same advantage with Russet before taking a swing at the undead with her enhanced staff
Arlen comes over to the ghoul, pulling out the battle axe, and then, holding it steady, he commands Russet to flank with him, then strikes the ghoul as soon as Russet is in position.

He didnt like the looks of the thing, nor the way it was savaging the big man. Gathering up all his courage he let loose his fiercest warcry, got behind his shield and rushed for the monster barreling into it and trying to push it back into the house and away from John.
”Eghhh, I’m startin to run outta steam here. I’m already wounded by it. Maybe ya’ll should pull out. I’ll try an’hold it here for as long as I can! Umphf!”
Keeping his shield up he swings his broad bladed sword at the wight. His face is a mix of grim determination and acceptance of fate.
The angry spirits wrap around Big John and unleash themselves on the undead tormentor!
"You're the one who needs to fall back John! You're not fighting alone. The others can handle this." Faerith responds.
Yaron calls out his agreement with the Druid, "I've got a shot lined up, I just need less John in the way of my arrow."
”Alright then! Let’s all go down together!”
Keeping his shield up John backs away hoping to give the bowman a clear shoot. Whacking his battered sword hilt against his shield he calls out to the wight.
”Come on out so we can turn you into a zombie pin cushion!”
He calls out gleefully to Yaron.
”Send it Yaron! Make it count!”

Staggered back by Darry's bull rush, the Wight recovered and clawed at Darry in an icy fury.
for a possible damage plus 1 level energy drain.
"Get out of there Darry! We need to fight it together!"
He gasped as somehow the creatures claws just nicked past his defense. He suddenly felt a claw of ice clutch at his chest and he froze for a minute. Yeah, maybe trying to force his way in to make space for others was a bad idea. At least it sounded like Big John was out of the way.
" Were you always this ugly or did death do it to you?"
He asked as he held up his shield and backpedalled ducking under the elks legs to clear the path for the monster to advance.
Yaron continues his stream of the absurd while bringing up his bow again, waiting for Darry to step back before firing.

(npc) Arlen fired, but missed.
(npc) Yaron shifted around, fired but missed.
(npc) Russet took fright when the thing turned and reached towards him. Slamming his head forward, he gored the creature hard, knocking him back into the cabin wall and into a boneless heap.
The sensation of supernatural fear recedes, leaving no trace. It is now just a pleasant fall evening.
The battle is over.
So, now what do you do?
Yaron stops reciting his doggerel and looks around, concerned, "Everyone okay? What the heck was that thing?"
"I thought those blasted cats were bad. I feel weak... tired. Right after this bugger got a claw into me."
He approached it and just in case took out his axe and severed its head from its body.
"By Sarenrae's golden gaze what a rough few days eh boy?"
He asked patting Sebastian and trying to catch breath that wasnt there.
Leaning heavily on her staff for a moment as she works to push past the sense of being drained, Faerieth speaks a word in druidic, setting the crystal atop her staff alight with a green glow. Holding it up to illuminate the darkness, she steps into the room illuminating its darkest corners.
"So do I..it only scratched me, but it felt like it managed to go far deeper than flesh." she agrees.
"Undead. Nasty stuff. Best to burn it."
Arlen checks the body for any identifying marks or interesting gear. As he does so, he agrees it should be burnt.
"Then let's see what's going on in the cabin. "
Big Johns chest heaves and he stands bent over, hands just above his knees.
”I felt like he was trying to recruit me into his merry little band of rotting corpses.”
He continues to try and catch his breath.
”Hang on . . . wow . . . Phew! Ha! A little out of breath still.”
He holds up a finger and wipes his brow.
”It just feels like. Like, um. His hands are still in me, like he left a hole in me and part of me is running out or something.”
Big John stands up straight, but somehow looks lessened.
”I’ll get my crap together here in a second and come help you.”
He pulls up his belt resolutely.
Then rushes over a retches into a bush.
”Man. That fight really took the life outta me.”
